other teams. but the pitchers Judgment
goes when the pitcher and catcher do
not agree on the kind Of ball to use. Two
or three other managers instruct their
catchers to rely on the Judgment Of
veteran pitchers. All Of Mack's pitchers
have the final say.
Take the pitchers Judgment was
an early season order from Manager
Mack. and he never changed It," said
Chief Bender and Eddie Plank used
their own judgment the season before
last, and did so well the rule was made
general. Everybody must use his head,
| is one OF Comics rules.
''One advantage OF the pitchers 5udg-
ment counting is in the help he gets
from the .infielders. Our inHelders were
the pitchers advisers. They watched
the batter as closely as the battery men.
That was part Of their work.
Connie doesn't count a stolen base
on the catcher. It is even between the
pitcher and catcher. No catcher can
much OF a lead is the way Connie puts
1t.
"There was never call-down for the
pitcher or catcher when Connie Oe-
lieved fast ball should have been
used instead Of q curve. or vice versa.
We were expected to know what to do.
Advice came before or after the game.
And then 1t was up to both pitcher and
catcher.
MACK does a lot Of things different
from other managers I have played tor.
Every man on the team has his ear
when q suggestion is offered. We were
all called upon to dig up something at
daily dope meetings"

-FOUR BIG BATTLES
THIS WEEK FOR c. j.
Hi|Itoppers Will Have Little 0p.
portunity for Further
Experimenting.

Georgetown will begin its base ball
campaign in real earnestness this week,
games being scheduled with four big
teams, Tuesday and Friday being the
only dates left open. Considering that
but one game a week has been played so
far, the work before the locals during
the next seven days makes up a heavy
task, and one that will settle IN its out
come the dependability of the team.
Cornell will be on the cards tomorrow.
After Fridays easy win over the 1tha-
cans the Blue and Gray feel confident
of annexing another victory. O'Conor
will be on the mound in this fray. the big
veteran now being in excellent shape and
we'll qualified to twirl against the north
ern rivals.
Wednesday the Hilltoppers will journey
to Baltimore to meet the Eastern League
club of that city. In this game it Is the
intention of the coach to thoroughly try
out a couple of his pitchers, placing them
in front of the heavy hitters of the
Oriole aggregation. Coming back here
Thursday, the locals will meet Fordham
on the heights that afternoon, and will
then lay off over Friday to get in condi-
ton for the first Princeton game, which
is down for Saturday.
The calling OFF of yesterdays game
with Dartmouth was done with much re-
greet, but the decision was imperative on
account of the condition Of the field.
Both teams were anxious to play, and 1t
was not until late in the day that hopes
were finally given up. This means that
the Hanover team will not cross bats
with Georgetown this year.
Because OF the hard games that are
now SO imminent 1t is certain that very
little changing will be done with the
West End lineup. The one used against
Cornell gave entire satisfaction, its few
sip-ups being attributable to a lack of
practice on account of the weather. 1t
is certain that this makeup will be re-
tanned tomorrow and for all the other
games Of the coming week unless some
thing unforeseen makes a new shift ex-
tremAlY necessary.

KILL ELEVEN
EVERY DAY
FOR THE YEAR ENDING JUNE
80, 1910, 1904 WE'RE KILLED
ON AMERICAN RAILROADS
AND S2,374 INJURED.

With the view of reducing the ap-
pallingly large list of people killed
and injured each year in railroad
accidents in the United States, the
Interstate Commerce Commission has
written the State Railroad Commits
sion advising it that whenever it is
desired that it will help investigate
accidents occurring in this state, and
that it is also desirOus of securing
complete data with relation to those
which it does not assist to investi-
gate.
Congress last year passed an act
authorizing the Interstate Commerce
commission whenever it saw fit to in
vestigate in conjunction with the
state railroad commissions accidents
occurring throughout the country.
The commission says in its communi-
cation that, during the year ending
June 80, 1901, 1904 people were
killed in railroad accidents in the
United tates, and S2,374 injured, and
that it believes that by rigid investi-
cations of all accidents in the future
the list can be reduced this year.

SHOT STOKES
To GET into
VAUDEVILLE

New York, July 17.-Lillian Gra-
ham and Ethel Conrad, alleged to
have shot w. E. D. Stokes, million
aire hotel man, Chile in their apart
ments, must face jury. District At
torney Whitman has decided to re-
fuse the girls permission to appear
before grand jury and tell their
side of the story. Had he allowed
them to appear and testify it would
have amounted virtually to immuni-
ty from prosecution.
Stokes has been summoned to ap-
pear before the grand jury tomor-
row. He will repeat, it is expected,
the story he told before Magistrate
Freschi, when the girls were bound
over to the criminal court. The in
dictments, which it is expected will
be returned, probably will charge fe-
lonious assault, and not attempt to
murder. 1t is understood the indict-
ments already have been prepared in
blank, and the grand jury investiga-
ton is merely formality to bring
the case before the court.
If indicted, the girls will plead not
guilty. They will be admitted to
bail, their attorneys assert, and will
then fill vaudeville engagements.

FOR CONTEMPT OF COURT.

Washington, July 17.-When the
contempt case of Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation
of Labor; John Mitchell, vice-presi-
dent and Frank Morrison, secretary,
were heard in the court of Supreme
Justice Wright, of the District of Co.
lumbia, it was practically admitted
that the power behind the Bucks
Stove and Range company prosecu-
ton Of the labor leaders was not that
concern, but the American Anti-Boy-
colt Association.
Attorney Daniel Davenport admit
ted that he was counsel for the Anti
Boycott Association, and that he,
with Attorneys Beck and Darlington,
the committee to which the Gompers
cases were referred, received not a
cent from the Bucks company, but
were paid by the anti-boycott asso-
citation. The admission was made af-
ter Alton B. Parker. Counsel for
Gompers, had declared that he was
able to prove the charge.
Despite the expose, Justice Wright
overruled all motions to dismiss the
charges against Gompers, Michel
and Morrison, on the ground that the
committee was prejudiced.
Attorney Ralston, Parker's associ-
ate, then demanded that the case be
certified to another court on the
ground that Justice Wright was dis
qualified from giving the labor chiefs
fair trial, he having expressed
IN fhnfr u11fIf
Wright overruled that motion also
and denied expressing any such opin-
ion.
Further hearing was postponed un-
til next Monday.

one baby is already attributed to
them; also the death of several cattle
and + couple of horses. Many other
horses have been driven frantic Fat

The ship was only abandoned af-

Three boats filled with shipwrecked
sailors became separated several
days after leaving the ship. 1t is
feared there is no hope of the miss
