guardian of the champion White SoX, is
still laundering after the quiet of>a minor
league life, with himself in charge of a
particular team rs owner and manager.
His old love, Wichita, Kan. continues to
beckon to him, and the team of that
place looks so good to him, even better
than earlier in the season that he is
thinking seriously of retiring from major
league ranks and purchasing the team.
Baseball fans find little complaint to
make against the way the bail clubs are
hitting this season and the result is that
all adverse talk of the fOul-strikc rule,
which raised such storm a couple Of
years ago, has passed away. While the
individual batsmen are not ranging high
er in their percentages, the clubs, as
clubs, are doing plenty of stick work,
and the fans have been RECALLED many
Il time this season with smuggling contests
that are the JOY Of the rOOter. Games
in which the hits have mounted into
two figures-from ten upward-have been
frequent, and there have been many con-
tests in which the number of runs tai
lied has reached similar proportions. Both
major leagues show that these kind of
games are not uncommon this year and
there have been many in the association.

Oyama Thanks American Ambassador for
Reception Given Gen. Baron Kuroki
in the United States

TOXIC, July 5.-Gen. Baron Kuroki,
the Japanese imperial envoy to the
jamestown exposition, gave a luncheon
today in honor of Luke E. Wright, the
American ambassador. Field Marshal
Oyama, representing the army, expressed
himself in the most appreciatiye terms
of the magnificent and enthusiastic re-
ception accorded Gen. kuroki and his
party everywhere in the United States.
His phraseology was one long chain of
superlatives of gratifying appreciation in
which the japanese language is particu-
larly rich. Ambassador Wright made an
appropriate reply and the most cordial
feelings prevailed. The anti-Japanese, or
what is here known as the American
question, was completely ignored.

HOW TO REDUCE THE FLESH.
increasing the Lung Capacity Is the
First Requisite.


To increase the lung capacity is the
first step in the reduction Of flesh, says
Outing. For this purpose running is, 1
think, superior to any other exercise.
Boxing and handball are also excellent
for the wind" And these exercises
will do more to increase the respira-
tory functions; they will greatly slim
ulate the circulation as well as all the
secretory and eNcretory processes.
What leg exercise will not do, how
ever, is oXidize, to any great extent,
the soft tissues of the trunk and arms.
True by stimulating the organs Of
elimination and by increasing lung ca
pacity, leg exercises will oxidize upper
tissues somewhat; but when fat is not
replaced by muscle, it has a strong ten
dency to reform.
A bad effect of leg exercises exclu-
sively is that they draw a major part
of the blood rich in oxygen, to the low

Vincent Ferrari Is Found Dead on Car

MILWAUKEE, Wis. July J.-That
the killing of Vincent Ferrari, an
Italian who was found dead ON the street
car tracks Thursday night near the coun-
try club, and the serious wOundng of
his companion Dominick Moracad, was
the work of the Black Hand or Il kim

by police and detectives. who are i'm
pressed with the idea by the mysterious
silence which Moracad maintains con

both men were shot from behind and

crime. The body of Ferrari lay on the
street car track and, before it was dis

OIL one leg. Ferrari was years old

The persons who did the shooting have
not been found and Il large force of de-
tectVeS IS working on the case. The
help OF the Italian consular agent has
also been called for. There is no doubt
IN the minds of the police that murder
was committed.
The fact that both men were shot
through the back, that several sizes of
bullets were found in the bodies, one of
those removed from Moracad this morn
ing being a large slug such as might have
been fired from an old-fashiOned horse
pistol, and the silence of the only man
who could tell story, has made the
case one of the most battling that the
Milwaukee police have ever had to con-
tend with.
