Queer Case OF Suicide.

An extraordinary case of suicide
was described at an inquest held on
the body of Alfred Hampson at Vir-
ginia Water, in Surrey. 1t was stated
that Hanpson suffered from weak
mindedness. He was left alone In
his private room in a sanatorium for
about twenty minutes, and when his
attendant returned Hampson was
found pressing a red-hot poker into
his body. He informed Doctor Moore
that he had been told he had devil
inside him, and the only way it could
be killed was by means of red-hot
poker. He died next day

New York. Dragging about that pitching
stan or ours is a ucklish proposition. 1t
Is one or those things that seem to take
particular delight in blowing the works
up at the very moment one expects most
of it. But the old dope shows McGraw
in possession of two left-handers who are
pitching at least as good a brand Of ball
as any in the league.
Marquard is today as great a pitcher
as any in the country, and Wiltses last
three full games have all been rafting
good ones. One has made good in every
thing McGraw ever hoped for him. Tie
other appears to be in the throes OF the
winning streak that always overtakes him
about this time Of the year.
ITO match the southpaws are Matty and
Ames. Matty may not be as wonderful
a pitcher as he used to be: he hasn't won
as large percentage of his games as was
expected, but 1t will be noticed that he has
annexed seventeen out of twenty-four
and really ranks fourth in the list Alex
ander is the only pitcher in the league
who has won more games.
Every one of this quartet is i'm better
physical condition than at any time since
the beginning Of the season. Where others
fall by the wayside these four really
figure to gain, If anything, as they go
along.
To-day McGraw has the strongest and
best pitching staff in the league, one
which has only to hold its present form
to lead the club to a pennant If given the

to be at his best when the pinch was
tightest.
An automobile is to he given to the
player in each major league who. I'm
the opinion of committee, has been
of the greatest service to his team. Just
how Ty Cobb is going to be figured out
Of this contest il is hard to see In the
first place. he is leading the league in
everything. and what is more. he has
individually been responsible for more
victories his team has scored than any
other player can lay claim to. Where
could player be found who while Ill.
as Cobb has been for weeks, refuses to
lay off and forces himself to play good
enough to win the applause of hostile
crowds. Wonderful. indeed, is the
spirit which Cobb displays in his work.
Say of him what you will, there never
was player who so consistently keeps
the interest of his team at heart.
Cobb. in addition to his ability. is a
vonderful drawing card. There is not
the slightest doubt that he draws more
money into the gate that it requires
to pay him his salary twice over.
This is going to be an important
week in the American League race.
On the outcome OF two series which
open today much will depend. Detroit
is down for four games in New York.
a team which has played rings aound
letfcs. with their scant lead. are pitted
against the White Sox On their.show-
ing here the So should not prove
troublesome, and yet they have caused
the champions to take many a tumble
and are really feared there.
On dope, however, Detroit figures to
go down in New York. but right here
is where the unexpected is apt to hap
pen. Macks pitchers are far from be-
ing at their best Bender Is the only
one who is showing good form, and H.
Is not rugged enough to work out OF
turn. He needs four days rest to be
at his best. so that the White Sox may
upset calculations during their stay in
Philadelphia.
The National League race becomes
more interesting as the season pro-
crosses. The unlooked-for upsets which
the Brooklyn team inflicted on the
Cubs has again changed the complex
ion Of the race, and now Pittsburg be
gins to loom up as having an excellent
chance to take the lead.
The charges made by the Detroit
players that lively balls were put into
play in Philadelphia when the Athlet-
les were behind and dead ones when
they were leading, have been dis
proven. One of the balls which the Tigers
charged were not of the regulation
brand was sent by Umpire Connolly
to President Johnson, who cut open the
ball and found 1T to be up to the
standard. This wipes out the usupi-
cion which has been pointed at Connie
Mack's team.
