Kiethley said he came to St. Louis to take a train for Chicago. When he was waiting at Union Station he was ap- proached by a young man, who said he was a Kansas City horse trader. He suggested a+walk and they had gone only a few blocks east on Market street when the woman appeared. She was young and pretty, Kiethley told the police. She wore a tight-fitt.rg tailor-made suit, was tall and slender, had dark hair and eyes. She addressed the confidence man in this way, according to Kiethley: “Why, how do you, Mr. Daniels. I have just been to the station looking for you. I missed you and thought I might meet you on the street. You know I took your suit case and over- coat to the station for you, as I knew you were going away. “And I shipped your horse to Kansas City, too. I was terribly put out about not finding you at the station, as I had to pay the express charges on the horse. The company would not ship him C. oO. D. The express amounted to $20.” “I am awfully sorry you did it,” the man replied. ‘I have just run out of money and have nothing but checks in my pocket. I'll have td look up a friend and get a check cashed, as I’}l have to get away tonight.” The woman turned to Kiethley and smiled sweetly. “Perhaps,” she suggested, “your friend could lend you $20 for a little while.” Kiethley was obliging. He handed two $10 bills to the stranger. The woman then expressed fear that she might be harmed if she went home alone, and requested the confidence man to go with her. He complained that he really did not have time, but to favor her he would go, if his friend, Kiethle¥, would be king enough to return to the station and wait for him 20 minutes. Kiethley waited two hours told the police. and then — ——____ LIMIT ON MATCHES NOT DIVORCE CAUSE California Refuses Decree to Wife Limited to Box Every 62 Days.

Kiel took the oath of office as Mayor of St. Louis at noon Saturday. The House of Delegates chamber, in which the oath was administered by Circuit Judge Leo Rassieur, waa filled with the personal and political friends of the new Mayor, and was especially decorated for the inaugural ceremonies. Kiel, who has risen from the ranks of the bricklayers’ trade, is the thirty- second Mayor of the city. He delivered his inaugural address immediately aft- er taking the oath of office, pledging himself to devote his entire energy to the advancement of the interests of St. Louls. He declared that his adminis- tration would use its best efforts to complete the Free Bridge and to carry out the other pledges of the platform upon which he was elected. Suffering From a Cold. The Mayor’s voice was husky as he repeated the oath of office. He had not fully recovered from a cold, result- ing from the exposure to _ inclement weather upon his return from Texas last Monday. The night of the election -he departed for Texas, and spent a week there in the summer temperature. When he returned to St. Louis he was met at the station by friends anid escorted to his home in an automobile. He had his hat off much of the time, and sore throat resulted, which kept him closely confined to his home. Kiel arrived at the city hall at 11:3 a. ™m., accompanied by his private secre- tary, Thomas H. Rogers, a former newspaper man; Hugh Wagner, lawyer and Republican politician, and Assist- ant United States District Attorney Charles Daues.

The warden then estimated the total loss at $700,000. The prisoners made no attempt to escape although 300 were in the prison yard at the time. The fire was due to an ex- plosion under a motor. There are niore than 1000 prisoners in the penitentiary. At 1 o’clock the twine plant, a tailor shop and the engine room had been de- stroyed. At that hour the fire was within 30O feet of the cellhouses, but was believed to be nearly under control.

Quits Game to Keep “Date.” Martin told several friends on April 2 that he intended booking passage for New York on the France, sailing April 56. April 4 he was in the company of Anderson in the evening, they playing billiards together at the Royal Automo- bile Club until nearly 11, when Martin “remarked: “Well, I must be off; I’ve got to keep a date.” Anderson laughtingly suggested he should go, too, but Martin dissented. Martin lingered in the club until 11:10 p. m., when he left the club. Martin failed to keep two important appointments and a board meeting on Friday, and Anderson, becoming informed the police of the Vine on, Picadilly, who promised to make the usual inquiries. _ Anderson. telegraphed to the steam- ship agents at Southampton and Havre, asking whether Martin had sailed. Both replied: “‘No.” Anderson sent a wireless to the captain of the France, asking him to request Martin, if aboard, to communicate immediately with him. No reply was received. Anderson intended to wait until the France’s arrival in New York before publishing his friend’s disappearance, but the news became public yesterday. Anderson and Prior said to the cor- respondent: “We don’t think Martin is dead; he is a very plausible man with much experience in | countries and is a very capable and practical man.

We have thought of 70 different things which might have happened to him. He was quite sober when he left the Automobile Club, having had only two brandy’ bene- dictines. Usually, he drank ice water with his meals, being very abstemious. “We don’t know how much money he had with him, but he probably had from $1000 to $1500, as he had cashed a check for $1000 for the expenses of his voyage.

Mrs. Kate Stoecker, president of the Stoecker & Price Storage and Auction Co., 2918 Franklin avenue, is resisting a claim in the Probate Court for $3500 against the estate of her dead husband, Gustav Stoecker. The claim was filed by Frederick A. Mayhall and is for legal services rend- ered by him to Mrs. Stoecker in set- tlement of her husband’s estate. Mrs. Stoecker testified that Mayhall tried to persuade her to marry Walter Taylor, whom she had appointed manager of wT MRS. KATE STOECKER. her business and that he offered to perform the ceremony, declaring himself a preacher as well as a lawyer. Mayhall denied that he tried to act as a matchmaker for his client and Taylor and declared that Mrs. Stoecker first spoke to him about her desire to marry and asked how it would effect her legal right to administer the estate. Mayhajl said he advised that any wedding plans should be postponed sev- eral months. Subsequently Taylor was displaced as manager of the widow’s interest and she became president of the business. Judge Holtcamp has Mayhall’s claim under advisement. The lawyer said his charge was not unreasonable for the service he rendered. He estimates the estate at about $100,000. SPEGIAL MEETING UF POLICE BOARD UN LOBBY REPORT Officials to Consider Itemized Account of Expenditures for Pay Raise Bills. A special meeting of the Police Board will be held Tuesday afternoon, to con- sider a report just submitted by the police legislative committee concern- ing the receipts and expenditures of the $5000 lobby fund, raised to push the pvo- lice salary increase bills at the recent session of the State Legislature. The report, it is reliably stated, con- tains an item of $2000 for “legal serv- icés.””’ But three words were changed in that section of the metropolitan po- lice law specifying the salaries of offi- cers and policemen. These changes con- sisted of inserting the figures $75 after the words probationary patrolman, $10) after the word patrolman and $135 after the word ‘“‘Sergeant’’ in Section 9808 of the Revised Statutes. Increases Proposed. It was proposed by this amendment to raise probationaries from $65 to $75 a@ month, Sergeants from $120 to $135 and patrolmen from $9 to $100. It was one of the simplest bills presented to the Legislature. Part of the “fees’’ for legal aid went to Thomas L. Anderson, St. Louis Ex- cise Commissioner, before his appoint- ment to that office. Anderson was op- posed to the enactment of the home rule law, under which the Municipal Assembly fixes the compensation of all Police Department employes. After the Democratic legislative cau- cus had adopted an amendment to the Bates home rule bill, giving the Muni- cipal Assembly control of police sala- ries, the police lobby persisted in its operations in Jefferson City. Attorney-General’s Opinion. Sergts. Jeans and Campbell, accom- panied by Senators Cassidy and Kinney of St. Louis, went to the Attorney-Gen- eral’s office, and there obtained an opin- fon to the effect that the police salary increases could be granted by the Legis- lature without jeopardizing the home rule police law. This opinion is said to have been given free. After a stubborn fight the salary bills were ‘beaten overwhelmingly. Ten days ago the police submitted a report to the effect that $5100 had been raised dnd $3800 expended, but gave .nv details. The board rejected that report and ordered that an itemized statement be prepared and presented at Friday's LEVEE BREAK AT LAKE JEFFERSON, ON ARKANSAS SIDE Flood Situation at Cairo Im- proved, but Lower Mississippi Situation Is Serious.

