ERICKSON'S FAST WORK

Vancouver took both games from
Tacoma. Even though the fielders
were playing a ragged and erron-
eous game behind him. Erickson of
Vancouver sent the Tigers off the
grounds with neither hits nor runs.
The score was 3 to 0 in favor of
the Champions.
Newlin, in the box for Tacoma,
put up a good game and the entire
Tiger team was right down to bust
ness throughout, playing a game
free from errors.
Erickson's work, considering the
obstacles thrown in his way by the
errors Of his fellow players, is a
feature of the seasons league ball.
The morning game was won by
Vancouver by a score of to /,
with Gilligan pitching. Berger was
in the box for the Tigers. Little
excitement interspersed the con-
test.

Brains are the most valuable as

Hundreds of thousands, yes, mil

Base ball brains command thou
sands where a cunning arm or an

ball brains are different from any
other gray matter. AS a rule, they
are not good for much outside Of
base ball, but they are powerful
good when working at their spe-
cialty.
Base ball brains show in ability
to think quickly and act instantly;
in the nerve to pull off a daring
play unhesitatingly; in the instant
execution of an idea; in the work

SACRAMENTO, July 3.-Back
east, when he was catching for the
Boston Red Sox, they called him
"old Charlie Graham" but out
here he's the youngest old fellow
you ever saw, Mr.. Fan. He is not
only playing the game of his life,
but he also is showing managerial
abilities of no mean quality. When
he took the local team out of the
outlaw organization and jumped
into the Coast league he made the
move of his life. Sacramento
simply went dippy and every man,
woman and child in town became a
thirty-third degree fan, But when
the Senators, as Graham's players
are called, got off with a rush and
took the lead in the race there
was an awful jump in the straight
jacket market. Then they began
naming the kids after Graham and
theh mobs followed him wherever
he went.
Graham has gathered mighty
classy bunch of players, and even
if he fails to capture the pennant,
Sacramento will swear by him for
next season.

CIMARRON MEN HONORED
Carnegie Hero Commission Rewards
Deeds of Brave Men.

Cimarron, Kan, Nov. A. Clarence M.
Thompson of this city received a large
silver medal and 1000 for his work in
trying to save the lives Of Eugene G.
Davis and Nelson G.. Thompson, his
son, May Is, 1909. Davis and Nelson
Thompson were digging a well on the
Davis farm, IL miles from Cimarron.
They set off a blast. Five hours later
they started to enter the well when
Davis fell to the bottom of the well
and was seriously injured.
Young Thompson climbed down the
well and hitched a rope about Davis
and had two women above hitch a mule
to the rope to pull him up, but the
derrick at the top of the well was top
pied over, leaving both men in the well,
which was not yet rid of gas. The
elder Thompson was summoned. He
went into the well, tied ropes about
both of the men and had them dragged
to the surface, though they were dead
Thompson was rescued two hours later
more dead than alive.
William A. Bayless also received q
silver medal and $1,000 for his work in
the rescue of the older Thompson d.
the Davis well accident. Bayless reach
ed the well after the bodies of Davis
and the younger Thompson had been
drawn up and tried to get some answer
from the older Thompson.
He was lowered into the we'll and

then lowered again and Bay1ess had

ARCHDUKE JOHN DEAD.
Austria Orders the Body Be Found
and Identified.

- Denver, Nov. 4.-Archduke Johann
Salvatore of Austria, known also as
John Orth and John Salvador, died in
known when the Austrian consul,
George Won Grivicio called on Mayor
Speer and asked his assistance
in finding the body of the supposed
nobleman. Under what name he lived
here and died here is a mystery.
Although Salvatore has been absent
from Austria for many years it is evil
dent that the Austrian government
has kept track of him. A cable from
the state department at Vienna, tel
egram from the Austrian ambassador
at Washington and notification from
the Austro- Hungarian consul at San
Francisco conveyed the intelligence
of the archduke's death to the local
Austrian consulate and gave instruc-
tions that the body be found and
properly identified.
Last year the archduke was discov-
cred in gainesville, O., living under
the name of John Salvador or John
Orth, and he is believed to have come
to Denver soon after that time. May
or Speer admitted that search was
being made in accordance with the
request of the Austrian government.
Unusual interest was manifested at
the Austro- Hungarian embassy in
Washington last May over the report
that Archduke Johann Salvatore of
Austria, who renowned his rights
nearly twenty years ago, was working
as machinist in gainesville, o.
Archduke Johann is supposed to have
been in a ship which sank off Argen-
tina nineteen years ago. However,

LYNCHING imminent.
Two Negroes Are Held for Assault on
a White Woman.

Gassaway, w. Va. Nov. 4.-Every
precaution is being taken today to
prevent the lynching of two negroes
under arrest in connection with an
attack made yesterday on Mrs. Albert
Lockhold, a white woman, by three
negroes, one of whom was run down
last evening by an Infatuated crowd
and riddled with shot.
Word from the Lockhold home at
Exchange, near here. is that Mrs.
Lockhold will recover.
The Jail is heavily guarded by
deputies armed with rifles.
One of the prisoners, John Robin
son of Elkins, w. Va, protests his in
nocence. The other refuses to talk.
The assault on Mrs. Lockhold was
most brutal. After breaking into the
house the three negroes tied the hus-
band hand and foot and before his
eyes ill-treated his wife. Soon after
the negroes departed Lockhold freed
himself and summoned aid among the
farmers. One of the men. Charles
Lewis was traced to a small store in
the vicinity of the Lockhold home,
and shot dead as he reached in his
pocket for a weapon. Several hours
later the men now under arrest were
captured

Two Little Girls in Kansas City Pick
Up 500 Worth.

Kansas City Nov. 4.-Nobody in
Kansas City who has SO bill thinks
IS much of all that money as Loretta
Haurahan of 1925 Forest avenue and
Marie Fitzgerald of 1872 Campbell
street think of theirs. These proprie-
tors of swollen fortunes are 9 and 10
years old, respectively, and their SO
bills are rewards for finding $500
worth of diamonds belonging to Mrs.
M. A. Fyke of lilo Forest avenue. The
diamonds were lost from a pocket of
Mrs. Fyke's skirt Monday afternoon.
When ST. Patricks school at Eighth
and Cherry streets was dismissed that
afternoon, Marie went home with Lo-
retta. AS the two were skipping along
Forest avenue near Twelfth street,
Marie's foot tripped on a small
chamois bag. The two saw it at the
same time, but in the rush to pick it
UP, Marie was first. She opened 1t and
there right on top was a great big,
The little party escorted the
chamois bag back to it's owner. Lo-
retta took one final, fearful look at the
greenback. Mrs. Fyke described the
jewelry perfectly. There could be no
doubt.
"Here!" called Mr.. F'yke as the two
little girls turned to leave, there's a
small present for you," and he gave
each SO bill.
Ten dollars. The little girls were
friends again. The street felt crowded
as they walked down it with all that
money. Marie declared that she was
going to invest her entire fortune in

the gainesville machinist, told a

Orth, or Salvatore, at that time was
earning SIS a week, in the Coe ma
chine shop. He wore his beard cut
in the fashion adopted by the En-
peror Franz Josef, and with his derby
hat easily might have posed for a
replica of a photograph of the emper-
or taken in hunting costume. Last
August a statement issued from the
office of the Austrian consul in Cleve-

didn't change Orth's mind any.
