DALE'S HURL|NC
PLEASES FANS
OF CINC'Y REDS
Young Pitcher Works Hard
From Start to Finish Send
ing Opposing Batters
Down in Order.
az C.. r., ZUBER.

70 CINCINNATI, June 23.-They still
are we'll punched in the race for the
National League pennant, and not one
OF the eight teams in the circuit can
be counted out OF the running at this
stage of the game. ThiS condition is
most extraordinary, when one consld-
ers that the season Is more than one
third over. and that there has been no
startling reversal in form in any OF
the eight teams now engaged In Dat
thing for honors.
While the Reds are far down In the
race, their ability should be judged
by their percentage as compared with
the leaders, rather than by their posi-
ton. Only a few games separate them
from the first division, while it would
be possible for them to take the lead
within a week, provided, Of course, the
other teams suffered reverses at the
same time. Local fans are beginning to
give more attention to percentages and
less to position, and the result is In
creased enthusiasm over the pros
poets OF Herzog's team.
Crowd Backs Team.
At last Sundays game with Phila-
delphia the large crowd evinced the
highest loyalty, and it is certain that
this generous support will be contin-
ued in the future, and especially at
the next two Sunday games, when the
Chicagos and St. Louis teams, respec'
lively, will be the Reds opponents.
Cincinnati fans are wondering 1t
the club has picked up real phenom,
in Pitcher Eugene Dale. This chap
was drafted from the international
League on what may be termed the
flimsiest kind OF dope. His record OF
losing more games than he won on
that circuit last year didn't give much
promise--so little, in fact, that he
wasn't taken particularly seriously on
the southern training trip. Then came
opportunities for him to finish game
now and then, and he invariably de-
lvered. During the past five or six
weeks he has been worked in turn, de-
livering brand of goods that Is bet
ter than anything shown by Red
twirler in many moons. His record OF
not allowing a New York player to
reach first during the first six innings
OF recent game, and his comeback
in his next time out-against Philadel-
phia Sunday-with only three men
facing him in each of the first eight
innings, promises to stand for a long
time.
Dale Works Hard.
Dale seems to have but one fault as
a pitcher. and that is that he works
too hard. Instead of outstanding his
strength and putting on the brakes
only when absolutely necessary, he is
putting something on every ball he
pitches. The result is that he tires
toward the close Of the contest, fact
which cost him the recent game with
the Giants already referred to, and
came near bringing about his defeat
by the Phillies last Sunday. With a
real wise catcher behind him-one
who will make him extend himself only
when it is absolutely necessary. Dale
will be one of the real finds of the
present season. Mathewson and other
great pitchers use extraordinary meas
ures only when compelled to- Dale, by
following this system, can bring home
as many coonskins as any twirler in
the business.

evidence in rebuttal.
Although the city has been reluctant
about using Clarence Kleinknecht. SUI
as a witness, depending solely upon
Chief Engineer Gluys for expert tes-

Chairman Duncan remarked that he
did not clearly understand what bear

opinion. the establishment of going

plant.
Because your plant has a competi.

hances its going concern value? MIR
Bond asked.
Most assuredly," Jessup replied.
John E. Peltz. a Richmond real es
tate man, was the last witness exam
ined yesterday. He testified that the
value of the property on which the
electric plant of the Light. Heat and
pouer cornany WAS Situated WAS 81
900. The commission engineers es
tablished a valuation of 81, 900 on thi,
property, and real estate men who
were witnesses for the city, testified
it was worth only $1,150.

BRITAIN TOLD Of
NEUTRAL RIGHTS
United States Not TO Recognize Valid
ity of Prize Court Proceedings
Under Restraints.

