THE CASE OF JACK DOYLE.
President Wagner's Course in the
Matter Has Been Right.

The article in yesterday mornings
Times, setting forth the real facts in the
much talked of Doyle case, caused con-
siderable comment in baseball circles.
The general opinion was that President
Wagner had adopted the proper course
and was by no means deserving of CEN
sure. 1t has been suggested by writer
that Doyle be compelled TO play here.
What is to be gained by such course?
Which is the better plan, to compel Doyle
to play with the Senators, noiens yolens,
as suggested. or dispose of him in a way
that will enable the club owners TO secure
a competent man TO take his place? If
certain suggestions were adopted the
team work of the club would be seriously
disturbed, dissension and discomfort
would naturally arise and the patrons OF
the game would become disguised. Ii is,
therefore, plain that the course Mr.. Wag-
ner has concluded 10 pursue is the proper
solution of the question. Aside from this.
Mr.. Doyle has not laid himself amenable
to the discipline suggested. He never
said that under no circumstances would
he pay ball here. II satisfactory arrange
ments for his transfer cannot be made
he viii play here and will give the club
his best services and it will not be neces-
sary TO resort 10 drastic measures TO com
pei him 10 do so.

THE MORNING GAME.
WrfgIey's Costly Error Gave the
BrookIyns n Victory.

Forty-eight hundred disappointed fans
walked out of National Park yesterday at
the end of the morning game. The sena-
tors played a good game and should have
won They would have defeated the
Brooklyns, too, if Wrigley had not made
a costly error at a critical point in the
ninth inning. Mercer and Dunn both
pitched effectively.
The visitors started the run getting in
the third when they tailed twice on
Ryan's base on balls, Dunn's successful
bunt Griffin's sacrifice and Jones's single
to center.
The home team scored one in the fifth
on RietZ's two-bagger, Wagner's out and
Myers's drive to left for two sacks. Two
more runs came home in the eighth on
singles by Wagner, Wrigley and Mercer
and Myers's and Selbach's outs.
In the ninth INNING La Chance reached
first on close decision and Tucker flew
out to Gettman. Hallman then pushed
an easy grounder to Wrigiey, affording
an excellent opportunity to end the game
with a double play, but zeke pulled off
an error and both runners were safe
Shindle sent another one to Wrigley and
forced Hallman at second. The fans
breathed easier. But Magoon, the next

ONE MONTH FREE :!
A Proposition, Never Before Equaled in It's
Liberality, Made by Doctor Cowden for the
Health and Benefit Of the People Of Washing
ton and Vicinity.

This offer is made with a view of de-
monstrating clearly and in a forcible
manner the great advantage of taking
treatment for all chronic diseases during
the Summer months.
Regardless of the expense and labor
involved in carrying out such a project,
no pains Will be spared-in in giving each
and every patient such attention as is
necessary TO a positive and permanent
cure
1t is needless TO state that this offer
viii be eagerly accepted by all thoughtful
and economical people desiring the great
benefits of a method of treatment that
cures where all else fails Time and
again Doctor Cowden has urged that two
or three months treatment is Summer
viii accomplish, in most cases, more than
five or SIX in Winter. All who have suf-
fered from Deafness, Catarrh, Asthma,
Bronchitis, Lung Troubles and other
chronic diseases know that during the
Summer months. Nature herself has
given them some relief. The chances for
taking fresh cold repeatedly are greatly
lessened and the natural vitality of the
system, instead Of being exerted TO with
stand acute attacks attempts TO throw
off the fetters of the chronic lingering dis
eases. II is but reasonable TO assume
therefore, that with the best medical
treatment under such favorable circum-
stances recovery in all durable cases is
assured
Doctor Cowden's S offer ola months treat
ment free is made as an inducement TO
the afflicted TO take advantage of the
present favorable season OF the year to
rid the system of disease poisons and re-
gain health. Il will appeal to the good
sense and judgment of everyone Ii is
an offer which no one suffering from any
chronic disease should allow TO pass un-
accepted.
Here is Doctor Cowden's offer:
To every new patient beginning n
course of treatment before August
I, and 10 every old patient renew
ing treatment before that dnte. he
proposes to give during the course,
one months treatment and medf-
cines absolutely free.
This is not trial treatment II is not
a charity. 1t is a fair square, business

CHICAGO, June l4.-Au interest on
the board Of trade centered on the do
ings Of Joseph Letter and the results of
his famous big deal in wheat. A tre.
mendous slump in prices was generally
attributed to immense sales for him.
According to one authority, Mr.. Letter
ordered all his trades closed ont at the
opening Of the day 8 transactions in the
wheat pit, and it was stated that at
least 5000 900 bushels Of wheat were
liQuidassd Tor him in the Chicago mar.
kes alone. The severest breaks in
prices, however, were in the North.
west. whore it was said Letter had his
big lines.
!. Cash wheat in Duluth went OF 10
cents. and in Minneapolis II cents.
Halt IN hour before the close, Letters
sales In Chicago were placed az high as
lO,00O. 600 bushels. His brokers, Allen
b Grisr. transferred June wheat to

Fifteen minutes before the closing
bell rang on change, the tickers had q
report that Letters cash wheat would
be trusteed. Il was said that the bank.
ers who had made advances on it had
agreed to take care Of Il.
During the final moments Of trading,
Joseph Letter was at the Illinois Trust

that he would not make an assignment;
that his options had been hquidated
and that his cash wheat would b

July wheat in Chicago closed ct 70
cents, against S6 cents at the finish on
Saturday. At one time July was down
TO rs cents. September closed at u
cents, loss of 3 cents as compared
with Saturday. During the day Sep.
tember went as low as 69L cents.
Letters wheat interest has been
turned over to q board Of trustees, who
viii settle up the deal. This course
was necessary on account of Mr.. Lett.
er's inability to put up margins which
were called for.
Joseph Letter admitted that his
father had Withdrawn his support.
