The aged Standard Oil magnate was
closeted with the committeeman for
only IL minutes. At the end of the
time he was assisted in to his couch
by DR.. Walter F. Chappelle, who de.
clared his patient exhausted.
In Mr.. Rockefeller's suite in an
apartment house on the isolated is
land that forms the estate of the en-
elusive millionaire's club Of Jekyl is
land, the 72-year-old Standard Oil
magnate submitted to the questions.
There ended the six months search
OF the government process servers
who sought the reluctant witness from
New York TO the Bahamas and lay
siege TO his New York home.
The net result of the examination,
so far as the money trust investiga.
lion was concerned, added practically
nothing OF value to the record, II
did demonstrate to the satisfaction of
Mr.. Untermyer and Mr.. Pujo that
Mr.. Rockefeller was hardly a fit sub
ject physically for a gruelling exami-
nation on the details of his financial
career.
Members Of the Jekyl Island club
and DIR. Walter F. Chappelle shook
their heads doubtfully when asked
about Mr. Rockefeller's physical con-
ditiop.
mr.. Rockefeller is In a very serious
state" the doctor said.
New Growth Formed.
He added that a new growth of a
malignant nature had formed in Mr..
Rockefeller's throat and that serious
developments were to be expected at
any time.
The examination was delayed for a
time by a conference between counsel
for the prospective witness and Mr..
U~ntermyer, but the in9uisitors finally
were ushered into a large drawing
room where Mr.. Rockefeller, bent and
shaking, sat in a large arm chair be-
side a glass topped table.

Especial to the Newark star


TORONTO, May Manager Joe
Kelley took fiier in the face Of fate
when he sent Johnny Lush to face
Harry Smiths Newark Tigers in the
opening game Of the season at the
Island stadium yesterday.
There was no particular reason
why Manager Kelley should have
chosen Lush, who is exceptionally err
ratio in the spring. and was ineffec-
tive against Newark all last season.
Lush. however. kept the Tigers hits
scattered and Toronto won, runs
TO 1.
Before the game both teams lined
up and marched across the field TO
the strains of martial music There
were floral presentations TO Joe KEEL
ley and the Toronto champions and
the grandstands were In gay attire.
Manager Smith Of the Newark Club
sent Johnny Enzmann to the mound,
and he should not have been beaten.
The enemy had only one earned run,
in which two scratch hits figured.
The other three Toronto TALES were
largely the result of errors by Hig-
gins, Eddie Zimmerman and Bert
Tooley.
Newark was the first to break the
ice In the run-getting. Dalton sin
gled in the second inning, took third
on a hit by Eddie Zimmerman and
scored on Gagnier's safety. With E.
Zimmerman holding second base and
Gagnier on first base, O'Hara delib-
erateiy dropped Higginsis short ny
and then threw TO Holly for a double
play Neither Zimmerman nor Gag
nier had moved off their bases, ex-
pecting a catch. O'Hara had only
to throw to Holly. who touched cat
E. Zimmerman, and then stamped his
foot on second base, forcing Gagnier

Six Riders from AntipOdes Will
Meet at VelOdrOme
Sunday.
KRAMER IN NEWARK 1000"

The Australian cyclists who, ex-
cept for Champion Frank Kramer,
are pretty much the whole show at
the velodrome, will have the centre
of the stage at the local track Sun

from the Antipodes racing here at
present, and they will come together
in race called the Australian
championship.
The starters will be Jackie Clarke,
ALT Grenda, Ernie Pye. Paddy Hehir,
Alfred Goullet and Gordon Walker.
These riders represent the cream of
the Australian talent, although two
very good sprinters from the land OF
the kangaroo, Jack Speers and Rob-
ert Mcnamara, who at least would
have a chance in this race, are now
on the high seas and heading for
Newark. They are making their way
here via the Suez canal and are due
the latter part of May.
The Australian championship"
will be run. in heats of one mile. The
winner will have to take two heats.

purse of $1,000. Last year Kramer
took this race, with Joe Fogler Sec
ond and Leon Comes. the Frenchman,
third.
The two-mile invitation and the
handicap will be restricted races. in
which only invited riders may COM
pete. Champion Kramer will COM
pete only in the Newark Thousand

