er had purchased one-half the stock
in the South Bend club from Annis,
with full control and management of
the affairs of the club, with the con-
ditfonal clause that Wheeler must
buy Or sell his franchise to Annis at
the close of the 1910 season, and this
after Angus Grant had purchased the
Evansville club. a howl was sent up at
Terre Haute about syndicate baseball.
F. r. Carson, president of the
league, came to the rescue with the
positive and official statement that
Grant did not own cent in either the
South Bend or Grand Rapids club, and
that Annis did not control or own one
cent of stock in the Evansville club.
1t was thought the syndicate talk had
been stopped
No one denied that Annis owned
one-half of the South Bend club. All
the league directors approved of the
transaction, and there were no secret
deals nor underhand conferences. EV-
erything was open and above board,
and it was announced to all the cir
cult that Annis owned one-half the
club, but that Wheeler would be COM
PEELED to buy or sell at the close of
the 1910 season.
It is now again reported, or alleged,
and this time from Ft. Wayne, that
Annis, Grant and Wheeler are parties
to a syndicate which plans to run the
Central league, exchange players as
desired and do various other things
not consistent with straight baseball

no quarters. Respectable dogs in the
village are compelled to stay behind
closed doors or join the tramps, to
keen from being killed by the strange
brutes. To save their poultry from de-
struction, owners have had to keep
their chicken coops closed.
The out-of-town dogs got into a
shanty one night near the Erie rail
road tracks occupied by two Italian
laborers, in the absence of the men,
and cleaned up a weeks supply of
provisions. The men say they will

HAS A WILD RACE
WITH ANGRY DOGS
FIFTY FAMISHED CANNES GIVE
CHASE TO MAN IN A
WAGON.
THINKS PURsUERs WOLVES
Throws Bones to the Crying Pack as

GaIIop MadIy Toward Home2Farm
Hands Drive Dogs Away.

Cedar Grove, N. IA wild pack of
famished stray dogs pursued Reuben
Van Wyck along the Pompton Pike
when he was driving home with a
wagonload of bones and scrap meat
he had gathered from the butcher
shops in Cedar Grove and Millbrook.
The mad, hungry CANNES scared Van
Wyck and his horses almost into fits
and made him think of all the stories
he ever read about travellers being at
tackled in their sleighs as they made
their way by night through the DESC
late forest regions of northern Ger
many and Russia.
Van Wyck says there were SO dogs
in the pack. He was driving along,
unconcerned, when he heard a great
barking in the road in his rear. Turn
ing around, he saw the dogs pursuing
him at full speed, leaping over one
another in their desperate eagerness
to oyertake the wagon piled high with
meat and bones. In minute or two
the foremost dozen of the dogs, their
mouths dripping with foam, reached
meal.
When he stopped his horses to ply
his whip on the dogs he saw in an in
slant what mistake he had made.
A dozen of the CANNES sprang on the
wagon, snarling, and began to fight
over the bones. Other dogs leaped
into the sides and front of the vehicle,
and climbed over Van Wyck, swapping
at him when he raised his whip. In
desperation the man piled the lash
about him with all his strength. at the
same time calling to the horses TO
get up and go long They were rear
ing in fright, and at first refused to
obey.
Van Wyck drove most of the dogs
off the wagon and then he whipped
his team to gaIlop. The chase was
kept up for a mile, Van Wyck yelling
and lashing at the dogs and throwing
bones to them to keep them from
leaping at the wagon. When he got
through the woods and into the
cleared valley, with open fields on
| either side of the road, he hollered
for help and attracted the attention Of
several farm hands. They ran out
and with stones and clubs drove the
pack Of dogs back of the mountain

London.-Merthyr cemetery, in the

scene of a starting outrage recently,

USE 10000 BALLS A YEAR.

Twenty thousand balls are
used annually by the major
league clubs during the training
trips and championship cam
paigns. John A. Heydler, Sec
retary-treasurer of the National
league. reports that last year
the teams in his organization
called on the manufacturers to
furnish them with 800 dozen
spheres. The Cincinnati Reds
used the most balls, and then
came the Pittsburg Pirates, the
Chicago Cubs, the New York
Giants, the Phillies, the Boston
Doves, the Brooklyn Superbas
and the St. Louis Cardinals.
Each ball costs probably so
cents. The price of the spheres
varies from year to year.

