Ty Cobb The Biz Star
Of Reach All
Americas

when Reach's All-Stars sail for
the Orient the fore part of Novem-
Der. the biggest star of the bunch
will be Ty Cobb, the great slugger.
Cobb is to the American League what
Hans Wagner is to the National. Ty-
rus is one wonderful player. Detroit
pays him princely salary and he is
worth every cent of It. A player Of
Cobb's class is always an attraction.
Think of the thousands who go to
the games every year just to see men
like Lajoie. Matthewson, Wagner,
Waddell, Young. and Donlin perform.
The great players draw the crowds
just as great actors, or great fighters,
or great athletes, or great race hors-
es. Cobb will be headliner in the
Orient. for his record is known wher-
ever baseball is played. Reach's

chance to see Cobb work. San Fran
cisco fans have seen Waddell, Lajoie,
Donlin. Keller. and several other
stars now playing in the major
leagues. but never Cobb. The Detroit
phenom is comparatively newcomer
in fast company.
Another major Lacquer who will
be in Mike Fishers lineup is Jack
Bliss, Familiarity known to every
baseball crank in California. Jack
played with Oakland last year. St
Louis drafted him at the end Of the
season. Jack was sick in the spring

Vast Prices Paid For
Polo Ponies From
West

Polo is distinctly sport for the
wealthy. The chief requirement for
playing the game is the pony. and
the price of the little animal has
scared since the game has attained
such popularity in this country until
a good pony now brings price In
the four figures. As a string Of po-
niles is essential to the devotee Of the
sport and competition among Million
aires is keen to obtain the fleetest
and surest of foot. polo ponies may
be said to be worth their weight in
gold.
Foxhall Keene recently sold nine
ponies for $10,125, an average OF
SLIPS each. Express. one OF the
best ponies. brought $1,000. and
Blue Peter, another famous pony.
was sold for $4,000. Both were bid
in by Paul J. Rainey, the young
multi-millionaire, turfman and a
polo enthusiast. Crotona, another
pony, was bid in by Keene for ST.
500.
| Polo ponies come from Texas, Wy
Joining, or Montana. Before the
raw" ponies are shipped East they
have never felt the keen tooth of
the currycomb. If sold in the mar
ket at $3.50 head profit is real
lied. Likely looking ponies sell even
as high as $500 to $1,000.
! Auction sales of seasoned ponies
are very rare in this country. but In
England many sales of veteran ponies
are held. The record price OF $1,000
was received for n veteran pony ter
years ago at Tattersalls. About five
years ago Thomas Hitchcock. Jr., sold
Rowdy and E. w. after several sea
sons campaigning. Rowdy brought
$500 and e. w. $500. John A. Lo

noted poloist, sold six seasoned pc

The best Of the ponies bred on thu
plains are those used for "cuttint

Clark Griffith, in conversation with
members Of the Chicago White Sox
team here today, stated that he was
organizing a new baseball league for
the next season. The location of the
league, he said. would be in the Mid
die West. The only town he would
name as being in the new league was
Pittsburg, where, he declared. the
fans were tired of the Pirates. The
other towns, Grif said, he would keep
for a surprise to the baseball world.
He added that the new league had
ample financial backing. He is al
ready negotiating for players.

ENGLAND LEFT
 DEFENSELESS
Result of the New Military
 Reforms
Expected EnliStments Have Not Taken the Place of COnscriptiOn.

London, May 17.-England is unex- pectedly faced with the perilous pros pect of having no army for home de- fense. The new reforms passed by Secretary of War Haldane which were to ensure the country against conscrip- tion by providing a we'll trained ter ritorial army are proving a failure
 A month ago England apart from her small regular army. had 240.O00 vol unteers pledged to fight at home, and partly available for foreign service as was shown during the Boer war. The Haldane scheme abolished the volun- teers altogether, and substituted a territorial army, also voluntary in na ture, but organized more on real army lines.
 The war office expected that the old volunteers to man would re-enlist in the new force. That hope has been disappointed. Instead of being 31Js000 strong, as was expected the territorial army does not exceed 100,0 The men will not enlist. Instead ot 70 per cent of re-enlistments from the dis banded volunteers and yeomanry, there has been only 30 per cent and practically no fresh men have enlisted.
 One explanation of this break down is that English employers unpatrioti cally refuse to give their men facili ties for undergoing the camp training which the new law requires. Another objection is that, unlike the volunteers, the territOrialists may be used for suppressing civic disorders just as the national guard in the United States.
 The pay allowances of the war off ce during service are also objected to.
 During the absence from home on duty of non commissioned officers, their families are partially supported. but under the same conditions the families of privates get nothing.
 These and other causes are threat ening to wreck England's plans for an efficient home defence army.
 Loud complaints are being made at the lack of patriotism shown by the working class population which reso- lutely refuses to serve in the new force, and the cry of compulsory serv- ices is already being raised in some quarters.