QUINCY, Ill, April 12.—Ray Pfan- schmidt Friday told the jury which is trying him for his life that he is wholly innocent of the murder of his parents, a sister and a visitor, and the burning of the farm house, and thus far his story has not been shaken by cross- examination. He established for himself an_ alibi for the Friday and Saturday nights of Sept. 27 and 28, 1912, when the State al- leges the crime on the Pfanschmidt farm was committed. When court ad- journed at 6 o’clock he was still on the witness stand under cross-examina- tion. The calling of the young defendant was a surprise, the impression |? ‘ng that the defense would try to establish an alibi for the defendant by the testi- mony of others. The defense contends that the fire at the Pfanschmidt farm began early Sat- urday evening, when Ray Pfanschmidt was in Quincy. The crowds that sought to gain ad- mission in the courtroom were larger curious ones taxed the resources of the Sheriff. ALONZO THOMPSON BURIED AT SIDE OF HIS FORMER WIVES In compliance with his dying request, the body of Alonzo Thompson, 81 years old, an eccentric millionaire spiritualist, who died Wednesday at Denver, Colo., was buried Saturday, in Belleville, Ill., beside his two former wives, in Green Mount Cemetery. The funeral services were conducted at the First Baptist Church by the Rev. P. D. Mangum. The pallbearers were Lee Harrison, W. A. Thompson, R. F. Waugh, G. A. Harvey, Arthur Heinzelman and Perrt Sergeant. The body arrived in Belleville Friday night, in charge of James H. Harris, attorney for Thompson, and Dr. W. H. Heisen, a friend of the family, who elud- ed officers of the Probate Court of Den- ver in their efforts to get the body out of the State of Colorado, to prevent the will being probated there. An order was made in the Denver court prohibiting the removal of the body or the will from the State, oa the application of Atonzo Thompson Jr., a son of the aged millionaire by his third wife. Harris ignored the papers and evaded efforts of officials to arrest him on a contempt citation at cities in Colorado along the route of the railroad. A representative of the family an- uonced at the Planters Hotel after the body had been sent to Belleville Friday night, that relatives will file a suit to contest the will of Thompson, tn an ef- fort to prevent Alonzo Jr. from receiv- ing any part of the estate. The will wili be probated at Fullerton, Neb., where are most of the realty holdings of Members of the Republican City Com- mittee were present to tender their con- gratulations and best wishes. Mrs. Kiel and her five children occu- pied seats on the floor of the House of Delegates, immediately in front of the Speaker’s desk. Many women were in the galleries. Republican City Chair- man John Schmoll, an intimate personal and business friend of the Mayor, and Mrs. Schmoll had seats in the House chamber. After the inaugural ceremonies, Mayor Kiel retired to his office and accepted the big key to the city, which is one of the decorations of the Mayor’s» desk. He was followed by hundreds of friends, who insisted on shaking his hand. After an informal reception, he was ready to begin his duties as Mayor of the city.

The body of the woman who was killed Thursday afternoon by an auto- mobile at Easton and Arlington ave- nues was identified, Friday night, as that of Mrs. Elizabeth Kelley, 50 years old, a widow, of 4006 Lucky street. Identification was made by her niece, Mrs. Bridget Creely of that address, with whom Mrs. Kelley lived. Mrs. Creely said her aunt went to visit a friend Thursday, and she was not wor- ried when she did not return’ that night, because she frequently stayed all night at the home of friends, When she read the description of the dead woman in the newspapers, Mrs. Creelv went to the morgue. The funeral will be held Monday from the Creely home. Isaac Tannon, driver of the auto truck which killed Mrs. Kelley, is held under a common law bond pending ac- tion by the Circuit Attorney. He was employed by Frank Weeke, a butcher, at 2629 Cass avenue, brother of “Hank” Weeke, politician. BREAKS FOOT, ARM, LEG Woman Washing Dishes Meets Series of Peculiar Accidents. PASADENA, Cal., April 12.—Miss Belle Sams of this city was the victim of a peculiar series of accidents, all occurring within the space of a few seconds. While washing dishes, Miss Sams dropped a soup tureen on her footw breaking one of the bones. She put out an arm to save herself from falling and struck the edge of the kitchen sink so violently that the arm was broken. Col- lapsing in a faint, the young woman fell to the floor in such a manner that one of her-legs was twisted under her and broken. ‘ —s —— --—— HOW TO TREAT AILING — CHILDREN Growing children play hard and work hard at school, which with ra- pid growth uses up an enormous amount of energy and vitality that must be replaced. When a child is tired all the time, no appetite, weak, delicate and sick- ly we guarantee Vinol, our delicious cod liver and iron tonic, will build them up, create a hearty appetite, sound flesh and — tissue, pure healthy ° blood, gnd make them strong. Mary Lang of Altoona, Pa., writes: “Ever since childhood I have been weak and delicate and my blood has been thin and poor. Many different forms of treatment did me no good, but last spring I took Vinol and now am so much stronger and better that I want you to know it. I don’t know when I have felt so well and official conduct. ‘‘I most cordially urge upon you, gen- tlemen of the Municipal Assembly, a continuation of the present splendid practice of committees from your re- spective branches meeting and treating with the heads of the executive depart- ments upon the most important issues confronting the administration, as I be- lieve much good has, and will continue to come, from this practice. “The issue now uppermost in the public mind is that of the completion of the municipal bridge. The people have expressly demanded the erection of same and have already authorized the expenditure of sufficient moneys to construct the main span. This much of the work, though completed, is in its present state useless, and it now/] remains for the present administration to furnish the means to complete this bridge. The same people who author- ized the construction of this bridge have more than once rejected plans for its approaches. There must have been some good reasons for this pop- ular disapproval, and it becomes our imperative duty to at ance learn the cause of this position of the people. We should, therefore, without delay, submit a plan for the bridge completion which will meet with popular approval and confidence. ‘Believing as I do that the granting of the Southern Traction franchises have contributed largely toward the de- feat of the several bond issues here- tofore submitted, it appears to me to be our plain duty to speedily repeal these franchises or add such amend- ments thereto as will meet with public favor and approval. ‘We should enact laws that will im- mediately abolish grade crossings; that will compel street car companies to furnish universal transfers by the near- est route, and furnish enough cars to provide seats and comfort for all pas- sengers; we should enact a law to au- thorize the construction of a subway along such route as may be found most expedient. Because these things wiil tend greatly to the safety and comfort of daily life. “Our various public institutions are a just cause for civic pride. The buildings are all in splendid repair and the in- stitutions in charge of competent and faithful officials.

