Frank Chance is playing with San Jose
in its contests for the Championship OF
California with Stockton. A few Sundays
ago, at San Jose, an enthusiastic admirer
of Chance was sitting in the stand, He
was unable to sit an even keel because
of a huge wallet full of bills in his hip
pochet-and he was there ready and
anxious to bet all or part that Chance
would make hit.
The first time up the mopey-laden gent
from Alameda county wagered $50 against
500 that Chance would make hit. Chance
whacked away at three balls and retired
to the bench.
The Alameda man was stunned, but
game He was convinced thai Chance was
struck out simply because he was trying
to make home run So the next time
up he repeated his bet. and again Chance
tore holes In the air and never scratched
leather. The man from Alameda began ia
suspect something crooked. AS a loyal
Californian, he could not believe any one
could strike Chance out twice. Besides, he
wanted to get even, so he stuck to the
system-and Chance whitfield for the third
The fourth time Chance came - the
Alameda man plunged and bet 500 against
$500 that Chance would make a hit. For
the fourth time Chance tried in vain 70
hit the ball and retired disguised. For a
few minutes the Alameda man sat silent
and then, raising his voice, he yelled:
Say, how in hi did your team ever
win a pennant!'
He did not know that the opposing pitcher
was .Stricklett, the Brooklyn spit-ball
artist.

WHY NOT CDNKL|Nd
FOR SECRETARY
Present Chief Clerk Has
Strong Backing For
For Position

Practically all the available men in
the Territory have by this time been
mentioned" for the position of Secre-
tary of the Territory to succeed the
present Secretary and Acting Cover
nor, A. H. G. Atkinson. Among those
mentioneG of whom seems to meet
with popular favor is the present Chicf
Clerk of the Governors Office, Lloyd
D. Conkling.
ConklI.. has been in his present
position lung enough to become thor
oughly familiar with the duties of the
Secretary, his work giving him a full
knowledge of what is expected OF the
Office.
In addition to that, he is thoroughly
familiar with conditions throughout
the Territory, having lived here for IL
years. He has engaged in various lines
of work that are of nature to give
him accurate knowledge Of conditions,
and besides he knows practically ev-
erybody. Doubtless he could easily
become dispenser of the glad hand
il that should prove to be one of the
requirements under the new admins
tration.
Conkling's name was mentioned at
first by his friends more as a compli-
ment to him than anything else, but
since that time he has developed un-
expected strength and is now regarded
as a strong candidate for the position.

looks as though the coming of the

MAJOR LEAGUE PLAYERS.
1t will be seen by Mr.. Fishers letter
that there is a good chance of Amer
lean and National League players COM
ing. There are quite a few American
and National League players who hail
from California and every year after
the season is over these lads winter in
California This being the case the
chances are that they would be de-
sighted to make the trip. Amongst
these men are such players as Captain
Frank Chance, the first baseman of
the Chicago National League tearl,
winners of the 1906 pennant; 0. Over.
'all, the giant pitcher of the Chicago
Nationals; Hal Chase, the great first
baseman of the New York Americans;
Dan Shay, the crack second baseman
of the New York Giants, and Joe Nea-
ion of the st. Louis team, and then
there is Bob OKeefe, the pitcher for
the New York Americans.

Death of Richard Mansfield.

After fighting for months an illness
which last spring forced him to leave
the stage and go abroad in search Of
health, Richard Mansfield, one Of the
best known actors In this country,
died at his summer home In New
London, Conn, of disease OF the liver,
aggravated by complications.
Last spring he was compelled to
give up his engagement at Scranton,
Pa, after suffering nervous break
down, and went to England in the
hope that it would benefit him. A
short time ago he returned to this
country and went to Ampeersand, n.
Y, very recently coming to his sum-
mer home at Seven Oaks, Ocean ave-
nue., New London. He gradually failed,
and in spite of every effort to pro-
long his life, 1t was evident to the
members of his family and attending
physicians that he could not live long.
He became unconscious about 2
o'clock and remained so until the time
of his death at $3.50.

MAN CRAZED BY TAKING GAS.
Attacks the Dentist, Who Strikes Pa
tient With a Hammer, Fractur-
ing His Skull.

Washington, Sept. 3. = George w.
Bowers, an engineer, went to the
Washington Dental Parlors to have an
aching tooth extracted, and few
minutes later was carried to the
Emergency hospital with fractured
skull and the affected molar still firm
in his mouth. In the meantime he
had wrecked the dental parlor and
caused commotion which required
squad of policemen to quell.
Bowers insisted on taking gas
against the advice of Dr. r. B. Leon
ard When 1t was administered Bow
ers started In to break up the fur
niture and to attack the dentist.
Two assistants and a colored porter
came to his rescue, but Bowers had
them all down and out in quicker time
than 'it would have required to ex-
tract the tooth.
Finally, in defence of his life, DR..
William H. Winter seized a hammer
and struck Bowers on the head with
1t, fracturing his skull. This foored
the man and strangely enough brought
him back to consciousness. He ex-
planned that in his delirium he thought
the doctors we're attacking his wife.
When he reached the hospital he had
forgotten all about his toothache. He
will recover from the fractured skull.
DR.. Winter is held in $1,000 bail to
await the result of Bowers injuries.

DEATH TO BLACK HAND.
Shoemaker Shoots Ono Of Three Mon
Who Demand Money.

Blairsvillo, Sept. 3.-The first known
effort of the Black Hand to carry on
Its nefarious practices in Blairsville
resulted In the death of one man, the
serious wounding of another and the
arrest OF third.
The victims are: Giuseppe Guissifo,
dead; Frank Ciepinno, stabbed in the
back and breast; unknown Italian, In
Jail at Indiana.
Cieplnno Is wellknown shoemak-
or, who has been a resident of Blairs-
vile for many years. The dead man
and the prisoner had been employed
by local agent for brewery, and lit
tie Is known of their antecedents.
Late Saturday night as Ciepinno
was about to close his shop three men
entered and demanded sum Of mon
ey, the same amount which has been
demanded, 1t is said, in letters signed
with the conventional Black Hand
marks.
Ciepinno refused to comply with the
demands of the intruders, at the same
time seizing revolver from under his
counter and opening fire.
AS he pulled the trigger his assail-
ants closed with him, one Of them
sticking a knife into his breast.
The shoemaker saw one OF his
would-be slayers fall; then he started
for the yard in the rear of his shop
and tried to scale fence. AS he did
SO one of the pursuing Italians stabbed
him again. Then they fed.
A crowd was attracted by the shoot
ing. and after hearing Ciepinno's story
started out in chase of the Black Hand
men. One of the two escaped, but the
other was arrested and hustled to In
diana on a freight train. The man at
liberty was recognized as an employe
of the beer agent and efforts are now
making for his capture.
The crowd was ugly after the cap
ture of the unknown and for time 1t
looked MS though efforts would be
made to mete out summary punish
ment. However, the sight Of the Off
GERS revolvers had a quieting effect,
and without mishap the prisoner was
escorted to the railroad and hustled
way.
Ciepinno is In a serious condition,
but will probably recover. He was not
totally unprepared for the attack. as
he had received several Black Hand
letters. all demanding money, and all
OF which he had ignored.
