Gray.
Three of the umpires had trouble
Thursday Owens row in Topeka was
pretty big feature, but the Sedalia-
Springfield game at Sedalia and the
Leavenworth-P ittsburg double-header
at Leavenworth, both have plenty of
claim on the high-water mark for bad
temper. At Sedalia Volney Moore, who
was discarded as a pitcher early in the
season by Topeka, was handling the
indicator. He made a close decision on
a slide to second and Mig PerTine, who
plays that station for the Midgets
threw the ball at him. Moore lodged
in time to escape an injury. He
promptly fined Perrine and sent him
from the grounds. At Leavenworth the
trouble had more the aspect of a fight.
Pittsburg was making the effort of its
life to beat the Orioles, but failed twice
in one afternoon. MacLear, the Pr
ates' shortstop was called out at sec
ond by Umpire Regain on a very close
decision. MacLear is scrappy. His
manager, Baldwin, ran out on the dia-
mond to bring him to the bench, for
fear he would start trouble and be put
out of the game. Regain saw Baldwin
and called him to the middle of the
diamond What are you doing out
here2" asked Regain. None of your
business retorted Baldwin. TIL make
it my business" said Regain Get to
the bench" II don't have to- an
swered Baldwin. The two parleyed
around and things looked good for q
fight. Then Regain called for a police
man to eject Baldwin from the
grounds But no copper could be
found. Get out" commanded Regain
again. Wont do it, replied Baldwin.
I'm going to report you to Shiveley
for going to a saloon across the street
from the park and boozing with the fans
between games. Get OUT yelled Regain
again. The grandstand then took it UP
and began yelling to Baldwin to get
outside of the fence. go to -'' yelled
Baldwin at the crowd. The grandstand
got up en- masse and started after him.

The Way to Walk.

A friend who leads very active life
has theory that the preservation of "a
good figure depends to some extent on
the manner Of walking. Many people,
she says, as they advance in years al
low themselves to walk heavily and
without elasticity, so that the whole
weight rests on the lower part of the
limbs at every step, the only effect OF
exercise being WEAKNESS Of the legs
and feet. Instead Of this the body
should be held erect and poised so as
to have a perfect balance. In this way
the muscles are braced and strength
ened throughout, the lungs must of ne
cessity be well expanded, and it seems
quite reasonable to suppose that the
tendency to increase of weight may be
checked. At all events, a lighter step
and n brisker and more enjoyable man
ner of walking can be kept NJ. and
that in itself is a very great gain

The Davenport gentlemen who are
| investigating the extent of :. +.
Smiths embeZzlement of the funds of
the estate of which he was trustee
have raised their estimate Of his short
age, which they now think Will reach
100000. This means that his Daven-
port friends who were on his bonds
here viii lose that amount. minus the
assets that they can save out of the
wreck. The raising of the amount OF
the shortage to six figures is the re-
suit of disclosures which are happen
ing every day which show that Mr.
Smith only admitted about half his
shortage when he made his first con-
fession. For instance. il is understood
that in the Kaiser estate. which Mr..
Smith asserted was practically intact,
and in which ne originally claimed
there was no shortage. the investiga-
tors find that there is practically
nothing left. Instead of $4,000 col
lateral in the Kaiser strong box it is
said they found only about $4,000 of
paper of rather questionable charac
ter. down in the bottom where it had
apparently been overlooked by Mr..
Smith The shortage in this estate Is
therefore placed at$27 600 instead OF
$1,000. which Mr.. Smith had claimed
at first was a very liberal estimate.
The Sheaf estate hows a shortage of
at least S25. 900. according to report
instead Of the $4,000 originally esti-
mated. So il looks as if the figures of
100000 was not too large. More I'M
welcome than even the revelation of
these discrepancies in Mr. Smiths
trusts. however. have been the discov-
