re nj Times Collect Curious Things
without Looking For Them.
Few people are aware, says Fred w.
Saxby in the Strand Magazine, that
we are all constantly collecting" curl
Gus things without looking for them:
In the very act of looking up at the
fieeting spectacle of fiery orb the
reader with the big, wide open eyes
may easily receive in one Of his own
orbs tiny sphere from afar that was
produced in glowing streak Of light
like the one he is admiring.
Meteoric dust is ever falling and up
on all parts OF our planet. The little
spheres have been found upon the
decks of ships far out at sea, in all
the deserts Of the earth and on the
tops Of snow clad mountains. Dredg-
ings brought up from the silent depths
of the ocean give testimony Of their
universal presence. The particles all
contain iron and are easily collected
by the magnet from the roof of any
clubhouse or other place exposed di-
rectly to the sky.
Seafarers are sometimes pelted with
dust of quite different kind, compos-
ed of the microscopic finty skeletons
of beautiful plants called "diatoms."
These tiny plants live in both salt
and fresh water and occur in enor-
nous numbers in some localities. Oc-
casionally water courses and inundat-
ed areas dry up. and the iinty shells
of the diatoms which grew there are
blown about as dust. There are sew
eral instances on record OF diatoma-
ceous dust falls at sea. During the
thickest part of the fall the sailors
have experienced much pain in their
eyes. the Inflammation being caused
by the little fiinty shells.

NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-R. L. Delisser,
New York racing promoter, returned
from the island of Jamaica today with
the announcement that Knutsford
park tract in Jamaica will try to Sc
cure the racing which ordinarily would
take place at New Orleans and at Ben
nings.
"The wiping out of the New Orleans
and Washington tracks means that the
east will be left this winter without
any track" said Mr.. Delisser, "and
the only track in the country in the
winter months will be that in Califor-
mia, 1t costs $1,000 a car to ship horses
from New York to California, twelve
horses in a car and only $50 each, or
$3.50 for twelve, to send horses from
here to Jamaica. California is sep
arate6 from New York by several
hours difference in time, Jamaica by
only seven minutes, so that the pool
rooms in New York and through the
east can operate in proper hours on the
Jamaica races"
Delisser said he understands that
$1,000 already had been put up for
enIarging the Jamaica track and that
stables are now being built on it for
the accommodation of a big winter
meeting.

OaKldUu o. SflSCiS
Although outbatted and outplayed,
the Commuters actually won from the
Angels yesterday, seven hits and one
error giving them six runs in two in
ngs. There is no room for excuses as
to how the trick was turned, as only
an extraordinary and decided form re-
versal for the visitors could bring
about such a startling result Koestner
pitched a good game and deserved to
win, but Delmas' error in the fourth,
with two men out and the third looking
to be an easy chance, presented the
oaks with three runs when they should
have been retired without score in
this inning. This indicates that, with
good support in the field, koestner
would have won his game 4 to g.
After the Commuters had scored six
runs off Koesti er, Thorsen was sub
stituted, and he allowed only three hits
and no runs in the four innings he
pitched. Los Angeles batters found
Hardy huge mystery untn the sew
enth, when q run resulted from one hit
and two Gumb plays by Cook In left.
Again, in the eighth, four hits brought
in three runs, all resulting from clean
bingling. All scoring by both teams
occurred in four innings and the tall
lies resulted as follows
For Oakl- -.nd-After Van Haltren and
Cook expired via the Delmas-Dillon
route in the fourth, Heitmuller doubled

board, scoring Heitmuller, Hogan
singled to right and Miller filed the
bases with an infield safety Altman
poked one down to Delmas, who threw
low to first, Slattery and Hogan scor-
ing, Miller going to third. Lewis lined
tc Oakes.
For Oakland, in the fifth inning,
Hardy singled infield, Van Haltren
singled to lef: and Cook sacrificed both
men a base. Hardy scored on a wild
pitch. Heitmuller was passed and
Slattery hit down to Wheeler, who
failed in an attempt at catching Heit-
Hogan singled to left, scoring Van
Haltren. Miller flew to Cakes, Heit-
muller scoring on the out.
The first Angel score came in the
seventh, when Nagle hit what should
have been an easy out for Cook in left,
but Cook allowed it to roll be .'ond him,
Nagle going to second. Ellis and Del
mas famed and Hap Hogan singled to
left, Cook again being unable to get
in the way of the ball. Nagle getting to
home plate in safety.
Three more runs were scored in the
eighth. Bernard singled to center,
Cakes went the Miller-Sl route,
Dillon singled to center and Wheeler
bingled safely to left, scoring Bernard.
Nagle doubled to left scoring Dillon
and Wheeler. Then Ellis and Delmas
retired quickly, both Miller to Slattery.
The official score and summary is as

