WYATT LEE HANDS
HIS FORMER BOSS
SECOND BEATING
Leafs Just Manage to Get One
Run Across to Save Them
selves a Whitewash-Tiger
Pitcher and Batters Show No
Mercy.
BY FRANK J. M'TAGUE.

TOE KELLEY. one of the greatest
baseball generals, was sick at heart
. n some in body yesterday when
Wyatt Lee, the big s%outhpaw whom he
cut loose early in the season, gave him
and his clan a sound trouncing. The
Leafs leader used fifteen players in
an attempt to revenge the shut-out Lee
administered to them in Toronto before
$4,000 natives, after he had been set
free by Manager Joseph.
Dick Rudolph. one of the visitors
star fingers, was as sweet as ice-cream
n to the Bengals. and they slashed
his offerings to all corners of the lot
during the five innings he was on the
mound. They touched him up in the
opening inning SAN again in the fifth,
scoring thrice in the first and twice In
the fifth.
Gettman scored two Tigers with his
single and Captain Schlafly chased two
others across the pan when he doubled.
Johnny Kelly and Jimmy Mullen made
pretty triples.
AS a starter Eddie Mcdonald pegged
Aimmy's grounder in the weeds back
OF first, and the Tiger went to second.
Ganley hunted safely and Jimmy took
third. Kelly was out on an inield
grounder n Ganley advanced to sec
ond. Jake Gettman was on deck with
a timely cleanup single, which scored
the pair of Tigers. Captain Schlaf1v
then put the timber on one, and conn
bined with his terrific swing he sent
the shiny rock against the score-board
Gettman scored, but as the ball re-
bounded to Delehanty Larry was held
on CnOnnH T -ofI.a.I 80 -.
q st."
The Tigers displayed some rapid-hre
action In the NTH. Ganley cracked out
a pretty single and when Johnny Kelly
tripled to right Sir Robert scored. ,Gett-
man was the next Tiger to face Ru-
dolph and he pushed one of the Leaf
twirler's slow ones to Bill O'Hara, and
Kelly scored. 7F
Just to please the fans, the eneal
added Just n more in the eighth. Meyer
singled and stole second. He had third
all but stolen, but Fitzpatrick muffed
the throw and Benny raced all the way
home.
Just for the sake of society, and not
eager to be the first Tiger to cop a
fancy vest, Lee loosened up a bit In the
seventh. and then after doing so dem
onstrated to Joe Kelley how he could
pitch with men on the sacks. Mullen
led off with a triple, but Vaughn and
McAllister's best were 'pop-ups" to
Schlafy and Meyer. Jack Slattery was
sent In as a pinch hitter and he singled
to right, and Mullen counted, thus saw
Ing his team from a shut-out.
1t was a great victory for Lee and
he deserved to win. His control was
almost perfect and he made a clever
stop In the bargain.
It's the Leafs again today. The
ladies will be the guest of the Tigers.
They are no longer the jinks and are
welcome. The mere the merrier.
Tomorrow the Tigers will play tho
first of nine games with the Shelters
at Westside Park. The following day
Ryan's Shelters will be here.

gymnasium last night. Burns excelled
at every style of milling, showing up
especially well al long range work.
Burns landed almost at will during the
first six rounds, Hommey being unable
to get over an effective blow In this
time. The concluding rounds were fast.

fashion,
In the ninth round Burns registered
the only Touchdown Of the mill. when
he noored Hommey with a right to the

a corker. The little lads stood in he

nROMoTER TEX RICHARD is
not greatly concerned over the
momentous role he is to play on
the afternoon of the Fourth, and he
asserts with convincing earnestness
that he has no misgivings whatever re-
garding his ability to referee the big
fight.
why, I haven't given the subject a
single thought he told a group of
newspaper men last night. 1.-THE job
will be a snap. With seasoned fighters
like Jeffries and Johnson to deal with
1t will be the easiest thing in the world
to take care of the referees end. |
have been assured by both men that
they are entirely satisfied to have me
in the ring and they will do everything
they can to smooth my way"
Richard the Referee.
Someone asked him If he ever had
presided over a big ring event before.
Nothing very big" the promoter an
swered; but don't think for a minute
that I'm not wise to every angle of
prize-fghting. I'VE followed it prac-
tically all my life, and if there Is any
body that knows any more about the
ms and outs of the game I'd like to
have him named. People come to me
and say I'm foolish to take or this job
because I've not had much practise.
Well, they don't know what they are
talking about. If a man knows fight
ing as well as | know 1t there's no
reason why he can't jump in and take
charge of a big fight. even If he hasn't
had much actual training. AS far as l
personally am concerned, I don't be-
lieve in working up as a referee
through little fights to big ones. I'd
rather begin at the top"
"And then work dawn?" was the
TESTING amendment of a bystander, but
Tex, though he laughed with the
crowd, did not seem to catch h point
of the joke, and he nodded assent.
There are many who declare that the
appointment of Richard was a mistake,
owing to his admitted inexperience as
an arbitrator of contests. Even his
critics, however, appear to be satisfied
that when he enters the ring the pro-
moter will do the right thing as he sees
it and will endeavor to give each con-
testant a squar deal.

