The spitz heave da fine 2-to-l defeat into the New York Highlanders yesterday. He looked able to pitch just that kind of ball forever, and the chances are he will be called to the front about three times a week for the balance of the season in a desperate effort to cut down that lead of six games which the Detroits are holding over the White Sox. While everybody is' talking about what an invincible gang Jennings has at Detroit it might be well to remind the fans that the Tigers are not out of the wods yet. The pennant Isn't theirs by a jugful. They have a dandy chance for it, no one will dispute, but several high Jumps are ahead of them, and you never can tell what will happen. CUBS SLAMMED AGAIN. New York, Aug. 10. One lone hit, a high bounder which went straight over third base and escaped under Stelnfeldt as he tried to scoop it, gave the Giants a victory over the Cubs in the second game of the series today by a score of 3 to 2. There were complications, but th hit which Bresnahan made really was responsible, as it caused the Cubs to make their regular daily break and force three runs upon the Giants. And, although the Cubs hammered Mathewson for six safeties, one a triple and one a double, all they could get off him was two runs mainly because Overall himself failed to make a sacrifice hit w-hich would have yielded one, perhaps more runs.

Charles Stewart, former shortstop of the University of Illinois, today signed to play the same position with Sterling Infants when the squad plays the Edgars, Ansons Colts and Gunthers the next few days in Chicago. It will be the strongest Independent team In the state. BREAKS HAMMER RECORD. Dublin, Aug. 10. At the Gaelic athletic meeting held at Menagh yesterday, M. J. McGrath, New York Athletic club broke all hammer throwing records, with a distance of 176 feet. In the weight throwing contest McGrath put the flf ty-six-pound weight, from a ninefoot circle, 3S feet 3 inches. UMPIRE GAMPH0R IS ARRESTED. Hot Springs, Ark., Aug. 10. The tribulations of the umpires in the Arkansas-Texas league continued today, when Umpire Gamphor of Chicago was served with a warrant for his arrest on complaint of the sheriff at Newport, Hat Springs' only rival for the pennant. Although Gamphor is charged with passing bogus checks, he stoutly maintains that he only overdrew his account and that funds are now in the bands for making good. BLOOMERS TRY SOME ECONOMY. Blomington, 111., Aug. 10. In the interests of economy, Bloomington today released Jesse Orendorff of St. Louis, utility catcher, who was formerly with the Boston Americans. To succeed him Nig Langdon, last year manager of Charleston and this year with Pana, was signed. SUIT OVER SPEEDING AUTOS. Damage Are Demanded of One Town Which Sought to Enforce Limit. Iowa Falls, la., Aug. 10. This city having just passed a speed ordinance for automobiles and other vehicles, is very much interested in a new point in municipal law which has been raised in a suit against an Iowa municipality for $20,000 damages. In this action it is held that the city is liable under its : speed-limit ordinance and its officers 'and agents should have seen to It that the speed law was enforced, in which event there is a strong probability the accident under which damages as claimed would never have occurred. The damage suit involves the injury of a young lady who was thrown out of a vehicle drawn by a horse, that became frightened at a motorcycle which was being driven by the rider In excess of the speed limit provided by the city and state laws. Attorneys in the case claim that a city, when it attempts to regulate the speed limit of those occupying the streets, becomes In duty bound to see that the provision is enforced, and, failing to do so, may be made a party to suit for damages when an accident occurs. BROWNS SECURE NEW PITCHER. St. Louis, Aug. 10. Charles Tesneau, right-handed giant pitcher of Perryville. Mo., signed today with thjs St. Louis American league team. LONG RUN FOR Y. M. C. A. MAN. McAughey of Toranto Covers 700 Miles In Less Than Twelve Days. New York, Aug. 10. In one hour less than twelve days, running most of the distance of over 700 miles, T. J. McAughey arrived In this city today from Toronto, Canada, bearing a message from the mayor of that city to the mayor of New York. McAughey is assistant secretary of the West End branch of the Y. M. C. A. of Toronto, and he said the obpect of the run was to test speed and endurance. He left Toronto July 27 and, omitting two Sundays, covered nearly 800 miles on foot, allowing for extra distances traveled by losing the road, in 11 days and 22 hours. McAughey averaged 65 miles dally, starting out each morning at 9 o'clock, keeping on the road late at night and running two-thirds of the time. PENN CHESS MEN BEAT OXFORD Quaker Varsity Team Scores Victory Over Britons, 11 o 0i. London, Aug. 10. The chess team of three men from the University of Pennsylvania has just defeated Oxford University by a score of 11 to 6V4 in a match played over the board at Oxford. The match lasted a week and eighteen games were played. This is the first international team match between England and the United States played over the board. The match was arranged at the suggestion of Pennsylvania by correspondence which commenced several months ago. GAME ENDS IN DISPUTE. Hammond, Ind., Aug. 9, '08. Sporting Editor, Times, , Dear Sir: The Hammond Colts traveled to Indiana Harbor Sunday, Aug. 9 and run into the poorest deal they have got so far this season in the first inning. The Harbor umpire, whose name happens to be Hughes, gave the Harbor team four runs and kept up his good work for the Harbor team by calling a foul ball fair in the ninth inning,' which would have won the game for the Harbor team, but the Colts put a stop to It by qulting. The Colts would have finished the game, but the Harbor captain would not play when all his men wanted him to, all people at the game also declaring the ball foul. The Colts hereby claim

