eeives News Of His Mothers Death
A telegram to Henry Wedekind
of Newark Valley was received in
Eureka Friday announcing the death
of his mother, Mrs. Helena Wede-
kind. at Reno. Nevada, that day.
A messenger left here in the after
noon with the telegram. but owing
to the bad condition of the roads
Mr.. Wedekind did not reach Eureka
in time to take this mornings train
for Palisade.
Mrs. Wedekind was the widow of
the late George Wedekind. and both
were well known former residents of
Eureka, where for number of years
in the prosperous days of the camp
they conducted a lodging house.
The family moved from here to
Washoe County. where Mr.. Wede-
kind later discovered the famous
Wedekind mine near Reno, finally
disposing of the property at hand
some figures. Due to declining age,
Mrs. Wedekind has been in failing
health for some length of time and
the announcement Of her death was
not unexpected.

Notes Of Former EurekanS

Tonopah Bonanza: Either a cruel
practical joke was perpetrated the
other morning, or there is a "black
hand" operating in this city. When
Mrs. M. B. Bartlett went to the door
Saturday morning in response to a
knock, she saw no one there. but
found a note pinned to the door by
the fleeing person who had raped.
1t read: "You will deposit $1,000 to-
night outside the house beside the
gas meter or take the results" The
police were notified and the house
was watched, but no one came to
claim the money.

test that will in a great measure atone
for the absence of the Nationals dur
ing the Independence holiday period.
This game the proceeds of which will
go to charity. will be lifted out of the
ordinary channel of contests of this
nature. In fact, it is the aim OF those
in charge TO make it artistic as
well as a financial success. And that
they will succeed in both endeavors
is practically assured
There is plenty of base ball talent
within the confines of the Masonic
fraternity. and Albert C. McChesney,
o. w Roakes and William g. Belts.
all of whom are actively engaged in
lining up the talent, are meeting with
few rebuffes. They fully intend to
stage ball game that will give value
received. They have the players OF
the proper caliber to do SO.
While the game is nearly three weeks
off. the men who will make up the
rival teams already have begun to get
in condition for the fray. Many of
those who will take part are in ''har-
ness in the various leagues, but there
will be some me-hacks" and team
work must be developed.
However, followers of the two teams
can rest assured OF one thing-thAy
will see game of ball well worth

But so far as Cashion is concerned,
he not only has been benched and his
place taken by Autery of ST Paul, but
there is a report from out that way that
the big fellows arm is in a very bad
way and that this, more than anything
else, is the cause of his being benched
by Cantillon. II that is the case.
Cashion probably will have a hard
time holding on. He injured his arm
last year while with Montreal and was
let out, and if there is a return of that
trouble he is probably through with
base ball.
If Jack Bentley does not make good
as a pitcher for Cantillon, it is not un-
likely that he will be given a chance
at first base. for Bentley is properly
built for the place and incidentally
ought to develop into first class
hitter, for he has lot of natural
ability with the bat.
in base ball are not such that a player
like Ty Cobb could be prevented from
writing for the newspapers. He may
not write the stuff that is being pub
lished under his name. but it is sup
posed to be, and he is made to say
w

ern team. which he charges with hav-
ing been conducting a tipping bureau
on its own grounds. has not been sub
stantiated by facts. and Mr.. Cobb would
do well to go slow in his accusations.
else he may get some of the pub
locations which are foolish to publish
his stuff into libel suit.
Furthermore. ball player should be
broad minded enough not to criticise
base ball or rival players in the public
prints. Cobb is a great player. per-
haps the greatest that the game has
ever produced, but he still has a lot
to learn about entertaining his readers.
There is not the slightest doubt
about Clarence Rowland, the manager
of the Chicago White Sox, knowing base
ball thoroughly. He is an intelligent
fellow, who has made the game a
study for many years and ought to
be perfectly competent to manage a
team in any company. 1t is no re-
Election on Rowland that he was in the
minor leagues for many years, because
that sort of stay often is enforced by
conditions Had it been a matter of
personal choice. there is no doubt that

lead and apparently have the game

OF six rounds of exciting play the score

looking for the jinx.
Tommie Thompson Of the Station team
evidently will be unable to pitch any
this season. He went south with the
Georgetown base ball team this spring
and got into several early games, which
severely taxed his arm. owing to the
cold weather. Ever since he has been
unable to use his arm to any extent for
pitching purposes. Manager Hurney
sent him in against the Auditors last
week. but he was wild as ever, walking
eight men.

ed in the minors for years may
have been beneficial to him. There
have been good many managers of
major league ball teams in the past
who failed simply because they did
not have the minor league experience,
and Rowland appears to be we'll for
titled in this respect. There is not a
great deal of difference in base ball
in the minors and in the majors. SO
far as system of play is concerned.
though of course the majors have
players who are more capable to fol-
low instructions than the green fell
lows in the minors.
Aside from his wonderful ability as
a player. there is much to admire about
Hans Wagner. During his entire career
Wagner has never had run-in with
an umpire. He has never criticised an
other player. and, in fact. he has made
very few comments about anything,
preferring to attend to his own busi-
ness on all occasions. Wagner has
been a credit to the game. and that is
why his popularity has never been on
the wane. He has been a competent
and loyal athlete. and the day that he
retires will be regretted by all true
lovers of the sport That is lot more
than can be said of some of the other
stars who have been developed in base
ball.
There have been many ball games
lost by the breaks of luck going
against one side or the other at the
critical stage of game, but 1t is ques-
tionable whether base ball records
worse luck than Tom Hughes. the old
Washington pitcher, encountered while
apparently pitching his team to its
eighteenth consecutive victory in the
spring of 1912.
The game was played in Philadelphia
and the score stood 1 to in favor of
the Nationals in the last half of the
ninth There were two men out and
Baker was at the bat. Hughes work
ed two strikes on him, and then sent a
fast one through the middle Of the
plate, which Bakeh foul-tipped. The
ball struck Henry's big mitt. but fell
out. and on the very next ball pitched
Baker hit for home run over the
right field fence, tying the score, while
Strunk, who followed him in the bat
ting order. rolled little grounder to
Hughes and was out at first. The game
was won by the Mackmen in the tenth.
Hughes blames himself for allowing
Baker to hit II had no right to take
any chance with him at that stage, and
should have walked him and pitched to
Strunk," Hughes afterward said. But
that, of course, was second thought
after the game.
