PHILADELPHIA, July 13.--Connie
Mack in the second game with St.
Louis on Saturday sprung upon an un-
suspecting public a youthful looking
lcft-hand pitcher by the name of
LLOYD Davies. Having lost the first
game after dozen strenuous innings

imagined that either Bender or Plank
would be trotted out with the hope of
redeeming the fortunes of war.
About every one was surprised
when it was announced: 1.-THE batter
les for the second game are Davies
and Lapp for the Athletics. -
''Who is Davies?' was asked all

ME Mack had quietly bought a hard
hitting pitcher and outfielder all in
one person from the Amherst agricul-
tural college and planted him among
his world 5 champions.
After Davies had hit a twO-bagger
and single and had forced pitcher
Wielman to give him u pass that

An Essay on Men.

A little girl wrote the following com
position on men:
'Men are what women marry. They
drink and smoke and swear, but don It
go to church. Perhaps if they wore
bonnets they would. They are more
logical than women and also more 20
illogical. Both men and women sprung
from monkeys, but the women sprung
further than the men. London Opin-

Anna l.. Davis notes the fine cooperation
of parents in keeping all diseases, except
chicken-pox, from spreading beyond the
families first infected She found many
children with decayed teeth and eye
strain. Il would suggest, she says,
that the expense of making them prysi-
caly fit for education be made a civic

waste to provide for these children build

not go step further and spend money in

 FOR WOMAN'S DEATH
Accused Charged With Killing His Sister-in-Law January 3Oth Last
 After All Night Battle.

Sister-in-Law January 3Oth Last
 After All Night Battle.
 Fort Smith, Ark, May 5.-William Siler was placed on trial at Moun- tain Home, in Baxter county, Ark, yesterday charged with the murder of his sister-in-law, Mrs. McFadden- Siler, who was shot to death on the Siler farm on the morning of January 30 last after exchanging shots with men of the Siler family through the night. Hays Siler. father of the man on trial, and another son are charged with being accessories to the killing.
 The shooting came as a sequel to a suit for divorce instituted against the woman by Gil Siler. On the night in question, it is said, she went to the home of neighbor, made a will be- queathing her property to her son, and at midnight barricaded herself in the chicken house on the Siler farm. From that hour until daybreak a steady fusillade of bullets passed be- tween the woman's fort and the dwelling which sheltered the men. At daylight Mrs.. Siler ventured from her shelter and was struck by a bullet and killed.

GREY REFUSES REQUEST.
British Foreign Secretary Will Not Ask United States to Change Attitude.

London, May 5.-Foreign Secretary Grey was invited by Sir John David Rees, unionist, in the house of com mons this afternoon to ask the American government "to abandon it's position that the removal of Gen. eral Huerta is of greater moment than the restoration of peace and the protection of life and industry in Mexico.''
 The foreign secretary declined, de- claring that in view of the fact that mediation had been undertaken by Argentina, Brazil and Chile it could serve no useful purpose for the Brit ish government to make separate pro- posals on its own account to either Washington or Mexico. The federal governor of Tampico, the secretary continued, has given assurances that the employees of the companies operat- ing oil wells in that district might return, while Huerta had promised to issue orders permitting all nation alities to return and resume work, saying at the same time that he would do his best to prevent fighting in the oil district.
