DIXIE WALKER FINED
Dunn Also Asks Waivers on
the Former Senator.
PITCHER HAS GONE BACK
0riole Magnate Can't Understand
Dixie's Trouble, and May
Retain Him.
PITCHER HAS GONE BACK

BALTIMORE. August 1.-Once again
Jack Dunn is on the warpath and things
are humming in the Oriole camp at Buff
falo. One player has been added to the
hospital list and another is about to lose
his job.
Freddie Payne. one of the most con-
scientious and reliable men on the team,
has broken thumb, while Dixie Walker
is about to lose his head. Walker also
lost 500 yesterday, when Dunn fined him
that amount for failing to cover first
base. Waivers have been asked on the
big pitcher, and it is more than likely
that tie Oriole magnate will request
Walkers uniform.
The loss of Payne drives Dunn to the
market for catcher Fred got the thumb
Of his right hand in the way of foul
tip in the seventh inning Of the second
tire. 1t is probable that Payne will be
sent home to keep Jake Gettman COM
pany, for he will not be able to play
again fer some time. and perhaps not
until toward the close of the season.
Walker trouble also came in the sew
enth session. There were three men on
the sacks and no one out when Truesdale
hit between first and second bases.
Schmidt made dandy stop of the
grounder, and would have had the batter
at first had Walker covered. But Walker
stood in the box watching the play and
Schmidt was forced to race to the bag
and slide. Even then Truesdale was only
safe by the slightest margin, and Dunn
became hot under the collar. He told
Walker what he thought of such care
lessness and then fined him S1UO.
Dunn figures the Birds would have won
the second game had it not been for the
negligence of Walker for 1t was In that
inning that the Bisons scored five runs.
While waivers have been asked on Walk
er he may or may not be let out. 1t
might be a mistake for Dunn to let the
big fellow go at this stage of the race.
Should Walker pay attention to his busi-
ness he would be a bad man to drop into
the Bronchos' corral. Camel is seeking
pitchers and he might grab up Walker.
The reversal of form shown by Walker
is hard to understand. When he came to
Baltimore from Washington he looked like
a world beater. His first four starts
caused the fans to warm up to him and
give all the encouragement a player could
desire. But suddenly Walker hit the to-
boggan and he has been sliding down at
a terrific rate Whether he Is Indifferent
or not in proper physical condition is
hard to say. but something is ma terra ly
wrong. Dunn felt that Dixie was merely
lobbing the ball up to the batters yester-
day.

Ward resigning as president Of the or
ganization after disposing of his inter-
est.
Both Gaffney and Ward were at the
Polo Grounds yesterday and all Mr..
Ward had to say was that he had sold

by Mr.. Carroll and play the ownership
game with a lone hand. He expects to
go to Boston shortly and will become the
president of the club.

enth hour he and Messrs. Gaffney and

where 1t has stuck fast 1t is understood
that Ward and Gaffney did not agree on

had built up extensively prior to becom-
ing a magnate.

GREAT WORK BY STANLEY.
Former 0riole Southpaw Fans Fiji
teen of Trenton Batters.

ATLANTIC CITY. y. J., August L.
Southpaw Leonard Stanley OF Washing
ton. and several seasons ago a member
of the Baltimore Orioles. created a Trf-
state League record yesterday afternoon
when he pitched Atlantic City to a 1-to-0
victory over Trenton. the present lead
ers in the race for the pennant. Stanley
famed fifteen batters. had perfect con-
troll. and was tapped safely only thrice.
Mart Whitney, a former Bird, and Bill
Clay. who at one time sojourned in Bal
timore, two of the chief clouters in the
league, were whitfield on each OF their
four attempts at the plate.
Stanley's twirling was the best seen at
the Inlet in years and was much appreci-
ated. especially by a large number OF
Baltimoreans who witnessed the contest.
Staniey's form with the local club OF late
has been of the highest order, and il will
not be astonishing to Atlantic City fans

and he wound up his turn with the
shadow boxing bout in which he knocks
himself out. Schaefer acts referee OF
this bout and after Altrock has been
counted out carries him to the bench.
Schaefer however. did not get much of a
chance to cut up on the lines yesterday,
for he aroused the ire of Umpire Hart
with some remarks and was promptly
ushered to the bench for the remainder
of the day.
The Tigers had scored twice before the
Nationals had neared the plate. Cashion
was liberal in the third and presented his
opponents with run. After he had dis
posed of the first man to face HIM he
walked Bush Cobb's out put him on sec
ond and then Cashion unwound two
wild pitches, which scored the dim'nu-
tive shortstop of the Tigers. Cashion
had been in trouble in the first inn .ng,
but worked his way out of it cleverly.
Baschang opened with a single and Bush
beat out slow one to Mcbride. Cash
ion then famed Cobb. and Crawford
forced Bush at second He walked Lou
den. filling the bases. but Moriarty pop
ped up and the round was over
Though Moeller hunted safely and
reached third on two steals in the Ma
tionals half, Foster and Milan struck
out and Moeller was caught trying to
steal home.
There was another opportunity for
runs in the third. but the necessary hit
did not materalize. Shanks opened with
a safety and after Cash'on and Moeller
had been retired Foster was walked, but
Milans sharp grounder was right at
Moriarty and the side was out.
Cashion gave a splendid exhibition of
pitching in the fifth. though the Tigers
increased their lead in this inning. Stan
age opened the round with a triple along
the right field foul line Cashion, how
ever, struck out Lake and Baschang, and
then Bush brought Stanage home with a
high bounder over Cashions head, which
Morgan fielded, but could not throw.
There was a chance to tie at least the
score in the sixth, but Milan fooled that
away. MOeller started out by hitting
safely and Foster followed suit. Milan
forced Foster. and with Gandil at bat. al
lowed himself to be caught off first
Gandil then tripled to right and Moeller
scored. but Morgan was not able to bring
him home. That was the Nationals only
run. and. aside from hits made by Nc
Bride and Moeller. not another one of the
visitors reached first base.
The two runs which virtually cinched
the game for the Tigers came i'm the
seventh. With one out Lake hit over the
left field fence Baschang was walked

