He smiled constantly and was almost

the noise of an angry mob Of depositors
Of Max Kobre. another private banker,
who made such a demonstration in an
other court room that a deputy marshal
had to take Kobre away to save him
from violence.
The bankrupt disclosed by a chance

London. Dec. 12.-Three attempts by
German submarines to enter British ports
within less than a month have convinced
admiralty officials that the spy system
which has betrayed to Germany military
movements supposed to be known only
to high authorities has also succeeded
in learning many naval secrets. The Of

not have dared to attack ports guarded
by mines unless their commanders knew
the location of the mines.
A thorough Investigation is being con-
Quoted to ascertain the manner in which
the mine maps came into possession OF
the Germans. Deeper interest is added

Cubs Trim the Braves.

CHICAGO, August 25.-An eighth
inning batting rally in which five hits
and four runs were made off Rudolph
yesterday gave Chicago 9-to-5 victory
over Boston in the first game Of the
series.
AS a result Boston dropped half a
game behind New York for the lead in
the National League, New York's game
at St. Louis having been postponed be-
cause of wet grounds.
Incidentally the Cubs crept close to
the heels of the leaders. and their adj
herents again are roofing for them to
win the pennant.
The game was hard fought, the score
see-sawing until the fifth inning.
Vaughn and Brennahan were ordered
out of the game by Umpire Quigley
for arguing over fourth ball called
on Schmidt in the seventh inning.

According to report which comes
from the west, Dave Fultz intends to
call off the all-star American and Ma
tional League teams trip through the
west this fall. 1t seems that F'ultz is
sore on the Athletics because of their
stand against the Players Fraternity,
and Fultz, so the story goes, will not
allow any members of his fraternity
to play against the Mack team in exhi-
bition games. Jack Ryder of the Gin
cinnati Enquirer, in commenting on
Fultz's action in this instance, takes
the following rap at the head Of the
Players Fraternity:
"This is strong work, but it shows
the tremendous power that Fultz has
over the athletes when he can get away
with such a thing as forbidding them
to take fine trip, with good money
on the side, just to show his spite
against the Athletics. 1t is remark
able how the players have fallen for
this sort of stuff, even at the expense
of their own pockets"
It develops that Jack Johnson, who
was to have received about $4,000 for
his share of the johnson Moran fight.
did not get his hands on a cent of the
money. me coioIeu CHAMPION Creu
itors tied it up with an attachment and
also the $4,000 which Moran was to
have received. Reports from France
are to the effect that. Johnson is f1nan-
cially close to the cushion and that the
outlook is not bright, because he is
barred from all fight clubs because of
his having faxed with Moran.
There is no place where Johnson can
fight, being barred in Australia and
the United States. and the fight game
is, of course. out of the question 30
far as Europe is concerned.

McGraw's pitching staff seems to have
gone all to pieces. Mathewson, for in
stance. has lost his last four starts, and
none of the other three, Demaree, Tes-
reau or Marquard, has been able to do
the sort of work necessary to keep the
Giants in the race. Nor is there a
chance for improvement, for there are
no pitchers available. McGraw, who is
usually very resourceful, for once finds
himself helpless. He has tried, it is

failed to induce any of the other clubs
to help him.
Unless the Nationals finish the season
with rush there Is real danger of the
team finishing lower in the race this
year than 1t has at any time since the
Griffith regime was installed. The team
is still in third place. but there is little
chance of it passing Boston, while it is
endangered from the rear by Detroit
Grifith's pitching staff is badly shot to
pieces. Johnson and Ayers are the only
two reliable twirlers he can call on, and
they, of course. cannot do all the work.

The Army appears now to have a good

unexpected and crushing defeat of 1913,

the Army, with comparatively veteran

GOLFING HINTS.
BY "STRAIGHT DRIVE.

Slippery Grips.-In rainy wealth
er many players find it extremely
difficult to get firm enough
grip on their clubs without so
Tightening their muscles as to
make it impossible to swing
properly.
Many devices, such as rough
rubber grips to be wound or
snapped over the usual leather
wrapping have been tried, with
varying degrees of success.
Over on the other side, where
it rains much more than with US,
the experts long ago discovered
that the use of light cotton
glove enables them to keep a
firm grip on the club regardless
of the deluge.
For this purpose a cotton glove
a size too large is a good thing
to carry in the bag at all times.
.Wetting them makes the gloves
shrink. and it is just as well to
provide for this when purchasing
your pair. A pocket handker-
chief wrapped around the grip
will produce the same result, but
with greater discomfort.

ties rolled up eleven runs while Dauss and
his supporteds held the locals runless
There was little to the game aside from
the Tigers good hitting. Runs came. in
punches for the visitors. there being three
different occasions when they scored
three runs. Dauss. on the other hand,
was invincible against the locals and
they failed to get anywhere near the
plate. Just once was Dauss threatened
and then luck came to hts rescue. Noel

round with hits. Mitchell then drove a
terrific liner toward right field, which
Heilman grabbed and turned into a

The visitors put the first game on the
shelf in the very opening inning, when
they hit Ayers timely enough to get
a couple of runs They scored but
once thereafter. Bush and Moriarty
both hit safely and then Cobb was walk
ed. Crawford was kind enough to hit
into double play which allowed Bush
to score, and then Veach came along with
triple. which sent Moriarty home.
Crawford's double and Veach's single
gave them their last run in the fourth.
The Nationals scored but one off
Covesleskie. That was in the sixth, when
FOSTERS hit and 'Gandil's double were
followed by a sacrifice fly by Morgan.
