SENSATION IN
PURE FOOD WAR
CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY TO RUIN
BUSINESS or PURE FOOD Ap-
vocATE 10 CHARGED.

Washington, d. G., Dee lSs-Bvidence
has been secured of a well defined
criminal conspiracy to iujHre the busi-
ness Of an important pure food manu-
factuFsr In western Pennsylvania In
which are implicated three picking
and preserving concerns well known
as users and champions OF benzeate Of
soda. One Of these concerns is located
In New York city, one in the northern
part OF New York state. and the third
in Michigan. 1t II probable that pros
ecutions In the United states courts
viii follow as the evidence reveals n
remarkable and well defined attempt
to ruin the business OF one OF the prin-
cipal advocates OF the pure food laws,
Detectives, professional and amateur,
doctors, lawyers, chemists, newspaper
writer's, photographers, employees,
faithful and fatthIess, brides and brols~
en- promises: meetings in hotels in
New York and Pittsburg, and, in short,
all the paraphhRrenalia OF frst-class
melodrama, figure in this startling
story Of conspiracy to back up the
campaign Of the chemical preservative
people against the pure food laws. The
tools In the case are now under bonds
to appear In court; stenographic re-
ports have been taken OF their con-
fessions; letters and documents have
been photographed, and 1t is not un-
likely that before the case is ended is
will develop iato cause ceIebre and
some one will at least look into the
doors of the pen1tentiary.
Stripping the case to the bone ic an
pears that the Century Press Syndi-
cate of New York, the press agents
for the benzoate OF soda users, sent
a delegation consisting OF d. w. Bowles,
who is newspaper writer. L. ]. Van
der Box, a chemist and a detective or
two, to Pittsburg for the purpose of
proving that leading advocate Of pure
food was surreptitiously using chemical
preservarives. Wander Box, having
been employed by the firm, had access
to the factor, and was charged with
the business of bribing employees to
testify that chemical preservatives
were used. After some days negotia-
lions he arranged that an employee
known as August" should give him
bottle containing the condiments used
in the manufacture of ketchup. This
bottle he was to rush off TO a chemist
and have analysed. In it was to be
found benzoate of soda, and then the
story was to be sprung on the world
through the syndicate controlled by
well known New York newspaper pub
Usher, who, of course, was in ignor-
ance of the factss.
August" however, was faithful to
his employers, and informed them of

"A great many prominent Chinese

reputation of the college at home. And
so they study.
Another reason is that the Chinese

CAN'T NAME The
GREATEST PITCHER

Who Is the greatest pitcher?'' said
Addie Joss, when, asked for his opin-
ion There isn't any best pitcher
never have believed in such being
as the best and never shall. From
time to time one man or another will
be hailed as the king of them all, and
the fans will amuse themselves dis
GUESSING the matter.
ITO my mind, the fact that no mans
record is consistently remarkable for
a term OF years precludes the possi-
bility of picking the leader. One sea-
son it may be Mathewson who appears
best, another Donovan, and SO on
down the list. Then, too, there are a
lot Of good pitchers with poor clubs
who don't have the records of some
others, yet pitch just as good ball as
the leagues leading winners.
johnson Gould Make Good.
Take Walter Johnson, for instance.
Put him on the Chicago National
league club with it's fine defensive
work, and ne wouldn't lose five games
season, provided the Cubs get a
couple of runs a game for him. Anoth-
er good man with a poor club is
Rucker, the Brooklyn star, one of the
best left handlers who ever stepped in
a pair of shoes. Look at Mathewson's
work this year. On club that finisn-
ed poor third he led the league
eff there were any such thing as
the greatest pitcher our Cy Young
would be about as close to the mark
as any one. When a man, after pitch
ing all these years, can go in and show
the speed of ball that old Cy has
shown this season he is about as great
as any man in the world.
BILL Donovan, when ne is right, is
one of the hardest men to beat in the
world. In fact, he is almost invincible
with any kind Of support No pitcher
ever gave his club better service than
Mullin gave the detroit people in 1909.
He was there in pitching, winning
ball day after day, as steady as rock
against all sorts Of hitters.
Adams Looks Good.
TThis fellow Adams of Ptttsburg
looked good in this final game at De-
troit, though he did not impress me
SO strongly in his two earlier games.
He had nice curve ball. good control
and plenty Of nerve in that closing
contest Of tine worlds series would
like to see him work when he had to
go some and pitch himself out of
few holes. That's the real test.
Il honestly believe that IL manager
mad the proposition put up to him to
select the best pitcher from among the
ten leaders in either league he would
have a hard time choosing. And it
is a cinch that when ne once had
chosen he would kick himself for not
taking someone else"

