The arrival Of European in Zulu

the public functions of chiefs. such as
the feast Of the first fruits and at roy

are possessed by every chief and tribe.

II is understood that there are about
half a dozen more witnesses TO be
examined by the state. among them
being Max Ettinger. investigator who
worked up several OF the blackhand
cases IN this county.
Tony Luppo and Jimmy DiBiasea

most part with the testimony of Tony

during the day and testified as 10
certain statements made. and indict-
ments
Luppo's testimony went farther into
the workings OF the blackhand society
than ne did at any previous trial He
stated that the blackhand charges $50
for inflicting a wound on the face:
or $3.50 for staying the victim. In
this respect he stated that Jimmy Ia
Biasea had given TO the blackhand
society a picture Of his sonin-law at
Pittsburgh and a bottle OF pOison-the
picture 10 identify him with and the
poison 10 kill him.
However. this diversion from the
point in issue did not prevent him
from tesufying that Cambria had
warned him against telling Of any
members Of the society other than
the ones in custody. He claimed that
long before he finally came over TO
the states side.
Court Sten6grapher Walters and
Deputy Clerk ClOuse were next inter
rogated and were followed by Jimmy
DBiasea.
In the main he said that Cambria
had told him not to tell certain things
and that after he had been up in court
that he was called presumably 10 he

was taken 10 Attorney 8 o. Boyce's

In 1912 Kirkby qualified at Wheaton
but was soon eliminated. II so hap
pened that when he reached Chicago
he had been playing in one tournament
after another and so was badly over

stale to hit anything like his best clip.
Nineteen hundred and thirteen az
Garden City was an even worse jolt.
That summer Kirkby had played only
one round Or golf from July ith to
the edge Of the championship. For two
months he had not hit a shot. Two
days before he went to Garden City
and reeled of "a. But when qualify
ing day came he found the lack of play

over the green into deep traps and be-

Frank Moran is rounding into form
at White Sulphur Springs for his con

his bout with Jess Willard Francis
Charles has been leading life Of COM

Dillon articles were signed. Then he

laid in a choice supply of bricks which
he hopes to sell TO farmers along the
trail.
Moran is serenely confident as to the
outcome of the fight with Dillon.

TERROR TO BATTERS
FOR MANY YEARS
Name Written In Bold Letters
Across Pages of Base
ball History.
BY FRANK O'NEILL.

The boom Of base hits that crashed
from the bats of the Washington Sena-
tors in Chicago, on June 10, sounded
the requiem OF Big Ed Walsh, Of the
Chicago White Sox, king Of the spit
ball pitchers, and one Of the greatest
hurlers who ever played the great
American game. Walsh made his bow
for the season firm in the the convic-
ton that he could defy tradition and
come back. Never for moment did
lie entertain a doubt that those once
mighty muscles would refuse 70 re-
spond 10 the demands made upon them.
He tried. and like others. like so
many others. he failed, and perhaps
he has pitched his last game.

Of the world TIE weak fall early.
The strong plunge on for while until
the hand of Time presses heavily, rob
bling them Of their speed. casting a
fog over the batting eye. Then they
drop out with only a dream OF glory
won in the days Of their youth to
comfort their declining days.
So let il be with Walsh. If he must
pass through the portals to bourne
from which none return. In his reign
lie ruled with the strength Of giant,
giving no quarter, and asking none
Nor does he ask for any now.
His Fame Secure.
Walsh may step down from the
ranks. but his fame is secure. He
has written his name across the pages
of baseball history in a bold hand,
and in letters that will not fade. When
the story Of great pitchers is written
a chapter full of interest will be de-
voted to him and his wonderful ca
reer. He will be named as the one
pitcher who never hesitated TO jump
into any game which needed his pres
cnce. no matter II he had pitched q
full nine innings or more on the day
previous. In 1908 he took part in no
fewer than sc games. pitching 464 in
nings, winning 20 games and losing is.

earned runs to the game. This was
his high water mark.

told before. he took part in GO games.
No other pitcher in these modern times
has done so much work in one season.
Nor was il only one season with the
Big Moose.
In 1909 he worked in 80 games, win

The Big Moose" as Walsh has been
called by the Chicago fans is famed
for his spitball delivery. Ed did not
discover this way Of pitching, but he
lmmortalized il. lie showed TO the
baseball world the wonderful posi-
bilities of this method of pitching. He
carried the spit ball TO the last eX-
IRENE in effectiveness, and not the

the Cub were at their best was so
hard TO hit as the Walsh dampened

Made Bow in 1902.
Walsh. who was born at Plains,
Penn, on May 10. 1882, made his pro
fessional debut with the Meriden club
Of the Connecticut League in 1902. He
worked there in 1903, also, and then
went to the Newark team of the Inter
national League. From the New Jer-
sey city he went to the White Sox in
1904. and has been there since.
In 1904 and 1905 he did comparatively
little work He worked in nine com
plete games in 1904 and in eleven the
year following In 1905, when the Sox
won the American League pennant and
captured the worlds championship, he
did his full share. He worked IN Al
games, winning II and losing ID, al
lowing 2.96 earned runs 70 the game.
He was prominent in the games for
the worlds series.
From 1906 10 1912 Walsh was a ter
ror 10 the batters. In 1907 he was on
part in So games, working 1868 innings,
allowing 1927 hits and PSI earned runs
and winning q games and losing Is
for an average Of 500.
In 1912 Walsh was the only reliable
pitcher on the team, and he was
worked TO a FRAGILE He took part in
60 games, pitching 9e9 innings, allow
ing 1872 hits and allowing an average
of 2.65 earned runs. He won n games
and lost II for an average OF .6l4.
That was his last year as hrss
string pitcher. His arm just wore out
in the harness, and, all unwillingly, he
was forced to rest
