POOR BASEBALL MAY Be
EXPECTED At THE FIRST
OF THE DETROIT SEASON
Lack of Condition Will Result In

BIZ RALPH L. YoNKER.

Some pretty poor baseball may be
expected when the season opens ID
Detroit. This Is said with all due re-
spect to the playing abilities OF the
Tigers and their American league op-
ponents.
There will be poor baseball at
Nayin field, both in the hitting anu
the fielding. Owing 10 the poor
weather that the teams have had Tor
their spring training and their con-
sequent lack of condition there viii
be dearth of hitting. Owing to the
wabbly condition that NaVin neid
must be in when the first game is
played there will be superabundance
OF errors.
"A far as the fielding, yesterdays
game az Cincinnati is an example OF
what may be expected here. The
game was played on a diamond made
new this year. Eight crimes were
charged to the Tigers and one to Gin
cinnati.
There was no lack of hitting yes
terday, II Is true, with 10 bingles Tor
each team, but nine of the Tiger
hits were gained from Hildebrand,
who was evidently going very badly

ed from Mullin, who was pitching
merely to get into shape for the open
ing day at Cleveland, and from Gov
: Tngfon. who was Wild as hawk. me
20 hits were results OF poor pitching
rather than good hitting.
Mullins apparent weakness against
the Reds need not lend Cleveland any
encouragement in the pending strug-
gle OF the opening day. George Is
the one pitcher of the Tiger squad
who pitches to win. He works hard
every game for the sake OF coping
the contest. 1t hurts him TO lose. II
he was really weak yesterday IL VIII

Those two errors OF Witt look bad
in print, but there may be ample ex-
cuse In the condition Of the held. IL
will have to be admitted, however,
that faults from this man must be ex-
pccted. Witt is along the Bush order
Of a fielding shortstop In one way.
He tries for everything, taking
chances that others would not at
tempt. He makes brilliant plays
sometimes; sometimes he falls down
on easy ones.

that he has mighty good control. HIS

Ossining, N. Y, November 26.-The
four New York gunmen, convicted of
killing Herman Rosenthal, reached
here this afternoon and were lodged
in the death house in Sing Sing in
cells near the one occupied by former
Police Lieut.. Charles Becker.
The wives of Lefty Louie" and
"Gyp the Blood" and a sister of
Whitley" Lewis were permitted to
walk with their relatives from the
train to the prison. Sheriff Hamburger
and a heavy guard of deputies es-
corted the gunmen and hundreds Of
4Ossining people joined the process
sion. When given over to the warden
each of the gunmen shook hands with
Sheriff Hamburger. Each promised to
call on him in New York "as soon as
we are released" they said.
The four men filled the last vacant
cells in the death house, where there
are now seventeen men awaiting cleo
trocution. They are not on the same
tier with Becker, but can talk to him
if they wish, as words spoken in an
ordinary conversational tone can be
heard throughout the death house.

men convicted of the murder of Her
man Rosenthal, were sentenced by
Justice Golf today to die in the cleo
trio chair at the Sing Sing during the
week of January 9Th.
Each of the prisoners was sem
fenced separately and in each case
Charles G. F. Wahle, their counsel,
moved that the verdict be set aside
and the judgment be arrested. Each
motion Justice Golf successively de-

Wahle's motion was that the verdict
was the result of passion, prejudice
and other influences"
None of the condemned men gave
any visible sign of his feelings. Ac-
companied by Sheriff Hamburger and
twelve deputies, the four were forced
through big silent crowd outside the
Criminal Courts building, thrust into
the prison van and taken to the Grand

SAY TILLMAN WASl
DRUNK THIS MONTH
New Affidavits Cause Post
ponement of Habeas Cor
pus Proceedings - Wife
Says She is Not Likely to
Remarry Since Joining
Catholic Church.

Columbia, Nov 26.-Affidavits in
troduced before the supreme court
today by attorneys for Mrs. Lucy
Dugas to the effect that B. R. Tillman,
Jr, had been drunk within the last
6O days caused a postmonement of
the final hearing of the habeas cor
pus proceedings brought by Mr.. Till
man to gain possession of Douschka
Pickens Tillman and Sarah Starke
Tillman from Mrs. Lucy Dugas, for
merly Mrs. B. R. Tillman, Jr. The
hearing of the case will be resumed
next Monday morning in the su
preme court room, according to "a
ruling by Chief Justice Gary.
The main contention in the petition
OF b. K. Tillman, Jr., for a writ of
habeas corpus was that he had been
leading sober and Industrious life
during the past four years and that
he was competent to care for the chill
dren. In the answer of Mrs. Dugas
it was alleged that Tillman had been
drunk within the past 60 days. Sew
eral affidavits from citizens of Edge
field were introduced to this effect.
Important Point.
Following the introduction of this
testimony, Henry Tillman, attorney
for his brother, asked the court for
time in which to refuteAthe charges
made. He contended that the point
was most important, in that it in
volved the capability of B. R. Till
man, Jr., to care fo rthe children and
also his character. He also said that
there were several other matters to
which the petitioners desire to make
answr.
DePass & DePass, attorneys for
Mrs. Dugas, contended that the well
fare of the children was the para
mount issue and that they were will
ing to withdraw the afidavits. The
count held that time should be given
to answer the xiaidisvisss and tina final
hearing was postponed until next
Monday morning.
Furnished Voluntarily.
"The affidavits relatives to the con.
dltlon were furnished voluntarily and
were submitted to the court for what
they were worth, and we are will
ing for them to be withdrawn" said
Mr.. DePass.
The attorney for Mr.. Tillman OBJ
jected to the withdrawal of the af-
fidavits. owe want to clear the
charges made. 1t goes to the very
foundation of this case" said Henry
Tillman.
The hearing was held today in the
supreme court room at the state
house. There was large attendance.
Mrs. Dugas, accompanied by her two
children, arrived at the court room
shortly before 10 o'clock. She was
accompanied by several friends. She
was represented in the court by De-
Pass & DePass, of Columbia, and s.
MEG Simpkins, of Edgefeld. B. +.
Tillman, Jr., was present in the court
room. He was represented by his
brother, Henry Tillmans of Green,

was in charge of the Farmer and
Planter. Mrs. Stokes moved to Char
lotte from Union,. S. c., about 1s
years ago. Captain Stokes, her hus-
band, died in December, 1898.
The deceased was a member: of the
Church of the Holy Comforter, Dill
worth, and nnch of her interest IN
her declining years centered about
the church to which she was great
ly devoted.
The hour for the funeral exercises

South Boulevard. Rev. Francis M. Os-
borne, rector of the Church of the
Holy Comforter, will conduct the fun
