 ''Gooi," cried Poe. leaving the crafty old fellow and darting through the al ley, filled with strange and loathsole odors issuing from huts and long. low lodging-houses occupied by lawless sailors from abroad-a very cut-throat of a neighborhooj.
 At the rambling, low-5rowed lodging house to which the old waterman had directed hi,n, Poe entered; having torn of his collar on the way. and wrapped his silk necktie about his throat after the manner of the longshoremen in the vicinity. He had rumplej his hair. and torn his shirt, ir the hope that. with an ob,use stare. he might convince Frau Klitterlein that he was her kind, and Tot arouse too much suspicion.
 The frau stood behind her dirty, fly infested bar. The place was not yet in full evening swing; only a few baACio AH tAc AiOHt TWILL playing with thumb-gummy cards. and tapping up their beer at long intervals.
 Poe lounged up to the dirty bar with the loose swing of seafaring man; his coat thrown back so she could see the shirt he had torn and dirtied, that she might overlook the Lewness of the cloth.
 I've get friend stayin' here, Frau Klittenlein," he said in swaggering tone in very low German, having or dered a drink. 'If it's convenient for him to see me, T1 like to say hello"

 Was there one who looked as though he might he a native of Bor- neo?" questioned Poe sharply.
 Yes, black man has hung around here for the past three or four days. They call him Jack; he's a wharf-rat from Borneo. He was the one who insisted on dropping his erd of the tank right in front of the window, and it was left there because it was late and I was in a hurry for my lunch and never thought"
 Good" cried Poe. Turning to the member of the firm, he requested that gentleman to wait for him there until midnight, and left at once, having stopped to examine some rather indis- tinct marks on the floor. leading frcm the crocodile pond to the small window in the rear, from which the bars had been torn.

Having assured himself of this, and made note of a bloody print on the side of the wall below the window, Poe hurried to the end of a nearby wharf, and rented a boat with a man to row him. He ordered the oarsma1 to take him back tc the rear of the animal warehouse, and then row out slowly past the end of the docks. There he had the boat held still while he ex. amined the bank on both the right and left.

 The helpers had gathered around meantime. and Poe questioned them quickly regarding the moving of the big glass fish tank.

 At length. past six o'clock. he came 10 a little dock where boats were rent ed to the public Here he landed. and tipped the proprietor for permission to examine the interior of his skiffs. He went over them carefully. and finished with a puzzled look, having found nothing.
 Suddenly he turned to the proprietor, and asked in faultless German for an old rag to clean his boat with.
 The man brought out some dirty cloths. and Foe looked them over care fully. missing nothing Again his short, thick eyebrows came together sharply. appointment He suddenly turned to one corner. and picked up a handful of neglected rags.
 A throaty cry came from the old man.

 But Poe had unwrapped one, and was holding it before the mortified old eyes of the waterman. It was bit of burlap, and it was heavy and stained black with blood.

BANQUET HANS WAGNER.
Fans Honor Great Player and Give
Him 500 Worth of Fishing Tackle.

PITTSBURGH, Pa. February 20
John H. (Hans) Wagner was rendered
a banquet last night at the Colonial
Annex Hotel by the Pittsburgh Stove
League. Fully 200 admirers of the
veteran ball player were In attendance:
Wagner was presented with set Of
fishing tackle costing $780, which came
as a surprise to him. In response to a
demand for speech Hans filled up
and was unequal to the occasion.
John K. Tener, president of the Ma
tional League. was the principal
speaker. He eulogized Wagner and
termed him the greatest and cleanest
ball player of all time. Moving pic
lures of the last world series were
flashed on a screen. as were pictures Of
Wagner in action on the diamond.
Barney Dreyfuss and Fred Clarke
were at the speakers table to honor
their best player. There were not
many ball players present the ma
jority of those In attendance being
fans who have known Wagner many
years.
letter of regret was read from Ed
Barrows, president of the International
League. who gave Wagner his first
chance on the diamond at Paterson, \.

speakers. but had been taken i'll. Ty
Cobb, President Gilmore Of the Federal
League. Joe Tinker. Connie Mack,

other celebrated managers and players
sent regrets and best wishes to the

DE ORC IN GREAT FORM.
Champion Three-Cushion Billiardist
Defeats Edward Hickey, SO to %.

