TAIL END OUTFITS HAD BATTLE ROYAL Cincinnati Defeated on Its Own Field by the Lowly Cardinals. (National News Association) i CINCINNATI, Aug. 30 Two taili end teams put up a glittering battle I here yesterday afternoon, showing the fforra that 'would be expected of a 'couple of leaders rather than from j clubs decorating the bottom of the cellar. The Reds, fresh from their Mast eastern excursion, tackled the eighth-place Cardinals with a view to putting Huggins' trailers entirely out rof the struggle for a higher position, 'but Slim Sallee, the human string.'bean, stood like a stone wall in the 'path of the Reds and blocked them -down at every turn. Gene Packard was rapped hard in two innings so the (rest of his work, which was excellent, 'went for nothing. The Reds outhit the Cards, so far las mere number of bingles was concerned, but not in effectiveness, for Uhe enemy bunched all five of their bingles just when they would do the most good, while the Reds' hits were widely separated except in the eighth round, when the one rally just failed to reach. , Both teams played great ball in the field, performing like contenders for something much more lofty than seventh place. Packard pitched brilliantly except in the two rounds when the Cards won the game. Long hits decided the contest in favor of the visitors. Sallee's corking double in the 'third was good for a tally, and Kojietchy's tremendous triple to rightcenter In the fourth were the blows that broke down the young left-hander's defense. The two lengthy walllops were good for three earned runs, and that was enough. Score and sumTary: St. Louis.. 00120000 03 5 1 Cincinnati.. 000 0 0002 02 7 1 ( Two-base hit Sallee.

HEW UMPIRE WILL OFFICIATE SUNDAY G. Fine, of Cincinnati, Takes Place of Robbins Big Game Sunday. Baseball fans who attend the game between Richmond and the A. B. C. club of Indianapolis, Sunday afternoon at Athletic park, will see a new umpire in the person of G. Fihe, of Cincinnati. Umpire Robbins' work has not proved satisfactory to the club and he has been released to return to his home In Greenville, Ohio. Umpire Fihe was recommended to the Richmond baseball club by Left Fielder Dahl who asserts that Fihe is the equal of former umpire Hanley, whose decisions while he refereed games here were very satisfactory. Members of the club say that reports indicate a banner crowd will attend the game Sunday afternoon. The event has been extensively advertised and fans from Dayton, Cincinnati, Indianapolis and other places will be here. On Monday (Labor Day) afternoon, the Richmond team will go to Indianapolis and play the A. IJ. C.'s on their own grounds. A crowd of rooters will accompany the team. The result of the West CovingtonWeidaman game at West Covington, Kentucky Sunday, will be heard with interest in local quarters because the West Covington team plays here on the following Sunday against Richmond. The game between the Weidamans and West Covington will decide the championship of that part of Kentucky. SEEK A LEAGUE DATE. The Richmond baseball club is making an effort to book the Indianapolis Federal league team for a game to be played at Athletic park later in September or the first part of October. Whether this will meet with the approval of the Detroit Americans, who play here, is not known. If the game is booked with the Indianapolis team, it will be specified in the contract that Eli Cates, a former Richmond pitcher, will hurl for the Federal league team on that date. SENATORS WILL PLAY. The Senators go to West Manchester on Labor Day to play the team of that place in the afternoon. New Paris will play Greenville, Ohio, on Sunday to decide the championship of a series of three games. Greenville defeated New Paris last Sunday by the score of 4 to 0. The Murrays, Owls and Waldorfs have not booked games for Sunday or Monday, but the Naps will play at Lynn on Sunday. ! LEAGUE STANDING NATIONAL LEAGUE. Won. Lost.

This ended the Roman empire of the west. The Byzantine, or eastern empire, founded A. D. 395. with the division of the empire by Theodosius, fell A. D. 1453 with the capture of Constantinople by the Turks. In truth it cannot be said that any. or even two, nations overthrew Rome. Rome was overthrown by the pressure of the whole barbarian world, assisted by the inherent corruption of the Reman people.

