MUTILATED BODY
 REVEALS MURDER

New Orleans, July 9.-After living for nearly 24 hours in the rear of little hair dressing shop at 219 Bourbon street, the body of Alphonse Durel was found late this afternoon in badly mutilated condition. Nearby lay bloody hatchet, evidently the weapon used by the nur- derer.
 Investigation showed that Durels shop apparently had been robbed and the po- lice began search for negro woman cook, who works in the neighborhood. but who has disappeared. Durel was for many years the proprietor of fashion able hair dressing establishment in the old French quarter. Various circum- stances combined to reduce his extensive trade to very modest patronage, and he finally came to occupy the little shop where his body was found today. Neigh bors who missed him started an investi- gation which resulted in the discovery of the body.

By BILL AK.

Little Rock. Ark. July 9.-The ah- sence of Molesworth from the game this afternoon indirectly caused the downfall of the Barons.
 If you trace this train of thought little further, the defeat of the Barons is attributed to Umpire Fitz- simmons. who put the hefty manager out of the game in the fifth inning.
 At any rate, Molesworth went out. and Pitcher Turner. who was subst tuted. let everything hailing to the central garden go safe. and put a climax to his afternoons work by dropping ball in the ninth which al- lowed the winning run.
 It was another of those heart breaking games to which the fans at home have become accustomed. The Barons, by hammering Neuer from the box, piled up a big lead. Then the Barons got careless and the Inevitable happened. Error after error disheart- ened, and as Indian Eastman, who re- lieved Neuer, paced at a rapid gait, the Barons were doomed to lose their lead. And in the ninth Finns tribe scored enough runs to put them one to the good. Thus ended the first game, the score being to '.

Finn Objects To Larson.

The Barons were in an exceedingly crippled condition. too. Demont's ab- sence caused Walters to return to sec ond and Downey to short. Holmes was used on third, and he made three mis- cues. When Molesworth was dismissed pitcher was substituted and the Barons were then on the ragged edge of despair sure enough.
 In the beginning, Manager Moles- worth attempted to use a new third baseman answering to the name of Larson, out of the Arkansas league. He comes highly recommended as a .3h0 hitter, and fast fielder So impressed was Manager Molesworth that he wanted to try the youngster out, bu; when Mique Finn, he of the angel face. filed protest against such intention claiming that Larson was under cor tract to another club, Manager Moles- worth decided not to push the point. Larson may be in the game tomorrow. however.
 Finn saw the Barons were weakened by Demont's absence and laid his plans that nothing sh ould strengthen them. Angora has grown exceedingly ann bilious just at this time, and l really believe that he has himself deceived as to just where he will conclude the sea son. Mique Finn. if he had Chicago's club in Dixie, would never finish one, two. Or, at any rate, that is the way 1 view the situation.
