CHICAGO. February 1S.--.A mysterious
case that has put the police at sea deNel-
oped when the unconscious form of Miss
Ella Gingles was found lashed to the sup
ports of a bathtub in the Wellington Ho-
tel, in the heart of the city, yesterday.
Whether she was the victim of plot AS
she incoherently alleges In her few con
scious moments, or chose fantastic means
to retaliatc on q woman whom she be
lieved to have been her enemy. is the
question that the police set about to solve.
When chambermaid at the Wellington
Hotel cn her rounds reached the public
ba athroom OH the fourth floor she found
the door bolted from the inside. The
house carpenter, removing the transom.
craWled into the room, which was dimly
| lighted by candle which had nearly
burned out.
| He opened the door, and discovered Miss
Gingles, clad only in a nightgown, bound
to the bathtub, which was half filed with
blood colored water.
The girls hands were tied with light
binding cord and fastened to the legs at
the head of the tub. 4 second cord.

Recognized Woman as Captor.

The name of Miss Agnes Barrett was
brought into the case in the course OF
Capt. O'Brien's brief talk with the pa
,ient at the hospital. Miss Gingles said
she recognized the woman who helped
seize her as Miss Barrett, who conducts
lace shop in the Wellington Hotel build
ing.
A few weeks ago Miss Barrett caused
the arrest OF Miss Gingles, who is nine
teen years old. on "A charge Of stealing
$50 worth of lace from the store, where
she was employed Miss Gingles came II
Chicago two months ago from Ireland,
and being a lacemaker. found employ
mAnt with Miss Barrett.
This employment ceased with the theft
charge. The case was not pressed but
the Irish Fellowship Club. believing the
girls story that she was prosecuted and
that the lace taken was some she had
made herself and which belonged 10 her,
took up the ease.
An indictment charging the theft was
brought in order. it was planned. that the
girls name might be cleared Mr.. O'Don-
nell was retained to defend her and sh.
often called thereafter at his office and
al his home.
She spoke indefinitely al times OF perse-
cution and of fearing that bodily harm
would be done her. Little attention was
paid to her talk. however, as il was
ascribed To q nervous condition due 10
her recent troubles with Miss Barrett.

WELLS-FARGO TEAM
DEFEATS KAHN-BECkS

The Wells-Fargo baseball team yes
terday afternoon at the South Side
Athletic diamond defeated the Kahn
Beck baseball team by the shutout
route, the score being to 0.
The pitching OF d. Smith for the win
ners, who struck out twelve, was a
feature. Studley played in big league
style at first base, bringing down a
couple of high balls by the aid of u
stepladder sent to the initial sack by
Mart Fat" Leahy. Martin, who is
the Beau Brummel of the team, circled
the bases for a three-base hit and
caught a good game, only two of the
opposing players purloining a base on
him. Richards for the Kahn-Be
team was the star player at first, hav-
ing to his credit twelve putouts with
out an error. There were two Smiths
in the game-D. Smith, twirler for the
winners, and Jim Smith for the losers.
The former struck out twelve and the
latter three. A little maid in the
grandstand was heard to remark: "I
wonder why Jim Smith left home"

ATHLETICS

week when they looked at the per-
centage column, but this week they
are figuring seriously on the schedule,
wondering if it will be possible for that
terrific aggregation from the southern
city to overtake them. Look out for
breakers Mohler. Those Angels are
fearful finishers.
"I believe that Hans Wagner is the
most valuable baseball player in the
game today" said President Charles A.
Comiskey of the White Sox, in re-
cent tanning bee, according to Chl-
cago scribe. The wonderful work OF
the Pittsburg team was being dis
cussed by the Old Roman and party
of friends, and, of course, wagner
name was often mentioned
81 have watched Wagner's work for
many years now" continued Comis-
key "and every year l have been more
and more impressed by the htgh-class,
consistent game the big fellow puts up.
His value to the Pittsburg team can
not be overestimated, and l think that
if he asked for salary of S5O,OOO
year popular opinion in Pittsburg
would force Barney Dreyfuss to pay it
to him If he went broke in doing it.
In reading the accounts of Pittsburg' S
recent games, one is struck Ly the
number of times he reads about Wag-
ner's hit scoring some one and then
Wagner stole second. In every game
he takes part in one or more plays
that are instrumental in bringing vic
tory to the Pirates"
The opinion of Comiskey was shared
by all his hearers, although they were
all ardent American league fans. When
an American league enthusiast admits
that the most valuable man in baseball
is a National Lacquer then it must be
true.
Wagner is reputed to be drawing a
salary of $4,000 for this season, and
he is earning every cent of it. His
batting, fielding and work on the bases
stand out above that of any other
member of the team. He is the best
man on the team in every department
Age does not appear to wither the
wonderful ability of the mighty Ger
man. as he is better now than he was
in 1897 when he Joined the old Louis
vile team in the National league In
the last three years he has led the
league in batting each season. He had
a higher average last season than in
either of the two preceding years. In
the past twelve years Wagner's lowest
average was .305 and his highest $3.50.
Following are his batting averages
from 1897 to 1908.

