While this game was interesting and ! exciting in its early part it grew some what monotonous after the fifteenth inning. owing to the fact that the dead ball used became 'punky." and the batsmen were unable to knock it out side the diamond The pitching of Ernst amused the spectators. however, and I think Ernst must have been the pioneer contortiOn pitcher.
 It was customary in those days for the pitcher to stand erect and deliver the ball with the hand below the shoul- der, but Ernst had a way of tucking the ball behind his back, looking over his right shoulder and elevating his left leg as he pitched. That seemed to the spectators a bad case of monkey busi ness and always called forth derisive remarks from the small boys. His rec ord of fifteen strike OuJS and. but four flies knocked into the outfields as outs shows that he knew his business at all events.
 The scores of a few games played by leading clubs in 1869 show that the players occasional request for sub stitute to run few laps for him was not without reason:
 Harvards, 39; Lowells, Is.
 Clippers of Philadelphia. S7; Nation als, 9.
 Lowels, 102; Andersons of Lynn, S..
 Cincinnatis, 70; Unions of St. Louis, g.
 Eckfords, 45; Atlantics. 25.
 These are fair samples of the scores made by the best clubs. Those of some of the minor clubs Oftentimes resem- bled the scores of billiard match.- Outing.

GOT THE WRONG NUMBER
Some One Called Up Harry Bone in
Place of Mr.. DoIley.

All was quiet in the Office of the
United States district ATTORNEY. The
telephone bell tinkled and the stenog-
rapher answered if.
''Who is 1t you want?'' she inquired
after pause. who? Dolley? Mop
Probably some one who rooms at
the Y. NJ. c. A." said District Attor-
ney Bone. "They call us up every day
for the Y. NJ c. A. The association
number on the other telephone is the
same as our number on this one. You

Meanwhile the stenographer was
having a hard time to persuade some
one that there was no one there by
the name of Dolley. Turning to Mr..
Bone she asked if a Mr.. Joe Dolley had
been there
who" queried Bone, rising in his
chair. Say. what have you folks been
doing?"
"This is the Office of the United
States district attorney" said the
stenographer, turning to the telephone,
land" But there was a series of
ear-splitting sounds. indicating that
the man who wanted to talk to the
bank commissioner and square deal
leader had hung up.
As his name was not learned, it will
likely be impossible to secure the ar
rest of the offender on the charge of

DID HE KILL RIVAL?
Supreme Court Asked to Pass on Ora
Turner'S Case.

The appeal papers were filed today in
the case Of the State vs. Ora Turner
from Rice county. Turner was con-
victed in the lower court of murder in
the first degree and he has appealed
the case.
This murder case reads like a ro-
nance. Roy Snider, an 1S-year-old
farmer boy, was shot and killed from
ambush last July and Ora Turner, a
young farmer living in the same COM
munity, was arrested charged with the
murder. At the trial he was convicted
on strong circumstantial evidence.
On the evening of the killing young
Snider put on his best clothes and
mounting his fathers horse rode to
the town of Raymond, mile or so dis
tant from his home. to see a Miss Otto
his sweetheart. Turner went to town
the same evening, taking his sisters
along with him in the buggy. Snider
and Turner met in town and Snider
asked the older boy to get him some
cigars. Snider was a minor and could
not buy them under the new law.
Turner bought two cigars, keeping one
and giving the other to Snider, who
paid for them both.
Later in the evening Snider went to
Miss Otto's house and took her to pray
er meeting. After the meeting he re-
turned to the houss with the girl and
stayed there until IL o'clock that night
Turner took his sisters home.
The state alleged In the trial of the
case in the lower court that Snider
left Miss Otto's home at IL o'clock and
got his horse which was tied to a post
at the rear of a store, and rode toward
his home. That Turner, after he got
home with his sisters, unhitehed the
horse from the buggy and rode the ami
NAL back toward town. That he lay IN
wait for Snider and shot<him five times
with a revolver Of peculiar pattern and
unusual caliber. Such a revolver was
afterwards found by the officers where
Turner, it is claimed, had hid the
weapon Jealousy was the only motive
ascribed for the crime

LIKE THE TOWER OF BABEL.
Confusion of Tongues at Police Station
Today.

Police Judge S. s. Urny is in a posi-
ton to sympathize with the people who
suffered the confusion of tongues when
that tower was being built. And the
theft of a pair o: S1-25 trousers caused
it all
A Mexican with a name that sounded
like a soda fountain was arrested on
the charge of stealing a pair of cordu-
roy trousers from Abe Lavino, at us
Kansas avenue The trial was held at
$3.50 O'clock The Mexican could not
talk English. Neither could Lavino all
though he probably thinks he can. The
judge and witnesses could talk neither
Hebrew nor Mexican. Every one tried
to talk, and probably did. Finally the
officer who made the arrest said the
Mexican had the pants and Judge
Urmy, acting on the theory that the
Mexican would not have hidden the
pants if they had not been stolen prop
erty. fined him S. and gave the pants
to Lavino. Then he fired the crowd
out of the court room and opened the
windows to let some Of the converse
tion out.

WANT LAW CHANGED.
Probate Judges Suggest Amendments
Concerning Their Onices.

Three measures important to the pro-
bate judges of the state to be pre-
sented to the next legislature by a COM
mittee from the State Bar association
were passed upon favorably by the
state probate Judges association in
session In the court Of Topeka room
today.
The amendments suggested are:
E1rst-The authority to close an es-
years are required and the delay seri-
oUsly interferes with the making up OF
records by stringing various estates
ever SO long a time. It Is believed by
the judges that the shorter period will
in no way work to hinder justice In
the settlement of estates.
Second-The power to summon juries
in the manner of justice Of the peace
At present probate jury is summoned
simply calling six men. The method
desired is the summoning of IL men
by the judge from which each party
to controversy selects three men to
form the jury OF six.
Third-The power to require a guar
dian to report every two years and If
ne cessary to furnish a new bond. AT
present a guardian furnishes the one
bond upon his appointment and until
his ward becomes of age conducts his
estate under the old bond, which sys-
tenn has often proven detrimental to
the estate without recourse or a suf-
ficient Eond.
Another item of interest to lawmak-
crs is the resolution of the association
after hearing paper by J. H Ellis of
Columbus, HAS the Placing of Juven-
lie Jurisdiction in the Probate Court
Been Satisfactory" which was that
it has been satisfactory.
