- GORGE BURNS is the soft pedal
of the Giants. He is so quiet
~ you can't ever hear his shirts.
AS matter of fact, he hasn't ac-
quired the silk shirt habit yet, be-
ing hardly more than a recruit and
still wearing the sort with single
cuffs, not the turned back kind.
George is so quiet he has to eat
onions or garlic or something every
time he wants to attract McGraw's
attention-that is at close range.
Young Mr.. Burns first brought the
big league focus on his doings when
he was playing with the Utica team
in the New York state league some
time ago but he had been hanging
around the Polo ground for a long
period before he got his chance. Old
Opportunity finally gave the knock on
the Burns door one day, and George
was right there listening and grabbed
the old man by the fOrelock without
further ado as the actors say. He

on the team. It is generally believed
by ball players that the constant

HUSBAND DEAD; WIFE ACCUSED
New Orleans Mans Throat Cut and
Woman SlaShed.

New York, Aug. 27.-Joseph
Sharp, who had been employed as a
steward in a restaurant here pending
the settlement Of the estate left by
his parents in New Orleans, was
found dead with his throat cut last
night.
Although Mrs. Sharp insisted that
her husband had killed himself after
slashing her with a razor, the wo-
man was placed under arrest charg-
ed with murder. Mrs. Sharp was
badly injured.
The couple had quarreled, declar-
ed the wife, and in. fit of temper
Sharp attacked her as she lay in
bed. She telephoned for aid before
collapsing from weakness due to loss
of blood. The charge against the
woman, the police said, was prompt
ed by contradictory stories she told
and by her statement that Sharp af-
ter he cut his throat, exclaimed:
well, did it."
This, physician who examined
the body for the authorities declar-
ed, was an impossibility, as death
from the throat cash had been prac-
tically instantaneous.
