Woman Was Strangled

Van Horn had no intention of doing
any bodily harm to Mrs. Fulmer, he said
this afternoon, and did not know she
had died as the result of the alleged
attack until he read Williamsport
Sunday paper yesterday. He told de-
tectives he merely was waiting for
money from Williamsport and he had
intended to return there. According to
advices from Williamsport, Mrs. Fulmer
was strangled to death when her tongue
was forced down her throat.
The fire intimstion the Harrisburg
police had that the pair were in Har-
risburg was at 3 o'clock Saturday aft

port London went wild with exultation.
| The spaces in front of the bulletin
board were thronged all day. Cheer on
cheer was given for the navy and Sir
David Beatty, who, already a popular
hero after his victory off Heligoland on
August IS, has, by his latest exploit
become idolized
1t is believed that the German
squadron had set out TO repeat the raid
of last month on the Yorkshire coast.
1t is thought that the German
squadron was identical with that which
made the first successful descent on
England. and it is probable that the de-
sTruction of no German ship could have
caused greater rejoicing than that of
the Bluecher, unless. possibly, that of
the Moltke. her fellow-raider.
The result of the action also is re-
garded here as a triumphant vindica-
tion of British theories o. warship
building. So far as aan be judged from
the meagre accounts now available, the
hight itself was merely demonstration
of victory that had been won in the
years of peace by the British design
ers, who were able to send to sea a
squadron that, ship for snip, outclassed
the Germans of the same date in speed,
in armor protection and in gun power.
The mathematic of superior speed
and gunnery were even more strikingly
demonstrated than in the victory of
Admiral Sturdee off the Falklands. The
Bluecher was, of all German ships, the
most deeisively outclassed. She was the
slowest and apparently the rearmost of
their squadron. She was an armored
cruiser of an earlier day. and though a
splendid specimen of her type. was as
helpless, with her battery of twelve So
inch guns and her belt of 6-inch armor,
against the 13.5-inch broadsides of the
British squadron as were the Scharn-
horst and the Gneisenau before the In
vincihle and Infexible in the South At.
lantic.
Germans Near English Coast
Apparently the German squadron was
not more than an hour run from the
English coast when the British patrols
ahead of Admiral Beatty's heavy forces
reported the presence of the Germans.
The action seems to have been fought
out according to the most approved
reconnoitering and keeping in touch,
and gradually falling back on the
heavier fighters, as the two squadrons
approached.
The German Admiral, however. eth.
er was less effectively served bv his
scouts than was Admiral Beatty, or he
became convinced at the British ships
were only light patrol craft; or, con
fdent in the speed and power of his
own squadron, he determined to pusn
home the reconnaissance, and went too
far.
In any case, when he finally learned
the odds against him and swung his
own heavy squadron around for fight,
it was too late, for the big British
cruisers were bearing down at the ut
most speed.
Neither squadron, it is believed, was
in close formation. But in the rear of
the German squadron was the weakest

There is a vast amount more or un-

Four or FIVE years ago-maybe longer
Frank Chance was tipped off to certain
husky young ball player from middle
Tennessee who was killing rabbits with
rocks and who I'm odd moments was
balancing pianos and four-ton powders
with either paw.
Chance grabbed Toney and thought he
had landed a wonder. Toney was the
strongest man in baseball, but all this
helped him very little in pegging the
ball over the plate to the discontinue
of batsmen. After a lengthy trial Chance
finally decided that Toney wouldn't do.
From that point on the Tennessee husky

This season but little had been heard
of him one way or another. Herzog

Reds, Colonel Toney suddenly steps out
with the best brand of pitching on the
market. Before they know he is loose

Trayers, Ouimet, Evans

Golf uncertainties are well upon a par
with those of baseball. Today Francis
Ouimet is amateur champion. Yet few
recall the fact that only two years ago
today Ouimet was unknown beyond a
narrow golfng base; that is, within his
own section.
Just a week later than this date two
years ago Ouimet was dropped by Trav-
ers in the second round at Garden City.
Yet since then Ouimet has won
the open and amateur championships,
smashed a dozen records and today is
regarded as one of the main bets for
another title year.
Also a year ago today Chick Evans
was playing the best golf he had ever
played. Rounds of 6S and So were fairly
common But year this Monday he
was toppled over in his first match at

THE BULL MOOSE OF THE BLEACHERs
Desperate Plight of Certain Waiter known as Alloy
sius Reagan-Some Fnicky Guests at the
Metropolitan Grill-Conspiracy or Madness?
By CHARLES E. VAN LOAN
The Worlds Most Famous Writer of Baseball Fiction

When Andy Anderson lost fly ball in
the sun, the Bantams' supporters roasted
him. But when. they had quit. new
rooter. with a voice that would stampede a
convention, roared out that Andy ought to
be taken back to Copenhagen. 1t was a
now one, and tickled the crowd. Andy.
after the inning closes, goes to bat.
Again the voice roars out strange coll
lection of humor and downright "panning'
which amuses the crowd. The Bantams
get into nervous state wrangle with each
C:her, and lose the game. The next day
the Bull Moose, as they call the unknown
rooter. predicts their defeat,
They lose the game and their tempers.
At last the manager calls a halt and de-
cides TO get the Bull Moose. He puts a
detective on the trail, who presently re-
ports that the Bull Moose is waiter at
the Metropolitan Grill. The manager then
finds out how many or his men have dress
suits, and declares that he is ready to
begin.
The Bull Moose is actually Aloyslus
Reagan. He was born to be a commander
OF men, but cruel fate made him a servant
to others. SO all his Instincts are sup
presslve, until he goes to the baseball
grounds, where the enthusiastic reception of
his sallies is Joy to his ears. When, after
the third day q newspaper referred to the
Null Moose. Aloysius left earth behind and
lived in the clouds.
