So many banks think they can pro-
fitable use a portion of Secretary
Shaw's $40, 900, 900 that it is doubtful
if it will go round and those that get
left will have to take it out in making
life pleasant for the Secretary of the
Treasury.
President Roosevelt has at last taken
action likely to hasten the steps of the
extraordinarily and exasperatingly
dilatory district attorney for the dis
trict of Columbia, who, with his as
sistant, has been the cause of much of
the delay in the postal scandal.
The news that an automobile design
ed to run eighty miles an hour has
blown up, recalls Sidney Smiths
famous grace. When invited by his
hostess to ask the blessing, Mr.. Smith
glanced around the table and then
exclaimed, "What, no ministers pres
ent. For all things Oh Lord make us
truly thankful"
1t looks as though the German

In Paris the girl had been free from

And now he was in London, his
fame having preceded him, and Mark
Jermyn, the celebrated pianist, was
announced to make his debut before
the most critical audience in the
world. Success had not spoilt him,
and he remained the same modest man
that he had held Elsie's hand in his
two years since; deeply, madly, in love
with her still. Several times she had
written to him, and with her last let

faced the eager crowd that evening.
The performance was a success.
Mark Jermyn's reputation was more

National league baseball was the kind
served by this little twO-team league at
Walkers field yesterday. 1t was by far
the snappiest game seen on the local dia-
mond for many d day There was Just
enough hitting to make the game inter
esting from the start until the finish, and
the Fielding was remarkably clean and
fast on both sides It was strictly an in
field game, and the pitchers did more
assisting than the rest of the teams COM
bined. POp-up flys were taken in by the
fielders hot off the bat. and the ground
ers that came their way generally found
their way down to first in time 70 retire
the runners.
The local team in the fifth inning COM
pleted one of the greatest triple plays
even seen in the state, and seldom
eQualed in the big eastern leagues. In
fact. it was the first tnfield triple ever
made IN a Utah league game In the
fifth. Spilman reached first on Whiting $
muff of Cooks throw from third. Scott
sacrificed, sending Spilman to second
and reaching first himself on Whiting 5
second muff- MahOney then came up
and attempted to sacrifice, but bumped
uD a little fly that looked perfectly safe.
The ball twisted into foul territory be-
tween first and home, with Camp after
it on the dead run.
He surprised every one by catching the
ball about six inches above the ground,
and, turning. whipped it to first to Whit
ing, who threw it to Egan at second be-
fore Spilman could return on his triU
to third, completing as pretty a trip -
PLAY had much to do with Salt Lake
winning.
With the bases filled in the sixth and
TWO men out, Merkle let a grOunder
from Byrn's bat slip through his legs,
allowing two runs to score.
Camp and Fullmer were the opposing
pitchers, and both of them pitched a
great game. Five hits were made off
Camps delivery and seven off Fuilmer-
but the latter struck out seven men TO
Camps one. Only one base was given
off balls by each pitcher The summary:

John Weiss Gets Three Wounds From
Policeman's Billy.

As the result of a clubbing given him
by Special Officer J. F. Cory, John
Weiss, a German cook, who was found
in the Rio Grande yards this morning,
had to have a doctor to sew up three
ugly wounds in his head. His scalp
was laid open in two places and his
eye badly cut by the officers billy.
Weiss declares that the beating was
entirely unwarranted.
According 10 the story of Weiss, he
was at the depot preparing to go to
ogden. Cory found him and ordered
him out of the yards 'fI told him I
would go if he would let me. He told
me not to talk back to him and then
began to beat me-" The club cut one
cash in the top OF Weiss head over
two inches long and another more than
al inch in length. The third blow
struck him in the corner of the right
eye. cutting the flesh to the bone. The
police were called and Weiss was taken
to the police station, where Dr.. Stew
art sewed up his wounds.
Cory claims that Weiss threw a rock
at him and he had to strike him with
his club to arrest him He states that
the man was trespassing on the rail
road property.

Ball Must Touch Runner.

In Boston the left field fence backs on
a railroad track As consequence a lot
of empty tin cans and other debris are
often found about the bottom of the
fence.
Cleveland was playing the Boston nine.
Jim McAleer came to bat for the Ohio
city He knocked a long liner TO left
field and the ball rolled up under the
fence and straight into an empty tomato
can.
Hugh Duffy now captain Of the Mil
waukee Western league team. was field
ing the left garden for the Beaneaters.
He grabbed the can and tried wildly TO
dig the bah out Meanwhile McAleer was
running to second. Finally, growing des-
perate, Duffy threw can and all over to
third base. from which McAIeer had just
started for home. The third baseman
hurled the can inclosing the ball to the
catcher and the latter touched the run
ner with IT,
There was q loud protest from the
Cleveland nine. and the umpire finally
decided that McAleer was safe and the
run must count because the rules pro-
vide that the runner must be touched by
the ball
