HnSTON, June 1. Fir star athletes from
:h Cnlverslty of Pennsylvania won -tha
ntercollcglate championship tn the Harvard
indium today In what proved to ba a
erle of wonderful athletic performances.
New Intercollegiate figures were written In
tlx of thirteen events and one more record
would have (rone down, that of high
hurdles, had not tha official decided that
th runners were too much favored by the
wind.
Pennsylvania was Riven a splendid fight
for first place by seven men from the I'nl
verslty of Midi lira n, winning by only four
(joints. The Penneylvanlans scored SI to 29
for Michigan. Yale was third with 23.
Cornell fourth with 16, Princeton had 10,
Syraquse 8 and Harvard 7 point.
Intercollegiate records were broken In the
mild, the shot put, quarter-mile, two miles,
high jump and pole vault. Qarrels of
Michigan ran the high hurdles In 0:1M4. but
Kraenslcln's record of 0:16 stands and will
remain the Intercollegiate flguress. Several
of the other events were almost up to new
marks, the 100 yurds being run In 0:10 and
the half mile In 1:57 Y
Irv the half-mile Parsons of Tale, who
holds the Intercollegiate record, shot Into
the lead at the start and kept It for the
flrs'tlme around, when he practically col
lapsed and Coe of Michigan went to the
fore. At the three-eighths Townsend and
French ot Cornell caught the Michigan,
runner and Baker of Swarthmor Joined
the leaders. Thirty yards from the tap
Hasklns of Pennsylvania darted through
the field and won by two yards. Townsend
and French of Cornell were second and
third, respectively, while Baker defeated
Coe for fourth place. A blanket could have
covered the live men. If Coe had had a
trifle mora strength and wind the cham
plonalilp would .have gone to Michigan. -
Tha mile Was HasMlns' race from the'
gun Are, although Magoffin of Cornell and
Coe of Michigan pushed htm.
Taylor, the colored runner of Pennsyl
vania, set theuarter-mlle mark, at 0:49
during the meet. In Philadelphia In 1904.
Today ha let the other runners aet the
pace for the first furlong, but at the turn
Into the stretch he took the lead without
effort and won lh 0:48. ....
Captain Oarrels of Michigan led the field
with 13 out of the ?! points for the west
erners. -Garrets won both hurdle events
from such fast men as! Shaw of Dart
mouth and Hubbard of Amherst, and also
showed his strength In the. shot put by
getting' second place over Stephenson of
Harvard. Haskins of Pennsylvania won

CHICAGO, June 1. Working true to In
dlcsted form, the track and field team bf
the fnlversity of Illinois won the western
intercollegiate championship at Marshall
field this sfternoon. The victory was by
a narrow margin. Illinois scoring 81 points,
while Chicago finished with The
teams of other Institutions were not seri
ous contenders, although Wisconsin looked
dangerous for a time, finishing third, with
17 points. Missouri and Drake divided
fourth and fifth honors, with 9 points
each. "
One western Intercollegiate record was
broken. Bmlthson of Notre Dame cutting
off a fifth of a second from the record for
the 120-yrd high hurdles, 0:15, made by
F. O. Moloney of Chicago In 1902. The
western record for the 100-yard dash, held
y C. A. Blair, a former Chicago athlete,
was equalled by May of Illinois, both In
the preliminary and the final heat of the
short dash. The strong north. wind which
bltw all afternoon undoubtedly helped In
these performances.
The absence of Missouri from the meet
made it the most open affair In years and
the smaller colleges of the conference did
well. Only five of the sixteen colleges and
universities represented failed to secure
marks.
Burroughs, the Illinois weight man, won
the shot put and the hammer throw, as
was expected Of him, and It was his work
that finally won the meet , for his schooj.

two fought It Out every Inch of the way,
and Merriam had but an inch or two to
spare when he crossed the tape. Merriam
also won the 440-yard run. These, with
Lyons' victory In the mile run, made up
the three firsts taken by Chicago. In the
fcJOryard dash, Qulgley ot Chicago, who
was. fighting for second .place, with May
of Illinois, fell Just before reaching the

