From the Angle Of the Bug
BY REUBEN A. LEwIs


~ oLLoWfNG the strain OF double
headers. the Southern league
pitchers We're solved with ease
yesterday. Birmingham scored 10 runs
against the Bnlikens. Atlanta counted
a dozen against the Turtles Chatta-
nooga led with Ii tallies over the Grip
pied Pels. So telling is the effect of
working too often. that doubleheaders
are always followed by large scores,
Every season, following the Fourth,
the pitchers take perceptible weak
ening the following week. Although
there are a few moundsmen who can
twirl as often as every third day, the
average SALESMAN cannot do this siren
uous duty without losing his form.
This overtime pitching forced the Phil
lies to lower their colors, when Seaton
and Alexander faltered.
Although Montgomery is pressing the
Gulls for the lead of the Southern,
the Billikens do not appear to be pen
nant winners. With pitching staff of
four men, Johnny Dobbs is weakly for
titled with the siege of postponed
games fronting him. Unless another
moundsman is obtained, the Montgom-
cry club is due to crack.
In spite of the wonders of r. Brown
and c. Brown, Dobbs' crew seems des-
tined to drop down the ladder. Ex-
cepting Sloan. the Billikens are with
out 300 hitter. They do not include
a number of hard hitters and, with
the exception of the leaders, are with
out star. Birmingham should lead
the Billikens before the finish.
Large William McGilvray responded
to the call and starred with the will
low. There are few hitters in the
Southern in McGilvray's class and if
Bill RECEIVERS his form within few
days, he should land with 800 mark
for the season. Although Bill is grow
ing older, he is still a fine player in
spite of the recent setbacks.
In reviewing McGilvray's prowess
with the willow, the fact that he has
never batted less than .29S encourages.
Breaking in professional ranks in 1908,
MeGilvray batted .419 with the Denver
club. He led the league that season
and followed this feat with .303 mark
in 1904. Mack changed from the Griz-
lilies to Des Moines in 1905 and batted
.30S. He was purchased by Pueblo in
1906 and celebrated this change by
again leading the circuit with 375. In
1907 he continued his batting and land
ed with merry clip of 1856.
Harrisburg grabbed the hefty swats-
man in 1907 and Large William slugged
.323 with the switch TO the east. Moles-
worth drafted the first sacker for the
Barons in 1908 and for the first time i'm
his career. Bill went below the 800
mark in 1909. He slugged but .29S. The
following years, McGilvray always fin

OFFICIALS THINK
STRIKE ABOUT OVER
Majority of Extra Policemen Have
Been Dropped-No Statement
From Either Side Lately

1t is believed by the city officials
that the street car strike is about over.
Judge A o. Lane, who has been work
ing some $50 extra policemen in the
police department since the strike was
called, stated that nothing had been
heard froma either side in the contro-
versy for some time. that there was no
disorder of any kind for the past sew
eral days. that the street car company
was operating all lines on full schedule
and therefore it appeared the strike
was about over. The majority of the
extra police have been dismissed from
the force.
No statement has been forthcoming
lately from either the union organizers
or the street car company officials.
Strike headquarters are still being
maintained. Sore believe that the at
tempt to unionize the street car en-
ployes will now be allowed to gradu-
ally die out, while others are of the
opinion that a formal notice giving
up the strike will be issued by the
union officials in the near future.

SEVEN AVIATORS TO
ENTER 9O0-MILE RACE

Chicago July 7.-Seyen hydro-aero-
planes will start tomorrow from Chicago
on water and air trip to Detroit, 800
miles around the shore of the lower Pc
ninsula of Michigan.
The machines, each carrying driver
and a passenger. will rise at noon and
head for Michigan, Ind, the first control.
The schedule requires an average of 40
miles an hour between controls. Late ar

spoiled his chance for getting away
promptly with the other competitors to-

Although Southpaw Joe Boehling
found it difficult 10 win with the Look
outs last season, the portwheeler has
Just captured his seventh straight
game for Clark Griffith. The willy lead
er of the Nationals has shown the pa
tience of Job with the southpaw. for
he has held to him for four years in
face of the revefsals Boehling ex-
perienced.
While the southpaw seemed to be
endowed with a world of stuff In this
merry little circuit. he failed to master
control. However. Billy Smith de-
cided that Boehling vas not winner
and returned him to Washington Af-
ter several bad starts, Boehling has
mastered the command over the pellet
and is hailed as a wonder.
Keenly will the local fans watch the
performance of Pitcher Carl Thompson
with the Crackers. The announcement
that the collegian had been signed by
Atlanta was not received with surprise,
as Thompson is a favorite in Georgia,
where he starred with the university
team.
Although he. is endowed with the
necessary amount of stamina and
spirit Thompson lacks the experience.
While he did not mingle with the Bar
ons as an equal, Thompson did not
lose because the Barons did not care
to support him. While the pitcher rode
out to the ball park in some cities in
a private taxi, the Barons did not
harbor any i'll feelings against him.
What he will achieve with the Crack
ers remains to be seen.
Rube Evans is slated to heave this
afternoon with the celebrated Elmer
Brown. hailed as the leagues best
right handler, as his adversary. While
the southpaw was the victim of i'll
luck on his last trial, it is believed that
he will wage a pretty contest this
afternoon. The southpaw has had lit
tie rest but states the more work he
gets the better form he shows.
The. Montgomery club should sell
Brown for a neat sum to the majors.
Although he is not the easiest chap
in the world to manage, Brown is a
splendid SALESMAN. The game should
be a hummer.