They point to the police records as an evidence that the police are doing: their duty in trying to eliminate the -carry- ing of concealed weapons. The court records show, they cite, that many per- sons arrested by the police have been convicted and sentenced to the work- house or jail, and in some cases were sentenced to the penitentiary, since the law was enacted in 1909 making it a felony to carry or flourish a weapon. Armed for the Occasion. The activity of the police has resulted in keeping ex-convicts and ‘“‘gang’” mem- bers from carrying revolvers, Chief Young told a Post-Dispatch reporter Saturday. He declared that in recent ‘gane’”’ killings and shootings the “‘gang- man” had not been carrying a gun, but had. either stolen the weapon for the particular crime or had gone home and got the revolver a veesisie time before the shooting. Gang members and ex-convicts inva- riably throw away their revolvers, or “ditch” them, as they call it, immediate- ly after committing crimes, Chief Young stated. These men know that they are liable to arrest at any time, and that it is a felony to carry a revolver, he said He said that all patrolmen are given strict orders, which are repeated each : Seam 4 * aie heat Be carrying concealed weapons. Of this number eight were women. Fifty-one ““‘gun toters’’ have been arrested in the last threg months, according to the records. This shows, Chief Young declares, that the police are active in enforcing the weapon law. He said he attributes the large number of’ arrests to the ac- tivity of the police instead of an in- crease in the number of persons who carry Weapons. Chief Allender declared that recent “gang” shootings demonstrate that ex- convicts and gangsters do not carry weapons, although weapons were used in committing the crimes. “Take the case of the killing of Car- roll by ‘Red’ Simon as an example,” he said. “Simon stole the revolver from a saloon two blocks away a short time before he killed Carroll. Immediately after the shooting he ‘ditched’ the gun. Killing of Policemen Cited. “The shooting of John McDonald in a saloon was another example. The as- Sailant threw the revolver away imme- diately after the shooting. This shows that the gangster and ex-convict are not habitual gun carriers. They steal or bor- row a revolver for a particular purpose and then get rid of it at the earliest time possible after using it. ‘Take the recent killing of two police- men for other examples. Patrolman Arthur Huddleston was killed by a negro who did not carry a revolver, but the negro did the shooting with a pistol taken from another policeman. Patrol- man Louis Sehnarr was killed by George Wiggins, but Wiggins was not a hn- bitual gun carrier. He went to his h: and got the revolver a short time befor: the shooting.” Chiefs Young and Allender both rec- ommend that the law should not only felony to gell a revolver. This, make it a felony to carry or flourish a revolver, but that it should declare it a they Last Fiscal Year eee ly “ Ths CUBAN MAYOR.

YALE SLUMMING' PARTY trip ays |MILSON PROMISES DRAINAGE PROBLEM GOVERNMENT AID Message Follows Adoption of Resolution for New Depart- ment of Public Works. President D. R. Francis of the Na- tional Drainage Congress, in session at the Planters Hotel, received a tel- egram Saturday from Secretary Tu- multy stating that President Wilsoa will strive to bring about during his administration substantial toward the solving of flood, drain- progress age, river navigation and other such problems. Wilson will give earnest consideration to the suggestion for the creation of a special department of the Government for that purpose, Tumulty wired, but he hesitates to commit himself until he has studied the subject more fully. The telegram was received just as the Congress had formulated in a resolution its request that the Presi- dent and Congress establish a De- partment of Public Works, with a secretary in charge, to be a member of the President’s Cabinet. The resolution declared the belief of the Drainage Congress that it is as much a proper function of the Govern- ment to take adequate measures to control the water resources of the country so as to protect life, health and property from the controllable forces of nature as it is to protect from at- tacks of a foreign foe. Flood Control Prevision. The President and Congress are pe- titioned to give immediate considera- tion to adequate provision for flood control and the reclamation of swamp and overflow lands and arid lands. The creation of a body to co-operate with the states and other agencies is urged. “We further believe,’ the resolution reads, “‘that the wide scope of the prob- lem of flood water control, affecting practically all the states of the Union, can be best conducted under the im- mediate supervision of the President of the United States in the exercise of such authority as is conferred upon him by the Congress of the United States."’ Malarial Diseases. To combat malarial diseases which are spread by mosquitoes that breed in stagnant water left by floods, states are urged to appoint malarial commissions, the commission of the Southern Medical Association and other commissions are asked to join in the movement and the co-operation of the Federal Government is request- ed through the public health service and the medical departments of the army and navy. Copies of the resolutions are to be forwarded to the chairman of the com- mittees on public health and national quarantine in the Senate and to the chairman of the committee on inter- state and foreign commerce in the House, requesting their support. In order to ascertain the varied in- terests of the states and reclamation or- ganizations, before applying a Federal! remedy, an urgent invitation is to be sent to them to participate in a central co-operative committee, to consist of two members appointed by the existing or- ganizations. The thanks of the Congress were ex- tended to Edmund T. Perkins, the Exe- cutive Chairman. Archbishop Speaks. After Archbishop Glennon had spoken the invocation at the morning session, D. R. Francis, who was presiding, called on him to address the congress. He said he was heart and soul in the drain- age movement. The first thing, he said, was to confine the flow of tne waters to their regular channels. This work was more important than irrigation. He com- pared the Mississippi to the Nile, which provided the Roman empire with food. The Mississippi Valley was capable, he said, of supporting the whole world if the river was confined to the channel and the swamp lands drained. H. M.

