torneys last August she would be at the
Astor house and they might serve her
with papers there. but she would not

that he exacted the following written
promise from her under date of August
IL, 1910:
81 hereby promise Ernie that if | ever
again stay out all night or go to see

HATTERS' CASE
 WILL COME UP
 AGAIN AUGUST 20

Hartford, Aug. s.--Judge James L.. Martin of Brattleboro, Vt, will take up with a jury in the United States court in this city, on Tuesday, August 20. the suit of D. P. LoeWe & Co, hat manufacturers of Danbury, against members of hatters' unions in Dan- bury, South Norwalk and Bethel. The case was taken up for trial before Judge James P. Platt and a jury in the court in the fall of 1909. It ran over into 1910, and wound up by a judgment against the defendants for S222 00O. The case went to the United States circuit court of appeals and to the Supreme court of the United States and it was because of a rever- sal of the Judgment that the case comes back for another trial. Judge Platt because of his having. sat on the former trial, is disqualified and that is the reason Judge Martin Is
 The former trial occupied 1S weeks and for some days plans have been under way in the clerks office in pre- paration for the second trial. The ex- pectation is that a jury for the trial will be selected from among the 4S electors who are being summoned to be in attendance on August 20, but there will not be as many lawyers in the case as there were on the former trial. Daniel Davenport of Bridge port ana w dlJST GOTuOA 1M6IIlLL OL New York, who were on the plain tiffs' side before, will prosecute the action this time. and, the defense will be conducted by John K. Beach of New Haven, and Frank L. Mulholland of Detroit, Mich. Mir. Mulholland was not in the trial before, but associated with MT. Beach, were Attorney Gen. eral John H. Light, Robert E. DeFor- est of Bridgeport and Howard W. Tay- Tor of Danbury.
 Judge Platt's next engagement in the court is on September "A when he will preside over the next term of the court in New Haven for, the handling of criminal cases and on September 27 he will hold a session for the nat- uralization of aliens. No one has pre- sumed to estimate how long the Loewe case will take on the second trial but while Judge Martin is here the expec- tation is that. Judge Platt will go to Vermont and hold court in Judge Mar tins district, should any matters come up that require attention.

EXCISE PROWLERS ON THEIR JOB
 IN NEW YORK
FARLEY EXPECTS TO CLOSE SOME FLIGHTY RESTAURANTS
 AND COLLECT FINES.
CONEY HEARD HIM COMING
And Shut Up at i O'Clock to Bid the
 State Visitors Welcome.

New York, Aug. 8-Commissioner w. W. Farley of the State Excise De- partment now says he will make New York his headCllarters for several months and push the campaign against vfolators of the liquor law. His inspectors will keep on the trail of the offenders and before he is through MT. Farley expects to close up a number of cafes and restaurants and to have several persons fined.
 Tt took us nearly three months to clean up Albany" said Commissioners Farley, fand it probably will take fully that long to finish what we have places pretty well sized up now and after. this our work will be to keep watch on them and make sure that they are not lapsing.
 ''The news that I am in town is pretty well noised around and for ant proprietors who have been vtolat- ing the law will be careful to keep down the lid. AS soon as they think that we have relaxed our watch they will be back to the old tricks. The fact that everything is closed tight model city, but that the old offenders are fighting shy of us.''
 Yesterday morning Commissioner Farley, Deputy Commissioner Norris, Special Deputy Commissioner James S. Began and Lawyers Firestone and Donnellon with about fifteen depart ment agents made tour of Sheeps- head Bay and Coney Island in auto- mobiles. Saloon keepers and beer gar den proprietors were waiting with bland smiles and closed shops. Com missioner Farley returned the smile and advised the men to keep on being good: It was midnight when the tour started.
 The commissioner Is going to do a good deal of spying around, and for month or two he will be a frequent midnight visitor to places which his agents have reported to him as sus- picious.
 The agents or detectives of the de- partment now number about forty in the city. They are distributed in the various boroughs with the largest number at COney Island. They are dressed in civilian clothes and of course have to do their work after o'clock in the morning. They stroll around from place to place in the guise of early morning jewellers with heavy thirst, and at each place they call for drinks. If the drinks are forthcoming the name of the cafe and of the proprietor go down in a note book, and the first thing the latter knows he is served with a summons to appear before the Court of Appeals to show cause why his license should not be revoked.

