Henry Alfred Douglas Schultz, whose home is in Geisenheim on the Rhine. near Wiesbaden, and whose temporary quarters were changed Monday evening from a room and a bath in the Hotel Jefferson to a cell and a bench in the Four Courts holdover because the local police received a telegram stating that he is wanted in New York for grand larceny, was badly bitten by mosquitoes, an “army of which infest the calaboose. “Just look at that,” said the prison- er Tuesday pointing to the huge red spots which literally covered his soft, white hands and face. “The mosquitoes were something terrible down in that place. I put handkerchiefs over my face and hands, but I could not stop them."’ “What is your father’s name?’ asked Chief of Detectives Desmond. “Carl Schultz.”’ “Where do you get the Douglas end of your name?” “What is a story. Listen. My grand- father was a Scotchman and his na:e was Douglas. He went to Germany and married a lady named Schuitz.

I don’t know just how closely I'm related.”’ In answer to further questions, Doug- las Schultz said his father is in the wine business and makes 100000 bot- tles of wine a year, selling them at 50 cents apiece, his shouldcors father’s capital?’’ “T don’t understand.”’ “What is he estimated at?” Capital Is 100,000 Bottles. “One hundred thousand bottles a year.” ‘What have you to say about the charge that you stole $1500 from the wafe of Henry F. and Louis C. Mouquin, fn whose restaurant you were employed _ at 149 Fulton street, New York City?” “O, poodness, nothing at all. I nev- er did such a thing,’ replied the pris- oner indignantly. ‘Besides, I was not émployed in the restaurant. I was connected with the office. I had ac- céss to only one of the safes, but I never took a cent. I always had plenty of money. They were paying me between $25 and $36 a week. I was well liked by my employers. They are friends of my father. But I could not wet along with the clerks. They are all French and they did not like es because I am a German.

DAVIS OUT OF THE GAME Rohe Will Cover Short for Sox in Today’s Championship Contest, CHICAGO, Oct. 9.—Pxcitement over the first baseball game to be played this afternoon for the world’s cham- bDionship between the Chicago teams of the National and American Leagues was at fever heat early today. Al- though the gates to the ball park were hot opened until noon, there was a Crowd in line at the ticket office as early as 8:30 o'clock. An hour before the ticket office and gates were opened thousands of fans, both men and women, began to col ect, and at 12 o'clock it was cons°rva ively estimated that 8000 persons were in line. FIRST SNOW UF SEASON IN TWO STATES

The rooting even at this hour was such that one could hardly hear himself talk. Every man, woman and c'id carried some sort of a colored flag, ad the grounds were Mberally~ deco-a ed with bunting, making a beautiful effect®. At 1 o’clock the Cubs, in new uni-! form, appeared from _ the clubhouse. | There was great cheering. The Cubs got into practice at once. ; At 1:30 o’clock the American League | champions entered the grounds. The | ergwd cheered them vigorously. At | the same time a man with a cornet} stepped up to the home plate and’ Played “There Will Be a Hot Time.” . The rooters joined in. Every meém-! new suit. The team soon got into practice. It was officially announced that Rohe would take the place of George Davs shortstop for the White Sox, who is no: in good condition. Despite every effort that has been made for the accommodation of a rec-" ord-breaking attendance, it is prob ibls that many thousands will not be able to gain admission to the games. Over 20,000 general admission ticke‘s will be placed on sale at double the usual rates, and it {s believed these will be exhauat- ed within a short time. Ban on Speculation, A strong detail of police has been placed at the National League Park, where the first game will be played to- day, and although every available inch of pace will be used for the accommo- dation of spectators, it is sald by Ct ief of Police Collins that the crowding wlll not be allowed to approach the danger point. Instructions have been Issued to the police to arrest every person who en- deavored to purchase more than six tickets, the aim of the police and of the managers of both clubs being to prevent speculation in tickets as far as possi- bie. The weather does not promise to be the best possible for baseball. It is cloudy ang dark, with a strong breeze from the north, which makes heavy overcoats a necessity to those who are to sit out the game in comfort. A slight snow fell shortly after 11 o'clock, The Lineup. The game will comemnce at 2:30 o'clock, and the Lr peams | order for the teama is announced as follows: cRI N- NATIONAL— Hofman cf, Sheckard If Re oe rf, Chance 1b Steinfeldt 3b, Tinker as, Evers 2b, Kling «, Brown CURSE OF DRINK IN COURT.
