the teams at their best. SO let's start

played together so long that they know
just what TO do and what the other
fellow is going to do at the right mo-
ment.
There has been a lot of talk OF late
that the Cubs appear to be going back.
few York critics informed me that the
club looked awfully bad when PLAYING
the Giants at the Polo Grounds on this
last trip. Now, let me tell you why
they didn't look as good as usual
When a club has the pennant cinched

the Cubs are going into with the Ath-
ietics. they naturally let up a bit. |
don't mean that the Cubs are laying
down so as TO let the other teams gain
prestige. Nothing like that at all. They
are simply going to take advantage of
their position and get all the rest they
can.
have also heard IL said that the
Cubs have too many veterans on the

some thing. There are four men on that
club who are playing better ball today
They are Tinker. Hoffman. Schultz and
Evers. That quartet is simply play

them to be big factors in winning the
championship for the Chicago club.
Now, 1 have told you what 1 think OF

PINNER'S POINT
wins ITS CASE

NORFOLK, VA Special-Judge
James Keith, of the Supreme Court
OF Appeals refused an ap-
pliCatlC ior an injunction TO PIE
vent the Incorporation Of the town OF
Primers Point The application was
made by Major Heth Tyler. repre-
senting interests in the proposed new
town.
Major Tyler. in mis- application,
contended that the act of legislation
which Incorporated the town is un-
constitutional in many ways The APP
plication was to be made TO the court
in Norfolk county Monday morning.
Behind the opposition TO the move
ment is an election on the question
day of next week. The election is or
dered for the Western Branch Dis
trict OF the county of Norfolk. II is
held that the district will vote dry
and il is claimed that it is TO allow
the town of Primers Point to pass
on the question for itself, that the
question has been raised as 10 the
constitutfonality OF the act.
incidentally, il is worthy OF note
that there are parties interested in
the opposition TO incorporate not af-
filiated with either faction in the To-
who are interested. The opposition
TO Incorporating is based partly on
the subject of taxation which will
follow IL the town is incorporated.
Major Tyler said that he believed
that the Western Branch District will
vote out the saloons. just what the
effect OF the vote would be in an cleo
ton held in the town of Primers
Point he was not prepared to say.
Major Tyler will be in court Mon
day morning and the fight against
Incorporating the town will be waged
before Judge Joseph T. Lawless. Of
that county. who is vested with abso-
lutte power in the matter. The only
avenue left al this time is to ask for
a writ OF prohibition TO restrain the
court, and the chances are greatly
against any such step.
II the vote shall be taken Tuesday
on making the district dry. and Judge
Lawless shall grant the petition pro-
Viding for Incorporating Pinners
Point, the voters therein at this time
will be estopped from participating in
the election and will have no voice in
what may be done by the county on
the question OF local option.

SENATOR'S WIFE IS
SEVERELY INJURED
Especial to The Herald.l

VENICE, Feb. 27.-The right foot of
Mrs. j. C. Curtiss, wife of lawyer and
state senator of, Aberdeen, South Da-
kota, was so badly crushed by car
this evening that it had to be ampu-
tated just below the knee.
Fred Wilson, a young man from Los
Angeles, who witnessed the accident,
sickened, reeled away and fell in a
faint across the second track, and but
for the prompt act of a woman would
have been run over by train bearing
down from another direction. She
dragged him away while others in the
crowd appeared dumfounded.
Mrs. Curti5s was in the company Of
her husband and Dr. William Dodge of
Los Angeles, and had just come out
from the city. They were on the first
car of a two-car train, and it was not
until this was again in motion that
they hurriedly decided to get off at
Windward avenue. The other two
alighted safely, but Mrs. Curtiss collld-
ed with one of the Venetian pillars and
she fell back with her right foot across
the rail. The foot was badly crushed.
She was taken to the Santa Monica Bay
hospital. Her condition is not consid-
cred serious. The accident was not OBJ
served by anyone on the train, and it
proceeded on.
