The steel sleeping car which the Pull
attracted unusual attention from rail-
road officers. not only because the car
is constructed entirely of metal. but on
account OF the decorative features,
which have all the beauty OF graceful
outline and pleasing color treatment
which nre characteristic of recent Pull

not only of the interior finish. but of
the exterior. where the simple straight

Many Richmond people are still urg-

told by that official that the matter

CUT THE BOTTLES
OUT OF BASEBALL

It's little late IN the season to be talk
ing about baseball-anywhcre except in
Chicago But President Puliam is d'scuss-
ing the frightful soda water bottle. At
glance one might think the soda bottle
harmless but President Pulliam states
that a bump back Of the ear from a soda
bottle hastily crossing the diamond is un
pleasant 10 any BAH player or umpire. So
16r Pulliam thinks the soda bottle ought
TO be barred at the gate He doesn't make
any mention Of other bottles.
Several times during the past ball sea-
son the merry fans have risen in the
bleachers in several cities and hurlel
empty soda bottles az the players. II they
We're FUN bottles 1t wouldn't make so
much difference but a bali player never
cares to see anything empty coming his
way
Some players have been hit and more or
less seriously injured. One umpire stopped
a bottle with hts neck and went out OF
commission. A Chicago ball player over
in Brooklyn one day threw two bottles
back into a crowded stand. The bStlcs
have been hutting into baseball news toe
frequently. and pow Mr.. Puliiam is going
TO have them officially ostracized.

PLEASED WITH THE
Upton CHALLENGE

Sir Thomas Upton, in choosing as his
fourth challenger a yacht Of the eS-foot
class designed by William Fife, has play
ed into the hands of American yachts
men and designers. The latter are pleased
over the news and already designers are
at work preparing plans for yachts Of
that class. so that when all the prelimi-
naries have been arranged and the chal-
lenge is accepted, they will be able to get
TO work to have the yachts built What
pleases the racing men most is that Lip
ton has chosen size Of yacht that puts
racing within the reach Of the average
yachtsman. and it will not be necessary to
form a syndicate composed of millionaires
to have a cup defender built.
They also are glad because Sir Thomas
has asked for a race under the present
rules Of the club. It was natural when
the roles were first adopted that there
should be some criticisms. especially from
those yachtsmen who owned vessels that
were practically legislated out Of racing
but now that new yachts have been built,
and they have proved to be such staunch
vessels and with lots of speed, the rule
has gained many friends.

Murder Charge Against Well

who died here on August ID,
following an alleged operation,
was admitted to $4,000 bail in General

SWIPED SIGNALS
FROM CHICAGO?

The Chicago White Sox. champions Of
the world. are sending forth a wall TO the
effect that the Detroit Tigers are stealing
their signals by the use Of field glasses
in the club house.
The sox long since have felt themselves
slipping and now they are claiming that.
the near-trlumphant Tigers have descend
ed to unsportsmanlike methods to capture
enough games TO catch up with the Ath-
letics. Funny that Philadelphia hasn't
complained. isn't it7 But, then, really
there Is no use. as the Sox are on hand to
look after their interests.
The specifications set forth IN the charge
against the Tigers point out that in the
recent series at Detroit between the two
clubs Hughey Jennings had two players
stationed in the club house with very
strong field glasses. and tipped or the
catchers signals to their teammates, and
were thus enabled to thoroughly trim the
champions.
The men. It is claimed were stationed
where they could look directly into the
NIT Of Catcher Sullivan and observe the
position Of his fingers. In few minutes
they had found the key TO the signal code
and would know whether the ball was to
be pitched out TO catch a base runner
They would then fash signal to tie
Detroit bench by means Of flags. and the
Tigers could offset the play before it
started.
The Detroit club Indignantly denies, the
accusation, and replies by saying that the
champions simply got a broad yellow
streak in the back Of their nechs, and
were seeking some hole by which to crawl
out
While this method OF stealing signals is
not entirely new. it is novel, to say the
least 1t IS creating a scandal out West
but Manager Jennings doesn't seem to be
worried in the least.
A scandal was sprung in the National
League some years ago when It waS
claimed that a similar system was EN-.
ployed IN Boston and Philadelphia. but
the accusers were never able TO substan-
tiate their charges. They won't lie able
to substantiate them az Detroit either.
