1t would just be the luck of the Wash
ington club to lose Clarence Walker and
then have him develop into a great ball
player. Reports concerning this young
ster all agree that he has the making of
wonderful player. and it looked, indeed.
as If Scout kahoe had made a ten strike
when he purchased his release. On the
face Of the sale it would seem that the
claim that Buffalo has an option on the
youngSter will not hold water. for surely
one would have to give the Spartanburg
club credit for knowing that it cannot
sell a player which it has already agreed
to turn over to some other club. But
some of these minor league ma agnates not
only are devoid Of any knowledge of base
ball law, but their business instinct is Of
low caliber. and mix-ups Of this kind
in which Walker appears to be involved
have happened many times before What
ever Walker may be, he certainly out
classes everything in the company he is
now playing in The scores show him to
hit every day. even when his teammates
are falling down. and in addition to his
hitting he appears to be fielding and run
ming bases. Being a mere boy, the dis
play of ability is remarkable, and really
gives great promise of his becoming
major league star. But in the matter of
picking up good ball players there has al
ways been some sort of a jinx on the
local club. and this Walker case may be
another illustration.
There are just about seven club own
ers In the American League who in the
future will take anything that Owner
John l. Taylor of the Boston club says
with a grain of salt When John 1.
got ready to peddle Pitcher Frank
all in. and that if he could sell him to
"a National League club he would be
putting something over on the Amer
lean Leagues rivals. In this way
Taylor secured most of the waivers on
Smith. But since then Smith has been
pitching good ball for Cincinnati, and
a few Of the American League mag
mates are kicking themselves for allow
ing him to slip through their fingers.
Taylor has established the reputation
that once he sours on one of his players
he gets rid of him, regardless of his
ability. He did this with Lord, who,
had he remained in Boston, would have
made the Red Sox contenders in the
present race.
For a man who gained the reputation
Clarke Griffith is delivering less than
any of his rivals. and what is more.
great deal of attention is called to this
fact this season. Rival managers are
being quoted as being of the opinion
that if they were in charge of the Gin
cinnati team it would win the pennant,
which would indicate that the hammer
lis being welded beautifully at the ex-
Ipense of Griffith
1t probably goes without saying that
unless the Reds take decided brace ere
long that there will be a new man in
charge of the team next season.
With Abe Attell on the retired list as
the result of an injury sustained in one
of his fights. the featherweight title needs
a claimant. though there is no one in that
class as capable as Attell has been. He
has been fighting for nearly thirteen
years. and in that time has suffered but
one severe beating, inflicted by Benny
Yanker, ''the Upton Slasher," several
years ago. But in none of his other bat

Ball Player Under Sentence of Death
Works for Convicts.

CARSON CITY, New, June 5.-Patrick
Casey, an old-time ball player. who is
under sentence Of death for murder COM
mitted In Goldfield, yesterday acted as
umpire in what will probably be his last
game at the state penitentiary. For
some time two convict ball teams have
been practicing within bearing of Casey's
cell After following the progress of the
games by the crack Of the bat and the
thud of the ball in the catcher's glove
Casey appealed to the warden for the
privilege of seeing and umpiring one more
game. He was allowed to do So
Although many changes have been
made in the rules since Casey played
ball. no kicks were registered against his
decisions.

Over to Detroit.

pointment to Scout Mike kahoe, who has
been laboring under the impression that
he had this youngster bottled up. kahoe
has reported on Moran several times. and
is under the impression that Moran Will
not become a professional without giving
him first chance at his services. But 1t
develops that he has long since signed
with Detroit.
John Henry will be out of the game for
several days. The injury resulting from
the spiking in Saturdays game is more
serious than was expected, and Henry is
forced to use Crutches. Schaefer will
most likely play first from this out.
Groom and Lafitte will probably oppose
each other in the final game of the De-
trot series today. which is called for
O. clock.
Jack Coombs of the Athletics is on a
fair way to break all records for pitching
a large number of games this season.
Coombs is one of the iron men variety,
appears to pitch. But for Coombs and
Plank the champions would not be so
high up in the race, for 1T is this pair
which has done the most effective pitch
ing for the Athletics this spring.
On Saturday, May q, Coombs faced the
Highlanders and was driven to cover
He came back Monday and beat them
On Tuesday he pitched again and won
Russell had started. Not satisfied with
this he beat Cleveland in a twelve-inning
game on Saturday. Coombs seems to
have no regard for his arm, but is willing
to work every day. He does not appear
to need the usual three days rest to do
good work: in fact, he says that he is at
his best when he is worked hardest.
If Detroit can break oven in the series
which the Tigers open at Philadelphia to-
morrow there is no danger OF the team
losing it's grip on first place during the
present trip. Jennings feels confident
that the worst his team can do against
the champions is to break even. He Is
nursing Summers, Donovan and Mullen
for those games. If Summers goes wei well
Oh the first day he will be pitched right
back the last day of the series. Connie
Mack is none too well, supplied with
pitchers just now. Plank and Coombs
being the only ones to do consistent
work Bender and Morgan are not in
form yet, while Russell and Krause can
not be relied upon. though Krause has
been successful against Detroit more
than once.

