The Rivadavia is being tried on
displacement of 1866 tons, but her full
load displacement, with full allowance
of coal, stores, ammunition, crew, etc,
will be in the vicinity of 10000 tons. it

New York. Sept. 14.-Ground was
gained, last week, by both the major
league leaders in line for worlds
championship honors and money, and
with both the Giants and Athletics
playing a stronger and more consist

there seems hardly chance remain

or coming out with fewer victories
than defeats, as has been their habit
in recent seven day playing periods,
jumped into a winning squirt the mo-

last swing around the Western circuit.
History repeated itself so far as the
American League contenders were
concerned. While the Athletics drop

series, the Clevelands broke under the

into position, where the Mackmen
would have had the fight of thels
lives for championship laurels.
Washington, Cleveland's Nemesis
since the early days of the Ameri-
can League, has thus to all appear
ances, put the final check upon the
Maps chances for the flag and, III
the last few days, even the Cleveland
title to second place has been threat

In the National League, the Giants
got a flying start for a runoff on
their Western trip by beating Brook

straight victories gave them a clean
victory for the week up to the second
game of yesterdays double header
when they met their first reverse.

Thousands of persons lined the rocky

Their lead as the week opened was
an even eight games. exactly the same
as seven days previous. And even
though they met defeat in Chicago.
today, their advantage is SO command
ing that they would have to lose the
greater majority OF their games from
now on while Philadelphia was win
ming steadily to give the Quakers a
lookin for ultimate h0nors.
Unlike the Clevelands, the Phillies
have not broken. having kept even
pace with the Giants on victories and
defeats, through the week. They are
now playing the same strong game
that they did early in the season. on
more than one occasion, this year,
they have shown a come back ability
which has kept them from being even
threatened for the place and always
within striking distance of the team
out in front, should the latter falter
seriously. Seaton and Alexander divid-
cd, last weeks four victories between
them and Rixey only lost his decision
by single run in extra innings
But if there is nothing the matter
with the Quaker pitching staff, the
Giant boxmen. with the possible ex-
ception of Marquard are showing equal
class. Marquard, indeed, won his only
game of last week, but was mauled
with some severity by the Cubs as the
new week opened. Mathewson, Tes-
reau and Demaree. however, are
swinging along in Worlds Series form,
and as Merkle, DOYLE and Meyers seem
to have recovered their batting eyes.
the team as a whole is again hitting
well behind its star tWirlers. Demaree,
by the way is working up a remark

police he had taken the mattress on
which she lay when she received the
death blow. under cover of darkness,
to a vacant lot nearby and burned it.
The police found in the apartment
among other things a marriage license
issued in New York, last February,
and bearing the names of priest and
the murdered woman. According to
Schmidts confession, he went through
a marriage ceremony with the girl. In
this ceremony Schmidt was both
priest and bridegroom, there We're no

A gaily colored pillow slip of I'M

prehension. This pillow slip, stained
with blood and soiled with the filth
of the river was wrapped around a
portion of the torso The detectives
traced the slip to its manufacturer,
the manufacturer traced it to the
dealer; the dealer traced it to
Schmidt And the police, tracing
Schmidt and the girl, knew all about
both of them hours before they ar
rested him.
Schmidt was arrested by Inspector
Faurot, in charge of the detective bu-
reau. He was dressed in full clerical
garb when the detective entered his
rooms in the parish house of his
church in West 125th street The in
spcctor had produced a photograph
of Miss Aumuller and asked Schmidt
if he knew the girl. The priest, after
"a moment of hesitation. inquired if his
visitors were police officers. His ac-
tons indicated that he was expect
ing arrest He then requested permits
sion to change his clothes and it was
when he left the room that Inspector
Faurot declared that he attempted to
cut his throat with a safety razor
