There is trouble in store for some
one when the Pacific association

1t is also claimed that the club has
several Lowell high school swimmers

These are the claims made by the
Y. NJ c. A, but the clubmen have a
different view. The meet was not

compete in, but limited only to club
members Every one of the boys
complained of is a member of the
club in good standing and in a
CLOSED meet" such as was held last
Thursday night, is eligible to swim
in his club colors.
The men complained of have not,

BIC LEAGUE
STARS On
The WAY
Giants and White Sox Billed
to Open in Oakland on
Thursday
By JOE MURPHY

The big leaguers are getting close
10 this city. They will be here on
Thursday, when the first game OF the
series of five scheduled will take place
at Oakland, starting promptly at
o'clock. Friday the stars viii make
their debut on this side of the bay,
and will continue the series at Recre-
alton park on Saturday and SUNDAY
afternoons. There is also Sunday
morning game scheduled at Oakland,
which takes place at the usual hour.
The fans are anxious to know who
is going to do the pitching on the
various afternoons. The real attrac-
tion seems to be Mathewson, and IN
quiry after inquiry is coming into Sec
retary Harry Walton at Recreation
park, but he is unable to give the
anxious fans a definite answer.
The best information given out is
that Mathewson will be seen in ac-
tion while the stars are here, but the
exact date of his appearance has not
been announced. There is one thing
certain and that is that Mathewson
will not appear in the game on sun
day afternoon, as has been published
IN this paper some days ago.
Both teams are composed of stars
Of the first water. The pitchers in
particular are a high class bunch OF
fingers. Mathewson has the great
est reputation OF them, but right at
his heels is Walter Johnson, probably
the greatest pitcher in the game at
the present time. There is Reb Rus
sell. the southpaw who Callahan
pfcked from the bushes last season
and proved the sensation of the year;
Walter Leverenz, the left handed
finger of the st. Louis Browns, who
formerly played with the Los Angeles
club. and Fromme of New York, an
other pitcher who has been in the
limelight.
In fact the coming aggregation of
big leaguers is a great combination.
The fans will have a chance to see
Mike Donlin in action again, and the
great Muggsy McGraw will also be
with the squad.
Now word comes that Los Angeles
will not get Nick Aldtrock, the come
dian ball player who Henry Berry
of the southern club was expecting
10 get from the Washington club of
the American league. The official
bulletin had 1t reported that Altrock
had been released by the Washington
club to Los Angeles. Nick was re-
leased to the Angels, but was taken
back by Griffith. Altrock played with
the Los Angeles club IN 19Ol and was
some twirler then. AS pitcher he
is no longer considered in the run
ming, but as a maker of merriment
he is one of the best cards in the big
league. Henry Berry was after some
one to brighten up his club. He was
disappointed when he learned that
Griffith was not disposed to part with
Altrock.
However, Berry is to get several
players from the Washington club.
Calvo. the Cuban player; R Spencer
and c. r. Borton will come to the An
gels via Washington.

There has been considerable talk
about the teams of the Federal league
being required to put up a deposit of
S25, 900 as a guarantee that they would
play the season out. At the recent
meeting of the Federals held in In
dianapolis last week no signs of dough
were in evidence. It may be that the
money was secretly put up, but If so
1t seems to be an unwise move The
players want to see the money. If
they are going to do any business
with the outlaw league it will be when
they know they are sure of their sala-
ries.

There is some talk in the south that
the Venice club viii be a farm for the
New York Giants. 1T is known that
Ed Maier. magnate of the club, and
Manager Hogan are anxious to form
an alliance with Muggsy McGraw of
the Giants. Maier is unusually anx-
ious to win a pennant, and he figures
that if he could secure some of the
Giants overflow material he would
have no trouble in landing his club in
first place.

A report has it that Harry Wolver-
ton has purchased Jack Atkins in
terest in the Sacramento Ball club
and official announcement of the sale
is to be made today. 1t is said that
Wolverton is acting for other parties,
but that he will have full sway in di-
recting the affairs of the team
Atkins retirement from the baseball
field comes as a result of big offer
from an Englishman horseman for
him to join his employ. The offer, de-
clares Atkin. is such a lucrative one
that he could not afford to overlook
It even if he had to give away the
Sacramento Ball club.
During Atkins short connection
with the Sacramento Ball club he has
given the town a team that it should
be proud Of.

