ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Oct. 2.-George Ed
ward Waddell, hero of diamond con
f1icts, divorce proceedings, melodrama
and CONGREGATIONS, has graduated from
the wild and woolly after his ascent to
the water wagon, and now appears in
st. Louis as a disciple of the gentle

As a result of his skill In first aid
to the injured treatment, Detective
John Finan was able to report for duty
yesterday, while Edward Burnett, of
Louisville, Ky, Is able to sit up after
receiving a terrible beating last night.
The great southpaw attended a melo-
drama Wednesday night, and the play
was sufficiently imbued with thrills to
cause the Rube to be interested as well
as brave.
Leaving the theatre, he reached the
corner of Sixth and Chestnut streets.
Directly across the street he saw the
police in desperate combat with a
prisoner and stepped in and quieted
things.

Yesterday afternoon the racing COM
mittee having charge of THE EVE

STAR CARD Is BOOKED
AT NEWARK VELODROME.

With an Australian pursuit race and
an unknown distance open event,
cycling fans who go to the Newark
Velodrome race-meet Sunday afternoon
will find something new to claim THEFT
attention. The change from the usual
style of open and handicap events will
add spice to the affair and some ex-
cellent sport is anticipated. The track
management has framed up a card
which s~parkles with good things and
the variety offered is one of its best
recommendations to popularity.
The match Australian pursuit contest
with Floyd MacFTarland and Norman
Anderson as opponents is the piece de
resistance of the program. The event
will serve to introduce Mac" to New
ark JAMS for the season. The lanky
Californian has been riding SO well that
many pick him to win, but then the
wise fans who have seen Anderson here
all season think that the Danes
chances are the best. However. 1t is
admitted on all sides that the race will
be a corker.
National Champion Frank L. Kramer
will compete In two events, the ne
mile handicap and the unknown dis
lance affair. The group of pros" for
these two races will number about
thirty-fve, including the Western con-
tingent, who Will continue their cam
paign against the Eastern riders for
honor and prize money There will
also be an invitation affair for those
shut out of the money in the other
races, and to this will be added three
amateur contests, the best of which will
be a ten-mile open.

BARRY TO PLAY
FIRST BASE FOR
YANKS NEXT YEAR

BOSTON, Oct. 2.-Daniel A. Barry,
the well-known East Boston baseball
player, has been signed to play first
base with the New York American
League team next year. Barry has
been sought by a number of the teams
Of the major leagues and has turned all
their offers down, but yesterday Arthur
Irwin, the Yankee scout, secured his
signature to a two-year contract. They
want him to finish out h present sea-
son with them, but he prefers to stay at
home and report for the spring practise
in the South next year.
Barry Is we'll known to the local
baseball fans, and is considered a
c~rackajack first sacker. Dan, as he is
better known to his friends, was born
In East Boston twenty years ago and
has always resided there. He was
graduated from the Assumption Gram
mar School, on which team he played
his first game of baseball. He then
played on the Playfair and Central
teams, the latter of which held the
amateur championship of the State for
three consecutive years.

Out-of- Town Mines Seem to
Have Made Best Showing
This Season.
BY EDWARD p. DUFFY.

Now that the season is nearing It's
end, it would not be out of order to try
to determine which sections of this ter
ritory produced the best team.
It seems to me, all things considered,
that the suburbs have produced the
best. Such teams as Bloomfield, Cald-
well, Montclair and the Lhewellyns can
more than hold their ends uIp with n
of them.
It must not be forgotten, however,
that we have some mighty good teams
in the city. In the series they have
had with the suburban teams and lost,
1t must be remembered that the, subur-
ban a~ggregations had the advantage
of playing on their home grounds for all
the games. That means a whole lot.

Bloomfield a good rub If a game were
played on Sunday morning on the West
Side Oval. How would a suburban and
city league gog I mean two leagues,
one in the suburbs and n in the city.

