IHE ALHAMBRA SALOON
 HEARING StTFOR JULY 20
A Formal Complaint of Misconduct
 Filed with the Board Yesterday.

The county board of equalization yesterday resolved itself into a board of supervisors long enough to tram sact some more or less important business. A part of 1t related to the saloon of B. F. Reaksecker at Alham- bra concerning which a great deal of informal complaint had been made un- der the impression that the board could aot upon 1t under the new law providing for the revocation of li- censes. The complaints were told two weeks ago that their allegations would have to be put into form and that Reaksecker would have to have the privilege of confronting his accusers; that in all respects the proceeding would be as formal as a trial before a court of law.
 Yesterday a formal accusation was filed by Robert F.. Wright and H. Re maud. It charges Reaksecker with hay ing sold liquor to minors and habituai drunkards and with allowing women to loiter about his saloon. The com plaint goes into particulars as to names and dates. It is charged that intoxicating liquors have been sold to minors as follows: Ap,il 3, to Frank HixOn and Frank Levi; June 2S, to Juan Perez: June 29, to Antonio Nor enez and Fiodoro Baldondo; on June l. to P. K. Noble. a habitual drunkard. The date fixed for the allowing of wo- men about the saloon was April 19 but the names of the women are to the complainants unknown.

hurt the crack much more than the
medium bowler and tend very strong ly
toward leve'ling the classes. All prac-
tice on the alleys is forbidden, the al
leys have never been rolled on, the
games are all for the pins that can be
got and are not in contest in the usual
manner and more potent than all, there
are only three Of them, every point of
which favors the team or the man with
la Chance" bow-in the form of
three or four strikes up his sleeve.
In a long contest the stronger teams
or men would generally win but for
such a short run, coupled with the pc
culiar method OF scoring in the game
of ten pins, all that is required is a
streak-only such as is of common oc-
currence-and the medium bowler or
team obtains a good position. It is the
history Of these events that dark horse
teams and individuals have finished
away up or won first honors. and
many of the experts have gone down
and away back
History seems TO show that 22OO for
three games is respectable: that 24SO
is the composite average Of connecting
teams; that 26OO gets the entrance
money back; that 27OO brings about
$3.50; and that $500 probably takes
$500 and the championship title for one
year. 1t also shows that totals OF 100
and 1900 or so would not break tbe
"booby" records.

MANY WILL BOWL

National Tourney Will Be the
Event in History of
the Sport

The accessibility Of Atlantic City to
the bowlers Of the East opens up
championship possibilities to thous-
ands who have never before had the
opportunity TO try for the thousands
Of dol ars offered in prize money at a
national tournament.
Besides this. there is a general i'm
lpression that only the crack teams and
individuals will compete and win at
Atlantic City next month. This is a
mistake. as the following facts and fig
ures will show:
For six years these premier events
have been held in the Western cities
and last year, at Louisville, the quality
OF play was above the average, and yet

6 ROUND GOES

Funny thing how good judges sitting
at the same ringside twist up these lit
tle old six-round affairs. Many who
saw the Spike Robson and Tommy
Murphy bout Wednesday night in
Philadelphia have expressed the opin-
ion that Murphy was the winner.
1t will always be the same way, and
IL only goes TO prove that the six
round thing is a very poor substitute
for the old ring battles, when news
papers were not afraid TO call them
prize-nghts. and boxing contests were
unknown.
1t is usually a fuke when there is n
Knockout in a six-round argument
There is lots Of room I'm twenty four

the time limit when he knows that

These six-round boxing exhibitions
have brought into pugilism a. lot of
wealSlings who have no place among
fighters and TO talk OF championship
titles, with only such contests to reach
the decision is decidedly a joke.