COLLEGE FOR TRAINING
 OF YOUNG BALL PLAYERS

Detroit. Aug. s.--Baeebau is prob ably the only profession today that lacks a training college This Is to be rernedied. Before next winter the big league game will have a college for players. The idea first came to Charlie Orr, the ofd- time first base man. Orr talked the matter over with Frank J. Navin, and the president of the Detroit club is now an enthusias- tic supporter of $lle scheme. Presi- dent Navin, who intends taking the question up with the owners in the American League at the earliest possi solve moment, thinks the plan will solve the problem of locating stars at the minimum of expense. Thousands of dollars are spent every year hunt Mg up recruits and buying young players that frequently turn out to be worthless.
 At the college recruits from the bush es would be trained for the ma jor leagues. Each spring when the six teen big league clubs go South to train small fortune is lost in weed Ing out the new players. Instear of taking these youngsters to the varions training camps in future the idea is to assemble the recruits at one center, forming practically baseball college. Here experienced players would show them how to play the game. It is planned to have the faculty consist of veterans who have gained fame on the diamond. There will be an expert for every position on the diamond.
 Manager Wolverton, who was here with his Yankees, when asked if he thought the plan feasible, said: Yes, I think the plan a very good one. A college of that sort would do much for baseball. Recruits trying to break into the big leagues generally know little about the real game player may have the makings of star pitcher. and not know how to handle himself He needs to- be developed, and I think that with good instructors a school of this character would be very valuable to the game.
 Just where the college will be loca- ted has not yet been decided. Orr says he is sure of proper backing, and just as soon as he gets enough money he will purchase tract of land and begin corporations. It is planned to establish a hotel near the winter quarters. and here nagnates and man agers will be able to stay while watch ing students at work.

AMERICANS BALK AT
 LONG. AUSTRALIAN TRIP
Uncle sam's Tennis Stars Won't Go
 After Cup This Year.

There is very little likelihood of America participating in this year Davis Cup contest. Robert D. Wrenn president of the United States Ma tionaI Lawn Tennis Association. an- nounces that efforts to secure players contest have met with a. complete lack of success Not only the chal- lenge tie but the remaining prelimin- ary tie (if the latter should be play ed) will be contested in Australia, and this has added greatly to the difficult ty experienced in securing a suitable team.
 A final decision has not yet been reached by the committee in interna- tional competition of the U. S. N. L.. T. A., consisting of R. D. Wrenn, H. W. Slocum and W. J. Clothier, but ca- Diagrams and letters have been sent to the Australasian and English asso- citations stating that it is almost cer- tain that we shall not be able to get a team together A final decision is to be reached on or before August Is.
 Whatever hope may have been en- tertained a month or two ago that two or three good men could be se- cured has disappeared. The crown ing blow came when Maurice E.. Me- Laughiin, who was a member of the team in 1909 and 1911 told R. D. Wrenn that he could not possibly spare the time to make the long trip to Ausutralia. Mclaughlin feels that such q trip would interfere with his pursuit @ business, and while he is still keen to go and have a third match with Brookes he regards the trip utterly out of the question this year.
 McLaughlin's enforced declination is in line with that of all the other first class Dlayers who have bAen ar- preached. They include Larned, Clo- thier, Little, Behr and others, and all have been obliged to say no.

TO GRAB THORPE
 FOR PITCHER

If plans mature, baseball fans and athletic enthusiasts in general will be pleased to learn of the advent in to the national pastine of Jim Thorpe. the famous worlds all-round athletic champion. Professionalism looks sweet to the great Indian. but he won't sacrifice his amateur stand ing unless enough money is forth coming.
 Thorpe has been inveigled into signing a contract by the powers that be in the Pittsburg National League club. They want him to pitch ball for the Pirates next season. They need his services badly, and besides Manager Fred Clarke is anxious to bolster up his twirling squad.
 Had not the Olympic games in- terfered he might have been in the big show by this time. But as early mind to impress upon followers of athletics that he was the best ever in that line of sport, and forget for the time being his promise to the Pitts- burg club.
 Just as soon as everything is ami cably arranged Thorpe will be asked to get ready for the regular spring training trip. He is anxious to ex- hibit his wares before he Is asked to appear before the critics Every one has, heard Of Thorpe'g prowess as a pitcher. He has defeated many strong teams while on the firing line for the Carlisle Indian School and is destined to improve right along. F No better judge Of ball players than Johnny McGraw was after Thorpe's services. Scouts travelling through Carlisle, Pa, witnessed several games in which the Indian was the star ac- tor and they wired all about him.
 Get this fellow as soon as you can," read one telegram. You'll have 8 real Indian battery"
 But as events afterward turned out Barney Dreyfuss & Co.,, beat the Giants leader to the contract.
 Thorpe possesses an unlimited amount of speed and has enough braing for the big leagues. He is a football player of the highest grade, but strangely enough he loves the diamond game a great deal better than almost any other sport.
 According to Glenn Warner, coach of the school and mainly responsible athlete, Thorpe has mastered all the fine points of baseball and to all in tents and purposes stands ready to show the best judges that he is en- titled to place in the National Lea que.
 Thorpe is natural athlete and he loves to play ball. He may com plain of appearing for practice work in an athletic stunt, but when you whisper baseball to him he can hard ly wait for the night to be oYer.''
 Thorpe has another term at Car liSle.

But a Journey that requires as many months is quite another matter, and most of this country's players are unable to find the time to make the trip.
