Detroit has not made much
noise In the East this season. The
first trip was an even break, but
the second was disastrous. On
the other hand, the Athletics have

been in the game but he pulled of
his sweater ana strobe to the
plate, jollying the crowd and Bet

good one, then he swung. The
ball started for short right center.
Kippert made a great run and did
not quite reach it. The ball went
under his feet and away on to the
fence.
In the meantime Tommy West,

the ball. started for home, think

Tommy came on in and the ball
went on out and Casey went on

score was tied.

Comments on Next Tuesdays Boxing
and Wrestling Show at the
Opera House.
Mis~H

While the catch-as-catch-caD wrest,
hing match between Max Miller and
Harry Treeter is the main event OF
the athletic program at the opera
house next Tuesday night, the Hull,
thinner sparring contest is attracting
much comment One man said yes
terday that he was of the opinion
that Hull would make short work OF
thinner. And this man is in a posi-
tion to know who is the best man.
But things might have changed since
both thinner and Hull performed in
Cairo last, and it is the opinion OF
r,anv enthusiasts that the battle will
be one Of the hardest fought ever
seen here. The writer is inclined to
this belief.
Those who expect to see Max Mil
ler win with ease from Treeter had
better consider the matter. While the
men hold titles in two different terri
tories. it is reasonable to suppose
that they will be about equally
matched. They weigh $50 pounds
each. One is from the east, the
other from the west, they have never
met before. and the local wrestling
enthusiasts are assured of a clever
exhibition of mat work

Rebuttal in
Hams Trial
Army Officers Testify that Captain
Acted Nationally, but Was Often
Nervous and Pale.

FLUSHING, n. Y, May THE defense
well on in examining witnesses in rebuttal
when court adjourned today in the Hams
trial. The rebuttal witnesses for the state
were principally army officers who had
been stationed at Fort Hamilton and Fort
Hancock during June. July and August,
1908, and had met and talked with Captain
Hams at that time.
Their testimony tended to controvert that
of the army witnesses for the defense In
that they all said Captain Hams spoke and
acted nationally a short time before the
shooting on August Is, last, when the de-
Tense contends he was suffering from
manic Oppressive insanity
The weight of the army officers testi-
mony as to the defendants nationality was
partly counterbslanced by their admissions,
under cross examination, that Captain
Hams had acted In a nervous and excited
maner and looked pale and worried. John
F. Mcintyre, chief counsel for the defense.
created a stir in court by questioning the
army officers to what military authorize
ton they had for appearing as witnesses
against Captain Hams. He brought out that
Captain Henry w. Torney OF Fort Han
cock, had an order signed by Colonel Heis-
tand, adjutant general of the department
Of the east directing him to appear at the
trial. Mr.. Mcintyre e~ndeavored to show
that other officers had received the same
orders and asked Captain Carney II he did
