Houston Bowlers Have Helped
the Game Materially.
Says the St. Louis Star: The special
matches arranged between a team of
cocked hat bowlers from Houston and a
local toam la a step in the right direc-
tion. It has long been the desire of the
promoters of the popular winter game
to mako Intercity and Interstate : con-
tests a feature of the regular bajwllng
aruson. Lack of organlxation up to a
couplo of years ago however prevented
any such arrangement. Different rules
such as the length of alleys slac of balls
used dead lines etc. made the various
games differ widely in vital points and
it was found next to Impossible to brln
teams from different sections of the coun-
try together under the same set of ruli-s.
When the National Association of
Cocked Hat Bowlera waa organized it
St. Loula the Texaa bowlera were quick
to aee Its advantuges and lent a holping
hand. Since then the Texas games hai
Improved 60 per cent and three-pins In
every part of the country have been
J laced on a more substantial foundation
t is . to be hoped that the Houston-St.
Louis contest is only one of many of
similar contests. It not only creates
added Interest In the sport but gives it a
atanding which It could acquire in ua
other way
"Battling" Nelson's Victory Was
a Surprise.
"Battling" Nelaon ;nore Hurt sun-rlsed
hla Chicago friends by deflating Amelia
Herrera In 'their twenty-round beitle at
Butte says George Slier. While credit
for being a hard and .rouKh-and-n i iy
fighter with capacity fur -punishment
more than la generally oniA n a toy
of his weight was given the "Battler" it
was the opinion of local fight followers
that the Mexican would be a bit too
olever for him and that he would slip his
right hand over on Nelson's Jaw hard
enough to Bend him down and out. This
It was thought wus the one lone chance
Herrera had of winning and as he had
brought hln right over on Benny Yanger
and numerous other fighters it waa ex-
pected he would sneak It In on Nelson
And In fact he did but there was hardly
force enough behind it to keep the "Bat-
tlerV down lot good. Tho local boy's up-
set came In the third round early enough
In the game to score another but the
chance of so doing never came to Her-
rera again with the result he was beaten
decisively.
Reports of the battle say it was by
long odds the best that ever took place
In Montuna and its mtcome aurprieed the
Butte sports as they really considered
the Mexican Invincible.
The victory makes Nelson the most
formidable 130-pound fighter In the coun-
try and the only legitlm ite aspirant for
the championship of that division The
title in that weight claas la now in pos-
session of Jimmy Brltt but It appears
Jimmy as well as "Young Corbett" both
of whom Nelaon la after are keeping In
the background regarding a battle with
the Chlcagoan. Herrera as was to be
expected asked for a return match
which NelBon agreed to give him pro
vlded he fights and defeats the winner
of the oft postponed Abe AUel-"K.ld"
Goodman contest. Pending that the
"Battler" must rest on his oars unless
Brltt or Corbett show a disposition to
talk shop. -

The Turf Idols Are Not Stayers.
Gunfire hi the latest Idol to be do-
throned In the eyes of the racing pub-
lic. There is already long list of has-
beens now on the turf page of the pres-
ent season.
There la Waterboy McQhesney Irish
Lad Africander Major Dslngerrield and
ethers. Waterboy end McCheaney will
proljably never corns back to their fhrn
Nor will Irish Lad cr Hernia. New
champions must be found. - '
American horses seem ft tender tot.
They hava on good season and then.
It Is a case of. scratch them from the
list. . . -

are vtjr f-.w that give any promise of
belna- 'rood 4vearlrti. Ort W-
i'ellea end
Brvomstlrk Wre probably the best of the
year yet there IS no telling how they
will finish out the season. They may
turn out to be good 4-year-okis and '
again they me.y not.
Nor is the t-year-old division equally
promising for the reason that a major-
ity of the best youngsters are fillies and
fillies as a rule do not train on and
hold their form. Beldame is un excep-
tion. Judging by the present outlonk. next
see son Is not eseeeliillv peomlsine In sny
one of the divisions. Two-year-olds mar
develop well for turfmen siy that the
crop of yearlings 1 especially fine and
perhaps the best I't'lng may be seen in
that division.
- If McCheaney. Wsterboy. Mermls. Irish
Lad. Lord of the Vale end others In the
handlcao division had held their form
rls-ht through the season this would have
been -one ef the grandest years racing

