The statement that these four rail-

MUsCATINE WOMAN
TELLS OF WEALTH
While Dellrious Aged Woman Dis
closes Hiding Place of Saw
lngs of Life Time.

MUSCATINE, Iowa, Dec. 5.-A
romance out of real life was unfolded
at the Bellevue hospital last week
when Mrs Frank Behres, ST.. resid-
ing at 9O1 West Front street told her at
tending nurse during moments in
which she was delirious, of the hid
ing places in her residence where she
had hidden the savings of a life time.
The facts of the case have just be-
came known.
Some time ago Mrs. Behres suffer
ed paraiytic stroke. Because of her
advanced age her condition was re-
garded as critical and she was i'm
mediately removed to the hospital
Her husband who is, almost eighty
years old, in the mean time estab-
lished his residence with his son,
Frank Behres, Jr., at Ala Grandview
Avenue, South Muscatine. Yesterday
Mrs. Behres was removed from the
institution to her home and the facts
of the unusual circumstances sur
rounding her sojourn at the hospital
became known.
A considerable portion OF the time
that the aged woman was in the hos
pital, she was in a delirious state.
While in this condition on one occa-
sion, the sick woman startled her
nurse with story of hidden wealth
in her home. Little by little the I'M
conscious woman related to the nurse
OF hundreds of dollars which she had
saved during her life, always making
mention of her fear of banks. These
she never trusted it is stated, and as
consequence she boarded her little
wealth in secure places about her
residence.
The nurse acquainted relatives of
Mrs. Behres with the statements
made by the latter andrupon an inves-
tigation found more than $4,000 stor-
ed away. More than 81, 500 was found
in tin bucket in the cellar, the
bucket containing gold, silver and pa
per money. In a teapot in a kitchen
cupboard. more than 5000 was found
lin bills.

THE NATIONALS USE MANY

CHICAGO, Aug. 13-There are freak
plays and freak plays in baseball.
Two OF them which occurred within
the short space OF five days on
Comiskey park are doubly interest
ing. They belong to the unusual and
also furnish concrete refutations OF
a popular fallacy which seems TO
have no other foundation than tradi-
ton.
AS often as once fortnight during
the playing season some other player
or manager from the country or near
by prairies sends in query seeking
to know IL a team in the field is not
prohibited from using more than
three or four men in the act OF run
ming out an opponent who has been
caught between bases.
Where the idea originated cannot
be guessed. but doubtless from tradl-
ton. At least IL is from the same
source as the ideas which still per-
tain 10 the effect that batsman Is
out automatically If he fails TO run
to first base Immediately or that he
can be put out If an opponent gets
the ball and crosses first base line
ahead OF the runner without touching
him or the base.
There are sections of America
where the manner OF playing the
great national obsession and the
rules thereof are handed down from
generation TO generation by word or
mouths just as in the case OF folklore
before the stone age. In these sec
tions a rule book seems TO be an I'M
known phenomenon, and the dictum
of some veteran local authority on
the game is accepted against the
printed rules, even If the latter are
available.
Reyerting to the belief that base
runner is entitled to be declared safe
on the ground of interference II more
than three or four opponents take
part In run-out. 1t may be based on
the fact that thoroughly drilled
team OF veterans does not re4nre
more than three players 10 complete
play of that sort, and that four are
plenty to guard against any slip.
When more than half the fielders and
sometimes most OF them are drawn
into a run-out play ii is due TO mex
perience or to some slip OF the hands
or feet.

Yankees lost a possible triple play al.
ter a worse tangle. The Sox had Col
Inns on third Fournier on second and
Bodie on first, with nobody out. Weay.
or hit TO Thompson, and he tossed the
bali TO Sweeney, forcing Collins out.
Sweeney threw to first to double up
Weaver. but hit the runner In the
back. Seeing that. Bodie, who had
gone 10 second. started on the run
for third, but Gardner, who was back.
ing up first base, grabbed the ball as
n bounded of Weaver, and Kept
Fournier from going home from third.
Then the Yankees had two men trap
ped on third base, with chance TO
get one OF them surely and perhaps
both.
Gardner tossed the ball to stump,
cutting of Bodies retreat 10 second
base. and the shortstop and third
baseman, Hartzell, started to run
down Bodie. Under cover OF that
play. Fourier tried TO sneak home,
but a throw to Sweeney headed him
of. The Frenchman then gave the
Yankees a chase, so that Bodie and
Weaver, who had returned TO second
and frst In safety, could move I'D a
base apiece But the Yankees left
third base uncovered entirely and
Fournier got back there alive. Bodie
slipped past the nearest guardian OF
second base and got there safely, but
Weaver was on top of the keystone.

The Washington team. which Is
: composed of youngsters, pulled a
double play on the White Sox in the
last game of their June series in Chi
cago, In which more than half the
fielders were involved, although not
all OF those drawn into II actually
handled the ball. The Sox had Rath
on third, Lord on first, and one out.
Callahan hit TO Johnson, who headed
Rath of at the plate. and that run
ner ducked back TO give Lord and GAL
lahan time to advance an extra base
before he was retired. Johnson chased
Rath back toward third, then tossed
the ball TO Foster, who ran Rath to-
ward the plate. Now it was the play
for Johnson or Mcbride 10 take third
base as soon as Foster left II. In
stead the pitcher ran 10 the plate,
where Ainsmith was, and Mcbride
remained near second.
Foster could not catch Rath. so
passed the ball to Ainsmith, and the
catcher started running Rath back to
third Failing TO overtake the run
ner. Ainsmith made a throw toward
third, but nobody was there and Rath
landed In safety. Shanks had run in
from lelt Held clOse Dehlhu tnlIu anu
got the ball quickly. Lord hid ad-
yanced close to third and could not
gain safety at that base after Rath
returned TO il, so started back TO sec
ond with Shanks in pursuit Shanks
chased Lord and threw to Morgan at
second. whereupon Lord doubled on
his tracks and Shanks was given the
ball again. This time he tagged Lord.
While they were doing that. Rath
started home and Shanks threw 10
Ainsmith in time to double up Rath
at home. There were FIVE players in
volved in addition to Mcbride. who
was in the line between third and
second. looking for a chance to get
into the play.
