South Howard Street taMMBmaanaaanMaaaaaannBinanBapa nxT2 Saturday's game between Akron and Kent promises to bring out the largest crowd of the year- The teams have now played two of the five games and it has been an even break. Fotts or Bracken will do the pitching Saturday for Kent.

If Potts goes In the box he will likely realize before the game is over that he is not twirling against the Pittsburg National league team. Potts has not been a hard problem for Akron teams and if he pitches there would be few surprises if he were given his "beatings." Kittinger will do slab duty for the locals. Kavanaugh will be (back in left Jield. Kavtnaugh's return to the game means the benching of one of the players. It is a question in the minds of many as to whether it will be a good move for Motz to return to the bench and allow Bedur to go on first again, lotz certainly plays a great game at the initial sack.

Bedur has been playing' great ball in right field and has Improved in his hitting. In the opinion of many of the fans it would be a good idea to have an outfielder adorn the bench and keep Bedur in right and Motz at first. WRIGHT'S GREAT FIELDING. Concerning 'Gene Wright's battle with "Rube" Waddell at St. Louis Tuesday, the St.

Louis Republic says: "Although defeated- "Big Gene" "Wright, McAleers baby twirler, covered himself with sufficient glory, in a fielding way to satiate the pride of the most ambitious pitcher. "In the first inning he was the pivot on-which revolved a triple play, the first of its kind ever pulled off at Sportsman's park, the second triple play made this season and admittedly one of the prettiest pieces of fielding work ever witnessed in Louis. "Wright was in good form and sent five of the 'champs' down over the 'three-strike' route. "His neiding was sensational. It seemed impossible to drive a ball through him.

"In the first inning Wright started play that will ever remain a vivid motion picture in the minds of the enthusiastic base ball fans who saw It. "With 'Topsy' Hartsel on second and 'Ollie Pickering on first. Lave Cross met one of Wright's benders with a sweeping swing. "With such, force was the ball hit that Hartsel and Pickering mechanically' started to run. Before they were in full flight sometning happened.

"Wright reached out his gloved hand in the hope that it would interfere with the ball's progress. Wright's hope was more than realized, for the ball stuck in his glove. "Like a flash he turned and threw the ball to Wallace, who touched second and whizzed the sphere to Anderson. "Bewildered, both Hartsel and Pickering stopped still. Not for several seconds could they realize that they had figured in one of the most sensational base ball plays of a decade.

"The effect on the fans was electrical. In an instant every' person within the inclosure was shouting like a howling1 dervish. Even the telegraph operators and newspaper men, who have become accustomed to brilliant plays, joined the fans in their applause." "REDS" GET WARREN PITCHER. Leon Ames, who was a member of the pitching staff of Warren last year and whose home is in Warren, has been added to the pitching staff of the Cincinnati team. Ames has been pitching for the Ilion, N.

team in the New York State league and has been winning the big majority of his games. EQUALED THE RECORD. At the second day's races of the summer meeting of the Rockport Driving cluti Wednesday, the track record for trotters, was equaled by Par-thia, the favorite in the 2:20 trot. There were three races on the card, and all of them were interesting. Teddy R.

Saturday wU be the last day's play In the approaching and putting contest for the Leavitt cup. The Portage team will go to ToungEtown Saturday, August 29, to play the Youngstown golfers.

BROKE THE RECORD. York. Aug. 2U. Dan' Patyh broke the world's record yesterday for pacers by pacing a mile in 1:59 at Brighton Beach.

It was a most magnificent performance and seemed an impossibility, the wind and track considered. Thei was a stiff breeze blowing, which stiuck the horse fairly in the lace. The track was a little slow, but the efi-'ect of the wind was discounted by sending runner ir. front, while the second vii Kullupfv alongside. In view cf Hie uJvc.ise ruiuiition the ut was niuile that he would g'- cguinbt the track letord of but would also try to beat the champion record of hfld since ls8 by Star Pointer.

When the unbeaten pacer, for Dan Patch never Jost race, appeared on the track, he was loudly cheered, and after a few preliminary warming up miles he got the word. With a swift, fvictionless stride he shot from the wire and seemed to be determined to push his nose into the flying sulky in front of him which the thoroughbred in the fhafts was steadily pulling ahead. On evf pt the famous pacer to the quarter Tlie Board of Review is Pre- paring It. WILL HELP THE AUDITOR. It Will Contain the Names of All Property Owners, Location and Value of Their Property and Other Interesting Facts.

