All of these changes in the neighbor

Miss Mazuret had entered the house in

The next day there were other call

In the afternoon, the four--Mrs Martin
and her three Iodgers-left the house in
Q body. Thereafter there was no caller
until nearly I o'clock In the evening,
when night had fallen. These were
unusual visitors. There were two OF
them, and. though they had never en-
tered the house before. they produced
q bunch of keys and fitted one into the
front door The younger of the two
men carried woman's hand bag par
italy concealed under his coat. Miss
Mazuret met them In the hall and
greeted them with nervous and eager
relief. They were Mr.. Kayton and his

A rather large work table was be-

was the Philadelphia teams last ap-
pearance here in an American league
contest this season and marked their
first defeat in New York since the
spring of 1912.
Caldwell pitched the best game of his
career in the opening contest, holding
the visitors to two singles. Shawkey
was knocked out of the box in the third
inning. Houck pitched well until the
eighth.
In the second game the New Yorks
gained a commanding lead off Brown
in the first two innings. Bush was an
improvement. Fischer pitched we'll for

The record of McGilvray attracted
great attention on account Of the

club. who is now about to break
the record for hitting established
throughout recent seasons by Tyrus
Cobb. In 1910 Jackson ran McGil-

September, when the Baron loped
ahead. Jackson finished second
