Fighter win Give odds on rhe Contest.
 Pittsburg, Aug. 30.-So confident is Ad Wollgast that he will win by a knockout in his six round bout with Harlem Tommy" Murphy on Wednes- day night that today the. diminutive fighter was willing to give odds on the outcome of the battle.
 Harlem Tommy Murphy. who is in training at the Oakland Athletic Club. is quietly taking all the loose T. oney put up by Wolgast admirers Dt any figure he can get.
 Wolgast last night offered to meet Abe Attel at 122 pounds, three hours before the fight. Freddie Welsh at 133, ringside, or Packey Mcfarland at 13S three hours before the fight. This is considered the most elastic conditions laid down by any. little man since the days of George Dixon, when that col- ored fighter took on all welterwsiyhts.

A FEW FOUL TIPS

First division.
 Thanks, Mir. stcckdale.
 At last the Crackers were stopped and by the Turtles in twelve innings at that.
 That Augusta outfit by taking a brace of games from Columbia leads the Sally League again by narrow margin, Macon and Knoxville tieing for fifth place.
 Looks like a fight to a finish in the American Association, Milwaukee and McGlynn won again for the Brewers and what McClosky would do without the Iron Man is dreadful to think of.
 IuuI frightened up in the fifth, with Wheat on third and Stock on second and only one down he struck Cocash out and let Bernie McCay down on foul to shannon.
 Looked kinder squally in the last of the ninth. With one gone, Watson walked and was sacrificed by Wheat, making two out. Ludwig hit safe and Wheat got to third. Woodie Thornton was then sent in to hit for Stock, but a fly to Daily was his best effort-and Higgins fans were gla dto see that Juul had the clean shutout.
 Rockenfield came home yesterday morning, as there are only four more games on this trip. the rest will do him lots of good and he will be able to get Into the double header against Little Rock next Monday.
 An even break was the best that inc Cubs could do to the Giants yes- terday while the Pirates are going on serenely winning.
 These next two games in Mobile will help lots and then for the Pelicans Sat- urdey and Sunday, Thursday and Fri day being off days.

HONEST NAME IN ANY TONGUE.
Various Rsnderinss Of the Good Old
 AppeIiation, ~John Smith,"

John smith-plain John Smith-is not very high sounding; it does not suggest aristocrxcy; 1t is not the name of any hero in die-away novels: and yet 1t is good. strong and honest. Transferred to other languages, it seems to climb the ladder of respecta- bility. Thus. in Latin. it is Johannes Smithus: the Italian smooths it of into Giovanni Smithi; the Spaniards render 1t Juan Smithus: the Dutch man adopts it as Hans Schmidt, the French fiatten 1t out into Jean Sheet. and the Russian sneezes and barks 'onloff Smithtowsk. When John Smith gets into the tea trade in Can ton he becomes Jovan Shimpit; if he chambers above Mount Hecla the Ice flanders say he is Jahne Smithson; if he trades among the Tuscaroras he becomes Ton ca Smittia: in Poland he is known as Ivan Schmittiweiski: 1: should he wander among the Welsh mountains they talk of Jihon Schmidd; {; when he goes to Mexico he Is hooked as Jontil FSmitti: if of classic turn he fingers among Greek ruins he turns to Ion Smikton. and in Turkey he is utterly disguised as Yoe Seef

 That owing to bread and provis- ions being tossed from the trains go ing over the bridge crossings an arm of the Salton sea near Yuma fish in great schools have been attracted there and rise to the surface at each passing train.
 That said fish. from constantly being fed at said passage of trains. have become accustomed to raise 70 blow upon nearing said bridge.
 That certain malicious, brutal and unsportsnanlike persons, hailine from the City of Phoenix. have re- gently gene to said bridge and by us ing certain contrivonces by which they initiate the sound of said steam engine whistles have summoned said intelligent sh to the surface of the water and then seized them with bare hands-thus producing great catches of which they are boastin gmucb.
 Wherefore, be it resolved. that said cruel deceit on these intelligent fish be heartily condemned by the sportsmen of Tucson, and those per sons therein by name mentioned 10 pray that all good citizens join in a protest and prayer against a practice which bids fair to result in the ex- termination of race of fish whose intellectual qualities have redounded to the fame of Arizona"

