Chicago, Aug. 23.-Baseball fans here are still talking over the recent great pitching feat of Jack Coombs when he beat the Cubs by a score of 1 to o and allowed Tinker's men just one measly hit. COombs pitched one of the best games of the year in the National league. He allowed one hit, issued one pass and had twenty-seven men face him in nine innings, and not one was left on base.

 Cleveland Meet.
 Cleveland, Aug. 23.-While two fa- vorites were winners yesterday in the grand circuit races at North Randall, surprises were plenty, outsiders and "dark" horses won their share of the glory.
 Lee AXworthy trotted an exhibition mile in POO IA, breaking the worlds record for stallions by three-quarters of a second The record, 2:01, was made by The Harvester.
 Charley Valentine and Sister Strong gave the talent a pumping in the 2:18 trot, Sister Strong winning the first two heats and the race in handy fashion, although the third heat was taken by Brescia, the favorite.

The Reason.

"A bum ball club" you interject. extended streaks winning nineteen out of twenty-one and thirteen out of six teen. Tn two stretches lasting through thirty-seven games, which is a stout test, the Giants were good enough to win thirty-two and lose but five.
 The power and the speed or some thing must be there to accomplish any such double drive, The query is how can a club that is good enough to win thirty-two out of thirty-five games over two winning stretches be weak enough to lose twenty-six out of thirty-one games over two losing stretches? You answer it.

DiOgenes Up to Date.

Diogenes dwelt in a tub, so ancient
 stories say, Which shows that flats remain un-
 changed from that old Grecian
 day; And day and night with lantern light
 he wandered up and down Patrolling all the avenues which
 twisted through the town. As each citizen passed by, Diogenes
 would throw His lantern light upon each face and
 sigh in abject woe; And through the throng he'd move
 along continuing his search, A vain and most unhappy one that
 left him in the lurch. The natives marvelled at his job,
 which left them all at sea, They wondered what the object was
 and what his graft could be; "Oh, tell us, please, Diogenes," at last
 each passer cried, What are you hunting for, old dog?"
 and straightway he replied: I'm hunting for a southpaw who is
 good as Eddie Plank; I'm hunting for a poet who has money
 in the bank; I'm hunting for a college kid that
 hasn't signed with Mack; I'm hunting for a Yankee star with
 out a broken back. I'm hunting for a pitcher who is keen
 on facing Ty; I'm hunting for a beaten club with
 out an alibi; I'm looking for ball club that can
 hammer out a score Each time it faces Leonard, Ruth or
 Foster, Mays or Shore."

RUMOR MEXICANS
PLANNED DAMAGE
Excitement Ran High on Saturday
Night at Fort MadIson-Police
Uncover Nothino

Excitement Ran High on Saturday
Night at Fort MadIson-Poiice
Uncover Nothing.
Shopton and the west end Of Fort
Madison was agog with excitement
late Saturday evening and Sunday
when the rumor went the rounds that
resident living in the extreme west
limits Of the city overheard q number
of Mexicans scheming and planning
to blow up one of the evening trains,
which was supposed to be carrying a
consignment Of material for United
States troops at the Mexican border
line.
The rumor had It that a man was
walking along and was attracted to q
clump Of bushes from where men
could be heard talking in low tones.
Curiosity impelled the man to get a
little better view and he was much
startled to see a number Of Mexicans
talking very earnestly, speaking in
broken English mixed with Mexican
lingo. Edging closer, he could occa-
sionally catch word or two, the i'm
port OF which seemed to lead to the
fat that they were carefully laying
"deep-dyed" plans to blow up an
equipment train which was to pass
through, en- route to the southwest.
The tragedy was to occur at Wenke's
Night Watchman Rhode and Sher-
III Watkins were notified and left for