probably nothing essential will remain
to be done. Remarkable progress made
on the construction of the arena has
silenced the doleful predictions of pes
simistic fans who were fearful that the
huge structure would not be finished In
time, and it has banished all doubts
of there not being an ample number of
seats for the crowds expected to pour
into Reno between now and the day of
the fight.
Great care is being exercised by the
contractors against the danger OF fire

This fear of a. conflagration has
weighed heavily on Richard, n last
night he made a trip to the site to
assure himself that the necessary pre-
cautions were being taken.
Upon entering the Enclosure he was
disconnected by the fact that no sigh

MURDER MYSTERY
PARTLY CLEARED
SKELETONS OF TWO MEN FOUND
IN LONELY GAVE ON ISLE
RoYALE.

Duluth, Mimi, Sept. 10.-Mute evil
dence Of an old murder was discovered
yesterday by two young women, who
are spending the summer at Siskiwit
bay, on the island. They were walk
ing along the shores of the bay when
they discovered a little cave about 200
yards from the shore line. On enter
ing the cave they found the skeletons
of two men.
The young women are nurses and
their training enabled them to examine
the gruesome find and they state pos
itively that the men could not have
crawled to the position in which they
were lying. They must have been
pushed in there after being killed The
skull of one of the men had been frac-
tured by a blow from some dull in
strument.
Old timers on the lake remember the
mysterious disappearance of two fisher
men about eight years ago In the vi
cinity of Siskiwit bay, and it is now
believed they we're murdered and their
bodies hidden In the cave.
News of the find was brought to Du-
luth today by C. W. Turner, man
ager of the Booth line of steamers.

Before Judge Pollock in the district
court this morning Taylor Crum, coun-
sci for the defense, made motion for
new trial for Henry Fujita the jap
restaurant proprietor who was recently
sentenced to Bismarck for a term of
five years for attempted rape on the

time Mr.. Crum made his previous mo-
ton for a new trial for the little orr
entail, which was practically overruled
by Judge Pollock, he was granted a
stay OF forty days in which to prepare
an argument for another motion for
another trial, which was made today.
Mr.. Crum's argument was lengthy and
was continued until this afternoon at
$3.50 o'clock.
While the forty days granted Mr..
Crum for the preparation of his brief
in the matter have not elapsed he was
prepared at this time to make the mo-
tion and took advantage of the prece-
dent which entities him to avail himself
Of the courts permission at any period
within the specified time. Many siilli~
lar cases were entered into at the hear
ing this morning and the testimony
given at the trial or fuJlta was given
in addition.

was charged with keeping Laura
Bleisch for immoral purposes, he was

7 DANcER-WAs TRYING TO GET
1T TO SHORE.

Ludington. Mich, Sept. 1O.-That
yesterdays wreck Of the Pere Mar
quette, car ferry number Is, and the
loss of twenty mine lives was not due
to a storm, to orerIoading, or to a
breakdown in the vessels machinery
and that the real cause of the dis
aster will never be fully determined,
Is the conclusion reached by Gen.
supt. w. D. Trump of the Pere Mar
quette railway, who came here yester-
day to investigate the wreck.
According TO the report sent by
Trump to the Pere Marquette head
quarters in Detroit today, Captain
Russell Of steamer number II was
merely asked by Captain Kitty Of
number is to stand BY when he ar
rived at the scene.
Captain kitty evidently did not be.
lieve that his vessel was in immediate
danger Captain Russell, however, OBJ
served that number liz was sinking
and lowered his lifeboats just before
number is went to the bottom.
According to Trump there were six
ty-tWo persons on board steamer num-
Der IS.
The first intimation those on board
number is had that anything was
wrong was when the wheelsman found
the vessel was not responding QUICK
". The compartment aft of the en-
CINE room was then found to contain
a considerable amount of water,
though not enough to disturb the Are
men and deck hands sleeping there.
Distress signals were given as the
vessel continued to sink, and the life
boats on the port side were lowered
but not cut away from the ship, Cap
tain Kitty continuing to head the
steamer for the west shore of Lake
Michigan. An of the survivors Jump
ed or were thrown from the boat when
she sank, and were picked up by
boats from steamer number IL.
