DICK DENIES PART
 IN B|G SHORTAGE Didn't Borrow from Treasurer Smith S291,000 Shy THE SENATOR'S STATEMENT Notes for s5o,ooo Signed Dick & Miles Among the Assets of the Akron
 City Treasurer-Gives
 the Facts.
THE SENATOR'S STATEMENT

Akron, O., July 4-United States Sena- tor Charles Dick tonight gave out a signed statement to the Associated Press mer Treasurer Smith of Akron. Senator Dicks statement follows:
 Tn view of the maliciously false state ments concerning myself appearing in some newspapers in connection with the report to the auditor of state upon exam nation of the treasury of the city of Akron, I feel I cannot do less than to say that I never directly or indirectly bor- rowed a dollar from Treasurer Smith or from any other treasurer or custodian of public funds and while I have not as yet seen the report. do not believe such a charge is justified by anything the re- port contains.
 Any newspaper article insinuating or intimating that I ever borrowed of any one any amount of public funds is wholly without foundation or Justification.
 ''An examination made by direction of the court, the report of which is a matter of court record, and also a voluntary statement made without solicitation on my part by Treasurer Smith, and by Mr. Seiberling, his attorney. both of whom have personal knowledge of the facts, completely remove any ground for such charge or suspicion.
 ''The facts briefly stated are these:
 When the Akron Savings bank passed into the hands of receivers, 1 was in the banks debt personally and jointly with l.. C. Miles, my personal obligation being amply and satisfactorily secured by stock of the bank as colla ateral, the market value of which prior to the banks diff faculties considerably exceeded the amount of my loan. When the assets were sold by the receivers to George D. Bates, these notes were transferred to him. Subse- quently he sold the notes, with others, which he had purchaed from the receiv- CTS, to Fred E: Smith, who in turn trans ferred his entire holdings to the bonding company upon Its request and demand. Until MT. Smiths difficulties arose I did not know that this paper was in his pos session. but supposed 1t was still the prop erty of Mir. Bates and his associates. However, this does not in the least modify my original statements. These notes were made and are still payable to c. D. Bates, trustee. and not a dollar of the money

him that his successor could not possibly make more errors than he is making, and still maintained that it was best for the Commercal-Appeal.
 Then President Coleman grew wrothy He told his nephew sereval things that would not look well in print, and from remarks heard by many, Manager Frank was told that he might do well to look to his franchise. Considerable conversa- tion was also indulged in in which the local man admitted that he has been q friend of Frank in a monetary way, and had built him home in New Orleans, indorsed notes and all such things, but that the time had come when friendship would cease.-Memphis Commercal-Ap- peal.
 Here's a statement the fans want to re- member.
 In the sixth inning Walters robbed Ball of hit in a sensational catch. It was somewhat of a line drive and Walters was running toward center field and throwing up his gloved hand while his back was still turned to the ball he cap tured it. He got the glad hand The hitting of Rube Gardner, the old time Montgomery player was another feature which deserves especial mention. Out of five times to the bat he secured four hits, one of which was a two-bagger.- Montgomery Journal.

WHAT OTHERS SAY.

These were not the only eventualites of the afternoon, however. Chief Zimmer elected MT. Vaughn from the lot in the fourth inning when the ancient one said something about MT. Zimmer having brain storm after his recsion in calling Tacks Latimer out on three strikes Montgomery Advertiser
 So that's why they put him out.
 Atlanta has the babiest lot of ball play CTS seen here this year. They are contin- ually beefng and kicking about every decision. As a fair example the conduct of Pitcher Ford, who yesterday became so much of a baby because he thought Nashville players had put licorice on the ball that he threw it over the fence, is cited. The high ball, however. became ex- pensive. as he was fined s5 by Umpire Hackett-Nashville Banner
 Calling on doctor in the forenoon, who advised him to retire for two we6ks, Manager Babb succeeded in getting a compromise with prescription of fifteen feet of rubber bandage for his injured un- derpinning. But the M. D. handed Man ager Charles parting jolt by advising

 This afternoon at o'clock the teams from Greensboro and Uniontown began a double-header. Notwithstanding the fact that the games were interrupted by show CTS it is seldom, if ever, that better ball playing has been witnessed here or In fact, played anywhere Both of the games were won by Uniontown, each by score of l to O. The features of the games were the battiery work done by both bat
 teres in both games. The batteries in the first game were: For Greensboro, A. Stol- lenwerck, pitcher; Warren Pollard. catch CT: for Uniontown. Frank Allen, pitcher: McLamere, catcher. Second game, Greens i boro, Crenshaw pitcher; Pollard, catcher;
 Uniontown. Welch, pitcher, MeLemore, catcher. These considered the two bast amateur ball teams in the state and are evenly matched. Though Uniontown won both games today, yet Greensboro
