/ Low | ¢ ., Congressman Samuel McMillan Low Jonnings, - Who Every che This Year, Gets Flag ———— Kalamazoo, Mich., Aug. 5.—In spite of mud and rain the Grand Circuit meeting finally was started vesterday after being posponed twice. The condition of the track did not hamper the sport, as there were many exciting finishes and the time was good for ich geing, Lou Jennings, which had won every start thus far this season, not only was beaten in her event, the 2:09 trot, but acted so badly she wasdistanced in the second heat. Naturally she was a strong favorite over the lot. Another good thing also went astray. The Eno was the choice in the 2:18 trot, aft early clasing évent. Winning the first heat by a nose, he was taken into camp thereafter by St. Frisco, with Ed Geers driving, and ‘every time the latter finished !irst there was applause for this is the real Geers town. The 2:08 pace was rattled off in straight heats by Aconite. In the first one Ben Locanda took the lead in the stretch and|Cox had-to hustle Acon- ite’to beat Murphy a nose. Margot Hal had a big lead on the backstretch in the second heat, but Aconite over- hauled her in the last part, winning ‘by half a length. The third heat was easier for Aconite, he being in front when they reached the final straight- away. i of ew York yesterday bought the Cal- ifornia trotter, Leo Blossom, broughi t by Frank Childs.

Boxing Sharps Think Layoff Has Slowed Him and Gibbons Will Win. S Would you consider that Packey McFarland had wandered so far from ring doings in the past two years as to be grouped with the army of come- backs? Two years without drawing . on a glove is rated a pretty long time by most of the pugilistic wiseacres. especially in the case of a tempermen- cuss like Packey. Furthermiore, they say that Packey is meeting the very best that the earth affords in Mike Gibbons, with Mike holding a positive advantage ‘over Packey be- cause Gibbons has been on the job . all the time. b . In a stretch of two years a man, even though he be as great a boxer | as McFarland, will lose a lot of his “Epéed, wind and unquestionably his judgment of chin distance, McFarland ehould take-on a few trial horses first the knowing ones say, as a man must fight himself back inte form.

Pnrk'er' the Wonderful Oalifornian Sprinter Pulls Tendon in Practice. San Francisco, Aug 5.—A tinge of gloom invaded the general joy and gptimism over ‘the coming national championships of the A. A. U. here Eriday and Saturday when word was [ circulated today among the groups of athletes that one. of the greatest men developed on the Pacific coast in vears had been injured and probably would be unable to compete. Georsge Parker, the wonderful sprinter of the Olympic club of San Francisco, pulled a tendon badly during a tinre trial on the exposition:track at dusk yesterday and was so lame today that his trainer refused to let him leave | his room, Parker shares the world’s record or the 220 yard: dash with Bernie Wefers, now coach of the New York A. C, whose mark has stood since 1900, when he was starring for Georgetown. Parker stood head and \ shoulders over all sprinters in this part of the country except Howard P. Drew, the little negro, and even was expected to defeat the latter in the furlong, though not regarded as quite as fast in the hundred. He was a member of the American team that cleaned up in Austria a year ago. The injury of Parker is the first one of any consequence that has be- fallen any of the orginally favored en- trants for the championship since Homer Baker of the New Yorks Hurt himself in a motorcycle smashup three months ago. The Californian had worked out a complete schedule for his last week’s training, which included as its high spot a speed trial for the full furlong distance yester; day. All of our Millrose men had con- cluded their work for the day and gone back to the hotel before he .came to the track, but several ath- letes who were doing their work in the late twilight that prevails here- about saw his mishap. Parker shot from the mark right with the gun, picked up his running remarkable quick and was whirling along in beautiful style until just, a bit before the 200 yard mark was reached. At this point he began what sprinters call “the jump”—swinging from the long stride - to the short chop, where all form is forgotten and the man just strives with all his power to exert the last ounce’ of his speed and strength. As he made. the sudden transition something snap- ped. He nearly fell headlong and was obliged to hop along on one foot to slow down. Parker’s misfortune has caused keen regret generally, because the far Westerners had been doing so well as a body that they bade fair to give the East a hot run for intersectional homors in the games. Though the entrants from the East are fewer in number, most of them are top not-: ghers jexpected to 'be certain point scorers, so that the West really seem- ed a trifle weaker. Those who hope for. a close sectional 'battle would have preferred to see some Easterner hurt. Parker’s ill luck now makes the East appear a certain victor. TENNIS POSTPONED: Boston, Aug. 5.—The finals in_the all-comers’ tennis tournament at the Longwood Cricket Club between R. | Norris Williams, 2nd, of Philadel- phia and N. W, Niles of Boston was postponed yesterday on account of rain. ..They will be played today and the challenge match again M. E. McLoughlin, originally scheduled for tomorrow, will be, put over until Fri- day. Chicago, Aug. 5.—Rain again pre- vented the matches in the Western tennis tournament at Lake = Forest yesterday. After waiting ,until late in the afternoon, officials decided that a continuous drizzle and a wet course were too much to contend with, and called play off. Clarence Griffin of San Francisco arrived today after having ‘taken part in the tourna- ment at Longwaod. He defaulted his match in the first round and it was decided not to let him tdke part. He will probably play in the' doubles. ; MAGEE FINED $25. Pittsburgh, Penn., Aug. 5.—Lee Ma- gee, manager of the Brooklyn Fed- eral League Club, was arrested Tues- day night. He had an altercation with Harry Kramer, former press agent of the local Federal League club. . At the Central Police Station yesterday Magistrate Sweeney severe- ly scored Magee, called him a “bully” and “a smart Alec,” and threatened to send him to jail if he appeared before him again. Magee was fined $25 and costs. Magee was also charged with being insulting to patrons of a downtown hotel. EVERS SUSPENDED. Johnny Evers has again come under the censure of President John K.

