THE RACE IS A GREAT ONE WATERLOO AND BURLINGTON GO NECK AND NECK. Muscatine is Trying to Rreuk Into the Central Association News ot the Circuit. Bl'RLINQTON, Aug. one-third of the season yet to play the greatest race In the history of the Central Baseball association has begun In earnest. Six weeks ago there was little thought throughout the league that Waterloo could be headed off, and there were serious suggestions of ending tho pennant season half way through the season and awarding the flag to Water loo.

Then It was proposed to play another pennant contest for the latter half of tlie season. At that time Burlington was In sixth position with a percentage of 412, while Waterloo loomed up at the top with a percentage of Mu. It looked like a Impales Job to try to overtake her. But with renewed spirit and a change of some 'layers Burlignton began to climb stead-ly until this week, when it overcame aterloo lead and went ahead or tne champions In the race. From now on there is expectations that the race will be a nip aud tuck affair, with both teams in the lead from time to time.

It is not expected that Waterloo will allow Burlington to maintain the lead permanently, but it will strive for it and possihly take It again. But Manager Egan of Burlington, who Is not given to boasting, quietly says he Is going to win the pennant this year, and there are few people. In Burlington who doubt that he will. The phenomenal climb he has made from sixth place to first gives them confidence In his ability to finally capture the flag. Adds Players.

He has added Important strength to his team of late. Spencer Is a fine addition to tlie pitching staff. Manager Ean has also secured Pitcher Boyd from Keokuk, one of the best twirlers In tlie league. He has added to his fielding force Holstrum of Minneapolis, a heavy batter and a sure fielder. With all the recruits Egan has secured of late his team biglns to look very much like a Keokuk aggregation.

Pitch- era Spencer, Scliaaf and Boyd and In- fielders Yant and Holstrum are all old Keokuk players. Manager Boyle of Waterloon does not Intend to allow Esan to take his laurels from him without resisting some. He had gone on a scouting tour for new material and -will strengthen his team. "Snapper" Kennedy has purchased the Davenport ball park and will play baseball there next year. It Is said he has Joined forces with former President James Hayes of the old Davenport Three-! league team, and will attempt to get into that league next season.

The rumor Is also abroad that Kennedy wants to place Davenport In the Central association next year, taking the place of one of the weaker cities. But whatever "Snapper" Kennedy Intends to do with his park it Is certain that he has settled the question of Manager Egan of Burlington taking his team there. With the present boom In attendance here It Is not now believed that K.gun will want to leave Burlington at all. Muscatine Active. Muscatine is expressing a desire to get into the Central association next season.

It is a guod town, and had a chance to come in last year and the vear before, but showed llille interest. The popularity ot tne ventral association is such any city will have difficulty in getting Into the circuit unless one or the present cities desire to drop out and is permitted to do so. wuincy, ior instance, nas expiessea a sentiment concerning the Three-! league that would lead the unsuspecting to suppose that she wants to gel into it and out of the Central association. But down deep In its heart It Is believed lies a love and appreciation for the Central association that wcuid prevent its giving up lis franchise In tlie organization. As a matter of fact Qulncy Tn the Three-I would be a questionable Investment.

Manager Harry Hofer. and his Intimates know this perfectly well, and while they are drawing more people at their home games than most any two other Central association cities, they are doing so because tlie Qulncy team is a winner In tlie Ontral association, while In the Three-I league It might be a tallender with less local interest. So far as the division of the profits in the Three-I is concerned Qulncy would get very little more than It does In the Ontral and Its expenses In players' salaries alone would more than overcome that increase. "Billy'' Earl, who formerly managed Ottumwa, is said to be scouting for the Chicago Cubs. Peck Sharp of Chicago says of him: "Billy Earl caught for me in tlie Duluth team back In and Is still a capable backstsop.

Catchers surely last a long time." Former Manager Bosse of Kewanee has been engaged as umpire In the Wisconsin-Illinois league, through the advice of President Justice. Pitcher Sicvcnls of Kewanee is now managing that team. ORIGINAL OLYMPIC GAMES Participated in Only By the llest and Most Vigorous. Every few years, says te National Review, according as the moon which marked tlie Greek midsummer drew to lis full, a pilgrimage of all that was beat and most vigorous In Hellas ended at tlie little plain of Olympia. in Eiis, the small state on the western coast of Peloponnesus, a flat space, with its natural barriers of mountains and river, some fifteen miles from the sea.

Long before the beginning of the festival heralds went forlh, first through Ells, thence throughout Greece, to proclaim a truce, during which all fighting between ciiy and city, state and stale, would cease, so ss to allow a whole month of peace during which the Hellenic youth should be able to travel unmolested and unhindered from the farthest settlements of the race It might be from Marseilles or the Crimea In order to make the offering of lis vigor and Its piety to ths Olympian Zeus In Elis. The plain at Olympia was hallowed ground, dedicated to Zeus, and contained on its northern side the Altls. or sanctum. In this sanctum were the temple of that god, that of Hera, and altars 10 Dmneter and Aphroolie, and ft wa.t adorned, as time went on, with the most exquisite productions of Hellenic art. Including tlie statue of Zeus by Phidias, that same statue from which ho removed and weighed the gold In order to disprove the accusation that he had been gulllv of peculation tn his use of the precious metal.

For the rest, ss a place protected by Us special sanctity, the Allie con tained the treasure houses of many of the Hellenic states. No pains were spared to prevent the entrance of any competitors In the games who should by lack cf character or piety profane the religious nature of the festival or of the hallowed ground upon which It was celebrated. The first qualification was that of pure Hellenic blond, but no youth who had been branded by his own state for any disgraceful offense, or was known to have sinned against the divine laws, was allowed to compete. Lack of patriotism was sufficient to exclude a competitor. Thus the horses of Hieron, of Syracue, were excluded at the instance of Themlstoelea because he had failed to take part with his countrymen In resist' lug the Persian danger.

