the actions of these fans did they re- ceive enough money for their salabie material. But therein lies the hitch.
 Big league magnates will not pay the enormous prices which you'd De surely set on likely men at tsos time of the year. They will gladly stand for 2 slight imitation of values, but there's a limit to everything. More over. there's too much of a chance connected with the payment of bf,S sums. Rube Marquard cost the Giants somewhere about $11,000. The cleve- land boy has been with McGraw two full seasons now and has not yet shown that the rsking of such big amount on him has been justified. Comiskey paid well up in the thou sands for Russell Blackburne, but the wonder of Providence has proved a mediocre performer at Chicago. Cleeei land or any other Ameican league club would not overlook a chance to get Josh Clarke Tom Raftery or Davy Altizer, but how is tae thing going to be accomplished except at the risk or entirely too much money? These men will be .'rocurable at the close of their A. A. season for much more modest sums, but right now, at a time when they are most needed, they can't be secured.
 The above is evidence that the fan plays very big part in this game of baseball. Rightly greedy, he consid- CTS the good players his property in q way. and will not remove himself from the latter's patch of advancement until what he believes the proper time comes. Consequently the big league scouts have to hie themselves to un- known regions. where the followers of baseball deem 1t an honoF to have their players signed by the majors. And in these spots of the country the scouts are doing very well.

Heat Dash System Unsatisfactory.

The heat dash system of harness racing is dying a slow death, sabut a sure one, and the unsatisfactory out come of the 5000 Ohio purse for. 2.14 trotters at Cleveland last week should put another nail in it's ceffin. In this race Dudie Archdale won two heats in 2.06 1-2 and 207, after which Billy third in 2.06 3-4. Then the race was declared finished under the rules gov erning the heat dash system, though to most horemen it had only just be- gun or else was all over when Dudie Archdale outtrotted all competitors twice in succession. Whether it is bes two in three, three in five or sev- en in eleven, the average horseman wants to see a flight to a finish.

THREE THOUSAND FIGHT FANS
 DISAPPOINTED AT NEW YORK.
Acting Mayor Mitchell Refused to Allow Al Kaufman and Bill Lang to Meet

New York. Aug. 16.-Three thousand fight fans who had assembled at the Fairmont Athletic club here to see Al Kaufman and Bill Lang, the pig Aus tralian, fight ten rounds were disap- pointed tonight when the club manage ment announced that the bout was off. John Purroy Mitchell. the young pres
 dent of the board of aldermen, who is acting as mayor during Mayor Gay nor's illness, had notified the club that he would not permit the fight to be held. The police had surrounded the place and although four preliminaries were held unmolested the orders from the acting mayor were so strict that the main contest was abandoned
 Kaufman was already stripped for battle and was in the ring when the announc ement was made. Lang stood near him garbed in bathrobe. Not withstanding its disappointment. the big crowd was good natured and whHe there were few hoots and boots, filed out in orderly manner. Announcement had previously been made that all the money paid for seats would be refund ed. Spectators had come from Phila- delphia. Boston and Baltimore to see the bout and in the crowd were seen the faces of Jim Corbett, Kid Mccoy Philadelphia Jack O'Brien, Charles White. the referee, and others.

BASEBALL MARKET IS WEAK.
Poor Year for Young Piayers-Scouts
 Looking in Small Circuits.

Probably few seasons have been as unproductive of good young players as the one through which we are now passing. Scouts have been using fine combs on all the high grass leag gues and in the semi professional but their discoveries of men appraised as good enough for the majors have been at minimum. says the Philadelphia Ledger. Scouts are not paying much attention to the Class leagues, be- cause many of the players in these or ganiZations are has beens' who could not again caDer up to the big league pace And so they are devoting most of their attention to leagues of lower rank, though with little success.
 There is more of a chance of ob- taining valuable material in towns where the only calcium light of fame or note is the blazing sun. the advance men figure. They realize that in the American association and Eastern league are 10 be found basebaliers ca pablo of holding up their end in the majors, but one big problem prevents their migration to the ranks of good salaries and good baseball. That prob lem is the fans" The Class A leagues as becomes organizations of smaller invested capital, have to cater to the box office more than do the majors They have to keep more in touch with CTS of their ball clubs. What would St. Paul fans say to the sale of Mur- ray, the clubs leading sticker and all- around valuable man, now that St Paul has a. chance for the pennant? ? They would say pIenteous things about mismanagement and greed of gold: and would end up by staying away from the ball park Let thousand of them do this and the club treas ury would contain a medium sized dent. Of course St Paul or any other of the four clubs possessing players of caliber wouldn't have to worry about

NEW HAVEN BALL PLAYER
 ATTEMPTS SUICIDE.
Thomas Leahy, Well Known in This State, and Formerly Catcher for St. Louis Nationals, Cuts His Throat.

New Haven, Conn, Aug. 1S.-Thom- as Leahy, a ball player well known in the state and a former member of the St. Louis Nationals, attempted suicide at his home on Summer street tonight by cutting his throat with a razor He succeeded in cutting the jugular vein. but was found in time to stop the flow of blood and was taken to a local hos pitaI, where his recovery is assured.
 Leahy caught for two years for the St. Louis Nationals. going from there to Indianapolis of the American asso- citation, playing through one season and part of a second, when he was obliged to quit on account of an in jury to a leg. From Indianapolis he went to the Minneapolis team of the same league. but his injured leg pre- vented his playing. Last year he start ed the season with the New Britain team of the Connecticut State league but again his injury prevented his con- tinuing. The first of the present sea- son he played first base for New Ha- ven. but could not continue on account of his injury. and was appointed an umpire. which position he held until released. During the winter he was referee in the National Roller Polo league. Despondsncy over his enforc- ed retirement from the ball field is supposed to have led him to make the attempt on his life.

 Manager Farrell of the Hospital team was elected official scorer, talk ing the place of Joseph P. Desm ond, whose other duties are too pressing to allow him to continue in this position.
 The addition of the strong Hospital team to the league will undoubtedly prove a strong factor in it's success, the directors believe.

 port for July, which showed another excess of imports over exports, a re- duction in the dividend on the pre- ferred stock of the United States Cast Iron Pipe com pany and the filing of a petition in bankruptcy against one of the smaller southern. iron companies. On the other hand, marked improve ment was reported in the general tex tile situation, and much of the days news respecting crops was at least favorable.
 On the stock exchange sentiment was more cheerful, traders taking the ground that the immediate outlook seems conducive to a better market. The opinion, however was almost wholly negative in character, being founded largely on the belief that many contingencies have already been discounted by the present price levels and that stocks are no longer being pressed for sale There appears to be a more active demand for the bettsr grade of bonds, and the tone of that market offers more encouragement than for a long time past.
 In the late session the market be- came more brisk and a generally higher level of prices was recorded. This advantage was almost fully main tained to the close, which was active and strong. In some quarters there was a disposition to attribute the ir crea sed strength of the market to the rejection of Col Roosevelt's name for the temporary chairmanship of the republican state convention, but this view was not seriously accepted in conservative circles.
 London was again a seller here at the outset, but bought moderately in the late session.
