ADAM SCHANTz
MADE CAPTAIN
Basketball Team of High
School Elect fer 1912.

Since John McCreery has left
school, the basketball players of the
varsity met and elected a new cap
tain for next year. Adam Schantz,
better known as Colombo" was the
unanimous choice of the men who at
tended the meeting.
1t is the first time IN the history of
the local HiDh School that a fresh
man has been called upon to bear the
burden of captainship, but the man
nsr in which Addie had performed
has made him the pick of the school.
Although he had not played many
games with the crimson and white
quintet, still his excellent work as
guard for the Riversides, showed
that he was a friend at the basket
ball game.
Those who voted were: Frank
Mccormick, Hans Roessler, Scott
Burns, Harry Schantz and Rufus
Allen.

ABLEs' BIG HOOKS ENABLE
HIM TO HIDE BALL.

Harry Ables, the giant south
!, paw pitcher Of the New York
Americans, enjoys one most
unique distinction. He has the
|, most impressive set Of hands
; ever seen in professional base
, ball.
, The hams that Honus Wagner
, calls hands dwindle into insig-
, nifcance alongside the hooks
of the big new portsider from
|, Texas. Not only are Ables'
; hands exceptionally large as
, large as patent washboards al
} most-but his fingers are excep-
|, tionally long. The digits T so
, long that Ables can hide a regu-
) latlon baseball In the palm of his
, hand. A regulation baseball, by
the way, Is nine inches IN cir
conference.
Ables has as much natural
stuff" as any pitcher who has
ever been in fast company. Had
he the experience of some Of the
old heads he would right now be
one of the greatest phenoms of
all time. He a simply do any
thing with the old horsehide.
Ables believes that his big
hands and long fingers give him
natural advantages possessed by
no other major league pitcher.
His fingers are so long that the
ball drops In and among them
much as a marble would IN the
hand Of a boy. Consequently
Ables does not have to cover up
his pitching hand with his glove,
as most twirlers do.

SO successful IN the American

says his bean BALI was respon-
sibIe for most of his success, and
he is working it this season. The
first ball Tom shoots up in q
careless manner right in close to
the batter as though he really
wished to hit him. Then he
starts working the outside cor
ner after driving the batter back
from the plate. Tom always
was q star when he cared to
work and may show something

NEW TRtAE QHnEhED
 FOR pk. 8. CLARK HYDE
Was Convicted of Murder of Col.
 Thomas H. SMope.

Kansas City, Mo. April 11.-Action in the B. Clark Hyde murder. case, which the supreme court of Missouri today reversed and remanded to this county for new trial, tonight awaits the arrival of the ofncial mandate from Jefferson City.
 Attorneys for both the state and the defense will make no definite plans for the future until they have read this document.
 That pr. Hyde will be re-trisd is certain, according to Prosecutor Vir- gil Conkling. IL is probable, too, that he will again be tried on the charge of murdering Col. Thomas Fl. Swope, although it was on this case that the higher court granted the reversal The physician Is also under indictment for the murder of other members of the Swope family.
 Attorney Frank P. Walsh, chief counsel for Dr. Hyde. said tonight that if tho case is re-tried it will be before Judge D. B. Poterf1eld, who pre- sides over the second division of the criminal court. Dr. Hyde's attorneys have the privilege of taking a change of venue to Judge Porterfield if they desire. Judge Latschaw says he will not be able to pass on tffe question of bail until the mandate arrives.
 Both sides are anxious for an early re-trial. The beginning of the trial, however, depends largely upon the condition of Mrs. Logan O. Swope, who is now said to be seriously i'll at Los Angeles.

Loew9 C Co. matters. of this city. plaintiffs in the suit against the United Ifatters of North America. commenting on the decision of the United States circuit court of appeals, har1ced down yester- day. which reversed the decision of the United States district court in award ing damages to the plaintiff, today said:
 'As am not a lawyer, I do not feel that l want to discuss the legal issues involved in the opinion given by the circuit court of appeals, but If the judge of the lower court or the attorneys continue to hold the same views upon the important points fn- volved in the appeal that they held at the time of the trial, it appears to me that it would be wise to have the su- preme court pass upon the question, rather than to have re-trial of the case. As I view the matter at present, 1t seems to me that our case should be taken to the supreme court of the United States for final decision upon the points that have been raised in the appeal just decided.''
 The points to which Mr. Loewe in- dicated he had special reference were those relating to certain directions by Judge Platt to the jury and also to the admission of certain evidence rel- ative to the responsibility of the de- fendants.
