SHAME or ARREST LESS N
NEGROES THAN N WHITES


According 20 an opinion written
10y Justice Duero. of the SupremeI
Court. made public yesterday by the
Appellate Division a negro arrested
unjustly does not suffer as much
damage and humiliation as a white
man. ordinarily. Justice DugrO
holds the fact he is colored must be
considered in assessing damages he
sustained. Justice Dugro's opinion

NOTES OF THE GAMES.

The crowd seemed 20 favor Bethany.
Brentwood made four errors. and for
while il looked like the Suburbanites
were going 10 lose.
LiJcLfield made pretty hit and scored
the two runs for Bethany that put them
in the lead in the forth session.
Brentwood was quick 70 take advan-
tage OF Litchfeld's ascension in the sixth.
and they drove him hard in that round.
The Bethany boys hardly knew what
to do when they got on bases. and poor
base running helped TO defeat the Bap-
fists.
BUscher's hit in the sixth started the
rally that sewed up the contest, as his
hit scored two runs and landed him on
second.
The Union Station crew certainly slid
down hill That defeat at the hands OF
Parkview Monday sort OF took the life
out of them.
Parkview looks good with Bernie Gal
lagher in the box. The Aggies could
not hit the big fellow yesterday, but four
bingles were recorded on his curves and
shoots.

Detroit, Mich, Aug 24-In a hectic con-
test, reminiscent In many Of its details OF
last years worlds series. Detroit took the
opening duel with the Athletics to-day by
the astonishing score OF 10 g. Xrause
and Summers had each been saved for
the contest for a week, but both were hit
so hard that by the time the end was
reached neither was on the slab and the
game. instead OF developing the expected
pitchers battle. was really a conflict in
which the harder slugging aggregation
won out.
Athletics Are Lucky.
The luck OF the game was all with the
Athletics, who took lead right away by
scoring two runs in the first and two
more in the second on a bundle OF scratch
hits, which was probably near the limit
so far as the history OF Bennett Park is
concerned. With nrause in the box and
apparently at his best, the Athletics were
jubllant; nor did they greatly seem to feel
it when Detroit went up in the fourth and
scored couple of smashes by Cobb and
Crawford and two long flies The visitors
had the whip in hand; In fact, led by 6