IKE IKE WEIR, FIRST MAN TO
DEFEAT JACK DEMPSEY

Dempsey's class contained nothing that
could drag the Dempsey colors in the
dust.
Several Boston clubmen heard that
the Belfast Spider" that is what Weir
was called, knew something about the
game of hit and guard. The Spider"
needed money and he was matched to
meet Dempsey. The Spider" was an
awkward boxer and those who had
followed Dempsey knew that jock had
enough science to protect himself
against the bull-like rushes of the
Cockney. But the unexpected hap
pened. The men met and the history
has often been told. Before Dempsey had
really set himself to fight, Weir made a
lungs at him, missed and Dempsey was
following this mistake of the Spiders
up, when suddenly Weir turned In his
tracks and with a back-hand blow
caught Dempsey on the chin and the
great middleweight fell unconscious and

The fighting world sat UP amazed
The blow was named the pivot blow"
and Ike Weir was the inventor. Ike
Weir's name for a time was plastered
on every show house, n he was a
money-maker. Dempsey got his re-
venge from him later and then the
Spider" was a dead one, but not before
he had made many a dollar. He was
not of the saving kind, and the wine
and white lights held his attention.
One night while the cold back bay
Boston winds were cutting their way
through the Boston streets, n of the
police station doors opened and a fellow
huddled up in flimsy clothing entered
and asked for a nights lodging. The
police lieutenant recognized In the
shrunken frame the one famous

GREAT THR0NG
SEES RACES At
TRENTON FAIR

TRENTON. Oct. 2.-The big Thursday"
promised by the management of the Inter-
State Fair arrived all right, and the way
the people piled through the turnstiles
made it look as If they had gone race crazy,
as there was an attendance estimated at
5000. The day was ideal for the sport, not
too hot or too cold, but ~he track was a
wreck, and a man would have to travel
many miles to locate n worse one, which
accounts for tue slow time.
The first event called was the unfinished
2:21 trot OF Wednesday. Ella c., the hoppled
~trotter, aud Reddy each had two heats in,
the latter winning the final heat today.
Florence c.. the Newark mare, carried her
field to the quarter in S3A seconds, but had
to give up the tight right there. She landed
fourth money.

high-class entries; ). ~, won me

although Ella Ambulator won In straight
heats. Ethan Roberts and Baron Whips
kept her playing the game all the while,
and the time, considering the conuitlon or
the track, was excellent,
The fourth race, the 2:l5 trot.. was unfin-
ished, Tom Sharkey's brown gelding klon-
dyke winning the first TWO heats and John

known to Newark racegoers, capturing the
last two. This will be the first class called

Belfast Spider, Inventor OF Pivot
Blow, Died in Obscurity,
Forgotten by Friends.
BY [ SPORT.

How time defaces all things! Even
the brightest spot in mans memory Is
apt to be wiped out before we realize
1t. This is peculiarly true about men
who have gained worldwide fame for
having beer something out of the ordi-
nary. Here the other day, In the city
of Boston there passed away a man in
middle life and the papers which chfon-
sicled his passing did it with three or
four lines. Ike Weir, the pugiIist, died
at his home and leaves a widow to
mourn his loss. This much told of he
mans death. Only a few years ago If
this man donned his fighting toggery to
meet an exponent these same paper
teemed WITH words of praise and told
of his prowess. Then he was Ike
O'Neil Weir and known as the first mar
to ever make Jack Dempsey feel the
sting of defeat in q prize ring. III one
night Ike Weir jumped from the back
row of pugilism into the top seat OF
fame. He was hailed for what he had
done to one of the greatest pugflists
who ever donned a fighting glove. For
years this fight caused him to be a
money-getter. To be sure, his victory
over the Nonpareil was of the merest
chance order, YET it vas a victory, and
1t brought him money and a name.
1t was this nan Weir who broke
Dempsey's heart. 1t caused the great
fighters ultimate downfall, and when
Dempsey died they said that his heart
was broken. And they should have
added, Ike O'Neil Weir Is the ma who
caused the first fracture. Weir was n
young man when he landed from the

Entire Nous five last night. and Lamb was
so badly hurt that several stitches had to

well surrounded after the game. The game
ended In a win for the home team by n
