CHILD LABOR BILL IN SENATE.
Bill Introduced by Owens Endorsed
by Leading Virginians.

Washington, Feb. Ex-senator
owen OF Oklahoma introduced
on Saturday the same federal
child labor bill which Mr. Palmer OF
Pennsylvania last month presented
in the House. 1t applies to factories

merce the 14-year age limit already
In force more or less comprehensIyely
In forty states. 1t regulates the en-
ployment OF children under 16 by H-
miting their working hours to eight
In one day, by prohibiting entirely
their employment at night in mills,
factories or workshops and ut any
time In mines or quarries.
The Virginia State Labor Commit
tee has unanimously endorsed the
old stronghold Of States Rights is
cinsidered by Owen r. Lovejoy, gene
raj secretary OF the National Child
Labor Committee to be an indication
OF the increasing demand by consum-
ers for goods that are free from the
faint OF child labor, Mr.. Lovejoy says
further:
THE National Child Labor Com.
mittee is actively working for the
passage OF this Owen-Palmer bill. II
is the first time a federal bill has
been introduced which is comprehen.
sive enough to be worth while and
simple enough to be enforceable. and
we are advised by able lawyers that
the provisions OF the bill are constitI.
tional 1t has been introduced by
Democrats but we hope il will be
supported, regardless Of party lines
by all who believe that young child.
ren should be freed from the burden
of wage-earning and that oldel
children be protected from overworE
and he dangers of mining"

BECKER ENTITLED
TO ANOTHER TRIAL
Court Of Appeals Reserves Decision
in Rosenthal Case-Little Hope
For Gnnmen

Albany, N. Y, Feb. 24.-The con
viction of Charles Becker, a former
New York police lieutenant of the
murder of Herman Rosenthal, today
was reversed and the conviction of
the four gunmen for the same crime
were affirmed by the court of Appeals.
Justice Goff, the cold held, erred in
many of his rulings in Bccker's trial
and appeared to he preiudicial in his
attitude toward the defendant. The
reversal was based solely on these
grounds. No attempt was made by
the court to say whether the weight
of evidence against Becker was sufi-
cient to warrant his conviction. 1t
was pointed out however that the tes-
timony against him was given by wit
nesses of low class and as much of
it was open to doubt, he therefore
was entitled to fairer trial than he
received.
ALL MEMBERS CONCUR.
All of the seven members of the
court, except Judge Werner. who act
ed as presiding Judge when the appeal
was argued, concurred in the prevail
ing Becker opinion which was written
by Judge HisCock In a dissenting
opinion Judge Werner said that the
main contentious of the state had
been amply proven to warrant convic-
ton
The much mooted question as to
the status of Sam Schepps, who the
Jury in the Becker case decided was
not an accomplice to the crime, stu
is unsettled. The prevailing opinion
merely said there was doubt in the
minds of some of the court as to the
propriety OF excluding Schepps as an
accomplice.
The decision in the case OF the four
gunner, "Gyp the Blood, D." Whitney"
Lewis, "Dago Frank" and Lefty
Louis" was unanimous. Thy had
averred that the evidence against
them was insufficient to warrant con-
viction, and also that the court had
erred In handling their case, but
these contentious were held to be
groundless.

Catching Spinning
Foot Ball Not the
Easiest of Tricks

NEW YORK. Oct. PA foot ball eX-
pert says: The art OF catching thrown
ball in the arms began to pass with the
development OF tossing spirals. AS the
ball is now thrown 1t spins rapidly upon
It's long axis. and is best caught in the
bands as basket ball is caught. This is
the surest way. In attempting to catch
1t in the arms the hard spinning ball
strikes the chest or stomach, sometimes
with vicious force. and in any event il
liable to bound out from the fingers and
thus be missed. In 1906, when the for
ward pass was first taken up, the old
end-over-end method of passing was in
vogue, and the ball. thus tumbling, was
only TO be caught in the arms, as arc
most OF the punts today. Not every
player, even today, can throw the swift,
straight spirals; there is knack about
Il. Beginners achieve it by pressing their
fingers against the laclng as the ball lies
in the palm OF the hand: as the pigskin
is thrown the spin is thus impaired by
the fingers. Good forward passers attain
the spin without having to bother where
their fingers are placed. It is a beautiful
sight as the bali comes along, spinning
sideways, speeding towards ones arms
like a small Zeppelin. Spirals can be
thrown extraordinary distances. Mike"
Boland OF Princeton makes nothing OF
sixty-yard tosses in practice. Cutler OF
the 1908 Harvard eleven was one Of the
first to achieve the perfect spiral throw;
Potter. also of Harvard, was another good
man, but Sprackling of Brown has never
been equaled in the east. Elevens am
bilious for success with the forward pass
would do well TO study the way in which,
Sprackiing and Ashbaugh used to
work it"

Five Thousand,

NEW YORK, Oct. 24.-If John ]. Evers,
captain OF the new worlds champions,
had broken his word OF honor last win
ter he would not have cleaned up ~. 900
this year for his services on the ball field.
When President Gaffney OF the Boston
Braves received permission from the Ma
tional league to negotiate with Evern
after the little Trojan had been declared
a free agent because Of the trouble with
Charles Webb Murphy. he took Evers
into a private room at the Waldorf
II want you TO sign with the Boston
club. Johnny" said Gaffney. IT am pre-
pared to talk terms with you now"
II have given my word to the Chicago
Federal league men. weeghman and
Tinker, that-f will talk with nobody un-
til they have named their terms" replied
Evers. But I will also promise TO come
back and accept your terms IL they equal
tho Chicago figures"
Your word is good enough for me, my
boy" responded the Boston magnate.
Go up to the Knickerbocker and see the
Feds. as you have agreed to do"
Evers promptly left Gaffney and ten
minutes later he was cioseted with Gil
more, weeghman. Tinker, Knabe, Han
lon and other FEDS. Evers was asked TO
count a big roll OF yellowbacks on the
table. lie counted $4,000 in cash. and
was told he could have It in advance IL
he would sign three-years' contract at
$4,000 year.
Sees Gaffney First.
"I'll have to see Gaffney first" sX-
planned Evers. as the Feds urged him 10
accept. 81 gave my word 1 wouldn't
sign with you before he had a chance to
do business with me-"
So Evers returned to the Waldorf, much
to the surprise of the Feds, and when
Gaffney met him Johnny related what
had happened.
Just because you kept your word,
Johnny, I'll give you bonus OF SIS, 900
in cash IL you will sign for three years
at $4,000 a year" said the Braves owner
III we finish first you will have an extra
5000 and also money coming from the
worlds SERIES
Evers signed up at once and he isn't a
bit sorry. Several years ago the little
second baseman lost his savings. $4,000
in a business venture in Troy. On top of
this he broke his leg during game with
the Cubs and also had an automobile
accident, in which Chicago newspaper
man. who was his closest friend. was
killed Evers became a nervous wreck
and did not play again until 1912 He sue
eeeded Chance as manager of the Cubs
two years ago and received another shock
when Murphy suddenly deposed him in
favor OF Hank o'Day. It's almost a
sure thing. that EveFs next year. will re
