TIM KEEFE OUT.
Resigns as Baseball Umpire Because He
Is Disguised with Players.


Resigns as Baseball Umpire Because He
Is Disguised With Players.
st. Louis, July Slim Keefe, the
once famous pitcher for the New York
club, has resigned his place as a Ma
tfonal league umpire. He is Disguised
with the methods employed by baseball
players to win games.
In speaking of his case, Keefe said:
MY sole reason for leaving the field
yesterday and for then and there de-
termining to resign my place is that
baseball has reached a stage where it
is absolutely disgraceful. 1t is the
fashion now for every player engaged
in a game to froth at the mouth and
omit shrieks of anguish whenever a de-
cision Is given which is adverse to the
interests to the club to which he be-
longs. This may not be wearying to
the general public, but it is certainly
disgusting to the umpire who gives
decisions disinterestedly and as he sees
the plays
1.-THE continual senseless and puerile
kicking has been infinitely trying to
me, and / have been considering for
some time whether I had not better
resign. I can apparently please no.
body I have no immediate plans for
the future I shall first of all return
to New York"

at $50 o'clock last night on the tracks
of the Long Branch division Of the Cen
trail railroad, in the cut between First
and Second avenues. The head of the
girl had been severed and the body was
almost without clothing, The girl when
found had on only pair of stockings
and shoes.
The girl left her home to so to the
grocery near by at Z o'clock. What
she was doing on the tracks in that
lonesome place is mystery to the au-
thorities Foul play is suspected.
1t is believed that the girl was entlc-
ed to the lonely spot and was trying TO
escape from her assailant when struck
by a train The fact that her clothing
was so torn from her body and the I'M
frequented place where her body was
found caused much excitement. Some
believe that she was assaulted and her
body thrown on the track.
The girl was remarkably well devel-
oped and pretty. She was fond of go
ing to picnics and balls. She was a
great favorite.
The cards OF several well known
young men were found in pocketbook
she carried. The coroner will hold an
inquest and the police are hard at work
on the mystery.
