Jurges, of the Chicago Cubs, the players of both sides rushed for one another free-for-all.

FAMOUS HORSE BEATEN
AGAIN THROWS JOCKEY
Golden Miller, who, until he contested tho Grand National was the most popular racehorse in the country, was booed at Liverpool races on the day following the classic steeplechase.
He had been excused his lapse in the "National," for which he had started the hottest favourite on record for the race, and was an oven-money favourite for the Champion Steeple- chase.
Instead of re-establishing his re- pulation, he further tarnished by making a poor jump at the aret fence. He wobbled on landing, and for the second time within 24 hours he throw Wilson. Wilson his Jockey, G. encapud injury, Golden Miller was
