 Judge Carter's Services

linn Sales was convicted in circuit conrt here yesterday afternoon on a charge of perjury and sentenced to me year in the penitentiary.

One too Many.

A street car in charge of a newly appointed Irish conductor had just left the car barn for the downtown run. Before it had proceeded many blocks it was boarded by an inspector says Harper's Weekly. This official, after a glance at the register and the occupants of the car, asked, in surprise, "Why, O'Flaherty, how's this? You have seven passengers, and the register shows but six fares rung up"
 t"Begorra, is that so2" puzzled the green conductor Then instantly happy solution of the difficulty struck him. Git out o'here, wan O yez!" he shouted. "There's wan too many O yez on this carl"

STATE BANKING DEPARTMENT
 HAVING SALUTARY INFLUENCE
Require Five Reports Annually and After this Year Examiners will Make Two Examinations An
 nually of Each Bank.

Little Rock, July, 24-"The oper- ations of the State Banking Depart ment is having a most salutary in fluence upon the banking institutions of Arkansas" declared State Bank Commissioner John w. Davis. Some of the weaker banks impressed as never before with the responsibilities of their position. They are made to realize that it is not merely an idle honor to be a bank director,
 "We are requiring five reports an nually from each of the 450 banks in our jurisdiction, and after this year our examiners will make two eXamin- ations annually of each bank. The stockholders as well as the deposit ors must be kept fully informed of the condition of the bank This fact it. self will make them more careful And when the directors realize, as they do now, that they are to be held strictly liable for all the obligations if the bank should fail, they will be more careful in its management. One of the missions of the Banking De parment is to see to it that the direc- tors really direct"

has tried to work the batters. Bres-
nahan has coached him to pitch what
the stickers don't want, and some
times Jim gets into such hole by so
doing that he is forced to deal out
a pass. But he and Roger recover at
the dangerous moment, and breeze
through without danger.
Two hits were sWatted by the Phils
for two runs in the first inning yes
terday. After that jim settled and
kept them subdued handily.
Bresnahan, who has been off color
in the last two days, caught nifty
game and collected a double and sin
gle, the twO-bagger heading the fifth
inning rally. None of the Phils at
tempted to steal on Roger.
The game brought out the fact that
ballplayers as a rule know less about
the rules than the spectators. Jim
Archer was the gent who offended. 1t
is a fact that has been commented on
before that with the exception of
some Of the willy athletes, none Of the
men actively in the game consider it
necessary to pay any attention to the
actions OF the rules committee.
Ercher's slip came over the new
rule which prohibits cOacher laying
his hands on a baserunner at third
base. Frequently this spring there has
been trouble over this rule, and the
umpires have enforced it rigidly. In
fractions have been widely heralded
in the newspapers, and, as the legal
bugs say, ignorance is no excuse for
violation of the law.
Archer grabbed Safer as he was
turning third in the fifth inning, and
Vic was promptly called out when the
Phils put up kick. 1t deprived the
Cubs of one run, but fortunately
made no difference in the result of
the game.
In the same inning Archer had
overstepped bounds by laying his
hands on Leach, but this went unno-

gather from the combined pitching Of
Adams and Walker. They smote the
pill whenever the notion came to
them, and so grouped their bingIes as
to swell the run column.
AIeck ZwilIing was chief slUgger
with homer and two singles. Tom
Mcclure came close with a triple and
two singles. \Beck got a triple and
single, and Zeider and Flack each
punched two hits. Wickland and Far
rel got a double each. While all this
was going on Tinker went hitless.
LennOx was the leading Pirate batter
with two singles, double and triple
If it had not been for Lennox, Tom
Mcclure would never have been in
trouble. He had the sign on the rest
of the Pittsburgh swatters, and Len
nOx was responsible for all four of
the enemy's runs. Three he drove in,
and counted the fourth himself.
An account of the Sox game is Just
another story of lost opportunities.
Openings were presented to the Gala
hans, but they politely refrained from
taking advantage of the Mackmen,
who are behind the Tigers and need
games badly.
Only twice did the Athletics have
a chance to score. And they were
there each time with the necessary
bingle. They only got two more hits
than the Sox, but refused to waste
any smashes.
Reb Russell pitched good ball, al
lowing six hits. Three of them came
punched in the first inning and two in
the fourth. It made little difference,
however. Reb would have been forced
to pitch shut-OUt to win. His mates
gave him eight runs the last time he
pitched, and that swollen total will
have to last him for two OF three more
battles.
The only run the Sox scored came
in the seventh inning, when at least
two should have been punched over.
