HUNTER STARS AS
AMATEUR THEsPIAN
Former Football Hero Has Big Feet
and Is Proud of 1t

A Shetland pony, an Infatuated
circus man, two star athletes and
superabundance of shoe leather were
the leading characters in a comedy
drama staged last Sunday in the
city of Pullman, and the perform
ance was greatly enjoyed by the
large audience, the fitting climax es-
pecially bringing forth rounds of APP
plause. The story of the comedy is
as follows:
Scene I.-Circus Grounds: Pony Dis
appears
The Jones Brothers circus. which
showed here Saturday afternoon and
evening, featured a company CT eight
trick Shetland ponies Shortly be-
fore the evening performance how
ever one of the smallest of the
ponies, but one of the smartest, tired
of show life and proceeded to take
things into his own hands. Bidding
a fond farewell to his circus mates,
the diminutive animal headed
straight for College hill, where he en-
joyed the green grass of the roadside
unmolested by circus hands or the
discordant notes of the lone elephant.
About 1890 Jumbo" Hunter of w.
S. G.. football fame, espied the little
animal near the Phi Epsilon frater-
nifty house, and not knowing whence
1t came or for where it was bound,
took the pony to a nearby barn and
tied Ut securely in a stall. Jumbo"
procured bounteous feed for his
protege and went to bed to sleep
secure in the knowledge that one
more act of kindness would be
chalked up to his credit for reference
when he is called upon to meet the
good st. Peter and see his books bal
anced.
Meantime the circus management
(Mr. Jones) had noticed the absence
OF his star performer and assuming
that it had been stolen, sought Mar
shal Baymiller the city sleuth, and
the two INDUCED in an untiring
search for the wanderer. The hours
passed by and the wrath of the
management grew wrathier, but
no pony was to be found, and finally,
In the wee small hours of Sunday
morning, a recess was taken until
daylight. At the first streak of the
dawn of the new day the search was
resumed, and by this time the afore-
said Mr.. Jones was sorely perplexed
and, in the parlance of the street
urchin, "fightin' mad"

Scene H.-CoIege Hill: wanderer Is
Located


The efforts of the searchers we're
soon to be rewarded, however, for
tiny tracks, not unlike those of the
pony, were discovered leading from
the circus grounds to College hill.
These tracks were followed to the
top of the hill, but were lost in the
vicinity of the Phi U. house, and the
searchers were about to give up in
despair when the happy animal gave
vent to his feelings in a vigorous
snort and was soon located in the
barn, still munching of the bount-
eous feed of new mown hay which
the kindhearted Jumbo" had placed
before him the night before. Hear
ing the voices of the searching party
Jumbo" jumped out of bed and
donned his wearing apparel, and, to-
gether with Leo Coulter, captain
elect of Johnnie Benders prospects
for 1913, went to the scene and at
tempted to explain the presence of
the trick pony. The wrath of the
management" was not so easily sub
dued, however, and as Jumbo" and
Coulter were the only people in sight,
he demanded that warrants be issued
for both of them, charging grand lar
ceny, he alleging that the animal
was worth $500.
Scene III.-City Hall: Jumbo Proves
The suspects" were taken to the
city hall and friends volunteered to
furnish the $500 required to secure
the liberty of each of them. An at
torney was employed by the pair,
and the plaintiff at once put in a
call for Prosecuting Attorney Bur-
gunder, at Colfax. About this stage
Of the game, however, the shoe
leather received its cue and all the
rest of the performers were relegated
to the background. Mr.. Jones init
mated to the throng about him that
he had observed human tracks near
those of the pony. leading from the
circus grounds to College hill and
that these would be used as evidence
against the suspects" Thereupon
Jumbo" who claims the champion
ship of the state for big feet, pro-
truded his pedal extremities, stating
that he was ready to place his shoes
in the tracks alleged to have been
found and abide by the results. The
plaintiff took one look at the some
four square feet of shoe leather.
scratched his head, then admitted
that the alibi was complete and
dropped the case, whereupon both
Hunter and Coulter were released
and the curtain fell.

MAY NEVER BE ABLE
 TO PITCH AGAIN.
Iron Man Jack .Coembs Seriously Sick
 at Home in Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, Pa May 20-John w. Coombs, pitcher of the Athletic base ball club and one of the most famous boXmen in America, may never play another game. Coombs is lying at his home, 2213 Cumberland street, in a critical condition. Physicians attend the great pitcher night and day,whiIe one of two professional nurses never leaces his bedside. While the attend ing medical experts have not given up hope of saving Coombs' life. it is no secret that he is a dangerously sick man.
 Coombs participated in only one championship game this year-the opening contest with the worlds champions in Boston, on April 12 The Iron Man was obliged to leave the game in the fifth inning. although he had limited the hits made by the champions in that period to three His breakdown was complete. Coombs has practically been an invalid ever since he left the game in Boston on the opening day of the championship sea- son. He was brought to this city and sent to a hospital where. it is said. an operation was performed on him for an old injury received in pitching the

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
BOND BIDS DISAPPOINTING.
pePresses Market, CanceIling Gains
 Made Early in the Day.

