Oh. I don't . know. '
That toboggan Hid didn't go all tb
way through after all, and any war It wm
wide enough to bold two, for the Denver
tram managed to get In right alongside of
Omaha and go kiting down about aa rapidly
aa anything we've Been lately. Eight
tratght loaei Is the record' (or the season,
and Omaha cheerfully passes the medal
over to the Grizzlies. Who'll be tta next
wearer doesn't appear on the surface, but
the team that gets It from Denver will
surely have to hustle. While all this
sliding. ha been going on Kansas City baa
come down a few, too, but has managed to
check the downward rush, and Is now hold
ing first place by the aafest margin of the
season. St. Joe's mad dssh for the top
brought the team up into the first division
bunch, but aa yet the McKlbbenltes haven't
been able to pass anyone on the way. In
the present series, should the Saints win
all, .which Isn't likely, there lies a chance
for them to pass 'Denver and tie Omaha.
But Omaha will get one If not two of the
game there, and Is sure to gel' one of
the games at Kansas City.. Milwaukee,
Peoria and Dea Molnea are all putting out
ft much faster article of ball than they did
during the early days of the season, and
will make matters mighty warm for. the
first division bunch before the next month
la over. Colorado Sprlnga la the rank tn-and-outer
of the league, and It la not likely
that lta position will be much Improved. The
bruising aeries at Peoria and Its victories
Indicate that Omaha has called a halt on the
hard luck features of the present expedition
and Is again playing ball. This Is what
the local fans rejoice to see. Eighteen
games on the home ground during July
ought to sea the Rourke flag flying from the
league masthead when the team next goes
iway.
' Another umpire In the Western yielded
Op the official prerogative and returned
to private life during the week. Mr. Harry
'Cries of Chicago found the work a little
too strenuous and last Monday evening, after
he had been rescued from a mob of dissat
isfied Mlssourlans down nt St. Joseph, be
- wired his Indicator to Prealdcnt Sexton. Mr.
Crlss la the genial gentleman who took two
. of the Colorado Springs serifs away from
Otrfaha by his erratic decisions. He did
not last long enough to reach Omaha, hap
pily, for with the luck the team haa been
having It Is almost a cinch that Cries
would have been sent here to umpire the
long July serlea. It is now a chance be
tween a new man and Cox, who la not a bad
sort when one thinks of Latham.
Eddie Gordon haa made good with Denver
'and la well spoken of by the papers out
there. He la sure to be a favorite If he la
allowed to remain with the team Packard
la quite ambitious to win the pennant, and,
aa 'tis home attendance depends on his

atrengthen hla present aggregation. It Is
given out that he la negotiating with Na-

couple of pltchera and an outfielder. ,, If he

What kind' of salarlea are they paying In
the Connecticut leaguef Tom Owens, said
to be the finest second baseman the
Springfield (Mass.) team has had In many
years, Jumped to Toledo, saying he was
tired of working-for $100 a month and
passing up good chancea to better himself.
Bill Clements goes to Kansas City of tha
Hlckey league at $225 per. It begins to
look Ilk the Hickeyltes were bunting
cheaper material. When the aeason opened
two and a quarter per wouldn't buy clgaroota
for a Hlckey player. Nothing under three
and a half was thought of. And what a
lovely lot of old fossils there are drawing
good money In that league that la, If they
are 'drawing anything. Attendance at tha
east end towns of the league haa been some
better during the last two weeks, but In
dianapolis hasn't got over the 900 mark
rftener than once or twice. One of the
funny things la the way the Milwaukee and
Kansas City boosters 'for the American
compare attendance. "We're not doing
much here," they say, "but In Kansaa City
(or Milwaukee) we're getting five to their
one." If thla were ao, it'a mighty cold con
eolation, for the crowds ara still under 400.
Last Sunday Omaha drew 4.000 people at
Milwaukee, a very encouraging prospect,
and public favor actually seems .moving to
ward Duffy. None of tbem, except Louis
ville, are drawing hard enough to pay ex
penses, though, and to an outsider It seems
only a question of how much good money
the magnates want to send after bad.
kicking at the umpire la always a bad
practice and very often operatea to deprive
a team of the services of a valuable player.
For example, take that tie game at Peoria.
Calhoun allowed hla temper to get the bet
ter of blm while at the bat and waa put
out of the game and then off the grounds.
Thla waa In the fifth Inning, and for eight
innings the team had to fight without blm,
a youngster filling bis position on first. Had
Calhoun been able to control himself his
assistance might have enabled the team to
win. At Colorado Springs he and Oenlna
were both put out of the game by an um
pire who would uss authority whether he
ahowed Judgment or not, and the game waa
lost. In none of the kicka that have been
registered thla aeason has the. kicker gained
a' point, .other -than' to. Incur the enmity of
the umpire, and frequently deprive hla team
of his service. It haa been a matter of gen
eral regret that better umpires could not
be had, but the fact remalna that they have
charge of the gamea and none are too diffi
dent or too lenient to assert their authority.
The rule giving the umpire the right to put
a player out of the game la 4 good one and
playera ought to reaped it. At all eventa
they should be careful not to kick them
selves out of the game.

