GIRLS CHARACTERS MAKE NO DIFFERENCE, HE HOLDS, IF
 DlGGS PAID THE FARE.
PROSECUTION IS OUTLINED
Jury Is Composed Entirely of Bus- ness Men, Ten of Whom Are Married, Six Being Fa-
 thers of Daughters.

San Francisco, Aug. 9.-Taking of testimony in the trial of Maury l. Diggs on the charge of having con spired to violate the Mann law pro- ceeded with the prosecution proclaim ing absolute confidence of a convic- tion by reason of Judge Van Fleets ruling on the question of the char acter of women in such cases.
 Just before court adjourned last night Judge Van Fleet gave a ruling that touched the vitals of the case. F. J. Peck, real estate dealer from Reno, whither Maury I. Diggs and F. Drew Caminetti eloped with Marsha Warrington and Lola Norris from their homes in Sacramento, was on the stand. In cross-examination the defense sought to show that the bun galow they occupied in Reno was not on the outskirts of the city and had been rented with no view to seques- tration and concealment.
 T don't see," interposed Judge Van Fleet, "how it can make any differ ence to this case if they went there openly or secretly and clandestinely Unless the government can show that they went there for the purposes pro- hibited by the Mann act, then the case of the government fails. Even if the women were public characters, if the defendant procured their trans portation and accompanied them there for immoral purposes, the case of the government would stand" Theodore Roche of special counsel for the government set forth boldly and tersely what the prosecution would attempt to prove.

g. That after the return to Sacra- mento Diggs had written to Marsha Warrington from Berkeley, adjuring her to keep up her courage and that all would end we'll if she would re- member what he told her, particularly if she was firm in denying that there had been any improper relations be- tween them.
 There was scant time for taking testimony before adjournment came. After the case had been outlined, Roche introduced Diggs' marriage li- cense and identified it by George D. Leslie, statistician.
 J. H. Stevens, vice-president of a Sacramento bank, identified Diggs' handwriting on checks and notes as the same as that shown him in which a letter to Marsha Warrington was penned. Cross-e examination did not shake the witnesses and objection to the introduction of their testimony was overruled.
 The jury is comprised entirely of ouSlhOoS lhOh, "StiNO VI icthSu, anu includes one retired liquor dealer and one friend of a former partner of Diggs, ST. This friendship, the juror was sure, would not influence his yer dict and his assurance was satisfac- tory to the court

and Boston and Brooklyn, have not
improved greatly. An even split does
not look like an impossibility and is
about all that can be asked with Zim-
norman out of the game. Heinie
will be back shortly, however, and
he is needed, Notwithstanding Evers'
declaration that the team is just as
strong without him.
The White Sox had a terrible time
reaching "home" in two games
against Cleveland yesterday, but
managed to accomplish the feat to-
day in a Pullman car. The swS 3
among the three Western cities of
the American League resulted in four
wins, the same number Of defeats,
and one tie, for the Hose. The record
wasn't so bad, but could have been
improved with decent fielding and
batting in one or two games that
went the wrong way.
AS far as pitching is concerned,
the regular men are beginning to
show the effects of too much labor.
Russell and Scott have been the most
dependable beavers in Manager Cal
lahan's stable and the boss has kept
them busy. Russell pitched the sec
ond game of the Fourth of July dOu-
ble-headeT in St. Louis and won it.
He was sent against the Maps yesteT-
day with only a day of rest and what
the swatsmen under Birmingham did
to him was a plenty. Six hits in four
innings, as many blows as Reb usu-
ally yields in a full game, finished
him for the afternoon and Benz was
the next victim slaughtered. Russell
might have been able to pitch with
only one days rest if he had not been
tired from frequent appearances on
the mound in the last two weeks.
AS rescUer and starter, he has taken
part in at least a third of the games

a mess Of trouble for their chief gum
neT. Cleveland scored six runs on its
seven hits.
Some fine examples of how not to
hit were given by the Gals in the
second, Willie Mitchell and his left
fin holding them to a measly bingIe
by Weaver, who clOuted a short one
to left in the sixth inning. In the
ninth with one out Mitchell filled the
bases with passes, but the next two
batteTs were as helpless as a girl try
ing to get a seat on a street car at
$50 p. m. Some heIplessness.
Kid Smith Of Birmingham had an
other twO-inning workout and gave
the Maps only one hit in two frames.
Maybe they were tired and didn't
want to run, but this is the second
time in a week that the kid has
pulled such a performance. Finishing
lost games doesn't get you a whole
lot of honor in the percentages, but
it's fine experience and the big guns
all say you ought to be willing to
work for nothing to get experience.
The Smith party may even be allow
ed to pitch three innings some day.
Frank Chance, who can play base
ball and spin the platter, but not for
feits," will be a visitor Wednesday,
heading his Yanks into town for a
tilt with the Sox. They will be fol-
lowed by Boston, Washington and
the Athletics, though the Mackmen
are not usually in the following bust
ness. ROIlie Zeider may be in the first
game against his old pals, as his in
juTed bUniOns have been carefully
nursed. BoTtOn will be on first base.
The Pirates won more games yes
terday than they have for a week,
taking a dOUble-header from Cincin-
natl through hard hitting and the
good pitching of Hendrix and Adams.
