be an authentic source, is that the
new passenger station will be locat-

bridge will be wide enough to accom-
modate double track, and the main
business of the road will be transact-

HITCH III BOBS UP IN
WHITE SLAVE CASE
cAMINETTI AND DlGGS MAY ES.
CAPE PROSECUTION AFTER
ALL.

WASHINGTON July 29.-Repcrts
from the department OF justice indi-
cate that under the Interpretation Of
the Mann white slave act by Attor-
.ney General McReynolds, the C;.mi-
netti-Diggs white slave case in Cali
fornia may not be brought to prose-
cution.
1t is understood that the attorney
general has issued instructions to all
of the United States attorneys that
no prosecutions be brought under the
Mann act except tohse in which the
defendant Is shown to be sharing in
the profits of the white slave traffic.
Commenting on the report that At
torney General McReynolds has inter
preted the Mann white save act to be
not applicable to the facts in the
Caminetti-Diggs case, Representative
Kahn, Of San Francisco, said tonight:
"If this is the attitude Of the at
torney general, it is the first thing
he has done in the open in these
cases. With the assumption of this
position, the people Of this country
will have an opportunity to judge the
department o. justice in clear light
and on a single issue which cannot be
clouded by tactics such as were used
in explaining the continuance of the
Caminetti Diegs case"
Congressman Curry, of Sacramen-
to, the city where Caminetti and
Diggs resided. said:
'If the reports of the aottorney
generals position are true, it is an
outrage. The attorney general should
not have the power to check indict-
ments in this way. The facts in the
case should go before the court,
which alone should apply the law as
it finds the evidence produced"

SCHALK CAUSES A SENSATION
Former Milwaukee 5ackstop 10 Con.
sidered by Yankees Star az Best
In American League.

Although he has been wearing a
Chicago White Sox uniform but
short time, Ray Schalk, the catcher
secured from the Milwaukee club for
$4,000, is a reigning sensation. Ed
Sweeney, the Hillmen's star backstop,
after seeing young Schalk work be-
hind the bat, remarked:
It's saying a lot, l know, but
Schalk comes near being the best
catcher In the American league to-
day."
Schalk is twenty years old. He was
born in Harvel, ILL.,, of German par
ents, but his home is in Litchfield.
He has been playing baseball for
about three years and began last sea-
son with the Taylorsvile, ILL.,, club, in
the Illinois and Missouri league. In
July a year ago scout in the employ
of the Milwaukee American associa-
ton club saw the young man catch
several games and then recommended
his purchase. The Milwaukee club
bought him for $1,000 and he caught
In about thirty games before the sea-
son closed.
When the 1912 campaign opened
Hugh Duffy, the Milwaukee manager,
decided to make Schalk his regular
catcher The youngster quickly sur
prised the critics with his wonderful
catching and throwing and as he i'm
proved steadily the major league
scouts focked to Milwaukee to look
him over. Duffy put price on the
boys release-$15, O0O-but nobody
seemed willing to pay 1t. After catch.
ing eighty games, however, Schalk
had proved his worth to such extent
that Comiskey offered $4,000 in cash
and two ball players, and Duffy closed
the DEAL
Schalk is feet 10 inches tall and
weighs ITO pounds. He is a light
haired, bright-eyed, modest fellow,
who doesn't seem to realize his i'm
portance.
Jimmy Callahan, manager of the
White Sox, was SC impressed with
Schalk after he had seen him play a
few games that he benched his vet
eran catcher Billy Sullivan.
"Schalk cost lot of money" said
Callahan, but he's worth 1t. 1 think
he will develop into the best back
stop in the country"

AFTER "KING" coBB'S CROWN
Joe Jackson and TrIs Speaker Eager
to Gust Georgia Peach From
His Exalted Perch.

The opening of the big league base
ball season inaugurated many inter-
esting events, but none more likely to
be followed with keen attention than
the race for leading batting honors
between Ty Cobb of Detroit, Joe Jack
son Of Cleveland and iris Speaker Of
Boston.
Cobb has led the league in batting
for six years, and last season hung
up the awesome average of .410, which
is going some. Jackson, for two years
a close pursuer of Cobb, pasted the
pellet for 1896, while iris Speaker,
main stroke in the Boston Red Sox
outfit, batted for 1888.
Speaker and Jackson both have
done great things so far this season,
southpaws and right-handers all have
looked alike to these two so far as
the hittability of their hurting offer.