There are no tales Ilk those ot the
track, and there Is no gossip to equal a
turfman when one started on a flood of
memories that are Indelibly written Into
hi career. Tha four days' racing which
baa Just ended in Omaha waa the occa
alon of an unusual assembling of such
horsemen, and aa a result there waa an
upheaval of reminiscences of racing experi
ences that haa not been paralleled here In
many yeara. In the Judges' stand this
goaslp found Its working center, and this
can be easily understood when the list ot
the men who were there la reviewed. First
there wss Billy Sapp, tha veteran horse
man of Council Bluffs, la., who haa started
horse for decades: next was Nick Ronin ot
Fremont, a turf follower from the '60s on;
add to these such old stagers as G. G.
Irey, M. L. Learned and Clinton Brlggs
of Omaha and John 8. Adams of Genoa, and
you have the foundation for a lively mess
of track stories. And they were certainly
to be had last week. Not a- race but re
minded aome or all of thee officials of
something they had seen aomefchere; not a
beat but bad In It aome feature that was
simply a repetition ot what aome black
mare or bay gelding did back In York state
or otherwhere years ago, and then some of
the old-time driver appeared on duty, and
this meant a boat of additional recollec
tions. ,
"Why, there's old HalBell from Waco,
Tex.," saya O. O. Irey, aa Ollle Miller, the
little black Texas mare, was driven onto
the track for the eecond- race of the first
day. Behind the horse sat a little man
with gray sideburns, and to him Irey re
ferred. "I remember him," continued the
speaker, "when he drove the famous pacer,
Rlchball, the horse that made a record of
i.U back in 18S3. Halsell was the man
who brought that horse out, and be was
the one who drove him to that reoord.
But Halsell ia a crafty old dog. . RlchbaTl
paced many a race before anyone knew
bow good he was, and In his gTeat race
against Porter and Buffalo Girl at Suffolk
In 1883 Halsell bad-them all guessing. He
brought R(chball out for the first heat
Wearing wooden toe weights. They looked
Just like the metal, but they didn't have the
weight, and the animal was away behind
In that heat. The next was the nine, and
that time Rlchball was almost distanced.
By that time old Halsell had the measure
of all hta opponents, and also had hla
horse's price around the 100 tb 1 shot mark,
which waa where he wanted it. Before
the third heat he changed weights, putting
on the real thing, and then the fun began.
Rlchbalt almply walked away from them
all for three straight heats, and the people
were thunderstruck. But Halsell had won
the purse, monster one, and It waa found
later that a big bunch ot money bad been
placed on Rlchball at an fnormous long
figure Just before the third beat"
"Tbat'e Just ot Halsell's style, all right,"
chimed to Clinton Brlggs. "and your etory
about him reminds me of a trick old Gen
eral 'Bill' Turned did, it Rochester, N. Y.,
some yeara ago. The general was as foxy
aa any.pt Ibem, and he holds undisputed the
reputation' "ot having made more ' money
racing than- any .' horseman.-.. He alwaya
drove bla own animals, and a little scheme
he worked with a sorrel mar will show you
hn it waa that he always came out ahead
finally and hoW patient and persistent he'
was to galq ap .end. Tnia aorrei was a
trotter -and the general, had carried, her
with his stable for three aeasons straight.
In- thai tine1ahe bad never been In the
money once, and waa always Just Inside the
flag or else 'outside of It entirely.
-. "All these three years the general waa
paying race entry fee on the mare and
not getting a cent back, but he waa simply
following out a preeonclved plan, as turned
out Anally. Tha denouement to the scheme
came at. Rochester, where they were having
big crowds, -big betting and big. puree.
The general could, of course,' always get
the mare In the low claases. tor ahe bad
never done a thing. This time be had her
entered for a good stake and In the first
beat she barely escaped the flag. A friend
came out to the general sympathlxlngly
and advised blm to tak the horse' off for
good, saying she had . never done a thing
In three yeara and never would.
" 'Well, it takes time to learn 'em to go,'
responded the general,, 'and I guess I'll have
a little more patience with her.' Then he
went over and found that the price on the
aorrei bad gone up from 4 to 1 to 10 to 1.
A few mlnutea later half a doaen men
lumped In all aome $30,000 on the mare at
those figures. When (he "next neat waa
called none of the other entrlea nor the
crowd expected anything from that horse
and did not even "notice her. "But when the
bunch rounded into the stretch the mar
was with It and aba pulled away a winner
at the wire. For the next two heata the
story waa the same and a auspicious crowd
urrounded the general at the end.
" 'Wal, I never aeen ber go afore,' Said
be, 'and I'll never ask ber te again.- She's
won me a race at last' And he atuck to It.
The aorrei waa never started again and
the general bad put tha price of alx farm
nn thml ila.- For three veara ha had
ateadfastly pulled ber In every race. Just
waiting lor her name to get so wortnieas
aa to be Invaluable to blm." a
"Here com old JJumner Bruen behind a
sweet-gal ted little bay Autre," aald Ernest
Jamea, who bad happened In, "and you can