t f i y i It a-. kS I Fred. W. ClzrkPittshu.r$ the championship of Lake county, and Issue challenges to all teams who wish to play for the title. This challenge is aimed at Lowell, who refused to play the Colts early In the season. We also wish to state that if the Habor team wants to play at any other place but their grounds and Hammond, we will bet them anything from $25 to $200 that we will win. Several of the Harbor players re signed after the game on account of the position their captain took. The battery for the Colts In yester days game was Dunsing and Vonish, who had the Harbor team at their mercy at all times. Ford and Galvln did the battery work for the Harbor and also did good work. The Colts will try to arrange a game at Hammond for Sunday, Aug. 16, as they have no one booked as yet for that date. The final score was Colts, 6; Indiana Harbor, 6. Respectfully yours, HAMMOND COLTS. STATE RECORD FOR 0LDFTELD. Automobilist Driven - Ills Racing Machine Over Mile In Quick Time. Lexington, Ky., Aug. 10. Barney Oldfield broke the Kentucky state automobile record at the Blue Grass fair here this afternoon by driving his Big Ben racer one mile in 0:59 in a race against time. Charles Soules, who drove the car Red Spider, also against time, went the distance in 0:594. In a match race between Oldfield and Soules over a three-mile route, Oldfield defeated Soules, making the distance in 3 minutes 17 seconds. John J. Ryan of Cincinnati arrived this afternoon and he and Oldfield will tonight sign articles for a match auto race at Cincinnati, to be run in a few weeks for $5,000 a side. BILL UNDERTAKES BIG JOB. Boston, Mass., Aug. 10. Bill Papke Is anxious to show the Boston fans that he can box better than he ever showed here, and for that reason he has taken the Job of trying to defeat Frank Mantell of Pawtucket and Mike Donovan of Rochester, N. Y., in six rounds each at the Armory A. A. Thursday night. Both of these boxers have an idea that they could defeat him single handed and have sought a match with him. His opponents are well seasoned mitt swingers, who have won notable victories in the ring. Mantell is about the most promising boxer of his weight in the east, as he went fifteen hard rounds with Honey Mellody and knocked him out in the final session, and is one of the big cards in his class, easily getting main bouts in any part of the country, while Mike Donovan has almost equal fame and never looks for anything easy in the ring. REFUSES TO MAKE WEIGHT. Leach Cross Says Idea. Was to Fool the Public Only. New York, Aug. 10. Leach Cross this afternoon, through his mangerial brother, Sam Wallace, refused to live up the terms of his match with Harlem Tommy Murphy, scheduled for the Navarree Athletic club at Ulmer park on Sept. 1. The original terms of the match called for the men to post a forfeit to make 133 pounds at the ringside. Cross claimed that he had had a private agreement with Johnny Oliver. Murphy's manager, that the boys would say they were to make ringside weight to fool the public, while In reality they would box at catch weights. This was denied positively by Oliver, and as the latter was on hand with his money and wanted to arrange to have the weight made in public on the evening of the fight, he had all the better of the argument.

