FARGO FOOTBALL.

Fargo Call: AS the agricultural
college football schedule is arranged
at this time, the first game will be
played here Oct. II when the Valley
City normal team will be here. When
seen last evening Coach Dobie stated
an endeavor is being made to get this
game for next Saturday, three days
earlier than was planned. There are
obvious reasons for this. On account
of the lack of stiff opposition in
practise games, the coach fears that
experience will possibly come at the
expense of the teams record. In get
ting the Valley City team here next
Saturday there will be week before
another game is played, and in this
time of many of the weaknesses that
show up in the game can be cared for,
and when Carleton college is taken on
Oct. 90, the team can make creditable
showing.
I'VE have a first class bunch on the
first team" said Coach Dobie last
evening to Call representative, but
it is impossible to get much more than
half out of a team till real stiff games
have been played. The material in
the first team is fine, and by the time
we have played a game ! think that
We will be in first class shape. The
lack of a strong second team handi-
caps us some, but that will be over

more completely than any other pitch
er in the American league. He pitches
easily, but he has excellent control of
the wet ball."
Even without the splitter" Ortiz is
great pitcher, for years of exper-
fence have made him a willy boxman,
and his knowledge of the batters is
such that he seldom is hit hard. Not
only is he a good pitcher, but he is
a good ballplayer anywhere. He can
play the outfield. and he is a good
batter
In games he pitches he is never re-
tired to allow another man to bat in
his place, for he ranks as the best
hitting pitcher in the league. He won
a game for New York Friday with hit
when the bases were full and two
men out in the ninth inning. Previous
to that he had rescued Chesbro and
stopped a Chicago rally. He went is
again Saturday and gave a splendid
account of himself until his arm sud-
denly failed him.
Ortiz began as a pitcher in the old
Indiana State league. He broke into
the National league with the old Phila-
delphia club, which then included La
joie and Ed Delehanty. He remained
several seasons with the Phillies, al
ways pitching good ball When the
American league expanded and an
nexed Washington. in 1901. Ortiz cast
his lot with the Senators. Though
pitching for tail ender. he did good
work, but was considered only an
ordinary pitcher until he was traded
to New York in 1904 for Tom Hughes
and Billy Wolfe. Since then he has
become an exponent of the damp
delivery" and has had much success
with it.
Had the Yankees accorded Ortiz all
the support he deserved he would have
a much better record than the figures
now give him. He has not pitched
bad game this season, and has lost
quite a number OF hard-luck games.
On one western trip he was beaten
by three clubs. though pitching good
ball, because of errors and lack of
pinch hitting behind him. On this
trip he pitched a one-hit game at
Chicago and last l to 0. the hit not
counting in the scoring of that one
run.
AS an emergency slab artist Orth
has been of great value to the Yankees
this season. More than any of the
other pitchers he has been called upon
to go to the rescue of a twirler in
distress, and on many such occasions
he has saved the game

regarding the charges submitted by
Senator Foraker:

crooked work was supposed to have
been done. Then turned the charges
over to the department of justice and
received note saying that they would
receive attention.

Associated l'rrss to The Ev~niug Ti,neA
Toms River. N. j.. Oct. 1.-THE trial
of DR.. Frank Brouwer. charged with
the murder of his wife, was begun
here today. Mrs. Brouwer died in
September. 1905, after an illness which
was diagnosed at first by her husband
as cholera morbus. Two trained
nurses called to attend Mrs. Brouwer
declared themselves dissatisfied with
the treatment administered by DIR.
Brouwer and withdrew from the case.
Another nurse was employed and DR..
h. NJ. Cate was called in consultation.
DR.. Cate retired from the case, but
later signed a death certificate, setting
forth that Mrs. Brouwer died of
Bright's disease.
Soon after the funeral rumors be-
gan to spread that there was some
thing suspicious about Mrs. BrOuwer's
death. Besides the fact of the retire.
ment of the nurses and DR.. Cate 1t
was also said that there had been
quarrels between DR.. Brouwer and his
wife over the administration of her
parents estate. 1t also was rumored
that Mrs. Brouwer had been jealous
of one Of the doctors woman patients
and that this had caused a disagree
ment between the couple.
Trevonian f. Hyer of Long Branch
a brother of Mrs. Brouwer. heard of
these reports and finally began ar
investigation. The Metropolitan Life
Insurance company, in which Mrs.
Brouwer was insured for $1,000 in
favor OF her husband refused to pay
the policy and also began an inquiry.
AS a result of these Investigations the
body was eXhumed Dec. 10 and an
autopsy was performed. That Mrs.
Brouwer's death had not been caused
by Bright's disease is said to have
been the unanimous opoin:on reached
by the physicians.
The digestive organs were removed
from the body and sent to DR.. Genth
of the University of Pennsylvania for
an analysis. DIR. Genth is said to have
reported that he found traces of
arsenic and what was supposed to be
ground glass in the stomach. The
grand jury found an indictment in
January charging DR.. Brouwer with
the murder of his wife and he was ar
rested.
Public feeling has been aroused to
a marked degree by what has come
to be known throughout a large part
of the state as 1.-The Brouwer case."
and in some places. particularly in
this country. the line between Mr..
Brouwer's accusers and defenders has
been sharply drawn. One outgrowth
OF this is fund of $4,000 which has
been contributed by the accused mans
friends to aid in meeting the costs
of the defense.