The trial of the members of the Board of Education on charges of violating the fire escape law was set for next Satur- day in Judge Clark’s court today, after Prosecuting Attorney Sidener and E. M. Grossman, counsel for the board, an- nounced they had been unable to agree on a statement of facts on which a decision might be based. The statement prepared by the attor- néys agreed except on one point. Gross- man, in his statement, included Building Commissioner McKelvey’s notice to the board that it must equip the schools with outside escapes and the board’s answer, in which it said fire escapes would be a menace rather than a safe- guard. The board's reply also gave the legal opinions of Edgar R,. Rombauer and F. N. Judson that the Board of Education did not come within the scOpe of the fire escape law. Sidener objected to the opinions of these attorneys being included in the statement. This disagreement as to the facts, it is expected, will make it necessary to summon witnesses and take testimony. Judge Clark said that he will expect all members of the board to appear for trial next Saturday. Sickness alone will be ‘taken as an excuse for ab- sence, he said, and if any member of the board offers as an excuse a busi- ness engagement elsewhere his bond will be forfeited.

THE INSURANCE PROBLEM. Gov. Major calls the “bluff’ of the insurance combine. He says that no company that leaves the State on account of the Orr lew will come -back during his administration. There are two parties to this controversy and one heing the sovereign State of Missouri, the end of the com- bine to coerce the State may be foreseen. The Governor, however, accompanies his ul‘i- matum with the reassuring statement that no in- surance officer need fear the Orr law unless his company is in a pool or combine to fix rates. There will be no harassing prosecutions; and no prosecutions on technical constructions of the wording of the law. Attorney-General Barker agrees with Gov. Major in his interpretation of the law. He says he will prosecute only those who enter pools and conspiracies to fix rates. He says legitimate ar- rangements to take care of business under methods used previous to the adoption of the April 10, 1907.

The people of Detroit have approved a mu- nicipal ownership experiment on the largest Scale yet attempted in America. ‘Lacking legal authority for his municipal ownership plan, Mayor Tom Johnson resorted to tlie trustee device in acquiring the Cleveland traction system, and after a few months the ex- periment was abandoned. Detroit's traction pro- ject is a straight municipal ownership project for which full authority is granted in the new State Constitution, in a legislative enabling act and now in a city grant adopted by an overwhelming vote. The different steps in obtaining this full avthorization represent years of strenuous effort. Detroit was a leader among American cities in the study of utility problems. It had priority over most other cities in settling down to a policy of intelligent regulation and the results achieved by that policy are perhaps nowhere ex- ceeded. Despite its rush hour congestion, the ry impresses the visitor as superior to the . surface lines elsewhere—in St. Louis, ce. On a third of the mileage; com- ‘prising lines as long as the average in St. Louis, eight rides are given for 25 cents during the ‘hours of daylight. The same rate prevails on all the other lines during certain hours of the morn- ing and evening. - But with many advantages that can legitimately be claimed as the fruits of careful regulation, Detroit turns to ownership. Its traction company fm.Ro worse than those of other cities. It is a typical traction company and consequently, un- deterred by invariable defeat, it flies to the courts to resist reasonable police measures for the com- fort and convenience of its patrons, to evade the ‘payment of just taxes, to obstruct every departure from the old arrogant, unregulated days. The vote is of ominous import to overcapital- a ‘tred, ‘public-defying traction companies in St. et “ x be * European cities. ‘Lenis and everywhere.

The theory that mosquitoes are some- times infected with malaria by human beings puts the matter in a more equit- able light, no doubt, than it has been in. Dr. Evans, speaking before the Drain- age Congress in St. Louis, said there was almost no malaria among the work- men on the Illinois Drainage Canal un- til infected darkies were brought up from the South and the mosquitoes around the labor camps were exposed to the disease. This is, of course, entirely too prac- tical an age for anyone to be seriously interested in the matter from the view- point of common justice to the mos- quito. Nevertheless, a mosquito has in- dubitable rights, and one of them, un- questionably, is to be’ respected as a respectable and law-abiding mosquito. If it is sanitary and hygienic, as Dr. Evans would have us believe the Iili- nois Drainage Canal mosquitoes were, it is as fully entitled to protection from human beings who are not what they should be as we, in turn, are entitled to protection from unsanitary and unhy- genic mosquitoes. It was a courageous thing for Dr. Evans to speak for the mosquito in the way he did, and it would be a mighty ungrateful mosquito of any kind that would bite him HE KNEW HICKS. Mr. W. F. Saunders, manager of the St. Louls Business Men’s League, made a trip down the White River, in Ar- kansas, some years ago. Reaching & remote section of the Ozarks, he made camp one night near the loghouse of 4 hill dweller, That night the native and some of his neighbors talked to the St. Louisan around the camp fire. Mr. Saunders told them he came from St. Louis and asked them if any of them had ever been here. None of them had. As a matter of fact, they didn’t know ‘| much about the place, and evidently cared less. Mr. Saunders made severa! leads which he thought might facilitate conversation, but his auditors did not warm up to him until it developed that he knew Dr. Iri Hicks. At that they put more wood on the @re and thawed out amazingly. They were al! followers of Hicks and his almanac was their sacred book.

The pun of Hood is underrated, like the “wit” of Voltaire, by those who forget that the words of Voltaire were not pins, but swords. Dickens was a mob—and @ mob in revolt; he fought by the lght of nature; he had not a theory, but a thirst, r Man is merely man only when he is seen against the sky. A pagan is a person who can do what hardly any person for the last 2000 years could ,do; a person who can take nature naturally. Meredith became, at his best, a sort of daintily dressed Walt Whitman. Hardy became a sort of village atheist brooding and blaspheming over the village idiot. Mr. Hardy is anthropomorphic out of sheer atheism. He personifies the universe in order to give it a piece of his mind. Rosetti was a remarkable man in more ways than one; he did not suc- ceed in any art; if he had he would probably never have been heard of. A REAL STATE NOW. From the Kansas City Star. Missouri has gone into the business of being a real State, with a real State Government. Of course there is some complaint. But there is remarkably little. Perhaps there is just enough to show that the great majority of the people know exactly what they are doing when they demand that the states shall get into the game with the Nation and the cities tn giving real service to the people.

