proving slowly and is now able TO sit
in a patients chair. His back and. legs
pain him very much. His physician
says that as he regains strength he
will again come into full use of his
physical faculties.
At police headquarters Saturday af-
ternoon a number of the officers were
discussing Riley's condition and his
brave act Il have heard a number
censure Riley for stopping a team
hitched to an empty wagon. said one
of the officers" but suppose that team
should have continued down the street
and hurt or killed someone? There is
only one way to look at Riley's act
and that is as a eommendable piece of
bravery"

Manager Jessup of the Richmond
team stated Saturday night that he
had selected Will Horn as the pitcher
for today's game with the Duessel-
has been suffering with sore arm
for some days but he stated Saturday
that he felt that he would be able to
take his turn in the box and Jessup at
once picked him TO do the slab work
for the Sunday game. Horn is an ex-
perienced pitcher and a great favor
tie with the local fans.
1t is not improbable that Reeves,
the Knightstown infielder Jessup has
been dickering with, will be seen at
shortstop today. JesSup looked for
the young man, who is touted as a
wonder, Saturday, but he did not put
in an appearance SO it is thought he
will report today. With Reeves at
shortstop the locals look as good, if
not better than any independent team
in this part of the country. Cunning
ham at third is capable of putting up
a stellar game. He has never been
given a thorough trial in this city,
but he will get one this season and
will show the fans what he is capable
Of Manager Jessup has the utmost
in the cool, quick-witted
little fellow Justice at second base
is a tower of strength. He knows ev-
cry in and out of the position and is
as good as the majority of second
basemen now holding down jobs in
the Central League. Justice is also a
reliable batter.
Cameron at first base could not be
improved upon. He is quick as a
flash, good on both ground and
thrown balls, a good batsman and al
ways full of ginger. Plummer, Rit-
ter and Durham in the outfield, with
Jessup and Goehner behind the bat,
and Horn and Rodenback for slab
work, round out a team that is by
long ODDS the best that has ever rep
resented this city. After more games
have been scheduled. Manager Jessup
will increase his pitching staff by the
addition of southpaw pitcher. He
will then be prepared to stand pat for
the season.

SURPRISE FOUND IN
NEW PENSION LAW
Thousands of Applications Are
Being Sent to the Pen
sion Department.
ALL SECTIONS INCLUDED.
1T is APPARENT THAT THE PEN
SION DEPARTMENT OFFICIALS
GREATLY UNDERESTIMATE
THE PROBABLE PETITIONERS.

Washington, May 4.-Some one was
badly fooled in estimating the effect
of the adoption of the service pension
law which was enacted by congress
at the recent session. The law is less
than ninety days old, yet the appli-
cations for pensions under it already
exceed by nearly 100000 the total esti-
mated beneficiaries.
The rush of the aged veterans who
want to take advantage of the new
law has swept the force of the Pen.
sion office off its feet. So far $685.
900 applications have been received,
and they are piling in with little evi-
dence of a iet-up- The clerks have
barely had time to receive and file
them without attempting to pass on
their merits. The clerical force has
been pushed to the utmost to handle
this new business. and it has been nee
essary to establish several additional
bureaus
When the demand for an age pen
sion law became so insistent that the
leaders could no further lg
more it the senate called on the pen
sion commissioner for an estimate of
the probable cost of such a law. Com
missioner Warner put his experts to
work, and after studying the pension
rolls and the mortuary records they
informed the senate that an allowance
for 234 900 beneficiaries would be am
pie. This was to include all soldiers
er than the proposed age pen
sion and a liberal proportion of the
unknown army" made up of veter-
ans who had never attempted to get
on the rolls.