TORMENTING ECZEMA.
Kansas Citv, Mo., May, 1898. .
In 1896 I experienced at time
catches on the Inside of my bands that
itched and burned, causing much die-

A time went or It urew
worse
I had read medicine in my
early twentiea (now 50 years of age)
and was convinced that I waa afflicted
with a type of Eczema. I consulted
several physician and a number of
specialists, and used aeveral external
applications, one of which was claim
ed to be a certain specific. I confess,
however, I had but little faith in
external applications, yet I used them,
receiving but alight temporary relief.
In February 1 decided to try 8. S. S.,
and in less than a month I experienced
a change for the better, and by May
of that year all symptom had dis
appeared, and I found myself entirely
cured, and have had no return of the

thorough and lasting cure be effected, and for the accomplishment of all this, no remedy
equals S. S. S., which contains all requirements for cleansing and buildirlg up the acid blood,
and invigorating and toning up the system. S. S. S. completely and permanently eradicates
every vestige of poison, thus effectually preventing a fresh outbreak of the disease.
Cases that nave resisted ordinary treatment for years, yield to. the purifying, cooling
effects of S. S. S. upon the blood, and when rich, pure blood is again circulating through the
system, the itching and stinging cease, the eruption disappears, and the red, rough skin
becomes soft and smooth again.

This from M. D. Learned.. "The first of
every month to this day Howard' Philips
receives from James Gordon Bennett a
check for $150. Why? Just because he was
the man who drove Bennett'a mar Autrain
to tbat 165,000 stake and- all thos other vic
tories In '96. That's' the year Bennett had
Autrain and her balf-sister In Europe, where
they cleaned the boards. Pbllipe drove tbem
boh, changt g tbem around. He would al
ways try them both out and use the horse
that was In best 'trim that particular day.
But Bennett didn't pension blm for win
ning especially,, but for being on the square,
Autrain created a furor In Europe and bet
ting ran to awful heights. Many a time
Philips waa offered thousands upon thou
sands of dollar to make Autrain lose )uat
one race, but he never listened. He haa
never worked for Bennett aince that year,
but he gets tbat money Just the tine. When
he 'left Bennett'a employ Philips remon
strated about the check, but Bennett re
plied that he wanted Howard to take It aa
long as he sent It, aa It waa merely In
homage to an honest man."
Just then a leathery-faced old horseman
.climbed the stairs to the stand and ac
costed Starter Sapp:
"Are you Billy SappT"
"I am."
"Well, I want to ahaka hands with you.
I started under you once at Jollet and you
gave me a mighty aquare deal."
"No I didn't," responded Sapp, smiling.
"I'm not tbe man."
"Aren't you W. F. Sapp?"
"Yea.M (
"Then you're the fellow, and I want to
aay that you're a square starter."
"Welt, I hop I'm tbat," replied Sapp,
"but I never started a race at Jollet
There's another alarter, alao a W. F. Sapp,
who Uvea In Kansas, and he'a the man you
want. ' '
"We have a great time, me and W. F,
Bapp," continued Billy, turning to tb
other judge. "Both of us are starters and
we live not so far apart. Tb Identity of
namea ha caused not a little confusion and
aome laughable Incident have resulted."
Rueaell Williams, a 13-year-old' boy ot
Benson, made a big hit with the old-timera
In the stand, who freely predicted for him a
great future aa a racing official. Russell
bad never aeen a horse race before In hla
Ufa. Secretary Thomaa had brought him
out to help at the atand aa messenger, but
It waa not long before Russell had accepted
tha responsibility for the entlro meet. Once
he was sent up to the distance pole to ee
If a certain hers wer Insld the flag at
the end of the beat. He reported back that
the animal had plenty of room, and wben
the next heat waa called he asked Starter
Bapp:
"Hadn't I better go up and flag those
horse again?"
Sapp said he had better go and Russell
was distance official from then on. In one
race, too, Halsell drew bla boras in tb first
heat, the animal not being In abapa yet after
a Jar on the care. When the next heat
cam along Ruasell noticed ther was on
horse missing and, yelling to Sapp to hold
tbe race a minute, he ran to the stables and
ordered Halsell out at one. Tb old driver
explained to Russell the philosophy of th
"draw" In a horse race and the boy waa
finally satisfied to let th beat proceed.
Wednesday afternoon Sumner Bruen, tb
drlwr, entered tbe itand In response to a
call from Starter Sapp, and was reprimanded
for holding Dulcle 8 In the fourth raca,
which It waa plain was all hla It be
wanted it.
"We must have square racing here," said
Sapp.
"Well, I bat to let Dulcle go out of tb

