Incendiaries and Robbers Busy at
Virginia.
Incendiaries and robbers made trip
across the city of Virginia and set fire
to Mesburg & Lavick's furniture store,
with flats above; to the State bank,
to the Duluth, Missabe and Northern
depot and to Andrew Grande's ware
house.
The Mesburg block was gutted and
occupants of three apartments had
narrow escapes, baving to grope their
way out through smoke in their night
clothes.
= The fires are, all known to be OF in
cendiary origin and were reported at
intervals of about twenty minutes. At
all the places there we're oil saturated
clothes and paper and attempts were
made in every case to break into
drawers and open safes. =.
Entrance was effected in each case
through a window. At the bank a
small amount in cash and stamps was
obtained. The robbers by mistake
locked the safe at Mesburg's store,
not knowing it was open.
The police received fake call to a
distant part of the city when the gang
was ready to operate. One man was
seen to be lighting the oiled clothing
at the Grande warehouse.

WASHINGTON Woman.

Congressman Clarence B. Miller Of
Duluth and his bride are spending
their honeymoon at Los Angeles. Their
quiet wedding came as the culmina-
ton of a romance that had its incep-
ton in the national capital, where the
congressman while attending to his
legislative duties also laid siege to the
heart of Miss Gertrude V. Pattison, a
niece of former Surgeon General
George Sternberg. F
1t was to avoid ostentatious display
and the curious eyes of a host of
friends that the couple met in Los
Angeles to speak the words that made
them husband and wife. The cere-
mony was performed without any at

still never made a single swing and
the ump had to call every pitch. In

successive strikes called on him and
then waited for four successive balls,
forcing Higgins home with a run. In
the third Jim waited for another 3-2
count and then was called out on a
strike that easily was six inches on
the inside. And 1t was the same in
the sixth and seventh. The count
reached 80, when Camnitz dished up
wide ones on each occasion and

In the mind of Callahan, an expon-
ent of inside baseball in all It's va
ried forms, Mattick had committed an
objectionable offense. He had failed
to seize upon an excellent opportunity
to get on" and boost along a rally.
Mattick, light hitting outf1elder, Cal

punishment that would stamp the er-
ror indelibly on his mind and make
him better pastlmer.

BESCHER STAR BASE RUNNER
Cincinnati Reds outfelder Not Only
Possesses Speed, but Knows
How to Use It.

Even though they have not won any
pennants, the Reds have laid claim for
several years to possessing one Ma
tional league champion, and no fan
around the circuit has disagreed with
them in the contention that Bob Bes-
cher is the best base runner IN the old
organization.
Bescher and speed are synonymous,
but mere ability to get over the ground
is not the only quality of which Bes-
cher can boast. 1t isn't always the
fastest man that steals the most bases.
Some players who can fairly fly fail to
purloin as many cushions in a season
as others whom they could easily dis
tance in a sporting contest.
Other things besides speed are need
ed, and Bescher combines them all, be.
cause he is not only fast, but has
