JEANETTE WINS
 BOUT BY PUTTING
 MADDEN TO SLEEP

Joe Jeannette, the colored chal- Ienger for Jack Johnson's title, knock ed out Jeff Madden in the second round of the final bout at the Garden A. C., New York, last night. The negro put the New Englander down four times before the referee nnally waved him aside as winner Madden was down for keeps from hard right over the heart.
 E The big colored pugilist had his man whipped before the start. Mad den appeared nervous in his corner and answered the bell reluctantly. In the first round Jeannette felt out his man and contented himself with fancy sparring. He hit Madden when and where he wanted without a return.
 In the second round Joe went out for a quick finish. Breaking from a clinch he dropped Jeff with short right chop to the jaw, Madden took the full count and a few seconds later was wrestled to the floor. A left put him down fairly for the third time. He was all in when he arose and crumpled for keeps from a blow over the heart.
 Jim Savage, of East Orange, de- feated Tom Kennedy in the opening heavyweight bout. Referee Joh stopped the battle in the seventh round to save Kennedy from unneces- sary punishment. Kennedy was practically blind when the official in- terfered. He had battled from the third round with his left eye com pletely closed. After an exchange of lefts, as the men broke from a clinch, Savage caught Tom a terrific right to the eye. Kennedy's face swelled out like a toks balloon and he was at great disadvantage thereafter.
 From here to the end Kennedy never had chance. He gamely tried to do the very best he could but in the seventh bumped into stinging

PIRATES CLAIM
 PITCHER SECURED
 BY N. Y. GIANTS

Pitteburg, Aug. 2o-Barney Dreyfum. owner of the Pirates, said yesterday that if the New York team wants Pitcher Goulait of Indianapolis. it will be necessary to do business with ths Pittsburg club. Dreyfues says Gou- lait is the property of the Pirates
 Tt seems to me that the option clause in baseball means little to tpe New York club,'' said Dreyfuss, when others property is at stake. Goulaff is the property of the Pittsburg club. !"
 The Pittburg club bought Goulait from Marion. Ohio, last fall and sent him to Springfield. He was transfer red to Indianapolis with Dreyfuss' consent.
 q have never waived and I don't think I will now" said Dreyfuss. Tt pays to show up some minor league club owners who think trey can sell other peoples property just because they have a chance to make some money in the deaI,'

IN MAJOR LEAGUES


 Bert Daniels has become the star of the Highlanders' outheld. It has been his hitting and general work which have accounted in a great meas ure for his teams recent success.
 The Washington Senators have made another spurt, and are back in second place. Grifffths men have but an outside chance for the pennant, but they are attracting more attention than any other team in their league. Although Cobb still leads the Amer ican League in batting Speaker and Jackson are hot on his trail. The Boston man has scored more runs than the Detroit hier. but he has also been in several more games. When it comes to stolen bases, Milan of Wash ington is far ahead of his speedy ri- ing extra base. hitters in the younger organization.
 From all appearances, Joe Wood of the Boston Red Sox will be one of the pitchers in the first game of sthe prising young tWirler has won tWen- ty-f1ve games out of twenty-nine. A pitching duel between Wood and Tes- reau should satisfy the most enthu- siastic fans.
 Chicago has now won ten games out of eighteen from the Giants. The clubs have four games left to play. The Giants have eight and the Cubs seven more games with the Pirates. The Phillies play ten more games with McGraw's men and six more with Chi cago. Thus New York plays five more games with the first division clubs from now on than does Chicago. Cincinnati is the only second divis- ion club that has given the Cubs any trouble, and the Cardinals are the on- ly second division aggregation that have bothered the Giants. The Cubs have nine more games with the Reds and the Giants have six more games with St. Louis.
 From Sept 8, until Oct. 3, the Giants play on, the Polo Grounds. They fin- ish the season with three games at Brooklyn. which is almost the same thing as playing at home. From Sept. ? to Sept. 26 the Cubs are on the road. It may, therefore, be seen that the Giants have all the best of the sched- ule during the last month of play. This should offset the fact that they have a few more battles with the lead- ing teams and with anything like con-