A CITY IN A GORGE. The First View of La Par Is Startling to the Tourist. James Bryce in his book "South America" gives a picturesque description of the approach to La Paz, Bolivia. He tells how the traveler who nears La Paz has a surprise in front of him if he is coming from Lake Titicaca, the usual route from the coast. At a point 13.000 feet above sea level the railway from Guayaquil meets the railway from Antofagasta. 400 miles away to the south. "From this point, called Viacha, the route turns eastward toward the Cordillera, the line climbing slowly in wide sweeps over the dusty and shrubless plateau on whose thin grass sheep are browsing. There is not a house visible, and the smooth slope seems to run right up against the mountain wall beyond. Where can La Paz be? asks the traveler. "Presently, however, he perceives strings of llamas and donkeys and wayfarers on foot moving alon

the5

slope toward a point where they all suddenly vanish and are no mote seen Then a spot is reached where the rail, way itself seems to end between a few sheds. He gets out and walks a few yards to the east and then suddenly pulls up, with a start, on the edge of a yawning abyss. "Right beneath him, 1.500 feet below, a gray, red roofed city fills the bottom of the gorge and climbs up its sides on both banks of the torrent that foams through it. Every street and square, every yard and garden, is laid out under the eye as if on a map. and one almost seems to hear the rattle of vehicles over stony pavements coming iaintly up throngh the thin air." Scotchman's Sad Loss. "As the waiter laid down my fivepence change," writes C M. In the Glasgow News, "I noticed that the topmost coin was not of British currency. It was. In fact, a French penny. I attracted his attention, therefore, wltn a motion of my forefinger and Indicated the pile of coins with a wave of my hand, which was meant to say 'What is this you have given me? The waiter bent gracefully forward, scooped np my change with a practiced hand and with a polite 'I thank you, sir." moved swiftly away. Next time I'll give the language of signs a miss."

The first prize for this race will be $100, the second $50 and the third $25. Other events for the afternoon consist of a 5-mile open race, a 10-mile race and a 5-mlle side-car open race.

The referee, who will come from Indianapolis, will hold a meeting wi.th Elmer Smith, of the local Motorcycle Club, and the judges and starters will then be decided upon. The last meeting preparatory to the event will be held tonight in the club rooms of the Richmond Motorcycle organization. The track is being improved and put in condition for the races. The superfluous dust is being removed and the track is being widened to 30 feet on the stretch, and fifteen feet at the curves. The members of the club who have raced on the track in former events always found difficulty in rounding the curves at the speed at which they wished to make, for fear of skidding. This fault will be eliminated with the completion of the work which is now going on, and the riders will be able to make better time on the curves as well as the straight stretches. The races start promptly at 2 o'clock and a record breaking crowd is expected to be in attendance. Many Invitations have been mailed to motor cycle clubs in this section of the j country, and each club, it is thought, j will be represented.

ELEPHANT COURTSHIP. Feats of Strength by Which the Lady Chooses Her Mate. When two mule elephants compete for the companionship of a female they do not forget their dignity so far as to fight for the lady. They simply face each other squarely. Then one of them pulls down a branch from a tree with his trunk and lays it at his feet. The other takes a larger branch or pulls up a big shrub by the roots and also lays it at his feet. Number one then tackles a still bigger branch, and this strange competi tiou goes on, turn and turn about, until at last the contestants try to pull down'trees wholesale, and the one who fails to uproot his tree in turn Is abandoned by the lady elephant, who has been an interested spectator of the strange duel. She goes off with the possessor of the largest tree, and the vanquished elephant retires shame faced. This trial of strength species of courtship Is very remarkable when contrasted with the ordeal of battle of most other animals and shows the highly developed intelligence of these enormous creatures. Wide World Magazine. The union of boiler makers In England has, by referendum vote, decided to withdraw from the Labor party.
