Letter to County
Commissioned Koertf.
Sinner, Texas.

Dear Sir; A certain paint
advertised WAL
dorf- Astoria painted throughout
with my paint A part of the
basement was so painted; not sat-
isfactory; painted Devoe next
time.
There's a certain paint, big
concern, very proud and ambit-
ious; that hated TO see so big a
job of another paint, so IL went
for that business.
That former paint was about
two-thirds not paint, but this
proud and ambitious paint was
only about one-third not paint.
1t succeeded in getting a trial; 25
gallons, s kits Of 5 gallons each.
! When the painter had used one
kit, he called the managers not
satisfactory; 4 of the kits return
ed. A paint, ope-third not paint,
is not good enough to displaoe
Devoe.
This was several years ago.
That proud and ambitious paint
is better now; it is nearerhonesti
it isn't shortmeasure at all and
only Is per cent adulterated. 1t
is 9. pretty.good paint now; IS or
IA gallons Of it goes as far as 10
of Devoe. ~
Judge I. D. Fairchild owns two
houses alike in Lufkin, Texas.
J. NJ. florence painted both
houses, one Devoe, and the other
with that proud and ambitious
adulterated- 15-per-cent paint. 1t
took Is 1-2 gallons Devoe and 25
gallons Of the proud and ambi-
ticus paint.
1t takes pretty-good paint to
disturb Deyoe,

In looking over the claims al
lowed by the Commissioners
court Of Colorado county, in the
Weimar Mercury, we found sew
eral that would sound quite un.
usual to be found among the
claims of Lavaca County, viz;
the sum of S2so.0o allowed for
overalls and coats. The sum Of
S25oO0 allowed for transcribing
five tax rolls and the sum of Sa15
paid to the Colorado Citizen for
printing and stationery. This
latter item would be sufficient, to
support the editor of tHfs psper

HAS TOUGH CONTRACT
Papke Will Have Trouble With
Burke Tonight.

NEW YORK, July 27.-SaiIor Burke has
his work cut out for him tonight For
many long months this sailor person has
blared forth challenges to all sorts and
conditions of fighters with the result that
a natural middleweight has drawn a mot
ley crew Of opponents, many of whom
were twice his size.
Tonight at Billy Elmer's Coliseum A. C..
In Suffers Harlem River Casino Burke
will draw a man Of his own size. Incl
dentally. the prize in question is about
the toughest proposition. barring Stanley
ketchell. who won a decision over him at
Milwaukee, that the ring has known in
many years. Billy Papke is to be Burke S
opponent And Papke's sobriquet in fis-
tiana is the Illinois Thunderbolt. a title
earned because he fights like a demon
from gong to gong.
Papke is not the cleverest fighter in the
world. Neither is Burke. Lovers of a
purely scientific encounter may be disap-
pointed. But the chap who cares for ac-
ton and bulldog determination should
get his moneys worth. Papke has won
his spurs He is all there all the time and
seldom allows his man to stay the limit.
Strong. good puncher and game to the
core, he has gained a great following.
No one doubts Burkes gameness
Whether he has the experience and ability
to cope with the Thunderbolt is an open
question. The Sailor thinks he has. and
his manager, Billy Madden, is sure Of it.
To Burke's credit it may be said that he
never went looking for easy game. If he
takes the confidence he processes to have
into the ring with him and makes stand
up fight Of 1t. Mr.. William Papke of the
Sucker state will have his hands full.
Any way one looks at it. the bout has
the right smack and should furnish i,s-
tory worthy Of place in the pugilstic
dope books.

RACING AT SARATOGA
SPORT TO BE FIRST-CLASS AND
THE PEOPLE WANT 1T.

Wednesday will see the wind-up Of the
Brighton meeting and then will come
shift to Saratoga for session of fifteen
days. This change in the racing program
will be awaited with much interest by
persons identified with the turf. The
fashionable summer resort wants racing.
There can be no doubt Of that. Without
the coming meeting. the resort would not
be the liveliest place in the world, by
any means. 1t is said that the hundreds
of persons who will go to the races will
save the hotels and business concerns
from financial loss. There appears to be
no doubt that the meeting will be lib
orally patronized. All of the big men of
the turf world will be there and they will
race their crack thoroughbreds. too. The
stakes will attract much attention, and
some fine sport will doubtless be seen.
From betting point of view. 1t is said
the Saratoga county officials will enforce
the AgnewHart law so far as open book
making and gambling are concerned. but
the report was In circulation last week
that no attempt would be made to check
oral and memory speculation. This
means, II true. that there will be plenty of
credit betting and that it will be carried
now prevail at Brighton Beach.
The features for next Thursday are the
Flash stakes for twO-year-oldS and the
Saratoga handicap.
Saturdays features are the Shillelah
steeplechase. the United States Hotel
stakes and the Catskill handicap.
The Spinaway stakes for two-year-Old
FLIES will be run Wednesday. August 5.
All through the meeting many impor-
tant stakes will be run off.

THIS AND THAT

The weather is reported clear in St.
Louis today. Let US hope the Nationals
will have fair sailing and put crimp
in the Browns.
It must have been awful Mabel Satur
day in Detroit. when Elberfeld had to sue
coed Chesbro with Chase. Ii he don't look
out, Chase will be managing the team.
CIV Falkenberg had another one Of those
bad innings at Cleveland Saturday, with
the result that his first game for the Maps
was chalked up in the lost column.
McGraw must have been a very busy
man Saturday trying to keep the grounds
clear so his team could make showing
against the Pirates. The result of the
game would indicate that the team would
have been better OF II the crowd had run
wild.
Elberfeld has not given the umpires any
trouble since he became manager of the
Highlanders. He has troubles of his own,
sure enough, and it is hard to see why he
doesn't pass little along to the umpires
or to a policeman.
One of the things we are looking for
ward to this fall Is the tussle between
Mike Donlin and Ty Cobb in the world s
series to see which will make the more
base hits.-New York Sun. This locks
something like counting the chickens be-
Fred Clarke Of the Pittsburg team says
that he used to think a 10000 crowd at a
game was large. Now he says 10000 is
common and that he wouldn't be surprised
to see $4,000 at game. Owner Dreyfuss
should therefore open negotiations for the
London stadium and move 1t over to the
smoky city.
There never has been a time in the his
tors of base ball when the various clubs
of tho two Dig leagues were so hot after
play ers Everybody wants likely ma
price for it. EaNh team wants to hold
on to the players it has. but the fans will
not be surprised If some more trades are
pulled of in the very near future.
Thielman the Cleveland pitcher recently
purchased by the Red Sox. is holding out,
as he believes that the Maps owe him
something in back pay. Whether Thiel-
man will report to Manager Mcguire Is
not known. and the latter will not say

to have the hardest head in base ball.
It il related that the big fellow was hit

ago and that the force of the contact

made John dizzy.
II is said that Clark Griffith recently
turned down an offer to succeed McClos-
key Griff was a wise old owl for doing
that This is one town where a manager
gets his bumps good and proper. Grifflth's
experiences in New York would fade into
insigniflcance If he took McCloskey's job.
He would have to win a big bunch OF
games or else go the way Pat Donovan
and Charley Nichols did. and as McClos-
