DOLPHIN'S CREW
HELD BLAMELESS
In No Way Responsible for
Fatal Collision.

The last chapter in the tragic colli-
sion on the Potomac between the dis
patch boat Dolphin and the launch Cul-
prit Fay, on the night of May %. was
written yesterday. The court of in
quiry which investigated the disaster
clears the officers of the Dolphin of all
blame.
Various reports to the effect that Of
ficial negligence on the Dolphin, upon
which were Miss Helen Taft, the Misses
Meyer. and Assistant Secretary of the
Navy winthrop, as guests, was respon-
sible for the collision are entirely dis
credited in the brief statement of the
findings of the court of inquiry. which
was issued by Secretary of the Navy
Meyer yesterday. 1t follows:
"The court of inquiry, appointed by
the Navy Department to investigate
the collision between the motor
boat Culprit Fay and the L. S. S. Dol
phin, of Alexandria, Va, on May rs.
found that the collision was directly
due to the action Of the Culprit Fay in
putting her helm to starboard. and
thereby standing across the bows of
the Dolphin, and that had the Culprit
Fay put her helm to port. or had she
held her course, the collision would not
have occurred.
THE court found that the damage
to property and the loss of life
caused by the collision between the U.
s. S. Dolphin and the motorboat Gull
prit Fay was not due in any manner.
either mediately or Immediately. to
fault. negligence. or inefhciency on the
part of any person or persons in the

mends no further proceedings in the
matter"

CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY
BY A. w. MACY.
THE FIRST POLITICAL DARK
HORSE.

HORSE.
The first dark horse" appeared
in an American political conyen-
ton in 1s44. His name was
James K. Polk In, the Demo-
cratic national convention Of that
year Van Buren, who had been
President but was defeated by
Harrison in 1870. was the leading
candidate. with majority OF
twenty-six in the convention.
But the two-thirds rule held
good. and that blasted Van Bu-
ren's chances. Seven ballots were
taken. with no result except an
increase OF bad feeling among
the delegates. James K. Polk
had been modestly mentioned for
Vice President. but nobody had
thought of him as candidate
for the chief place. On the eighth
ballot a delegate from Pennsyl-
vania broke away from Buchanan
and voted for Polk The Mary
land delegation joined him, and
hood OF orafory broke loose. on
that ballot Polk received forty
four votes. On the ninth the
break became a stampede. and
every vote was recorded for POLK.

BIG ED WALSH
MISSES FIELDER
JONES EVEN NOW
CHICAGO, June "A.

CHICAGO, June IA.
THAT Ed Walsh isn't nearly so
effective as he was in 1908 is
unanimously agreed over the
American League, but every team that
has batted against the White Sox star
this season says he shows flashes of
his old-time form. The secret of
Walsh's 1908 success was due largely
to Fielder Jones's long baseball head.
Walsh had to pitch as Jones ordered
when he was at the height of his
power, while now he is using his W
judgment. Jones had Walsh pitch TO
one spot, and made the batters hit, and
il they connected with the ball squarely
there was an outfielder waiting for 1t.
Walsh's spitball was hard to hit wher-
ever he pitched it, and Jones increased
its effectiveness by having big Ed pitch
every strike over the outside corner of
the plate to the right-hand hitters and
over the inside corner for left-hand
hitters. He made a crazy shift of his
outield, as it was said in 1908. Eddie
Hahn moved from right field to the
right foul line. Jones played right field
and Dougherty centre field, leaving left
field unguarded. Walsh pitched so
every ball was hit to right. The plan
was a good one,
No manager since Jones has had
enough faith in this plan to risk it. 1t
look$ like too much of a risk to them.

KIRKBY EXPECTED

X FEW JERSEY golfers will have q

play their skill as the Montclair
Golf Club will hold a three days
tournament tomorrow, Friday and Sat-
urday, and they always carry a fine
field of metropolitan golfers, and the
leading clubs in this State will be we'll
represented.
Oswald Kirkby, the Englewood Coun-
try Club champion. who carried off the
highest honors in the Tuxedo invitation
tournament last week, will doubtless be
a competitor and will have another
chance to gain fresh laurels.
He is playing grand golf this year
and he makes his presence known in
all the tournaments in which he takes
part. He is getting better all the time
and his greatest achievement was on
Saturday last, when he not only won
the Tuxedo ournamen by defeating
John M. Ward in the semi-fhnals, and
Louis Livingston, Westbrook, In the
final for the chief trophy, but also won
the handicap and the driving competi-

DUFFY WOULD
TAKE WAGNER FROM
]. |. TAYLOR'S TEAM

There is a rumor that a big deal is
on between the Boston club and the
Chicago club that will be put through
soon. The SoX players know nothing
definite about it. but the general belief
is that Manager Hugh Duffy, of Chi
cago, wants Shortstop Charley Wagner
and Pitcher Cicotte and that Zeider
will be one of the Chicago players to
go in exchange along with a pitcher,
possibly Young or Scott or even LANCE.
Nothing was heard from Duffy on the
deal, but there seems to be a strong
belief among the players that one Is
on and that Wagner is the man sought.
Knowing that Wagner had some
trouble with John 7. Taylor, owner of
the Red Sox, the report seems reason
able. There is also talk that Catcher
Carrigan, of Boston. may be included
in exchange for Payne, Of Chicago.
With Rey Corahn still in bad condi-
ton and his case doubtful, 1t is reason
able to think Duffy would want a man
of Wagner's calibre, a man considered
one of the best shortstops in the
league.

MATTY'S VICTORY OVER
CINCINNATI was HIS
NINETEENTH In ROW

When the Giants beat the Reds yes
terday they helped Christy Mathewson
to his nineteenth consecutive victory
over the Cincinnati team. The last time
the Reds defeated Big Six was in the
spring of 1908. Since then Matty has
taken revenge nineteen times.
John l. Taylor, of the Boston Ameri-
can IL on the verge of making a
house cleaning. He has asked waiver 8
on Wagner, Ray Collins, Cicotte and
Clyde Engel. 1t Is needless to say that
these players will not go to the minors.
as both Chicago and Washington have
refused to waive On them.
The report is going around that
Harry Davis, captain of the Athletics,
may manage the Yankees. Frank Far
rell says no. If he goes any place it
will be Cleveland.
A total Of eighty-seven hits were
made in the National League yester-
day. 1t was certainly a day of swat
ting.
In the last twenty-seven innings the
Maps have played against the High
landers the Cleveland team has made
but three runs.
Only four games separate the Detroits
and Athletics from the top of the
American League. The Jennings men
were idle yesterday, while Mack's men
recorded a shut-out victory over the
ST. Louis team.
Frank Baker, of the Athletics, clout-

Wilbur Goode, the former Oriole, who

games.
1t was a sad defeat for the Maple
Leafs yesterday. After the Canadians
had the game practically sewed up for

their half of the eighth and scored five
runs 1t was a real rally.
Outfe1der Delehanty, of the Maple
