KEEPING CLOSE TAB

DEROIT. Mich. June 21-Good
catchers just now are at a premium
in the American League. High class
receivers are always in demand. but
there are several clubs In Ban John
sons organization at the present time

windpaddist OF the Nationals When
Street fs In the game the club is well
fortified behind the bat. but what
would happen should something cause
Il would be one tough blow for the
Nationals.
McAleer has no other high-class
catcher on his pay roll; in fact, he
has only one other catcher Jack
Hardy; and while Jack is ready and
willing. he is hardly of big league cali
iber Hardy would be able 20 handle
the delivery of most OF the Washing
ton pitchers fairly well, but is not
able 20 catch Walter Johnson.
st. Louis the tall-end kids, have a
very fair catcher in Jimmy Stephens.
He is not at all spectacular. but de-
livers the goods in pretty god style.
Stephens is a small chap. none too
strong. and consequently is not a
catcher who can work every day with
out soon showing the effects. Jack
.O'Connor has two youngsters in Kill
fer and Allen. and. while both give
promise still. they are not TO be de-
pended upon.

SAVED BY THE SOLDIERS
Baptist Missionaries Get Into Serious
Difficulty and Are Rescued After
Being Besieged Some Time
in n Church

Rome, July 5.-The American amoassa-
dor. John G. A Leishman, has brought
to the attention OF the premier and the
foreign office the situation arising from
recent attacks made upon the mission
aries in the province of Avellino.
At the time of the outbreak in that
district, early in June, James P. Stuart
of St Louis, representative of the Amer
lean board OF Baptist missions in Italy,
and other missionary workers were at
tackled by a mob and were escorted out
of the district by a detachment of SOL
diers. After a conference with Premier
Luzzatti at Rome, Mr. Stuart returned
to the Avellino district. where another
attack was made upon him and his COM
panions He telegraphed a statement or
the AFFAIR TO the American ambassador
who asked him TO come TO Rome. This
Mr.. Stuart did and he had a long con-
ference with Ambassador Deishman to-
day He related further details OF the
occurrence.
Arriving at the outskirts of the village
p>ar Avellino, Mr. Stuart and three other
Missionaries were met by the chief of
police, several constables and dozen sol
diers a bowling crowd Of natives quick
" surrounded the carriage. so demon
strative did they become that it was only
with difficulty they could be restrained
BY force from doing the missionaries IN
Jury. On all sides arose the cry OF
Down with the Baptists. and shower
of stones fell about the carriage. Mr..
Stuart was hit on the chest. arm and leg.
while the chief OF police was slightly
wounded.
The soldiers. with fixed bayonets,
formed a circle around the Americans
and protected them TO the church. The
mob. however. stormed the church until
10 o'clock at night. but did no serious
damage Other soldiers were called 90 the
scene and. according to Mr.. Stuart, pre-
vented a massacre by the Infatuated Ital.
ians. who now numbered several thou

The besieged missionaries were obliged
to remain in the church the whole night
Eventually Mr.. Stuart succeeded in send
ing a telegram to the American ambassa-
dor at Rome.
The following day detail of 400 SOL
eiers was sent TO the village and the
missionaries were released from their
dangerous position.
Both Premier Luzzatti and the foreign
minister, Marquis Di San Guillano have
given assurances that measures will be
taken Immediately to prevent such dis
turbances in the future, and also that an
Investigation of the entire matter will be
made.

MOVEMENT TO STOP
FIGHT PICTURES

Boston. July 5.-William Shaw, general
secretary of the United Society of Chris
tan Endeavor, tonight announced the
beginning of a campaign against the ex-
hibition of the prize fight pictures
kilograms calling attention to the race
riots which followed in the wake of the
fight were dispatched tonight to former
President Theodore Roosevelt, Gov.
Charles E. Hughes and Mayor William
j. Gaynor of New York, asking their
cooperation in the movement for the
suppression of the pictures.
Mayor Fitzgerald will be seen tomorrow
and asked to prevent the exhibitions in
Boston. In a day or two kilograms will
be sent to the governors of all the states
making a similar request.
Declaring that Independence Day was
dishonored by brutal prize fight; that
the moral sense of the nation was out
ragged, and that the evil was nothing COM
pared to the harm which would be done
by allowing children and women to view
the reproduction of the Jeffries-Johnson
fight by moving pictures, Mr.. Shaw said
he would not give rs cents for the mo-
ton picture concessions, as no one would
want to witness the fight in scent the
aires.
