before pitcher like Johnson, Smith or Ruelbach, there is an altogether differ ent tale to tell.
 All three of these pitchers are noted for their excellent slab work. They have pitched sensational ball at many stages of their careers. Smith is fla nous for his low-hit games; Johnson has achieved distinction for his strike out record. and Ruelbach lead the Ma 'ional league one year for successive victories

The little professor of forestry was hitting about 400 early in the season until Walter Johnson happened to bean" him with one of his fastest shoots. For six weeks Cree wouldn't stand close enough to the plate to reach the ball with a telephone pole. Now he is hitting harder than ever. He has all his confidence back. But the pitchers of other clubs are evidently trying to scare him back or to hit him again. They figure that if Cree gets another crack on the head he will be of little batting value for the rest of the season.

Playground Ball Popular

Playground ball is our traditional game of American baseball so modi- fled that it may be played in large cities and restricted areas in spite of adverse conditions found in these places. This form of baseball is also intended to give encouragement to prolonged period of playing the nation- al game among men who have passed the age or physical condition when they may comfortably handle hard ball or run thirty yards between bases.
 Some of the more distinctive fea- lures of this game are as follows: The cost of equipment is very insignificant. there being no reason for the use of mask, protector, mitt and gloves. Ten players constitute side, thus engag- ing one more player than is engaged in a game of baseball. The game will not lend itself readily to the commer- ciaI and professional tendencies so com- mon in baseball. It is distinctly a game for pleasure, to be played by either young or old gentlemen.

I have an idea that when it comes right down to the last ditch we will have to defeat the Pirates to win the pennant In my opinion the Giants have been travelling faster than they should. Manager McGraw has a habit of carrying his men along at a pace a bit faster than they should travel. It's different with the Pirates. When Wag- ner, Clarke and Leach are going right it's mighty hard team to beat. Then the Pirates have a disconcerting habit of playing their very best ball against us

Vaiae of Athletics

Time works wonders with the points of view influencing the attitude of men toward any question and particularly the subject of athletics. Serious-mind ed men have devoted much of their time to this problem, while the aver age person has given little thought of the why.
 Athletes contribute very largely to a mans success by converting injurious tendencies and causes him to engage his time in some defined pursuit. The ath- lete benefits decidedly in the way of discipline, concentration of thought and action and creates in him remarkable powers of resistance against physical mental and moral evils.

ASsociafiOn Football

Twenty-Five years ago association football was popular in Scotland and the north of England. but was little played in the south. Now, north, south. east and west, it is by far the most popular winter pastime and draws rec ord crowds of over 100, 900 spectators to its most important fixtures. This exceeding popularity is due to its charm to the player and spectator and to its rare combination of simplicity and subtle science.
 Those who had played the game and seen this remarkable growth in Eng land know well that some day Amer ica, where the standards of sport are so familiar. would come under its spell.
 Certain conditions in New York must render its growth less rapid, and may perhaps keep it from ever occupying he place which it has in England. but his last year has shown beyond a iopDt that the game has come to stay yhen it will sit side by side with American football 5s it does with Rug

LOS ANGELES, CAL, July 23.
The climax of a mysterious
feud between Frank M. Bell and
o. P. Widaman, In which alleged
assaults and charges of perjury
and attempts to kill figured, was
reached today when Bell shot and
killed Widaman in street car at
Artesia, near Los Angeles.
The trouble between Widaman
and Bell is said to have had its
origin in a divorce suit filed
against Bell by his wife nearly
three years ago. Widaman rep
resented Mrs. Bell.
While the case was pending
Bell and Widaman met in a room
of the Hollenbeck hotel in this
city for conference. Three
shots we're fired. Each man al
legged that the other attempted
to kill him.
Bell caused Widaman's arrest
on a charge of attempting to COM
init murder, but Widaman was ac-
quilted. Immediately Widamarl
swore to a warrant for Bells ar
rest, charging perjury during the
trial. The jury which tried him
disagreed and was discharged.
Widaman was brought to Los
Angeles. where he died at the
California hospital.
Bell was arrested and Also
brought here.

HATED MAURA
IS SHOT BY
LABOR|TE
(By United Press Leased Wire.

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
MADRID, July 23.-Repubh-
cans of Spain are frenzied with
JOY today over the attempted as
sassination of former Premier
Maura, who wee shot last night
at the Francia depot in Barcelona.
Republican members of the
cortes, embodying the spirit of the
people, hastily met at midnight
following rumors of Maura's s
death. Later when it was learn
ed that he was only slightly
wounded and would recover they
resolved upon measures which
they intend shall throw open to
investigation the charges that
Maura was responsible for the
Barcelona massacre last year.
Without doubt Maura is the
most hated man in Spain and
since his retirement from the min
istry he has been guarded by gov
ernment agents from those who
have sworn to have his life In
payment for the wrongs he is al
legged to have inflicted upon the
people.
Shot i'm Station.
Maura was in the Francia sta
tion last night preparing to leave
for Palma. in the Balearic isles,
for the summer. His assailant,
Posas Roca, driver, and leader
of the laborites, fired three shots
one of which struck the former
premier in the leg.
Roca was pounced upon by
Maura's guards. Fighting des-
perately, he was borne away to
prison, while Maura was taken to
his boat, bound for Majorca.
The loyalists fear that the at
tack Is but the beginning of a
series of disorders directed at the
overthrow of the monarchy.
The significance of the attack
is shown when it Is recalled that
Senior Iglesias, leader of the re-
publicans in the cortes, recently
declared from the floor that
Maura should be shot.
