Chase, BIackburne and Daily Are Sox
Stars-Cubs Soft for Reds.

One swallow doesn't slake thirst,
and neither does one ball game prove
the caliber of a diamond crew, but
Callahan's men yesterday in the mi
tial battle against Cleveland plainly
showed that the stuff is present of
which winning teams are composed.
There is pepper, fight and the nerve
to stick in the face of odds. There
are no cutters in the lineup. The
men seem willing to work together
without regard for personal averages,
which has not always been the case
with South Side teams.
The infieId AND battery can be
classed among the first rank. The
outfeld is only average, but it may
make up in batting what it lacked in
artistic execution.
One encouraging feature is the
work of Hal Chase around first base
Many of the wise ones opined that
Hal was through last year and had
been for some time. The shift from
the Yanks to the Sox resulted in re-
awakening him to a certain extent,
but he was not the same Chase who
earned the title of Prince Hal.
Yesterday he did everything that
could be expected, and a whole lot
that the large majority of first base
men would never have gotten away
with. The manner in which he went
about his work was enough to cause
thrills among Sox fans, who have
been eagerly awaiting star first
baseman since Jiggs Donahue pass
ed on.
Chase was there with his marvel
Gus ground covering and had his snap
throw perfect. His ankles are strong
again and he moved around with as
surance. He acted like youngster
breaking in, with all the finish of
veteran. The combination can't be
beat.

 A similar suit is threatened by Mrs. Ray Thompson for her famous Rus. sian wolf hound which was killed at the same time and, the owner of a. well bred Pomerian is as yet un- known. These dogs which were play ing on the track were all slaughtered by the 9:15 car from the Broolzlawn club this morning by motorma,n who is accused of running at speed Of over 30 miles an hour.
 Officers of the Humane Society have been notified that motormen have practiced the sport fof slowly creeping upon dogs playing on the tracks and then throwing son full power in an effort to kill and mai1n them. An instance occurring at Wood and North avenues yesterday has been the subject of official investigation and is found not to have been re- ported at the Connecticut offices by the motor1nan in charge of the car
 To claim agents and Supt. Charles H. Chapman of the company who were prominent in the inquiry being made today it was reported that cars are run from Brooklawn club to Park avenue at reckless rates of speed, endangering the lives of many children playing in the streets, and that many dogs have been killed by heartless motormen out of pure ma- 1iciousness- Supt.

THREE LABOR MEN
 SEEK NEW TRIALS

Chicago, May 16-Charles " Miller, former United States district attorney for Indiana, who prosecuted the dyna- mite conspiracy case in 1912, appeared again for the government today in the United States circuit court of ap- peals, when the reheaEing on the granting Of the new trials to Olaf A Tveitmoe, of San Francisco: Rich ard H. Houlihan, of Chicago and Will liam Bernhardt, of Cincinnati, came up for oral argument
 Miller said the court had uroperJv held that the general conspiracy had been established and that 24 of the defendants were directly connected with the conspiracy to transport dyn- annite and nitro glycerine upon pass- ger trains.
 The evidence, he said, was largely cfrcumstant1al but he said .every link in the chain of circumstances is pres ents and the verdict of the jury .Is sustained by substantial evidence on every material point; "a clear prima facie case wasS established against Tyeitmoe, Houlihan and Bernhardt."
 The government lawyer next took the cases or the three defendants indiyid- uatly, touching on the evidence brought out in the trial of the case and argued that the testimony was such that the defendants were not entitled to new trials.

 His appearance as a witness was accomplished in the face of the protest Of the department of justice, but with the sane ton Of the full board of com merce commissioners, acting under Instructions and with the approval Of the United States Senate.
 As Mn Mel1en left the stand he made this significant re-. mark: After I get through there will be no feathers stick ing to my claws. There are. many things I do not want to. tel, but am determined that l shall not be held responsible for things for which I was not responsible. '

G. A. Douglas Surrenders When He Learns of
 Warrant Issued.

George A. Douglas. 7o8 Howard ave- nue. one of the largest painting con- tractors iii the city, surrendered him self, after a warrant was sworn out by his wife, charging him with non- support By an agreement with the court his attorney, I. J. Cohn, of the firm Of Bartlett, Keeler & Cofn of this city, secured continuance and Doug las was released on. his own recog- nizance. The warrant was issued by City Prosecuting Attorney A. L. De. Laney.
 While the wife formally charges Douglas with non-support, the dis agreement is said to be over the amount to be paid her for her main tenance Mrs. Douglas alleges that she and her husband, while living in the same house. have occupied sepa- rate apartments for the past few months. Since that time she has been receiving stipulated amount from her husband for her maintenance. She now alleges that the amount being paid her is not sufficient.
 Douglas declares that the charges are false and that they were brought in anseffort to hurt his business.
