ATTEND BALL GAMES

New York Justice So Rules in Suit Of
Woman Struck by
Foul Tip
By Associated Press.


NEW YORK, June 2O.-Persons who
attend baseball games do so at their
own risk, according to a decision just
handed down by Civil Justice Nc
Laughlin in a damage suit brought by
a young woman who claims to have
been injured by a foul ball The COM
plainant was an enthusiastic admirer
of the game. On September 8. 1904
while a spectator at game on the
Polo grounds between the New York
National club and the Bostons. a foul
hall smote her on the nose. The doc
tors saved her from permanent disfig-
urement, but suit was brought for
damages in the sum of $500 against the
New York clubs management. The
complainant's counsel asserted that the
management was responsible for every
thing that went wrong on the grounds
and that the woman's injuries were
clearly due to the lack of proper safe
guards. The justice, however, ruled
that those who entered the grounds did
so at their own risk.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 20.-If the
pun be not too atrocious. it might be
said that Pitcher Hit was all that
his name implies in today's baseball
game at Oakland between the Seals
and the Angels.
The lad from the brush was on the
mound for Uncle Henry and aside
from a bit Of wildness in the opening
innings, he twirled a splendid game
of ball, allowing Morley's men but
three safe hits during the nine frames.
In addition to this laudable work
in the box, Hit copped off a timely
single and won his own game. Both
at that crucial moment and at the
times when he was dishing up the
bends himself he made hit"
In the fateful eighth, Parke Wilson
slammed a nasty one down Brashear's S
way. Brashear fumbled and Parke
was safe on the error. Gochnauer laid
one down at the plate and reached the
initial while Goodwin and Spies were
extracting themselves from a tangle.
Wilson stealing third. Hit hit, Will

Pitcher Hall went out of the game
at the end of the third inning with a

FOUND DEAD IN BED
WILLIAM B. KEPP1ER RECENTLY
RELEASED FROM PRISON.

Warden Harris of the TAIL received mes
sage from Poughkeepsie. N. Y. this morn
Ing telling him that William b. Keppier.
who was recently released from prison here,
had been found dead In bed in hotel In
that city. The information was comnaun:.
Gated to Capt. Boardman and he imrnedi-
ately wired the Poughkeepsie authorities
for Information respecting Kepplers death.
doubling IL he had really died. He thought
that Keppler had caused the message to be
sent in order to induce the police here to
abandon their search for him.
s Keppler Is said to be the oldest man ever
arrested in this city for passing worthless
checks. Detectives Tyser and Weldon ar
rested him the 18th of December last and
held him for passing checks for small
amounts on Max Goldman. George w. Har-
vey and Patrick Walsh. At the time OF his
arrest he gave his age as seventy-nine
but that he had come here from Brooklyn.
N. Y.
/, When taken to police headquarters he pre-
sented such a fine appearance that the
police did not put him through the ordeal
of having his photograph taken. They
now regret that his photograph was not
taken. as they want him on the charge OF
having passed worthless check since his
release from jail. It Is claimed that he
passed a check for SIS upon Henry Good
man. who is in business at Pennsylvania
avenue and 18th street. Shortly after Mr..
Goodman made complaint about having
cashed the worthless check the police
learned that Keppler had been seen about
the city. Since then they have been on the
lookout for him, but 1t was not until this
morning that they learned anything to In
dictate his whereabouts.
