ASKED FOR PIG FOOT, GOT
PLATE OVER HER HEAD

With their heads swathed in bandages
and their lighting blood still up. Amaria
DodsOn and Cora Woods, both colored,
Of North Court, were in the Police
Court this morning. Each faced q
charge Of assault, preferred by the
other. Amaria stated that she went to
an "eatin' house" 10 get a pigs foot
last night and Cora cracked a soup plate
over her head. After receiving the blow
Amaria said she picked up a sugar bowl
and promptly retaliated with a blow on
the back OF the Uranium. In view Of
the fact that the Dodson woman was
evidently the aggTessor and Cora ap-
peared to have received the worst end
OF the deal. Judge Scott fined Amaria $50
or sixty days in jail, while Cora got off
with IS fine or Is days.

DIPLOMA WITHHELD
TO RETAIN ATHLETE
Football Player Says He Was Unfairly
Marked.

CHICAGO. July 6.-Charging that the
faculty of Northwestern University has
refused 10 give him a diploma in order
that he might be retained for next years
football team, Arthur Baird, star ath-
lete Of that institution, has created a
sensation in college circles.
Baird failed in two low examinations.
The suspicion that something was wrong
finally entered Baird's mind, and now he
firmly believes that he was not treated
fairly
When Baird was elected captain Of the
track team some OF his schoolmates said
in a jocular way: I'VE can't afford TO
lose Art. Wen keep him here by not
letting him pass his examinations"
Baird's letter preferring the charge
continues: Noticing that one Instructor
would not give me credit for the work
due me, / reported the matter to Pro-
fessOr WigmOre. Professor Wigmore re-
fused TO interfere or investigate. saying
that what the faculty had done was ipso
facto correct. This has led me TO believe
that there was collision among three
professors 70 keep me from getting a
diploma in order to compel me to return
to college another year. that the foot
ball team might have another player.

studies IN which | have been unfairly

examination in those studies. No mat
ter what this may result in, / am

Athletic Director Butterworth said Il
believe Baird is unwaTrantably grieved
over hts failure to graduate and that the
assertions he makes are groundless."
The faculty deny the charge.

ED DEL EHANTY STILL
oAWOWG THE SNZSSLWC

American League, and that is that if
there are any internal discussions in it
and there must be many-its officials
have sense enough TO keep them from
the public.
The twelve-cIub consolidation scheme
was the first ripple on the unrufied wa
tiers of harmony. Ban Johnson sprung
that scheme. and whether it was for ul-
terror motives or not, he bambooZled
Garry Hermann into focusing all the
limelight on himself. and IL took all
kinds of public denials to set the matter
right before the public.
Hermann threw up both hands and
said the hot air thrown out about il
astounded him. And yet, with the ex-
perience gained by that hot-air fake,
Mr.. Hermann was again putty in the
hands of the willy Ban IN the Davis mat
ter. President Pulliam was sighted and
ignored. His official position was ieop-
ardized, or threats made to make 1t
seem SO. and again Mr.. Hermann came
to the front. or was forced there by
Ban Johnson. as the prospective base
ball Moses.
1T is New York's big receipts and the
surprising success of the Giants that
have caused the attacks. and is nothing
but jealousy. Fortunately, President
Pulliam showed himself to be something
more than paid employee
The interests OF the National and
American Leagues are not identical:

ton whenever the opportunity offers.
Peace means the reduction of players
salaries. and that is as far as the false
sentiment of harmony goes. Under such
conditions 1t behooves the magnates of
both organizations to cling together; to
have team work, that they so much harp
on to their players. II is now as it
was before the peace pact was signed in
Cincinnati-the survival OF the fittest.
