CULLOP BLEW IN
: TENTH AND YANKS
BEATEN BY INDIANS

New York, Aug. 1o-Home runs
are becoming as common at the Polo
Grounds as slackers in Oklahoma.
There were four circuit clouts made
at the Brush Stadium on Wednes-
day and Tim Hendryx. the lone sur
vivor of the major league Tim family,
made another there yesterday. I'm
fortunately the bases att the time
were as empty as a man dying from
starvation, SO the wallop had no
bearing on the general result and the
Yankees lost to Cleveland by to 2.
The best that Donovan's men could
do was to make the enemy go 10 in
nings to win.
It might be more proper to say that
Nicholas Cullop, the eminent south
paw from Virginia, blew the game.
Nick was not at his best. He twirled
only the last two innings, but in that
time permitted five hits and gave a
pass. Two of these hits were as I'M
important as a Prohibitionist at a
brewers convention, but the other
three and the base on balls accounted
for three runs.
Otis Lambeth started the battle for
Cleveland, while Urban Shocker did
mound work for the Yanks. Urban
gave way to a pinch hitter in the
eighth fran while Otis was tagged in
the ninth for the good Of the Cleve-
land cause. Up to that time he had
been going well and had held the
Yankees to six hits, but it must have
been thought that he was on the
verge of breakdown, as Bagby was
called upon to relieve him.

as if Lambeth would pitch a shut out
| game. The Yanks had had just one
real opportunity to score on him and
had gummed that up by poor work
on the bases. Neither did the eighth
frame appear to promise much. A
messenger came dashing in from the
Donovan. encampment in right field
and High was sent to bat for Walters.
He was thrown out by Wambsganss
Caldwell batted for Shocker and
Chapman and Harris disposed Of him.
Then Tim Hendryx gained the ap-
prevail of the 5000, fans present by
lifting home run into the left field
b1eachers.,
The YanksN tied the score by nice
rally in the ninth. Peck started the
frame with single to left. Here
Lambeth was sent to the shower and
Bagby went to the mound. Pipp
flied out but Baker hit to left. The
ball Iced away from Smith who just
failed to pick it OF the grass and
did hold it to a single.
Marsans hit over second, scoring
Peck and sending Baker to the mid
die sack. Russell then went in to run
for Baker, but there the rally ceased.
Miller and Nunamaker both were
easy outs.

bles Miss Mary K BrowLe and Mrs.
Robert Fl. Williams both of Califor-

Bjurstedt and Mrs Rewson L. Wood
by n score of eb-4, 4-s, e-s. The
match resulted in one of the fastest
contests between four women seen in
the East In years, and it was only
perfection OF team play and Miss
Brownies splendid steadiness over
head that brougf victory to the West
over the East.
Strachan's work in the match
against Voshe1l and Baggs was note
worthy The Californian was q mar

territory. and his terrific forehand
drives simply battered down all OPP

The flrst set of the doubles match

Ba8Gs and voshell supplied a. closer
contest than expected. Also it was
one Of the best mems competitions of
the day. Strachan and Inman led ri

match brought to deuce when Inman
lost his service in love game and
voshell captured his with the points

merry struggle with sparkling raj

the day or before lifting one who is
being hit hard from the box.
There has been only one disappoint-
ment connected with the Chicago club
this season. Joe Jackson and Eddie
Collins, heretofore rivals Of Cobb and
Speaker for batting honors, have
slumped. Both Of these players are
usually good for season average of
$40 or $50, and both of them have
Eslumped SO this year that they are
many points below the 300 mark. Had
these players batted at their normal
pace this year the Chicago club Of
f1cials could put their world series on
the market at once.

