spurts that are just now kiting them
along at high rate of speed.
The recent postponements of the
Philly games haven't proved Oppres-
sive to the Cubs. More time is given
the cTippIes to recover from their in
juries, so a regular team can be put
in the field. And every ounce of
strength will be needed against the
Braves, who are driving at a terrific
speed, having just cleaned three out
Of four from Pittsburgh, no mean
feat.
Because of their recent uprising
the Braves are tied with Brooklyn for
second place, three games back of
the Phillies, but only a single game
ahead of the Cubs. And it is prob
able the Braves will be handicapped
through the series by the loss Of John
EveTs, captain, second baseman, and
a pUgilist without win to his name.
John has been set down by Presi-
dent Tener for his last losing battle
with Fred Clarke. This time the
National league president may take
drastic action. EYers has been Of
Tending in one way or another for
the entire season and has been dealt
with very lightly.
He has fought with Umpire 0uig-
ley, and also declared during a game,
so all the spectators could hear, that
the race was fixed. John appears to
believe he can say or do anything and
get away with it because of his abil-
ity on the field.
Tener's policy in the past has been
to fine an athlete and let him remain
in the game, so the team will not be
weakened because of the faults of
one man. That is the proper idea,
so long as it is not abused by the
athletes. 1t hasn't been successful
in the case of Evers.
Bresnahan has had himself placed
on the leagues disabled list, and will

Their puzzlement has been the best
of the entire season, though the team
has won only two games in six
played.
Probably it is because conditions
are becoming familiar to the bOxmen.
Previous seasons have accustomed
them to a team which does little or
no hitting, and needs a shut-OUt or
one-run game in order to win. And
before that kind of playing the SOx
pitchers have been working through
the east.
None of RowIand's sIuggers have
been anywhere near their marks, and
the defense, except in the box, has
not been tight enough to hold down
the enemy. In New York two games
were kicked away when they appear
ed safely won. The first game in
Washington yesterday was also toss
ed off, as Jim Scott would never have
been scored on but for errors.
1t takes runs to win games, how
ever, and Jim couldn't have landed a
victory in two games, the way his
mates were supporting him with the
bat. Frequent opportunities were
presented for the scoring Of runs, but
each time the Sox failed in the pinch.
With John Collins in the dumps, so
far as batting is concerned. there is
no explanation apparent for Roth and
LieboId to decorate the bench. This
column isn't managing the SOx team,
Pants Rowland being paid for that,
but the fact remains that Roth has
always hit when used as a regular,
and LieboId is also capable Of bingle
oftener than once a week.
Collins remains on duty, despite his
uselessness with the bat at the pres
ent time. His slump has extended
over nearly a month, and rest now
seems the only way to shake it. John
has been a regular on the team for

THAW FIRST WITNESS
IN TRIAL FOR SANITY
Attorney Said Thaw Was Not Now
Insane and Would Not Be a
Menace to Community.

NEW YORK, June %. - Harry K.
Thaw took the stand as the first wit
ness in his trial for sanity before a
jury here.
John b. Stanchfeld presented the
case for Thaw, reviewing the cireum-
stances of the killing of Stanford
White and arguing that Thaw is not
now insane and would not be q menace
to community where he might be re-
siding.
The attorney went at some length
into the matter of Thaw s marriage
with Evelyn Nesbit and her relations
with White.
Touching upon the second trial of
Thaw for killing White, Mr.. Stanch-
field quoted William Travers Jerome,
the prosecutor, as saying that 'no one
pretends that Thaw is insane as he
now sits in court. -
Thaw in escaping from Matteawan
violated no law, declared Mr.. Stanch-
field. lie walked out because he be-
lieved he was sane and was being IL
legally detained, he said
Since then, the attorney declared
Thaw had been through every court in
the state to fight for his rights
Never during that time has there
been any display of temper on the
| part of Harry Thaw, he said
Deputy Attorney General Cook dc.
clared the state had no interest in the
| case other than as to whether Thav
was insane and menace to society
| Paranoia, he said, was in evidence
| throughout Thaw S youth. He had
hidden behind the skirts of Evelyf
/ Nesbit, the only witness who had ties
titled rs to the depravity of Stanford
| White.
When Thaw was called Mr.. Stanch
field questioned him in low tones an,
| Thaw answered in equally inaudihl
tones, He testified that when he lief
Mafteawan he believed he had recov
cred his sanity and physicians tol,
him so.
Referring to Thaw's trip throno'
md various stops in Canada Nh
Stanchfield asked "You found nc
quaintanees at the various place
where YOU stopped?'
s'T was verv fortunate in formin
: acquaintances, Thaw replied. M
Stanchfield asked the witness to Civ
names. dates and nlaees in detail an
this Thaw did without hesitation.
He was asked to tell of the examit
alton as to his sanity made in Mar

dite him to New York He name

SEVERELY FROM FIRE
Buildings in Every City in Imperial
Valley Damaged by a Series of
Shocks - Fatalities in Little Town

Ell CENTRIC, Calf, June %. = Late
reports indicate that Imperial valley
was rocked from end to end last night
by a series of earthquake shocks.
More than score of persons are
reported dead. Buildings in every city
in the valley have been damaged.
Calexico suffered severely from fire.
Damage in the earthquake district is
estimated at more than 100000.
Five persons are reported dead at
Mexicali, a little town across the river
from Calexico, consisting principally of
saloons, gambling halls and other re-
sorts not permitted on the American
side.
The disturbances, it is believed, orig.
mated somewhere in the old volcanoes
of Lower California. Today the cluster
of little cities in the Imperial valley
are apparently in ruins. Buildings
were rent asunder.
The first shock which occurred about
8 o'clock was the most severe. Two
others followed. After the first the
stricken towns were in darkness except
for the light furnished by blazing

Resigned everywhere. Ranchers and city
