The following is a clipping from the South Pacific Mail of Valparaiso: A' match that excited considerable interest in sporting circles was tnat on Friday last ifi the theatre Victoria Dbetween the negro Daly and Abe the ‘Newsboy, whose pertrait will be found on this page. Abe is the newsboy who purveys the papers to the U. S. At- lantic fleet, and owing to the men-of- war belng away in Mexican waters he decided to visit Chile, principally with the object of meeting Rojas, the Cni- lian champion, he being unaware that the latter was absent in Europe. How- ever, as he could not meet Rojas, a match with Daly, the middlewerght champion of Chile, quickly ar- ranged. Abe has a 'long string of vic- tories to his credit, and he is welter- weight champion of Panama and Cen- tral America. The result was rather disappointing, " of It Until the Foul Occurred. ; as in the sixth round, after Abe had the best of it all through, Daly got the verdict through a ‘foul (as given Dby the referee) om Abe's part, us to avoid an uppercut in breaking away Abe got the nesro under the chin with his head. Daly never claimed a foul and under these circumstances the de- cision of the referee in giving one is certainly open to questiom. A caution would have been sufficient. It was apparent-to everyone present that the “foul” was entirely accidental, and it was absolutely unnecessary as Abe at the time had his man, beaten. The first five rounds were much appre- clated by the spectators, Abe went in chiefly for left liver half jabs with the right, and simultaneously the down hook over the right ear with the left, while the negro was best with his breakaway uppercuts. Neither man was successful in finding that traly vital spot, his opponent’s solar plexus. It is only fair to the negro to add that he was not in the best of training. It is to be hoped that some further contests for Abe can be arranges, as a fighter of his calibre has not visited this country since the days of Gunner White. GAMES SGHEDULED TODAY. American Leasma.

ARCHER AND HIS ARM CCub Catcher Recites Story of Acci dent Now Part of Boseball History. James Archer, whom some calls the greatest of baseball catchers, tells in the Baseball magazine the story of the accident. which crippled his arm. as follows: _“It was in the slack winter season of 1902 and work around To- ronto was scarce. It had just got a temporary job helping out -in -a- coop- erage shop. Part of my employement consisted in placing the heads of bar- rels in a vat so that the sap could be bolled out of them. This vat was some three feet high and superheated by direct connection with steam pipes. “I had put some oak barrels heads in the vat where they were boiling and it was getting late in the after- noon, near closing time, I started to take them out. For this purpose I had & fork something like a potato digger. The floor about the vat was slippery, -and as 1 stepped forward my . foot " slipped and I fell headfirst into the vat. Instinctively, for 1 did not have time to think, I grabbed the side of the vat with my left. hand. This steadied me for a moment and saved my life, as it kept mefrom div- ing headfirst ' into the boiling sap, which esethed an bubbled black as tar. “My face went within an inch or so of that deadly surface so that I caught a glimpse of my own reflection and felt the blistering heat on my face. But that grip on the side of the vat with my left hand, while it saved my life, swung me off balance so that the only way I could keep from going bodily Into the vat was tto thrust my right arm into the boiling sap. I had a heavy buckskin glove on my hand, which protected it fairly well, but the flesh on my arm was seared to the elbow and my right leg was also scalded to the knee. ‘As soon as 1 had got my balance I rolled out of the vat, on to a pile of steamnig barrel heads and mangade to make my way to the office. I had on a tight-fitting, black jersey _ that certainly kept the heat in fine shape. One of the assistants, thinking to do me a good turn, ripped this persey off. In doing so-he tore all the skin off my arm to the elbow and agood bit of the flesh with it. The next two months I spent in the hospital, the better part of the time trying to persuade the doctors to cut the arm off. 1 couldn’t think of any- thing the arm would ever be worth to me to repay me for the suffering in trying to save it. Now that all that is past and gone I am glad, of course, that I did save the arm, but I am not sure T would g0 through such a two- months’ siege again. “If the doctors wouldn't cut the arm off I didn’t want them to touch it. I got so after a while I didn’t want any- one to look at it. But I was too tough to die then, and gradually the arm mended. That was before the days of skin grafting, and as a result my arm is pretty well scarred and ridged. It is also bent and stiffened at the el- bow. But it has been a pretty use- ful old arm to me for all that.” YANTIC age to Have a Baseball Team— Footbridge Completed and Open to Travel.