POPE LONG SHOWS
HIS REAL MODESTY

p M. Long, United States marshal,
whose term of office expires January IA,
announced yesterday that he would not
apply to President Wilson to reappoint
him.
Out of the fullness of his modesty ahd
consideration for the democratic victors,
MIR. Long said nothing could cause him
to ask for this rather lucrative job from
the democratic chief executive. Mr.. Long
has served as United States marshal for
some years. i'aving been appointed by I.
Roosevelt and subsequently by w II.
Taft.
Mr.. Long laughngly remarked yester-
day that the office was rather satisfac-
tory, but he cid not feel endowed with
sufficient assurance to ask for reappoint-
nent under the democratic administra-
tion. Even when told that he might stand
a better chance frcm some past indica-
iions than d democrat Mr. Long was not
shaken from his determination.
There are at this time many applicants
for the post to be vacated by Mr.. Long.

fore Leaving the City

President culpepper Exum of the city
commission is still on the fence. He stated
Yesterday that he still had not made up
his mind as to whether or not he would

next few days or before he leaves for n
summer vacation. 1t is understood the

take steamer for the north. Mr. Exum
is expected TO announce before this time
and is also expected to announce that he
will be a candidate.
George B. Ward and ]. R. Hornaday,

ponents to Mr. Exum, if he enters the

DYNAMITE WAS
/. P|TMAN'S PLANT
Man Who Supplied the EX-
plosive to Incriminate
Lawrence Strikers and
Who Afterward Suicided
is Mentioned in Trial

BOSTON, May 22.-Ernest Pitman
supplied the dynamite which was
planted during the textile strike. ac
cording to evidence introduced by
the state today at the trial of William
B. Wood, president of the American
Wooden company; Frederick f. At
teaux and Dennis J. Collins, charged
with conspiracy to discredit the strik
ers by planting dynamite at Law
renee.
The suicide of Pitman the morn
ing he was to have appeared as a
witness before the judges investigating
the alleged conspiracy cases, created
a sensation a the time. AS building
contractor, he erected the Wood build
ing owned by the American Wooden
company. Rumors that he had knowl-
edge of the dynamite plots were met
by the assurances of his intimates
that Pitman was driven to take his
life on account of business failures.
When John Breen. who confessed to
actually planting the dynamite, con-
cluded his testimony today. the prose-
cution called William H. Rice, a prop
erty owner of Milton. Rice testified
that Pitman obtained a quantity of
| dyna mite from his quarry, alleging he
wanted it for q construction job.
Rice said he had accompanied Pit
man to Boston and saw the latter
deliver the dynamite to Breen. Later
on cross examination, he admitted he
had lied completely about the dyna-
, mite plot but insisted he told the
truth on the witness stand. He ad-
/ nlitted he named Atteaux with which
to settle the damage suit brought
/ about by persons who had been ar
rested after the explosives had
been found on their premises He
claimed, however, he was asking only
| for money which he thought Ateaux
should furnish because he was in
volved in the conspiracy The trial
will be resumed tomorrow

ACTIVITY IN
WASHINGTON
Are Seeking Reclamation Of
Power in Congress and
Are Also Comforting on
Plan to Reconcile the
Divided Party
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1skArcu1


WASHINGTON, May 22.-With the
republican senators urging joint
senate house caucus for the imme-
diate reorganization of the congress
ional campaign committee to seek the
reclamation of republican power in
congress, next year and with pro-
gressive republicans comforting on
plans to reconcile the divided party
and the members of the national eX-
ecutive committee assembling for a
meeting here on Saturday, Washing
ton became today a beehive of re-
publican activity
The most significant party develop
ments since the defeat of last No
vember, came It a conference of re-
publican and progressive republican
senators held early today to institute
the reorganization of the congression-
al campaign committee which the
house leaders have futilely attempted
for several weeks Thirty-one sena-
tors attended the conference presid-
ed over by Senator Gallinger and
with almost unanimous approval a
committee was appointed to confer
with the house leaders with a view
of holding a joint caucus as soon as
possible to clear away party diff
cultieS.
The prevailing opinion at the SEN
atOrial conference was that the con-
greSsiOnal committee would be re-
organized at once. with representation
from the senate well as house, fol-
lowing a suggestion from President
Wilson and adopted by democrats
and that headquarters will be estab-
Iished, publicity campaign inau-
gurated and definite campaign poll
cies outlined as early as possible.
The leaders pointed to the person.
mel of this consulting committee as
an indication of general effort to
reunite the party, its members con-
sisting of both progressive republi-
cans and regulars. The committee
members are Senators Gallinger,
Townsend Clark of Wyoming. Norris
and Jones These will consult with
house republicans and expect to find
no opposition to a joint caucus.