WYAT Trial Lasts Nearly All Day Monday With Attorneys Belshaw and Robinson Representing Clients. (Special to The Times). Lowell, Ind., Aug. 11. Charles Wyat, of North Hayden, one and a quarter miles west of Lowell, was arrested on Monday and arraigned before Judge Woodcock of Lowell on a charge of assault with intent to kill James Brough. For some time trouble has been brewing between the two men. About six weeks ago Brough, who has anything but a savory record, was arrested for cruelty to his wife and family and threatening to burn his house and various other devilish things too numerous to mention. Wyat befriended Brough's wife and family and assisted In the prosecution of Brough at that tme, which resulted in a fine and Jail sentence. But Mr. Wyat, who is a whole-souled man, paid the fine and kept Brough from going to Jail on the promise that Brough would be a good fellow. Brough, it seems, did not appreciate Wyat's kindness and has had "It in for him" ever since, and has never missed an opportunity to make things very disagreeable for Wyat. Lives I nder Threat. Brough has threatened to do all kinds of things to Wyat. Mr. Wat stood this kind of a raw deal until patience ceased to be a virtue, and being very much the smaller man of the two, armed himself with a revolver to protect .himself, in case he should get in close

Sunday evening the two men met, and, Wyat, thinking that Brough Intended to do him bodily harm, thrust a revolver In his face and commanded him to stand back. At this instance Brough had Wyat arrested on the charge of assault- with intent to kill. Trial Lasts Long. The trial oocupied the greater part of Monday afternoon, and after summing up all the evidence Judge Woodcock thought Mr. Wyat had a right to protect himself against such a tough as Brough is reputed to.be, and acquitted him. Attorney Belshaw appeared In behalf of the state and Attorney Robinson for the defense. The verdict meets with the approval of all who are acquainted with the circumstances. HARRY HART IS i SHOT LAST NIGHT. Pine Station Is Scene of Encounter Between Two Men. East Chicago, Aug. 11. Harry Hart, 41 years old, was literally riddled with bird shot last night at Pine Station in the Lake Shore yards, when he was ordered by C. E. Shields, the railroad detective to emerge from behind bushes near the yard. C. E. Shields had gone into the yards for a tour of inspection and saw several people there who had no business. He ordered them to stop, but instead they took to the woods. The detective went back to his headquarters to get a gun and brought one loaded with bird shot. Finding Hart behind some bushes, he ordered him to come out and the latter refusing to do this, the detective fired Into the bush, riddling his victim with lead. The man was taken to St. Margaret's hospital and the detective placed under bond to stand trial Sept. 3. DEMOCRATS OF TEXAS. San. Antonio, Texas, Aug. 11.

Proper Treatment of Cantaloupes. "It is curiouB." remarked the grocer on the corner, "that there Is no fruit in the world which people areJ such poor Judges of as cantaloupes, and what is more curious is that they do their best to spoil them after they buy them. The first thing a woman does with a cantaloupe is to stick It into the Ice box. Now, cantaloupes, like most of our fruit, are picked a trifle green, and when they come from the grocer's they should be put out in the sun for a whole day, turning them over every few hours, and then putting them into the ice box at nlKtt.

Do not force a child unduly to practice the piano, lest It acquire a distaste for the study, which both child and parent may bitterly regret in later years, says Woman's Life.
