wife and two children, who. he alleged
had deserted him at McComb City.
The man proved to be Harms, and Mr.
Agnew at once detected an African in
the wood pile, and, unknown to each
other, arranged for them to meet in
his office Wednesday afternoon. Here
it was learned that it was Mrs. Harms
who had left her home after she and
Lueg had been confronted by her hus-
band there.
Children Bones Of Contention.
Mrs. Harms acknowledges that Lueg
had made her presents Of silk stock
ings, and made uncomplimentary ref
erences to her husband. Harms furth
er charged that Lueg was supplying
the funds to keep Mrs. Harms in the
city, adding THAT he had offered hin
$500 while at McComb City to take
his wife, leave the city and say ne
more about the affair. This Harm:
says he refused to do.
His visit to New Orleans was to Sc

New Orleans, Aug. 1S.-A woman's
love for silk stockings has separated
one family at McComb City, Miss, and
caused a considerable rift in another,
although it is still hanging together.
Although the incidents causing the
domestic disturbances all happened in
McComb City, the principals all came
to New Orleans, where the facts be-
came known.
Fred Harms, a deserted husband,
his wife Nora, her two children, and
Felix Lueg are the principals in the
cast. Mr.. Harms is posing as the vic
tim, naming Lueg as his wife's friend,
while Mrs. Lueg, for the sake of her
own family, has apparently forgiven
her husband.
Woman's Perfidy Alleged.
The exposure was the result of a
visit of Mrs. Harms, accompanied by
Mrs. Lueg. to the office of Thos. G.
Agnew, superintendent of the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Chill
dren, last Saturday. Here Mrs. Harms
told a story of having been deserted
! by her husband at Birmingham two
months ago. Supt Agnew made a
note for investigation. On Tuesday a

YOUNGER LEAGUE
HITS The HARDEST
AMERICAN LEAGUE HAS A BET
TER SHOWING IN THE BIG
STICK LINE THAN DOES THE
NATIoNAL-QuALITY OF PITCH
ING HAS NOT FALLEN.

There are more than twice as many
players batting 800 or better in the
American league than in the National.
Ban Johnsons organization boasts of
thirty -four men batting.S00 or above;
the parent league can claim only six
teen.
In the American league four players
are hitting better than 400; in the Ma
tional league there is not one player
hitting 400 or above Eighteen men in
the American league are batting better
than $50
The curious part of the record is
that the National leaguers-that is,
umpires and managers and club own
ers-recently issued statements all to
the effect that the pitching in the Ma
tional league this year was not on the
same high level that it had been in
other years; they claimed it was dis
tinctly mediocre.
NO such word has been passed
around regarding American league pit
chers. They are considered as efficient
as ever. The increased hitting is cred
tied to the new brand Of baseball used
this year, not to weak pitching. AS
far as make of baseballs is concerned,
National league batsmen have the
same advantage that American leagu-
ers possess. 1t is an even break in
the major organizations.
Taking into consideration the state
ments regarding the brand of pitching
In the National, the American league
must have far superior batsmen to the
National.

cAsEYs vINDIcATIoN.

Twas no electric light cafe, nor yet a
rich mems club,
But plain back room in Kauffman's
place, where they quaffed 1t by the
tub.
The same old gang was present on
that afternoon so fair,
Discussing all the baseball dope-I am
glad that / was there.
The air was blue with pipe smoke and
redolent of hops,
And likewise full of 'strikeouts, -
home runs and circus stops"
Then they got reminiscent and bark
ed back year by year.
To the days of George and Harry
Wright, whose memory is dear.
They spoke of one Ted Sullivan, Pop
Arson, Silver Flint,
And a famous catcher, Kelly, who was
purchased for mint
And then they mentioned Casey, the
mighty Casey, who struck out.
In that wonderous game at midwife,
pitched by Jakey Weinerkraut.
Said one: who is this Jalxey that we
all have heard about?
What proof have we he turned the
trick and struck Mighty Casey out n

cited, gulped his beer

All eyes turned on the stranger as he
gazed upon the group,
He was short and somewhat pudgy,
and his shoulders seemed to stoop,
He wore a faded suit of blue, batter
ed cap upon his head,
His hair was gray and grizzled and
his nose was rather red.

boy. Sit down.
And tell us what you know about the

BEST STEALERS
TAKE SHORT Lead
BASE PURLoINERs TAKE THE
SHORTEST LEADs-coss, COL
Inns AND SPEAKER ouTeUEss
THE CATCHER BY NOT SHOW.
ING THEIR HAND.

The best stealers in the American
league do not get the biggest lead off
first base. Germany Schaefer gets
further off first than any other player.
Bobby Wallace and Wild Conroy lead
further off first than Cobb, Collins or
Speaker. Danny Hoffman, former
brownie, got as far off first as Schaef-
err but was never a leading base
stealer.
Schaefer spoils his lead by always
being prepared to go back to first in
stead of toward second He never has
his body in motion toward second,
Cobb, Collins and Moriarity are al
ways In motion, and prepared to go
either way. Their success is their
ability to start quickly.
Cobb uses his lead off first as
trick. Sometimes, when he does not
intend to steal, he gets further off the
bag than when he intends to run. His
dope is that if he has a short lead the
catcher will not think he is going
down and is less likely to waste the
ball. Cobb sometimes takes a big lead
to make the pitcher waste balls and
get In a ohle with the batter. No cat
cher can tell for sure when Cobb, Col
Inns or Moriarity will try to steal.
Cobb takes the biggest lead off Sec
ond Of any player. He leads as far
off second when he is the only runner
on as other players do when run
ner is on third base. If the catcher
pegs to second when Ty is leading off
the tiger goes to third. If the catcher
throws to third, Cobb returns to Sec
ond.
Cobb and Collins play the dope that
any time they have to be tagged they
have the opposition beaten. The ne
cessity of tagging a runner makes any
close play hard and Cobb and Collins
rely on their ability to slide away from
basemen.
