trousers were smeared to the thigh
with Shiny mud but as he approached
the dropping brim of his palm-leaf hat
failed to hide his exultant expression.

"How's that" asked Winthrope.

forward. "Sling on your hats and get

REVOLT AGAINST LYNCH
All Hut One of Men Who Placed Him
at Head of National League
Turn Thumbs Down.

New York. Oct. s.-The very men who
elevated President Lynch TO his present
position as head or the National league
are now accused of plotting his down
fall With the exception of President
Brush or the Giants. they are all
charged with being in league TO un-
horse the National league executive.
Although Brush has been A trouble
maker all his life. he has been loyal 10
flee. But the others, Ebbets, Fogel and
Murphy, who fought the candidacy Of
Heydler and voted for Lynch. have de-
serted, and deserted for no other rea-
son than that they have been unable
TO handle their man" when elected.
President Lynch announced that his
policy would be the square deal. All
men would look alike 10 him.
The National league is an organiZa-
ton OF discordant elements. BY being
fair 10 one and all he hoped TO unity
the warning cliques. President Lynch
has satisfied the clubs that favored
Boston. and by being decent TO them he
has lost his original supporters.
The fact that some OF his umpireS
have been failures Is seized as an eX-
cuSe for opposing him. The umpires
were an Inheritance of the previous ad
ministratiOn, and President Lynch has
been quoted as saying that he intended
10 weed out the Incompetent and
strengthen with new material, but this
cannot be accomplished in day. De-
spite the antagonisms of his former
that they can dethrone him. II is felt
that Brush Will remain loyal and his
vote Will be sufficient 10 defeat any
dark schemes.

Chicago, Oct. s.-When the qualifying
rounds of the woman's golf national
championship contest. TO be held at
Homewood tomorrow, the entrants Will
face the possibility of winning the
championship without getting the tro-
ply cup. The cup has disappeared and

club.
The cup was shipped from North
Berwyn, Scotland, on the steamer Cali
fOrnia. 1t has not yet arrived at the
HOmswOOd club and Miss Campbell and
officials OF the club were unable to find
it by sending tracers. One OF the stipu
lations under which the cup is awarded
a winner is that it should be returned
TO the club in time for the next contest.
Miss Campbell returned TO America
six months ago, after arranging that
the cup should be shipped here in time
for the national event. She was nOti-
fled from Scotland that the cup had

OCC|DENTALS WIN
EUREKA SERIES
In the Game All the Time and
0utClaSS the Miners;
Langf0rd in Form.

The Occidentals were out TO win
yesterday and Eureka met defeat in
The final and deciding game OF the
series by the score OF 10 to 2. The
work OF Ad Langford. the Occidentars
pitcher, was about the best all around
Bit OF individual ball playing seen this
year. His record shows one hit and
ore run. three putouts and seven as
sists without an error. His catch OF
SGtherland's foul in the seventh in
ming was the best ever seen from the
pitchers box on a local diamond. The
bail was a high one and Langford,
ed 10 within ten feet OF the east grand
stand and held on to the ball. Com
ing as the third out, when the bases
were full, made the catch the more
spectacular.
Four scattered hits were all that the
miners could gather off Langford and
at no time did they look dangerous.
In fielding they were sent up in the
air a mile high when the Oecidentais
ran bases as they should be run and
the Miners Outfielders in holding on
10 the ball allowed al least three ex-
ira bases.
Eureka scored one in the first. but
the Occidentals came back with three,
ana moved right along, never leaving
the issue in doubt.
The Occidentals played fast ball and
had plenty of ginger. A crowd of close
TO 1000 fans watched the final game
of the season.
While thirteen hits were obtained
from Williams delivery, some OF them
would have been cut down by good
fielding, and on the whole his slab
work was good.

take 10 the shooting grounds within
two weeks at the outside. Reports
from all shooting grounds say that the
duck maladY is fast disappearing. and

From the Bear river country espe-
cially are the reports encouraging. and
by November ] at the fastest. shooting

Those who have waited to see what
