PITCHER "RASsLES"
WITH GRIZZLY BEAR

Beaudette, Mimi, Aug. 6.-While P.
J. Barry Of Chicago, who recently
twirled for the Spencer, MINI, base
ball team, was conceded to be some
player, he is not good as a wrestler,
especially when his opponent is fe-
male bear.
Barry, accompanied by a friend,
went to the islands in the Lake Of
the Woods Monday. They were fish
ing and became separated. Barry
hooked a 15-pound pike, and while en-
deavoring to land it in the rocks came
face to face with the bear, who was
accompanied by cub. Mrs. Bear i'm
mediately rushed the ball player. They
roughed 1t and Barry was getting the
best Of the argument when, in a clinch,
he stepped on the fish. He fell with
the bear on top.
Barry's friends heard the commo-
ton and, cutting a sapling, came to
the rescue. Barry was unconscious
from loss Of blood, his right arm be,
ing torn from elbow to shoulder.

Lacon Mills to Joliet.

Joliet, H., Aug. 6.-The Lacon
wooden mills, employing between so
and 100 people, may be re-estabiished
in Joliet. Negotiations to this end
have been on for some time and de-
cision to come to this city is now prac-
tically made. This industry has been
located at Lacon, H., since 1868. The
president is John Grieves, now resid-
ing in that city. The company already
has a reputation in its particular
field and the necessity of growth
which conditions in Lacon would not
permit caused the management to look
elsewhere for a location. The manu-
facture of cloth from raw wool is the
business of the corporation. Trouble
in obtaining enough hep. because of
their great distance from industrial
centers, is their reason for leaving
L&con to look for a better location.
Joliet seems to suit the purpose of the
company Efforts made by the Rotary
club Of Joliet are responsible for their
decision to come here.

ROCK ISLAND MAY
BID FOR REGATTA
This City One of Several Men
toned for 1914 Mississippi
Valley Races. =

keokuk, Iowa, Aug. 6.-Aside from
the interest displayed in the Missis-
sippi valley races at Keokuk, Aug.
20, % and 2Sth. middle west motor
boatmen are watching developments
in the promised contest over the next
annual regatta. Several cities are in
the field, including Rock Island, Mus
catin, Burlington and st. Paul. The
st. Paul and Minnetonka motor boat
clubs, the latter OF Minneapolis, are
combining their delegations to pull for
the racing classic on the upper river
in 1914. They believe that regatta
should be taken north to satisfy the
clubs of the northern portion of the
river. Burlington staged the original
regatta several years ago. and club
members there say the money has
been as good as pledged to guarantee
the 1914 event
Another matter of interest will be
the annual election of officers at the
keokuk convention. Charles P. Han
ley, present vice admiral of the asso-
citation. one of its organizers and most
industrious promoters, is being prom
lnently mentioned to succeed Joseph
Kelso, Jr., Of Bellevue, Iowa, as ad-
miral. Mr.. Hanley is city attorney at
Muscatine, Iowa, and is a recognized
authority on boat racing.

SUES FOR ARMY VACANCY
Major Ray Would Compel President to
Promote Him to Colonel.

Washington Aug 6.-Major Beech
err B. Ray, now stationed in Chicago,
began suit in the federal court here
yesterday to force the president 10
promote him to fill the vacancy in the
grade of colonel in the quartermaster's
corps. The case is brought under the
act which provides that promotions
shall be by seniority. Stephen A.
Day of Chicago represents Major Ray.
President Taft nominated Major Ray
TO the vacancy, but the senate at the
last session, following an investiga-
ton of Major Ray by house commit,
tee, failed to confirm him. Attorney
General McReynolds recently ruled
that the president is not compelled TO
promote Major Ray.
The government claims that the law
in question is unconstitutional because
the constitution vests in the president
the power of appointment and argues
that promotion in the army is an APP
pointment. Mr.. Day cited a long list
of precedents to establish the oppo
site

