IN The HOTEL LOBBIES

Some years ago an aged Norwegian
who had lived in the state for five or
six years made up his mind that he
would apply for the honor of becom-
ing citizen of the United States
and in due time he appeared before
District Judge Pollock to answer the
necessary questions.
He was an intelligent man and he
told the court who the president of
the United States was at that time,
mentioned the name of the governor
of the state and the mayor of Fargo
and appeared to- be getting along all
right until Judge Pollock asked:
Are you satisfied with the gem
eral conditions of the country?"
"Ya-as, drawled out the man from
Norway. a. -. --"A
Does the government suit you?'
continued the court in it's explana-
ton.
"Ya-as, ya-as. l bane well suited,
only l bane like to see more rain"
Leonard Melby, who sells coal out
of Duluth, Mimi, arrived at the Wal
dorf a day or two ago in company
with the man he called "his side

of G. N. Cody, for he is in the same
line of business. 1t was the first

IspecinI to the Newark start

PROVIDENCE, R. l., June e.
Newark scored in just two rounds
against Providence yesterday, but in
those two scoring sessions the Tigers
gathered seven runs and defeated the
Grays IA. The Bengals had one big
erapturous round in which they ac-
cumulated six luscious tallies, send
ing young Mr.. Wheatley to the
shower baths and the locker room.
Wheatley, who is a 19-year-old
phenom, tried out by Detroit this
spring, got his worst beating of tho
season twirling against the grizzled
veteran. Wyatt Lee. Wheatley was
sent to Providence by Detroit because
he refused to obey instructions from
Hughey Jennings during the training
season. He made his own regula-
tions concerning. working hours and
showed a lordly disdain for man
dates issued by his commander-in-
chief. Wild Bill Donovan has curbed
some of Wheatley's' Eighty tenden-
cies. but the Tigers put the check
rein and bit on him in his first real
workout yesterday.
The hits were even in number, each
team corralling twelve safeties.
Swacina had two doubles and w.
Zimmerman and Lee one each. Bau-
man had a homer and triple off Lee,
Shean had two doubles and Platte
triple. The Tigers, however, got their
bingles at the right moments and
made them count for their utmost
value.
Swacina penetrated the hit and the
run column in the second inning.
Harry opened with a double, adj
vanced on a sacrifice hit and counted
when Getz punched single to CEN
tire. In the fourth "Swats" doubled
again, but was nipped at the plate
a few minutes later. Providence as
usual, tied it up, but the tie was not
long in existence. The Grays got
going in the fourth round. Bauman
tripled and scored On Texas Lacquer
over Gagnier's head, for which On
SLOW was responsible.
The sixth inning took all of the
pepper out of the Grays. Newark
registered six hits and made them
count for six runs. A pass and a
sacrifice hit also helped.
Lee walked to start the festivities.
Dalton and Gagnier followed with
singles filling the bases. w. thinner
