OLD-T TIMERS AGAIN
SEEN At TRENTON
CONVENTION EVE
Greatest Crowd in Years Awaits
Opening of Democratic
State Convention.
[From a STAFF Correspondent

TRENTON, Sept. Alt is many
years since this city was visited by as
large a gathering on the eve of State
convention as was found in and around
the hotels, statehouse and other places
here today They came early and
were prepared to remain until the
Democratic State convention concludes
its mission tomorrow.
1t was an oldtime gathering which
reflected the thorough reorganization
which the party has underwent during
the last few years, and which was
shown at the primary election yester-
day. Many of the odtimers who have
been away for years on such occasions
were among the first to arrive.
That prospect or more than pros
pect of victory was in view was APP
parent on all sides. The assurance that
a majority of the thoughtful Democrats
of the State were in favor of DR.. Will
son accepting the nomination for gov
ernor was one OF the causes for the ex-
preston of confidence as to the out
come witnessed on all sides.
Reasons for Optimism.
Another was the recent long line of.
Republican reverses eliminating with
the upheaval in Maine. which caused
even the most conservative of Demo-
Gratis to conclude that victory in this
State this year was an assured fact.
All or nearly all of the members of
the State Democratic Committee were
on hand ready to put the finishing
touches on the preliminary arrange
ments for tomorrows convention, and
to discuss probable planks of the plat
form to be adopted blythe convention.

LONDON, Sept. 4.-Testifying at the

London. said that his examination had
convinced him that the human parts
found in the cellar of the Hilldrop
Crescent home were severed by a hand
skilled in surgery and directed by a
mind that possessed a real knowledge
OF. anatomy.
Professor Pepper was the first wit
ness called by the prosecution. At some
length he described the examination
which he had made of the parts and
set forth his conclusions. Witness said
that he had identified pieces of flesh as
belonging to various parts of the body
except the head, hands, forearms feet
and legs below the knees. He could say
that the members found were undoubt-
edly from a human body. No bones
were discovered. nor was there any
trace of the genital organs.
whole yiscera Intact.
The whole viscera was present in
the upper part of the windpipe. Other
parts were left undisturbed by the one
who did the cutting, and the way in
which the parts had been separated
convinced the expert that whoever was
guilty of the mutilation did his work
with an exactness born of familiarity
with the human body.
Professor Pepper said that the hair

Finds No Trace of Sex.
Witness said that he found no trace
of the sex. The parts had been buried
for not less than four months and for
not more than eight months
At this point Solicitor Newton took
the witness in hand and asked him to
be more specific in his statement as to
having found mo trace of SEX The
professor agreed with counsel that 1t
was Impossible for him In any manner
to determine the sex from the parts OF
the body found and examined by him.
Solicitor Newton suggested that
man specializing in the ear, nose ana
eye like DIR. Crippen, would not neces-
sarily be able to adroitly separate the
members of body, but Professor Pep

counsel described would have a gen

sions from the pathologist, and fire.

ness refused to answer yes or no
without qualifying his replies. Counsel
intimated that Drs. Wall and Turnbull,
experts engaged by the defense, had
reached conclusions differing from
those of Professor Pepper in some par
ticulars, and, turning to the witness,
said. "Your qualifications have nothing
approaching theirs Both are eminent
among their number, as you know"
A brief reexamination by the crown
closed the evidence offered by the wit
ness and which was gruesome through

GUARDIANS OF THIRD
BASE MUST THINK FAST
The Position Is. One of the
Most Difficult in the
Field.

Third base is undoubtedly the most diff
fioult Of all positions on base ball field.
and the great third basemen can almost
be counted on the fingers of one hand.
A good third baseman must not only
be quick to think and act. but must have
steel-like nerve. Many players have
been successful at third during practice,
but could not stand the IRE during a
game. Great physical courage Is required
Of a player in this position. and the
slightest streak Of cowardice, or vel
low" as 1t is known in base ball lingo,
will ruin his chances Of drawing salary
from a major league club.
Third base IL difficult for several rea-
sons. The player who attempts it has
to handle the hardest hit balls that go
through the infield and has to make the
longest throw on the diamond with less
etme than other infielders to do 1t. He
Is closer to the batter when the ball is
hit than any other man In the tnfield,
except the pitcher. and this makes his
work doubly fast and difficult. The third
baseman is called upon to handle more
than 60 per cent Of the hunts, and that
in itself Is a nerve-racking duty. Know
ing that the runner Is swiftly speeding
toward first, the third baseman has to
d
spins around in a tantalizing manner.
and to get his man must throw almost
without looking. II there be runner
leaving first on such a play the third
baseman must decide in a fash whether
it liz safer to get the man at second or
first. Should he make a mistake or hest
tate in the slightest degree both will be
safe. A man who can face such a situa-
ton as this without q tremor is not
lacking in GOODNESS and elaboration.
Again his nerve is tried when he is
unable to decide whether the batter is
going to bunt or hit the ball out" Ere
quently the batter will make one or two
feints at bunting for the purpose OF
drawing the third baseman in. and then
suddenly drive the ball at him with all
the force at his command. To meet such
an emergency the third baseman must
be absolutely devoid of fear and have
no thought of personal injury.
There are two things which third
baseman must have by bfrth-a good pair
OF hands and quick brain. He must
be able to grasp a batted ball with either
hand, and consequently a man with long
hands and long fingers has an enormous
advantage over the player whom nature
has not so kindly endowed