DOPK 0! LOSO GAMES IS TIMELY
'
Fargo aad Devil Lake Still Hold the
Record.
The twenty-three Inning game won by
. ma noma City from Hutchinson the other
day has started up the train of arguments
once more over the longest game on record.
The longest game on record was played
by Fargo and Devils Lake July 18. 1891. It
went twenty-five Innings without a score.
At Boeion May 11, 1477, Manchester. N. H.,
(professional) played a tie, 0 to 0, twenty
four innings, with Harvard college. Phil
adelphia and Boston Americans played
twenty-four innings at Boston September
1, 19U6, the Athletics winning, 4 to 1.
Otber games of twenty innings or mora
have oeen played and tt Is Interesting to
note that one of them was played In the
Western association only last year when
Webb City and Joplln battled for twenty
Innings without a run, darkness stopping
the gome. Billy White, who played short
tor Oklahoma City hi the game the otTier
day. played short for Webb City that day
and Durbln. now with Chicago Nationals
and longed for by pa Rourke, was one of
the pitchers.
While on the subject It may be noted
with some degree of Interest that Omaha
and Kansas City's seventven-innlng game
in Omaha the last year Kansaa City was In
the Western league, was a most exciting
contest. Frank on, now with the White
Sox, was in the box tor Omaha and Jake
Weiiner, who lias recently surrendered to
Cincinnati, was pitching tor Kansas City.
Omaha won by th score of 2 to 1 and the
credit of what Owen, first and the rest of
the team naturally deserved, belonged to
Frank Genlns. Frank, one of the headlett
ball players ever In the business, was play
ing third that day hpcuiwe. well, because
Eddie Hlckey was the regular third ua
uin and becaus Uciuns bad a lame arm
thst sffected Ms throwing from the out
neiii. it wss in Ksnsas l ily's Isst Inning
that a man on third base and a foul fly
knocked back of Oenins. Frank ran to it
snd got safely under the ball which wss
lighting far enough away to give the runner
a splendid rhsrV-e of making home after
the catch. Oenlna, contemplating this, to
gether with the fact of his sore arm, wisely
dropped tha ball and the man never scored.

President of Leslie Cafere with
Drill as to Xt Players.
Norrla O'Neil, president of th Western
league, arrived In Omaha Saturday from
his home In Oakland, Cal. He was adorned
with a straw hat, which he ifused to dis
card, although he saw no other on the
street for h said It ought to b straw
hat time If It was not.
Mr. O'Neil ' special mission tn Omaha
was to meet Lew Drill, the new manager
of the Pueblo team. He la deeply Inter
ested ' In strengthening the Indian and
held a long conference with Drill at the
Millard hotel with that object In view
Saturday. Drill Joined th team In Omaha
Saturday, as did also Pitcher Bles. Much
to the astonishment -of many Omaha fana
Johnny Bender has been loaned by Pa
Rourk to Pueblo for the remainder of
the season and la expected to Join th
team In this city.
Mr. O'Neil said the Cantlllona were an
xious to do what they could to help out
Pueblo and were willing to contribute
either Dexter, Oochnaur or Sessions.
After meeting with Ml. Drill President
O'Neil had a conference with Umpire Olf
ford, whose .evident effort to maintain
order In the league ha carried complaints
to th president. But Mr. O'Neil thinks
Olfford Is a good man and will stand by
him. r
"This league I booming," said Mr.
O'Neil, "and wilt keep on booming;. W
have as nice a race, outside of Pueblo, aa
any league In th country and if Pueblo
can't strengthen to keep In th race we
till have th St. Joseph grounds, wher
w can put a team at any time. I see that
the Pueblo management la finally coming
to its eenaes and la going to strengthen its
team. It la about time. When th Publo
people were In Sioux City I fixed a deal
whereby they could get Shannon,. Cad
wallader and Hart, all good men, but they
turned me down, ao what could I do."
"The western crowds ar. drawing well.
Des Molnea had over 8,000 people to a Sat
urday game and Denver 8,000 to a Sunday
game, so you see. there Is great Interest
In the best of alUerports. The umpires are
all doing well. Olfford seemed- to please
the Omaha fana and still I have more com
plaint aboyt him than of any other um
pire, but he la , good man nevertheless.
He Is pretty sever on th players,
and I don't know whether that la exactly
right. Any tlm you tak th aggressive
ness away from a ball team It Is no good.
It Is th aggressive teama that win th
game.
Chicago Ha a Claeh.
"Chicago la In a class by itself In the
National league and th other teams ar
all outclassed. New York haa no more
chance tn that, race than I have and I am
not In the league. Look at the player
Chance ha and you will easily see he out
classes all the rest. ' I se where Pfetster
tot hi humps, but he la a great pitcher
nevertheless."
"Baa ball Is prospering on th coast.
They had 8,600 people to a Sunday morn
ing gam at Oakland th other day. Did
you notice where Mike Canttllort haa landed
the Minneapolis team? Those Canttllon
boys deserve to win, for they spend their
money for playera and are always willing
to let loose of some of their players to
strengthen another team to make the raoe
more Interesting. They offered me those