left that put the other optic out oI business. When Referee Joh waVe1 the men apart, Kennedy rushed ar Savage and the men battled In Ken nedy's corner until pulled apart ny their handlers.
 Both men rushed excitedly from the ring, intending to settle their argument in the dressing room, but they were kept apart. Referee Jon was rendered an ovation by the faF1, who unanimously endorsed his ac~ ton.
 Jesse Willard, PA pounds of cow boy from Oklahoma, made Luther McCarty, the Illinois White Hope look very much like false alarm in the second ten-round bout Wtllar4 had distinct advantages in reachs strength and weight. He made an excellent substitute for Arthur Perky, of Boston, who was unable to appear because of another engagement.

REDDY CLAIMS
 HE DIDN'T SEE
 SAVlN ROCK RIOT

Secretary Reddy of the Bridgeport club is very indignant at remark alleged to have been made by Fresi- dent O'Rourke of the Connecticut lea que.
 q do not think the president should rush into print and call me 8 cow ard," declared the secretary this morning. "He says I should have gone on the stand if knew so much about the fight.
 "I was in the box office when the trouble took place and was not able to see the affair. For that reason I did not go on the stand. If I had seen the fight you may be sure would have testified.''

LAUREL A. c. FIELD
 DAY WAS BIG SUCCESS

The Laurel Athletic Club held it's first annual field day at Silver beach, last Saturday. The crowd numbered from one to two hundred. The head liner was the ball game between the men and the ladies of the L. A. C., the former winning by the tune of 24 to '. The former procured Knowles as their pitcher and Donnefly behind the bat. The Red Sox's G. A. O new tvirler Fritz Tenn Dry pitched sew en sessions for the loSers when Ted dy Murray officiated and in the two last sessions the winners scored six more to their collection. Hartt caught for the losers
 Hal" Chase won the onion for the 100 yard dash. Dick Larkin won the pie-eating contest, bringing home the "'berriest'' pie. The Wild West show was excellent. the club hiring six pom ies at the beach.
 Ellis Tombey won the pole vault re- ward. Hartt won the $1 for having the cleverest dress. He was disguised nm GMaen Eitaahnfh and was .A Gcraaua.

The trouble in the Bridgeport club which was first told in these columns several weeks ago has come to a head and it is now announced that Man ager McCann will be given full sway Owner Freeman realized that there can be but one manager on a ball club and he assured McCann that there would be no more outside interference
 McCann stated this morning that II will be a hard job to get any new players so late in the season but he will do his best to strengthen the club and with harmony in the ranks he thinks he can put over a few winning games, Despite all reports to the con- trary Capt. Crook will finish out the season with the club. It is too late in the season to make any satisfactory trade now.
 The benefit fund for Genest of Springfield realized $719 and that amount was turned over to him yes- terday by Owner Carey of the Spring field club. Genest is very grateful to all those who assisted him.
 Tom Tuckey last season with Water bury, pitched a 13 inning game for Lincoln of the Western league recent ly and beat Omaha, Omaha. by 1 to 0. Tuckey allowed but six hits.
 The local fans will be glad to learn that Pat Hurley Is to be given a chance with the Mechanics. Hurley is sone of the fastest players in the local seTni-pro ranks, He is a fleet outfielder and has been hitting hard for the Black Rocks, leaders in the City league, If he can hit the Con- necticut league pitchers he will make a great man for the Mechanics.

 With mechanical precision, the sGiants drubbed the Cardinals to 2 and chalked up another unit in their ''won' column. Six games ahead is their lead in the championship race. Tip-top fielding on the part of the Red Sox bumped the Detroit Tigers. Boston scored times due to Detroit errors and increased their lead over the Senators to games. Rain prevented further hostilities in both leagues. Brooklyn attempted to play in Pittsburgh but was obliged to quit in the 3rd round.

Gov. Wilson is no doubt aware

Election Pamphlet Loses.

