Association baseball club, who is

Clarence Euell, a negro waiter at
the English Hotel cafe, remained
locked up in a cell at Central police
station yesterday. The police were
searching for a woman who was said
of the shooting, but they have found
no trace of her since she disap-
peared during the hubbub.
The trouble leading to the shoot
ing is said to have started over the
amount of sugar in the bawl on the
table at which Shay was sitting.
Shay first made his objection to a
colored bus boy and then to Euell.
The latter, it is said, obtained two
sugar bowls from nearby tables and
placed them before the ballplayer.
1t was following thiN that the shoot
ing took place.
Shay was sent to police headquar-
ters and Euell to a hospital, where
he died an hour later. Shay has
refused to make any kind of state
ment, other than when shown the re-
volver to say that it looked like his
weapon, and to assert that the
waiter called him vile name. He
has not admitted that a woman was
with him, although the police ques-
toned him closely on this subject.
There were no other diners in the
cafe at the time.

marked changes in the standing of

Louis held fourth place a few days
ago while the standing of last sea-

As. result it can be seen that of
the four Eastern clubs the New York
Nationals is the only combination to
improve it's standing, going from last
to first place, while the four western
teams have either held their own or
bettered their positions over those of