YOST'S TEAM TO BE
STRONG IN 1910
contlnued Erom Paee slxteen.


Arhor campus. Picard, who gave Mo-
MILAN a hard run for the quarter ata-
ton, has developed wonderfully during
the past season. lie got a cnance ~
every game played by the all-fresh
team aud showed specially good form
az helping the man with rhe ball Cum
ningham, Murphy and Van Dyke are
three members OF the scrub squad who
have shown enough form to be consid-
cred as possible quarterbacks on Yosts
1910 machine.
Halfbacks win be plentiful. Besides
the three veterans who received the
IN" last season there are a multitude
OF others behind Yost's line next year.
Perhaps the most promising are Hub
bel and Haff. two bright lights on the
all-fresh team. These two lads ran
through the opponents of the first
year men at will. HAIR has a deadly
straight arm, which he uses with un-
usual accuracy on opposing tacklers.
Hubbel Is an excellent punter and
place kicker. Against Albion this
youngster registered as pretty a. place
kick as has been seen on Ferry field,
when he booted the leather over the
bar from the fifty yard mark. Outside
of his bunting ability. Hubbel can be
relied on TO advance the ball at any
time.
viii Make Rivals Hump.
Siple and CarpeII are two halfbacks
who win make the regular backheid
men hump for their jobs. CarpeIl Is
light and fast, possessing ability to
pick holes in the opposing defense. The
varsity has found him a hard man to
catch, so well does he follow his inter-
ference. The Saginaw lad is a star on
defense. Siple is an excellent dodger
in an open field. His line plunging also
proved effective against the heavy
varsity line. Thompson, the star ALL
fresh fullbaclz promises a hard fight
to any one who can wrest the fullback
job from him in 1910. His remarkable
open field running for the freshmen
has led the wise ones to believe he has
a strong chance to make the team next
year The Saginaw lad is hard to
tackle because OF a knack he possesses
OF twisting out of the grasp of an OPP
ponent when tackled. He was respon-
sfble for a good fraction of the ground
gained by the freshmen.
HuIburt, Allwardt and Wearer took
turns at holding down the fullback job
for the scrubs The first named has
shown the most consistent form of the
three. AS a line smasher he had no
equal on Beechler's squad. Allwardt
is heavier, but not quite SO aggressive.
He is a willing worker and should de-
velop materially. Weager, through his
line plunging ability, has shown that
he win be a lively candidate for full
back in 1910.

ORIENTAL YOUTH
Clever ATHLETE

For the first time in it's history,
Harvard university has a Chinese ath-
lete, Kao Chow Lii. resident of America
by special edict of the emperor, has
broken all presidents at the college by
announcing that he is out for athletic
nonors.
Armed with a. record as track man

is ready at any moment to back up his
assertions, and to this end is prepared
to beat Americans at their own game.
Several days ago students on Sol
diers' field were amazed to see slight,
dark skinned Chinese youth, clad in
running costume, sprinting around the
cinder path. While mis- form and rate
of speed were noticeable in themselves,
the +udents' curiosity was still more
increased when, after few times
around the oval, the runner stopped,

did a pole vault that made the eyes of
some of the crimson's seasoned track
men bulge with wonder.
After several vaults ali of them well
up to the 10 foot mark. and a. running
broad jump that brought tears Of joy
to some OF the coaches standing near.
the quiet youth again trotted back to
the cinder path. There ne did some
sprints, getting away in excellent style
and showing speed that was a surprise
In several ways. Then he just as
quickly picked up jersey and bath
ing robe, threw the latter across his
shoulders. and went quietly away to
the clubhouse.
