and Ernest Rettales, an employee OF
the custom house at Nogales, Sonora,
are held here today in connection with
an alleged shortage of $4,000 in the

Nogales stated that Mexican bank
there had been robbed Of $4,000 In
gold and currency but when the two
men were taken into custody here.
they told of the discovery by Mexican
officials of the deficit in the custom

Somebody sprinbled the pepper box
over the Quakers before Wednesdays
double header, and in two big innings,
one In each game, the Vets were de-
feated, the first game going Is to 6,
and the second 8 to 8.
1t was an uphill fight for the first
three innings of the opening contest,
but in the fourth the Quakers made
the grade and after that it was easy
going. Pillett started for Gilbert, but
lasted just two and half innings. In
that time, Nee's Orphans slipped six
runs across the plate while the Quak-
ers were making one. Pillett was
jerked with two down in the third, and
Cy Young was given the horsehide.
How They Did II.
The Quaker half of the third was the
one big parade of the day. Before
Jack Rowan was taken off the mound,
four runs were across the pan, and
by the time Schettler had settled down
to business, four more had been mark
ed up on the score board. The eighth
inning found four more Quakers across
the pan, and the firsts contest ended
with the Vets far behind.
Pat Donahue thought he was in
Terre Haute for the greater part of
the first game. The Quakers stole
everything in sight, and Pat should
consider himself lucky that he still has
his mask. Evers led the pilfering
from the first inning, when, after he
had received a pass he stole second
and third and romped home for the
first Quaker marker on bad throw.
After that It was easy. Every one on
the team took chance, and got away
with it. The only man on the Rich.
mond team that could not connect with
the stealing party was Kelley who
was caught off on his lone attempt.
Evers Steals Bases.
Evers stepped up within sight Of the
league records for stolen bases with
five swipes in the first game yester-
day afternoon. According to the pub
lished standings. Joe now has 81
steals, which is two behind the record,
bu: Joe says that he received two
more on the official records at Mus
kegon than was given him in the pub
lished scores, so this would give him
90 stolen bases, the league record.
With eighteen more games, Joe should
easily beat the record. which has been
standing for four years
Bird Seed" Rowan was the victim
again in the second game. Jack last
ed for five and one-third innings Of
the second contest, and was then re-
placed by Manager Nee. The Quakers
again had little upgrade. but after
their work in the first, they were not
bothered by the Vets one run lead,
and the sixth inning of the second
brought seven runs.
Stolen bases were frequent in the
second game also. Crouch, Rapp and
Schick pulling them off in the final
chapter.
