five brothers Nesser, whose aggre-
gate weight is 1905 pounds, make
the Panhandle foot ball team, a
professional organization, one of
the best in the United States.
The Panhandles have been con-
structed around the Nesser quin-
tet, in whom foot ball playing is
almost an instinct. They are
brawny, these Nessers, as the re-
suit of hard work in a railroad
boiler shop, the same exercise
which gave Jim Jeffries the con-
stitution now standing him in
good stead.

BERLIN, Nov. IT. - Publ,
Prosecutor Wulffen has just pub
lished suggestions to show how thu
public can aid the authorities il
ferreting out criminals, especially
murderers, to indicate how any
body may emulate Sherlock
Holmes.
One day last week five murders
or attempted murders were CHI on
icled in the Berlin daily press, anC
in only one case have the poles
yet tracked the guilty person.
The first thing the young Sher.
lock has to learn is not to disturb
the victim of a crime nor allow
other persons to do so. Many muir
ders in recent times have beer
explained by the position of the
body relatively to blood stains. etc.
while many other murders have
gone unpublished because officious
but unintelligent persons have
promptly removed the victims to
a police station instead of summon
ing the police.
The recent double murder in
the woods of the island of Rueger
probably will never be cleared ul
because important clues on the
spot were destroyed by removing
the bodies.
The young Sherlock on the spot
Is to warn other persons against
messing around until the police
come, and to explain why it is OF
the utmost importance that every.
thing should be left just as it is

show from whence the shot was
fired or the blow delivered, OIL

tive is told to note without touch

and large Gin which case the shot
was probably fired close to the

which case the shot certainly was
fired from distance).
He is to note whether any hairs
are singed or the clothing is

to keep the curious not merely
away from the body, but even from
wide circuit around it and ex-
plain that the detectives will need
to look for the wads which usually
falls a few feet or yards from the
mouth of the weapon used.
Pistol an Important Witness.
Above all, unless the victim is
not actually dead. the body must
not be even stirred. A pious per-
son once folded the hands of a
woman found shot with pistol
in her hand. The pistol was re-
leased from the fingers and it be-
came impossible to tell whether II
had been clutched naturally or had
been pressed into the dead hand
by a murderer anxious to give the
appearance of a suicide.
Very rarely" says the Public
Prosecutor, docs a murderer
adopting the suicide trick succeed
in getting the weapon into the nat
ural position in his victims hand.
and therefore is most importan.
that the weapon, if found in the
hand, should not be moved. II
may easily fall out if it has been
put into the hand after death.

@. Il. Van Sloan Describes How Re
markable Triple Play Was
Pulled Off.

The most sensational play ever
made? Every fan will give a diff
ferent answer to this question.
Some will say that Chase made it
when he saved the game by racing
into the middle of the diamond
on pop fly, reaching the ball
when it was only a few inches
from the grass. Ed Walsh, the
Chicago White Sox pitcher, thinks
it was made at Detroit two years
ago.
1t happened in the game bo
which Walsh broke the Detroit
hoodoo, says c. E. Van Loan, in
the Outing Magazine. The Tigers
had beaten Walsh every time he
faced them. They regarded him as
their lawful prey. The game was
played in Detroit and Mullin, who
straight victories for the Tigers,
straight victories for the Tiger,
was slated to pitch against Walsh.
Early in the contest George Da-
Wis, the veteran shortstop of the
Chicago club. secured the only hit
made off Mullin and it was enough
to win the game. The ball, driven
down the first base line into the
right field, struck a fire hose ly-
ing in the grass and bounded into
the bleachers for home run. Aft
er that Mullin was -invicible.
Detroit Rallied
Toward the end of the game De-
troit opened with the ul,lal rally.
Rossman, Detroit's first baseman,
leading off in the inning. smashed
the ball against the fence for a
clean triple. Dutch" Shaefer drew
base on balls, Schmidt, next at
bat, gave a hit-and-run sign, and,
with both runners in motion, hit
hard bounder down toward third
base, where Tanehill of Chicago
