simian Takes Revenge.

Philadelphia - Around an organ
grinder and a diminutive monkey a
group of little boys M girls gathered
on Girard avenue, near Tenth street.
AS the strains of "Everybody's DOM
1t" foated through the neighborhood,
pennies were thrown from windows,
and a man laughingly thrust a dime
into the simian's paw.
All went we'll until some person cast
a edhot penny from a window to the
monkey as it tugged at the collar that
grippcd it's neck. With a Shrek OF dis
tress the monkey dropped the piece OF
hot metal and rubbed one paw upon the
red jacket that covered its body.
Then it jerked itself free from the
hold the organ grinder had upon the
rope attached to the collar. With shrill
cries 1t leaped at he nearest boy.
James A. Junior, 1905 Ogden street,
and fastened it's teeth in its throat.
Two men beat the monkey away from
the boy after the latter's neck had been
fearfully torn. The boy was taken to
the Children's Homeopathic hospital,
while the organ grinder and his mon
key were taken in charge by the police.

rendered Official spanksr.h;p.

Woodbury., N. Y.-The Rev. J.. c.
Stock. a Baptist minister Of this city,
who spanked an incorrigible 9%-year-old
girl last week. after he had taken her
to her home In Salem and invited to
do the act by her mother, has been
receiving many letters from all over
the country. Many Of these are from
children's institutions and one offers
the position as Official spanker," and
urges him to accept at once.
MI. Stock is connected with the
Children's Home society of New Jer-
sey, and takes a deep interest in the
work. The case of spanking referred
to was where the girl had run away
from her home, and the minister
found her in this city. When he tool
her home he merely told the mother
that she should spank her, and he
was told that he might do 1t, and he
did.
The letters received are from Maine
to Texas. Some are not extremely
pleasing as in one a woman writes
that shO would not sit under his
preaching after he had done such q
thing"

HERMANN FORCED TO
VOTE AGAINST REDS
Chairman of Commission
Rules That Clubs Purchase
of Players Was Illegal.

CINCINNATI, September 1O-As chair
man Of the national commission, August
Hermann was forced to vote against his
own interests in a somewhat interesting
case yesterday
Cincinnati purchased from Akron, Ohio,
of the Central League, a short time ago,
three players-Doak, Knisely and Kyle.
The management of the Reds at the time
of the purchase was under the impression
that the season Of the Central League
closed September 8. Instead it closed
September 2, and as the purchase was
executed August 10. it was held illegal
because of time limit.
Player Doak had already been released
back to the Akron club. Players knisely
and Kyle accompanying the Reds on the
eastern trip, though at present under con-
tract to Cincinnati will, like Doak, be
subject to draft September II.
The commission also corrected it's bull
letin of optional, repurchased and pur-
chased players. Under the options eXer-
cised but omitted in the former commits

KEGS get Klepfer, the spitball tosser. from

dition was brought up In the A. A. u.
and 1t was held by some that the men
should not be punished because of the
fact that the Catholic Athletic League Is
an allied body with the Amateur Ath-
letic Union. Mr.. Meany, one of the
held that the situation was very compli-
Gated, and that the boys should not be
punished. A letter from James E. Sulli-
van. secretary-treasurer of the A. A. T.,
would seen to substantiate his claim.
The letter follows:
New York City, September 5. 1912.
Mr.. Thomas Cornelius. Baltimore. Md.
Dear Sir: Your communication has been
received. and I have read the statement
of Secretary Weber and President Sui
1ivan of the c. Y. NJ. N. T.. of Washing
ton. d. c.
They don't understand the situation at
all. and are placing a false construction
on the terms of alliance and rules of the
Catholic League.
Under the terms Of alliance. all athletic
meetings of the Catholic Athletic League
are open meetings. and its athletes must
be registered in the A. A. o.. through
the c. A. L.. and an athlete must COM
pete as registered in open games.
Therefore, If an athlete in Baltimore
or Washington has registered with you
for club he cannot then compete in the
C. A. L. for a Catholic club. / am some
what surprised that Mr.. Weber quotes
the legislative committee in connection
with groups.
The group idea is for each association,
and if the c. A. l. desires to cancel or
have Cancelled the present alliance and
comes in each as a group, then it would
be different.
They cannot have the privilege and then
ask to be divided into groups. unless they
dissolve.
In all athletic meetings sanctioned by
the A. A. u. as open meetings for the
Catholic Athletic League the men must
compete as registered.
Personally, / think 1t would be much
better If the Catholic Athletic League
would adopt the group plan and come in,
! each association as a member. and not as
an allied member. Yours truly,
(Signed) JAMES F.. SULLIVAN,
Secretary-Treasurer.

Americans favor. Welsh is already in

LIKES WALTER JOHNSON.
New York Writer Says Pitcher Will
Make Nationals Dangerous in '13.

John B. Foster. in the New York Tele-
gram, says:
Owing to the success which the Wash.
fngton club has had this year, it is the
opinion of many that the team will be a
more dangerous factor for the champion
ship of the American League in 1913 than
it has been in 1912.
This is the first season in which Wash
ington has been a boardwalk promenader
in the junior organization. Heretofore
the, Washingtons have travelled along the
side streets. peeping out now and then to
watch the big show.
Griffith has team which is composed
Of some very good material, some aver
age material, and no material which is
really bad. If he is able to hit up a
little strength in one or two positions be-
tween now and the beginning of the next
season he may enter the fight in the
spring with formidable aggregation.
Another fact to be considered in re-
gard to the chances of the Washingtons
next year is that the team will not start
with mild curiosity as to its future. The
players have found that they can win.
and il they get good training season
they are likely to step out in front at the
drop of the hat and make everybody
come to them.
johnson will probably be assisted by a
better pitching corps than operated with
him this year. and that is going to add to
the success of the team. If Johnson had
running mate who was the same type
as himself the Washingtons might have
won the championship this year, in spite
of the fact that they were outplayed in
some other departments of the field.
Their defense would have been SO
strong that their ability to make two OF
three runs to a game. or perhaps even a
better margin than that. would have
pushed them out in 'front.'
