Interest in the race for the woman's

Boarded Train;
All Trace Lost.

From the packing Of her trunks for
a trip to California Miss Snodgrass
stepped to a train, rolled out of the
Grand Central station. and all trace of
her has since been lost.
Since she came from Martinsburg. w.
Va. five years ago she has made her
home with her sister. Mrs. John L.
Crider whose husband is chief en-
gineer of the newly completed Boston,
Westchester and Mt Vernon railroad.
On her twenty fifth birthday last Oc-
tober she entered the training school
for nurses in Mt. Vernon. She sought
to become nurse, not for want of
money, for she was comfortably sit
uated. but from sheer love of nursing
and desire to know something of
medicine. Her success was marked.

Services Will Be
Wanted Elsewhere.

Getting rid of the local manager will
be an easy matter His wonderful bat
ting this year and his known ability
will make the demand for him strong,
and he can unquestionably be placed in
the American association or the East
ern league. In this case it will not be
necessary to waive him out of the
league-a thing that could hardly be
done-but he can be sold direct without
offering him to any Southern league
club. A player of Hemphill's ability
should be worth $4,000 on any baseball
market,
1t, of course. will be necessary to Sc
cure an outfielder in Hemphil's place.
"Chug" Coombs. who was secured from
Spartanburg, has just been turned back
to that club and is not available. How
ever, there probably will be no trouble
in picking up fair outfielder from the
big leagues somewhere.

"CharIey" Recalled to Atlanta
to "TaIk Things Over"
With the Boss.
ALPERMAN Is IN CHARGE
OF TEAM TEMPORARILY
"Hemp" Had Been Warned to
Make Team Play Ball or
Give Up Reins.

Taking advantage of its inalienable
right-the recall-the Atlanta Baseball
association has temporarily deposed
Charles j. Hemphill as manager of the
Atlanta ball club, and has temporarily
made Charles A. Alperman manager OF
the club.
Last night Hemphill was ordered to
turn his club over to Alperman and to
return to Atlanta. He did so and will
be in town today. AS soon as he ar
rives he will be called into session with
the directors of the local association.
That this session will mean his dis
missal is virtually certainty
That Alperman will be made perma-
nent manager is not so certain 1t is
felt that the Cracker club needs a firm
hand to guide it. Whether Alperman
can hold the truly great team in line
and make it play ball is the question
that the Atlanta Baseball association
must decide in a few days. In the
meantime, Whitley" will have absolute
~ free rein with the club, and perhaps
can demonstrate his fitness to make the
Crackers play ball

Couldn t Keep
Players in Line.

The recall of Charley Hemphill has
come because the former big league
star could not keep his players in line.
An unquestioned marvel at playing
ball, a great tactician, man who I'M
derstands the game as few living men
do, he still was unable to make his club
play ball. And that finished him.
At the end of the last road trip Man.
ager HemphiI had a session with the
directors. at which time the law was
laid down They told him that he
would have TO keep himself and the
club in line or drop out for somebody
who could.
His efforts on this trip were as dis
astrous as on the previous one. In
Montgomery the situation became IN.
tolerable. The team ran entirely Wild
and something had to be done. This
something was the wire to Hemphill to
report in Atlanta at once.
It is certainty that Hemphill will
not be retained with the club as play

has not exerted an influence that was
for the best. and he will unquestionably

Gangster implicated by Gossip
Surrenders Himself VoIun-

NEW YORK, July 23,-Just
week ago today Herman Rosen-
thai, gambler, who had charged
the police with levying tribute
upon lawbreakers, was shot to
death in front of the Metropole
hotel, but his actual slayers are
still at large, though number of
policemen were only short dis
tance away at the time. The be-
lief is generally growing that the
actual assassins will never be cap
tured unless run down by private
endeavor.
There was another arrest in the case
today, but 1t was made only when a
man whom the police had confessed
themselves unable to find surrendered
himself The latest prisoner is Harry
WALTON. who has been frequently men
toned as a member of the gambling
coterie that Rosenthal had embittered
by his revelations
He drove up to police headquarters
at l o'clock this morning and gave
his name to the lieutenant and was
escorted to the Mulberry street police
station. There he was booked as "Har-
ry WALTON, 35 years old, clerk-suspi-
cious person"

GUS ways in gossip about the crime He
Is said to have been a go between for
the police and gamblers below Four
teenth street One report is that he
was in the gray automobile when it
stopped in front of the Metropole. An
other is that he was in it earlier in
the evening with Jack Rose. Still
another is that he it was who called
Boob Walker and man named
Hickey from a table at which they
were talking to Rosenthal in the Metro
pole just before the shooting. But the
only charge against him now is being a
suspicious person. WALTON is one of
the men. the police announced they
were very anxious to get. Others are:
Dago Frank, notorious gunman and
East Side gangster; Harry Hourritz,
alias Glib The Blood who has been
notorious character for several years
and an uptown lieutenant of Jack Selig,
the gang leader.