The members of the Akron board of review Thursday morning began work entering the names of every owner of a new building that has been erected in the city during the past year. The book when completed will be one of the greatest books of reference now in the auditor's office, and will greatly aid the ward assessors and the county auditor in their work next year. The book was arranged for convenience in the state auditing department and is complete in every detail. It gives the property owner's name, the location of the building, the character of its construction, tlie date of Its erection, plat and dismenslons, the tax duplicate description, the cost reported by the owner, the tax valuation as fix ed by the assessor, the cost by board of review, the removals deducted by the board, additions by the board, and the net amount of the tax as fixed by the board. The New Buildings.

The new buildings in every ward in the city are entered in one oook. Many of the ward assessors this year neglected to secure the month when the new' buildings were built, but the year is given in every instance. Next year the assessors will be given more definite instructions, and the date of the erection of every building will be secured. While it is known that the amount of the increase on the tax duplicate will be very large the board of review has not yet figured it up, and will not do bo until the last few days of its session. A member of the board said Thursday morning that at this time it looked like much of the work would remain unfinished, if it was not granted more time.

TOTAL (OST OF NEW JAIL IS $97,879.63. It is Now Complete In Every Detail and is Recognized as a Splendid Structure. The magnificent new county jail is at last finished in every respect, the finishers having just completed their work, and the only thing that now remains to be done is some grading about the grounds. The contract for the construction of different parts of the building were let by the county commissioners separately, and although this delayed the work considerably the county is the gainer by thousands of dollars, and the result is that Summit county has one of the finest prisons in the country at, a cost that is considerably below the estimate. A local paper filled much space "knocking" the commissioners, stating that the cost of the jail would be greatly above the architect's estimate and would probably be $150,000.

Many people believed this, but the board of county commissioners figured up the total cost of the building this week in order to pay Architect F. O. Weary the balance due him $364.63 for drawing the plans and specifications and the figures show that the total cost instead of being $150,000 as) the "knockers" claimed, is $97,873.63. Mr. Weary's total bill for furnishing the plans was $4,893.95.

The board of county commissioners are being commended for the excellent judgment exercised in letting the contracts and although the work was necessarily delayed the cost of construction was greatly reduced, and Summit county has a Jail that her citizens need not be ashamed of, and which is favorably commented upon by visitors to the city. CALLERS AT CITY BUILDING, DISAPPOINTED. Many people who called at the city solicitor's office Thursday morning for information regarding street assessments and other matters of law were disappointed as the city solicitor and his assistant are both out of the city. Mr. Beery is spending his vacation in some quiet place unknown to the officials of the city building, and where he will not hear a single word about paving contracts and street assessment ordinances for several days, while Mr.

Kenfieid is at Chardon, O. BOSTON STORE. THE GREAT FACTORY END SALE ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON, FROM 3 P. M. TO 4 P.

Many Said to be In Operation at the falls. The County Officials Notified Mayor Young: That They Must be Closed Up He Promised to Take Action In the Matter. Cuyahoga Falls is "wide open" at both ends and in the middle this week. Everything goes in the ancient capital of Summit county during carnival week and the citizens are looking on aghast and helpless, and wondering what will come next. Games of all kinds are said to flourish in the village, and a large gang of Cleveland gamblers are reaping a rich harvest from that class of citizens who will never learn that it is very bad policy to bet their money on another mi's trick--' In one prominent saloon on Front street there is a chuck-a-luck layout that has been doing an enormous business, while in many other saloons it is said that the sportively inclined citizen can get action on his wealth generally back action.

Thursday morning complaints began coming into the sheriffs office and to Prosecutor Hagelbarger because the games were allowed to run. The prosecutor ordered Deputy Sheriff Ralph Hamlin to investigate the matter and to notify Mayor E. M. Young that if the gambling in the village was not stopped by the municipal authorities that the county officials would take a hand in the matter. Deputy Sheriff Hamlin immediately called' up Mayor Young by telephone and informed him of the reports.