' Just telling you this now, so that you Me ‘ re a = —_ ss yr * By Thomas L. Masson SHOULD say not” said Aunt Mercedes, “I weuldn’t think of such a thing.’’ , We were sitting in the alcove of the dining room. I looked at Ethel meaningly. All our pians promised to fail. Aunt Mercedes was iikely to be obdurate and she haé s» much money that we couldn’t afford to v:ross her. that we were service—vh, dear, nO. @ often apoke up to her. But then you know, it sometimes pays to do this sert of thing witr. a very rich aunt; it gives her the impressicn that you : os cule—that you are noi afraid of “But, auntie,’ protested Ethel mildly, “you know he is Buch a fihe fellow, and his family is the cream of America. Why, he once taught in Sunday school, and—and—I don’t think he smokes: if he does, I am sure it Is the best tabacco. He has a fine Christian character.”’ I trembled slightly when I heard that phrase” “fine Christian character.” I was feally afraid that Ethel had over- done the thing. But she hadn’t: with @uch an &dorable voice as hers it is Ahard'to make a mistake; and she said it with an added note of depth—oh, I can't teil just how she said it, but to me ft! was perfectly grand. “Ali, my child,” replied Aunt Mercedes, Hy am afraid that you are easily de- eeived. No doubt the young man comes gf a good family—or might, if there were any good, good families today. But you don’t know the world as I do.” Considering that Aunt Mercedes was only a trifle over 3), and had never rid- den in an auto, had never been farther than Boston, and had never read a modern novel, this statement might have Gome as a shock if we had never heard it before. But we had heard it before— many times. For it was one of Aunt Mercedes’ favorite statements—a phrase on which she had learned to léan at crit- ical moments. Suddenly a singular thing happened. A -boy from the village—we knew him: he was Amos Spike’s boy—came up the walk, and Sarah, the maid, came in with a telegram on a tray. Ethel sprang wp instantly—she krew instinctively that it was for her and snatched up the envelope. As for auntie, she was 80 much overcome that she was speechiess. It was years since a tele- gkram had ever been delivered at the Gables. Ethel read the message feverishly, and almost fell over against the window- pane in her embarrassment. As for ine, T was so excited that I actually felt numb. “Well, well, claimed auntie. pense. If there is anything I hate, is sus’’—— “He's coming!”’ shouted Ethel. 3 “Who's coming?’ said auntie. Just ar if she couldn't tell by Ethel’s actions “Jack—Mean Mr. Sanforth. Oh, you mustn't blame me.’”’ she went on hys- terically. ‘‘Truly, auntie, I told him not to come. I knew you didn’t approve of it, but I thought that today I might ask you again. You fee,”’ held out the mes- sage—‘‘this is what he says: “*Your letter received telling me not _ to come; and I am coming as soon as I * can get there.’ | “Wasn't that fine of him, auntie?’ Ethel handed Aunt Mercedes the mes- gage, that she might read it for her- self. Auntie’s fingers closed ominously over the crumpled paper. “No, won't be received!’ she said firm- “Jy. “No modern young mah shall cross this threshold. I’’—— At this moment the door opened and Jack himself entered. I was quite cer- tain that he would. It isn’t in his nature to wait for anything. “Hello, Ethel! Hello, Margy!” He came forward and greeted us in a burat of boyish energy. Auntie, mean- time, had risen, and stood there, stately and firm. Jack, unconsciously, _ had dropped one of his gauntlets on the floor; it was as if he had challenged her to mortal combat. “This is Mr. Sanforth,”’ Ethel faintly. Auntie pointed to the door. “Young man,” she said, “how dare you enter this house?’ I never saw Jack appear to better ad- vantage. After all, he had his mother’s fine spirit. Besides, I have never seen ahy women yet who could quite resist that smile of his. “Miss Kew’'’—he bowed soberly to Aunt Mercedes—‘‘It was atrociously rude of me to break in on you, but it was neces- .

But, & fellow who comes from such a ‘ge Jack’s never makes a mis- } knows when to tell the truth always envied her the range of her voice. “How far has this gone?” “Tt don’t know what you mean, auntie." “Child, don’t attempt to deceive me. How much do you care for this young mar?’ “Why, Auntie, three times.”’ “How much dc you care for him? swer me.’’ At thie moment Jaci entered. Auntie surveyed him—completely. *"You have made up your mind to mar- ry Ethel?” “TIT have.” “What is your age?’ ‘*Twenty-seven.” “Have you an occupation?” Jack grinned. “I am in my father’s office.” “And who are your family?’ Jack quietly reached over to one of the shelves.

JUNGLE TALES Written for the Post-Dispatch By Farmer Smith HE Baby Baboon was sitting in the back yard of his mother’s | bungalow looking down a hole in @ barrel. Then he got out in front of it and looked into the top of the barrel and after that he crawled inside and looked up at the sky. “T’'ve an idea,” said the Baby Baboon. “rll get Jimmy Monkey and play a joke on him. I'll have him stick his tail through the hole in the barrel and I’! pull his tail.’’ So, quick as a wink he ran over to Jimmy Monkey’s house. Jimmy was busy making mid pies and setting them out in the sun to cook. “Come, quick; come, quick!” said the Baby Baboon. “I’ve got aie great scheme.”’ “What is it?” asked Jimmy Monkey, 80 excited that he dropped one of his pies as he scampered off. He followed the Baby Baboon to his yard, asking all the way over what it was, but Baby Baboon would not tell him, “Keep quiet! Hush! Don’t make « bit of noise!” exclaimed the Baby Ba- boon as he crawled into the barrel and Jimmy Monkey crawled in after him. The Baby Baboon pesked out of the hole in the barrel and then said: “Oh, look !”" “Now, you go eutside and see how far you can stick your tail through that hole,” said the Baby Baboon. “I don’t know how to do it,” replied Jimmy Monkey. “All right,” said the Baby Baboon, “T'll show you how.” Then he went outside, climbed up on the barre: and stuck his tail rsugh the hole. Quick as a flash Jimmy Monkey grabbed the Baby Baboon’s tall. “Oh! Oh!

