DETROIT WINS BY a. TO {
BY J. ED GRILLo,

DETROIT, Mich, June 19-Even the
elements seem to be against the Ma
tlonals. Yesterday rain was directly re-
sponsible for their defeat 1t nabled the
Tigers to score three runs in the fourth
inning. which proved enough to beat
Walter Johnson
Just why the game was not stopped at
the end of the third inning, when, with
the score a tie, neither side having
reached the plate, it began to pour, is
question which no one but Umpire
Chill can answer.
when the fourth inning rolled around
the field was soaked in water and this
was the direct cause Of the downfall
OF the Nationals. Johnson, having a wet
ball to handle. could not get them over
Tor Cobb, who walked. Crawford sent
a liner to center, which ordinarily would
have been caught by Milan, but in run
ming for the ball he stumbled, and the
drive went past him. Moeller backed
MN up and got 1t in time to hold Craw-
ford on second, but throwing wet ball
is very uncertain undertaking, and his
heave went into left field instead of
toward the infield, and Crawford also
ran home. Then came kavanaugh with
little pop fly between Milan and Noel
Ter. Both stumbled and slipped in going
after it. The ball fell safe, rolled to the
fence, and Kavanaugh had to be credited
with a home run.
In the eighth inning the Tigers added
another run, thanks to the soggy con-
dition of the field. In this inning Bush
got a single, and. after being sacrificed
to second, stole third. Cobb drove a
sharp grounder at Foster, and Bush
seemed doomed at the plate, but in field
ing the ball Foster slipped and fell, and
Cobb and Bush were safe. Cobb died
stealing. and then Crawford hit triple
to center. but was out trying to stretch
it for the circuit

NEW YORK, June 19.-Foxhan +.
Keene desires to express his regret for
having INDUCED on Saturday evening last
in talk with a newspaper man In an
ill-timed and undeserved criticism OF the
members of our polo team and OF the
Polo Association, which was published in
the New York American on the 14th in
slant Mr.. Keene felt at the time
deeply chagrined at our defeat by the
English team, and was thereby led to
make statements which he now admits to
have been unkind and unwarranted. The
article in question was not submitted to
Mr.. Keene before it was printed, and If
it had been it would have been materially
modified by him. If upon any other oc-
casion Mr.. Keene has made any state
ment derogatory to or in criticism OF any
person or organization connected with the
international polo contest he sincerely re-
grets and retracts it.
Foxhall p Keene made public last
night the above apology for his criticism
of the American polo team after the nrst
game of the recent international contest
His criticism was published in the New
York American last Sunday under his
name and Immediately aroused the ire OIL
members of the American team and OF
Favoritism Charged.
For nearly a week the insinuations of
Mr.. Keene that the Waterburys got their
places on the team through favoritism
have been the topic of conversation
wherever sporting men have gathered
Mr.. Keene has been made aware of the
resentment created by his criticisms. 1t
is known that pressure was brought to
bear upon him by friends, who had
learned that the Waterburys were in an
i'll humor. Sporting men were not sur
prised yesterday to hear that an apology
had been prepared for publica ton by Mr..
Keene.
In publishing the apology of Mr.. keene
this morning the New York American
omits the statement that had the article
been submitted to him before it was pub
lished Mr.. keene would have modified it
1t was said at the Office of
the American last night that the omission
of this line would be made with the con-
sent Of Mr.. keene. As prepared, his
apology might seem to indicate that the
published article differed somewhat from
that which he gave the reporter. When
this circumstance was explained to him
Mr.. Keene said it was not his intention
to question the accuracy of the quota
tons attributed to him.
The part of Mr.. Keene's article which
aroused the indignation of members of
the team and the polo association was
as follows.
Warm Criticism.
There was no need for such a defeat
and this cubic team of Mr.. Whitney's
forma ton played as badly as the English
men played well. When Mr.. Whitney re-
signed lin favor of younger NAM and
Monty Waterbury was made captain it
naturally also put his brother. Lawrence
Waterbury. on the team-Mr Milburn be-
ing a certainty for it-and the difficulty
has been all spring to make this into
team.
The contest has become not an inter-
national affair as far this country is
concerned, Dut is run and regulated by
little clique of men who now have about
enough rope on their necks to hang
themselves. They are shells of men,
again barring Mr.. Milburn, who is

johnson Pitches Well.

johnson pitched good game of ball.
ordinarily he would have had a shut
out to his credit, but it is the same old
story OF things breaking wrong and
games being lost Even after having to
shoulder this handicap, the Nationals
made game uphill fight which. how:
ever, availed them of but two runs, half
as many as their opponents had scored
In the seventh successive singles by
Shanks, Morgan and Mcbride gave them
their first run, and in the ninth Shanks
hit and steal, followed by McBride's dou-
BILE to left, gave them their final tally
Williams was walked after Mcbride had
hit. and it was up to Johnson to save
the day, but the best he could do was
to send a fly to Crawford, which ended
hoStilitieS. The score:

Believe In AdyertiSine

Money may be scarce in this
section of the country but evident.
lily the mail order houses think
that they can find a considerable
sum hidden away in old jars and
stockings At least that is our
conclusion after seeing the l3 mail
sacks OF catalogues that recently
arrived at The local post office,
sent out here by mail order house.
The mail order hOusesare YEARLY
spendi g thousands of dollars ad-
vertislug their business and that
they considering the money well
spent is clearly proven by the
increased advertising appropriation
set aside each year by their man
agement.
AS we have said before, every
dollar that goes to II mail order
house, from Mobridge, or any
Other place, is secured through the
pulling power OF well written and
attractive advertising. The cata-
logue house man does not know
his customers personally. never
meets them IN Il social way, yet he
can induce the people to patroniZe
him, pay cash in advance, without
every seeing the goods until after
they are delivered. That he can
do this l. because he is liberal
user Of advertising space and
method and is constantly telling
the public what he has to sell and
the price he wants.

Rev DR.. Warner a member Of the

from his trip to Serum Saturday

made important propositions. That

provided.
Thrall Academy has been open
hardly year and already has
principal and three able assistants
and twenty students. Permanent
buildings will be erected at once on
the new site and rapid growth
is assured. The local awakening
Of interest in the institution will
work to its advantage in every
