To hear some OF those New York
boys tell about II, that Belmont race
track is but little more than private
affair, built by the subway million

their horses. It's really wonderful

the very handy score Of 10 to 3 and
leading all the way.

may have been the debut in the De-
troit lnfield Of Wade Hampton killifer,
the Paw Paw frultfarmer and Uni.
Versity Of Michigan graduate.
In September. 1906, Killifer was Sc
cured from the Kalamazoo club 10 play
an inield utility role for the Tigers.
Killifer had gained his fame upstate
as shortstop aud third sacker.
Schaefer's ill.health made the most
apparent Detroit need seem that OF a
second baseman in 1907. SO Killifer,
after showing great cleverness in his
trial. was farmed out. Jennings keep
ing Jerry Downs, who officiated in the
utility stunt all through last season.
This year Jennings is keeping both
Killifer and Downs.
Yesterday, for the first time In
almost two years, Manager Hushie At
last put killifer into the game In the
infield. Red" was bit nervous, as
was natural, and made a couple Of in
expensive errors. He feldsd nicely,
however, on thrown balls, made safe
drive that drove in two runs. laid
down a pretty bunt and beat IL out,
sacrificed once and stole base. Gen.
orally speaking, he made very good.
That he is better batter than
O'leary is generally conceded but
that he is as yet in Charles class as
a fielding shortstop 10 hardly to be
believed.
The mysterious injury which is said
TO have shelved OLeary was not suf-
ficient to prevent him from taking
part in the teams practice and, from
this distance, II looks as IL Jennings
had merely decided 10 give the little
regular shortstopper a rest. pending
the return OF his batting eye.
Come TO think of 1t. the Detroit club
has bumped up against some peculiar
misfortunes this year but has not yet
been seriously crippled by the absence
from the game OF any OF its regular
members. Davy Jones gets into the
game once in a while to run for some
body but the regular outteld saws
wood in every game. O'Leary's alb
sence yesterday was the first time
any OF the infielders has been out or
It 10 give Downs or killifer chance.
Even the catchers have been able 10
work almost whenever called gu and
not more than one at a time has
been on the shelf with soreness OF
any sort anywhere.
The slight ankle sprains OF Willett
and Summers have. in fact, been the
sole difficulties up TO data feature
in which the Tigers have been far
more fortunate than most Of their
rivals.
In the meantime, Detroit fans can
only wish II were permitted them to
see the battle of the stars that is
carded for Boston today.
From every point Of view II looks
like a pitching duel between the great
and only Denton Young and Ed Xii
Ian, king Of the southpaws.
Every year this pair has hooked up
in a couple Of hair-raisers, often bat
Ting IL into extra innings.
The Tigers are out today TO make
Il three straight from Boston. They
are just one game shy OF the breaking
even mark and they want TO pile up a
margin In their favor IL possible, TO
help when the harder game OF New
York and Philadelphia Is encountered.

Mrs Taft on Divorce

1.-THE laxity of our divorce laws is
a menace to the very moral fibre OF
our nation. Whenever and where
ever / could do anything to infiu-
ence more stringent laws ! would dc
it If divorces are to be granted
there should be a uniform divorce
law for all the states of the nation
"Of course, there are cases where
separation might be legally granted
but there should be no remarriage
allowed.
Divorce is an appalling evil and
it seems to be ION the increase in
stead of diminishing. 1t is counter
anced by the so-called highest socia
circles, and it is made light of, and
woman in many instances is received
with as much favor after she is di
vorced as she was before.
Such conditions are shocking anC
