CARDINALS HEROES OF BIO WRECK IN EAST Boston, July 12.- Roger Bresnahan and his St. Louis Cardinals, the sensations of the National league pennant race, narrowly escaped death in a train wreck early yesterday morning on their way here from Philadelphia. The train which was carrying the ball players plunged from a trestle while speeding through the outskirts of Bridgeport, Conn., crashing in a twisted mass
of wood and steel to the street below. Not a Cardinal was Injured, although several passengers were killed and a score seriously wounded. Bresnahan and his players proved themselves real heroes and assisted in rescuing the passengers and aiding the wounded. Bresnahan crawled out of the debris and together with First Baseman Konetchy and Pitcher Bob
i Harmon dragged several women from I under the mass of ruins. j Speaking of the Incident the players
declared It was a terrible sensation when the crash came and they now wonder how all were saved. Barring a scare and shaking up they are none the worse for the wreck. The rescue train brought the team here late yesterday, afternoon, but too late to play the scheduled game with, the Doves.

Flynn says he Is anxious 4o add Morris' scalp to the bunch of "hopes" he has dangling from his belt.

London, July 12. Athletic followers in England were in a frenzied state last night. From the Cheviot Hills to the English channel the sensational and thrilling triumph of the British, athletes over the stars from America in the international struggle yesterday afternoon Is being celebrated. There is a reason for this unexpected joy. No one, not even the most ardent admirer of the athletes from Oxford and Cambridge believed they had a chance against the worthy tamed foes from Yale and Harvard. But England, for once, sprung a surprise and of the nine events was the victor in five. The meet wasn't settled until the very last contest had come off. It was the one mile run. America was confident that in this final event it would run away from England and one more have the satisfaction of trampling on John Bull. . The thousands and thousands who jammed the Queen's club stadium arose to their feet and tore the air with their yells when the athletes burst away in the event to decide whether America or the Britons had come back to life in the sport world. As the runners passed the half mile mark some one spurted out in front. His stride didn't change" an inch, but his speed did. Step by step he drew away from the others and until it was apparent that he was a certain winner.

All the time the multitude was wondering who this athlete was. Soon his colors were shown and in an instant a wild yelL-went up when it was discovered that the victor was John Baker of Kings college, Cambridge. Although America was dethroned there was some satisfaction to be had. even in the moments of the downfall, for an American athlete played a prominent part in the victory for England. He was G. E. Putnam. a Rhodes scholar from Christ church, Oxford. Putnam halls from Kansas. In the hammer throw he made the good record of 151 feet 5 inches. He easily won this event, as Child, who was second. negotiated 140 feet 7 inches only.

The result of the day's fighting gained nothing for either team, and the Sox still are held in fifth place, with third position almost in their grasp. Dr. G. Harris White engaged in a hand to hand pitching contest with young Joe Wood in the opening game, and for seven rounds they fought to a draw, with sparkling fielding plays behind them. In the eighth the Boston defense cracked in two places and put Young Joe in a tight place, after two men had been retired. In his desperation he hit the next batter, filling the bases and letting the best Chicago hitters get at him. The strain was too much and two singles followed, driving four of the White Sox men across the plate. White held his speed to the end and allowed only three hits all through the game, all three of them being made by the same man, Engle. Not another one of the speed boys could swat Doc's curves to safe ground. Five hits altogether were made off Wood, and had his support been as strong as Doc's the first game might have taken up the entire afternoon.
No disease ever comes without a cause. What is the cause of yours? Many men bring on themselves the horrors of a life-long disease by unnatural habits, excesses or dissipation. Less common but sometimes the result of mental strain or business worry. No man so afflicted is free from daily Incumberance. Mentally and physically he is not at his best. He therefore owes it to himself and to his family, to posterity and to society at large to consult a competent SPECIALIST and thus make the most of life and its iuflnate possibilities.

Brooklyn. N. Y., July 12. Invading this country where baseball still is in Its infancy, according to President lbbets, the Cubs opened a series of four games with the Infants yesterday with a 6 to 2 victory, which enabled us to get in a bit on'New York and to keep well ahead of Philadelphia. Brown, who was kept on the warming pan ready to jump in and pull a game out of the fire If necessary, all through the Giant series was turned loose to see what he could do for himself, and demonstrated that he is as strong a beginner as always in spite of the excess of practice he has hnd as a finisher. The Infants touched him for eight hits, but these would have scored only one run If a slip had not occurred In the lucky seventh which permitted the foreigners to double their holdings. For a time the Cubs had considerable difficulty in negotiating the currency fed them by Cy Barger. In fact, up to the sixth inning. Chance's men, who were without even the bench direction of their natural leader, could get only three hits off the Infant hurler. Then in the sixth there was a slip and a break In the other team's defense, and the Cubs pushed three runs through the slender opening In less time than it takes to tell about it.