SHUT DOWN Al TM
 RELIEF GOLD MINE
A Nice St60o Gold Brick Brought in as the Product of a Run of Eleven Days.

The Relief gold mine on the 14th closed down for a couple of weeks for the purpose of waiting for new water supply and giving the men little rest in the mecntime. As many know, the chief handicap to larger operations in the mine is a water shortage. The supply comes from the mine and when it is pumped dry it is necessary to wait for the subterranean reservoir to fill up again. The property so far as development of ore bodies are con cerned. looks better every time a drill is stuck into it or a shot is fired. The shut-doW ended a run of twenty-twO shifts since about April 23, or what would be a continuous run of eleven days. The clean up gave a gold pro duct of seventy-siX ounces or approx imately S1600 of good new gold for the world to use in its business. This came from 200 tons of ore worked dur ing the run, or an average of about SS per ton.
 The annual meeting of the company was held in New York on May 1st and the same officers were elected. there 
 board of directors. It was brought out however, that the water supply had grown constantly less during the last year and the time which the could run was shorter for that reason, though the values were greater per ton than previously. The panic following soon after the enlarging of the capital stock. through the disposal of which it was hoped to easily raise sufficient money for necessary improvements and a bet ter water supply. rather blasted that hope as mining stock was not in de- mand for a long time. Negotiations are now on in respect of some other plan by which it is believed the needed funds can be secured. It is earnestly hoped that some of these plans will mature for the property has the mak- ing of a great mine for the owners and it will be great thing for Phoe- nix when that time arrives. All it needs is money and the profit taking will be automatic.

THE HAND OF ENGLAND
 IS FAR FROM CLEAN
1t Can Not Complain of Leopold Atrocities in the Congo.

London. May 1.-The radical papers which for years have demanded that the British government put an end to the atrocities committed by agents of King Leopold in the Congo Free State now claim that the government is hardly justified in criticising the Con go authorities as long as it does noth- ing to stop the same kind of cruel ties against natives by the authorities of the British colony of Natal.
 Two years ago martial law which, strictly speaking is not recognized by the British constitution was proclaim ed in Zululand as an instrument of repression against the colOred popula- tion and it has not only remained in force ever since, but it is being admin istered with a severity and contempt for legality absolutely without prece- dent Shooting, hanging, flogging and Imprisonment have been going on wholesale. and every attempt of the natives to gain redress has been treat ed contemptuOusly by the Govern ment Of Natal
 The British government made a feeble attempt to induce Natal to abol- 1911 lletA lldl ldNs Dul met Mllll d COIL temptuous rebuff, and has since done nothing. How necessary is some de- cisive action may be judged from the fact that under martial law twenty natives were executed. 1000 flogged and 22.000 cast in jail. The floggings were administered with barbarous se- verity, the backs of the natives, ac- cording to official witnesses being "cut into ribbons"
 These measures of repression were adopted against a so-called native re- bellion," the seriousness of which may be judged from the fact that the Co., lonial losses amounted to nine men, whereas 5000 natives were killed.
 A few months ago, the excited Col onists of Natal invented a second na- tive rebellion, the head of which was supposed to be Dinizulu. the Zulu chief. A strong force was marched into Dinizulu's country, and every thing possible done to create genuine rebellion, but the Zulus refused to fight Dinizulu surrendered himself and is now on trial for high treason and murder.

Berlin, May 17.-After a long chase the police of Bulach, in the Canton oi Zurich Switzerland, have succeeded in capturing Emile Haussmann, who bears the title of King of the Gipsies' and has Yong been wanted for his crimes by the German government.
 Haussmann, who is said to have been born in Wurtenburg. is thirty eight years of age. and some time ago escaped into Switzerland. where he has been living a wild life in the wood having as his companion. a young girl of eighteen.

 On April 10. they located their quar- " in the densest part of the Forest of Langetsholz, near Bulach, and were closing in on his tent when Hauss- mann, scantily clad, with bare feet and long matted hair and beard, burst forth and tried to escape.