The door is of solid oak one and
one-half inches thick, and is protected
by massive outer gate of decorative
gun metal.
Between the new part of the Gene
terry and the spot where the mausole-
UNI stands there is a rayine, and the
way to the mausoleum is over bridge
which crosses the river flowing
through the rayine There would be
little chance of the sexton or anybody
else hearing anggsSsssiRg. especially in
the noise of the gale.
The workmen who made the discoy-
cry that the mausoleum had been tam
pered with were on their way, in the
early morning, by permission, through
the cemetery to the Brecon & Merthyr
railway. They found the gate ajar
and part of the metal work twisted.
They at once informed the chief sex
ton and Police Sergt. Davis, who were
soon on the scene.
What was revealed upon inspection
was so astounding that A. P. Jones of
Aberdare, private secretary to Sir Viii
liam, was Immediately sent for, and
Deputy Chief Constable Hands, Bre-
conshire9 police, also arrived in hot
haste.
It was obvious that the desecrator
forced the gate open, feeling secure
from disturbance in the furious gale
that was blowing, the shrieking of the
wind being enough to drown any noise
he made. Considerable violence had
been exerted to force the gate, and
the shutters both lay in pieces on the
ground. An unsuccessful attempt had
been made to smash In the lock of the
oak door. which was very much bat
tered about. Through an aperture
which the supposed robbers had made
in the lower panel the party entered
the vault.
Lady Lewis coffin had been re-
moved from the slab and lifted down
to the floor of the chamber. The lid
had been lifted, the plate smashed and
the head and shoulders were exposed
to view. The shroud did not seem tc
have been tempered with.
1t is thought that the desecrator
becoming unnerved, departed sudden
". At any rate, the mattock pickaz
with which he had begun his ghoulisf
work was left on the floor near the
coffin. He must have had an intimate
knowledge of the cemetery, for he tool
the mattock, which belongs to thu
grave diggers, from a shed some dis
lance toward the railway, where thu
grave diggers had left it.
Further significance is attached tt
the outrage by the fact that only
week ago an act of desecration to tn
grave of the late Col D. R. Lewis a

LII in the merry month of June,
"A the fiower-laden leghorn hat bios
u SONS forth, with the roses and
other winsome things of young
summer This, and the beautiful hair
braid hats are perennial favorites, not
more or less, but always more popu-
lar. Every season the clever milliner
who delights in these really beautiful
shapes, must bethink her of some new
touch in trimming, some new turn to
brim, or some novel feature in man
ner of decorating, in order that the
summer girl may not tire Of these
hats and run after new goods whose
virtues are untried In the realm of
millinery.
Ever since the oldest modiste can
remember, June has seen the heads
of fair wearers crowned with these
staple shapes, trimmed with roses
and ribbon. This year the new touch
is found in velvet facings and In vel
vet-covered crowns. New ideas are
shown also in silk or tulle roses and
in the way in which brims are turned
or shaped.
One factor in the success of their
hats, beside their beauty. is their
durability. One does not buy a leg
horn or hair-braid hat for one sum-
mer. but for several. Therefore, it
falls to the lot of the milliner to re-
model and retrim the same shape sew

Pumps for Street Wear.

The new pumps for street wear are
made with ankle straps, which are
an improvement over the pumps used
last year, for they were scarcely
practical for outdoor wear.
To be quite correct the stockings
worn with pumps of this description
should be plain and fine. of course.
This rule applies to the street only.
For house wear any of the dainty
styles in embroidered hose may be
donned as suits the taste of the
wearer.

Tied-ln Skirts.

AS far as the fashions have gone
they show that we will continue to
wear the skirt that is hampered in
some way at the knees. 1t was orig.
inally called the aeroplane skirt
this model-and 1t now goes by the
name of the tied-in skirt. That is an
expressive description. The effect of
being tied in is gotten through the
sash or a stitched band or an orna-
ment fold that holds whatever fullness
there is at the knees.

Words and Acts.

Words are good, but they are not the
best. The best is not to be explained
by words. The spirit in which we act
is the highest matter. Action can be
understood and again represented by
the spirit alone. No one knows what
he is doing, while he acts rightly; but

If the shape is considerably worn,
both may be used; for perfectly new

1t is the charm of flowers, the new
beautifully colored roses, which Is so
enchanting and finally makes the last
years hat "as good as new" and per
haps better. If velvet-covered
crown seems little dark or heavy, q
sash of light ribbon or perhaps OF
tulle are added.
Many kinds of flowers are used for
these hats, although the rose is the
first choice. One cannot make mis-
take in selecting the rose garland.
Wreaths made of roses, gardenas, for
get-me-nots and other flowers, with
an occasional wisp of grass intro
