PORTSMOUTH DROPS
OUT OF TIDEWATER
VIM Clark Disbands Team, and Men Must Hus-
tie Tor Themselves Declares Bradley Did
Not Give Him Square Deal in
Taking On Jobson

portsmouth, Va. July 23.-It is not
often the owner of a baseball team
gives It away. but that is Just what
Winn Clark, owner and manager of the
Portsmouth club. in the Tidewater
League, tried 10 do all day yesterday
Nobody would have it. and yesterdays
double header was the last professional
baseball 10 be played by Portsmouth
this season.
Clark has given up the fight, an
uphill proposition from the first OF the
year, when he tried without success to
get local capital interested In the team
Last night the players were paid off
nnd told TO hustle for themselves.
To-day ali are looking for jobs.
Il could have perhaps carried the
team to the end of the season." said
Manager Clark last night by selling
of all my best players and trailing
along as a Joker behind the other
clubs. but even then l would have been
losing moUey every day"
II have let my men CO." continued
Clark, land they may sign where they
Will. ! have had several chances III
the past three weeks TO sell some Of
them, but ] knew If I did it would
mean the end of the club, and want
ed TO hold on as long as | could.
II told SECRETARY Van Patten, OF the
Men association, To-Day L
would give the team to Portsmouth
business mep if they would pay me
500 for two sets of uniforms, bats
bags and other paraphernalia, which
does not represent q Attn of their
value. He said it was too late in the
season to take the team over
I do not think 1 have lost over
thousand or twelve hundred dollars
this season, and consider myself
lucky that 1 got out so light. Had it
not been for four players sold to the
New York Americans l would have
come out badly in the hole. II any
one THINKS l have made any money
this season, as has been said, he can
take the team for nothing and see
what he can do with it.
Portsmouth needs a rest If the
town has no team for several years
some man may be able to step in anu
carry team without loss. Just now
the town is where Petersburg has
been for several years-not interested
In baseball, and the town will not sup
port team.
THE only way the team could have
been made to pay would have been
for business men TO have taken stock
and financed it. In that way there
would have been much more interest
than when it became known that an
outsider controlled the club. I tried
to get business meE to take stock in
February, offering to manage the
team for $1,000 If they would put up

New York, July 2S.-Miss Lillian
Graham, who. with Miss Ethel Con-
rad. acquired notoriety by shooting w.
f. D. Stokes. millionaire owner OF the
Hotel Ansonia. and later capitalized
her experiences by going on the vau-
deville stage. added another chapter
to her exciting history by disappear
ing late last night.
Her sister Mrs. John Singleton, wife
of the Pacific coast mining magnate,

ters at 6 o'clock this morning with

There she decided with Miss Conrad
to prepare light luncheon Sugar

teered to go out and buy some This
was about 1870.
After waiting an hour. Mrs. Single
ton became alarmed and went out with
Miss Conrad to look for her sister.
I heir search was in vain. and they re-
turned TO the apartment and sat up all
night. hoping every minute that she
would return.
Shndnwed by Detectives
Finally Mrs. Singleton decided TO APP
peal to the police. she was hyster!cal
when she reached the detective bu-
reau. She declared that ever since
her arrival here IN aid her sis.ar IN
the Stokes case they had been shad-

ATWOOD PROM|SES
FURTHER FLIGHT.
Orders New Aeroplane and Will
Fly in Air Over Wash
ington.