Wins in Row.
sUBURBANITES BAT HARD

The clever pitching of Gilmore en-
abled the Seton Hall College nine to
shut out the ST. Johns College team
by score of 9 to 0 at Setonia Field,
South Orange, yesterday afternoon.
Gilmore held his opponents to six
scattered hits and made twelve bats
men Whit the air. Besides, he failed
to pas sa single man. and prevented
any of his opponents from reaching
third base.
The suburbanites showed their old
form, and every player backed up his
pitcher in an almost perfect manner
The batting of Morris, who prac-
tically won the game for Setonia
against Holy Cross last week, was a
feature of yesterdays battle. In five
trips to the plate he connected safely
four times. Fish had three hard
drives, one of which was good for a
double A total of twelve clean wall
lops Were secured from the delivery of
Carey, who toed the mound for the
visitors. This makes the fourth con-
secutive victory for Seton Hail. all Of

Everything points to an alright
race between four or possibly five
clubs for the American League PEN
nant.
Although appearances might -indi-
cate that the Eastern teams are
stronger than that of the West, no
real comparison can be made until
the clubs representing the two sec
lions clash.
The Athletics and Washington are
the strongest Eastern teams, and
Cleveland has shown up better than
any of the teams in the West.
When the Athletics, Washington
and Boston meet Cleveland, Detroit,
Chicago and st. Louis, the test will
come.
Under Manager Birmingham, Cleve-
land is a different team from those
which have represented the city
since the organization of the Amer
lean League.
Birmingham has added brains to
the Maps game. He has shown the
fans more than any man who has
had the position.
Birmingham has the nerve to try
something new when confronted with
situation demanding action. he
switches his lineup to meet the occa-
sion; he resorts to every trick in the
game to get runs; he has team of
fast young players who run the bases
as IL they were trying to get some-
where.
'.Pepper" is Birmingham's middle
name. The old, listless Cleveland
team is no more. Under Birmingham
the men are on their toes, fighting for
everything, instead of sitting about
like men with the sleeping sickness.
Cleveland may not win the pennant,

Yale Athletes IN Gloom.

NEW HAVEN, May with Yale
scheduled to meet Princeton on track
and field Saturday there is gloom here
over the apparent ruin OF what bid
fair to be a fine team constructed
out of almost raw material. The
latest reverse for the Ellis comes with
the announcement that W. F. Potter.
jr, the crack hurdler, is threatened
with appendicitis. Potter won the
hurdles at the Boston A. A. indoor
meet and was making fast time over
the sticks before he was taken i'll.
Another man who is slowly recov-
ering from injuries is George Brown,
one Of the best half milers and de-
pended on to hustle John Paul Jones
in the Intercollegiate. Brown was a
star at Exeter and showed consistent
ly good form in the early meets on
Yale Field.

CLEVELAND TEAMS WORK THIS YEAR

but the team that-aoes them to 1t will

pitchers of the day-a left-hander,
capable of going and winning IS or 40
games with the sort of support he is
getting
In Joe Jackson and Lajoie' the club
has two of the greatest batters base
ball has ever known. Lajoie, sup
posed to be ready to retire to his
poultry farm last fall, has taken a
new lease on life, and his batting Is
like That of the Napoleon of five or
six years ago. Lajoie is still the king
of second basemen, the all-important
pivot man of the infield-Jackson Is
the deer-footed centre fielder, whose
defensive work equals his batting.
Around this trio Birmingham has
built up combination of youngsters
| including Johnston. splendid hitter
and fast base-runner, on first, and
Chapman, the lightning shortstop
whose batting, base-running and
| fielding were the sensation last year
| in the American Association.
| In addition to his pitching star,
Gregg, Manager Birmingham has the
come back, Fred Falkenberg, hui
man silver, who has performed
splendidly; Willy Mitchell, Banding
Steen and Baskette, and his recruit
southpaw, Cullop, from whom great
things are expected. The team Is
well fortified behind the bat.
But the thing that makes CleVe-
land look better than ever before is
that Birmingham Is playing new
baseball-the kind that wins games.
