compelled to give up friends and
homes in search of life by living in the
Colorado climate. Mr.. Edmunds said
it cost $S5 per month to keep each
man and their charges had beer fixed
at $2S, SO they were compelled to
ask aid from those who were blessed
with -ound bodies. He said the move

they pushing the enterprise, this being
unnecessary as they had fifty per cent
more than they could accommodate,

They strongly protest against

Individuals and city associations such
as Keokuk, Muscatine, Denver and

dutch" Kinney of Brent
woods Leads With Willow.
Marceron Runner-Up.

Dutch Kinney, the nifty little infielder.
is at present leading the bunch of slug
gers in the Capital City League. Dutch,
who plays second base for the Brentwood
nine, has participated in eleven games.
been at the bat thirty-three times, made
sixteen hits and has an average of .4S5.
The real leader is Billy Marceron Of the
same aggregation, but owing to the small
number of contests in which he has
played the honors must go to Kinney.
Marceron, who lately joined Manager
Cornel's husky tribe of ball tossers. is
promising youugster. He stands well
at the plate and clouts with terrific
force, and there is no doubt he will be
among the leaders at the close of the
present season. The left fielder has
worked in five battles, been at the bat
sixteen times and has hit the sphere into
safe territory ten different times. giving
him the nice large percentage Of .625.
At the last publication OF the Capital
City averages, which were printed ex-
clusively in The Star, Amey of the Ma
rines was leading the league at .421 clip
for eight games.
Clown Haywood is the circuit trotter
He has touched all four sacks nineteen
times in eighteen skirmishes. This chief

Leaders Take a Tumble.
One Of the largest crowds Of the season
saw the ST. Paul Methodist aggregation
trim the Bethany Baptist crew in the
Sunday School League yesterday. The
game was a brilliant one and was not de-
cided until Sheaffer. the final man to bat
for Bethany in the seventh inning. was
retired on a grounder to Beal at first.
The score was to 6.
Palmer started the work in the center
OF the diamond for the Methodist squad.
but because of his wildness was taken
out in the first inning after three runs
had been scored with one man out. He
gave three passes to the initial sack, hit
one batter and made costly wild heave
Meeks replaced the boy with golden hair
and twirled a creditable game. He went
in in the first session with man on
third and one down and famed the fol-
lowing two batters. He was hit safeiy
but six times. and by steadiness and good
headwork drew his team out OF several
tight places.
Taggart started the pitching for Man
ager Stokes boys, and got along pretty
well for the first four innings. but In the
fifth the first four batters got on base
and three runs resulted. Wooden went In
at this stage and retired the side, allow
ing but one run. Litchfield followed
Wooden. and, as usual. pitched steady
game. He allowed but one hit In the two
inningA and this came In the sevenlh
with two down.
Bethany made q hard bid for the con-
test in the sixth and seventh innings. In
the sixth they scored two on singles by
Sheaffer and Taylor. an infield out and
an error. In the following inning Spaul-
ding led off with a two-base hit. Dodd
hit to Coleman and the latter made a
mess of the grounder. Spaulding at
tempted to score on the misplay, but
Kerper. who umpired in the absence of
Hughes. called the shortstop out on
play that looked from where the scorer sat
to be safe. Menefee followed with an in
field out and Dodd took second. Dugan
hit to Slack, and the third baseman threw
wild to first. Dodd tailed with Bethany
sixth run. pugan stole second and
Sheaffer. the next batter, in hard at
tempt to get THE ball to the outfield,
grounded out to first.
Davis prevented two runs from scoring
in the fourth inning when he speared
Meeks line drive between first and sec
cond. making the final out. Menefee
caught his usual good game. and the
playing Of Beall and Taylor, first base
men, was good.

RACING PLANS FOR 1e11-1e.
Coney Island Governors Will Offer
Rich Prizes.


NEW YORK. July 17.-Racing plans for
1911 and 1912 were started recently. when
it was announced by the governors of
the Coney Island Jockey Club that the
Futurity. Lawerence Realization and
Great Filly stakes would be run in 1911
and the Futurity and Lawrence Realiza
ton IN 1912. Entries for all the races
will be received and there is no doubt
about their being decided.
AS the Futurity is the best and richest
race Of the American turf for two-year
olds, SO the Lawrence Realization Is the
finest contest Of the year for three-year-
olds. The cleverly drawn conditions OF
both events do not overburden the best
horse Of the year in his class, and the dis
tances Of both afford ample opportunity
for stamina as well as speed to tell.
Though no announcement was made as
to the amount the association will add to
the big races. 1t Is hardly likely the club
will contract for the $4,000 that was
given at large expense last year, and
which will be given this season.
