The second grame of the series bstween the Richmond and Van Wert teams of the Indiana-Ohio league was forfeited by Vmpire Chew to Van Wert, 9-0, Richmond having declined to play with Wentz, of Wapakoneta, in the pitchrr'B box for Van Wert. Ritter was pent to bat, and after he had reached first base on a single, Richmond left the park. Captain Cameron announcing that he was acting under orders received from the team's manager. Richmond and Van Wert both lay claim to the services of Wentz. The former holds a telegram from the player, accepting terms and agreeing to report at Van Wert. The Van "Wert right to his services is based on negotiations opened last week and a letter of acceptance of terms. The letter is dated one day prior to that on the telegram. The same teams are scheduled to rlay here this afternoon. Manager France, of Van Wert, has announced that he will send Wentz in to pitch the game. Local fans are watching the controversy with deep interest, but they believe the controversy will be settled amicably. ATTEMPTS A "DOUBLE CROSS." Pitcher Wentz Seems to Have Been Free with His Promises. According to the above dispatch ;om Van Wert,' it appears that Pitcher Wentz has attempted to "double cross" both the Richmond and Van Wert teams, accepting terms with one team by wire and the other team by letter, all within two days" time. If the league managers and President Kling take a sensible course in the Wentz controversy, there is no reason why the league should suffer. The local fans, after understanding both sides of the Wentz case, will no doubt agree that the proper method for President Kling to pursue is to blacklist Wentz. Such actions on the part of a player should not be tolerat ed for a minute and any player adopt Ing tactics similar to the ones em ployed by Wentz shuld be prohibited from playing in the league. Played Under Protest. The general opinion of the local fans is that the game Wednesday should have been played under pro test. There appears to be no excuse for the Quakers leaving the field and refusing to play. Had the game been played under protest. President Kling would no doubt have allowed the protest and thrown the game out As It was, it is probable that two or three hundred people were disappoint ed by the action of Captain Cameron In leaving the field. It is thought President Kling will refuse to allow Wentz to play with any team in the league and at the same time fine the locals for refusing to play the game under protest. Not First Experience. Wentz has demonstrated twice that be Is a thoroughly unreliable player, Early in the season he accepted terms with the Richmond team and manager Jessup wired him a ticket to report here. Wentz was next heard of pitching for the Wapakoneta inde pendent team. When Manager Jessup wired him the first of this ween ana nsked him to join the locals, Wentz promptly replied by wire that the terms of the Richmond team were sat isfactory and that he would report bere Tuesday. Manager Jessup then ordered him to report to Captain Cam eron at Van Wert. Wednesday morning Captain Cameron phoned "Uanacer Jessun and stated Wentz bad arrived in Van Wert, but had been Immediately claimed by Manager France of the Van Wert team. Cam eron stated that he had asked Wentz what team he was going to play with, but that the pitcher refused to give bim a. satisfactory answer. Jessup then told Cameron that if Van Wert attempted to pitch him to refuse to play. Manager Jessup left this morning for Van Wert, and it is probable that he and Manager France w'" able to get together on the Wentz squabble without bringing on internal troubles In the new league. Fans hero are hoping that the Van WertRichmond game, scheduled for today at Van Wert will be played off. Portland, 2; Kokomo 1. Portland, Ind., Aug. 1. Superior jelding on the part of Portland and errors by Kokomo gave the second game of the league series here to Portland by the score of 2 to 1. The feature of the game was the base running of Parker and Harden of the Portland team, both taking chances many times and beating out the ball. The only feature that marred the game was the continual rag-chewing of the Kokomo players among themelva oa. the bench. The umpiring

of Thompson in his second game here was very satisfactory to both teams, no kicks being registered by either team against his decisions. Score: Kokomo ...0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 01 4 4 Portland .. 0 0000020 x 2 4 0 Batteries Lacey and Orr; Gray and Harden. Struck out By Lacey, 4; by

BRITT THE WINNER; OUTFOUGHT NELSON In Third Encounter, Decision Went to Californian.

GREAT CROWD SAW FIGHT San Francisco, Aug. 1. In their third encounter, the first two clashes having gone to the Dane, Jimmy Britt put it all over Battling Nelson bere last night. The pride of California seemingly has rounded to and is better than he ever was. Nelson put up only a good fight. He was not the ; effective man he was here on former I occasions. Apparently, his defeat by I Joe Gans has pulled him down tome and lessened his prowess in the roped arena. When he saw he was losing last riight, he fought dirty, and the ; sympathy of the big crowd was all with Britt on this account. The ref eree cautioned Nelson repeatedly.

The Carthaginians and the Tyrians regarded Spaiu as El Dorado. It is but a poor country today, but potential wealth lies in its rock bound hills. Just as In the days of the ancients. When those acquisitive mariners, the Phoe nicians, tirst set foot in the country they exchanged their commodities, says Aristotle, "for such Immense quantities of silver that their ships could neither contain nor sustain the load, though they used it for ballast and made their anchors and other im plements of silver." So rich In silver was the country then that the people are said to have made their commonest domestic utensils of the metal and even their mangers. The Romans found that their greedy forerunners had sadly diminished the precious store, yet enough was left to satisfy not a few proconsuls. Th Truthful Woman. It is no exaggeration to say that a more or less truthful woman is looked upon with grave suspicion. What is more, nobody lelieves her. If she quite truthfully pronounces her age to be twenty-nine everybody at once says then she must be at least thirty-five. while if she should ever be cajoled in to admitting the number of proposals she had in her youth it will only con firm the popular impression that she had been very lucky to catch a hus bantLat all.

