some HOPE NOW FOR
RECOVERY OF WALKER
Physicians See Some I'm.
prOVCmGRt

Macon, Ca, May 19.-Attending ply
sicians today entertained hope for the
ultimate recovery of B. Sanders Wal
ker.
For the first time since he accident
ally swallowed a bichlnride cf mercury
tablet last Thul2:3d krning, there
was a change in Mr. Walkers condi-
ton today, which was very gratifying
20 his physicians. Without commit,
ting themselves, they state that the
chAnge today is distinctly favorable.
and is sufficient to justify hope that
the unfortunate young man may ul-
timately recover.
Mr.. Walker has sat up in bed prac-
tically all of the morning. He has a
full realization of his precarious
condition, and is able to talk a little,
though his throat gives him pain
when he talks much. He is thoroughly
conscious. Until yesterday Mr..
Walker did not feel that he was going
to die, and repeatedly declared that
he was going to get well. However, he
was advised to expect the worst and
then he calmly resigned himself to
what seemed his fate. Today he is re-
ported as being greatly improved
1t was feared that Mr.. Walkers
kidneys had been so affected by the
poison that they were permanently
paralyzed, or CONCEALED, but today
there was manifestation which leads
the doctors to think that there is a
chance for him.
In practically all of the churches Of
Macon yesterday, Catholic and Pro-
testant, prayers were said for Mr.
Walkers recovery. His pathetic Gaze
was also commented upon from several
pulpits during the course of the ser
mons.
That even nationwide interest is
being taken in Mr.. Walkers case i,
shown by the desire Of papers in all
sections TO have news of his. condi.

lin ALIMONY CLUB
BY 3-MINUTE MARGIN

New York, May 19.-Because Ed
mond j. Hayes watch was three min
utes late, he is in Ludlow street jail,
awaiting bail to guarantee that h.
will pay alimony to Mrs. Catherine
Hayes.
An arrest on a civil order cannot
be served on Sunday, so Hayes, who
is printer, came here Sunday to visit
friends. He knew that detectives en-
gagged by his former wife were on his
track. But he knew he had nothing to
fear from them on Sunday.
He had declared that instead of pay
ing his former wife the $40 a month
Justice Kelly had ordered he would
keep out of New York state, hence he
could only see the Great White Way
SaIely on ounudy.
Hayes punched one of the men, but
another pointed a gun at him and
showed a deputy sheriff's badge. Then
Hayes decided to come on" and land
ed in the Ludlow street alimony club
When he got there he found that, his
watch was just three minutes slow and
he had overstayed his limit by that
time.
Hayes says he will remain in the
Jail two or three years" before he
will pay a cent alimony,

sTovALL, s2 TOMORROW, QUITS
 BROWNS TO BECOME "oUTL.AW'

After a season with the St. Louis Browns, any man with red gore in his veins is likely to do something des- perate, such as jumping from the roof of a. twenty-story building, or Joining an outlaw league. Nobody was sur prised, therefore, when it was rumor- ed, to the extent of several columns of solid nonpareil, that George Stovall, the deposed pilot of the Browns, in tends to leave organized baseball to it's fate, and assume the management of the Kansas City club of the 'out- law Federal League. Since the close of the baseball season, Stovan has been the principal subject of conver- sation at the sessions of the Hot Stove League It has been alleged that he would manage the Toledo Mud Hens, in the American Association, during the coming year, and also that he would sign a contract to cover the in itial bag for Frank Chances High flanders. As pilot of the Browns, Stovau is said to have received .$7,o00 a year. and it is reported that the Federal League magnates have offer ed him similar salary.
 StovalI is a native of the ShoW-Me State, having been born at Leeds, Mo, thirty-two years ago come tomorrow. The big six-footer first baseman start ed his baseball career with Seattle, in the Pacific Northwest League, as Q pitcher in 1902. In the very first game he threw his arm out, and later he went to Pendleton, Ore. in the In land Empire League. He concluded his first lesson as professional base ball player at Portland, Ore, where he played first base. The next season he was with San Francisco and Salt Lake City in the Pacific National League, and had another try at pitch ing. but failed to make good and re- turned to first base He began the 1904 season with Burlington, Ia., where he was manager, but in July he was bought by Cleveland, and re- mained with the Maps until he went to the Browns as manager. Early last season he was suspended for time just because he spat at an umpire, but he was reinstated after a letter of apology and the payment of a fine. It is alleged that he was dismissed from the management of the Browns because he was dickering with the Federal Leaguers, and using his in fuence to induce some of the other St. Louis players to follow his example.