Washington, July 2s.-"Moth the
second That is the name which Har-
ry \. Atwood the aviator. is planning
10 give his new aeroplane. The ma.
chine Is being rushed TO WASHINGTON
from Boston. and should arrive here
not later than Wednesday. Atwood
expects 10 take hts third aerial low
fide over the capital in the new craft
PROBABLY not later than the middle OF
the week.
The old Moth. which carried rhe
aviator on his triumphal visit 10 the
white House. and which was demol
ished In a Storm which swept over the
polo field Friday night, was dissem.
pied by Atwood's mechanician. George
r. Larson yesterday afternoon Prac-
tically the only part of the machine
mat resembled It's former self was the
engine. The wreck will be shipped ia
the BurgessWright factory. wbers
parts OF 1t will be used in the construc.
ton OF new aeroplane
Promises Real Thrills.
Atwood has promised residents of
the capital flight in the new b!plahe
that they Will not forget If he uses
the Washington Monument as a pivot
for his next aerial manoeuvres the
populace of the city will hold its brea tn
while 1t learns whether the Moth the
Ole. always just avoiding contact with
the surface that would mean its de-
struction, with the same success that
marked the flight OF its predecessor.
The decision of Atwood to telegraph
for the new machine was based on as
surances given him yesterday that a
purse of $4,000 would be raised to be
presented TO him upon the conclusion
OF his third flight. II the amount has
not been raised by the time the aero
plane arrives the flight will be called
of or postponed according to state
ments made by the aviator yesterday.
Chnnccs for Fund Good.
The loss sustained by Atwood on
account OF Friday nights storm has
created no little amount of sentiment,
generally, in favor of his being suit
ably rewarded for the exhibitions he
already has given the city. and indi-
cations are that the efforts being made
TO raise fund of $4,000 Will ma
terialize.
While Atwood remains in the city
arrangements for his proposed Chicago
to New York Hight are being made,
although the aviator refuses to dis
cuss them He stated yesterday that he
probably will not attempt the long

DALzELL FOR TAFT IN 1912
This In Spite of the Presidents Fight
for Reciprocity.

for Reciprocity.
Washington. July 2S.-"President
Taft surely will be renominated, and
it is my opinion that he will be re-
elected" said Representative John Dali
Zell.
Mr. Dalzell. who is an authority ON
protection. is one of the Republicans
in Congress who thoroughly disap-
proved OF the Presidents course with
respect to Canadian reciprocity. He
spoke against it, voted against IL, and
took no pains to conceal his thoughts
concerning it. But he does not see in
this any reason why he or any other
Republican should not indorse and
support President Taft's administra-
ton as a whole.
There is no concealins the fact"
said Mr.. Dalzell, that the Presidents
policy with respect to reciprocity dis
pleased a great many Republicans. who
believed he had abandoned the pria-
ciples of protection. This was shown
in the breaking of party lines in the
House and Senate
But during the last few weeks
those who did not approve of reel
procity have evidenced an inclination
to accept the inevitable and show 10
resentment OF it.
There is a general Understanding
among Republicans that the President
is determined 10 veto "A wool bin or
any other bill that may be passed
at this session of Congress. and this II;
very satisfactory TO that element that
does not want tariff tinkering now.
Taken altogether, there is better
feeling which argues well for Re
publican success. and IT is my belief
that President Taft will succeed him
self"

The Customs Official Had a Sense Of
Humor Himself.
In the smoking room of the Hotel
des lies Britanniques at the lovely re-
sort of Mentone, on the French Ri
viera, some three years ago two Eng
hshmen met. After half an hours
conversation the Englishman from
Manchester said to his new acquaint-
ance from London:
81 say, old fellow, would you mind
taking a small parcel for me to Paris
and have it sent to this address there2
Pm leaving for Milan in the morning"
The Londoner willingly consented to
do this much for one of his country
men.
"Awfully good of you. I'll have the
boy take the parcel to your room in
the morning." acknowledged the Eng
lishman bound for Milan.
In the morning the package was left
at the others room.
$50 that is what he calls a small
parcel" lie exclaimed. And what
might it contain? A package of such
size the custom officers would certain
~ want opened. What-cigarettes and
5000 of them. Is it possible that any
one could have the audacity to ask
such favor-to smuggle 5000 ciga-
rettes into France That chap shall
pay for this. for l shall declare these
cigarettes and leave them to be called
for when the duty is paid"
The Londoner left Mentone that aft
ernoon. The following day he was in
Paris at the Care de PEst, his luggage
ready for examination.
Anything dutiable?" asked the GUS
toms officer
Nothing" replied the Englishman,
"excepting in that parcel there"
"What does It containr
"Three thousand cigarettes" said the
Londoner, with smile upon his face
"a smile of embarrassment at having
such parcel with him.
The Frenchman raised his HANDS IL
the air and laughed heartily. He, too
was as ready for a good Joke as any
one, and on each piece Of the English
mans luggage went his o. X. cross.
Hardly realizing what had happened
the Londoner found himself riding II
a taxicab along the streets of Parii
with the parcel Of 5000 cigarettes I'm
der his arm and nothing left to do bu
to deliver it as he had been asked.
