A Busy Man.

A customer OF large downtown
tailoring establishment was getting
service out OF suit OF clothes he had
not paid for. Statement after state
ment was sent to the customer and
finally n letter informing the man that
unless he paid his bill the matter
would be put in the hands of the com
pany's attorney. That awakened the
customer. He hastened TO the store
and demanded TO see the head OF
the company. He asserted the only
reason for not paying the bill was that
he had been so busy with other az
fairs that he had overlooked his debt
10 the tailoring company.

diers and Mexico should change to
actual battle necessitating more am
munition the stores of the arsenal
could furnish ammunition for long
period.
During the Spanish-Amer;can war
Rock Island arsenal was the busiest
military manufactory in the United
States. Day and night $500 men were
kept busy manufacturing accoutTe-
ments and ammunition. Should there
be real war now it is probable that
the force of workmen in the arsenal
factories would be greatly increased
and the activity of '9S be duplicated
For several weeks past the arsenal

Several shipments of arms and ammu-

TIP TOPS MUCH
ALIVE AND KICKING
Pound Four Baltimore
Pitchers for Ten Runs
and Win Easily.

Doing business at the old stand, al
though yesterday was July g. the date
on which Ban Johnson had predicted
that the Federal League would be dead
and disbanded. the Brooklyn Tip Tops
made mincemeat Of the Baltimore Tip
Tops at Washington Park. Two thou
sand spectators. or more. saw the home
team hammer the curves OF four Bal
timore pitchers 10 the distant, inter
mediate and adjacent sections OF the
field. The score was 10 to ..
For team that is about TO go nigh
and dry the Tip Tops played with an
assurance usually found only in team
about TO participate in worlds
series.
Marion found what might be termed
soft spot. He was inclined 10 be wild
and was not especially effective Eight
hits were made of him. and he under
signed no fewer than seven free passes
TO first base. He got off 10 bad start,
and in the first frame was touched for
three runs.
Thereafter. however. he frightened up
n bit. and what with his support row
ing about eating things up. he was
pulled out Of many a ticklish situation.
But nothing could stop the Tip Tops.
1t was just one day when every man
on the team had his batting eyes
trimmed. and any old ball. drop or
curve looked alike. Not every man
hit, however Frank Owens rcfrained
for getting safety, while Marion al
ways declared that he was simply a
pitcher. The others were on the ram
page.
Steve Evans and Westerzil were the
leading hittcrs OF the afternoon. Evan
got three hits, including n brace Of
triples. Westerzi had a couple Of
doubles. while Meyers ran riot on the
bases He stole second three timcs and
third once.
Jacklitsch. catcher Of the Tcrrapins.
was lost to his team in the sixth
frame. He split his finger and had TO
retire. 1t will be al least a week be-
fore he can don the harness again.

Braves made spirited stand and drove
back the Brooklyn Superbas, winning
both games Of a double header here
this afternoon. The opening battle
was won in the third inning and the
fral score was . TO ]. The second
game was bitterly fought throughout.
Crutcher downed Frank Allen in n

Teddy Gathers stood between his
team and extra innings, n not possible
defeat. in the final game on two scps

made sensational overhead running

and IN the ninth inning he raced over
80 the wight field wall 10 spear a liner

All i'm all. Brooklyn would have been
just as well pleased had Teddy stayed
ON the shores Of the River OF Doubt in

The scoring or one run IS not usual

looked upon it in the nature Of an oc-

Thompson. the Jersey City pitcher, and
won out by the score OF o 10 D.
There were many thrills TO the game
not the least OF which was Jersey CITY s
stand in the ninth. when the Skeeters
scored two runs and had two left on
the bases.

bail for six innings, blew clear TO ne
sizes in the seventh. He allowed :our
free passes and was touched Tor a

There was surprise when Thompson

battle. and Newark went at him IN

mound. Move put down safe bunt.

Pitching Duel.
CHANCES MEN SHUT
OUT IN FAREWELL
Strunk Strikes Blow Which
Dashes the Hopes Of Visitors
in Second Inning.
fBy Telegraph 90 =, Tribune.

Philadelphia. July 6.--The Athletics
sent the Yankees home to-day with de-
feat as the parting greeting. Caldwell
and Bender had a pitching battle and
the Yankees had no trouble in proving
themselves the lighter hitters. Connie
Mack's men won by score OF 2 to o.
Bender allowed only four hiss. while
six were made off Caldwell. The game
was practically settled in the second
inning. In that frame Frank Baker
opened with a single &c centreheld.
McInnis fouled TO Mullin, but Strunk
laced a hit down the third base line
which was good enough FOR two bases
and plenty long enough TO send Baker
across the plate. Strunk raced to third
on the throw in TO head off his team
mate at the plate.
Caldwell succeeded in striking out
the reliable Jack Barry, but Schans
hit one 10 first which Mullin could
not handle and home came Struns.
Bender was wild and gave the Yankees
plenty OF chances to score, but they
could not bunch base hits with his
passes. Chance retained his new line
M. with Boone at third base.
Perhaps +he best chance for The
visitors came in the sixth inning.
Caldwell walked and so did Truesdale-
but Hartzel's bunt failed Of its .pur-
pose. and Bender threw TO Baker for
force-out. Peck sent long drive 20
right. but Eddie Murphy made eaten.
Caldwell went to third or the play
There he remained, for Pete Daley
forced Hartzell from Barry to Collins
Another good chance arose IN the
eighth. After Caldwell had been re,
tired Truesdale walked and Hartze!I
singled to centre. Truesdale stopping

went straight into the hands OF Old-

wasted. Mulln walked, with one out
Cook Aed out and then Sweeney re.

but not very far, as Barry threw out

RICHIE FACES
WELSH IN RING
Lightweight Title Hangs in the
Balance When Boys Cross
Gloves Abroad.

Willie Richie, lightweight champion
Of the world, native Of San Francisco,
will defend his title against the at
tacks of Freddie Welsh. lightweight
champion Of Great Britain, in a twenty
round bout in London tonight.
Owing to the difference in time be
tween this city and London. the result
should be known By s o'clock tonight.
This is the first time that an American
and an Englishman have met for the
lightweight title since Dick Burgc was
defeated by kid" Lavigne on June !,
1896, in England.
Welsh is a popular favorite over the
American champion. and will enter the
ring an < 20 ) choice with those who
Ike 10 have wager down. His follow
trs belize that his superior skill wall
see him through. They hold that ne
will be able to keep away from Richie
throughout and outlook him handily.
In the opinion Of many. however
Iitchie will win. He IS stronger
boxer than Welsh. a harder hitter and
more aggressive. There IS slight chance
Of his being knocked out, while welsh
will be in constant peril Of summary
defeat.
