SELBACH TO
QUIT GAME
Salary Limit Too Low For
Him, So lie Will Manage
a Team

Al Selbach. the star outheldcr, and
one of the most popular players who
ever wore a Harrisburg uniform. has
sent word to Manager George W. Heck
ert that he has decided to retire from
active playing and will not be a mem
Der of the Harrisburg team next sea-
son.
Selbach is retiring because he has not
fully recovered from an injury receiv-
ed on the Reading grounds during the
latter part of last season, and partly
because he feels that he can get better
employment than he would have under
the recent salary limit adopted by the
Tri-State League. He says he will
likely manage a small club in Ohio
next season, but the headv Outfiolder
may secure a managerial berth in the
Tri-Stat League before the season
opens.
Selbach is another of the old time
ball players to pass ont of active work
in the Tri- State and follows Billy Ham
ilton. another old star who was for
merly with Harrisburg. Selbach has
played baseball for more than twenty
years. starting his major league career
with Washington and later joining Bos-
ton. From Boston he went to Provi-
dence of the Eastern League and was
secured from Providence by Iarris-

San Francisco, April 27.-J. Dalzell
Brown, former manager Of the Cali
fornia Safe Deposit & Trust company,
now defunct, when placed on trial this
morning pleaded guilty and was sem
fenced to IS months imprisonment.
In return for his light sentence in
state prison, Brown will make a COM
plete confession. He will tell his story
to the grand jury this afternoon and
as a result of his statement 1t Is
thought that the indicted officials OF
the bank now out on bail will be re.
turned to Jail.
The charge on which Brown was tC
be tried was embezzlement OF the
Sacramento Gas & Electric Co Sc
curities. The plea Of guilty came as
a complete surprise save to the dis
rict attorney and the defendants at
torney.
Just before receiving sentence
Brown, in a quivering voice. stated
that he had never received a cents

Vienna, Austria, April 27.-Terrific
fighting is reported on the shah's side
OF the Russo-Perslan frontier.
The entire population of the noun
tain region, south of the Aras river,
is rising against the Russian force,
now about 1900 strong, sent to their
country to punish the Kurds for raid
ing the czar's territories. The Cos
sacks continue to hold their position,
which is very critical, according to
dispatches here from st. Petersburg.
The available military forces within
striking distance of the fighting zone
are exhausted and the present body
in the field will fight out its own sal
walton. The Cossacks with modern
machine guns have no trouble in bat
tering down the village walls and In
flicting heavy loss on the enemy, but
are overwhelmed by sheer weight of
numbers. The continued massing Of
the Turkish troops on the sultan's
frontier, greatly adds to the cars ap-
prehensions. Grand Duke Nicholaie-
witch has departed for the Caucasus
presumably to take charge OF the
military forces In the region.

Portland. April 27.-No announce
ment made in years has been more
interesting to the state at large than
the publication of the plans of the
oregon Electric Railway company
which mean a system aggregating
three hundred and eighty-one miles
in length, and reaching the principal
towns of the entire Willamette val
ley, with an extension to the coast
as WELL McMinnville, Newberg, Dallas,
Eugene, Albany, Cascadia, Hillsboro
and Tillamook. with innumerable
other communities, are included.
The line between Portland and Sa-
lem has received such excellent pat
ronage that on several different oc-
casions it has been necessary to re-
wise the schedule to accommodate ad-
ditional trains. In the eastern states
the multiplication OF trolley lines has
decreased the passenger traffic on the
steam roads, but the latter have felt
so marked an increase in freight traf-
fic that the passenger loss has been
more than compensated in earnings.
Albany Is Active.
A very large delegation from AL
bany visited Portland last week for
double purpose. First, the city
council came to investigate the SUBJ
ject of paving, and as a result Albany
will Immediately begin the perman-
ent improvement of her main streets.
Then the committee representing
the Albany Commercial club COM
pleted arrangements with Bury l..
Dasent to take charge of the city's
publicity work as manager of the

citation, and secretary OF the Pacific

Otto, the mad monarch of Bavaria, is
| today so years of age and Is celebrat-
ing the anniversary immured in the
gorgeous prison of Castle Furstenried,
whers he has spent 3S years.
King Otto was born April 27, 1S4S,
and succeeded hfs brother, Ludwig H.,
June 13. 1886, when that monarch
committed suicide by drowning him
self in the Stranberg lake. At that
time he was insane, and the real mon
arch is Prince Luitpotd, Otto's uncle,
who rules Bavaria as regent.
OF King Otto's so years, 3S have
been passed. as a madman, although
for 22' years he has ostensibly occu-
pied Bavaria's throne. Physicians are
of opinion that Otto's robust consti-
tuition will enable him to "reign" many
more years.
Since 1873 Otto has not left the
house and park of Castle Furstenreid,
which is on the outskirts of of Mu-
MICH
Fifteen gorgeously appointed par
lors, connected by mighty folding
doors, are at the exclusive disposal of
the royal madman. who amuses him
self year in and year out by smashing
furniture, breaking up statuary and
smearing mud over the paintings and
wall hangings.

Pendleton 16.
Walla Walla 2.


A score of 16 to 2 was the large
bitter pill that Lorimer's stickers fed
the Garden City tossers yesterday in
the presence of one of the largest
crowds that ever saw a ball game in
that city.
Walla Walla's team is composed Of
largely the same men who played
with it last year, though the team is
said to be even stronger than in the
past. But the result yesterday show
ed that 1t was not equal to the bunch
that has been herded together here.
In the game yesterday the Pendle-
ton boys showed themselves to be a
team of stickers and 1t was their abil-
lity to connect with the ball that
helped much in winning the game.

Parkes pitched throughout the
game for Pendleton and his work was
the admiration of the team. His
speedy curves were entirely too much
for his home town friends and 10
strike-outs were credited to him dur
ing the game.
The following was the game in de-