YANkS' MANAGER
WORRIED OVER HIS
LONG SUSPENSION

New York, Aug. 1o.-The why's and
|wherefores OF Wild Bill Donovan's be-
ing wild is rapidly drawing near an
end. The solution Of the mystery Is
close at hand. in fact, yesterday we
encountered Wild William Somewhere
In Harlem and by the time he had
completed a few paragraphs Of re-
marks the trick of deciding the where
flores Of his wildness was reduced to
the simplicity of taking candy from
an urchin.
| The Yankee boss is enduring an en-
forced idleness plastered on him by
Ban johnson because of alleged mis-
conduct perpetrated in a verbal tilt
with Umpire Bill Dineen at the Polo
Grounds several days ago The infor-
nation divulged by BILL leading to a
solution Of the causes for his wildness
has to 10 with two considerations
First, Bali is getting a. bit anxious as
to the termination Of his Punishment.
Second, he Is wondering just what re-
port was sent along to League head
quarters that resulted in his being set
down SO harsh1y.
| Donovan was suspended because of
his intervention in & situation in
which Umpire Dineen was rebuking
Catcher Nunama,ker for a kick over a
called strike. The decision was greet
ed by a snort or two from the Yankee
bench, and Ddneen promptly banished
Pitcher Shawkey. Then he followed
by ordering Nunamaker out.
| Donovan inquired why Nunamaker
was being put out, since he had said
nothing after returning to the bench.
Ddneen explained by saying that he
had ordered Nunamaker out when he
kicked on the strike decision. But
Catcher Yelle of the Detroit club said
he did not hear Nunamaker ordered
out. So also said Shocker, who fol-
lowed at bat. Hence Donovan wanted
to know why Nunamaker was being
banished, and for his pains got an or
der to walk the plank himself
That's absolutely all that I said or
did" remarked Bill 1T just asked
why Nunamaiker was being ordered
out: and when Dineen said he had al
ready put him, out I asked the two
players whether they had heard such
an order, and neither had. I made
no abusive remarks to Dineen. Neither
did make any kind OF scene or dis
turbance. Yet ge- notice that 1 am
suspended, and the notice doesn't say
for how long or mention any specific
reason"

There will be great time in New
London Aug. 20, when the Elks' Plant
Day celebration will be held. This is
an annual celebration and the fact
that Lawrence, New London's great
rival, is to be the opposing club, will
make the contest interesting.
The hard hitting Lawrence club
will be at Newf1eld park tomorrow.
Ferguson will probably go against
Jack Flynn's sluggers. Schneider, the
Lawrence shortstop, is the leagues
best hitter, and several big league
clubs are after him
Chef Sweat, the Portland second
baseman, is catcher by trade. He
is dangerous hitter, too. Yesterday
he got three welts in four times up.
Otto Deininger, the former Bridge
porter, played good game around
first for Portland, but displayed no
more hitting ability than when he
was with Bridgeport. y
The "shine BALI used by Pitcher
Spade of Portland, caused quite an
argument in the ninth. Spade. who
is recruit from the st. Louis
Browns vets the ball and then rubs
it on his trousers. The Bridgeport
players claimed this treatment made
the surface of the ball rough and

|. w. w. Arrested

A. l.. Carpenter of Spokane was
arrested by Chief Stillinger and Of
ficer Summerfeld at the Hotel Mos
COW Friday morning suspected of
being an |. w. w. propagandist at
work to influence the trial of T. E.
Hawkins, H. E. Herd and Charles
Clifford, the three |. w. w. agita-
tors whose trial came up in district
court on Monday.
Carpenter put up nasty fight
when confronted by the officers
making it necessary to put the
handouts on him. The officers re-
sorted to the ruse of calling him to
the telephone and when he came
from his room confronted him with
a revolver. After his arrest he was
placed in the Jail under special
guard and not permitted to consult
anyone.
Frank L. Moore, the prosecuting
attorney, swore to an information
against the man charging him with
having concealed weapons. A re-
volver and a mass of |. w. w.
literature were found in his room.
Carpenter came to the hotel last
Sunday and began distributing his
stuff soon after his arrival. 1t is
presumed that he was working up
sentiment to have bearing on the
three men to be tried next week.
A. L. Carpenter was arraigned
before Judge Nelson in probate
court Monday afternoon on a new
complaint charging him with
felony in attempting to influence
jurors. 1t is set out in the COM
plant that on November % Carpen-
ter wilfully and feloneously under
took to intimidate and corrupt GER
tain persons intended as trial jurors
in the case of the State VS.. Miles