HOLD-UP AT LETTS
FIVE MEN STOPPED TRAIN
ON ROCK ISLAND.-
Express Car Safe Blown Open
and Robbed Claimed Was
No Money in the Safe. '
(Associated Preas Report.)
Des Moines Iowa. September II. Five
bandits perpetrated a successful hold-up
of a passenger train on the Rock Island
railroad near Letts shortly after mid-
night this morning. The statement of ex-
press men are that they securtd no
money though the sate was blown open
and the contents taken the. officers as-
serting that the safe contained mor-
rhandlae of aome value but no money.
Three special trains on which were
poaaes of railroad and express employe
and a number of officers wore rushed to
the scene of the robbery.
The engineer and fireman of the train
furnished pretty accurate desoriptlone
of three of the men.
The robbery occurred at H:0 a. m. at
place known aa Whisky Hollow about
six miles out of Muscutlne. The train
known as No. II. is a through Chicago
and Kansas City train. The robbery was.
at the end of a sharp curve and exactly
where a slntllur hold up was engineered
two years ago by the Chicago car barn
bandits. The engineer as the train
rounded the curve. Immediately stopped
the train. Immediately th engine ex-
peas car and baggage car were boarded
by the rolrbers apparently five In num-
ber. A fusillade of shot a were fired
alongside the train to prevent Interfer-
ence by passengers. The messenger of
tho express oar was compelled to open
the doors. The ear safe waa dynamited
and the contenta taken after which the
engine crew waa compelled to return to
the passenger coaches the engine cut off
and the robbers mounting It run it west
through Leila and to within two mllea of
Columbus Junction where the engine waa
left standing on the track. The manner
In which the robbers handled the engine
their knowledge of the fact that Letts
was a closed station nt night and the
selection of a point contiguous to Colum-
bus Junction to abandon the engine con-
vinces the engineer that the robber or
some of them are experienced railroad
men.

(Assocluted Press Report.)
Chicago. September 13. -A reward of
11000 was offered today by the Rock
Island railroad and the United States Ex-

gers or Jewelry.
(Associated Press Report.)
Kansas City Mo. September lS.-Th
Rock Island passenger train that wag
held up end robbed near Letts early till
morning reached Kansas City nearly
seven hours late. According to state-
ments made by officials of the United
States Express company here and by the
express messenger on the train the rob-
bers were poorly paid for their risk se-
curing no money or jewelry. The passen-
gers were not molested. Superintendent
Ross said:
"The robbers secured practically nothing
of value Messenger McGuIre had all his
vsluables in the small Iron box which
we have Just examined. The safe con-
tained nothing but some packages of not
very expensive Jewelry and none of this
was taken. The robbers seemed to want
nothing but money and there was none
In the car. Very little money is being
sent by express now."

the matter of continued organlaad re-
slatane to the wag reduction. All man-
ufacturers agree that th feeling among
operatives I alowly undergoing a change
but It haa not yet reached a atago where
It eould be prudent to reopen the mills.
Many of th workers have said since La-
bor Day that they do not aee the wisdom
of remaining out on atiike any longer
but they ars not the organised operative

The talk of an attempt to epeu ih

and Prealdent Bordea still repeat nta
view that th mill can not be opened un-
til the first of October at leaat. There I
nothing In the state of the market to war-
rant any attempt on the part of the mills
to run the risk of provoking trouble at
the gates and In the present temper of
the union help there la evsry probability
of trouble should any Individual plant be
started.