Rudy Unholz, the Boer alleged fight
er who got away with bundle of talk
and a fair imitation of winning one OF
a pair of fights here, fought his second
battle in the east Tuesday night and,
of course, got fine drubbing. Dick
Hyland not considered anything ex-
traordinary in the fight world, mopped
up with the Boer in great style and
made every round a winning one. III
the last round he floored Unholz twice
with uppercuts. Either the Boer has
gone back wonderfully or he is rank
counterfeit as topnotch fighter, prob
ably the latter. His Icy pedals caused
him to run away from a match with
Brock recently, and it is probable that
Rudy realized that he has no business
in the ring with a real fighter and
ducked while he had a chance to get
away without licking.
Harry Gilmore was around the Ri
alto yesterday with a bundle of money
that he wanted to place on Packy tc
win tomorrow night. He did not like
the odds, so he offered to bet it at
to that Packy would stop Brock. This
indicates the degree of hope entertained
at the Mcfarland camp. Cap McReat
has not been heard from, but as he
entertains the same idea, only reversed
regarding the chances of Brock, it is
probable the rival managers will be
able to accommodate one another with
this knockout proposition.

Startling Increase in Number of Fatal
Accidents Causes Movement

BY Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-The many
mortal automobile accidents at rail-
road grade crossings in the last few
months have aroused the Automobile
club of America to action, and meet
ing has been called for next Tuesday
to consider plans which may lessen the
danger.
Members of the club say that within
the last month there have been at least
a dozen such accidents in a radius of
few miles from New York. They say
the fault is divided between the rail
roads ard the automobilists. The rail-
roads, they declare, do not afford
proper safeguards at many of the
crossings, and many automobilists ap-
proach the crossings at reckless speed
Resolutions likely will be adopted at
next Tuesdays meeting asking the
railroads either to put gates at the
dangerous crossings or esablfsh flag
men. This is not the first time the
automobile club has protested against
dangerous crossings, and through its
efforts a number have been safeguarded.

LloHTWEioHTs CONFIDENT OF
SUDDEN ENDING
Scrap Tomorrow Night at Mecarey's
Pavilion Should Be Hummer from
Start TO Finish-Dlstanee
Should Be Sufficient

1t seems to be a certainty that the
fight tomorrow night between Packy
McFarland and Phil Brock will be
about the greatest ten rounds of maui
ing ever pulled off In the south be-
tween lightweights, Both boys declare
that the fight will not go the limit,
which indicates that they are talking
business when they promise that there
shall be no stalling at any time and
that the scrap will end just as speed
ily as is possible for them to bring
about a result.
1t is conceded in all circles that this
pair is about as good as the best in
the topnotch ranks of the lightweight
division and that each has attained
his prominence In the fight world be-
cause of his great punch and general
ship. Neither is capable of going INTO
a fight and win where only cleFerhess
is at issue, although both are clever IN
a degree because OF their lohS SApSlA-
ence in fighting.
Nobody will question the gameness
ana genuine courage of either, as both
boys have proved in hard uphill hghts
that they can take punishment ana
win. Each believes he is the master
of the other and this Is what makes
fight. Both being unafraid, they VIII
sail into each other with all the conn-
stop the other inside the limit.
Mcfarland has been held as faYorlte
in the betting all along, and whlle
there is less betting on the result tnah
ordinarily, because the fans are unable
to figure definitely which one OF them
is lest at the distance and Welshts'
on recent and other form, 1t is prop
shie that there is considerably more
Mcfarland money in sight than other-
wise. 1t is admitted that neither
showed his real form in local f1ghts
with Freddie Welsh. This especially
is true as to Brock, whose fights before
and after his scrap with welsh nave
been so greatly improved over mat
effort that it is admitted he either was
not in condition then or did not put
nm the best fight he knew now,
Had acky fought Welsh from the
beginning as he fought in the fnal
Ave rounds it is possible that he would
have got away with the long END OF
the purse without any argument atter-
ward. He is better trained Tor lne
fight tomorrow night than when ne
fought Welsh, too, and says ne mas mas
nrofited by his experience in that
scrap. He will not wait for any urg-
ing to set the pace, but will get BUSY
without a moments delay and try 10
stop Brock in the first round.
Two good preliminary events nave
been arranged for this scrap. In the
curtain-raiser Al Vogt, the sailor boy
and the Harlem Coffee Cooler, whom
Vogt stopped in their previous hgnI
wflI rehash their troubles over the SIX
round route. Bubbles Robinson. the
