CHECH AND RYAN
SNAPPED TO MINORS,

Boston, July 26-Chech and Ryan of
the Boston American League team
have. with money consideration, been
traded to the ST. Paul club of the Am
erican Association for pitchers Karger
and Hall, who will report to the Red
SoX at once.
Hugh McBreen, treasurer of the Bos-
ton club, who is with the team on the
Western trip, telegraphed this informa-
ton from Detroit yesterday afternoon.
Eddie karger was with the St. Louis
Cardinals last season, and figured in
the three-cornered deal between New
York, St Louis and Cincinnati, Karger
and Fromme going to Cincinnati He
was considered one of the finest left
handed pitchers in the business, and
the New York Nationals once offered
st. Louis $4,000 for him. but for some
reason or other he lost control and
Cincinnati sold him to ST. Paul, where
he has been very effective this season.
"A week ago his record was FIVE games
won and one lost, leading the Ameri-
can Association pitchers in percentage
of games won by big margin.
Pres. John I. Taylor sent his scout
L,
and Donovan followed Karger two
weeks and reported that he had re-
gained his control and was doing re-
markable work. Pres. Taylor then de-
termined to get him. believing that he
could make good use of an effective
southpaw boxman.
Charles Hall. the other man secured
from st. Paul, came from the Pacific
Coast League to Cincinnati. He played
with the Reds in 1905 and part of the
season of 1906, when he was sold to ST.
ram. IN 1907 he did fairly good work
LOT tnat team. but last season and this
mas hecn very much better.
Cnariey Chech and Jack Ryan, the
pitchers disposed Of by the Boston man.

from the Clevelands as part of the "Cy"

Both boys have trained hard for this
bout and good milling is expected.
Jack O'Brien will tackle Jim Flynn
at Denver Friday night in an attractive
bout. Flynn recently administered a
severe lacing to Papke and is picked to

the latter is by far the cleverer boxer
Henry Miers, the local boy will OPP

Briton fairly close fight.
Something definite is likely to develop
this week in the proposed Langford-

his final answer to the Ely, New, club,
and business will probably be in order
for arranging the bout at New York.
Another big event in pugilism this week
is the final word of Jim Jeffries regard

Jeffries has promised to give definite
answer upon his arrival at New York,
and will then demonstrate whether he
means business or has buffaloed the

HOLLEY's COMET COMING.
Will Be First Visible Here During
September.

Next month is scheduled the visit
of Halley's comet, which visits this
earth once each IA years or rs
years. Local astronomers or those
who believe in the influence of these
starry visitors on earthly affairs will
be interested to know that this his
toric comet is about due.
1t has been about rs years since
this comet, named for its discoverer,
HALEY, the English astronomer, and
the most important Of all the COM
cts, has shown itself to terrestrial
eyes. Additional Importance is at
tached to the comet, because it is the
one which fiYit gave occasion ITO
HALEY and his successors to dis
cover the laws which these voyagers
in space obey and to determine their
orbits.
Eleven former appearances Of the
comet have been observed with ac-
curacy, dating from the year 1866,
the year of the conquest of England
by William the Conqueror, at which
time it had a great effect on the
people and the army. With less
certainty one may go back to the
year -, before our era, and assign
to- this celebrated comet rs appear
ances which have taken place in
nearly nineteen centuries, but the
older observations are not entirely
definite.
The reason why the visits Of the
comet vary from IA to 79 years is
said to be on account of the influ-
ence exerted upon it by the planets
Jupiter and Saturn, which some
times hasten and sometimes delay it.
1t was last seen in 1885. 1t will
again come into sight some time in
September of the present year, when
it will appear as round nebulous
object, its tail being stretched out in
a direction opposite to the earth with
the main part of the comet between
the two.
The best time to observe the
comet will be in September, because
at that time, on account Of the move
ment Of the earth around the sun,
the comet will appear stationary.
The comet will be in colse proximity,
| comparatively, from the latter half
of the present year throughout the
greater part Of 1910. Prior to the
time when it appears stationary in
September and after that time as
long as it is in reasonable distance
the comet will be most easily locat
ed by photography.

The charge against the woman IS
that of Illicit distilling and selling
of whiskey AS evidence Of her
guilt four gallons of whiskey and
the still used were secured by the
officers and are held as evidence.
The still, though not large one,
Is complete in every detail. 1t was
found in the house Of the old ne
gress, whose age is given as SIS years.
Despite her advanced years, Mar
garet gave the Liberty county deputy
sheriff a run for his money before
he was able to overtake her. When
the negress caught sight of the Of

a Marathon runner. After a hot
chase she was taken in hand. She
was taken to the Hinesville Jail for
safe keeping until the Federal au-