I'll have to." Then Bruen became com

She Just aged and I never knew her
to' break but 'once in her whole life, and
then I forced ber to 'It, Just to see how
she'd behave. The result waa so terrible,
that I shall never do It again. I could not
get her back on her feet for a quarter of a
mile and It seemed to break her heart
She will never do It of her' own accord.
She Just pacea along and apparently don't
know any other gait. Of course, It'a a
good thing to hava a horse know how to
catch back again when It does break, but
tl waa . plain : to me that It would take
Dulcle an awful long, hard time to learn
that, and, If she Is never going to go oft

never force her off again Just for practlco

"I waa just thinking of the first time I
ever saw high cls racing," aald Nick
Ronin. "It waa at Oxford, Pa., twenty-five
year ago. A blacksmith came out and
drove a horse' in 2:42 to a high wheeled
sulky and the time sent the people craty, It
waa.ao wonderful. There were 40.000 of
them there. A little later, In Westchester,
we bad a similar crowd and the-blgTaee
lay between a Lancaster county horse,
Llszte, and a Cheater county mare, Effle.
The , county rivalry waa Intense. Both
counties were bet solid on their respective
horsea. Lizzie won In th home of her
opponent and Lancaster county owned tbe
whole of Chester county. Th time was
t:32U. and that was considered marvelous.
A little later they raced again at Lancaster
county and there Eflle won on her op
ponent's own track.. 80 the countlea just
went back to- their former owners and
every one waa square."
Freaks and marvels have checkered th
entire career of Ella Range, the guldelee
pacing mare. According to ber history aa
related by her trainer, Ed Fltaslmmons, this
hors haa led a life that tor eventfulness
could be equaled by thoae of few ordinary
men. Most remarkable of all tbe Incidents
related by Fltaslmmons, however, I doubt
less the very manner In which the mare
happened to begin aa a guldeless wonder.
After Ella's sensational performance last
Wednesday, when she did a mil 'on the
half mile oval In 2:10H. Ed cam to th
Judge' stand to get th time by quarter
and so got In on the general round of
tales. Said be:
"Thla mar la 10 yeara old and I have
been starting her as a guldeless paoer for
alx aeasons, I began It In a most peculiar
way. Ella la bred up with any of tbem,
being by Coast Range, by Nutland; dam,
America, by Arcadian, by" Egbert. Dr.
Hayea of Chippewa Falls, Wis., who ralaed
her, thought ah would make good, and waa
fond of her. I took ber to train, but ther
waa an ornery atreak In her and after
aeasons of labor she waa still a bad actor.
She would go right through a fence, whether
there waa a gat there or not, and needed
more governor and straps and thing than
any horse I ever saw. It became almply
useless to start ber at all and one day I
loat my temper and said I would make a
guldeless wonder out of her or kill her.
"80 I took ber out to th track la hobbles
and almply turned her loose. A friend bet
m 120 she would fall down before sh
reached the quarter. I took It. and Ella
paced aafely two rods paat th quarter,
when ah turned a eomplet somerset.
W helped her up end led her back and
atarted ber over. That time ah went clear
round. . From that time on her future was
settled. Tbat fall took all meanness out
of her well, and It la a peculiar fact
that tine then I have beea able to drive
her all right. . In fact, aha goea a mile
to aulky in about 2:11. Every year, too,
ah get a little faater at tb guldeless
game, and had aba not gone one around
oa th gallop today with a broken hobble
b would hava made 2:01 beyond a doubt,
tor ah waa plainly 'good.'