More than a score of persons are Ldead. and there has ‘been a property loss of millions in the worst flood in the history of Erie, Pa. The starm broke ‘'about ¢ o'clock in the after- noon, and at 6 o’'clock there was a cloudburst. An hour afterward dams to the south gave way, and the water tore down Mill creek, a stream on the eastern side of the city. The downpour came as a climax to three days of steady rain. Mill creek, which divides the city, already flooded over its banks, became a raging torrent Wwhen the clouds opened up and swept through the city with irresistible force. Police and firemen in row- boats rescued many persons who liv- ed along the banks of the creek, as their homes ‘were sweépt from *their foundations by the' swirling waters. Many persons are missing and it is believed that fully twenty-five have ‘been drowned. Among the victims are John' J. McMahon, chief of the fire department and_Asslatant Fire Chief Michael Durney, who met death while trying t6 rescue a family from the second stary of their home.

Hexamer of Pennsyivania, presi- dent of the National German-Ameri- can Alliance. Dr. Hexumer was the principal speaker at “German Day” 2l the Panama-Pacific exposition. “What Greece was to Rome,” he eaid, “Germany in the widest sense | Is to our beloved land, wnly with the | further distinction and advantage in brought to HRome with his culture disgusting sen- home to his new family life." Saved American Army. “German Day” at the exposition was set for early August, he explained, in ib Philadelphia, ‘August 1, 1775, by CGerman churches and wsocieties de- torians to show that ar the Battle of American revolution,” Pennsylvania can army. “‘The Teuton does not derive law directly from the will of the nation,’ " the speaker quoted. ' ‘He claims for himself an inbern right which the but which it does not create and for which he is ready to fight against the world,’” Given Us by Germans, Easter, Christmas, and Sunday schools, the speaker said, were given us by Germans. “It may interest those who believe that all culture came from New Eng- land to know that the first ladies’ zeminary in the Unitea states was es- tablished by the Moravians at Beth- iehem, Pa., in 1749,” Dr. Hexamer continued. “In our educational tem. German influence has been para- raount, from the kindergurten to the university.” Asks No Political Favors. « The speaker said the German- American/ “asks'no political favors and prostitutes his votes for no one.” He said the census showea that Ger- mand had furnished “about thirty per cent. of our so-calleq foreign popu- lation, while England—which I quote without insidiousness for comparison orly—gave us about cleven per cent., including those from Wales. “Quiet in their tastes, deeply ab- sorbed in their peaceful avoeations of life, undemonstrative to thé verge of difidence, without clannish propen- sities, they have permitted their more aggressive neighbors to deny them a proper place even on the historic page.” STRIKLE AVERTED.
