COMISKEY IN CHARGE.
POpuIar' MaEnate Brings Results
with White sOx.

OwneE Comiskey has assumed personal
charge Of the Chicago White Sox. with
the result that they have been climbing
the ladder steadily Of late. Comiskev
has not forgotten how TO run ball
team. He was a successful team man
ager when he won pennants with the
old St Louis Browns and developed
many stars. Under his leadership, Foutz
Caruthers. Bushong. Latham. O'Nefl
Robinson, Curt Wclch, Silver King. Jack
Boyle. Tommy Mccarthy, and other fam
Gus stars won their spurs.
These men were under an iron rule
which. however, failed 70 work with
similar success when Comiskey took hold
OF the Chicago Brotherhood Club in
1880. In that combination Of diamond
stars. Comiskey had rival factions to
deal with.
He found II impossible TO weld together
a winning team made up OF Pfeffer VIII
Hanson, Latham, Mark Baldwin, O'NeiI.
King. Boyle, and others. He was also up
against a hard game as manager of the
Cincinnati Reds, but when he estab-
lished the White Sox and had his own
way in the selection of players he re-
established himself as a successful man.
ager, with the result that he has cleaned
up nearly half a million dollars II Is
said that Comiskey will spend nearly
$4,000 for new talent before next sea-
son rolls around

STRIKE AT SOLDIERS HOME.
Mattresses in Dining Room Walk
Out In a Body.

Marion. Ind. July 2S.-For two hours
to-day Mai. George w. Steele. governor
Of the Soldiers Home here, was In
state OF great perplexity owing TO a strike
Of the Mattresses IN the institution.
The trouble arose over an order which
requires all persons not employed in the
home 10 leave the reservation at O'Clock.
A few nights ago some Of the young men
callers were ordered from the grounds
and the Mattresses filed complaints, IN
sistiag that their company be allowed 70
remain after taps.
The demand was not compiled with,
and just as dinner was announced the
Mattresses walked out in a body. jam
tors and others were summoned, the vet
Grams were patient. and the dinner was
finally served. When Mai Steele tried
10 settle the trouble the mattresses would
not hear Of any compromise They want
ed their company 10 remain a reasonable
time, saying that the young men did not
and could not come until about o'clock.
and Il was unreasonable TO limit their
stay 20 one hour. The matter was finally
settled, and IL is thought that Maj. Steele
surrendered gracefully after having been
reminded Of his own youth.

Graham proved easy for the heavy-hit-
ting Union Station team in the r. r.
Y. NJ. c. A. League yesterday, and the
Adams team never had a look-in after
the first round.
The game was full OF good plays. In
the seventh. when the Adams outfit look
ed particularly dangerous, Pitcher Rup-
pert pulled OF a neat play that probably
saved a batting rally and at least three
runs. There were three men on bases
and none out, and Barnes was playing
way off the initial sack. Rupert sud
denly whipped the ball over and caught
him mapping. Barron, meanwhile starting
home from third First Baseman Nc
knight threw to the plate and Flynn
declared Brown out. although the play
was close.
Harvey would have had two hits TO his
credit, but did not touch FIRST base and
was called out. thereby costing his team
run.
Rupert pitched a fine game, and fan
ned eleven men. Score.

InaW OOrrectd Jerome
In each sally Thaw was Immediately 70
the fore with an answer and once he
corrected Jerome and had him refer TO
the minutes OF the first trial 10 prove
that he had been in error. Jerome made
the reference and admitted the error,
which the witness had caught by act Of
his memory only.
Didn't you once say TO one OF your

Yes. I think I did say that 10 Mr.

he has that kind Of eyes. But that was
not the reason that I did not ike him.
I am prejudiced against DR.. Hamilton
because other alienists had told me that
his conduct is unbecoming.'
He took pains several times TO see that
his answers got into the record correctly.
Whenever Jerome read from the record,
copies Of letters he had written 20 An
thony COmstOck or 70 LOngfellow, his
lawyer, Thaw held the originals in his
hand and followed the reading, word for
word. once Jerome asked him II he had
entertained any idea that there was O
conspiracy of rich criminals In New
York to send him to the asylum Thaw
said that what Jerome had once said
himself had helped TO support the credi-
bility Of that idea In his own mind.

queried the interrogation.

He took the volume Of typewriter pages.
and In a few minutes he came upon a cl-
tatiOn from Jerome's speech to the jury
that did make mention Of the possibility
Of such a conspiracy.
Jerome wanted TO know II Evelyn Thaw
had not threatened 20 get divorce be-
cause Of his 'practice Of whipping girls.
The witness instantly denied that such
was the case. Asked II he would waive
the privilege OF a husband and allow his
wife to appear TO testify on this score,
ne refused.
Jerome Changes Tactics.
After Jerome had spent FIVE hours hurl-
ing questions at his witness he suddenly
changed tactics.
Why was it that Thaw would not con-
sent to q private examination before
aIienists out OF court, rather than have
to sit there publicly and reveal much
that must be Notifying? Despite the
agreement made before Jerome entered
the case that all examination by alien
lists should be held In open court, did not
Thaw think that his interests could be
best conserved by such a private exami-
nation?
"A bargains a bargain was Thaw's
terse reply. THE bargain was made be-
fore you entered the case. 1 see no rea-
son why you should change. I am salts
fed. go ahead and finish now"
But I've only begun" snapped Jerome.
"TH keep this up for two more days II
you prefer this style OF examination"
Go ahead was Thaw's cool rejolnder.
I'm agreeable"