The Wife! By CHARLES ELLIOT WARREN. President Lincoln Nat'l Bank, New York HO should handle the weekly pay envelope? Should it be the husband or the wife? To whom should fall the task of allotting the weekly earnings? To the wife, by all means. And why? Let us see. John Jones has a nice job down at the works—he is just 18 years old and he is getting $10 a week. He lives at home with his mother and father and he gives the old people $5 a week for his board. The rest he can keep. What does he do with it? He spends it on himself. He puts out his money freely on the little things which make life pleasant for the moment. But, are they lasting? John marries Mary Smith. John wants a home. John wants children. John wants to educate them. John wants to get ahead in the world, nox only for his own sake but for those he loves. John wants a comfortabie old age. John wants, In other words, to have the money he earns by real work handled as carefully as human hands can do it. Who shall it be—John or Mary? Mary, by all mean. Why? Now we get to the bottom of the matter. Much, of course, depends upon the personality of the two persons—hus- band and wife. For the normal mar- ried pair the wife should handle the family finances. Of course where the husband is a strong mind and the wife merely his shadow let the husbanc take the pay envelope; but do we find many couples like that? Let us assume that husband and wife are equal in every way. What then? The husband is out all day and gets home tired at night. He has done his day’s labor and he is in no mood to discuss household fi- ances. As a rule he doesn’t care whether meat has gone up another cent or what eggs fetch a dozen. He wants to play with the children and enjoy the quiet of his home and the society of his wife. Naturally he must have a new suit of clothes once in awhile and a pair of shoes, a little money for tobacco, carfares and lunch, It is a hundred to one that if the wife has the pay envelope untouched every week that the husband can have’ his necessities without the slighest trouble -when they are wanted. And the family account will not suffer in the least. The wife keyed up to the’ responsibility, will learn the value of money. Woma:i- ALL THE WOMEN IN THIS PHOTOGRAPH WERE ENTERING OR L EAVING THE BANK IN WHICH THEY DEPOSIT THEIR EARNINGS. like, she will be sure to prepare for the inevitable rainy day—the day when the baby becomes sick or when the doctor is needed for some member of the family. Suppose the shoe were on the other foot. Suppose the husband keeps the pay envelope, though his wife is per- fectly able to finance the household and run the family bank account. Sup- pose she wants a 25-cent handkerchief and a few spools of thread. “Can I have enough for some thread?’ she must ask her husband; or, “Can we afford a pair of shoes for me this week?” she falters. ‘Is she not humiliated? Is it fair to the wife, who does her share of the work in running the family? Is she not entitled to her part of the family income? Does not the wife earn it too? I think much of these happy results which we are getting from the wife’s management of the pay envelope is due to the disposition of the unmarried women of the present generation to bring about some financial understand- ing before marriage. Many of them, of course, have been in business themsel- ves. They feel that a spirit of co- operation should prevail-in the home as in business.

T has been said that the differ- ence between an idealist and a realist is that the word “Bermu- da” always suggests lilies to the I am not sure about that; but, somehow, the word “France” always reminds me of potatoes and green peas. There are really only two things in the world to be thought of just now, and they are—Love and Gar- dens. The call of the garden always comes upon me about this time of the yoar, along with the call of the spring hat, the call of Paris and the call of the heart. One goes to sleep dream- ing of tulip bulb, and sweet peas and lettuce and awakens with the strange fancy that the buzzing in the steam radiaor is a summer locust. Real gardens are like matrimony; they cost a lot of money and sume- times turn out heart-breakiag failures. But my garden is as per- fect as “the girl you didn’t marry”; because so far it has been located entirely in the imagination. And there ig no garden in the world like the garden of the imagination. Did you ever eat any of those de- licious little pommes de terre and pet- itpois, which are grown in the gar- dens of France and nowhere else on earth? If so, you “understand” why Paris and potatoes and peas are in- extricably inter-mingled in my mem- ory. The other day I asked a little French woman why we never see any such peas and potatoes in th‘'s coun- try, and her answer made me sit up and rub my eyes. “Ah, madame!” she exclaimed. “You have the 80 beeg potato, the so grand gros peas. Why? I tell you! Because you have the so many machineries. You make lots, lots, lots grow, and ‘make it all grow beeg. But in France & man work wis hees HANDS! He puts hees whole HEART into hee: Sarden. Voila!” Ah, yes! Voila! The whole secret of the flatness, tastelessness and dullness of modern life. We have the “so many machineries."” And no man works with his hands or puts his whole heart into anything. That so many machineries, and ‘he so many machine-made brains, and machine-made souls, and machine- made educations, and marriages, and di- vorces, and lives! Wonderful age—of fireplaces with no fires in them; of buckwheat cakes with no buckwheat in them; of children with no childishness in them; of flirtations with no sentiment in them: of houses with no homes in them; of hearts with no contentment in them. Wonderful age—when everything, from potatoes to novels is judged by bulk; and all things, from dollare and diamonds to husbands are collected and displayed by the wholesale! — a TT A very different sort of thing indited for the Post-Dispatch By HELEN ROWLAND. THE HEART ©& V ae And yet in the garden of the world it is the little things grown with hearts and hands and brain that count—count more than all the vast products of ma- chinery. The little French peas and po- tatoes still bring the highest prices in the market, and we cannot get half enough of them. Nobody is going to sit before a gas log biaze if he can afford a blue-and-gold driftwood fire. The lithographer has not crowded the real artist out of life; the phono- graph has not put Caruso out of busi!- ness: the talking picture machine has not forced John Drew off the stage; and, thank heaven, nobody has yet dis- covered a way to write poetry or make love by machinery! Quality still triumphs over quantity, and the short, rich, fruitful lives of Stevenson and Poe and Shelley still stand out above all the long, lumbering, ineffectual lives of the millions that have lived to three-score-and-ten. Oh wonderful thought! Life, after all, is not a machine-made thing, but a’ gar- den; and those who work in it with hands and brain and put their whole hearts into it are the only really “‘suc- cessful’’ people in the world.