Not Surprised at France. “That France also placed herself on the side of our opponent was not surprising to us. Only too often had our efforts to bring about more friendly relations with the French re- public come_ into contact with _the expression of old hopes and with long standing malice. “The present situation arose not from temporary conflicts of interest or diplomatic ~combinations, but is the result of Il will existing for vears against the strength and prosperity of the German empire. No Desire of Conquest. “We are not pushed on by the de- sire of conquest. We are moved by the unbending desire to secure- for ourselves and those coming after us the place on which God has put us. “My government and, above all, my chancellor tried until the last moment to prevent the worst happening. “In_enforced self-defense, with clear consclence and clean hands, we grasp the sword. “To the peoples and races of the German empire my appeai goes forth to stand together fraternally with our allies in defense of that which we have created in peaceful work, Follow Example of Forefathers. “Following__the example of our forefathers, firm and faithful, earnest and chivairous, humble befors our God and ready to fight when in face of the enemy, let us confide ourselves to the everlasting Almighty, who will strengthen our defense and conduct it to a good end.” At the conclusion of his speech the emperor addressed the deputies di- rectly, saying: “Gentlemen: You have read what I bave said to my people the other day from the balcony ct my castle. I repeat now that I no longer kmow any, parties. I know only Germans. and in order to testify that you are firmly resolved, without distinction of party, to_stand by my side through danger and death, I call upon the leeders of the different parties in the house to come forward and law their hands in mine as a pledge.” Speech by Imperial Chancellor. Dr. Von Bethman-Hollweg, the im- perial chancellor, in a speech said: “We knew France was ready for an invasion. France was able to wait; we were not. A French aggression into our flank on the lower Rhine wouid have been disastrous and we, therefore, were compelled to overrule the legiti- mate protests of the Luxemburg and Bolglan governments. We shall repair the wrong we are doing as soon as our military arms have been reached.” Procedure Outlined. Bethman-Hollweg outlined the pro- cedure of Germany in an endeavor to maintain peace, saying: “From the very outbreak of tane Austro-Servian confMct we worked to confine the hostilities to Austria and Servia. All the cabinets, partjcularly that of Great Britain, used the same endeavor. Ruseia alone declared that she must have something to say as to the solution of the conflict, and therc- aised the danger of European com- plications. s soon as the first definite news was received regarding the Russian military preparations, we directed a friendly but etrong communication to St. Petersburg, pointing out that war- like measures against Austria-Hun- gary would find us on the side of our aliy: that military preparations against us would force us to corresponding counter-measures, and that mobiliza- tion would not be far removed from war. Russia assured us in fashion of her wish for peace and de- clared that she would not enter into any sort of military preparations against us. Opposition of | solemn | pe.

Americans Held in Germany. Official notice came from the Ger- man government that Americans would not be permitted to leave the German empire during the period of army mobilization, which will continue for another ten days. Conferences ~ were in progress throughout the day at the state, treas- ury, navy and war departments on de- tails of relief plans. A systematic h for steamships to carry Ameri- cans home was begun. !

The president issued a proclamation of neutrality warning subjects of the United States of their rights and d ties on account of the existence of a' state of war in Austria, Germany, Servia, Russia and France.

Price Advanced 3 5.8 Cents a Bushel | Yesterday, Chicago, Aug. 4—European buying of American wheat in deflance of the mishaps of war began today. British government guarantee against possibie losses by ocean capture of any part of the millions of bushels previously under contract to go to English ports opened the way for additional pur-, chasing. Prices of wheat leaped up- | ward to an extreme of 3 5-8 cents a bushel and closed strong with net gains of 2 1-2 to 2 5-8. All the other leading staples on the board of trade joined in the advance. According to a leading exporter, news regarding business in the grain world today was good news, except one thing, namely, that forelgn exchange bankers had not yet found themselves | able to purchase foreign bills against foodstuffs. Negotiations seeking a sat- | isfactory solution of this were in! progress. At a meeting of the Chicago board of trade directors this evening steps were taken to request the chamber of com- merce of the United States to petition | the secretary of the treasury to buy $25,000,000 to $40,000,000 of foreign ex- change, to be used to facilitate the ex- port of grain. It was also decided to memorialize President Wilson to use his Influence with the governments of Germany, Great Britain and France to have foodstyffs declared not contra- bana of war. i In addition the meeting appointed a committee to outline a plan for & new ' clearing system on exchange here re- ducing margins so that no mon ences on dally balances between profl and loss instead of the gigantic sums now required.