Cause To Be Thankful

Every farmer in this community
had cause to be thankful yesterday
that he is living in the Potlatch
country, one of the richest farming
spots in the world. Every year the
fact is being impressed upon us
more fully that the possibilities of
the Potlatch have not yet been
reached and that the value of this
productive land is still underesti-
mated.
Farmers have left this section
and gone to Oregon where they
paid 5000 an acre for land without
grumbling, land that will not pro.
duce on the average of half as much
per acre as land will here. You will
hear the remark often that one
hundred dollar land in this country
is too high but the fact of the mat
ter is that at that price land is still
a mighty good buy and it is prac.
tically certain that a steady increase
in price will be seen for some time
to come.
A travelling representative for
Lily's Seed Co. was in town last
week and made the statement that
in all his travels through the north
west this summer and fall he saw
nothing in the way of farming con-
ditions that would equal the Pot
latch. Crops here averaged much
better than any other place which
he had visited. When farm land
can pull through a drouth such as
we had last season, there is little to
fear along that line providing prop
er farming conditions are followed.
Better farming is being practiced
and more economical methods used
so that the prosperity of this sec
tion is assured. Surely we have
much to be thankful for.

Receive French War Cross

The French war cross has been
conferred on the Is American Off
GERS and men who were cited with
their company by the French gener-
al commanding the sector in which
the Americans were stationed at
the time Of the first German raids
on the night of Nov. 23. The men
were decorated Monday and were
informed that they must keep the
medals in their possession, but
must not wear them until congress
gives its authorization. The cere-
mony was an impressive one.
An American general presented
the decorations and citations, giving
the regimental colonel those for
the men who were killed. They
will be sent to their next of kin.

School Notes

Turkey and its government form
ed the subject of an interesting ad-
dress given before the high school
last Thursday by Mr.. John Lewtas.
Thanksgiving is being observed
by school holiday from Thursday
to Monday.
The new "Six and Six" plan is
now in smooth running order. This
plan groups the six upper grades.
which are divided into Junior and
Senior high schools.
Under this system all the work
in these grades is departmentalized,
making possible a greater degree
of efficiency in all the class work.
1t also insures a gradual change
from grade to high school methods.

From Camp Lewis

Bruce Carlock, who used to live
on American ridge writes from
Camp Lewis, where he is stationed
with the 1862 Ambulance Co.
Il am in the medical corps now
and like it much better than l did
the infantry. Still it is very dam
gerous, l think the most dangerous
in the service but l think can do
more good by helping in the first
aid work.
We have very nice company of
boys. Most of them are medical
students.
would be very glad to come to
Idaho for a few days visit but can
not. Our orders now are to be
ready to board ship at IL hours
notice. Our officers think we will
be sent to the Hawaiian Islands
soon.
Eight thousand boys left here to-
day for somewhere. The number
included about forty of my best
friends. The boys were all cheer
full yet they all seemed. to have that
determined feeling that I suppose
all true soldiers have.
We have a very beautiful and
sanitary cantonment here. There
are twelve fine Y. M. C. A. build
ings where we have music, enter
tainments and church every night.
They are doing great work in the

Charged With Burglary

Fred Allen and Henry Meyer
were arrested in Orofno last week
and taken to Moscow Saturday
where they were charged with
burglarizing the two stores here
Friday Nov. 16. The young men
were arrested by Deputy Sheriff E.
W. Jewell, of Clearwater county,
upon advises of Sheriff Campbell of
Latah county.
The arrests were made after in
vestigations by private detective
led him to believe the boys were
guilty. The evidence upon which
the charges were name has not been
made public. The boys were re-
leased after giving bonds to appear
for examination Nov. 80.
At the time of their arrest they
were on their way to A. E. Wilcox's
farm where they had taken a con-
tract of clearing some brush land.
The fact that a safe was cracked in
Culdesac in the same manner the
work was done here, a little less
than week after the job was done
here, is very favorable evidence
that the boys are not guilty, as
they were under arrest at Orofno
at the time Of the Culdesac burg
larry. The inference is that a pro-
fessional gang is working in this
territory.
