all the games OF the series AS In the
two preceding games. the Tigers went
through the nine innings without slip

corker, hitting the fence on the second
bound and being good for three bases.

to first, his work was first-class and very
puzzling to the Washington batsmen.
-Four singles were all he allowed the To-

playerS pop up easy flies and send easy
Founders to the inhelders. Willetts gave
evidence of suffering from the heat, but
stuck manfully to his work. and was
going strong at the finish.
Walter Johnson was sent to the rubber

the start although the lower part of the

PRESIDENT DODGED IN Time
ALMOST BoWLED OVER BY b.
CYCLE RIDER.
Colored Boy Forfeits Collateral on
Charge Of Using Wheel With
out a Warning Bell.

Gilbert Boyer. colored, nineteen years
old, yesterday forfeited 81 collateral in
the Police Court on a charge of riding
bicycle not equipped with a warning
bell. Nothing was thought OF the case
out of the ordinary until it came out
last night, the police say. that Boyer mar
rowly escaped running down the President
Sunday morning, while Mr.. Roosevelt was
on his way to church.
The incident occurred at the intersec-
ton Of 18th and II streets, shortly be-
fore the opening hour for the church serv-
ices. The President. followed by two
secret service men, was in the act OF
stepping into the street from the pave
ment when the boy darted around the
corner into 18th street. his handlebars
coming within a foot or more Of the
Presidents body. The quick rush OF the
bicycle seemed to startle the President
for a moment. and he stepped back a foot
or so rapidly. In a moment, however
he recovered himself and continued on
his journey.
Instead of stopping. the police say, the
boy continued on his way up 10th street.
and was apparently oblivious to the fact
that he had come within an ace of run
ming into the President.
He is said to have turned his head az
he sped along and grinned as though he
considered the matter huge joke.
After the church services the secret
service men proceeded to ascertain the
identity of the boy, and with the assist
ance of Sergt. Boyce of the second pre-
cinct it was learned he was employed at
street dairy. and a further investiga-
ton resulted in Boyer's arrest.
When Boyer was informed that he
came near running down the President
he seemed agtated. and for time was
fearful that q charge would be preferred
against him which would mean a jail
sentence. After the matter had been
talked over by the police and secret serv-
ice men 1T was found that the only thing
young Boyer could be charged with was
failing to have the proper bell on his
wheel This charge was made and Boyer
was released upon IS collateral furnished
by his relatives.
1t is said that upon one or two previous
occasions recently Mr.. Roosevelt has had
similar experiences with ether bicyclists,
but none in which the rider came SO close
to- collidine with him as the incident 0f
Sunday morning. -

The Conservation of Bishop veres.

To the Editor of The Star:
Pardon me if the, duties Of my sacred
ministry and my ordinary occupations
have not hitherto permitted me to notice
an article which appeared recently in your
valuable paper about the reasons why my
conservation as bishop took place in the
United States. First Of all, wish to
state plainly that his excellency the Pres
ident of the Mexican republic, Gen. Don
Porfirio Diaz, has in no way interviewed
either in my promotion to the bishopric
or in the circumstances which led to my
conservation in this country. Given the
legal status Of the Catholic Church in
Mexico, where it is separated from the
state just as it is here, Gen. Diaz. as first
magistrate. is likewise the first in observ-
ing the laws of his nation and takes no
part in affairs relating purely to the gov
eminent of the church. To him. as to an
accomplished gentleman distinguished for
his courtesy. amiability and modesty,
feel bound by ties Of personal obligation.
But apart from this there Is no reason to
suppose him interested In the circum-
stances of my episcopal conservation.
With regard to the intentions with which
the article in The Star credits me of pro-
noting the teaching Of the English Ian
guage In the more advanced colleges of
Mexico ana Oh raising the STANDARD IN the
Catholic institutions to the level Of the
Catholic universities of this country, l
must say that this publication is not
exact. The duties incumbent on me be-
fore I return to Mexico have no connec-
ton with these designs which are as
cribed to me. Moreover, you will pardon
me If, with due consideration for the UNI
deniable literary and scientific progress
of the United States, l assure you that
literature and science in Mexico are hap
PLY on a very hA.h plane. and, without
making comparisons, which are always
odious, you will permit me to remind you
that for more than 300 years the principal
colleges of Mexico and of other cities Of
that nation have been renowned, even as
your own illustrious universities, among
the most celebrated centers of learning.
Many of the present schools and the
Catholic universities Of Mexico are today,
as they have always been, colleges of the
most advanced type, possessing from the
most remote times the elements which
make for success and utilizing the ad-
vances made in the various branches of
learning up to the present time.
You see, then, that the Catholic insti-
buttons of Mexico stand in no need of my
intervention nor of any help from me.