Harvey Tucker, while driving across the tracks of the I., C. & E. Traction company at the Pensman farm east of Eaton WedneS' day morning, was struck by a west bound car. He was on a wagon load ed with wheat and in order to avoid the impact jumped and was buried beneath the wreckage. He sustained a broken nose and was otherwise severely cut and bruised, though his in juries are not serious. The wagon was demolished. dANGEROUS PiGS. The Fearless Mexican Peccary Fight Man Or Beast. Will A writer in the St. Louis Republic says that the most vicious and fearless member of the brute creation Is the peccary, or wild hog, of Mexico. This animal seems utterly devoid of fear and displays an intelligence in fighting man strangely at variance with its apparently complete lack of mental attributes. Their ability to scent man is particularly marked. The only thing to do when they get after you Is to run away from them as fast as a horso can carry you, and then there is no certainty that they won't catch you They are nearly as swift as a horse and their endurance is as great a their viciousness. A friend of mine encountered a drove of them in a wild part of Meiicc a few years ago, and his escape was almost miraculous. He very foolishlj shot and wounded a number of them Then he took refuge in a tree. The peccaries kept him In the tree all that day and through the night. They circled round the tree, grunting and squealing their delight at the prospect of a feast. He soon exhausted Lis am munition and brought down a peccary at each fire, but this had no terrors for the beasts. Toward morning they began to" eat those he had killed, after which they formed in line and trotted off. If they had not had some of their own number to devour they would have guarded that tree until my friend through sheer exhaustion dropped from his perch and allowed them to make a meal of him. The wildcats and tigers that Infest the Mexican wilds flee from the pec carles with Instinetlve feai', and even rattlesnake - their path. Hay Fever and Summer Colds.

A somewhat eccentric physician who recently died would order patients to take walks, say daily, on the left side of the street, returning by the other side; anotherhe would order to arise each morning at a certain hour and eat cheese with ginger beer; another to take supper precisely at midnight and eat only apples, or he would instruct the patient to put just so many grains of salt on the egg he was to eat and part bis hair In a different way each day. His object was to get the mind of the patient on something else than symptoms, and this scheme worked well In many cases, especially when the patient was suffering from melan cholia. New York Times.

EHLE SAW ROBBERS BUI DID NOT THINK Never Occurred to Him That the Men Were Engaged in Improper Work. HEARD NOISE OF POUNDING THIS WAS WHEN CASH REGISTER WAS BEING BROKEN OPEN, BUT STILL HE DID NOT GROW SUSPICIOUS. Dr. A. E. Ehle of East Germantown is confident that he saw the men who robbed the George F. Gipe store there Tuesday night. He did not think at that time the men were up to any crooked work and he had completely forgotten them until Wednesday morning when he was informed of the robbery at the Gipe store. When Trosecutor Jessup went to East Germantown Wednesday to investigate the case. Dr. Ehle told blm that Tuesday night he was up until a late hour attending a patient. On his return home he saw three men prowling about the street, an unusual sight in East Germantown after 11 o'clock, but he did not look closely at them. After entering nls office be trans acted some business and Just before retiring he heard the noise of steel beating on steel. He listened intently for a short time and the noise contin ued. Dr. Ehle however did not pay particular attention to this noise so he went to bed. He states that if be had been supplied with a good imag ination he could have deducted from what he saw and heard that crooks were at work in the town and it would have been easy to arouse his neighbors and capture all of ' the store breakers The noise heard by Dr. Ehle was made when the three men took the cash register of the Gipe store into i I ttiir j uuu uivno lb uyru nan a, . , .... , hammer. There Is absomtely no clue as to who thege men are Although Dr. Ehle aaw them he did not notice them closely enough to give their descriptions. It is thought that Rome young men from the vicinity of East Germantown did the work. CHESS CLOCKS. There Are Spscially Constructed Or.ef Used In tha Game. Hourglasses, or sandglasses, wen formerly ued for the purpose of meas uring time at chess matches, but nov specially constructed clocks are in gen era! use for this purpose. Thee clock; consist of two clocks mounted on common base, which moves on a pivot the two clocks therefore being on tb. arms of a sort of seesaw. The leani or base, is so constructed that whei one clock Is elevated it stands perfect ly perpendicular, while the depresses clock lies over at an angle, but as tht mechanism of each clock is o con etructed that it ouly moves when th clock is perfectly perpendicular it fol lows that when the upright clock ! going the depressed clock is at rest. Another and more modern varletj has the two clocks fixed on the aamc level, but with a pmall brae arrr reaching from the top of one to the tor of the other. This arm acta on a plvo and can 1m brought down into actual contact with one clock at a time by c touch of the finger. When it is thus Ic contact by an ingenious device tht clock is stopped and the desired result is attained. The working of the clock during a match Is simplicity itself. At the commencement of the match the hands of each clock point to 12. Then at the call of "time to commence play" the clock of the first player Is started; then as soou as he makes his first move he stors bis own clock either by depressing it or by touching the arm referred to, the same motion starting his opionent'8 clock. So it goes od during the entire course of the game, each move being marked by the stop ping of one clock and the starting of the other. CAPT. MARTINDACE IN CITY. CaDtaln E. B. Martindale.
