BILLY SULLIVAN'S EXPERIENCE.
Billy Sullivan was in 1901 catching
ball for the Dubuque (owa) club, and
the season out there at that particular
period was none of the best from d
financial standpoint, and it finally got
so bad that the clubs in that league
had to play exhibition games with zap
clubs scattered throughout Iowa or
adjoining states. This necesilated
much travelling by the spike-shoe lads.
The adventures they met on the way
were varied enough to destroy any
possible m0notony that was liable to
arise.
When Sullivan was in Washington
with the Chicago team he was talking
to some of the local players regarding
his experiences during the barnstorm-
ing days above referred to, when Joe
Cantillon, the stocky manager of the
Washington club, came up to where
the group was talking and as Joe is a
native of the section of the country
over which Billy travelled he butted in
with the following:
You say that you played in Water
Vile ,eh? Well, how did you like that
town."
Why, the first time l saw the place
was simply carried away with it,"
said Sully.
you were?" queried Cantillon whose
face lighted up with pleasure at Billys
assertion.
That's what l was" reiterated Sui
Ivan as he slyly winked at Davy AL
tier; for you see, Joe, we hadn't
been in the town ten minutes before
the worst cyclone ever known in those
parts struck that dinky burg and scat

ties" a

Dick did enough to be fined, at the
smallest calculation, $1,000 and to
be put out of the game for 355 years.
Every decision made Dick would
come running in and would abuse Tim
frightfully, but Hurst, with a knowing
smile on his face, would wave him to
one side. Finally, after an unusually
fervid burst of billingsgate, Dick, stick
ing his face close up to Tins hrieked:

GREAT RACE EXPECTED.
The Grand Prix Shortly to Be Run at
Savannah.

SAVANNAH, Ga, July 1S.-That the
Grand Prix race is going to be the
greatest thing in the automobile line
ever held in America is evident from
the enormous preparations that are be-
ing made by those in charge of the
course at Savannah, and the manufac-
turers throughout the United States
who now know that all of the foreign
manufacturers are going to be repre-
scented, are showing keen interest in
the big event.
The first bona fide entry to reach
Savannah was made this week by ]. E.
Finney, the representative here for the
Atme car, and while no particulars
have been given out relative to the de-
sign of the car it is well known that it
will be of their six-cylinder type, the
bore of which will be four and nine
tenths inches, but the stroke has been
kept under cover.
Letters from different manufacturers
were received this week asking for
particulars about the course. The Sa-
vannah course will be open to the
drivers for practice two hours every
day for ten/days IN advance of the
race. This will give the drivers an
opportunity to test out their cars,
which they could not do at Dieppe, as
they were permitted to go on the
course in touring cars only prior to the
race lEnAAA.

NICK ALTRoCK's NARRATIVE.

NICK ALTROCK's NARRATIVE.
Nick Altrock, the comedian pitcher
of the White SoX club, and one of the
very best fellows in the game today
personally, related in his usual inimit-
able style an experience that he and
Jiggs Donahue, the first sacker of the
Sox, had when they were on their way
east. The way Nick gets the story
off is in the following manner:
When we was all coming back east"
started off Altrock, who cares not a
thing for grammar, and who no doubt
holds Lindley Murray and his work in
the utmost contempt, men Jiggs, Do

When 1 was a lad of IL 1 lived on a farm
in the settlements. The country was not
very thickly settled and the nearest farm
hous was twelve or thirteen miles away.
One day my father said to me: I'VE are

OF course I would not refuse, so l got
my pony ready and started. l rode for
quite a distance without any accident. But
when 1 had gone a little farther l heard
a shout and my pony stopped with a sud
den jerk which nearly sent me over the
saddle horn.
Looking ahead of me I saw a band of
Indians. They started after me. So turning
my pony around 1 galloped off at the
greatest rate of speed 1 had ever gone in
my life,
The Indians were gaining fast upon mo
when 1 reached my fathers farm. I
jumped off my pony and put him in the
barn and ran and told father about my
ride Just as the Indians came VI. My
father shot at them and killed most of
them.

North Twenty-fourth Street. South

Once there was a little boy whose name
was Harry. His brother was going ice
skating and he wanted to go with him and
watch. Harry's mother did not want hipa
to go, but he begged so hard that finally
she consented. Harry went and sat on tho
bank and watched them skate for awhile
He soon became tired and walked out Il
the edge of the ice and went over by &
place that was marked danger. Taking &
stick Harry poked at the broken -pieceS
Of ice in the water.
Some big boys told him not to go meas
there, but Harry kept going farther until
he got to the very edge Of the fee.
The ice broke and he fell in. Harry clunH
to the broken ice until his brother came
and got him out. He was taken home, ana
put TO bed.
The next day Harry had a very bad colo
and had to stay in the house all day. He
longed to go out and play with the otheA
children, but his mother would not let him
Harry was glad when he could go out, but
he never wanted to go and watch HID
brother skate again.
