The restoration Of interior OF the old
south meeting house is rapidly pro-
crossing. From many odd quarters
parts OF the old furnishings have been
collected and placed in their original
positions. The pulpit of 1857 is there
with the mahogany wineglass reading
desk, but careful search and inquiry
failed to locate the two mahogany
doors which formed the entrance to
the pulpit on each side. These doors
were Of peculiar curved shape and
would be quite useless for any other
purpose. This has given rise To the
nope that they are all still i'm exist
cnce and that with greater publicity of
the need the one in whose possession
they now are viii be found.

her that Luderus, whose brilliant
playing on first base for the Philadel-

While Luderus play was not unusual

ting and fielding averages at the close
of the season.
His speciality since joining the Ma

He has already made eight around the
circuit hits and from the pace he has
been maintaining, seems good for many
more before the season is over. In a
recent game with Cincinnati Luderus'
home run broke up the game in the
eleventh inning. His many copper

SAYS PH|LLIES
SWIPE SIGNALS
CLARK GRIFFITH BELIEVES MAN
AGER DooIN'S BUNCH WILL
BEAR WATCHING-NoT
FIRST TIME.

Philadelphia, May 20.-Clark Griffith,
manager of the Cincinnati Reds, be-
lieves the Phillies are tipping off the
signals of the opposing teams. He
acknowledged last night that he had
alternated four different sets of sig
nails in one game to defeat the alleged
tipping" The Phlllies did not hit
when he did this.
Manager Griffith was watching the
clubhouse closely during his teams
stay at Philadelphia. 1t Is his conten-
ton that no ball club ever got toseth-
er could hit as the Phillies have been
hitting without the aid OF some signal
service. h
Harry Mclean. who was catching
for the Reds when the Phlles pulled
off their wholesale slaughter of Gin
cinnatl pitchers, is even more certain
than Griffith. Mclean claims the Phil
lies were stepping up and into every
curve ball before it reached the plate
and that they were prepared for every
kind of a catch.
Griffith pulled Mclean out of the
game to Give young Sevoroid chance
At least that was what Grinlth said
but Mclean was stationed on the
bench for an inning trying to figure
out with Griffith just where Tie signal
bureau was located.
Several years ago the Philies did
work this system with great success
through an electrical contrivance OPP
Grated by Catcher Morgan Murphy,
which tipped off to the famous "Petie"
Childs, who always coached on third,
just what was coming to the plate.
and Childs notified the batter.
Any sentence with con" i'm ii meant
a curve ball, and "it' meant fast

ping the Phillies soon earned repu-
tation as the greatest team of slug
