CLEVELAND, May 3.-Never be-
fore In the history of baseball has
there been so many star first base
men in the big leagues as there are
this season. There are sixteen clubs
in the two major leagues. and the
initial station in every one is well
looked after. In the American league
Philadelphia has McInnis, st. Louis
Stovall, Detroit Gainor, Cleveland
Johnson, Chicago Borton, Washington
Gandil, Boston Janvrin and New York
Chance and Chase. The last named
started the season at second, but the
general opinion Is that Chance will
retire in favor of Chase before the
season is a few months old. In the
National league New York has Mer-
kle, Brooklyn Daubert, Philadelphia
Luderus, Chicago Safer and Catcher
Archer to I'LL in, Boston Meyers, St.
Louis Konetchy, Pittsburgh Miller
and Cincinnati Hoblitzel. Last year
Boston was weak at the initial station
but landed a good man in HI Meyers
this season. He has been playing a
fine game for the Braves since the
campaign started. Two other young
sters are showing up well at bag No.
1. They are Borton of the Chicago
White Sox and Johnson of the Cleve-
land Maps. Judging by their present
form, II is more than likely that the
pair will make other leading lights
in the position look to their honors
before the season ends.

She apparently woke the drunken man from his stupor and offering her a five cent piece he man aged to bring her close to him. He grabbed her by the shoulders and at tempted to carry her within a, door way. The child's screams attracted the attention of Philip Phillippi and George B. Kat7 in the nedghborho They ruehed to her assistance and forced Johnson away from the little girl and sent for PahroImen Barton and Kane
 When the officers arrived a large crowd was collecting and nnurmers of indignation were heard With presence of mind the officers sent a special telephone call for the 4patroI and hustled the negro to police headquar- ters A confession of the. details of the assault was made by the prisoner toa Capt.
