A HOT BALL game
: At PHILADELPHIA
ONE HUNDRED POLICEMAN ARE
PLACED ON THE GROUNDS FOR
+. THE PROTECTION OF THE
GREAT "TY" COBB.

Philadelphia, Sept. 16.-Philadel.
phia today defeated Detroit in the
first game Of what is considered te
be the crucial series Of four contests
for the American League pennant by
2 to 1.
Although showers fell before and
during the play nearly $4,000 persons
saw the game, with the players sur
rounded by hundred policemen who
had been sent to the grounds to pre-.
vent trouble and to protect right
fielder Cobb of Detroit, who had
received threatening letters because
of his having spiked Baker of Phil
adelphia during the recent series be-
tween these teams at Detroit.
The only incident which required
interference of the police was when
D. Jones was accused of making an
objectional remark to Murphy as the
latter passed the bench. Murphy
lrew back his arm as if to strike
JONES' but policeman prevented the
blows from bringing blood.
The game resulted in a pitchers
battle between Plank and Summers,
in which the latter did the better
twirling, while Plank received per-
feet support. Errors by Detroit lost
the game. Plank got out of several
tight situations by mastery pitching.
In the third inning Detroit filled the
bases on two singles and a base on
balls with one out. Cobb, however,
was struck out for the second time,
during the game and Crawford gave
Davis an easy grounder. Philadel-
phia scored enough runs to win the
the game in the fourth inning. Bar
ry had his grounder to Moriarity
beaten out, but the latter threw wild
to first and the runner reached sec
ond. On Collins bunt T. Jones first
fumbled the ball and then threw
wild, Barry scoring and Collins reach
ing second. Baker sacrificed, sHnd-
ing Collins to third and the latter
scored when Bush threw Davis out
Detroit scored in the sixth inning.
Crawford drew four balls and stole
second and Delhanty was hit by a
pitched ball. Murphy made a great
running catch of Moriarity's fly but
he threw wild trying to double Dele
hanty at first and Crawford went to
third.

(By Associated Press.)

New York, Sept. 16.--The ten
round bout between Stanley Ketchell,
middle weight champion, and Sam
Langford, the negro pugilist, which
was scheduled for tomorrow night at
the Fairmont Athletic club here, was
suddenly called off today as the result
of the interference of Governor
Hughes, District Attorney Jerome
and Sheriff Foley. It is believed in
sporting circles that the decision Of
the police to insist upon the strict
letter of the law means the stopping
of all fighting in New York City for
some time to come
There is no possibility of arrange
ments being made to hold the Ketch-
ell-Langford bout at any other time
or place, as Ketchell tonight received
telegram summoning him to leave
at once for the Pacific coast to pre-
pare for his fight with Johnson, Oc-
tober IL.
Both Ketchell and Britt, his mana
ger expressed regret at the calling
off of the Langford bout. Ketchell
even went so far as to say that he
was willing to go into the ring for.
free bout, if this was found to be
within the law, and Langford's con-
sent could be obtained.

for the peremptory dismissal of
CLAWS, it having been stated at the
department early in the day that a
formal order in case probably would

With, the, removal of CLAWS, the
long pending controversy is now re-
garded as a closed incident so far as
officials of the interior department
are concerned. Ballinger who is suf-
fering with an attack of bronchitis
was not at his Office today, but it was
stated for him that he would have
no further comment to make upon
the case. Commissioner bennett, of
the general land Office expressed him
self as highly gratified over the de-
cision of the president vindicating
the department officials and declared
that it was the natural conclusion to
be drawn from the matter.

NO SUCH TEST.

The apparent anxiety to throw
some of the responsibility for the
custom frauds at New York upon
the civil service is not beyond easy
comprehension. The civil service
principle is no more popular today
among the professional politicians
and the element associated with
them than 1t ever was. Anything
that can be used to discredit the
merit system is welcomed and
promptly used.
But the statement issued by the
commission should effectually dis
pose of that insinuation. The fact
that most of the 22 assistant weigh
ers involved in the sugar frauds were
appointed through the civil service
does not in any way discredit the
principle of that selection. No test
for honesty has yet been discovered
that will enable the civil service

distributors of patronage or anyone
else to guarantee that Dien selected
for responsible positions will not sue

THE CAT AND THE BABY.
A Medical Opinion as to the Tradition
of Feline Danger.

Several physicians have Investigated
the ancient story that cats suck the
breath of babies. and DR.. j. Rice Gibbs
Cats occasionally kill children. he de-
clares, but they do It In different
fashion.
1T has been stated that a cats nos
trils are so formed as to make per-
feet juncture with the nose OF u baby"
said DR.. Gibbs. "and that little pres.
sure would push them upward and
make them perfect 6t Then che
cats chin would rest over and below
the baby's mouth. prev enting it from
opening to relieve the strangulation
while the cat sucked its breath. That
is all rot. The manner in which lit
tie children are killed by cats Is this:
A cat looking for a warm place to
curl up and sleep lies down upon the
chest of little child. aud. being quite
heavy-many cats are as heavy as
little bables-simply crushes the breath
out of the child's lungs. and strangu-
lation takes place. but not through
sucking Of the child's breath.
THE idea that only black cats kill
little babies is equally ridiculous. 1t
is simply because black cats are con-
sidered unlucky. In former times the
black cat was considered the very
genius OF witchcraft In those days
when baby died the blame was often
fixed upon some hag who, the judges
said, had sent a black cut to suck the
baby's breath And often bag and cat
suffered death at the stake.
Evil omen is still the, cry in many
parts of the world whenever a black
cat approaches cradle. Many per.
sons are so spperstitious that the ap-
pearance OF a black cat In sick room
Is considered equivalent to an an
nouncement OF approaching death.
What could be more absurd?
Mothers need not be afraid Of cats,
black. white or green, sucking their
babies breath and numbering them.
It Is time that this popular fallacy
should be exploded. - New York
