COMPLETES
 TRIPLE TRAGEDY.

Brockton, Mass, Aug. 12.-stephen Kostoff, aged p. a barber, shot and killed his pretty 177year cd wife, Helen and their baby, Arthur, aged months this morning, at the home of his father-in-law, John W. Gillis, of 28O Torrey street, this city. then, turned the revolver on himself, ending his life with bullet and completing a triple tragedy.
 Jealousy is said to have been the cause. Kostoff was a Bulgarian and had been in Brockton for a few years. His domestic relations were not plea sant. it is alleged, and hes brooded over it. though the parents of the dead girl wife say the barber's suspicious were wholly without foundation
 He was in Providence, Sunday, and on his return he and his wife went downtown for trolley ride. They seemed to like lovers again.
 The tragedy was in the early morn ing, while Kostoff was preparing for work. He used a 32 calibre revolver and apparently had taken no chances. He first killed his wife, then the ba- by, ,Vand then himself, before the oth- CT tenants of the house, who were by the shots, could interfere.

SENATOR'S TOO : . MUCH FOR LOCALS
 IN SAD CONTEST
lBy Wagner.l


 The only thing that kept the multi tude from bursting into tears at yes terfay's game was the fact that the managem ent sent Johnny Barron in to pitch after Freddy Gibbs had been knocked out in the first by Hartford. Even if the Senators won by II to .4, the fans were satisfied because they saw Barron go in there and show some stuff.
 Barron had poor control, due to the fact that he hasn't worked in six weeks, but he became Steadier as the game progressed and with good sup port only two runs would have been scored while he was on the hill. He allowed six hits, passed three and famed four. In the sixth he whiffed Lundgren, Kauff and Warmer. Bar ron isn't a wonder yet. He has a lot to learn, but he looks promising and by next season should be a cap
 The. Senators greeted Freddy Gibbs warmly. Benny Kauff knocked the second ball pitched to right for a homer and four other ,swats were made while another hurler was warming up. Gibbs also passed two in this round. Pete Wilson was taken out in the second by Manager Con- nery of the Senators. The southpaw had no control and Hartford would have been in the same fix as Bridge port if Wilson hadn't braced and famed Bridges with two on the paths in the opener. Carl Lundgren, the former Chicago Cub, took wilson's place in the second and held the locals we'll i'm hand.
 Buck venable led the boys with the hickory with a triple and single. Bak- CT and Bridges had two singles each The fielding of the Mechanics was very much to the Shoulder Steak league. The details of the crime:

TESREAU WILL
 HELP GIANTS ON
 LAST LAP OF RACE

All things considered Jeff Tesreau has pitched ball of good and consis- tent Quaity for the Giants for over a
 month and therein lies encourageme ent
 for the Giants for the rest of the sea-
 son. In only one of the games in
 which Tesreau was taken out of the
 box in the month specified was it be- cause he was being hit hard The other times were because it twas ad- visable to put in pinch hitter: The Giants weren't able to make many runs behind the big pitcher, but he has been doing his part we'll, as a review of his games will show.
 Beginning on July 1, Tesreaus was supplanted by Ames in game with Boston, but the total hits of the Bos- tons was only eight. and the Giants won the game. Tesreau pitched part of a game against Brooklyn on July after the Superhas had knocked Mathewson out of the box His next game was in Chicago on July 8, when he did admifa ble work after the Cubs had disposed of Marquard. That was the game which marked Marquardls first defeat. Tesreau relieved Ames in Chicago on July 10, again doing ex- pinch hitter The Cubs made a total of only five hits in the game
 Tesreau faced the Cubs in Chicago again on July Is. was opposed to Law ender and lost his game although only seven hits were made off him. The Giants made only one run that day and the Cubs three tallies beat them. On Juy 0, in Pittsburg, the Giants beat the Pirates to 1, Tesreau pitch ing the first eight innings and Mathew son the last. Three hits were all the Pirates amassed and Tesreau was taken out only to allow a pinch hit ter to go in The Reds treated .him, harshly on July 24
 The Cubs made only six hits in sev en innings off Tesreau on July 29 and earned only one run off him. That was the game they won because of a New York, batted ball hitting the um- pire and Murray letting a ball roll be- tween his legs. On August Tesreau

