won 10 games and lost 6. Moore, OF
Galveston, comes next with IL wins
and lost Rose, Foster and Ray, OF
Houston, are the next three IN aver
ages and this accounts In large
measure for HOustOn's position san

the team had the effective pitchers
that Houston has Miller, of Waco,

Newman. first baseman for the
Houston team. seems on his last legs
he is one of the veterans of the
Texas league and has had nearly a
score Of chances in faster company,
but has never made good. His strong
est point has been his ability to hit.
This year he is well under the 500
class and he is getting a little stiff
to play a fast first base. Always CT
an unruly disposition, he has had TO
hold on by superior playing. With MS

6AN ANTONIO. Tex, July 27.-Dur-
ing the last week three of the
~ most promising players seen in
this league for years have been pur-
chased by the major leagues and dick
ers are on for the requirement Of six
or seven more. 1t Is doubtful if dur
ing any previous season there were
really as many promising young play
ers as there are in the Texas league
this year
Z Pitchers G. c. Brant and Joe Mar
tina have been sold by Beaumont to
the Boston Americans and viii be de-
livered at the end of the season The
deal was engineered by scout Donna
van and the price paid was a sub
stantial one Martina is easily the
peer of the pitchers in this league, al
though some Will show better record
in the averages. That he has not won
more games is due 20 the fact he has
been with a weak team He was
garnered by Beaumont from the South
eTn league and has been showing class
from the very first Brant has also
been going fast. Both men look equal
to fast major league company and the
fans here fully believe the two men
viii make good.
Eugene Moore, the star southpaw Of
the Galveston team, has also been sold
to Cincinnati, of the National league.
The purchase price was $4,000, which
is believed to be the highest price ever
paid in the Texas league for pitcher
or player. Moore Will report at once.
His record in this league has been a
remarkable one. Picked up from
Texas amateur team by Dallas he was
given a. tryOut, but was thrown in the
'discards. Determined to be a pitcher,
he returned to his home and got job
in brickyard wheeling bricks in
wheelbarroW for y hours a day. Two
years of this gave him muscle which
would do credit to a blacksmith. Thus
equipped, he came 10 Galveston and
has been the mainStay of that team
during the entire season.
The predicted shakeup in the san
Antonio team has come. George Leidy,
who has managed the team for six
years, has been released and first base
man Metz, who directed the team on
the road trip on which u straight
games were won, has been made man
ager. Leidy is a discard from the
National league. After he left fast
company he became a manager in the
South Atlantic league and developed
such players as Ty Cobb, Leidy has
accepted a place as umpire in the
Texas league for the rest OF the sea-

days racing of the Grand Circuit meet
Two of the events on the card were
won in straight heats, while one ex-
ira heat was required to decide each
of the other two.
The 2:O9 pace, last on the program,
furnished the best sport of the day.
In the first heat George Penn led
around to the distance stand, when
Babe, coming with a rush, passed him
in the last few yards and won by a
safe margin. Molly Darling. Walter
J., and Forest Prince were noses apart,
a length back OF the leaders. Babe
led in the second heat until Molly
Darling caught her a hundred yards
from the end and beat her a half

way down the stretch and won slow

WOMAN TO BE AN ENGINEER
Has Had Much Experience With Her
Father In Ore DIstricts--Hs
Win Coach Her.

Spokane, Wash.-Randie JeIdness
of this city, who was graduated re-
Gently from an eastern college for
women, has decided to become min
ing engineer under the tutelage of her
father, CLAUS Jeldness, known as a
successful operator in the foremost
camps of Colorado, Nevada, Washing
ton and British Columbia.
Miss Jeldness was initiated in the
dry ore district, north of Bear Lake,
in the Canadian province, where. with
her father, she ascended a mountain
rising $500 feet above sea level, MAX
ing the trip with a pack over trail
through the heavy timber.
Afterward they attended several
sessions of the western branch OF the
Canadian Mining Institute at New
Denver, B. c., where some of the most
prominent mining engineers and man.
ayers in the Canadian northwest en-
couraged the girls undertaking, say
ing it offers exceptional opportunities
and advantages for those who are not
afraid of hard work and pays the high
est remuneration OF any OF the probes
sions in America for intelligent and
persistent effort.

SAYS YOUTH SHOULD DANCE
Author In Minneapolis Asserts There
Is Much Good In Bringing
Young Together.

Minneapolis, Minn.-Dancing was
called natural proper outlet for
the play impulse by DR.. Woods Hutch
inson of New York, physician and au-
thor, in an address here before the
members OF the Minneapolis Civic
and Commerce association.
'lf the opportunity for young peo-
pie to dance is not properly afforded
under proper management" he said,
"the city should concern itself with
such provision. The dance hall prob
lem may be helped greatly by using
the public school houses for dances,
under proper supervision. Young
men and women should have greater
opportunity to mingle among whole
some surroundings and there is much
good in any plan that will bring them
together more frequently. Much of
the evil that besets the young in the
cities could be avoided in this way"

BOASTS TITLE OF The AIR
Each Of the Elghty-Seven Departments
Of France Expected to Give
Aeroplane to the Nation.

Paris.-It is probable that each OF
the eighty-seven departments compos-
ing France will donate an aeroplane
to the army, the machines to bear the
names OF the departments presenting
them.
The scheme is the outcome of too
small appropriation for the arr diyi-
sion made by the chamber of depu-
ties. There is a growing feeling here
that Frances destiny will probably
be fought out in the clouds. and the
fear is general that Germany might
forge ahead in the matter of air
craft.
The man in the street says England
has the most powerful water force,
Germany the bigger standing army,
so France ought to keep her lead as
mistress OF the air.