third when Ainsmith threw poorly trying
to catch him mapping. He scored when

west extension.
A considerable number of letters,
resolutions, etc. for and against the
proposed west extension of the Una
tila reclamation project have been
received by this department, and all
of them will be given due considera-

The data collected by field surveys
made in 1911 will be considered on
the ground by a board of engineers
who will make definite recommended
tions as to whether the proposed ex-
tension should be undertaken by the
reclamation service and if so as to
the scope and method of the work.
They will also, if requested, hear
whatever arguments for or against
the project the citizens or organiza-
tions of citizens in the locality may
desire to present.
The adjudication of existing water
rights is no part of their duties but
it is a matter primarily for the de-
cision of the state authorities. Upon
receipt of the report made by this
board of engineers final decision will
be made by the department.

Flesh Leads to Find.

zSeattle, Wash, Jan. 24.-The body
of a young man. chopped in two, the
legs amputated and stuffed in a
trunk, was found in a trunk at the
King street railroad STATEN today.
The trunk was received December
21 from Portland and was being
held for presentation of a duplicate

flesh led to the opening of the trunk.
The Portland police have been no.

The trunk this morning weighed
175 pounds, indicating that the man
weighed about 135 pounds. His face
was smooth shaven and brown
derby was showed over the face. His
hands indicated that the man follow

COUNTIES SHOW IS
SWEEPSTAKE EVENT Says JUDGE MILLER

Fulfilling their boast that their
show this year would be the quality
show of the northwest, members of
the Umatilla- Morrow County Poultry
association are taking great pride in
the statement made by Judge Miller
Purvis that the show is a sweep
stake exhibition" He characterized
it thus because of the fact that the
entries include sweepstake and cup
winners from a number of other
shows held in the northwest The
best chickens from the oregon state

Walla and Roseburg shows are COM
citing here and the seven birds be-
longing to f. II. Rosengranz of Col

to claim their share of honors.
Because of the large number OF
almost perfect birds entered, the
competition this year is unusually
close and the judge is having great
difficulty in his work. Among the
barred Rocks, Black Minorcas
White Leghorns and Buff Orpingtons
the competition is unusually close
evidenced by the fact that E. F
Averill of this city won the cup FOL

Lawyer and Publicist, After Years OF
Investigation Announces Unearth-
ing of Astounding Proof of judicial
Perversion.

New York, Jan. 24.-Red hot de-
nunciation of American justice and
courts, which he delares are the last
bulwark of trusts, are voiced In an
article of C. p. Connolly, lawyer and
publicist, which appeared in Every
bodys magazine.
He relates specific miscarriages OF
Justice and freely names men high IN
commercial life. He says he is pre-
pared to "prove that big business In
terests retreated into courts, going to
make a last stand behind the ju-
dietary"
Connolly practiced law in Butte,
Montana, in 1884. He says that In
Butte he say party conventions pack
ed and Judges named in the interests
OF the largest litigant in the state.
"These judges" he says, read de-
cisions which We're bought and paid
for in the market place"
'While we have been giving to the
Judges reverence that men once gave
TO kings, forces that corrupt every
other branch of public life have been
no more reverent to the judges than
TO aldermen" writes Connolly
'While we worshiped them they were
corrupted.
"My Investigations have carried me
into practically every state of the
union; into both state and federal
court records. AS a result / have

DISTRICT ATTORNEY

Frederick Steiwer, well known
Young Pendleton lawyer and j. Z.
Neil. member of the bar at Freewater
will be pitted against each other for
the republican nomination for dist
rict attorney If present signs hold
good.
That both men are in the race Tor
s p, Van Vactors job has been ru-
mored more or less &or some weeks
mast and the reports arise from the
fact both men have been taking
soundings" to ascertain the situation,
Neil was in the city yesterday and
while here took occasion to look over
his fences.
Thus far Steiwer has been making
no open effort in behalf OF his can
didacy and he says he does not care
to formally announce himself at this
time. However he frankly states he
is liable to be in the running at the
primary election in April and II ne
runs he will go in to win.
In the event he makes the race 1t
Is more than probable that Steiwer
will point to his services as deputy
district attorney and to his residence
in Pendleton as among the reasons
why he should be ELECTED. He serv-
ed for time as deputy under G. w
Phelps before that official was made
Judge and Steiwer also continued In
the position after the appointment OF
Van vactor to fill the unexpired
term.
AS to whether or not he will seek
the democratic nomination Mr.. Var
Vactor has yet made no statement
Neither is there any other member
of the minority party who seems an
xious to enter the race.
