PETIT WILL PLAY
NO MORE BALL

The diamond will lose one of its
star catchers of the old school
should "Heinie" PETIT, the veteran
catcher, not recover from the knife
thrust administered by a mysteri-
Gus woman at Cincinnati the other
day If Pietz knows who the wo-
man was that stabbed him he will
nto tell. The blade passed close to
his heart. The doctor says if he
RECEIVERS he will probably never be
able to play ball again.
Peitz played many seasons with
Cincinnati, but was traded to Pitts
burg for Eddie Phelps, a younger
backstop. He is one of the best
men in the business when it comes
to handling young pitchers. He
never loses heart when the game
seems going wrong, and he fought
for virtory till the last man was
out. PETIT was a fair batsman.

LONDON, March II. Princess
Soltykoff," the most remarkable
adventures who has appeared in
Europe for many years, has been
sentenced to IS months imprison-
ment for defrauding a hotel.
She is the daughter of a poor
Cheshire joiner, and her career of
crime was due to the fact that she
had passion for posing as a mem
Der of the nobility. That she often
succeeded is due to her aristocratic
type of beauty. She is cultured and
refined appearing.
The princess has become an al.
legged convert to Mohammedanis m
and her oath in court was taken in
a spectacular manner. In the wit,
ness box she removed her shoes,
placed one hand on the koran, an
other on her forehead, palm out
ward, and bowed low three times,
baking her palm touch the book.
At the age of IS, after leaving
her home, the princess made the &C.
quaintance of the late Lord Angle
sey, who ran himself into bank
ruptcy through his inability to re-
sist feminine charms. His jordship
took the girl to Monte Carlo with
him, and afterward she assumed
the name of Lady Muriel Paget, Pa
get being the Anglesey family
name. With this title she went to
fashionable shops and had wares
sent to her house. After she got
the goods she left her boarding
house without paying her bill. This
trick she constantly repeated. Later
she took the name of Princess Sol
tykoff, claiming she had married a
Russian prince in Scotland.
She testified in court that her
principal drink was vodka, two bot
ties of the fiery liquid a day. She
also took quantities of morphine
and opium.
Tse princess took up the profess
sion of nurse as pastime and pos
ing as lady OF title and well to
do. she induced a young student at
Guys hospital. named Prebble, to
marry her. When Prebble's rela-
tives discovered she was an adven-
turess they cut him off and he join

NEW YORK, March 10. - Geo.
Bakhmetieff, the new Russian min
lister to Japan, and his American
wife are in this country for short
visit on their way to take up their
residence in the far east.
Not since the opening of the
Russian-Japanese war has the car
been represented in the kingdom of
the mikado, but M. Bakhmetieff is
not anticipating any trouble upon
his arrival at the Russian embassy
at Toxic.
While in this country. M, and
Nine, Bakhmetieff are the guests of
John r. McLeans in Washington.
The wife of the new minister to
Japan was formerly Miss Mary
Beale, a daughter of Gen. Edward
Beale. and a sister of Mrs. John r
Mclean. She has lived in the land
of the little father for a number OF
years and is decidedly foreign in
appearance.

"One of the finest of the old-time
pitchers" said Charlie Bennett, the
famous eX-catcher. during a recent
tanning bee, "was George Darby,
who was with Washington and De-
troit in 1881. In those days the
pitcher could not pitch the ball
with his arm above the waist, but
the pitching box was only As feet
from the plate, instead of 60 rs at
present. Arson. who was then in
his prime, would bet that he would
not strike out four times during a
season. and yet | saw Darby strike
the old man out twice in one day.
Was he mad? He simply sizzled
and couldn't seem to realize how 1t
had been done.
"a great many people think the
game has advanced over the old
days, Why, they don't make a play
now that We didn't make years ago,
except the bunt. In the old days
we had what was called a fair foul.

ground beyond the base lines and
rolled out. This was prolific trou-

did before the hunt came into gem

There is not at the present time
nor has there ever been a resolu-
tion of the Pacific Northwest ANA
teur Athletic association forbidding
any professional boxing bouts under
the auspices of any club belonging
to the P. N. A. A. A.
The report that the fights being
pulled off by the Spokane Amateur
Athletic club were against the
edicts of the P. N. A. A. A. has no
4oundation.
c. c. Holzell, president of the as
ISOLATION vouches for these state
ments. At the last meeting Mr..
Hoizell states the proposition of
stopping prize fights came up but
nothing was done. The idea was
thoroughly discussed. The fact
that amateurs were usually used in
the preliminaries was considered
reprehensible, but no action was
taken to prevent 1t in the future.
The 8. A. A. G. makes money out
of professional bouts while it loses
on amateur affairs. In the last two
years the club has lost $500 on
amateur sports. 1t has made on
professional fights. The debt of the
club has not been paid off as yet,
and all the money possible must be
made to hasten the time when it
will be paid off.

The fact that Hermis has been