The last Legislature, controlled
by progressive sentiment which
cares not for either the peoples nor
the taxpayers, enacted law provid-
ing for the issuance of state prim-
airy and general election campaign
pamphlets for political candidates.
The total cost has been made pub
lie amounting to 4,827.14 of
which amount the seven candidates
whose pictures and write-ups ap-
peared contributed 50, 900, leaving
a deficit to be paid by the state of
$5,727.4I. 1t was farce, and a rob-
berry of the candidates who took ad-
vantage, in good faith, of the COL
umns of the pamphlet.

The Frdnking Privilege Abused.

It cost the people of this country
last year the sum of So $50, 900 for
distributing campaign speeches
through the mails to voters under
the franks" of congressman.
Most Of the speeches were never
delivered in congress, permission
having been obtained to have same
published in the Congressional
Record which gave them a semi
ofnclal character. 1t IS an absurd
expense for the country to have to
pay, especially as ninety-hve per
cent. at least, of the rot goes into
the waste baskets, as the voters
now days get their political inform
alton from newspapers. The prac-
tice has grown to such an extent
that 1t creates a deficit in the postal
accounts and the postal depart
ment should be more than self-sus-
tanning and farce should be stopped.

Our Poor Senators.

The members of the United States
senate must be a luxurious lot oil
yahoos, Judging from list of sup
plies furnished last year at the ex-
pense of the people. There must
be large number of dudes among
them, who give more time and at
tention to their personal appearance
than to their duties in the senate.
From personal acquaintance with
the two senators from Wisconsin,
the writer knows that they were not
among the number. To think so
would be amusing as far as Uncle
Ike" is concerned. Among the
supplies furnished-and of the very
best, were the following:
Ice, appolinar;es, Poland water,
celestins vichy, White Rock, Still
Spring water, bath salt, palm leaf
fans, water coolers, bath slippers,
perfumed soap, bath sponges,
cologne, talcum powder, massage
cream, Copenhagen snuff, lithia
water, castor oil, listerine, witch
hazel, bronchial troches, horehound
drops, quinine.pills, promo quinine,
bromo seller, soda mint, dispepsin,
nail brushes, glycerine, razors and
bay rum. They bought also five
pairs of lace curtains for the senate
restaurant at $40 per pair.

Change the Representation.

Ever since the Republican ma
tional convention was held In Min
neapolis, Mimi, the writer has
been opposed to the basis OF repre-
sentation which has obtained In
such conventions, viz: on popula-
ton instead of the republican votes
cast in each congressional conyen-
ton or each state. Under the pres
ent basis, states which do not give
a single electoral vote for the party
candidates have as much power in
the conventions as states which
elect full list of electors. The
condition, to which objection is
made, has been to favor zrepubli-
can politicians in the south who dc
little or nothing to keep up live
party organization, but go to the
national conventions and in case of
party victory claim the offices in their
respective states. In the Minneap-
oils convention to which allusion
has been made, there were 1913
colored delegates from the south
and I4o oficeholders who forced
upon the party the nomination of a
man who the republicans in the
north did not want. 1t is to be
hoped, that before the next republi-
can convention those in ia vor of a
change in the basis will be success
full in securing the same so that
the party may be equitably repre-
sented.

Backward or Forward?

The men who defend the federal
constitution are Tories according
to the ideas Of both democratic
and republican progressives- so
called. For over an hundred and
thirty years this country has grown
great and prosperous under our
present organic law, and yet, there
are demagogues who shout: To
hades with the constitution! if it in
terferes with their lawless plans
and purposes. A majority might
easlaveSthe minority and rob the
industrious and economical, if it
were not for a law restraining
them. The men who howl about
the Tories would MexicaniZe the
government and in the end the
widest disorder would prevail.
The thinking people in this coun-
try will awaken one of these days
to realization of the conditions
which demagogues and selfish agi-
tators would bring to pass if it
were possible for them to do so.
When man says that he is pro-
gressive, ask him, if backward or
forward?

Actions Not Professions.

The power of habit often leads
people to continue exercises which
once were the expression of reality
but now are simply mechanical mo-
tions. The most difficult task
which the Chr istian has to per-
form is to keep his heart; the east
est is the observance of established
forms and ceremonies. To bow the
head, to take upon the lips words
of prayer, to observe established
ordinances of the church, calls for
no such self-mastery as is involved
in returning good for evil or loving
our enemy.
