OELEHANTY HERE
IN GOOD HEALTH
Claims Trouble With Umpire
O'LoughIin Has Been
Magnified.

Second BaSeman Jim Delehanty arrived
in Washington this morning from Cleve-
land and will remain here until the team
returns home. Dell is in splendid
health at present and 1t is to be regretted
that he has fallen under Umpire O'Lough-
Inns ban. AS to his suspension, Dele
hanty says that while he may deserve
couple Of days lay-off for being too
hasty In replying to O'Loughlin, there was
nothing said that calls for drastic meas
ures. He says that the Cleveland papers
are solely responsible for the big fuss
being made over his suspension, and that
II necessary he can summon witnesses
to prove that he said nothing extraordi-
nary to the umpire.
THE Cleveland papers say that every
body in the grandstand heard what
said to O'Loughlin." said Delehanty this
morning to Star reporter, while in
fact l had half a dozen people sitting
near the front of the stand come to me
after the game and ask me what I had
said.
Trainer Doc Payne and Charley Som
mers, one of the owners of the Cleveland
club. told me that l had said nothing
extraordinary. while the pastor of our
church. who was seated close to the front
of the big stand. asked me after the
game why l had been suspended. Yet
the Cleveland papers in big headlines say
that what l said was heard all over the
grounds.
'AI l want is fair and square hearing
from President johnson and l know that
my suspension will be lifted. l admit that
1 was a bit hasty, but l had been out of
the game SO long and was SO anxious to
play ball for Joe that when O'Loughlin
put me out of the game / probably lost
my head for a second or two. But other
ball players have done the same thing
without great fuss being made over the
matter"
AS to the report that there are factions
in the team and that the little scrap be-
tween Burns and Ganley resulted there
from. Delehanty says 1t is all bosh. Gan
ley and Burns both lost their heads for a
second and came together, but it was all
over like flash and both are on closer
terms than ever. From what Delehanty
says 1t appears that the Cleveland papers
have been sore at the Nationals for the
many defeats administered to the Maps
and have taken advantage of every little
opening to get back at them. He cites a
case where correspondent says that In
glaub refused to run out hit as more
evidence Of disorganizatiOn, when in fact
Bob had fallen down in trying to dodge a
wild pitch. the ball had hit his bat and
rolled down the line to Stovall.
THE only way for Ungiaub to reach
first" says DEL was for Stovall to
drop dead or throw the ball away. yet be-
cause Bob didn't jump to his feet and
run down the base line with StOvall
standing on the bag with the ball, they
say his action was another evidence of
factions

HAIL AS LARGE AS HAzELNUTs
Two Killed by Lightning in Fierce
Electrical Storm.

PHILADELPHIA. August S.-Two per-

causing much havoc. Robert Heimbach,
a farmer, was struck and instantly killed
near Lewisburg. Pa. while working in
the fields, and Walter Cattell, aged seven
teen years, was struck and killed near
Glassboro. n. ]. His sister Mabel and
Rebecca Turner were also struck and Sc

Gus condition. Cattell, his sister and
Miss Turner were seated under a shed
watching the lightning, when bolt
hit the peak of the house and ran down
a corner across the floor and through the
shed where they were sitting. The
lightning broke the legs off the chairs
and rendered the trio unconscious.
The charge passed down Cattelrs back
soaring the spine. and he was dead
when picked up. The shoes were
ripped from the feet of his sister. but
she recovered consciousness after short
time. Miss Turner remained half dazed
for some time and is seriously i'll from
shock One corner of Cattelrs home was
torn out by the lightning.
Buildings OF all sorts were struck in
various sections and destroyed and many
districts suffered from flooding. Philadel-
phia in connection with the storm, was
pelted by one of the most severe falls of
hail that has occurred in a number OF
years. Windows were broken. trees and
shrubbery beaten and torn and much
minor damage done. Half dozen rum
away accidents were reported to the po-
lice as a result of the storm.
The hailstOnes were as large as hazel
nuts, and when they came with terrific
force upon the backs of horses standing
in the streets the animals bottled, caus-
ing much trouble. The rain fell in tor
rents, and in all sections cellars and
streets were flooded.