ager or owner, the cubs administered
a resounding spanking to Bill Dahlen's
upstairs. Tommy Leach was the
boss pro TEN, aud it may have
been the leadership of Thomas that
chased Nap Rucker to cover before
the game had hardly started and gave
the Trojans a ten-run lead after the
second frame was finished. Also T.
Leach may have advised Cy Fred Will
liams, the elongated recruit, to ham
mer out that homer with the bags load
ed in the second session, when Curtis
was trying do a rescue stunt. Whether
or not Mr.. Leach handled the reins
all the time, the Cubs collected six
teen hits for twenty-four bases and
galloped in Is to 2.
Consecutive hitting, daring base
running and a double inserted in time
of need by Tom Needham brought
the Cubs enough runs in the first four
sessions TO grasp the hand of victory
enough, in fact, to allow the West
Side athletes to loaf the rest of the
afternoon. George Piercefi the youth,
full southpaw, also contributed to the
victory by twisting one of his very
best games, holding the dodgers to
six widely scattered bingles and al

as to hit the right field scoreboard

MARQUARD FAILS

Pittsburgh, Pa, Aug. 6.-Marquard's
record for consecutive victories, which
was just beginning to blossom" was
shattered by the Pirate yesterday,
when they beat him, to 1. Vanguard

reel the Pirates began hitting to the

as to the length of time RUDE would

let up slightly and two hits result

turned into a marker.

BIC SHAKE-UP IN
CUB AGGREGATION
Leach to Succeed Evers Is Ru-
mor-Zimmerman Is Re-
duced to Ranks.

Has somebody thrown a monkey
wrench in the Cub machine? 1t looked
just trffle like it yesterday when it
was announced that Edward ReuIbach
had been traded for Eddie Stack of
Brooklyn and Mike Mitchell had been
sent on his way to Pittsburgh via the
waiver route. To complicate affairs,
President Murphy and Manager Evers
disappeared from the city early in the
day, but were located at Fort Wayne
last night, whittier the pair had wend-
ed their way in Mr.. Murphy's gasoline
buggy.
While the owner and manager we're
away new hand was at til throttle
in the person of Tommy Leach, who
masqueraded as captain, vice Hienie
Zimmerman, resigned. Some of the
players addressed him as manager,
which might be taken either as Iact
or prophecy. At any rate, Leach rcn
the team while Bresnahan was TAX
in orders, which again was not &C
cording to Hoyle and which strength
ems the suspicion that perhaps Mr.
Murphy is running the team without
outside leip.
The passing of Heinie Zimmerman
as captain of the team was not Off
cially given up by anyone except Hen
lie himself, and he should know. It
also took some skirmishing yesterday
to find out that Leach was running
the team, even though it was only for
a minute. In the meantime rumoT
after rumor chased around the null.
! berry bush on the West Side lot.
Would it be a permanent job fol
| Leach?
I What had happened to Bresnahan
( Had Evers resigned or did President
! Murphy find it necessary to take John
my on a 150-mile trip to impress or
the Trojan the necessity of abdicat
ing?
These and other dog day querie:
were answered thusly:
President Murphy knows his bust
ness. Tommy Leach will succeed
Johnny Evers as manager. If he sue
ceeds, well and good. If he fails Bres
nahan will be handed the reins ant
thus Mr.. Murphy will have made goot
use of his two-stringed bow"

CARDINAL TEAM Is
STILL ON MARKET

st. Louis, Mo, Aug. 6.-Since the
publication of the story that the entire

Higgins, big league teams in all parts
oe the country have rushed forward
with offers of trades of all kinds
PiEckers, outfielders, infelders. and

it won't be long before st. Louis has

CALLAHAN SLATED
FOR THE DISCARD?

Boston, Mass, Aug. Ga rumor
was industriously circulated in local
baseball circles yesterday to the effect
that Jake Stahl, former manager of
the Red Sox, is scheduled to succeed
Jimmy Callahan as manager of the
Chicago White SoX at the close of
the present year. Stahl has been
spending the summer, since his dis
missal, at Annisquam, but could not
be reached there yesterday. Some
of Stahl's close personal friends are
inclined to ridicule the idea that
Stahl will return to baseball.

KICK ON UMPS.

Umpire Bannon was slightly off Sun
day when it came to close decisions.
He gave Danville numerous close
ones, but the Turks failed to get even
one. Both sides kicked many times
on the decisions on balls and strikes,
but the worst was when he called
Whites foul safe. Bannon was not
looking in the direction of the drive at
the time, and it went foul at least two
feet. White scored later for the
Speakers second run. He also called
O'Brien out at the plate after George
had it beaten three feet.-Decatur