New York, May 2O.-After slowly gathering strength during the greater part of tOday's market, stocks re- ceiVed a setback late in the session, when bids were opened for New York city's $45,000.000 issue of 1-2 per cent. bonds. The bids fell considerably below the usual estimates. The view commonly held as to the probable is sue price of the bonds was indicated by the trading in the bonds when iS- sued, which has been in progress on the curb for some time. The bonds sold as high as 100 3-4, and today there were sales at 100 1-2, before the bids were opened. When it became known that bids from some of the largest financial institutions were be- ing received at par. or slightly above, the bonds sold off to 100 3-16, and the outstanding city issues also weakened.
 The cfty's bond offering had been looked forward to with unusual 1n- terest, in the hope that the result mght indicate the revival of an in ment was derived from the fact that more individual bids were received than on the occasion of any other city bond issue since 1908. but the street professed disappointment that the comparatively high rate of interest did not result in higher bids The depression of sentiment as a result was registered in a reaction in the stock market which cancelled a large portion of the gains made earlier in the day.
 Prices of stocks moved irregularIy at the outset. but the undertone was firm. Withdrawal of pressure from the Rock Island and Su Louis and San Francisco issues, which were es- pecially weak yesterday. had a stimu- lating effect, and traders were inclined to take the long side of the market. The upward movement received con siderable impetus from the circulation of 3 rumor that the Hartman disso- lution plan had been decided upon to the satisfaction of all the parties at interest. On the strength of this ru- nor Union Pacific and Southern Pa ci1c rose strongly and the rest of the market moved up with them. AL though the rumor subsequently was denied, the market retained it's sdvan- tage until it received it's setback late in the day,
 Bonds were higher. St. Louis and San Francisco general fives touched 72, new low record. Total sales, par value, S1,430. 900.

NEW USE FOR UMBRELLAS
 BY SCOTCH GOLF sENTRIEs
Protection Against VitrioI Suffragettes
 Are Expected to Shower.

St. Andrews, Scotland, May 20- This little town is almost in a state of siege, as the result of threats uttered by the militant suffragettes that they will destroy the putting greens and thus render play impossible in the worlds amateur golf championship which is to be competed for here next week.
 The most intense excitement prevails among the townspeople, who depend largely for their prosperity upon the golf links, while the members of the royal and ancient golf club. also are extremely anxious. They and the citf- zens have organized a vigilance com mittee, whose members, together with 5000 volunteers, will guard the greens night and day.
 The general anxiety becomes keen CT every day, as it is thought that the militant suffragettes may refrain from delivering their attack until the last moment. when it would be inn possible to repair the damage
 As 1t Is understood that the women will use vitriol to destroy the greens. all the sentries stationed there have provided themselves with large um- brellas to prevent the corrosive fluid being thrown into their faces.

TIGERS BEAT ATHLETICS 8 TO '
In Thrilling Ten Inning Bale-Ty Cobbs Sensational Play ing Big Factor-Clevelsnd Ties Philadelphia For First Place

Detroit; Mich. May 20.-Ty Cobb, not content with hitting twice for ex- tra, bases. walking on two occasions and stealing home once. stretched a base hit into a double in the tenth in ming when Daley was slow in fielding the ball and brought home the winning run today when Brown walked Gainer, Moriarty and High in succession. The final count was Detroit 8. Philadelphia ', and the contest from opening to close was one succession of thrilling situations.
 Apparently beaten when they came to bat in the eighth. the Tigers drove in four runs with four hits. which placed them one run ahead of Phila- delphia- The Athletics then evened matters up by a lightning rally. With two men out and nobody on bases, Oldring put the ball over the left field wall for a home run.
 CObbs hit in the tenth was a low drive to center. Veach bunted and was thrown out. Then Manager Mack ordered Brown to pass both Gainer and Moriarty to fill the bases and set the stage for a possible double play. After this was carried out, Manager Jennings ordered High to bat for Stanage; the dininutive outfielder quickly drew four balls and the game was over.
 Houck and Elawitter were the op- posing pitchers at the start of the game. but both were hit hard and re- placed. Cobb's steal of home occurred performance of that nature in three days. Today he had a perfect day at bat, either hitting safely or being pass ed on each occasion he faced the op- posing pitcher.