MADE
HUGE HAUL
talte . a Modern Game Saeoeesfally
. Worked on Blew York
Jeweler.
An alleged swindle by which several of
the largest' dealers in precious stones In
the Maiden Lane district of New York
City were defrauded out of Jewels amount
ing In value to over 3126.000 haa come to
light through an - Indictment obtained on
last week against J. Edwards Boeck. Ac
cording to a man prominent In the Jewelry
trade, Boeck first becam known about a
year ago, when he engaged offices at 170
Broadway and announced that he was
the New York representative of the firm
of Boeck ft Suttlle, dealera tn antlquea, the
main office, he said, being tn Hong Kong
China.
Boeck soon made many friends tn tha
Jewelry business. He seemed to be on good
term with wealthy art collectors, and on
several occasions acted as agent for these
men In purchasing works of art and
precious stones. About six months ago
Boeck began to take Jewel on approval
from several of the largest stores In the
city, saying that he had a buyer for them.
Thar waa no suspicion aa to Boeck's
good faith. When, on May 16, h disap
peared it caused consternation tn Maiden
Lane. A search was made for him, but
he was nowhere to be found, and aa a
lat resort th Jewelers' Protective union,
of which th victim ar members, called
In the Ptnkertona. When an Investigation
was made tt was found that Boeck waa
debtor to these firms for between 8100,000
and 8160.000.
Th Ptnkertona could find no trace ot
Boeok, and it was thought at first that
he had been a victim of foul play. Several
daya ago a letter was received by on of
the firms from Boeck, postmarked Phil
adelphia, containing pawn ticket for over
850,000 of th Jewelry. Th ticket were
turned In and the property redeemed, but
the recovery of the rest of the plunder 1
tn doubt.
Nlssen, Ludwlg 4 Co. of 182 Broadway,
waa one of those approached by Boeck,
but as the member did not know him they
refused to allow him to take good on ap
proval. A dealer tn Fifth avenue, near
Thirty-ninth street, who was known to
thel firm, then -came and obtained yroods
amounting to over 850,000 and gave hla
guarantee. He then turned the good over
to Boeck and that Is tha laat that th
dealer haa seen of him. i
. Nlssen, Ludwlg A Co. will lose nothing
by the transaction, as they are protected
by the dealer'a guarantee. Th other
firm affected are are Alfred H. Smith dt
Co. of 1 Maiden Lane, and Marsellus, Pitt
A Co. of th same address. It waa
learned that in addition to the firms men
tioned aeveral women were victlma of
Boeck. His mannera and appearance mad
him a favorite with th women, and two
of them have, come forward with the atory
that the missing man obtained diamonds
to the value of 814,000 from them on the
pretext that he had a market for their
sale. New York Tribune.

Wlaa Mad of Vpan Glass.
The enormous feminine demand for arti
ficial colls and toupees Is leading to a
fumlne In human hair. Formerly Swiss,
German and Hungarian girls supplied the
world of fashionable women with luxuriant
tresses of all tints.
But the governments of many countries
are now making Jt Illegal for a girl to sell
her hair or for an agent to buy It. The
supply In consequence is running short and
the prices of real hair are trebling.
A series of successful experiments point
to spun glass aa th most effective substi
tute for human hair. Wigs made from
spun glsss are wonderfully light and fine
and the texture soft and beautiful.
It Is easy to produce any shade desired,
while curls and waves can be manufactured
at will to suit the fashion of the moment.
The imitation Is so reallatla and true to life
that It is Impossible to detect the dif
ference between It and real hair grown on
the head. London Mail.