FRANK JAMES
Noted Bandit Lives Quietly on
Missouri Home Farm

Denver, July 21.-Within the last
few months there have come many
stories regarding Frank James. the
one-time bandit. Frank James has
died in Oregon. California and a few
other states, he has gotten religion
in the east and he has been active
generally. And the queer part about
it is that he lie alive and in good health
and is spending his last days ON the
old James farm. a few miles from
Kearny, No., where Jesse james is
buried.
This is the information that is
brought to Denver by l.. Wright, a
motion picture proprietor.
81 went back to get James opinion
regarding law and order" Wright
said. He told me this:
If any one ii inks they can violate
the law and make q success of it,
consider them insane and their finish
will be the gsllows or the peniten-
tiary.'
Frank James contends that he was
innocent OF all the charges of outlawry
placed against him.

LACKS POWER
No Penalty Attached to the
State Investigation
Law

Pierre, July 21.-The action Of ex-
state treasurer Schamber in refusing to
talk about his administration before
the state investigating committee
further than to give his name, resi-
deuce and occupation, has disclosed
the fact that this committee really has
nc power to compel anyone to testify
on anything. 1t has bsen learned
that there is no penalty for refusing
to obey their summons or answer qIes
lions, and this will undoubtedly cut
short the investigation of the commit
tea so far as its work is concerned
where information is wanted other than
documentary evidence already in pos
session of the state.
Schamber having settled with the
state according to the official records
takes the position that be is not under
obligation to anyone to further talk
about the administration of his Office.
1t is very likely that the work of
the commission will be greatly short
ened by the discovery that the COM
mittee is powerless and that there is
no law for compulsory testimony.
The fact that no penalty was pre-
scribed makes the law under which
the committee is operating something
of a joke.

RETIRED PACKER


Chicago, July 21.-A remarkable
story Of the latter years of the life OF
the retired packer, Kossuth II. Bell,
who committed suicide here recently,
was told to a c~oroner's jury here today
by his widow, Mrs. Emma Bell. from
whom the deceased separated three
years ago. About five years ago. Mrs.
Bell recited, her husband became in
volved with q married woman whose
husband was q Mason. When Bell,
himself a Mason. learned this. he
worried continuously until his mind
became affected.
"He would not let me put a napkin
on the table because he said that the
Masons ~signalled him with them and
he made me keep the window shades
down so that the gang could not see
him." said the witness.
Bell wal finally adjudged insane and
took poison at the Kenilwoith asylum,
bat recovered. Later while being
brought to Chicago to see a dentist, he
jumped from a moving train and wal
at large for some days. After tne
separation he obtained q house keeper

Armour Having Lively Scrap on
the Postmastership

Armour, July 81. Armour is now
in the throes of ne of the hottest
political fights in its history. Tim
othy Norton, the present postmaster,
received his appointment last October,
but failed of confirmation before the
closing of Taft g administration. I'm
mediately thereafter a number of demo
Gratis began getting out their petitions
and Inducements. "Oncle" John
Bean, a civil war veteran and a
democrat of long standing. SHE'D bis
caster In the ring. Levi d. Wait,
former editor of the Armour Herald
and prominent in county and state
politics, also entered William Moore,
an old time democrat and ex-mayor of
Armour, followed suit. The race had
hardly got to the quarter pole when
Mr.. Bean was compelled to drop out
on accom- { of an order by the postmas-
ter general limiting the age at 65 for
applicants for third class Offices.
Beans support went over to Moore.
Instructions from the democratic lead
ers of the state were received the first
of the week urging the local demo
cratic organization to call a primary to
settle this problem. This would be all
we'll and good as far a. the democrats
are concerned if 1t were not for the
present assistant postmistress, Miss
Jessie French. She has served under
four different ~postmasters, beginning
with Tom Roberts twelve years ago.
She has given the best of satisfaction.
and her ability is recognized by all
the patrons Of the Office. She has been
highly commended by the ~postofice in
spectors for her conduct Of the Office.
and should she be a candidate in an
open primary it is admitted by even
the present aspirants that she would
be a formidable one.
