THOMPSON LOSES TO
KLAUSE IN TEN ROUNDS
Pittsburgh Boxer Lands
More Clean Blows Than
Cyclone.

New York, Aug. 1S.-Frank Klaus.
the Pittsburgh bearcat," and Johnny
Thompson, the renowned Cyclone" of
Sycamore. H., gave a meritorious imi-
tation of an irresistible force humping
into an immovable body in their ten
round spat last night at the National
Sporting club. Klaus won.
! Thompson evidently did not mind
how much of a beating Klaus could
deal out. His aim was to keep inces-
sanity after Klaus. Try as he might.
Klaus could not force the hardy
Thompson to retreat. Times without
number, Klaus landed his deadly left
on vital spots, but Thompson merely
shook off the blows and kept boring in.
1t was a real battle, marred a bit by
too much clinching. with the men al
ways trying to the best of their ability
Klaus won through his ability to LAND
the cleaner punches. He cut Thomp-
sons face almost beyond recognition
Thompson had matters much his owl
way in the first four rounds. His pc
Guitar defense bafhed Klaus in the
ehrIy stages. Klaus tried hard to beat
down his antagonists guard witt
smashing blows. The scheme began tt
work along about the fifth round wher
Thompson tired after a rain of wal
lops. In this round Klaus cut a gasl
over ~Thompson's right eye with
forceful left and kept pegging away a
it wherever he had an opening.
Klaus kept after his man every sec
ond they were not embraced in the las
FIVE rounds. Thompson landed a RICH
jab repeatedly, but it did not bottle
Klaus. The two appeared like novice
in the fifth round after klaus had dam
aged Thompson's eye. Both SWUNG
wildly and would sail clear across tn
ring before they could recover from
the force of their swings

Boston, Mass. Aug. 1S.-The Cubs
slipped a bit yesterday. A mixture Of
bad pitching and b~ooting gave the
lowiy and careless Boston Rustlers
several clusters of runs, and though
the attack of the Cubs was up to stand
ard. they couldn't get enough ta1lies to
win. The final score was IL to s.
It's bad enough to lose a game at all
TO the Boston club, but to lose one aft
er scoring eight runs is indeed deplor-
able. Consequently surly air pervaded
the camp of the champions last night,
for they realize they are clinging on to
first place in the pennant race by only
a thread and above all things can't af-
ford TO toss away a game.
To make matters worse. Johnny Ev-
ers has drawn a three days suspension
from the league president just when
he's able to take his old position. Piled
upon that. Manager Chance went into
a rage over Heine Zimmerman during
the game yesterday, ordering him to the
clubhouse and to take of and. turn in
his uniform-Dayy Shean went to Sec
ond base. which leaves no utility field
er on the club unless the manager re-
Tents after he's had a nights sleep.

A Prayer Ten Centuries Old.

Among the documents and manu-
scripts taken by the Pelliot mission of
France from a cave in Chinese Turkes-
tan, where they had lain during ten
centuries, is a curious manuscript re-
corded by the French Academy of Sci
ences. The manuscript is in one of the
oldest known Hebrew texts. 1t Is a
prayer formed of passages taken from
the Psalms and from the prophets
written in beautiful square Hebrew.
with a very rudimentary system of vo-
calization.
Evidently the manuscript was car
ried. on the person of the man who
owned it Hebrew scholars believe that
the document dates from the eighth or
ninth century of the Christian era, and
that it belonged to a pious Jewish mer-
chant of Arabia. No such paper was
known in Arabia in either the eighth
or ninth century. therefore it is sup
posed that the manuscript was tran
scribed for its owner when he was in
China, where such paper was to be

A Local Acrostic
BY NEARBLEAw.

Some years ago
A man came west,
MethinkS to grow
Unto his best.
Ere this was done quite rightfully,
Lewd thoughts enveloped his anatomy.
He read the statutes quite regularly,
Used the Bible very sparingly:
Tutored the youth as a pedagogue.
Jealous was he, trying to petifog-
Even sought in council by those un-
wise,
Lacking power to read his butter
milk eyes.
OF those who sought his brilliancv.
Favored are they by charity.
While he now is posing as sage,
ASKS the question with much rage
Keen is he to know the reason
EveryOne'S taxes are so high this sea-
son.
Endless causes he relates.
No ones honest, he now states:
Even the officers he accuses of theft.
Yelling with vigOr, graft, graft.

Keenly alert to the needs of the op-

Now we fail to know where he's been