Lovers of high-class three-cushion
billiards were given a treat last night
in the parlors of the Royal. when the
greatest player of them all, Alfredo De
Orc, met Edward Hickey in match
game of fifty points. Hickey has the
reputation of being one of the best
players in the District at this game,
and he managed to run up twenty-nine
buttons while De Oro was closing out
his string. The Cuban took things
easy, resorting very few times to safe
ty plays, but his accurate execution of
the more difficult shots demonstrated
that he is back in splendid form for the
big tournament that starts in Chicago
next month. If Manager Sherman
could persuade Edward Scanlon, son
of the veteran billiard room keeper. to
match up with De Orc many enthu-
siasts of the three-cushion game be-
lieve the champion would meet an op-
ponent worth while.
De Orc will stay in Washington the
remainder of the week and give exhi-
bitions OF fancy shots with the matches
every night. Tonight he Will take on
Walter Wallace, tomorrow night
Charles Hepburn, and Saturday night
Frank Sherman will try his hand at
the new game This program looks
very enticing and the enthusiasts will
doubtless be on hand in large numbers
to see the sport.

NEW YORK, February 25.-Ofticial
announcement that the Kansas City
team of the Federal League will be
transferred to Newark, y. j.. is made
today by P. T. Powers and Harry f.
Sinclair. who recently purchased the
franchise.
Newark was selected as the home or
the club in preference to the Bronx
section of New York, and for the time,
at least, sets at rest all talk of the
Federals invading the New York ter
ritory OF the National and American
leagues. The fact that Sunday base
ball can be played in Newark was a
feature that appeals to Powers. and
Sinclair, although the former, in the
announcement, declared that Newark

templating some switches in his line
up which no one has dreamed of. and
he insists that he is sincere in telling
of these. Shotton according to Hickey,
may be brought in to play second base,
while Pratt is shifted to first. Clar-
ence Walker will be shifted to center
and Jack Leary will be used behind the
bat permanently. Hickey says that his
players must earn their position the
coming season. They will have to hus-
tie from the time they go into training
until the season is over, and any time
they don't there is going to be some
thing doing.
Though Tommy Leach is no longer as
spry as he was, he has not changed his
opinion of his value in the least. Hug
gins wanted to sign the veteran for
the Cardinals. but he insisted on hav-
ing three-year contract calling for
$4,000 per. This. of course, was turned
down, but Leach later signed with Gin
cfnnati at bigger figure but only for
one year. Leach refuses to believe that
his major league days are over, and he
proposes to demonstrate the coming
season that he is still a star 1t is
HerZog's intention to start the season
with Leach in one of the outfleld posi-
tions. and it is then. of course, up' to
Leach to hold it as long as he can.
President Gilmore of the Federal
League seems determined to prevent
the use of the emery ball in his league
the coming season. Not only has he
issued orders against the use of this
delivery, but word comes from Chica go
that he has notified all his managers
that whenever a pitcher is found guilty
of using the emery ball he will be auto
matically fined 5000.
1t Is believed that the elimination OF
this delivery will have an effect on
several of the leading pitchers in the
new league who have relied on winning
their games on the emery ball.
Bill Rapp, the catcher who formerly
made his home in Washington. has been
picked up by Buck Herzog of the Gin
cinnati club to do the warming up
down at the Reds training camp. This
position was formerly held by Domi-
nick Mullaney, former Georgetown
catcher, but it seems that Herzog has
let him go and has signed up Rapp in
his stead.

CAMEL BOOSTS WALTER PIPP
Nearly as Good at Fielding as Hal
Chase, Saws John.

NEW YORK, February 25.-In the es-
rimation of John CAMEL the New York
Americans need fear naught for the
safety of first base this season.
IF Walter Pipp does not prove one
of the greatest sensation ever seen in
New York, then I'll never make another
prediction" said Honest John.
"He is left-handed, fast as d flash, a
wonderful thrower and a clean, hard
hitter. In my estimation he is almost
good a fielder as was Hal Chase at
his best. He has a greater reach than
Chase and l think is surer on catching
though, of course, not SO brilliantly SEN
sational.
This Will show you what kind of a
hitter he is: He had all sorts of extra
base hits last year, but of his eighteen
home runs not one was batted over the
fence"
