on the ball in an effort to neutraliZe
Lavender's splitter. Charley Doom of the
Phillies was banished from the grounds
yesterday and the ball in question taken
as Exhibit A for an investigation by
President Lynch of the National League.
The trouble occurred in the third inning.

Doom carefully, and when ball was
fouled Off toward the Philadelphia bench
and retrieved by Doom, who was not
playing. Chance made the charge openly.
Doom held the ball longer than Rigler
thought necessary, and the umpire, who
Is well versed in chemistry himself, de-
tected odors which strengthened his belief
in the theory that Doom was working
his old game.
From the start of the game Lavender
complained to Chance that something was
the matter with several balls which had
been retrieved after being fouled Off His
lips and fingers were burned in the same
manner in which O'Toole suffered a week

GERMANS ARE IN BATTLE
AGAINST THE OIL TRUST
Deutsche Bank Asks That It's Con.
tract With the Standard
Be Declared Void.
Special Cablegram to The Star.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
BERLIN, July 2O.-German indepen-
dents who have been battling with the
Standard Oil Company have received help
from an unexpected quarter through the
action Of the Deutsche Bank. which Is
now asking the courts to declare void its
contract with the German-American Pc
troleum Company, the Standard Oil Ger
man branch.
In 1907 the bank, which was conducting
a German petroleum sales company as
an industrial venture, entered into q
pany regulating the conduct OF the oil
business in Germany. This contract will
not expire until 1917. but the sales COM
pany has abruptly refused to be longer
bound thereby. and asks that the con-
tract be nLlltf1ed on the ground that its
provisions are contrary to public policy.
Explanatory of its late decision to re-
fuse to be longer bound by the contract
Standard Oil Is now attempting to read
conditions into the contract WHICH were
never contemplated, and which would
eventually result in placing the Germans
absolutely in the Americans power as
well as utterly crippling the local oil In
dustry.
The Standard Oil and the sales COM
pany together control some S5 per cent
of Germany's oil trade. and about 15 per
cent of all the oil used comes from
American fields. This naturally gives the
Standard Oil tremendous foothold, and
the Germans charge that this power has
been most unscrupulously used, with the
alleged result that the wholesale oil
business in Germany is already utterly
wiped out and that retailers are facing
extinction.
An important North German retail oil
company only last week transferred its
business to a new corporation, which
turns out to be Standard Oil branch.
The Deutsche Bank. as the representa-
tive of the German oil interests. may
therefore be regarded, whatever its ,Li-
terror purpose or compelling motive. as
fighting the battle of the combined Ger
man groups Additional interest is lent
to the contest by the fact that the GOV
ernment Is known to have been long con-
sidering the creation of a petroleum mo-
noroly. The Standard OILS opponents
argue that the government will find itself
terribly handicapped in this effort if it
waits until the Standard OIL Company
fills Germany with subsidiary companies
operating under many names

,, ment denying the graft charges brought

he says he went to Charleston between

from the tigers O;quor sellers, for his
(Blease's) campaign expenses. He says
the statement that he is getting graft
from the Charleston blind tigers origi-
mated with Mayor Grace OF that city,
owing to the governors refusal to allow
Grace to control the consta bulary there.

money for his signature to the interurban
railway act or chat he knew of any plans
to buy a pardon for Gus De Ford or
any one else. and says not one word
about it had been said to him by Nichols.

AS to the pardon for +. W. Bentley,
the governor denies that he received pay
for it's issuance. He says a check for

Benteys railroad fare to his home in
Iowa, but that no other money figured
in the transa ction.
He presents an affidavit from H. II.
Evans to the effect that he has never
had any transaction with Blease as to

TO AID WESTERN ROWING.
Eastern Visit Of Stanford Crew
Should Have Good Effect.

NEW YORK. July 20.--The visit of the
Leland Stanford crew to Poughkeepsie
this year has apparently gone a long
way toward booming rowing in the west.
The latest suggestion IL that the crews
of the east go west next year after the
intercollegiate regatta on the Hudson
and compete with the western eights in
a special regatta during the Panama-Pa-
cific exposition in San Francisco.
Since this suggestion comes from the
Stanford oarsmen themselves, it indicates
that the impression they formed of col
lege rowing in this part of the country
went deep. Even before they left their
quarters up the Hudson the Californians
talked over the scheme Informally with
the rival college eights. While nothing
definite was decided. the men from Palo
Alto succeeded In arousing good deal Of
real interest in their plan among the
oarsmen of the east. and 1t Is not likely
that the matter will be dropped either
here or on the coast.
