 Are Refused

Boston, July Civilian F. Baker, former Police Commissioner of New York. and his cousin, William Locke, secretary of the Pittsburg baseball club came within ten shares of be- coming half owner of the Boston Ma tional League Baseball club today.
 Baker and Locke came to this city early yesterday morning to close an agreement made with President Rus sell by which he was to sell them half the stock of the local club. They found that the Boston magnate did not own the club outright, that he held or controlled 98O shares of the 1000 outstanding stock and that in agreeing to sell them one half the stock he meant 490 shares, which would leave the proposed purchasers in a position where they could have little or nothing to Say about how the club should be run provided the owners of the other twenty shares voted with MT. Russell Therefore, no stock changed hands, the whole thing being called off.
 Ned ,Hanlon of the Baltimore club was also a visitor at President Rus sells office. The formers representa- tive asked MT. Russell in New York to fix price for the ownership of the club, but this the latter refused to do, and he asked that Hanlon make an offer. Hanlon called in per- son and made an offer which Presi- dent Russell turned down.

Speed Of Amos
 RuSie Recalled
Famous Giant Twirler Threw Light Bali" Although He's
 Some Smoke

1 San Francisco, July 21-Amos Rusie, , the greatest ever, who has been breez- 1 ing around the north for few days, 1 has set number of old-time bugs to bringing back stories of the old days, when Rusie was there with that $50,- GOO arm. There are many fans who will tell you today that Amos Rusle was the greatest pitcher that ever threw a ball. Every now and then you will hear the claim advanced that a certain pitcher has greater speed than RuSfe, for Rusie and speed mean the same thing Not only was he
 the speediest thrower that ever faced a batsman, but he had about as hard a breaking curve as ever batsman has been called on to fathom. And control? Ah, there is where Amos did shine! When it was and ?, and the batter might reasonably expect a fast one, Amos dished up curve that broke as fast as a 1eaping trout and it was all off with the batter.
 Amos was bad twirler for the bat He threw what is known as the light ball. Travelling over the plate like a buckshot, it was light as a feather in the catcher's mitt, and easy to handle. Parke Wilson, who managed the old Seattle club, was one of Amos favor1te catchers in early days. But a thing happened in Chicago one day that made Amos and his arm. but memory. Trying to catch Bill Lange off first base, the throw snapped some thing in that pitching arm. He f1n- ished the game, stalling through with a floating curve, and he won 1t, too, but before he reached his hotel the arm was badly swollen and would not yield to treatment. The best special ists in New York and Chicago looked at that $50,000 arm, but could do noth@> ing.
 Owner Freedman, with whom Rusie was constantly at war, thought the great pitcher was stalling to get away from New York, and refused to be- lieve that Giant Amos had reached the end of his string.

SENATOR BROWN FAVORS

Special from United Press.)

Special from United Press.)
 Washington, July 21-Lauding the Canadian reciprocity agreement as "the cornerstone of new tariff sys- tenn, which will contain honest protec- tive duties and which will put an end forever to unnecessary and excessive duties," Senator Brown, (Rep., Neb. ), yesterday urged it's adoption by the Senate.
 'T am convinced that the enactment of this bill will result in larger trade with Canada in all the products pro- duced and manufactured in the Unit ed States said Brown. One addi- tional reason why he favored the bill, he said, was because of the opposition manifested by Edward Hines, witness in the Loriner Investigating commit tee.
 When find that this man Hines," he said, ''for years the head of the lumber lobby and lumber combination of the country. before Senate and House committees and incidentally, according to testimony that is slight ly disputed, electing a Senator and then leading a personal assault on the President of the United States and opposing this law in the name and for the sake of the farmers, I begin to think there is something in this bill which ought to command the re- spect and support of every honest man in the country"
