then hit toward first. and Schmidt
picked the ball up, running in 70 make
a throw to the plate. While he tried
to change his grip on the ball he
fumbed, and Myers had little trouble
in scoring.
In the seventh Schmidt singled and
dashed to third when Daubert threw
Smiths grounder to left field by way
Of starting a double play. Schmidt
might have let we'll enough alone, but
he attempted TO score, only to be
thrown out at the plate, Wheat to Mil
Ter. Smith, however. rounded the far
turn and scored on Maranville's single.
The Superbas tore off the covers in
the last half of the seventh. Cut
shaw's triple had scarcely ceased to re-
echo through the field when Myers
smashed another three-bagger to left
field. Cutshaw scored on Hy's smash
and the latter counted on Miller's out.
Dell wabbled a bit in the ninth, when
Smiths skinner to left, pass to
Gather. who hit for Rudolph, and Mo-

ternoon. Each performed his part in
most painstaking and thorough man

and darling bat evsders and Stcngel
attending to any little details which
might have escaped tho attention Of
his lanky coworker.
The alliance OF Dell and Stengel was
strengthened by lily Myers and George
Cutshaw, and then, AT the right mo-
mentor 9rooklyn-Ielnie Schmidt
Clipped in damaging error. Thu Su-
uerbas welded all these circumstances
together and fashioned therefrom a
victory by a score of 3 to =.
Dell grows better with every start.
Although hit harder THAI Dick Ru-
dolph, who opposed him on the mound,
he had comparatively little difficulty;
With perfect support he might we'll
have let ,hc Braves down with the ono
run they earned. but Jake Daubert
erred, to the wonder Of the crowd; a
single followed. driving the runner
home. In the final frame Boston tai
lied by legitimate means.
Eight hits were made from Dell, all
of the common or garden variety OF
singles. He gave four Eases or balls,
too. but these gifts were due more to
his desire to shoot the leather over the
corners than to lack Of control. He
was immune to the little tricks of the
trade to which veterans resort N order
to rattle newcomer.
Casey Stengel won his spurs in the
sixth inning. There were two mon out
and two men on when Sherwood Magee
came up TO the plate. Stenge, played
him in close, with Wheat and Myers
hack around the fence and toward left
field. Dell shot one on the outside and
Nagee hit il. On line and fol the
cen field fence the hall sped, but
even faster ran Stengel. His efforts to
catch that hurting leather seemed
weak and futile, but he got here in

Dick Rudolph ct the Superbas down
with a quintet of hits, but it happened
that two of these were triples and two
more were doubles. IL happened that
both triples-one by George Cutshaw
and the other by Hy Myers-came one
after the other in the seventh inning
and with an infeld out by Otto Miller
scored two runs. Myers was a busy
young man. for his double. a wild pitch
and Schmidt's error in the fifth pro-
duced the other tally.
Dick Egan broke into the game
against his old pals. covering second
base He played, through seven in
nings. He had hit in three times up
to the bat and accepted some seven
chances in the field. Meanwhile also
was busy and Cutshaw performed with
credit.

Answers made to the fnterrogatories

the H. c.. Hasemeier company over a

In one reply. Mr.. Hasemeier, presi-
dent of the company, said the books
had never been audited or gone over
by any members of the firm or any
employee while Miss Bentlage was
bookkeeper and cashier, and the first
knowledge of the cause of the short
ages was received in note Miss Bent
lage sent on the day of her death, Aug
ust IL, 1914.
Hasemeier also said there was no in
surance or indemnifying bond to pro-
tect the company against shortage. He
said the exact amount of the shortage.
$4,000 was found by an auditor, Ralph
Slatterback, since Miss Bentlage's sui