PLAYERS NEED GRIT TO
 GET BY IN BIG LEAGUE


 Billy Murray, manager of the 1903 pennant- winning Jersey City team and present chief scout of the Pitts burgh Pirates. mourns the fact that so many ball tossers fail to make good because they lack assurance.
 They are all right when among friends, but let them encounter strange territory and people. then they seem half scared to death, meek supplicants, .inntead of energetic war riors The boy able to hold his own in a test of badinage has sure advantage over the quiet, dreamy youth. Nothing helps more on a league trial than lot of nerve. 4e,
 .tIt takes a boy with spunk and spirit to make good in the big show" said Murray. "Give me the kid who isn't abashed or taken aback at the quips thrown at him by veterans and others, and if he has any athletic abil- ity he will stand a much better chance of keeping up to the pace than the minor leaguer who is excel lent in his company, but scared at the tall buildings on the major league circuit"

KNABE MAY BE NEXT MANAGER
 FOR CINCINNATI

Philadelphia, Aug 12--F. Otto Knabe,. the brainworker of the Phil Hes infield, will become manager of the Cincinnati Reds if President Fo- gel will give his consent to a trade.
 Colonel Max F1eischman.i an official of the Cincinnati Club, came to Phil adelpflia Saturday and conferred with President Fogel in an attempt to ar range some sort of g. deal by which Knabe could be obtained for the Reds. It is said that the Quaker second sacker would be put in charge of the team immediately if the deal could be put through
 Cincinnati, through President Herr mann, has made an offer of three players-a pitcher, infielder and out fielder-fors Knabe. The, Redst would give the Quakers a catcher, too. if they could obtain the. man they think can give a winning team to Cincin- na.tf
 Egans, second baseman; Mitchell, outfielder, and Fromme or Benton, pitchers, would willingly be handed to the Phillies by Cincinnati for Knane. But President Fogel has held out for Sweeney, the slugging second -sacker of the Boston Braves. Unless the Quakers get Sweeney to take Knabe's place, Fogel says. there will be no trade.

When it comes to stealing bases there appears to be only one real, si-
 mon pure greyhound, he being Milan. He has stolen sixty-ohe bases and. the nearest to him in either league is Eddie Collins, with forty-onv.
 One of the most successful instances of pitcher dropping into the minors and then returning to the elite set is that of Jean Dubuc. He has been a big factor in what measure of success the Detroits have gained this year.
 The Bostons pummelled the pea hard enough to beat the Cubs twice and might have done so but for the trif- ling fact that the Cubs biffed it still harder. In Fridays and Saturdays games total of sixty hits was made. e Speaking of control, was there ever a pitcher better than Christy Mathew son or his equal? In the last fifty four innings the New York wizard has pitched, the ffty-four innings rep resenting seven games. he has given only two bases on balls.
 The 1911 pennant was hoisted at the Polo Grounds today The pennant was raised at .2:45, with Mayor Gay nor taking part in the ceremonies, which included a parade across the field by players and a band.
 There has been talk of Thorpe, the great Indian athlete, joining the pro- feSsional baseball ranks. The Pitts burg club has been after him. Glen Warner, the Carlisle coach, who knows Thorpes capabilities better than any body, else, says: "I don't think Thorpe could jump in at once and make good in the big leagues, but I do think that in a year or two he would develop into crack ball player

The servant-girl problem, which haA ever offered opportunities for comedy. figures largely in the play. The com
 muters are suburbanites ofythe newly welded type, with sprinkiing of one or more couples who have celebrated their tin wedding. Briefly, the story is as follows:
 Larry Brice, who is being scored by his wife at the breakfast table because he had not returned from the city until the milk man was making his early morning rounds, uses the old excuse that a friend of his named Sammy Fletcher made him miss his train. He learns later that his friend Sammy is sleeping peacefully in room upstairs, Mrs. Brice expresses her hatred of Sammy and Larry fearing meeting between the two would prove disas- trous. plans to get Sammy away as soon as possible. Just then the train is heard in the distance and Larry makes a mad run to catch it, leaving Sammy who has just appeared in the doorway, with full dress suit wrapped around him and his ewes showing the effects of the .revelries of the night be- fore, to explain matters sto Mrs fBriee whom he has never seen before.
 The second act shows a meeting of some country suffra gettes in the Brice home and a lecturer is explaining to her earnest listeners the right way to

Brice prevents the policeman from arresting Sammy as a bulglar In the third act Mrs Brice turns theei nafH eEd ons EfIer husband by pretending to stay out until ? o'clock in the morning. The husband wor- ried over his vife's unusual absence is stricken with renorse and when she comes into the room he accuses her of being in love with another man. The fourth act takes place on the front porch where explanations are being demanded by the indignant husbHN4 as to the cause of her EzeepsnG E4eh late hours. Mrs. Brice uncensc-ss< admits that she has not been, oStt of the house at all. When the curtain drops MT. and Mrs. Brice are on their way to church to attend the Sunday services and Sammy is mak- ing bee line for the train yelling Broadway for mine.''