Eight days after |MARRIAGE CUSTOMS | AMONG THE TURKS Written for the ARRIAGE is highly honored among the Turks. Mohammed said: “When the servant of Al- lah marries he perfects half of his religion.” The bachelor is looked upon as the brother of the devil. A widow almost always marries again. An old maid is taboo—she is considered as living in perpetual transgression. Hence the Turks marry early. Among them there is only one excuse for a marriage late in life—a second marriage. According to law, & man may have four wives, but each wife must be main- tained in separate quarters, and the matter of expense governs the prevall- ing sentiment favoring one wife. The Turkish woman is a free agent under the law. The wife has absolute control of her property. A man mey divorce his wife by uttering In her pres- ence and in that of two witnesses & Cer- tain form of words three times. And the wife has no remedy. This is a cus- tom which has the force of law. But divorce is unpopular. When the family council concludes that the time has arrived for the son to marry, the mother, if she has not al- ready done so, chooses a wife for him. She gets into communication with the old women matrimonial brokers who are familiar with the families having mar- riageable daughters. Accompanied by these go-betweens and near relatives, the mother visits such families. No matter what may be the private opinion of the match makers, etiquette requires them to exclaim “What a beauty your daughter is!’ The chief caller now tells of the good qualities of the prospective bridegroom and the amount of settlement to be made. Sev- eral houses are so visited, an ‘then the mother goes home to report to ur hus- band and son. The choice determined on, the g0- betweens arrange the preliminaries. The youth may not see the maiden unveiled. Veils in the East are attributed not so much to the jealousy of the husbands as to the modesty of the women. Turks regard talking freely of women as an evidence of ill-breeding. The maiden, however, is generally given a chance to see her future hus- band. The mother cunningly arranges that by taking the daughter out for a walk or a drive to some appointed place where she may see him. The betrothal gifts are usually toilet requisites. After this the bridegroom's mother visits the bride, taking wit her bonbons and several yards of re: silk, which is laid on the floor in front of the divan. Standing on this silk, the betrothed kisses the hand of her mother-in-law, who gives her bonbons, with her blessing. Half a bonbon, bit- ten in two by the girl, the mothe: carries back to the bridegroom as a first love-token. A few days. later sends a contribution father* towards the expenses of the bridegroom the bride's the to the engagement is made the knot Is tied, a civil contract, made valid by two witnesses. The ceremony takes place in the bride’s home. When the settlement has been agreed upon the bridegroom pro- claims three times his desire to wed the daughter; whereupon the priest, accompanied by the father, goes to the girl’s apartments, where she and her friends are waiting, and, after stating the financial agreement she is asked her willingness to marry this man. If she answers affirmatively the father and the priest return to the men's apartment, and when the contract is signed, sealed and delivered the con- tracting parties are legally man and wife. But before the young couple may see each other this legal sanction must have the social sanction. Some months may pass before this can take place. The wedding dress for the festivities has to be made first, and other accessories, which the bridegroom has to furnish. The rest of her trousseau, her house- hold linen, beds and utensils for house- keeping must be provided by the bride's parents. To provide the money some- times requires months. It is a point both of honor and pride to make as big a show as possible, which immemorial cus- tom makes obligatory; upon rich and poor alike. Wedding festivities last a week. On Monday the bride’s trousseau and plen- ishings are carried to her new home. Tuesday the bride is taken to the public baths. On this occasion the bridegroom pays for the baths for the party. So important is the bath among Turks that it forms an item in every marriage con- tract.

LL life has its physical basis, not in the food we eat, but in that risk of becoming part of it which is digested and cohot is a poison assimilated. digestion and proper assimilation food ef. not only fails to do good, but becomes, an agent of great harm to the entire or- ganism. The digestive apparatus, there- fore, by means of which the food eaten is transferred into bone, brain, nerve and muscle, is an extremely important one, and its health and integrity must be jealously guarded in order to main- tain a sound condition of body and mind alike. It,is very easy to abuse the organs of digestion. And maltreatment of them is very common. Both in the home as well as at the lunch counters and in res- taurants one may readily see how na- ture’s laws are disregarded to the detri- ment of health and life. The most common form of abuse is in hurried eating. Nature has placed the teeth and the salivary glands in the mouth for distinct and definite pur- poses; the former to grind the food to a pulp, the latter to contribute its fer- ment for the digestion of starches and! lutionary soldier, sugars. When eating is done slowly and | the pension roll, d deliberately the food is converted into | a pulp and intimately mixed with the | salivary ferment. When food is gulped | down it is neither masticated thoroughly ‘nor intimately mixed with the salivary | ferment. In this manner the’ first step of the di- gestive process is omitted, and an extra irden thrown on the more delicate port The result is disease, mild | i Di | gans below. first, but in coming serious, health and shortening life. Nature meant the- digestive functions | of the body to be periodic. Fating at all i:hours of the day and nigiit is injurious. ; it robs the important organs of digestion of the necessary rest. The result is irri- tation of the delicate mucous structures and the ferment glands which digest and assimilate the food. ‘Such Irritation ex- tending over months or pernaps years, is bound in the end to resuit In cai, ‘he course of time be-'! undermining the general at disease.

Referee for the Columbian Athletic obey his will. Block made his re-entry in the boxing game before the Columbian Athletic Club, opposed to a young, fresh and vigorous boxer—Art Magirl of Okla- homa, who has been actively engaged at the game and is going at his best. The long lay-off seemed to have robbed Bloek of everything but his fighting pose. The fast, shooting left and rapid right cross that once was his has en- tirely disappeared, and none was more cognizant of this after the Dout than Block. He thought, prior to last night’s effort that he had it all again, but training for a bout is a far different thing than the actual competition in a contest, and Block was fair enough to admit this when it was all over. He had no excuses to make, admitted that he had done the best he could and had failed to make good. Block’s Punches Woefully Weak. To all outward appearances Block at and the weight, 154 pounds ringside, seemed to suit him, but a close inspec- tion developed that he was in a highly nervous condition and the tension he was under probably had as much to do with his defeat as anything else. He suffered but little physical punishment from the blows inflicted by his oppo- nent, but they dulled his senbes and left him hardly able to defend himself. Now and then he made an effort to deal out blows, but Magirl either easily avoided them altogether or took them and laughed. In the first round Magirl went about his work leisurely, feeling out his op- ponent, and soon seemed satisfied he had nothing to fear. Then he tore into Block, forcing the South Sider into a corner, with Block defending himself as best he could, but in awkward and feeble manner. Penning Block in the corner, Magirl started a blow for the Referee Stops Beut "4 forcing Block around the ring, and the latter had difficulty ‘n escaping some hard swings that Ma- girl was now using with the evident intent of finishing his opponent, Near- ing the close of this round, Magir] landed a hard right hook just above Block’s left eye and the South Side boxer fell to the mat. His gloved hand was rubbing the injured spot as I tolled off the count, but he made no effort to rise. Just as my hand was descending for the final count of 10, the gong ended the round, and Block Was saved. Had the gong sounded a second later Block would have been counted out. When time was called for the be- ginning of the fourth round Block was dazed and did not seem strong enough to properly defend himself, and I stopped Magiri until I could determine whether Block was able to continue.

Peppers did this by throwing his left arm over the right glove or arm of Constant and immediately crogs- ing his right to the head of his opponent. Constant had no defense for this ani was scored on many times. Constant managed to get across some good blows, however, and one in par- ticular near the close of the seventh round, which caught Peppers flush on the jaw and spun him around. Many of Constant’s swings were wild, either falling short or going over the head of his shorter op- ponent. Constant came out of his corner for the eighth round like a young whirlwini, but was met at the slam-bang game by the little Greek, and the latter soon broke up Constant’s aggresive attack. Emmet West defeated Charlie Leyh in the preliminary by judicious use of a good left jab and an occasional right cross or uppercut. West was too fast for his op- ponent and his blows were better directed. Leyh was severely punished, while West escaped most of the hard blows directed at him by someclever footwork.

