was to write every day to President
Ledyard of the Michigan Central rail-
road and tell Ledyard wherein he was
failing in the conduct Of his road.
There was a letter for Ledyard every
morning. They annoyed him, and he
sent for his general counsel n day

MYSTERY OF SLINGS6Y HElF
Identity of Child Upon Whom Big
Estate Hinges in Doubt.

San Francisco, Jan. 21.-Confllcting
testimony before the District Attor-
ney today deepened the mystery in
the Slingsby case, which hinges on
the question of whether Mrs. Dorothy
Slingsby, wife of Lieut. Charles
Slingsby of the British Navy, claimed
as her son a son OF Lillian Anderson
An inheritance In England said to
have been left tothe first male heir
of the Slingsbys, is the feature of the
case.
Mrs. Amanda Koch. who was living
with Mrs. Slingsby in the fall OF 1910
swore at the hearing today that no
child was born to Mrs. Slingsby on
Sept. /. the date of its announced
birth.
DR. Martin Regensburger, President
OF the State Board of Health, test
fed that he had attended Mrs. Sings
by just prior to that date, and that an
heir was expected
Mrs o. II. Balm declared Mrs.
Slingsby had given birth to a child
in her establishment on Aug. 16, two
weeks earlier, but it died
Word came to the officials today
that the Slingsbys now in England
had taken steps to be represented at
the hearing, and in the arraignment
of DR. w. w. Frazer. who is charged
with having falsified the birth certi-
flcate of the baby alleged to have
been substituted. They have also
engaged detectives and are endesvor-
ing to trace Lillian Anderson.
Lieut.. Slingsby has already come
into possession of his own inheri-
lance, large English estate, but the
disposition of property, valued at
about 100000, vested in their son,
is said to depend upon the success
in establishing the child's identity.

FogIer Gives Verri a ROughing
and Kramer Bumps Jackie
Clark Around.
MORAN IS STILL ON DECK

PHILADELPHIA, June Trough
riding was evident in the races at the
Point Breeze track last night, Joe
Fogler. of Brooklyn, defeating Fran
cisco Verri, champion of Italy, in two
of the three heats of their match
race.
Fogler roughed the Italian and won
the second heat, after losing the first.
In the third heat he crowded Verri tc
the top of the track, and in the final
sprint repeatedly tried to bump his
opponent. The roughing was so open
that Verri sat up, expecting TO win
the heat on foul, but his claim was
not allowed.
Champion Frank L. Kramer was
another offender. After winning the
first heat in the match race with
Jackie Clark and Alfred Goullet, it
looked as though Kramer was about
to be beaten by Clark in the second
heat, when the champion deliberately
bumped Clark, almost knocking him
down. For this Kramer was set back
to third place in the heat, and Clark
named as the winner. But Kramer
came back and won the third and de-
Gliding heat.
Jimmy Moran added to his popular
ity by taking the thiI ty-mile motor
paced race from three opponents.
One of Moran's pedals was so loose
for the last ten miles that he kicked
ii off his wheel at the end of the race.

1t was dreary day for the Phil
lies. New York won two from Bos-
ton and thereby jumped within two
games of the Quakers.
A very unusual play was made in

Philadelphia yesterday. Luderus hit
to Daubert. who booted the ball to
his right Cutshaw came running to-
ward first. picked up the ball and
threw to Rucker in time to retire
Luddy at first.
