pened that a friend Of Senator Cullom de-
sired TO become clerk Of the court. The
Senator introduced a bill in Washington to
separate the clerkships Of the two courts
This was passed. but the judges, since the
law was not mandatory. but merely enabled
them to employ two clerks instead OF one

Of 1t is one of the reasons for his no,
being able to pitch better ball. With
an exceptionally fast break on his fast
ball and fairly fast breaking curve, be-
sides good control. he should be one OF
the best amateur beavers In the coun-
try, but he is not, because he makes
too many balls good. To one watching
searching for the heart Of the plate. and
when pitcher does that, no matter what
he may have in his repertoire of curves
and fast ones. he is never a success.
There Is many q pitcher doing great
work in the minor league with far less
stuff than has Hummer.
Charley Moran's hitting is the only
thing that saved the Cornell Company
from a defeat Monday at the hands OF
the Aloysius club. With a man on first
and one on second in the fifth inning
he drove the ball over the left field fence
for a two-base lit, and again in the
sixth, with two down and the Paper
hangers one run behind and the same
men on the bags. he hit the ball within
two inches OF the top OF the boards,
sending the much-needed run across.

while he goes after certain balls in q

BOUT ENDS IN KNOCKOUT.
Sam Langford Finishes Jack O'Brien
in Five Rounds.

NEW YORK. August 16.-Jack OBrien
the Philadelphia light heavyweight, failed
in his attempt to come back. and was
knocked out by ehnegro Sam Langford
In the fifth round OF q ten-round bout al
the Twentieth Century Athletic Club last
night. For a minute in the first round
the willy Quaker city man showed a
flash OF his old-time form, but the crush
ing. grueling wallops of the terrible
Boston Tar Baby soon took away his
steam and slowed him down to a walk.
The end came after about a minutes
work in the fifth round. Bleeding. weak
and groggy, O'Brien came up for the in
evtiable. He tried to evade Langford
but in vain. Sam bored in. He put a
light left on the head, and as O'Brien
tried to lead his right he flashed in with
terrific smashing left on the chin.
Down crashed O'Brien and he rolled
partly through the ropes. He tried to
crawl back, and when at the count OF
nine, eh rose, Charley White, the referee
stopped the unequal battle and sent Lang
ford to his corner
O'Brien was nervous at the start while
Langford was as cool as ice. The negro
ofiored his opponent with a left on the
head in the first round, but Jack got
right up. As Sam drove a hard right to
the stomach the Quaker city athlete
gasped and hung on desperately. Lang
ford drew blood from the nose in the
second round and battered his man about
with heavy wallops to the face and body
Jack was holding on with might and
main at the bell and staggered to his
corner.
Weak and fat-footed. OBrien took up
his hopeless task in the third round. He
was bleeding severely from the mouth
and nose. and as he started a left for
the head Langford stepped in and sho,
over hard right to the body. A left
nook to the jaw sent O'Brien down again,
and when he got up he grabbed Charlie
White. the referee, and held on,
L0ngford stepped back and measured
his man for finishing wallop OBrien
came In to clinch. and while he clung
on desperately Sam pounded the kidneys
with forceful blows. He crossed his
right over to the head. and just then. the
end or the round, he fioored his man for
the tnlrd tlme with left to the stomach.
OBrien presented a sorry spectacle at the
fourth round. but. although weak and
groggy, he managed to last the limit.

LAUREL L'SNEW TRACK
win Have Fall Meeting This
Year About Time of PimIico.
CONFLICT is FRIENDLY
H. D. "Curley" Brown Will Have
Charge Of the New Enterprise,
Which Promises Good Stakes.

NEW YORK, August 16.-H. d. Brown,
the we'll known race course promoter,
passed through the city yesterday on his
way to Maryland, where hhe is building
a new race track at Laurel. situated mid
way between Baltimore and Washington.
It Is his intention to hold a meeting there
beginning October and running for
twenty-six days. as that Is the only
month permissible for racing in Anne
Arundel county, according to the laws of
Maryland.
While the meeting will CONFLICT with
Pimlico for two weeks the two institu-
uons will be on perfectly friendly rela~
tions. this having been agreed to between
Mr.. Brown and Mr.. Thomas Clyde, the
principal stockholder in the Pimlico Rae
ing Association. The stamp OF friendship
has been SO tightly bound that Mr.. Clyde
will race some of his horses at Laurel. as
will other men closely connected with
the Pimlico enterprise.
Il had long talk with Mr.. Clyde at
Saratoga yesterday" said Mr.. Brown.
"and he was perfectly agreeable that the
dates at the two tracks should conflict.
In fact he rather preferred 1t to changing
the Pimlico dates to September or No
vember, not believing that a long meet
ing in Maryland would be good for the
sport. 1t was definitely settled between
us that there should not be any ill-feeling
in any way whatever, but to conduct the
two machines on about the Same lines
and without friction. Our purses will be
about the same as those at Pinllico and
our stakes will have q like value, or as
near as possible. shall arrange the
dates for our stakes SO that they will not
in any way conflict with the stake dates
at Pimlico. I mean by that l shall not
have a two-year old-stake the same day
as Pimlico and other features will be ar
ranged In the same manner SO that horse
men can enter their horses in stakes at
both tracks and be able to run them at
both places.