The mayor said that as far as he knew no game were being conducted in the village, but if it was discovered that there was any gambling that the games would be stopped and the owners of the "lay-outs" would be placed under arrest. Prosecutor Hagelbarger said that the village authorities should be given the first chance to make the arrests and it was their business to see that the laws were not violated. PAYED STREETS. Council Arranges for Several o( Tbem. At a special meeting of the council Wednesday evening ordinances were passed authorizing the board of public safety to advertise for bids and go ahead with the improvements of East Market street, South Main street and Ira avenue.

Scott, a carpenter contractor of Cleveland, lost his life on the C. P. tracks in Cleveland. The police believe that there has been foul play as there are several suspicious circumstances connected with the death of Scott. The place where Scott was killed is lonely, and from the manner in which thi body was mutilated it is believed that Scott was killed and then placed on the track.

H'is watch was missing from his pocket. FAMILY REUNION WAS A MOST ENJOYABLE AFFAIR. The 14th annuul reunion of the Baughman, Harter and Waltz families, held at Lakeside park Wednesday afternoon, was a most enjoyable affair.

Fournier has challenged Oldfleld to a 100-mile race on track or road for $10,000 a side. This is his reply to the offer made by Bar-rey Oldfleld to allow him $3,000 expenses to visit this country and engage in a series of races with the mile track record holder, Fournier says: "I have been inclined to think that the deft of the American chauffeur is no more serious than those which we have received from time to time. It's a bluff. In my famous match with Alexander Winton, the American designer repudiated it after having had all the good he could get free from it. The American chauffeurs seek as much publicity as possible without coming to the scratch.

They hurl challenges at Janatzy, Gabriel and me with the sacret hope that the gauntlet will not be picked up. "Barney Oldfleld desires to measure speed with me and promises a match of five miles for a prize of $3,000, if I consent to cross the ocean. But a race of five mile3 proves nothing. This is what I. propose to Oldfleld: I have al ready decided i to cross the ocean.

I do not need a $3,000 Inducement. I hold myself at his disposal for a race not less than 100 miles on a track or on i road. The stake shall be $10,000 a side. I have no hope, however, that OldfieM will answer." JEFFRIES TO MEET MUNROE. New York, Aug.

20. Jack Munroe, the Butte miner heavyweight, the only fighter that ever obtained a decision ever Champion Jim Jeffries, is happy-over the glad news from Kan Francisco that Jeffri'-s had consented to meet him. Munroe said nothing would please him better than the chance to fight the big champion again. "I am glad that Jeff has consented to fight me," said 'Munroe. "I will meet him or his representative any time to bind the match, I will even go so far as to bet him of my own money, which shows how confident feel that I can beat Jeff." Munroe.

immediately after the receipt of the message from Jeff accepting his challenge, telegraphed to Harry Corbett, matchmaker of the Yosemite A. of San Francisco, offering to abide by any terms that Jeffries may suggest. N. 0. 1.

Forseleateil Druggists Sl.OO Der bottle. Bold by E. STEINBACHZa It CO. 35c l'l0 90999 99 Walter H. Maxwell, the proprietor of the Palace and Stng hotels in Cincinnati, four days ago instituted an innovation at the Palace.

He posted a notice that any guest who was dissatisfied with any feature of his entertainment in the house could obtain his money by registering a "kick'' at the desk. The four days have not yet disclosed a complaint and the innovation is making a hit among the traveling men and hotel men generally. "That's Maxwell all over," exclaimed Jacob Bienizer of the Empire, When told of the new scheme. "Maxwell is always springing something different. He's president of the Ohio State Hotel association and also of the Cincinnati Hotel and Restaurant association and one of the most popular men in the hotel business." Maxwell and Iirenizer ire known among hotel men a dupli-.

tes, both being of the same height and build and with the same full beard and appearance. Many people mistake cine for the other and these mistakes furnish much amusement at the gatherings of the etate association. C. II. Vance, general manager of the Buckeye Fertilizer company of Columbus, was a guest at the Empire Wednesday night.

Mr. Vance was in the city on a business trip. The Buchtel continues to be the house of entertainment for foreign traveling men. Beginning the week with Frank Tange, the popular Japanese tea Ealesman, a New York rug salesman of Turkish parentage is now registered at the house. L.