TURNER BESTS THE TURK.
Joe Makes the Terrible One Cry

more friends for Turner. From the start
to the finish the bout was of the fiercest
ever witnessed in this city or vicinity.
The Turk took advantage Of every open

strangling or mugging his opponent. Both
men were called down for rough work.

foreigner.
During the course of the contest each
man had his opponent nearly out on
several occasions, but Turner was too
fast for his rival and escaped from many
dangerous positions.
That each man was pushing a hard
fight was clearly shown after the battle
had gone fifteen minutes. At this time
both of the grapplers were perspiring like
a couple of hard driven horses.
Falls on the mat were announced as
the only kind that would count. and on
several occasions they rolled from either

understood this, they would have to be
parted each time by Referee O'Connor.

COMMERCIAL DUCKP|N
LEAGUE AVERAGES
Woodward & Lothrop Quint
Continues to Roll
Strong Game.

BY it's consistent bowling the Wood
ward Lothrop quint OF the Commercial
Duckpin Lergue has earned well de-
served gain in percentage over its riva!
teams. and as the boys are now turning
into the homestretch it seems to be all
over but the shouting. The schedule
calls for about three weeks more of
bowling. and it will require some phe-
nomenal pin-toppling to overcome the
lead Of the furniture dealers. This team
has met and defeated everything in the
league in its past contests. Since the be-
ginning of the third series this team has
won fifteen of it's eighteen games, and
this must be looked upon as classy
bowling stunt. There are several teams
in the league which have not shown mucn
during the present campaign. but the
Woodward & Lothrop team displayed its
strength last week when 1t defeated the
Palais Royal quint three sets. This team
has lost but fifteen of its seventy-two
ba ties, which gives 1t the good percenta ge
of .791. The William Hahn team did not
roll last week and is still in second place
with percentage of .6S1. Although the
Palais Royal five lost three to the lead
ers last week. it still holds third place
with a percentage of $50, eighteen points
above the team of the Peoples Mutual
Life Insurance Company.
The Hecht aggregation defeated the
Washington Tobacco quint two sets last
week, and the scores of the eth street
five were largely due to the rolling of
Lewis. This youngster is to be classed
with the best duckpin bowlers of the city.
= he totals of his games last week were
ia, 100 and 100 These scores are very
seldom made by one man in an evening,
and 1t gave him a gain in his average
which was sufficient to entitle him to first
place among the individuals. He now
leads with an average of 1O211. Marshall
of the Peoples Mutual Life Insurance
team is second with 1O0.23, and his high
game score of 1JO,' which he rolled March
81, still remains good, and probably Will
for the remainder of the season.
Draeder of the Palais Royal quint Is the
next best man. with an average of 1888,
and he also remains the leader for the
greatest number of strikes. He now has
twenty-four to his credit Geier of the
William Hahn team leads for the greatest
number of spares with 1OS.
Besides ranking first in the team aver
age column, with figures 4I0.S2, the Wood

greatest number of spares and strikes.

BANKERS LEAGUE.
Two Teams Drop Out, Giving Or
ganization a Setback.

The Bankers League received quite a
setback during the past week by the
withdrawal of two of the teams in the
league after the schedule for the season
had been drawn up. passed upon and
adopted. The two teams which handed
In their designations were the Merchants
and Mechanics and the Bank OF Wash
ington mines.
1t came Is a big surprise when the word
was received from the Merchants and
Mechanics Bank stating that this bank
would not enter a team in the league
this season. for it can well be remem-
bered that this team was one Of the
strongest in the organization last sum-
mer. and was a very important factor
in the race for the championship. What
will be done by the officials regarding
this matter has not yet been decided, but
something will be done at the next meet
ing Of the league. which will be held
in the near future. Whether two teams
will be selected to take their places
or new six-team league schedule will
be drawn up is at present a matter Of
question.
The rule allowing any team in the
league to select two players from an
other bank not in the league had all
the banks in the league trying to land
some OF the Merchants and Mechanics
star players Immediately after its dis
bandment. However these players ap-
pear to be equally scattered on several
OF the teams in the league. and this fact
was very fortunate. for. with majority
Of the Merchants and Mechanics players,
combined with the pick of some of the
other nine. such a team would come
very close to running away with the
championship. Riggs National signed
Darlington, the catcher, and as this
team Is badly In need of a good all-around
catcher. it will allow them to present a
formidable front with Babbington work
ing behind the plate. Rawlings. the star
pitcher of the Merchants and Mechanics
will serve them over for American Sc
curity. Hines, the inf1elder, and one of
the heaviest hitters in the league, was
gobbled up by Commercial BY the way,
Commercial is going out for the cham
pionship from the start this season, and
will present a much stronger team than
last summer. The team now has the
Salb. well known around town in amateur
play the infield and are bound to hold
up their end when it comes to hitting.
Stoddard, another good hitter, will play
the outfield.
When taking into consideration how
much stronger the teams of the league
are this season, and that most OF them
have been bolstered up by the Merchants
and Mechanics star offcasts, the league
Is bound to put up good bali throughout
the season. and the race promises to be
close and interesting.
