DENVER, Colo, Oct. .5.-It is be-
lieved here the robbers were members
of the Mccarthy gang that committed
several daring train and bank robberies
in Montana, Oregon, Washington and
Colorado. 1t is also supposed that the
man who robbed David H. Moffatt,
president of the First National banklof
this city, of SCI 200, in 1889, was a
member of this gang. TIE McCarthys
formerly lived in an out-of-the-way
place in Oregon, where they were re-
garded as wealthy ranchmen. In an
attempt to rob the bank at Delta, Colo. +,
about year ago, John Mccarthy and
his son were killed, but Tom Mccarthy
escaped.

ORIOLES TAKING 1T EASY.
SURE OF THE PENNANT AND lay
ING FOR THE TEMPLE CUP.

Cleveland Fighting for n Close Sec
Hard Push for the Temple Cup
Games-Cincinnati Third in the
Race, With Chicago Fourth and
Boston Fifth-Pittsburg and New
York Come Next, Followed by
Philadelphia, Brooklyn, Washing
ton, st. Louis and Louisville.
Baltimore's lead over Cleveland dropped
fifteen points last week, but of course, IL
will have no more effect than to make the
finish closer. The Orioles lost two out of
the four games played while Cleveland
won three games and lost none.
Baltimore is probably laying off now,
being assured of the pennant, and saving
itself for the Temple cup series. which will
be almost as hard victory to win as the
pennant was, and certainly as good
prize. Baltimore intends to win the Temple
series this year. if heaven and earth have
to be moved to do so. Twice that club has
won the pennant, only to be defeated in the
Temple series and this year the fight is
going to, be battle royal.
Cleveland is just as anxious to win and
the men say victory will almost repay
them for having lost the pennant. The
Temple series will be watched with the
greatest interest all over the country. 1t
will be played Immediately after the close
Of the league season.
There has not been a single change in
the positions of the clubs since last week.
The history of the Baltimore club, the
three-time champions, shows what can
be done with a club by good manager
and some money. When Ned Hanlon
took hold of the Baltimore club three
years ago it was, and had been for years,
tail-ender and had never even finished
well in the second division.
Hanlon went to work with a will, spent
some money for new players, and by
taking a southern trip-something no
other club did that year--got a jump on
the other clubs which they were unable to
catch UP with. Baltimore won the pen
nant that year and the two following.
and, barring accidents, will make a strong
bid again next year.
| The following is the standing of the
clubs TO date:

MIR. STARR NOT IN roLIrIcs.
Says He would Not Accept the
Trensurership Nomination.

Mr.. w. w. Starr, whose reported candi-
dacy for the ONCE of county treasurer
was mentioned in yesterdays Morning
News, states emphatically that he is not
in politics, and is not a candidate for any
office Mr. Starr requested the pubnca-
ton of the following card concerning the
matter:
Savannah, Ca, Sept. 10, 1S96.-To the
Editor of the Morning News: Sir TAX
ing no part in politics, and not desiring
to do so, 1t is unpleasant to see my name
in connection with an article in the Morn
ing News of this date. The offer to nomi-
nate me for county treasurer or any other
position by any club has never been made,
and had it been would not have con-
sidered the matter for a second. The
thought of running for this or any other
position has never entered my mind I
trust that this will give thorough quie-
tus to the report w. W. Starr"
The information published in the Morn
4, ing News to the effect that Mr.. Starr had
been offered the Endorsement of the Citi-
zens Club for that office, came from a
leader in that club, and a member of it's
we'll known committee of 100. The Morn
ing News took the information in good
faith, believing upon that authority that
Mr.. Starr had been rendered the indorse-
ment of the club, If he was willing 20 ac-
cent it. ftsFtsH 1917