Washington, D. c., July 17.-Secre-

issued by the state department fol
lows:
In view of dicerences which are un-
derstood TO exist between the two gov
ernments as TO the principals Of law
applicable in prize court proceedings
in cases involving American Interest.
and in order to avoid any misunder-
standing as to the attitude of the
United States in regard to any such
proceedings, the government of the
United States informs the British gov
ernment that insofar as the interests
of American citizens are concerned, it
Will insist on their righos under the
principles and rules OF international
law as hitherto established, governing
neutral trade in time of war, without
limitation or impairment by orders in
council, or other municipal legislation
by the British government. and viii
not recognize the validity of prize
court proceedings taken under re-
straints imposed by British municipal
Law in derogation OF the rights Of
American citizens under international
law"

SERIOUS DAMAGE
BY RIVER FEARED
Kansas City Warned 1t May Look
for 2s-Foot Stage Sunday Night
Child Drowned.

Kansas City. Mo, July 17.-WhiIe
several tributaries Of the Kansas river
were falling today the stream itself
had mounted to 21.8 feet at Topeka. a
rise of fve feet eight inches since yes
terday morning. and the local weather
bureau warned the big packing con-
Germs and other business interests in
the west bottoms here to prepare for a
28-foot stage at Kansas City by Sun
day night.
Residents of the low lands east of
Kansas City also were charged by the
government officials to expect q 30
foot mark in the Missouri river. The
Kansas river here this morning stood
at 23.5 feet, a fall OF two-tenths Of d
foot over night. The Missouri here
was at 27.5 feet, a raise of two-tenths
of a foot since yesterday afternoon. If
the rivers here go as high as the
weather bureau predicts, serious dam
age is feared.
Scattering rains fell in the Kansas
river watershed last night. However,
the precipitations Of Thursday night.

tributaries into the main stream, are
causing the trouble
The first death in the swollen waters
occurred at Seneca, Kan, early today.
An infant son of Benjamin Wichim
was drowned when a buggy in which
Wichim, his wife and the child were
riding was overturned while fording
a small stream.
Conditions in northwest Missouri
were improved today, No rain fell in
the district during the previous a
hours and all streams are receding
gradually, There had been no trains
north, east OF south from st. Joseph
for three days until last night, when
service on the Chicago Great Western
line was resumed. Country roads near
St Joseph are impossible because
many small bridges have been swept
away. Not since pioneer days has
travelling across the country been so
difficult.
Lima. Ohio, July 1.-THE river at
Lima has dropped as rapidly as it rose
and by tomorrow should be at normal
level.
Columbus, Ohio. July 1.-THE pas
sage Of last night without any con
siderable raifaIl resulted in improv-
ed conditions early today throughout
the Ohio food district, While many
thousands of acres of land remained
under water, practically all rivers

Employees Told There Is No
Assurance They Will Be
Paid for Their Labor.
REFUSE TO LEAVE JOBS
Injunction Bills Filed by
Munro Are Causing Much
Worry at Capital.

Springfield, Ill. July 17.-Many en-
pIoyes in the Office of the secretary Of
state were told today that no assur-
ance could be given them that salar-
les would be paid and that they would
have to agree to work at the risk of
not getting paid. A similar order was
issued earlier in the week by State
Treasurer Andrew Russell to all en-
pIoyes in his Office affected by the in
junction bills filed in the Sangamon
county circuit couTt by Fayette S.
Munro, acting for John Fergus, a tax
payer of. Chicago.
State Auditor Brady's employees were
told that they might remain at work
under the same conditions. In fact
every office III the state house with the
exception of the Office Of Adjutant Gen
eral Frank S. Dickson, has a number of
employees working without assurance
of remuneration.
"Twenty-One of my guards, who
police the state house, were asked for
their designations as a result OF these
bills" said Treasurer Russell q ex-
plained the situation to them. and to
a man they decided to continue to work
and take chance on their pay. 1t is
necessary that the department heads
inform their employees Of the situation
SO that the employees, If finally de-
priyed Of their salaries, cannot sue the
department heads"
No date has been set as yet for the
hearing of the suits.
