CITY IS All Gay "Party Fixins' " Have Been Removed in Quick Time. STRENUOUS LIFE IS OVER Fifteen hours after the close of the second annual Fall Festival, Richmond presented an entirely different appearance. The decorations on Main street had been removed and the thousands of people who were guests of this city for three days were no longer here but had given way to the ordinary number of shoppers. The firm which "dressed" Main street began Its work of removal early today and In a short time most of the decorations had been taken down. The merchants too began to work on their displays and by noon a majority of them found their buildings in the usual appearance. The firemen at the city building were still working on their decoration this morning and will be some time before it will be removed. The thousands of people who had flocked and crowded Main street were not to be seen today. Many local shoppers were in the city, however, as well as some visitors who remained to do some buying Business It reported as good with the merchants despite the fact that the Fall Festival Just closed. Many of the people win passed the stores durinr? the Festival and saw the displays, are calling on the merchants today.

' Jack McLean, the Cincinnati catcher Is now able to get about on crutches, j and Is confident that he will be all right in the spring.

It's up to the ! major league moguls to provide the ' law to prevent spiking affrays on th ball field. And the abolishment of j steel cleats is the best remedy. John McGraw has drafted another j fullblooded Indian to keep company; with "Chief Meyers. He is John Buil Williams of the Marion club of the Ohio State league. He is an Oneida and plays the outfield. It has been a rare thing in base ball to have a pitcher shift behind the bat and, make a really good catcher, but Fred Mitchell of Toronto Is a shining example of this transformation. Fred not only proved to be a crackerjaok catcher, but was one of the best hitters in the Eastern league. The story is told that Eddie Grant in crossing the Polo grounds before the double-header Saturday, found a seven domino and predicted then that it was his' lucky piece and that he would make seven hits in a row. He made five off Marquand and two off Mathewson. Hugh Duffy is named as the probable manager of the Chicago White Sor. Duffy is part owner of the Providence club and had been a success as a minor league team handler. Several years ago he had charge of the Philadelphia Nationals, but he was handicapped by a lack of financial backing. Owner Comiskey of the Sox and Duffy are old friends and if the latter assumes a management of' the Chicago club he will have a big bankroll behind him. Mullen, the young National League umpire, who forfeited a game to the Giants at the polo grounds Monday, has made a pronounced hit with President Heydler. , Mullen had the courage to withstand the browbeating tactics of the Philadelphia Nationals, whose failure to Jive up to the rules will compel the new pwners of the club to hand over a fine of $1,000, which seems to be richly deserved. George Davis, who has worn the spangles for nearly twenty years in the major league, will probably manage u western' minor league team next season, as the White Sox have let him out. Davis joined the Clevelands in 1SK, and was traded to the Giants several years, later. He was manager of the New Yorks for a short time in 1S0G, and remained with the team until he jumped to the Chicago Americans In 1002. ' In his prime Davis was a great hitter,' first-class fielder in all the diamond positions, and a sensational outfielder. He hung on gamely until Father Time handed him the inevitable release. vi vii aaro iuuay aim tumcrrow at Murray Theater for opening attraction, rnone 1699, "

BIG SIXDAY RACE. Crack Motorcyclists to Take Part In Long Grind In New York.

MILE A MINUTE EXPECTED. Leading Officials 8 ay Little Two Wheal Machines Will Pila Up Enormous Milaago During the Week To Start Sept. 26 Automobile Gossip. What promises to be . the greatest event in the history of the motorcycle industry this year is to take place at the Brighton Beach Motordrome, at Coney Island, N. Y., the week of Sept. 26. The event will be a six days grind for motorcycles, the teams being made up of three riders each, one rider being on the track at a time, the other two men being used for relief. That this event will be national in Importance Is evidenced by the fact that already all the leading manufacturers of the country who give attention to motorcycle racing have expressed their intention of participating in this event. Entries have been received from half a dozen or more concerns, and in many factories preparations have been under way for weeks looking to the most successful handling of teams In the race. The Indian factory, among others, has announced its intention of entering not one but two teams for the big event, one a midget team composed of the smallest riders in the race, the other a team of heavy men. Since announcement of the race was made the affair has assumed an international significance through the announced intention of several foreign teams to enter. The American automobile record for twenty-four hours is 1.177 miles. That this record will be shattered in the first twenty-four hours of riding goes without saying. It is expected that during the week these little two wheel machines will pile up an enormous mileage. Iu fact. It would not be surprising if the winning team totaled 6,000 miles for the sx days' riding. This to the average reader is nothing but figures, but when we come to put this Into a cross country picture it would mean that a relay of three men riding in a given direction would in six dajs cover a distance equivalent to a trip from New York to California and return. The latter fact will demonstrate the importance of the motorcycle as a means of covering space in a shorter length of time than thnt made by any other known motor driven vehicle. A device has been brought out in England automatically to prevent violation of speed laws, and trials have proved that the device will do what is claimed for it. The apparatus is contained in a compact aluminium box, takes up little space and works in oil. When the speed slightly exceeds the limit set it automatically throws out the clutch and, If necessary, puts on the brakes. This continues until the speed is reduced to the point below the limit, when the brakes are released and the clutch again allowed to engage. In connection with the speed stopper is a signal to indicate to the driver that he is nearing the limit. It is stated that on exhaustive trials every attempt was made to run the machine faster than the limit of sixteen miles an hour set. On coming to a fairly steep hill the engine was allowed full power, and the car instantly started to gain speed, but as soon as the limit was reached the clutch was disengaged as if by magic, and the motor merely raced until the speed of the machine was reduced to sixteen miles an hour. Tires should be inflated approximately in accordance with the following: Three inches. 50 pounds; three and one-half inches, 55 to 65 pounds; four inches, 60 to 70 ponnds; four and one-half inches. 65 to 75 pounds; five Inches, 70 to 00 pounds; five and onehalf inches, 85 to 100 pounds. FRENCH PUGILISTS COMING. Light and Middle Weight Champions to Arrive In This Country Shortly. France, which hitherto has imported American boxers freely, often to the greater profit of the latter than the advancement of the noble art of self defense, has now reached the point where she can export some. This result has been attained through the American invasion. Lightweight Champion Henri Piet and the bolder of the middleweight title. Marcel Moreau. are expected to arrive in this country about the 1st of October. : Rugby Football In California. Preliminary work for the'Rugby season at the University of California has started. Coach Schaeff er Is again in charge of the team and has Issued a call for candidates. Already over a hundred freshmen have announced their intention to try for the varsity team, and the" prospects for a good eleven were never brighter at so early a time In the year. Among the freshman candidates are men with gooe reputations, and it is thought that when the team is finally picked several of the first yearers will be found in the lineup of the varsity. Geulding's Great MHe Walk, George IU Gonlding of Toronto has made a new world's record of 6 minutes 25 1-5 seconds for the one mile walk, catting four-fifths of a second from the record of G. E. Laruer at Brighton. England, in 1904.