Woman Gets Ufe Sentence. KANSAS CITY, Aug. 1. Life Im prlsonment was the punishment meted out to Mrs. Sarah Mornsch todjy in ths district court of Wyandotte county, Kan for the murder of 4-yeitr-old Ruth Miller, a niece of the woman by marriage.

Mrs. Morasch sent poisoned candy through the mall to Ella Van Meter, 17 years old. a half sister of the murdered child. The older girl, for whom It was Intended, did not dk. The candy was sent, in a spirit of revenge because the girl had laughed at the woman.

Mrs. Alorasch accepted her punishment with a smile, and when asked tf she had anything to say, turned laughingly and walked to her chair. The woman Is 41 years old, at of If If In a Both of the Chicago baseball clubs expect to win their respective league pennants. The Cubs seem to have struck their gait again and are traveling so fast that It will tag Fred Clarke's Pirate to- the limit to keep up. The Giants are equally confident of winning, however.

The Cubs are now on the rood where they have done much better than home this year. At the end of the trip around the eastern circuit the Cubs mill strike New York. This series should be a memorable one. The backers the Giants are willing to wager their homes that the New York team will be the winner at the end of the series. But Overall, Rculbach and Brown are In shape, It Is l.srd to see how the Giants can take more than a half of the games, they can get that many.

Tlie White Sox are welcoming the return of Frank, Smith, who left the team a huff earlier this year. Smith has always been a strong twlrler and a winning one, but hard to manage. If he will get Into the game, and pitch the game lie is 01, uie oox nave a look In on the pennant. But It looks to the outsider that Detroit and St. Louis I would be ths resl contenders for the i championship.

The Browns have been 1 handicapped by the Injury to Powell, I who has done the best pltohlng for the McAleer crew. But the Browns appear to have an sbundance of nerve and niay come Out on top In a gruelling finish. Detroit Is playing the best ball of any team In the American league now. The demon Cobb, ably backed up by Bchaeffer, Rossman, Crawford and Mc-Intyre, ere driving the oppojlng pitchers off the slab with regularity. Ty Cobb Is to be married the latter part of the eek, and he will be absent from the line.

up for five days. Ths fans of Detroit are planning to give the Georgian costly wedding gift, subscriptions to thst purpose being taken now. The Philadelphia Nationals certainly traveled at a frightful pace on the road, winning fifteen games and losing four. The Detroit team Is leading the American league In batting, with an atferage of .204, while the Browns ars next with .262. Chicago is last, but Is winning far more than its share of games.

Fielder Jones and his men play the game wllq their heads. The Western league contest Is simmering down. Denver has dropped out of the race for the pennant. Unless Lincoln Is able to get an outfielder to put In the right garden who can bat In some runs Lincoln will be out of the race. Sioux City and Omaha are now the contenders for the first place.

If Jimmy Freeman la able to get back In the game Sioux City a grana cnance to land the flag. But Sioux City la having hard luck all the time now. In addition to having lost ths services of Freeman, the club Is weakened by the absence of Weed, and Andreas is said to be In poor condition. Omaha is going along In good shaps now. The addition of Rhodes to the pitching staff was Just the thing needed to put the club on ton.

Hasan H.ll Hollenbeck and Rhodes will pretty nearly guarantee that the pennant comes to the ttourkeltes for the second time. me sttempt to bring Hallawells snd arpenter together for a race at the 400 meter distance hae failed.

The Adsms, Charley Adams, who did such wonderful work In the box for Denver last year, Is doing almost equally well for Louisville this season, recently letting Aiuwauaee aown with four hits. There Is no disputing the fset that the Boosters are batting at a terrific clip at the present time.

It takes mighty good pitching and hard batting to beat them. The games the Des Moines team psrtici-pates in have the largest scores of any in tne league. The averages which the players have made In the home series. exclusive of the game yesterday, are as loiiows: AB. R.

CONSTANTINOPLE. Aug. 1. The situation at Adrlanople, the headquarters ot the second army corps, is giving rise to much concern. The strong feeling there against tlie sultan has been evidenced by the tearing down of placards bearing tho words, "Long Live the Sultan," while at a meeting held in the public gardens a protest was raised against cheers being given for the slUtan.

Messages received here from the provinces set forth that the army will not tolerate any trifling with the new constl-tuilon, which must be upheld In Us entirely. lrset Pasha, the former subsecretary of the sultan, and who a few days ago was given a post that amounted practically to exile, has succeeded in making his escape from Constantinople on a British cargo steamer bound for Mediterranean ports.

LONDON, Msy 1. Business on the stock exchange during the past week was naturally restricted owing to the settlement and the holidays, but the markets developed a steadier tone, especially government securities under the lead of consols, which closed 4 higher. Better dividend announcements and good weather premising better traffic returns helped some rails, but international securities weakened on selliyg for continental account, the bourses on the continent being nervous with regard to the Turkish Copper shares moved steadily upwards on persistent repurts of prospects of Improvements In the metals. This aroused Increased speculative Interest for American and British account. The business In American rails was small and confined entirely to the professionals.

The cause of the large buying of the stock was not (disclosed in the news, but room traders professed to be able to trace It to sources possessed of good Information on the property, end they followed the movement with eagerness. The showing of net earnings for the year to be disclosed by the forthcoming annual report Is said to be better than had been hoped. There were rumors also that a favorable decision of the suit to test the validity of the commodities clause of the Hepburn law Is to be exacted which would relieve the coal companies of necessary dispossession of themselves of their coal properties. These were suppositions and were not possible of verification. Encouragement over the general Improvement of business prospects was given as a reason for the move ment also.