whose Mercedes is to be driven by
Jenatzy. MIR. keene did not bring
over any extra cylinders for his
racer. as he thought the spare ones
he already had here for his last years
machine were of the same size. When
he made Preparations on Monday NOR
ming to replace the set of cylinders
that had cracked. he found that the
extra ones he had were too small for
his new car. Jenatzy brought over
several sets of extra cylinders for
Mr.. Graves racer. and .Jenatzy has
expressed himself as willing to let Mr..
keene have one OF them if Mr.. Graves
would consent. The consent has been
refused by Mr.. Graves. according to
a statement made yesterday after
noon by Robert Fulton of the local
Mercedes firm. Mr.. Keene told Mr..
Fulton that he was quite willing to
take the pair of cylinders with the
express understanding that he would
return them TO Mr.. Graves up to the
time of starting the race. should they
be needed by .Jenatzy through any mis-
hap 10 Mr. Graves machine. and re-
tire from the contest himself. Mr..
keene said Mr. Graves had refused to
let him have a pair of cylinders be-
cause he feared he might need them
for his own racer.
Louis Wagner. with one of his twin
100 horsepower Darracq racers, made
astonishing time over the 29.71 miles
course Thurs day morning. The new
racer is painted robbins egg blue with
black stripping and has v. Snapped
radiator. The wheel base is very
short. Sc inches, and the racer is
mounted on wire spoked wheels with
detachable rims. 1t is by far the most
striking in appearance OF any of the
cup candidates, and when the twin
cars were left out in front of Broad
way garage on Tuesday afternoon be-
fore being driven to the course under
their own power they attracted so
much attention that it was necessary
to have mounted policemen clear
way for them through the crowd that
had gathered.
The motor is finished in red baked on
black enamel and all Of the trimmings
are nickel plated, which called forth
the remark from race driver that thu
cars were polished like high priced
gun. The exhaust pipes are led into
larger pipe. which discharges the
spent gas under the car so it does
not blow into the faces of the driver
and his mechanic.
Wagner made two rounds from his
quarters at Glenwood, but his time for
the two rounds could not be learned.
He was timed for one pound from the
"hairpin" turn in less than IS minutes,
but several of the volunteer clockers'
brigade at Krugs caught him for
round from there in - minutes Is
seconds. This performance became
all the mere wonderful when Wagner
told of being compelled to come to
dead stop twice in the round. Once
was when he had to stop when pass
ing the point where Lawwell met with
his accident and the other time was
when big touring Car was standing
across the road near the "hairp!n"
turn. There was report that Wagner
had said he thought he could make
round in 22 minutes. but this could
not be verified

until the season opened at Aqueduct.
Jockey Was Dead When He Won Race.
Last month, at race meeting
held at Arias, on the Rosario railway,
a jockey named Mario Olivia took part
in one OF the races. When half the
course had been traversed the specta-
tors were Mortified to see him swaying
in his saddle as though he had lost
control over his mount. He retained
his seat, however, and his horse, which
passed the winning post first, at length
stepped of its own accord and turned
suddenly. Then the jockey fell from
the saddle-a corpse. The general
opinion was that Olivia had been dead
some time before the race was won.
