The announcement that Mrs. EN-
incline Pankhurst. who 10 the mother,
the grandmother and all the other rela,-s

to surge in the breasts Of various
people.

sorry to lose their leader. With her

say the word and they'd start out to

the navy, annihilate the army and turn
the country " to the king Of the
Cannibal islands.

FILES AN APPEAL TO SETTLE
ALLEGED CONTEMPT OF COURT
Springfield, Ill.,, Aug. 19.-Carlton
Prouty of Chicago has filed an ap-
peal in the Supreme Court, question
ing the right of an Illinois court to
sentence a divorce for contempt
when he violates the courts order
and marries within one year after
the granting of his divorce.
Prouty was divorced by his wife,
Carrie B. Prouty, in the Superior
Court of Cook County on October
25, 1912, for desertion. In spite of
the order of the court that neither
party should marry within one year
from that time PrOuty married four
days after the issuance Of the de-
cree. He was arrested, charged with
contempt of court, fined $500 and
sentenced to jail for ninety days.
The Supreme Court has decided
that marriages under such circum-
stances as this are void, but has
never passed upon the right of the
trial court to sentence for contempt

New York, Aug, 1e.-Unable to

days came from the apartment of
Henry Lake, waiter, neighbors Iv-

complained to the police. The locked
door was broken open and the dead
bodies of Mrs. Lake and the four
children were discovered, while
Lake lay in a dying condition with a
bullet hole in his head.
Investigation showed that Lake
shot and killed his wife and children
sometime last Wednesday night and
then lived in the room with their
bodies until Friday night, when he
shot himself through the head. He
will die.
Neighbors said that Lake, an En-

almost constantly with his wife, who
was Irish and Catholic.

ly to shore, intending to pitch

oner and his boatload of loot was
towed to Tacoma, arriving here
at s o'clock Sunday morning.
According to the boys confess
sions. after leaving Tacoma he
robbed the store of j. M. Smith at
Steilacoom and the SteilacQom
postoffice. Going to Seattle, he
looted several launches and then
proceeded north, inte-.ding to
make camp in Hoods canal and
remain hidden until the search
for him was abandoned. He de-
clared that Warren Bachelor, the
other youth held at police head
quarters as an accomplice. had
had nothing to do with the crimes.

BY GROVER G. ALEXANDER.
The Giants are dangerous hit
ters and daring base runners, as
the Athletics will discover before
the worlds series is far along.
With the prospect of q PEN
nant for Philadelphia, studied
the Giant batters more closely
than usual, perhaps, as the team
was the one we had to beat to
win.
Meyers is natural slugger-
hard to fool. He hits anything
yet at times he misses all sorts
of pitching. He likes high ball,
close in, but is as good on a low
one when he is meeting them. l
don't believe any pitcher knows
his weakness. Against Meyers !
put everything ! have on the
ball.
Doyle is a slugger, too, but
hasn't been hitting much this
year. He likes them low, but is
deadly on high ones when his eye
is on the ball. 1 have been most
successful by making him reach
for them.
Snodgrass Is a streak hitter.
Weeks at time he can't hit a
thing, and all of sudden he be-
gins, and, no matter what you
serve him, he laces it safe. II he
has batting streak during the
series it wouldn't surprise me to
see him lead both clubs.
Shafer is one of the best bat
ters ON the team and one Of the
most scientific hitters in the
game. Being q left-hander, he
usually hits to right field, but he
does place his hits.
Burns is a good hitter. He
likes curves. Low calls are his
long suit. He isn't so likely to
hit the high ones, close in. He is
the best waiter on the team. He
won't 60 after anything that isn't
right over. When the ball is over
both he and Shafer will swing,
and they usually land.
Murray is dangerous. Give him
o fast one, rather high, and he
will murder It. He's not SO good
ON low balls, but likes curves.
Merkle and Fletcher are both
high-bail hitters. Let Mergle
have one around the shoulders
and he will drive it out of the
lot. He is weak on low balls, but
have seen him lift low ones to
the fence.
Fletcher doesn't like low balls,
nor Is he keen for curves. He
can whale curves, but doesn't hit
them SO we'll as the fast ones.
Mclean, like Meyers. is a slug
ger. He doesn't like to reach for
them nor does he care to stoop
for a low one, but he can hit 'em
low when necessary. He dearly
loves a high ball.
On the bases the Giants are
wonders. Every man, save
Meyers and Mclean, can sprint.
They take more chances than any
team in the league. They worry
pitchers with their long leads, yet
they generally beat a snap throw
back to the base.
II a pitcher tried to keep the
Giants anchored to the bases he'd
spend his time watching them.
Sometimes the pitchers do catch
them. but the chances are over
whelming in the Giants favor.
For every man caught, four are
not, and that means each ad-
vances base.
The Giants have base-running
to science this year, and It is
the big reason for their success.
They are faster and better than
In 1911.
When q pitcher is worried his
effectiveness Is cut down. The
worried pitcher cannot give his
entire attention to foOling the
batter, and this gives the team II
bat big advantage.
