According to the United States So

common to nnumeiabie groups Of
criminals operating under the direction
of some secret central government
These men are blackmailers. using
murder. arson. kidnapping and bomb
throwing as punishments for those
who will not submit, TO their Ubiquitous
demands Black Hand is. iu short, a
handy name for brand OF crime pc
culiar TO Italian criminals who are sue
cessful in it because OF the tenpera
ment Of the foreign immigrants aud
their Unborn dread of the extortionist
Whether the central government which
guides the Black Hand society is 10
Gated in the United States or in Italy
is something which neither the Italian
nor American authorities can discover
United States officers say the nume Of
the American Black Hand emanated
from Chicago about ten years ago.
when one of the hrst of many mystic
rious murders In the Italian quarter
remained unsolved. The victim OF the
murder had received warning that
death would follow his failure to con

letter was embellished with crude
drawing representing fist clutching d

The Board of Local improvements
probably will do we'll to investigate
thoroughly grounds for the suspicion
raised by Aldermen Cannon and Will
liams, that there was collision be-
tween contractors in the bids on paw.
ing Eighth and Sycamore streets.
That this shall be done is due the
bidders as well as the people who are
to pay for the improvement. The
aldermen named deserve credit for
raising the question and have plaus.
ible ground for their suspicion in the
fact that the bids for paving these
streets are considerably higher than
were the bids for similar work on
other streets, being $175 a square
yard on Eighth street and $1.S7 on
Sycamore street, while Walnut street
was built for $l.5S and Elm street for
$l.64 a yard. The claims Of the con-
tractors that cement is higher than
II was and that the long haul Of ma
terial to upper Sycamore street Is a
factor, deserve attention and doubt
less will be given full weight accord
ing to the merit. The people look
to their representatives to protect
their interests and indications are
that they will not look in vain.

WILL. THROW GOLF BALL
FAR AS IT CAN BE HIT

NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-How far
can Tyrus Cobb, Hans Wagner or Ma
poleon Lajoie bat a baseball, either
by fungo batting or hitting 1t as IL is
pitched? How far can such long driv-
ers as Fred Herreshoff or Alex Smith
drive a golf ball from a tee? II is
dollars TO a red apple that either of
these golfers can drive as many yards
as any one OF the trio Of the worlds
best batters can feet
All Of this by way OF a little story
about bet recently made between a
Philadelphia golfer and man who
scorns the game of golf. The time
was noon and the place was a promi-
nent restaurant. Golfers Ike a tall
shop, and as there were several in
the party the discussion grew a bit
tiresome to the nongolfer. Finally
listener who doesn't play
jimmied his way into the conversation
by remarking. What is the betting
that can't throw golf ball around
your links and do II In fewer throws
than you will with your clubs?'
Every golfer in the party rushed
into the breach and finally one OF
them said: "Jones"-that isn't the
nongolfer's name, but II will do-'Tn
bet ten to one that I will beat you
in an eighteen-hole match. using my
usual clubs and playing the rules as
laid down by the United States Golf
association.

TIGERS ARE In BAD SHAPE
TO START EASTERN TRIP

The Tigers go east Sunday after
noon for a series of Ia games In a
badly befuddled condition. Manager
Hughie jennings has been suspended
indefinitely for his mixup with I'm
pire KERN Wednesday. Catcher
Schmidt defied the authority OF the
arbitrator Friday. refused to leave the
bench till the watch was pulled and
probably will receive the same dose
that was handed the manager. and
Davy Jones Is out with damaged
finger.
Jones has been getting to first base
with some degree OF regularity and
was hitting around $50 OH the season.
He will be missed. for Matty Mcintyre

The Tigers do not seem In very

show and II Is unlikely that the team

see II all over the league, not only
with the home players, but with our
own club when we are in foreign
cities.
You know. they say the umpire has
no friends and that belief is one OF the
things that helps the game in the
American league. They all look alike
to the arbitrator so their decisions are
accepted with little or no argument.
II would be the same with scorers
employed by the league--they would
look to no one save the president Of
the organization.

Want. and as you do not play golf Ill

You can throw the golf ball or bat It

and hustle was displayed In one game
only during the past series. In the
others the. club loked more like Il did
during the slump In June.
The Athletics did not play brilliant
ball Friday but they did resort to the
hit-and-run play frequently and In all
but the frst inning got by with II.
Their fielding war pretty good, except
for q few slips by Harry Davis. The
Detroit team, on the other hand, put
up a poor defense. Mcintyre, Cobb
and Stanage dropped fly balls on easy
chances. The nun by Stanage looked
more glazing than the others because
Of the home run that followed, but
Mcintyre and Cobb committed their
errors early In, the contest, at a time
when the effect was more pronounced
upon the pitcher.
II is probable that Manager Jen-
nines will not be seen In uniform
again for at least week. President
Ban Johnson Is very particular about
offenses involving the authority Of the
umpire. A mere kick In strenuous
language passes with a few days, but
10 refuse to leave the field when or
dered Is considered more serious. In
protesting Manager Jennings did only
what any manager anxious to win
wou.d-go out and try to get every
thing possible.