LAWSON SIGNS
STRONG PLAYER
Bobby MCLaiChie, Former.
IY Of Pittsbure Will Play
on Local Team

Manager A. W. Lawson, Of the Wdl-
mington Atlantic League Club, arrived in
Wilmington to-day after a weeks tour cf
the country in search of baseball Ia ent.
lie was successful in signing three players
and getting in touch with half dozen
others while away.
one of the new men engaged IS 'Bobbie'
McIatchie. Of Pitisburg, an lnnelder of
considerable experience and abil o., who
win play at short field for the local team
during coming season.
McLatchie's first professional engage
ment was with the y. NJ. C. A. Cub, Of
York. Pa, in 1902 during which s.ason
he did some very clever work both at the
bat and in the field.
During the next two years McLaich'e
was member of the Pittstown Pa)
Club. one of the strongest independent
teams IN the country in the seasons Of
1903 and 1904 with this club he made "a
splendid record and was great favorte
with the baseball public So great a fa-
v0rito d.d he become with the Pottstown
people that It is said THAT all of the
babies who have been named "Bobble" in
Pottstown during the past three or four
years have been named after "Bobbie'
McLatchie
Ia 1905 Manager Al Lawson signed Nc
Latchie to play with the Olean On. y
club. of the Interstate League, and he
led the short stops Of that league I'm both
fielding and batting during that year
In 1906 McLatchie played with the
Mansfield COhio) Club of the Ohio ana
Pennsylvania League. He is considered
tho fastest innelder Of that strong or
ganizatlon. So valuable n man was ne
considered by the Mansfield Club that it
not only reserved tim for another season,
but refused to sell his release TO any
other club at any price.
The Atlantic League, however. does not
believe in the reserve rule Of the Ma
tional Association. which binds players Ia
certain clubs like ohattel slaves for the
best part Of their lives. and so tho Will
mington Club signed McLatchie at a larger
salary than Mansfield offered him
/ Manager lawson feels highly elatod
over the signing of this fast young in
fielder, and says that he viii no doubt be-
come a great favorlte with the baseball
public here.

Arm SIGNAL
plan IN FAVOR
UmpiTeS In General Will Use
the System This
Season

! Ihe umpire arm-signal plan. so well
/ demonstrated during the worlds cham
ponship series, is growing in favor.
and' from appearances. will be i'm gen
eral use next season. It's Introduction
is made easy by the fact that no LEAGUE
legislation is necessary for its intro
duction or use. II is within the prov
ince Of each league president to order
its use forthwith by his umpires. Presi-
dent Johnson, of the American League
President Pullam Of the National
League. and President O'Brien. of the
American Association, have already
decided to introduce the desirable in
novation In their respective leagues
next season; and we have no doubt all
other league officials will soon or
late follow suit. The only voice raised
i'm criticism or opposition to date is
that of Umpire ODay who is quoted
as follows:
IF such change in the rules is
made, It will not only be a hardship on
the umpire by adding greater burdens
to his lot than he now has, but he will
not think Of Il half the time for his
mind viii be on getting down to first
base when there IS play coming off
there or to some other base when there
is a play there. Such rule will work
all right when there are two umpires
in game. One Of the umpires should
stand back Of the pitcher and easily
raise his arm for every BAH pitched
for he would have nothing else TO take
mp his mind. but when there is only
one man officiating i'm a game such
thing as raising an arm win not occur
TO am umpire when there is play on
the bases. Then, again. If an umpire
has double-header to work in he will
be unable to keep lifting his arms. for
that will be hard work"
Umpire O'Day probably spoke with
out reflection. The umpire who cannot
use the arm signal system without
confusion or trouble is not fit even for
amateur umpiring. All that is required
of HIN is TO raise his right arm every.
time he calls a strike" No signal is
necessary to Indicate a called ball'
as the fact that he does not raise his
arm denotes that no strike has been
called. and therefore necessarily the
decision must be called ball" Fur
thermore vocal announcement win not
be abandoned, but viii be used stimuli
taneously with the arm signal
The system was tried IN the worlds
championship series and worked to a
charm, so well, in fact that everybody
wondered why II has not been thought
OF or tried. in the regular champion
ship games long ago. AsUmpire O'Day
witnessed the worlds series and there
fore the arm signal system also. his be-
lated objection IS rather singular, TO
say the least. We expect TO see the
simple little scheme IN universal use
next season.
