Mrs. Trump stood right up in
meeting yesterday and said that c. c.
Griffith, or whoever was responsible
for keeping poor old Tom Hughes ON
the griddle. should be fired out OF the
league, that 1t was a burning shame
to force him to taife that beating from
such ginks as T. Turner and l.. Liv-
Ingston. And when the sad afternoon
had idled itself away and the young
athletes retired to their coop beneath
the huge stand a badly beaten bunch

Owner of White Sox Says
Nationals Improvement Is
Not Matter of Luck.

PHILADELPHIA, July 12.-"Griffith

says Charlie Comiskey. the White Sox
magnate, visiting this city now with
President Johnson, of the American
League, and 1t isn't by luck. either
though luck enters into all ball games
in some way or other. Washington has
one of the best ball teams I have ever
seen.

Like Winners When Last
In Detroit.

NEW YORK, July It'd like TO see
Griffith and his Nationals land the flag
this year." said Tyrus Raymond Cobb,
the Tiger star, III we're out of the bat
tie, for 1t would be the greatest thing
that ever happened, TO baseball in the
American League. They've got a chance,
too, It seems to me:
when Washington played in Detroit
this spring. 1t looked like the best team
In the league. They hit all our pitch
ers, though Jean Dubuc had the best
luck against them until that ninth in
ming when they romped ahead like a
fash of lightning.
Young players make speed in a ball
team, and Grif seems to have picked
up a bunch of fast youngsters who are
playing their heads off every day. I'm
pulling for. them. believe me, and SO
are most of the players on our club"

By SENATOR"

Hughey Jennings, manager of the De-
troit Tigers, thinks Kid Foster, the
Climbers young third baseman, is the
best third-corner guardian in either of
the big leagues. Furthermore, he comes
in open day and confesses it.
kid Foster has made the Washing
ton team" Old Hughey Jennings yes
terday. He is the best third baseman
In the big leagues, and covers not only
his own position. but also half the in
field / never saw b faster infielder.
Foster plays deep all the time, but he
comes in like flash on bunted balls,
and few get away from him. Griffith
has a well-balanced, non-star team,
which isn't an accident 1t wouldn't
surprise me bit IL the Senators cap
tured the pennant."
Certainly. Fosters work this season
has created furore all over the Ameri-
can League circuit this year by his fine
work around the bag and his stellar
sticking in the pinches. His hitting in
the it-and-run play cannot be equaled
with Daredevil Dan" Moeller few
teams can prevent Moeller's reaching
second, II not third, base.
Griffith Was Waiting.
II there had ever been all opening
yesterday for the Climbers to have
taken the lead or even come UP equal
with the Naplanders. Clark Griffith
would have swung Tomasso Hughes
o"t of the battle line and injected some
ether twirlcr into the combGt But the
Nationals were not hitting to any ex-
tent therefore Griffith let Hughes stay
III the struggle. 1t would have done
no good to have put Engel in any
earlier. according to the deep ?oEita-
n Mn n ha
Therefore, TonlasSo took his. and it
WAS solmr swIttlug.
Manager Griffith reiterates today that
his Climbers will take The pennant,
aSI eeing wholly with Hughev Jennings.
Jennings has the right dope" says
Griff. I've have fine chance to land
the flag. | expect to have my team
III the running down to the verv end.
II we lose. 1t will be because of breaks
in the luck. From my point Of view
the Nationals have as good a chance
for the final honors as any team In the
league. l don't believe in quitting,

Doom Is Funny.
"haris Dooin is positively funny in
claiming that the spithall Is unsanitary.
The sort of delivery has been in vogue
in the big Leagues for ut least ten years,
aud 1t Is passing strange that Doom
i
President OF the National League, will
lruyably haze something to say about
IN" use OF taboscO sauce on The ball as
q means Of stopping opposing pitchers
from using tl'e salivary shoot.
However, Lynch is on a good trail
when he seeks TO make the players
gentlemen on the field, and make the
fans stay off the players on the field.
ST Louis is up in arms against Heinie
Zimmerman. of the Chicago Cubs, for
using indecent and profane language
ball is too big a game for players to
use such language on the field. They
should be squelched and squelched
promptly.
Jimmy Callahan is trying to bolster
up his weak pitching stan. He has sent
Billy Gleason up into the Internal tional
League to find some possible star in the
box who may prove of worth to the
White SoX. The White Sox are sadly
in need of good pitching talent in order
to hold their own in the scramble for
the American League pennant

POLICE IN BATTLE
WITH TRAIN BANDITS
Cornered Bandits Kin Themselves
Rather Than Be Arrested-Crime
Shocks All Of France.

Orleans, France.-The police sdr-
prised four men in the act OF stealing
goods from the railway station here.
The thieves ran when they saw the
police and attempted to board an out
going train. They were pursued by
the gendarmes and station officials.
The police fired at the thieves and
the latter returned the fire A regu-
lar fusillade followed. The sub sta
tion master fell at the first fire and
then police official was shot.
The train was still moving slowly
when the police surrounded one Of
the bandits, who blew out his brains
A second member of the gang, who
was cornered, was about TO commit
suicide also when he was brought
down by bullet in the leg and cap
tured. A third bandit also killed him
self while the only remaining one es-
capped 10 the open fields
In reply to questions the wounded
bandit said: My name is Oscar

Wild or Wilson, is a thickly built
man with dark eyes and curly hair.
He is said to be the same man who
committed the Rue d'Ordaner outrage
The two dead bandits were French
men.
This extraordinary affair lasted five
minutes, during which hundreds Of
shot were fired. Fifty men were after
the man who was shot and captured.
He was manacled and placed in Jail
When the train arrived at Etampes
all the passengers were searched One
first class passenger pulled out a re-
volver and shot himself 1t was found
afterward that he was not involved
in the Orleans robbery but was badly
wanted by the police, as he was recog-
nized as a murderer and thief.

ders.
1t was at one of the stations of this
new line that a palace train picked
up passenger with an odd claim. She
was Mrs. Jeanette Dalton, and that
was the name Of the station at which
she boarded the train. At once she
began to talk to the conductor, to-
whom she intrusted the information
that although she was eighty years,
old she had neither seen nor ridden
on train until that very minute
She had settled in Green Lake county
as far back as 1898, when she did her
travelling by OK team. She therefore
had lived within a comparatively short
distance Of the capital of the great
Badger domain seyenty-three years
without seeing or hearing such q thing
as railroad train. On this occasion
she was out for a visit in Milwaukee,
where she received much attention
from the railroad people.

the investigation has Unexpectedly
been shunted, resulted in sharp and
almost bitter passages between coun.

Blumenberg's discharge was due to
his refusal to explain his conduct Sat

Detective Agency, was then completed
The witness said his notes were gen

turned over to the committee.
Blumenberg testified that he exam

The conduct of the campaign against

at Juarez was directly connected with
the Iapatista rebellion, and it was
agreed that Pascual Orozco and 400
men whom he has been ordered to
take from chihuahua TO Juarez would
be sufficient to restore order at that
point, Nevertheless the Juarez upris-
ing is more seriously considered than
the officials here will admit.
