But yesterday George Weigold,
more than four score years old, sits
disconsolate in a ward at the county

"He will die for want of compan

Crampton yesterday. "He has little
left in the world except companion
ship, and I really grew attached to
him in the time I was there atthe
hospital as nurse."
Miss Crampton was withdrawn
from the case three days ago by
Mrs. Cora Patton, superintendent of
the hospital, who believed".the aged
man well enough to be placed in a

Go to her on a rainy day ana you
perhaps will find her shuffling the
deck preparing to weve a romance
of what has been, 'what is, ana
what shall be. She uses thirty-two
cards, stripping out all below the
sevens. After carefully cutting them
with her left hand for luck, she lays
aside the top and bottom card to
form her "surprise." The thirty
cards remaining are, dealt out in
three parcels of ten each. The left
hand pack represents the past, the
middle, the present and the right is
the future., ,
Revealing the Past.
One wonders what there can be in
the past of so young a creature to
be revealed, but , nevertheless, this
is all part of the game. So she
commences with the past, which jhap

Then taking the cards in tne oraer

THAT LATE BALL
GAMEJRAMED
President of Chicago Nation
als Has Been Advised That
Philadelphia Game
"Fixed."
Chicago, Sept. 4. President Wil
liam Veeck of the Chicago National
league base ball club issued a state
ment this afternoon saying that he
was advised last Tuesday afternoon
prior t the game with Philadelphia
that it was "fixed" for Philadelphia
to' win.
Mr. Veeck gave out copies of six
telegrams received from Detroit,
Cleveland and Chicago prior to the
game, all reporting that it was
"fixed" and that thousands of dol
lars were being wagered on Phila
delphia by Chicago "sharps."

Claude Hendrix was slated to

pitchers had been used in their reg
ular order. Manager Fred Mitchell,
however, sent in Grover Cleveland

day that Alexander was offered a
$500 bonus if he won the game.
Philadelphia won, 3 to 0.
Mr. Veeck said he would appoint
a committee of three Chicago base
ball writers to conduct an independ
ent investigation and would give
them money to employ .detective j.
"If the charges are proved we will
drive the guilty players out of base
ball, even though it shatter the
Cubs' team, Mr. Veeck declared.
Veeck Makes- Statement.
Mr. Veeck's statement follows:
"The charge that there were
'fixed' players on the Chcago Na

day came as no surprise to me. If
I have anv regret at their publica

investigations which were being
made mght be hampered through
their advance publicity.

of several telegrams, the last of
which came to hand at 2:45. I give
them here in full: .

existed, be thwarted,

offering him a bonus of $500 if he
won. I am sure no man ever went
into the box wanting to win more
than did Alexander."
Mr. Veeck said he arranged with
a.detecUVe agency to place two op
eratives in the park to watch for
anything that might be interpreted
as suspicious and, after the game,
instructed the detective agency to lo
cate the persons, who sent the tele
grams and see what evidence thev
had to support their, charges. The
detectives found, he said, that there
was no such address as "57 Ledburv
avenue, Detroit," and no such man
as "J. H. Clinton."
Mr. Ve?ck said the club would
defray all the expenses of an in

"I pitched Alexander the day in

the game. Meadows was pitching
for Philadelphia, and it takes a good

he would not have neglected to put

Johnston's game with Washburn
offered the outstanding feature ot
the day. Early in this battle lohn
ston made it evident that he was to
fnrre his Kneed to its limit. So fast '
and furiously did he use his forehand
ed as to back Washburn a yard or
two behind his base line.
For the most part Washburn s
playing was of 'defensive character.
He tried, to take the net only to be
reoulsed , bv the terrific speed and
sweep of the champion's drive, When
he attempted ' lobbing Washburn
often met. with a light success. His
service was good and this helped
him. ' '

Houri-and 27 Minutes
Cherbourg, France, Sept. 4, The
Cunard liner Aquitania; which left
New York on August 28, arrived
here at 3 o'clock Friday afternoon,
making the voyage in five days, 17.
hours and 27 minutes. The record .
for the eastern trip from New York
to this port, which is five days, and
16 hours, was made by the Kaiser
Wilhelm der' Grosse in January,
1000. -
The White Star liner Olympic,
which left New York at the same
time that the Aquitania sailed, is not
expected to arrive before this fore---noon.
Despite official denials from"
the Cunard and White Star com
panies, passengers on the two ships
considered the voyage of the two-V
vessels a race, and it is said heavy
vagers were laid. Prince Carol of
Roumania was one of those who
baked the Aquitania. ;
