while others think it accomplishes about as much as the hit and run trick.
 Regarding these huge stands which are being built. Are they getting them too far away, and is there a result too much aloofness between player and patron, too much formal ity and keeping ones distance with q dying out of the closer relations and friendly familiarity between fan and player which did much to sustain To- cal interest?
 Sometimes Dave Robertson has trouble keeping his throws in the ball park. He arched one from right to third in Saturdays game and every body who could be spared went over to that corner and backed up. It may be, but We doubt it, that there are three American league teams each of which could win the pennant in the National league this year, and then again it may be, which we believe, that there isn't q l team in the National league that couldn't finish ahead of the Athletics Pitching combinations for the J Sloujits for recent stretch of games l read: Groom, Crandall; Watson, Crandall, Groom; Watson, Groom, Crandall; Crandall Willett:; Crandall, 1 Groom; Crandall, Groom, Watson.

GOLFERS WATH BASEBALD.
Stars Take Swipe at Ball-Cobb
 Refuses to Emulate.

Detroit, Mich, Aug. 30-Thou- sands of baseball fans at Navin Field yesterday watched three Eastern ath- 1etes stand behind home plate and hit golf balls which whizzed over houses more than fifty yards beyond the center-feld wall. The young men were Francis Ouimet of Wood- land, Mass, Jesse Guilford of Bos- ton, and Max Marston of Springfield, N. J., They are golfers.
 The ball game between Detroit and New York was halted about the fifth inning. The three famous golfers, at tired in civilian clothes, were es- corted to the diamond by Manager Jennings of the Detroit club, one of the many Tigers who play the Scotch game. In quick succession Ouimet Marston and Guilford drove. Each ball sailed over the wall near the exit sign and seemed still to be on the rise when it was lost from sight
 Guilford had the best luck. He hit a low screamer that travelled on a line until it reached deep center. The crowd cried for Cobb to give an ex- hibition, but Ty after watching Guil- ford's ball start on it's journey to- ward the Canadian border, threw up his hands in amazement and walked to center field.

 St. Paul, Minn., Aug. 3O.-Mike
 Gibbons considers himself in such
 good physical shape for his bout with
 Packie Mcfarland at the Brighton
 Motordome on September 11th, that
 he has become fearful of overtraining
 which is as bad or even worse than
 under training in boxer. Saturday he took a. day off, his only exercise
 being a walk through the woods and
 hill climbing. He was accompanied
 by his brother Tom and his two hunt
 ing dogs. r>". +.! Gibbons spends as much time as possible in the open air, regardless of weather conditions. His daily programme is to rise at z o'clock and after breakfast take five mile run
 on the road, followed by a long swim. He walks a few miles after lunch and before going into the gymnasium. | After working2on the pulleys, weight 1 machines, punching the bag, shadow l boxing and sparring from eight to
 twelve rounds witMahisr sparringi ipart-
 ners, he getg a fufb, down and mas sage. Then he takes a nap for two ! hours and just before supper has an- 1 other swim. He is in bed at night | at ten o'clock at the latest.
 While Gibbons is always in first | class physical trim he is devoting more time to training for the Me- Farland match than he has for any other. He looks so good to the 1 St. Paul fans that they have made 1 him 2 to 1 favorite over the Chicago man. Several fans came from Chi cago Friday to see him work and get ] a line on him.

 To Probe Cause of Disaster.

Honolulu. Aug. 30.-Work pree- liminary to the dry docking of the submarine F-4, lost in the Honolulu harbor with twenty-two men March 26 and raised yesterday, was under way today. It was expected the craft would be placed in dry dock tomorrow Until then nothing definite can be annouced as to what caused the dis aster.
 The F-4 was raiseed by the pontoon method, six special pontoons, each with a lifting capacity of sixty tons having been constructed at the Mare Island, California, Navy Yard for the purpose after all other methods prov Cd unavailing.
 The actual raising operation oc- cupied two hours. The derelict was tcwed into the harbor, where all the shipping including the interned Ger man gunboat Geier, lowered flags to half mast.

Canada Denies Report.

Canada Denies Report.
 Ottawa, Aug. 3O.-Oficial denial was given here last night to the re- port contained in the Berlin message by wireless to Sayville, N. Y, that a British troopship carrying 2,O0O Canadian trops, has been sunk off the Scilly Islands on August 15. The military authorities issued the follow ing statement regarding the report:
 Between the 31st of July and the 24th of August only two troopships with more than three hundred troops on board have been despatched from Canada. and they have both arriven safely at their destinations. Moreover every troopship bearing Canadians has arrived safely at their destina- tions.
 No Troopship Overdue.
 There is no Canadian troopship overdue and if the story coming via SayvilIe has any basis for truth it must refer to the torpedoing of the Canadian Northern steamship Royal Edward in the Aegean, the report of which event reached Canada August 17th.
 No hint has come from British
 
 While it is possible that, had such an event occurred, the British cen- sor might have withheld the news, this is improbable in view of the fact that official announcement was made. promptly of the torpedoing of the British transport Royal Edward in the Aegean sea, with the loss of about 1000 men. The Royal Edward was sunk on August IA, one day before the date mentioned in the wireless desptach from Berlin and it is pos sible that the report brought in by the Ryndam's passengers is gar bled version of the incident.
 The Ryndam arrived at Rotterdam August 22 and has since sailed on her return voyage for New York. The trip from Rotterdam to Amsterdam requires only a few hours, so that ~ is probably the Ryndams passengers who proceeded to Amsterdam reach ed there August 22 or 23, nearly a week before the date of the Berlin despatch. .,.t ;. ...r"

WALSH ATTACKED BY
 COLORADO GOVERNOR
Executive Calls Chairman of Indus- trail Relations Commission
 Mountebank and SensationaIist.


 Denver, Col, Aug. 30.-Governor George A. Carlson last night issued a statement charging that Frank +. Walsh, chairman of the federal com mission on industrial relations. had spread 'mendacious statements" re- garding the political and industrial condition in Colorado.
 MT. Walsh, with vicious and sub- tle cunning, is imputing the domina- ton or Rockefeller, to an overwhelm- ing majority of Colorado's citizens" ran the governors statement With the sophistry of the mountebank and the prestige of federal authority he slyly seeks to transfer to our people the prejudies of the nation against this man of wealth. After a series of million dollar bouffe hearings he would convey to the nation the idea that the majority of our citizens who in the last election registered their protest against violence in labor dis putes had no knowledge of the facts or were corruptly influenced" After declaring that the people of the state at the 1914 election deliberately de- cided against strike violence, the gov ernor continued:
 By nature a mountebank and sensationalist, he (Walsh) did not tell the truth because the truth concern ing Colorado is not wanted by the yellow press of the nation and those anarchistic elements whom he repre- sents."

DEATH Of NELLIE HILL
CONTINUES TO MYST|FY
Authorities Unable to Determine
Whether or Not She Was
Murdered.

Nothing has been learned by the po-
ice that throws any additional light
upon the death of Mrs. Nellie Hill, also
known as Nellie johnson. whose body
was found In a vacant house at 216 c
street northwest early Monday morn
ing, and, SO far as the police have been
able TO ascertain. the woman was last
seen alive Friday.
II Is the claim OF the police that the
handkerchief found stuffed IN the
woman's mouth and the loss of three
teeth. two Of which had to be removed
from her throat with the aid OF for
ceps, does not necessarily indicate that
murder was committed.

about her other than that she was In
his employ and that she occasionally
absented herself from his house be-
cause of her fondness for liquor.