DUCATD FISH PUZZLE
 SALTON SEA FISHERMEN

PHOENIX. Aug. 9.--If some scient- .st will explain to Under Sheriff c. B. Woods why the fish in the Salton sea know enough to all follow the train when it crosses the inland sea over a bridge at one point, Woods will be much obliged for the informa- ton.
 Woods is not so much surprised that the fish know enough to be there when the train crosses ana scramble for meat and bread scraps thrown to them as would a crowd of small boys for nickels as he Is that they all travel in the water the same direction as the train on the bridge.
 Woods states that the heaviest rains in four years fell in the yicin- icy of the Salton sea last Wednesday and Thursday. The result was that the Southern Pacific tracks were wash ed out in IF places in a stretch of three miles.
 For nearly twenty hours three over land passenger trains were held up on each side of the washouts. Four repair trains were rushed to the scene to work night and day. Woods was on train caught at Frink, a side track between Imperial and Iu- dio. After they reached Frink and were halted. The track washed out the educated actions of the Salton behind them.
 Anent Woods wonderment about sea fish. the following good-natured thrust comes direct from Tucson .n the form of an affidavit, properly at

 | TO BOOST THE FAIR
TRAVELLING MAN WORKING FOR BAsEeALL LEAGUE TAKEN
 FROM ANTLEREp HERD.

DOUGLAS. Aug. 9.--(Special.)-
 C. K. Pishon. of Phoen.x, on the road for the Los Angeles dry goods house of Cooper, Coats q Casey, is in town today, at the Gadsden.
 MT. Pishon Is both an Elk and a baseball enthusiast, and one of the projects in which he Is interested is the creation of league of baseball clubs representing every city in the territory, if poss. .ble, and composed exclusively of members of the order There are also others interested with him in tlle project. Their special aim is both to make such league . drawing card for the territory as Q whole and to make games between such clubs an interesting feature of the annual territorial fair. held at Phoenix. the dates for which are No vember S-I3 this year.
 Mir. P.shon states that Tucson all ready has a club of this kind. The formation of other clubs with such membership has been promised at Bisbee, Globe and Phoenix. and those most interested hope that one will soon be formed in Douglas. Mir. Pis- hos has concluded to defer an at tempt at the formation of club at this point this trip and to take it up later. In a way such league would soon become a great advertisement for the territory. it is thought.
 The folk interested in baseball and other things. also have another pro5- ect that is of interest to the entire territory, as we'll as locally to Phoe- nix. and that Is the stabl.shmenf over the United States of a reputa- ton for Arizona as nose desirable place for winter ball or spring prac- tee" In particular. they hope to have a series of games between the Chicago White Sox and the Vernons of Los Angeles, at Phoenix next spring. They base their hopes for general gain not alone on the rain- less winter climate. of Phoenix and the lack of sufficient park facilities for the crowd of ball playes who gather in Los Angeles during the win ter months, but upon a letter which MT. Pishon was showing yesterday, from Manager Hogan of the Vernon team of Los Angeles dated July 29th m which he expresses entire agree ableness to meeting other teams at Phoenix for aspring practice" neM spring. He makes 1t plain that the only question in the matter is as to the existence of guarantee for ey- penses and that MT. Pishon expresses himself as assured of. The only po,nt left uncovered is the willing ness of the White Sox, which will be secured if possible. for two series Of three games each while that club. d. yided as usual into two sections for the winter is on the way in its kite shaped courses simultaneously by the north and south routes between Chi cago and Los Angeles. one series at the opening of their tour ana the other at the close.
 The latest issue of the Arizona Ga zette of Phoenix says: Arizona fans will have an opportunity of seeing the Chicago White Sox next spring m a series of six games at Eastiake Park. Phoenix. when they VIII play the Vernon nine of Los Angeles.

DOUGLAS, Aug. 9.-tSpecialD-
 J. Paul Cobb, one of the new men in the Douglas baseball ,eam. whose principal aspiration in life just now is to have a standing in baseball busi- ness. Six feet tall, he doesn't look it; weighing 16O pounds. he doesn't look that ether. though no doubt his word is good in both cases. He is simply one of those young men who in phy- sioue is rather deceiving to the eye because he is all muscle, and that or a very firm quality. There is not an ounce of superfluous fat on him. and fin that way has a very good start TOT a good ball player. Moreover. he IS Of the intellectual type of ball player. and looks as though he might have as good a head for the game as ne nas a body.
 Though he is regarded by Manager ODonoyan as recidedly good mate rial. yet 1t seems to be true that he is not generally regarded in the pro fession as having thoroughly made good in his try-outs with the big teams lately, and there .s some doubt vet as to just what he will eventual. iy turn out to be as a player. He is but twenty years of age which $ 2 point in his favor perhaps and he doesn't think he has had really fa.I chance in h.s try-outs with the big teams this year One thing that car be said of him however Is that he can get a little personal matter bach in GeorEia settled up to his sat.sfac ton after this season is over and ge' his whole heart Into ball playing fol business purposes there doesn't seen to be any reason why he should no' make good in a way to delight tns hearts of managers Ills work VII certainly add interest to games il which Douglas cuts a figure