RowDY GAME AT SANTA FE

The Golden State Stars in a seven
inning rowdy game of baseball on the
Santa Fe diamond yesterday defeated
the Santa Fes by a score of to 5.
In the last of the seventh inning
there was home run by Miller for the
Golden State team, and in dispute
over the umpire's decision the entire
crowd marched out on the field in a
body and the players were about to do
bodily harm to him when the crowd on
the side lines stopped what looked for
a while a free-for-all melee.
The umpire was called upon ia
change his decision, but to no avail.
The feature of the game was the pitch
ing of Acuna, who struck out fifteen
men, and his heavy hitting, the twirler
making a. two and ee-bagger and a
single out of three times at bat.
Miller for the winners, with the bases
full, sent the Spaulding out for three
base hit, scoring all before him.

Race in Light Wind

After one or two attempts to catch
the pace, Duer finally tackled on to
the back of the big motorcycle and
held his pace well throughout the en-
tire ten miles, the big wind shield with
which this pacing machine is equipped
serving to protect Duer from the light
wind that was blowing across the
track as he flew through the straight
aways and dug into the curves.
Duer is a Buffalo boy, who has been
seen on several previous occasions in
this city, and his performance yester-
day puts him in a class with Samuel
son, the crack Salt Lake rider who gave
number of splendid exhibitions at
the Coliseum several weeks ago. 1t
was hoped by Duer and his pace maker,
Lingenfelder, that the ten miles might
be negotiated at a clip better than a
mile a minute, but as matter of fact
this really was too much to be ex-
pected, when it is considered that Ling
enfelder and Duer have had but little
opportunity for try-out practice neces-
sary to achieve SO marvellous a speed.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 27.-More
than $4,000 people turned out today at
Recreation park to see the Seals win
the final game of the series, but the
Angels were too much for them and
won, to 2, breaking even on the days
playing, as the Seals won the morning
fracas, to 2. 1t looked at the outset
as if the Seals would capture the aft
ernoon game, for they took an early
lead off Nagle, who was evidently not
yet rested from that historic nineteen
inning game. Corbett was also touched
up in the early innings, but it was
fortunate, perhaps, for the Angels that
Nagle injured his knee in sliding home
from third and had to retire. Tozer,
who replaced Walter in the third, was
as steady as an eight-day clock. Three
scattering hits were all the Seals could
make off the new conner, and there was
not an inning of the last six in which
they looked to be dangerous.
The Seals made most of their hits in
the first inning, and they were all
scratches. Zieder bounced one to Ma
gle that was not easily handled and
was sacrificed to second by Mohler.
Tenant put the ball over Nagle's head
and then the pair tried a double steal.
Tenant was caught between first and
second but Dillon made a poor throw
to Smith at third and Zeider was safe
at the home plate.
The Angels started activities in the
second when Beall put line drive just
inside third. Wheeler attempted to
sacrifice and was safe when Corbett
made a wild throw to first. The mis-
play took Beall to third and he scored
on Smiths out.
San Francisco took the lead in the
same inning, for the last time, when
Berry opened with a single, stole sec
end was sacrificed to third and tailed
or Corbetts single. Orendorff laid
down a bunt at the commencement of
the third and Nagle walked. Daley
sacrificed and both men scored when
Ross hit the ball to center. Two more
Los Angeles runs were added in the
sixth on an error and two singles and
still another In the eighth when Dillon
walked, went to second on McArdle'
error stole third and came home on
Wheeler's sacrifice fly. =.
There was plenty of excitement at
the morning game. Browning ana
Briswalter were matching wits and
Browning won, although it was not
without fight on his hands. The
Seals took the lead fairly early in the
race. Los Angeles could do nothing
until the ninth. Then with Daley out.
Ross singled and Dillon hit the ball
safely. both scoring on BealPs triple.
Wheeler sent a grounder to infield
and on the throw in Beall was called
out by McGreevy. The scores in de-

TEDDY BEARS DEFEAT
ANAHEIM BY WALKOVER

The Teddy Bears baseball team yes
terday afternoon defeated the Anaheim
baseball team on the country diamond
by the one-sided score of IL to l. The
country club used four pitchers in an
effort to down the Teddy Bears, but to
no avail. Derenia, who twirled the en-
tire game for the winners, had his
playing clothes on, and besides strik-
ing out seven against Hansen's four,
Carpenters three and Huntington S
three, made three hits and one assist
for his aggregation.
In the fourth. fifth and sixth innings
the winners took a batting rally and
score most of their runs. Anaheim in
the third inning sent Hatfield over the
plate and failed to score after that
inning. Mack, Cowan, McKeen and
Ferraris were the heavy stickers for
the winners. The winners got fourteen
hits and the losers three.
