Lajois is head and shoulders the pre-

Second basemen come and go, but
with the exception Of Johnny Evers Of
the Chicago Cubs not a second sacker
has sprung up that could even ap-
proach Larry in fielding grace. No
other man playing that position can
cover the ground as does Larry. No
other man can recover himself so
quickly on a slow hit ball and get the
leather to first to retire the batter as
can Larry. But with all Of Lajoie's
great playing he probably receives
less applause than any second base
man in either big leagues. for> the
reason that the fans expect Larry to
make phenomenal plays. and let it go
at that.

TECHNICAL POINT IS
RAISED IN GIBBS TRIAL
His Attorney Claims ErTOr in lndict-
men, Which, if Sustained, Will
Mean Dismissal of Case.

But little Roadway was gained in the
second day of the proceedings of the
United States against Gideon A. Gibbs,
charged with embezzlement OF funds re
ceived by him in naturalization cases The
Jury was completed at the morning ses-
sion yesterday and on the opening OF
court in the afternoon former County
Clerk J. L Eldredge was called to the
stand to testify. Mr.. Eldredge testified
that Gibbs had been employed as deputy
county clerk under him and that he had
been given charge of all the work pertain
ing to the filing of naturalization papers
After Mr.. Eldredge had given his testi-
mOny the counsel for the defense ad-
dressed the court and made lengthy talk
on a point of law, holding that the in
dictment against Mr.. Gibbs was not prop
erly returned. He held that the impigra-
ton laws made the public officers respon-
sible for the money received in their Of
fees in naturalization cases and that as
Mr. Gibbs was not a public officer the
government had no jurisdiction. Attorney
Smith, counsel for the defense, held that
Mr. Gibbs was not a public officer. The
matter vas taken under advisement by
Judge Munger. who will render a decision
this morning at 10 o'clock. Should Judge
Munger decide that Gibbs was not a
public officer it will mean that the case
against Gibbs will have to be dismissed.

Steam Pipe Blew Out.

From an unofficial source It was learned
that stedmpipe aboard the Birmingham,
leading from the boilers to the forward
engine, blew out late yesterday, and five
cylinders Of that engine were damaged. 1t
was evident that the trouble extended to
the forward battery of boilers, for almost
as soon as the cruiser anchored, her crew
started to work unshipping the forward
smOkestack, which was discOlOred from
burns.
Captain Howard of the Birmingham
said the trouble briefly was that the for
ward engine was badly damaged. He
made port under one engine.
He said he could have kept at sea for
an indefinite time had it been necessary,
and that he cruiser at all times was
ser<iceable. Until q survey is completed.
Captain Howard said he could not tell
how long his ship would be laid up.
