BASEBALL DOPE

Poor Harry Pulliam. Loved as it
falls to the lot Of few men to be
loved-but a suicide! Honored by
having been elevated to one of the
highest positions of honor and
trust in the peoples most popular
game-but victim of self destruc-
ton! With salary generous
enough to permit him to. live in
luxury and indulge every whim;
with devoted friends ready, al
most, to give him their hearts
blood If necessary to aid, him, he
ended his life in the awful fashion
of one of life's wrecks, for whom
there remains no CLEAN sof hope
NThe tragic end causes less sur
Prise than sorrow. The sorrow is
genuine and deep and thousands
will mourn Pulliam like a brother,
but those nearest to him have
feared and dreaded this deed for
months. Keenly sensitive, the soul
Of honor, Pulliam let the troubles
of the base ball organization of
which he was chief rest upon his
brain and his heart as If he were
the man responsible
When, after a torrid outburst
against the National league men
he believed were bounding him,
Harry dashed hatless and coatless
from Chicago hotel one night
last February and boarded train
for some unknown destination,
mumbling inarticulate anathemas
against his supposed enemies, the
end was not hard to anticipate.
Pulliam's one fault-if fault 1t
could be called-was supersensi-
tiveness. He championed clean
ball, and he fought those magnates
who looked lightly on diamond
rowdyism. He wanted to put the
National league on the highest
! plane of sportsmanship, and he
grieved over the quarrels and
chickering's in that organization.
For four or five years he carried
on the fight with a stout heart, but
the battle finally broke him. Brain
sickness, most terrible of afflic-
tons, came upon him and resist
ed the efforts to effect cure.
Some of the forms in which this
illness manifested itself were Law.

his dearest friends; letters, filled

porters, and then, on occasion, a
stormy denunciation of some OF
the men who had opposed him.
Pulliam will be sOrely missed
Even the men who opposed him
honored and respected him for his
integrity and his ideals.
Over Pulliam's grave may appro-
priately be written:
''Died of broken heart"

SEATTLE OVERWHELMS

Cough and Seaton, Portland
pitchers, were hammered merci-
lessly by the Seattle Turks on the
Turks home grounds yesterday,
and their team met defeat by a
score to 16 to L. Seattle took Is
hits off Cough and Seaton. Cough
was taken out of the box early
and replaced by Seaton, but Seaton
failed where he was generally eff
fective. hence the awful drubbing.
Hall pitched the game for the
Turks and opened for only six hits
throughout the lopsided battle.
Those six were sufficient to win
any ordinary game, as two of them
were home runs by Mayes and

THIS APACHE LOOKS LIKE
ANOTHER TOM LONGBOAT
sp.oia, Correspondence. 20 Tn. rr.ss

Special Correspondence 70 The Press
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 3-Ari-
IONA has brought an Indian runner
to the front If he maintains the
class in style and speed he exhib-
tied in recent Is mile Marathon
race run here. in connection with
the Pacific coast track and field
championships during the Elks'
convention, Harry Mclean will
surely develop into another Tom
Longboat, the flying Indian from
Toronto, say the wise ones. :
Running easily at all times, fin
ishing with wonderful burst of
speed and outdistancing the best
amateur long distance men on the
coast by two miles, Mclean won
the 10 mile race in a sensational
fashion.
At the start of the race the Inl
dian rapidly drew away from tho
field, and then the crowd started
to yell. They thought he would
blow up. The 800 Elks and friends
greeted the red man with war;
whoops as he dashed past the
grandstand each time. But when
the twelfth and fifteenth miles had
been passed and the runner was
still keeping up his pace, the other
contestants started to look worried.
But all effors to head him proved
unavailing.
AS the Indian pulled up in front
of the grandstand the crowd arose
to its feet and cheered him. Not a
smile broke the grim lines of his
face: the Indian was deaf and
dumb to the plaudits of the spec
tators.
The most remarkable thing in
connection with the race was that
whereas many of the other runners
finished badly wlnded and hardly
able to run out the course, several
of the others having dropped out,
the Indian was not even winded.
He was breathing easily and
showed absolutely no signs of IA
tigue. His time for the IS miles
was 2:04:25 rs.
Mclean is full blooded Apache
Indian attending the Indian school
at Phoenix. His Indian name is
Takashuana, which, in Apache,
means Little Giant"
The day after the Marathon race
he came back and took first honors
in two mile run, racing in the
contest as though he had not en-