Johnny Greer who left some time ago
to go to the Tidewater League in Nir-
ginia. is back in town on his way to
Erie in the Ohio and Pennsylvania League.
The big Catholic University southpaw
made good all right in the new circuit,
but he was getting too much salary for
the league limit, and when he was in
formed that he would have to stand a
cut he refused point blank. and was in
formed that he would be sent to the

Griffin, who had charge of the Norfolk

ginning of the season, of which club

the end. Jim Delehanty grips his bat six
inches from the end Larry and Cobb take

hold their bats like Larry and Cobb. So
do most other batters who hit long drives.

punished. He has stood the wear and
tear Of the milling well, and he has been
more active than any other fighter in the
game. Attell thinks that years rest
viii bring him back to form. but II is but
seldom that a fighter comes back after
SO long lay off.
The squirt of the ST Louis Cardinals is
! one of the surprises of the present base
ball season. Roger Bresnahan when he
started the season had team which 10
one figured could do more than have
fight for last place, but instead he Is
within hailing distance of the first dlVl-
sion. which. if the consistent work of his
team continues he is almost certain to
reach before long. This st. Louis team
seems to have come over night. Not only
are Bresnahan's young pitchers doing
good work. but the team is hitting and
playing intelligent ball.
1t is a matter of fact that the college
players who make good in fast company
are as rule not drawn from the big
| institutions. but from those more remote.
But seldom do payers come to the big
leagues from colleges like Yale, Prince
ton. Pennsylvania or Cornell and make
good while smaller colleges have fur
nished such players as Mathewson,
Coombs, Hub Collins, Eddie Collins and
numerous others. The players on the lit
tie teams make their regulations playing
against the big colleges by which they
are supposed to be outclassed. while the
members of the big teams make their
regulations against weaker clubs. The
fact that the college player has a place
in professional base bali has long since
been established, and there is not major
league club today which does not careful
ly scrutiniZe every college player in the
hope of finding material which will
strengthen its team.
For the first time in its history the
Eastern League appears to have man
at its head who is determined to stop
senseless kicking and umpire batting on
the ball field. Edward Barrow has start
ed out Is if he intends to make record
in this respect, regardless of the outcome
He comes up for election again next win
ter, and while there will undoubtedly be
opposition to his continuation in office by
some Of the club owners, the public will
be for the man who is trying to stamp
out rowdyism.
Base ball has prospered ever since
brawls We're eliminated from the ball
field. and the Eastern League would be
a more powerful organization if it had
had man of the Barrow type at its head
years ago.
Not until the result of the Norris
Flynn fight, which takes place July 4, is
| known can there be correct line on the
prowess of the Oklahoma white hope.
1t Morris beats Flynn he will be in the
front rank of the white heavyweights,
for Flynn's victory over Al Kaufman has
made him the foremost Of the hopes. and
victory over him would throw the honor
to Morris.
This fight will really be the first one
Morris has ever had with a man of some
class. Flynn, of course. is not cham
pion, but he is a tough proposition. and
stands chance against any one he meets
because he can both take and deliver
punishment.

Another step toward the completion of the Jungfrau railway, the highest railway in the world, was accom- plished on June 14. This was the opening of a window" in the Jung fraujoeh. as the great connecting wall between the Monch and the Jungfrau Is called, at height of 10.- 955 feet above sea level. 4.1S5 feet higher than the starting point of the line at the Little Scheidegg, and s.075 feet higher than the Interlaken, From this unique window a wonderful view will be obtained. embracing be- sides the glaciers immediately be- heath 1t the peaks of the Schneehorn and silberhorn. the Lauterbrunnen valley. the Wengernalp. part of Mur- ren. and a glampse of the Lake of Thur.

ARMY SURGEONS
 MADE 4 RECORD
Only 4 Cases Out of 187 Were Unsuccessful at
 Cananea

SAN ANTONIO, Texas. Sept. "A new record in surgery was established by the surgeons at Fort Sam Houston during the six months the army was mobiIized here. Of 1S7 operations per formed. 1s3 were successful, there having been three deaths as the result of transportation to the army hospital from other points. The causes con tributing to the great success of the surgical work are said by Chief Sur geon Major Hutton to have been the excellent condition of the men, the ef ficient sanitation maintained at the camp, and the salubrity of the climate.
 The health report of the city fol the month of August substantiates the fact that the climate here is a power ful factor in keeping the death rate to the lowest possible fraction-the rate being only TT per 1000. This record is in shrinking contrast with the death rate for August in the large sities of the north and east.
 The sick rate in the camp ranged from 19 to g per 1000, as against i2 per 1000 in barracks elsewhere. The higher rate, 23, was the result of the bringing 300 recruits from northern points, all of whom were seized with humps.

This charming little dress offers us something which Is really a novelty. It is worn with guimpe to which the ong sleeves are attached, but these nay be omitted in warm weather. To obtain the peasant shoulder effect there is a seam down the outside of he arm only, not around the arnhole. and each half of the sleeve is cut in one with the front and back side bod es of the dress. The central portion s full length in front and half length n the back. where 1t extends some distance below the hips, producing the impression of the French style.
