GREAT REMNANT RACES.
Winners in Both Leagues Still
in Doubt.

NEW YORK, October I'm a
perfect score for the remainder of
the season now lies New York's
only hope of winning the National
League pennant With three games
remaining 10 he played. New York
must win them all even to tie with
CHICAGO in the pennant race. unless
the league directors should vote
70 give the New Workers disputed
game with Chicago. which at pres
ent is recorded as a tie. In that
event three successive victories for
New York would give New York
the flag. There appears to be little
likelihood however. that the de-
ciSiOn of the umpireS in the game
now in dispute will be overturned.
and the followers of the game look
toward the series between New
York and Boston. which begins in
this city today. as the real test In
the years sensational play. A tie
at the end of the season would
necessitate ''play-off" between
the leaders. and it Is likely that
an additional series of three games
would be arranged for that purpose.
The home teams remaining three
games will be played with Boston
on the Polo Grounds in this city.
Neither Pittsburg nor Chicago has
any more GAINES 10 pldy tHlS Nt'tI

DREW CASE VERDICT
MEANS HUNT IS OVER
Troy Dissatisfied at Peculiar Word
ing of Jury's Decision, Which
Doesn't Charge Murder.

TROY. n. Y. July 31-Coroner NJ. H.
strope. who ended the inquest into the
tragic death Of Hazel Drew. the Jeauu-
full young victim Of the Teal POND mys-
terry. yesterday, made public his verdict
today.
He finds that Death was due to a
blow on the back Of the head, inflicted
with some blunt instrument, in some
manner unknown"
The peculiar wording Of the verdict
has caused much dissatisfaction. In
view OF the positive testimony Of ply
sicians at the inquest that the wound
could not have been self-innicted, It is
the general opinion that the YER
dict should at least have made It clear
that the girl was murdered.
It is felt that the verdict simply gives
the officials an excuse to drop further
investigation This practically is what
has been done. The county authorities
have given up the chase for the muir
derer and the mystery IS now added 10
the list OF unsolved crimes.

dummy"
UNDER INSPECTION
Substitute Statue Erected on
Grounds of Municipal
Building.

A rough duplicate, or dummy" OF the
bronze statue Of the late Governor
Alexander r shepherd was placed on
the grounds IN front Of the Municipal
Building today, for the purpose of at
fording a basis Of judgment as to
whether the original statue would be a
fitting one for the place.
There has been some objection raised
to the placing Of the statue there. on
the ground that it would detract from
the architectural beauty and symmetry
Of the building.
The Exact Size.
James l. Parsons, who constructed
the Municipal Building, accordingly HAD
the dummy figure and PEDESTAL pre-
pared Of exactly the same size and
practically the same shape as the actual
statue and base. This has been placed
in position, and is there for all 10 De-
hold. Interested groups have been view
ing and commenting on II all day
The statue itself is Of heroic size, With
a granite pedestal L. s J. Dunbar was
the sculptor. It represents a character
istic pose Of Governor Shepherd, AMI is
said to be an excellent likeness IN
spite OF its size. whioh IS realized fully
only when the statue is viewed by itself,
it looks small In front of the District
Building.
Doesn't Look Large.
In fact, some Of the spectators today
were heard TO remark that if any
statue were TO be placed in front Of the
municipal structure t should be a much
greater one, and that even a heroic
figure on horseback would look small.
II has been suggested that the tri-
angular plot Of ground at the junction
of Pennsylvania avenue and E street,
nearly opposite the District Building,
would be a better place for the statue.
Mr.. Parsons himself IS understood TO
believe that the triangle rather than
the plaza is the proper site. Those
who hold this view maintain that this
location would keep the statue in asso-
citation with the District Building with
out detracting from the architectural
beauty Of the latter. No fault is being
found with the statue as an individual
creation of the sculptor'S art.

LOCAL GAMBLING LAWS.
Interest Manifested in Proposed
Amendments to Code

The International Reform Bureau is said
TO be interested in two amendments TO
the gambling laws which have been pro-
posed in the House District committee
by Mr.. Sims. and which. it is understood,
will be incorporated in bill to be intro
duced In both houses of Congress.
The bill provides that as section $50 of
the District code seems to grant inmu-
nifty and monopoly in gambling mile
beyond the boundaries Of Washington
and Georgetown. and has been so con-
strued by some District judges. and is so
far manifestly unjust. and as the Court
of Appeals has ruled that any one who,
anywhere. by any means. induces or en-
tees another to bet. directly or indi-
rectlE, whether he records it or not, is
liable TO Imprisonment under the District
ga milling laws. therefore to prevent con-
Trajectory decisions of the courts and
suppress bookmaking in whatever dis
guises il may appear
Be II enacted that section SEQ be amend
cd by eraslng the words within one mile
of the boundaries of said cities" and b.
adding Any one. who anywhere acts as
a layer of odds or bookmake, or bv any
means induces or cntices others to bet
directly or indirectly. whether he does or
does not make n memorandum of bets or
in any way records them is liable for
making books under this act
United States Attorney Baker said TO-
day that he had not been, consulted in
reference to amendments to the gambling
laws. and has not expressed an opinion
thereon
