ties were seriously wounded.
The battle was the climax OF an
all-night pursuit OF the bandit by
a sheriff's posse, which brought him
to bay at dawn on the summit OF
the rocky hills overlooking the wat
err holes of Tamoto Springs. Turn
ing upon his pursuers, the bandit,
entrenched behind bastions Of rock,
opened fire. One Of his first bullets
hit Squires and the under sheriff
fell, fatally wounded, in gulch al
most directly beneath the outlaw.
He lay calling for help throughout
the long fight, but each time an eff
fort was made to reach him. one or
more of his posse fell wounded.

ed and, f1anking the bandits posi-
ton, had riddled him with bullets.

cred. He was dead when picked up.

Turner Wins Straight
Falls From KilOniS

All doubt that has existed in the
minds of Washington wrestling fans as
to the superiority between Joe Turner,
the local middleweight, and John
Kilonis the1 Greek wrestler, was set
asunder at the Gayety Theater last
night, when the Washingtonian won
two straight falls, the first In twenty
minutes and the second in seven min
utes. During the greater part of the
encounter Turner was on the offensive.
he having gone at Kilonis with a rush
that brought the two to the mat early
In the fray.
In witnstanding Turner's fierce at
tack the Greek showed much pluck and
skill, and many times he released him
self from perilous holds The tactics
of both wrestlers was unquestionable
throughout. each having adopted meth
ods which met with the approval OF the
spectators.
The scissors and Mead lock was re-
sponsible for the first fall, Kilonis hav-
ing surrendered before his right shoul-
der touched the mat on account of an
injured rib. The second fall came by
means of a flying fall. Turner having
pinned his opponent before the latter
could collect himself.
Turner has challenges from Anderson,
Duchesne. and Maupas, which VIII be
acknowledged as soon as the popular
washington boy disposes of his many
out-of- town engagements.

The rule OF the association which

Subway Homer Holds
Record of Freak Hits

The home run where the ball bounds
through the tiny hole of the outfield
fence, is stuck upon picket, or is teeth
ed by a stray canine have nothing on
four-ply smash recorded by Miller Hug
gins in the fifth inning of Tuesdays
practice game at Robinson Field. Pre-
vious freakish homers border on the
fairy tale talk, but Huggins' wallop
will go down into history as sure
enough freak.
Choo-chooing In the right pasture was
a steam roller making the turf com
pact Mr.. Engineer was steering In
back of Frank Gilhooley when Hug
gins belted the ball to right. Gill
missed the bound and the ball skirted
past him and rolled beneath the
smasher.
When the roller had passed over the
ball Gilhooley was on the job waiting
to pick IL up, hoping TO get Huggins
at second or third. The kid hshed
around with both hands, attempting to
upll the sphere from the grasp OF the
ground. The ball was stuck. and stuck
tight. Huggins raced around the bases
and the athletes laughed as they saw
Gilhooley paving away.
1t was useless and Higgins made the
circuit, while Groundkeeper Dick
Shaner used a shovel to pry the ball
out of the ground.

batters. and In addition, connected for
a three-bagger and got one other hit.

BRESNAHAN MAKES
EFFORT TO BETTER
PITCHING STAFF
Cardinals Will Be Closely
Watched by Other
Managers.

ST. LOUIS, April 13.--It was Roger
Bresnahan and the Cardinal team
which were the sensation of the Ma
tional League in 1911. They showed
something of their speed last season,
and during all OF 1912 the other
managers will be watching them like
hawks. not to permit them to get
another start for a runaway spurt.
The team does not seem to be
stronger than 1t was in 1911, but IL
II is only as strong It will be a mem
ace to the peace of every team In
the first division and threaten all of
the teams in the second division.
Some changes may be made as the
playing season progresses, but for
the present 1t looks a great deal as
IL Bresnshan will take the field with
much the same nine that he had in
1911. He has made a great effort to
obtain pitchers. and has dipped in
right and left to find players who
of his team which Is not over strong.
1t Is out of the question TO know
what success he has had until after
the younger pitchers have had an
opportunity to show what they can
do in fast company. The chances
are that he has not engaged any
future Mathewsons, although he may
have found about two serviceable
men,
Behind the bat he has made an ef-
fort to assist himself and Bliss by MAX
Ing contract with johnson, a big.
| hard hitting batter who was good in
| the Three Eye" League last year
Bresnahan is not fond of work when
he believes there Is no necessity for
II. In other words, he likes to save
himself up for the big games.
The infield will not differ from that
of 1911. 1t is a fast infield, which
is not a hard hitting field. although last
year one or two of the players on the
infield batted so far ahead of their nor
NAL form that it looked like a better
batting quartet than 1t is.
The outfieid is fast. and is made up
of steady batters. There Is nothing SEN
sational about the hitting. but the men
who play the outfield can be depended
upon to do about SO much every day.

Wisconsin to Tax
Government Machine

An interesting question as to Federal
rights with regard to the operation OF
motor cars without State registration
and license is to be settled by the courts
soon. L. NJ. Compton, superintendent
of the Government Indian school at
Tomah, Wis, recently applied to the
Wisconsin secretary of state for regis
tration and license without cost on the
claim that the car Is to be used exclu-
sively In Federal service. The secre-
tary of state refused to issue the license
unless the customary fee Of S. was paid.
r. II. Abbott, Assistant Commissioners
of Indian Affairs, has ordered Mr..
Compton to operate the car without q
license In the premises, and the police
authorities of Tomah have been ordered
to enforce the law requiring every cal
operated in wisconsin to be registered
and bear license tags.

not better. I will stack Bescher up
against Cobb 3s A base runner any day.
and Bob is lust as good a fielder. too.
Take Cobb ana Crawford out OF the

under cover. r. Tower, a freshman,

New Swimming Pool
For Harvard Union

CAMBRIDGE. Mass, April 13.-It has
been decided by the trustees of the
Harvard Union. which is the undergrad
uate club at Cambridge, to build a
swimming pool 70 feet long and 30 feet
wide in the Union Building.
The present billiard hall is not used a
great deal, and the tables will! be taken
to a smaller room to permit the build
ing of the pool. This Is taken as an
indication that new college gym
nasium will not be built In the near
future
