PAGE MAKES A CONFESSION
Solon From Vermont Says His Efforts of Five Years as "Insidious Lop-
 byist'' Go for Naught.

Washington, Sept. At least one member of the senate of the United States has confessed his misdeeds. His name is Page. He comes from Vermont. He stood on the senate floor when the sugar tariff schedule was being disposed of and pleaded for little more protection for the maple sugar of his state.
 "I plead guilty" he said hesitating- ly, "to having been an insidious lob byist for the past five years, and now 1t all goes for naught."
 Democratic and Republican mem bers alike nodded solemnly Then one by one they chuckled. For scarcely man among them had not accepted from Page of Vermont, along in March of each year these past five seasons, box of the finest maple sugar that ever reached the capital. It was lobby gift that reached the spot.
 Senator Williams for the Democrats tried to explain why maple sugar did not need governmental bounty, but he had been caught in Pages net along with the others, and the best he could do was set the senate laughing Page lost his tariff argument by margin of only two votes-the closest roll call yet had on the bill.

NEW YORK STATES ATTORNEYS GET FUGITIVE OUT WITH
 HABEAS CORPUS WRIT.
AUTOMOBILE KEPT WAITING
Authorities, Who Expect to De- liver Him to Jerone's Forces
 for Flight Over Border.

Sherbrooke. Quebec, Sept. 4.-Har- ry Thaw lost his fight to defy deporta- tion by remaining in the Sherbrooke jail. Judge Hutchinson sustained a writ of habeas corpus calling for his release.
 The immigration authorities imme- diately took charge of Thaw, and they expect to deport him at once.
 New York state authorities have completed all arrangements to rusT him in a high-powered motor car across the state of Vermont and back to Matteawan.
 The fight of the Thaw attorneys to prevent the removal of their client across the line from where he may be rushed into New York and back to Matteawan must now be made before the immigration authorities.
 Attorneys for New York state will make an immediate attempt to get an order for his deportation. Then they plan to rush him across the border in an automobile toward the New YoTN state line before his attorneys can take further legal action, and once in the state he will be returned to Mat teawan without delay.
 Contrary to expectations, educated Roger" Thompson, the chauffeur who drove the car in which Harry K. Thaw escaped from Matteawan, was on hand for trial on the charge of bringing lunatic into the Dominion.
 The people of Sherbrooke have lost interest in Thompson and paid little attention to the arrangements for his trial.
 Thompson's case was continued un- til next Wednesday, by consent of both sides.

JACK DALTON HAS A PERFECT BATTING
EYE AND RARELY GOES AFTER BAD ONES

and Jack has come close to Gripping
many pitchers.
1t is Daltons opinion that fewer
batters would be "beaned" II they
did not make up their mind before
hand that a pitcher was going to
curve one over instead Of shooting in
a fast one. Dalton Is proving his
value as one of the best lead-off men
in the league. IL not the best. He has
reached first base twice on an aver
age in every game he played for
Newark this season.
Dalton depends mostly on his eye
and therefor takes a short swing.
That is why he does not make as
many long drives as some of the fell
lows who larrup the ball hard but do
not land 1t in safe territory, as often
as Jack does.
Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1913-07-11

Jack Dalton strikes at fewer bad
balls than any player in the Inter
national League. Jack has bat
ting eye that is as nearly perfect
as a hitting orb" can be. Very sell
dom does Jack take a cut at bad
one, and for that reason he receives
many bases on balls. Some hitters
depend on outgussing the pitcher to
do their slugging.
Dalton seldom makes up his mind
that a certain ball Is going to como
over the pan, and for that reason
he very seldom makes a wild lunge
at the sphere. Dalton guages the
pill and judges it to nicely. meet
ing 1t squarly most of the time a
foot or two in front of the plate.
Many of his hits go through the box

The Athletics lost; but Cleveland is
not selling seats for the worlds series
yet. Connie could drop several more
and still remain far enough In the
lead to laugh.
Cravath did not get hit in four
times up, but Jack Miller robbed him
of one. The Pirate flrst-sacker
stabbed a vigorous clout with one
hand and threw to McQuillan, who
covered first.
Fred Clark is said to be angling for
Cosey Dolan. Rumor has it that the
Pirate chief would give Hendrix, the
star pitcher of the club, for the
Quaker inflelder. If obtained, Cosey
would become permanent successor
to Hans Wagner, who has probably
played his last game.
Dolan batted in hard luck yester-
day. One of his liners almost knocked
Jack Miller down, but was caught.