The fighting power of an Amerlcsn shows
In the desperste battle of Fred Mills In th
battle of Amlseglr In the recent war be
tween Honduras and Nicaragua,
John P. Poe, who once kicked a field goal i
, .. . . . i
iur rnniTinn, winning me most sensational
foot ball game on record, has Just returned
to Nevada from Honduras, where he served
as captain In the Honduran army. About
his own service he has little to say, but
while In San Francisco on hla way to Ne
vada he told th story of Mills, n Amer
ican adventurer, recently of Goldfield, Nev.,
who, with hla back to an adobe wall, held
the whole Nlraraguan army of Invasion at
bay and killed twenty-five of President Ze
laya'a , men before he ,waa finally borne
down by overwhelming number.
Th story come from an officer In th
Nlcsrafuaii forces who cam In on th
close of Mills' great fight
A Soldier of Fortaae.
Villa belonged to that class of mn who
fcloneer before the pioneer. Hla first greet
ancestor was Ulysses and hla forbears
harried the Spanish main. Th spirit that
lived In him and Kept htm up against that
adobe wall when almost cut to piece wa
what mad a soldier of fortune of him. He
drifted along th frontier of America from
Nome to Panama, and no one ever cared to
ask where he came from originally. Aa a
man he was (ill there, and he wss known
for having a heavy hand when trouble
arose. And that waa enough. He passed
all through the Alaska mining excitements
and came from there to Nevada, but he
did not have It In him to keep money, and
he would not make the sacrifice necessary
to accumulate It. At 80 he had some heavy
seams In his faVe from hard living tn hard
parts of the world, but he had all the ease
and grace of youth In his long, thin figure,
Hla strength lay chiefly In his arma and
ahoulders. He waa thin In the hip, and
lank In th lega and hated to walk worse
than a cowboy. From cold and tropic sun
his face wa bronsed permanently. With
hi black hair and very dark eye he looked
the part he played In the world. Above all
thing he wa obvlous'ly an American and
one who cut hla way clean when h had
anything to do.
When there was rumor of war In Central
America, Mills, who waa at that time tn
Goldfield, came to San Francisco and
ahlpped on the first boat. Ha readily ob
tained a captaincy tn the Honduran army,
and tn the upset state of affairs Just be
fore th war broke out helped get the army
into shape.
Then came the rumor that tha Ntca
raugan troop were preparing to cros the
Honduran frontier In th Interior. Mills ws
detailed with a company of native aoldtera
to go out Into the mountain where the
Nlcaraguana were expected to. cross, and,
avoiding the main body of troop, to pick
up any, skirmishing parties he could find
and learn the number of the Nicaraguans.
At Amlseglr. a mountain town which the
Nicaraguans were advancing upon and
were forced to occupy as a key to th po
sition. Mills found himself th only man
In the Honduran fOrcea who realised what
waa at atake. He prepared to hold th
place against ail comers.
The town iles high up on th hilt", with
nothing but sigsag mountain traila leading
to it. They are the highwaya-oamlnoe
reales-of Honduras, though In any civil
ised country they would be called goat

Th Graveyard Slee.
Mills realised that he could not b forced
from the town by artillery, as It could only
be moved against him on the backs of
mules. He took up his position in an old
graveyard, commanding the last angl of
the road with thick adobe walla Jutting out
at a aharp angle over the hillside.
The value of thl place for him lay not
only In the fact that these walla formed a
firsi barrier against the enemy, but also that
once h had got his handful of barefooted,
hungry soldiery Into the graveyard fc was
able to take up his stand at the a'away.

men from running away" as the .enemy ap
proached. This waa only accomplished
Chronic Ulcers are the result of a deeply polluted and foul blood supply.
The blood is filled with impurities and germs which are being constantly fed
.into the place through the circulation, until all the surrounding flesh becomes
diseased and the sore an obstinate and permanent trouble. Every symptom of
an old ulcer suggests pollution ; the discharge, the red, angry looking flesh, tht
inflammation and discoloration of surrounding parts, all show that the ulcer is
prevented from healing by the constant drainage through it of impurities from
the blood. This impure condition of the blood may be hereditary, or it may be
the remains of some constitutional disease, or the effects xt a long spell of
sickness, leaving disease germs in the system, or the absorption of the refuse of
the body which has not been properly expelled through the natural channels.
But whatever the cause, the blood is so weakened and polluted that it docs not
properly nourish and stimulate the place, and the sore cannot heal. Salves,
plasters, lotions, etc., keep the sore or ulcer clean, relieve pain, and perhaps
reduce inflammation, but can never permanently heal them because they do not
reach the blood. S. S. S. goes down to the very fountain-head of the trouble,
drives out all poisons and germs, builds up the weak, sluggish blood, gives
energy and strength to the system, and by sending a fresh, healthy 6tream oi
blood to the diseased parts, allows the ulcer to heal naturally and permanently.
Nothing reaches inherited taints like S. S. S. It cleanses the circulation of
every trace of hereditary disease or impurity, and those who have nursed and
treated an old sore for years will experience good results as soon as the system
becomes influenced by S. S. S. Book on Sores and Ulcers and medical advice