Eastern Soccer Champions May Meet Innisfails A banquet for the Innisfails footbail team, which recently concluded a fair- ly successful tour of the East, will be held tonight at Mike Whalen’s cafe, Gfand and St. Louis avenues, at which arrangements will be made to bring here the winners of the American Cup. This trophy is supposed to be emblematic of the national championship, but until the Innisfails have been reckoned with no East- ern club has an altogether clear title. The Tacony and True Blue teams, both of which played the Innisfails recently, meet today in the deciding game of the champion- ship at Philadelphia. Secretary Dooling of the St. Louis. Soccer League stated today that he expected the Innisfails would endorse the plans to chal- lenge the winners and to arrange to bring the Easterners here for games April 26 and 27. The Tacony team beat the Innisfails in the East, but lost their game on St. Louts grounds.

By W. J. O’Connor. Of the Post-Dispatch Sporting Staff. CHICAGO, April 12.—Indications this morning are that Commander Huggins the Britton brigade without having played so much as a penuchle game with the rival army of J. Evers, the keystone king. The weather man shut off the rain spigot late last night and turned on the snow chute, making condi- tions totally undesirable for the pursu- ance of the national game. Profits of the spring series are there- fore vanishing with alarming rapidity. In addition to the keen disappointment met in this burg, the Cards face further misfortune in their next series, at Oin- cinnati. Word from that city has it that the Redland field will not be ready for action Sunday unless a bright and burn- ing sun hits it this afternoon. Will Be Lucky to Arrive. Hug’s men will tack their two spe- cial cars onto the rear on a special train, which is being run for the bene- fit of a theatrical troupe. They hope to leave here at midnight, travel by way of Xenia, Ohio, and reach Cin- cinnati before noon Sunday. Considerable interest will be manifest in the next appearance of the St. Louis team. It will mark the initial turnout of Larry McLean and Jimmy Sheckard, two battle-scarred veterans who are re- lied upon to do Huggins some good this season. Speaking of Sheckard, it is well to spike a silly yarn which was born in the fevered brain of a Chicago sport- ing romancer, This man had it that Sheckard was bought by President Brit- ton to protect the Cardinal club in case Huggins should register a failure as manager. It was pointed out that by bagging Sheckard, the St. Louis club would be fortified against mana- gerial storms. The truth of the matter is that Britton opposed the purchase of Sheckard; and, although he’s not inclined to meddle, he did dip in his oar with the suggestion that Hug turn down the Sheckard deal. However, Hug promptly overruled his boss and closed the transaction with Murphy. Where Will Sheckard Piay? Sheckard is with the Cards because Huggins thinks he will bolster his out- field, but for the present Hug refuses to say in which garden Sheckard will be stationed. will evacuate Chicago this evening with S XS SSAA Oh, You Robber!

HE case of Tyrus Cobb, if pushed to extremes, promises to start anew a movement for equal suffrage for base- ball players. At present the ball play- er enjoys the same liberty of action as the occupant of a strait-jacket. Some magnates contend it’s for a similar rea- son. Ty Cobb's case, tvpical in his own mind, is of the alleged helplessness of ‘the poor star, when trying to gain rec- ognition of his rights. Cobb is quoted as saying: “Johnson has so arranged matters that not a club In the League will have me, even though I could get my release from Navin.”’ If Cobb could prove this case, he could start a ruction that might vring crganized baseball up with a short turn; for it would demonstrate clearly that he was being restrained from his con- stitutional right to work at his pro- fession. Tom Coyne and Rowan to Fight at Future City Failure to match Benny McGovern, the clever local featherweight, wiitn “Knockout” Marra, has caused Mana- ger Sullivan of the Future City Ath- letic Club to book Marty Rowan, the Collinsville welter, and “‘Sargint’’ Tom- my Coyne, the local boxer, for his fea- ture bout next Tuesday evening.

KENOSHA, Wis., April 12.—Spike Kelly, welterweight fighter, defeated Billy Walters in a 10-round bout here last night, $C Too Bad Today Is Not October 6; Browns Would Be Pennant Winners HE Boston Braves have nothing on the Browns. In fact the Stovall- ized aggregation has something on the Beantowners. They have a total of two victories against one for the Easterners and own first place in the Should the two pennant races end at noon today it would mean a World's Championship series between the Browns and Braves. Can you beat it? Why should Hugh Jennings worry about Ty Cobb’s absence when Oscar Vitt is on the job? Of course, Vitt can’t pole ‘em or pilfer ‘em like the De- mon, but as a fielder T. Raymond has nothing on Oscar. That goes, on his two day’s outing here only, however. He pulled down a couple of drives in Friday's frolic that would have made Cobb envy him. One was at the expense of Williams and the other at Stovall. Bach catch cest « Brewnie a trtpiec. That Oscar is consistent is proven by the fact that he did the same thing to Johnston Thureday. These few Aines of praise should not turn Oscar's bead. Cobb will be In center as soon as he signs. At that, Vitt turmed three swell plays. . So gee Gees ‘ . , Te ee a ee ee American League race by themselves.. Best of pais off the ‘fela pore ‘bitter rivais on the diamond. That this is pos- sible and that baseball is on the up and up was proven in the eighth round. After the Tigers had found him for four suc- ceasive blows and his wild pitch had scored the third run of the round, and with the bases packed, Manager Jennings sent up Hughey High, the 8t. Louis kid, to swing for Pitcher Klawitter in the eighth. A blow long enough to clean up the sacks would have meant a tied score and a rep for High. That he tried goes without saying. But clouted one of Baumgardner’s shoots over shortstop. Dee Walsh, who was raised in the same neighborhood and played ball with High at school, and later in the Trolley League, gave the bulb a chase. He could have let it drop and permit High to be acclaimed «a hero. But he squeezed onto the ball for the third demise and put the Tiger rally te an end. High and Walsh were out to- gether last night.

CCORDING to Cobb’s alleged yarn negotiations were on with the De- troit club whereby Tyrus would have accepted $12,000 a year, but the Big Ban was put on the proposition and the club owners told to stay off of any ggreement at greatly increased figures. There seems to be a measure of “bunk” in this, as Mr. Navin would not have to have the American League’s instructions to force him to object to paying a $12,000-a-year salary. * - + A Bas the High Salary! EVERTHELESS, it is. probable there is a feeling that concerted action by the club owners is needed to keep down the constantly growing salary list; and there is a chance that Cobb has been singled out as a shining mark for’demonstration of the owners’ stand in the matter. Can you blame the owner, Bo? * * . Ask the National “‘Comish.”’ LLEN SANGREE thinks Hal Chase is apt to revolutionize play at second pase.
