stone ages somewhere announced that
every action has it's reaction must
have been looking into the dim and

chaos Certain 1t is that the reaction

more fully demonstrated than at the
recent meeting Of National League
magnates here.
Thirty-two berths in the National
League occupied last year will be va

"Bogey'' is golf terms, signifies the
best record on the links. The score
of SO means that an average of four
strokes TO the hole must be made
throughout the course and il takes
something of a golfer to make the To-
cal course in SO. Hartman has an
other record to his credit. He is the
only man who has made a hole IN one
shot. A week ago Sunday he drove
his ball from the teeing grounds to
hole No. 3 and it traversed the entire
distance to the next green, rolling IN
to the small cup in the center. There
have been plenty Of "twos' and
"threes" made but 1t will take stroke

Ammunition THAT Refused to Drown

Ammunition That Refused TO 'DrOWn
After a hard struggle with a head
wind and a mountain-high sea which
tossed her about for many long hours
the good ship "Grampus"-a schoon
er out of Galveston for Tampico-
foundered off the Texas coast about
nine months ago today.
The crew of the "Grampus" made
a good fight No real sailor will
give up his ship to Davy Jones lock-
er without resisting to the limit OF
human endurance. Nevertheless, the
"Grampus" had to go on the rocks.
Her crew got ashore safely, but in the
hold of the old craft much treasure
wss deserted. Part of the cargo was
rifle ammunition. There were metal.
lie cartridges made by several Amer
lean firms and all of these cartridges
went under for a long salt water
bath. The "Grampus' was not to-
tai loss, however. In fact, 1t was pos
sible only a few weeks ago to get in
to her hold and take up much OF her
cargo. The ammunition, for instance,
while the cases in which 1t was
packed had been eaten away by
wcrms during the nine months soak
ing was brought into Port Arahas to
be tested. The officials found tina,
the Remington cartridges. only, fir
ed readily despite the action Of the
sea. and they will be repacked for
use.

tlOn Of the keeping qualities OF am
munition when immersed for a long

BOOKMAKERS ARE

NEW YORK RACES
PLANS FOR A BIT OF UNDER
GROUND BETTING ARE NOW
BEING MADE.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2S.-Just how
far they can go witout police inter-
ference is worrying the bookmakers,
who already are laying their plans
carefully for a bit of under-cover
betting when the New York racing
season starts, on May 90. Last year
there were few raids, and this
year, according to word which has
some out in the shape OF a tip to the
racing fraternity, strictness will be
the rule.
The arrest over in Maryland a
few weeks ago of a hundred Wash
irgton betting fans, among them a
congressman or two, has made the
pory- followers here bit chary.
There has been bit of betting on
the Q. T. throughout the winter but
the old pool room days are far in
tho discard-at least the police say
so.
The stewards of the jockey club,
who met here the other day, tenta-
lively picked May 20 as the date for
the start of the racing season here.
It is by no means certain that the
Westchester Racing association VIII
open the sport here, for there Is
talk of revertlng to the Aqueduct
track, Jamaica, which had to split
its dates last year. may be in line
again. Maryland tracks will open IN
April and, one thing is assured, that
when once the sport begins there
Will be racing every day in the vicin
ity of New York until the exodus for
Saratoga.
A boxing fan who came from
Washington the other day says that
American ring bugs are flocking in
to the state department building
locking for passports assuring them
they will not spend few days In a
Mexican prison when they go to Jul
arez to see Jack Johnson and Jess

Although the Villistas are not be-
lieved likely to pinch anything ex-
cept the cointhe Americans scatter
in Juarez the fans are working on
the safe side by getting passports.

! The prosecutor painted Smith as a
man with an uncanny influence over
women. Women gave their all to him,
he said, deserted their homes and
| friends and gave their savings into
his keeping. Even after he deserted
his third wife, Beatrice Mundy, taking
$500 Of her money, she forgave him.
the prosecutor said, and provided
that he should receive $12.5oo on her
death. Beatrice Mundy was the first
of Smiths wives to be found dead In
bath tub.
THE prisoners contention that
Beatrice Mundy suffered fit and
drowned accidentally Is ridiculous"
said the prosecutor. The crown will
show that the position in which the
body was found makes this entirely

Smith returned to the Pegler WON

third wife's death, the pros ecutor
told the jury Next he met Alice
Burnham, a nurse, married her and
Ipersuaded her to will him $500 she
had saved and to insure her life for
$500 in his favor, he declared.
The Burnham woman, too, was
found dead in a bath tub. Smith col
Iected her insurance, the prosecutor
said, married Alice Revail, who is still
alive. and then married Margaret
Elizabeth Lofty, whose death IN the

suspicious of Scotland Yard. In each

woman would enter a bath in a strange