after he had shot down one of his own mesj
whe tried fo brush rr htm. and had locked
th Iron gat, throwing th hey over th
wall. Seeing themselves trapped Ms men,
sfter one futile rush which stretched lw
of them at-hl feet, recogntaed their master
and manned their positions. Mills msd
them knock holes through the wall on th4
side commanding the trail, through which,
had they been Americans, they, could hav
kept off th enemy almost forever. Whet
he had not reckoned with, though, warf
their propensity to blase away alt then
ammunition, regardless of whether the,
were hitting anything or not. Aa aoon at
their fire slackened tha Nlcaraguan gen
eral, with tha help of a machine gun placed
behind his men. forced them up the steep
hill They outnumbered their foes ten to
one. Swarming along the trail, although
the first ranks went down from the fire ot
the men behind the wall, they managed tn
worm their way up to the graveyard. Thfj
shooting holes having become useless. Mills'
men. trapped aa they were, spent their
last ammunition firing blankly through the
wall, while the Nlcaraguan aoldlera replied
with ten-fold effect The wall now lookt
like a sieve.
Rash of Cold Feet.
When the last rush came and th Nica
raguans were scsllng the wall from everj
side. Mills with his handful of remaining
men fell back Into one corner of th grave
yard, near the gateway. Jut aa ha waa ral
lying his men on of them smashed th
lock of the greveyard gat with th but!
ot his musket and swung tt open. Mllla'
men saw tkeir chance and rushed out pell
mell, leaving him alone to face the enemy.
Mills might have followed them, but Ml
fighting blood was up. With one last shot
at his own men he turned to faca th
whole Nlcaraguan army, which by tha(
time waa swarming Into th gTaveyar
from all sides. Finding only one man the
rushed at him with a yell. Mills' auto
matte revolver for a few minutes kept
the horde at bajr. He made furrowa ll
the Nlcaraguan forces at every shot -wltB
his quick firing automatic. For a mo
ment the Nlcaraguana fell back before
the deadly aim of the American, leavlni
the victims of his marksmanship groveling
among the gravestones.
In the heat of the next rush a random
shot fired through the wall behind Mills'
back penetrated hla body and for a mo
ment brought Mm to hla kneea. Tb
Nicaraguans. who had not been able U
hit him In the first rush, closed In wltb
their machetes. Mills fired his last shot
whit s"Hl on his knees. Jlia right ant
dropped aa he was reversing th pistol
to use It a a club. A bullet had shat
tered his wrist.
With his left hand he drew hla sabei
and leaned back against the wall. Weak
from loss of blood as he waa he atlll man
aged to run hla sword through three el
the men closing In upon him. '
A Gallant Stand.
While his sword waa atlll caught tn tht
body of one man another Jumped for hla
throat, but Mllla held him off with tht
elbow of his shattered arm. At this mo
ment a big Nlcaraguan negro who had
climbed the wall behind Mllla, leaped
down upon him . They both went down
In a heap. Mills took advantage of tha
deadly embrace In which they were locked
to use the negro's body aa a shield. Such
waa the fury of hla foea that they hacked
the body ot their own comrade to piecea
tn their effort to get at the hated gringo.
Rising with the body of the negro held
tn front of htm. Mills tottered blindly to
the nearest gravestone, and there made
his last stand. With his bloody sword
drawing a dead line about him he lasted
a full minute longer? He stood his full
height, head and shoulder above -bis
nam lea. With ' his', long reach he w,
able to keep them 'atf :a' distance, ' but
was a mark In the crowd to the fello
on the wall. '
Chlpa from the gravestone flew about
him, then suddenly a bullet' struck him
square between the eyes and he pitched
forward hla full length. ' Even aa he fell
his enemies jumped back. About the dead
body of Fred Mills lay the bodies of
twenty-five soldiers whom he had slain
In the uneven conflict
The Nlcaraguan officer who ' tells th
story says that th American' body had
eighteen bullet wounds, and It was a
marvel to the whole army how he had
lasted so long. '
When the last three volleys were fired
over the grave they placed over him the
gravestoner by which he had fought and
fallen, and rudely scrawled on It with a
