battle of wits in which Cobb EAR out the victor. Adams committed the
bunder of trying to make Cobb bite O wide ones and in this way put him
self In a hole That was just what Cobb vented. Adams had three and
two O. the batter and Cobb bided his time, well knowing the young pitcher
must serve up d good ball and take a chance. ~
Over the plate came the next offering of the dimtnutive pitcher and Cobb
swung at the ball, meeting it with a resoundng thud that told OF a possible
complete circuit hit. The feet Cobb dashed to first and started for second
and Jones and Bush romped toward home.
Out into deep right center sped the ball and at the crack OF the bat
Tommy Leach was headed in the same direction. All eyes in the park were
riyeted on the Pirate outfeder as he darted after the hard hit liner. There
was only one chance Il a hundred of his stopping that drive, but Leach was
taking that chance. Impened by the impulse that makes one do In a Crisis
what he cannot do under ordinary circumstances, he overlook the hit by a
mad burst of speed, gripping the ball securely amid cheering that spoke
eloquenty OF the merits of his wonderful exploit.
Had Leach failed in that crisis Cobb would have tied the score with a
chance to win the game and thus undoubtedly have given the Junglepand a
worlds flag that afterwards went to the Pirates.

DEVoRE'S GREAT CATCH THAT CAUGHT
A REMNANT

- F ALL the stars that shone brightly in the National league pennant
race of 1911 and githred brilliantly in McGraw's attempt to wrest a
worlds crown from Connie Mack, there's none that surpassed Josh
Devore of Terre Haute. "r
Fans marveled at the great running catches OF Devore in the
worlds series Of tina. season. No player has made a more spectacular catch

perhaps under-rated his wonderful
speed and remarkable fielding ability.
Many of these catches figured as
pennant-winning plays Of the Giants
in 1911.
Speed is Devore's greatest asset.
He is one of the few ten-second men
in the big leagues. His native ability
as a ground coverer caught the eye
Of John J. McGraw, a follower Of the
speed theory in baseball. Young Josh
was a speed boy when he was at high
school, where he won laurels on a
track team. He was just as speedy
when he played in the Cotton States
circuit in 1906 and 1907. A news
paper nan watched Devore go down
to first with a burst of speed that
amazed him one b~listering day down
in Mississippi. He tipped 1t off to

Babe Adams, the pitching hero OF
the championship, had settled down
in a slab duel with George Mullin of
the Tigers. The Pirates had tied the
score in the fourth inning amid a
great demonstration. Tiger hopes be-
gan to fade in the fifth inning when
Abstein drove a hard grounder
through D%elahanty and Cobb and
landed at third base. Detroit hopes
sank still lower when Gibson drove
the ball to right center, scoring Alb
stein. Bush fumbled Adams ground
er and Byrne was given a terrific
blow on the head, filling the basis.
Leach lifted a long fly to Jones and
Gibson scored. That put the Pirates
in the lead 8 to 1.
Then came the grand opening for
the Tigers to win the game. With
two out Jones singled and Bush
worked Adams for a pass.
Ty Cobb came up with the fate
of the series lurking in his trusty

HOME RULE POLICY
FOR BULL MOOSERS
Colonel Roosevelt Says That Each
State Must Work Out lts
Own Problems.

Oyster Bay. N Y, July 22-"H Home
rule" is to be the policy in the forma-
tion OF the national progressive party.
After long conference with leaders
from a number Of states, Colonel
Roosevelt said that each state would
work out It's own problems. He denied
there was any truth In the report that
there was serious discord among pro-
gressives in various states and in this
denial he was supported by number
of prominent leaders who were here to-
day.
II want ex-democrats and ex-repub-
licans alike" said Colonel Roosevelt.
He added that he would insist that In
no state should the new party enter
into an agreement with the republican
organization under which 1t would
bind itself to support electors who
would vote for President Taft. The
only other restriction he would i'm
pose, he said. would be that in no case
must support be thrown to state can
didates who would not support the ma.
tional progressive electors.

BISHOP PROTESTS
AGAINST SOCIALISM
Right Rev. John p. Carroll Of Montana
Tells Chicagoans It Is Econom-
cally Unsound.

Chicago, July 22.-Condemning
socialism as peril to the workingmen
of every class, especially to organized
labor, Right Rev. John P. Carroll, bish-
op Of the Roman Catholic diocese Of
Helena, Mont, Sunday issued an ap-
peal to Chicago workers to avoid what
he declared was doctrine economi-
cally unsound, false in It's pretenses
and Insulting to the intelligence OF
those who labor.
Bishop Carrolls denunciation of So
cialism came just before his departure
for Montana and was in line with the
plea he recently made before the con-
venticn Of the Ancient Order Of HI
bernians in this city.
Socialism, he said, sis unpatriotic.
It is economically unsound. 1t aims to
destroy all constituted civil authority
Its treacherous outbursts of indignar
tion against the powers lodged in the
constitution and in the judiciary, It's
attacks against leaders in civil life are
evidences of it's anarchistic aims and
purposes

JUDGE.HANF0RD
RES|GNSF FROM
FEDERAL BENCH
Seattle Jurist, Whose Con-
duct on Bench Has Been
Under Investigation, Of
fers Resignation to Taft.

Seattle, July 22.-United States Dis
trict Judge Cornelius H. Hanford,
whose conduct on the bench has been
under investigation for nearly month
by sub-committe of the house judi
ciary committee, telegraphed his resig-
ton today to President Taft,
Judge Hanford gives ill-health as the
reason for his resignation. Judge Han
ford's statement to the public follows:
'The almost constrant strain under
which have worked for more than
twenty-five years has taxed but not ex-
hausted my power Of endurance. l am
not likely to have a vacation OF rest,
but change Of occupantion which
will be welcome relief. | intend to
practice law in Seattle.
In the Investigation which has been
conducted by subcommittee OF the
house o. representatives much test1-
mony has been given by witnesses who
know me and by others who do not. l
am grateful for the comm endation of
those who have spoken and written
in my favor and as for those who have
maligned me, l only wish to say that l
would be ashamed of myself If l had
not incurred the enmity of such peO-
pie as they are.
"A Judge is never so sure Of being
right as when his work has been criti-
cized unfairly. Without boasting, in
view OF all that has been and may be-
said of and concerning myself and my
work, am glad that my record Is
what it is.'
What effect the resignation will have
on the hearind now in progress
was not stated. Expressing the
hope that their work would be con-
cluded today the members of the sub
committee of the house judiciary com.
mittee resumed their inquary into the
record Of u. 8. District Judge Han.
ford. 1t was believed the last oral
testimony would be presented before
night and the committeeman be ready
to begin consideration of the mass of
documentary evidence already in the
record.
While the range Of subjects to be
considered was not known it was
thought probable the trial Of Charles
F. Munday and those Of other Alaska
coal land operators would be probed.
In addition, 1t was said, the defense de-
sired to place before the committee
men further evidence calculated to
disprove the accusations of drunken
ness brought against Judge Hanford.
