Of an executive which has attracted
the attention of the entire world.
On two persons, woman and a
man, Suffers fate seems to depend.
His wife, whom Suffers friends claim
is really responsible for his present
difficulty, and Edgar M. Cullen, chief
Judge of the Court of Appeals, who
will preside over the trial, and whose
opinion will have powerful influence
on the court.
Mrs. Sulzer has claimed that she
alone is responsible for the stock
speculation, and if she tells her story
before the Impeachment court, she
will lend an intensely human touch to
a proceeding about which there is
still much mystery. She will prob
ably be able to clear up the inside
truth of the allegation, made by
friends of Sulzer, that the specula-
ton deal was in reality Tan1many
trap, baited by Boss Charles Francis
Murphy himself and was designed to
give him stranglehold on the states
executive whereby he could force him
to work his will.

LOW-HEELED SHOES A MENACE
TO HEALTH SAY DOCTORS
Denver, Colo, Sept. 18.-Women
who have prided themselves on their
good sense in wearing low-heeled
shoes will be shocked to find that
doctors are of the opinion that low
heels are a serious menace to- the
health.
eff women persist in wearing low
heeled shoes we will have a race of
women with broken arches" Re-
tired Surgeon-General Adams of ILL
nois, declared. "a sudden return to
low-heeled shoes after using the 9TH
er thing for centuries will ruin the
feet of every woman in the country.
After they have worn high heels and
had their bodies thrown into a for
ward position, the weight of the body
resting on the ball of the foot-to
come suddenly to normal position
is too great a strain"

Three shootings occurred in Little

Mrs. Alec was walking with her

He placed a sawed-off shotgun

The girl was taken to the Passavant

The Alec couple lived at 1118 Hud-

HOPKINS AND AGC|ES
Blue and Gray Does Not Ex-
pect to Have Easy Time
Winning. \

Realizing that today's game with Johns
Hopkins and tomorrow's game with the
Maryland Agricultural College will be
two hard contests, Coach Harley again
played a full nine-inning game with the
prep school nine. The varsity team had
no trouble in winning by a score of to
%. Kelley. who pitched for the prep
school nine for four innings, had the
varsity at his mercy. He only allowed
three hits, two Of them being OF the
scratchy order. His control was excellent
he not giving a single base on balls. After
four innings of this alright pitching
Coach Harley decided that his star pitch
er had sufficient work, and placed Kier-
nan In the box. The varsity had little
trouble hitting the offerings Of Herman,
and as a result 8 runs were chalked up
against this youngster. Fienle pitched
the first four innings for the varsity nine
and displayed fine form. FIenle, If
worked in today's game, will give a good
account Of himself. as he is in the best
of condition now. Young Mccarthy, who
captained the prep school nine last sea-
son, was used by Coach Harley in the
box. Mccarthy has been playing in the
outfield in the last two games, but as his
he has sore finger. the coach has been
unable to get good line on this young
ster in the box.
In Mccarthy Georgetown has a brilliant
young pitcher. Mccarthy yesterday had
a fine breaking curve: in fact, no other
pitcher on the hilltop has such a curve
ball as Mccarthy. The coach was de-
LIGHTED with this lads showing and may
use him against the Aggies tomorrow.

weather sets. in will he be able to dis
play real major league caliber.
Notwithstanding his rather poor show
ing to date, Griffith believes that Dent
has the making of good pitcher and he
will carry him along, even though he will
not be able to work much, until he has
had real trial
DrOhan is gradually rounding into form
ana he will be given a chance to show
what he can do before the regular sea-
son opens. But on the whole it is very
evident that the strength Of the pitching
staff must be drawn from the twirlers
who drew salary here last fall. The vet
Grams will be. reinforced by Cashion,
Engel and Gallia, three youngsters who
are showing marked improvement over
last years form.
The more one sees of Chick Gandil the
more. convincing becomes the fact that
the big first baseman has few equals
when it comes to fielding. It seems to
make no difference where the ball is
thrown. Gandil always manages to get it..
1t is rare thing to see him make a
misplay. and the hardest kind Of chances
are accepted with grace and ease by him.
This ought to be a. great year for Gan
dill. He Is sure again to be one of the
teams best hitters. and il such a thing
is possible his fielding, too. will be better
than ever.
Judging from reports from other cities
in the circuit, none of the teams is in as
good condition right now as the Nation
ais, barring, perhaps, the New York
Americans, who were favored by splen-
did weather In Bermuda.
This should prove quite an advantage
during the early part of the season, and
it might also be figured that the Nation
also being in in good condition at the out
set will gradually improve as the season
progresses
According to reports made to Manager
Griffith by Jack Ryan. who is coaching
Virginia at Charlottesville, Jim Shaw the
young pitcher from Pittsburgh who was
recently signed by Griffith, is showing a
lot Of ability. Shaw was left with Ryan
for development. and Ryan seems to be
OF the opinion that Shaw stands a chance
to make good. Richard Guy, who rec
commended Shaw to Griffith, is in the city
to see Griffith regarding Shaws future.

Report Has It That Cobb

ADMISSION, Ga, April 2.-Ty
Cobb has agreed to terms with
President Navin of the Detroit

This is the news that was i'm

tional League club In training here
by Shortstop Tommy Mcmillan.

came here to talk terms with
Manager John CAMEL. Mcmillan
has been playing with Cobb's all

thority for the statement that it
has been known in Atlanta for q

It is understood that Navin gave
Cobb his permission to organize
his all-Georgians and pick up as
much easy money as possible in
exhibition games before the OPEN
ing of the American League sea-
son.
This probably accounts for the
non interference Of the national
commission. John CAMEL Is only
one Of q score of minor league

that the commission should take
action to prevent the formation Of
such team as that led by Cobb.

DAYS practice Lawlor threw beauufully.
Neubaur also should be given credit Tor

In the game today three changes in
the lineup are predicted. Johnnie Shu-

last season, was used in center ne!o.
Shuerue is q very fast fielder. and while
not much is known about his hitting. stiii
he is In line for a try-Out. Coach mar
lev was unwilling to state whether ne
would use this lad today. but the anolca-
tons are that he will be USED. inky
Davis has not been able to report Tor
practice since last Friday. and for this
reason Campazzi has been worked at
third base. and will in all probability De

GALLAGHER VERDICT HELD UP.
Committee of A. A. U. Hears Him
and Reserves Its Decision.

PHILADELPHIA, April 2.-John J. Gal
lagher, the crack runner of Georgetown
University, conferred with the officials Of
the registration committee of the Middle
Atlantic Association of the A. A. U. and
gave the reasons for asking for so-called
exorbitant expense money to participate
in street run here recently.
Gallagher said that it was on Tues
day. and not Thursday. that he asked for
the expense money necessary to stay over
here for the run, and that he asked only
$25. all Of which, he said, would be nee
essary for the several days spent here.
He gave the committee an itemized list
of his expenses, and several of the items
failed to meet with the approval of the
committee, being directly against the
rules of amateur athletics. The Wednes-
day preceding the race Gallagher ran in
New York. The committee showed that
it was inclined to believe Gallagher
had attempted to collect expense money
twice on one trip. which to it was
commercialism in athletics.
After going over the case thoroughly
the committee decided to reserve decision
for one week.
