RESULT OF POPE'S PLEA

Washington. Aug. l7.-There will
be no armtstice as a result OF tia

among the allied embassies. An arm

to be reason for the GOODNESS with
which the note has been received -

But this does not mean that the
note Is done with. 1t lies tonight on
President Wilson's desk.
Allied diplomats at Washington
have already transmitted to the pres

the attitude of their countries. Each
one of then has told him that peace

utterance may be expected from the
president. The best prediction IN

GOVERNOR ORDERS
INVESTIGATION INTO
LYNCA|NG Of NEGRO
Broken In Quiet, Pcaceable, Law
Abiding Northumberland.
NEGRO WHO ATTACKED YOUNG
WOMAN MEETS SPEEDY END
His Intended Victim Saved Hersch
BY Rare Presence OF Mind and at
Same Time Recognized Assailans.

Governor Stuart last night ordered
an investigation into the lynching of
the negro William Page, which took
place Wednesday night at Lillian.
Northumberland county. within a few
miles OF Heathsville. after he had at
tempted to assault Miss Mary Truitt.
daughter of Captain w. s. Truitt. a
former citizen of that section. The
executive is determined to go to the
bottom Of the lynching. and place
the blame on those who were respon-
sible for breaking Virginia's record
Of eighteen years without single
unlawful execution.
The lynching of the negro shocked
Z community which is yet dazed with
the audiences OF the occurrence.
Page. who was recently accepted in
the new national army of the coun-
try. was hanged from the branches
Of big tree in a colored community
in which he was well known. But
four hours elapsed from the time Of
the attempted assault until the body
OF the negro was dangling from the
tree. The whole procedure took place
quietly and without disorder. Quietly
the men assembled for their deadly
work, and as quietly they dispersed
of the lynching. Governor Stuar> ex-
pressed his great sorrow over the ac..'
Story Of Crime.
The attempted assault on the
daughter of Captain Truitt occurred
about 5 o'clock Wednesday night when
Miss Truitt was returning in q buggy
to her home. with her cousin, Miss
Mary Rich. When they were within
almost hearing distance OF their home,
they heard a movement in the bushes,
and a moment later they were faced
by a big negro who stood near their
horses head. and as the animal
stopped the man walked quickly to the
side of Miss Truitt. He grabbed both
Miss Truitt and her cousin by the
arms. and dragged them from the
buggy. The former fought the negro,
scratching him, pokinE his eyes, and
striking him with all her force. This,
however. did not deter him. and whom
he got both Of the young women to
the ground. the younger. Miss Rich.
COLLAPSED.
Seeing that she was unconscious
he turned his attention to Miss Truftt.

EDDIE CICOTTE'S
new BALL MAKES
REAL SENSATION

Since Russ Ford's famous emery
ball that broke both ways has been
taboo, occasional report has arisen Of
otter freak deliveries ttat caused
Hetsmen to worry.
Cy FaIkenberg is credited with be-
icG able TO make a ball take queer
movements By means of the use OF
licoriCe, but It is CicOtte's shine BALI
that is the big noise Just now.
Cico'tes new stunt, which Is tech
rically @. K, having already been
rJleG OIL b. Ban Johnson, is merely
ar addptst.on OF the splitter. The
shine" effect is secured by means
y: rubbing the bill on wet spot on
the shit 'front.'. With a smooth space
anG iOIGh space adjoining, ne is
e:au;cd 10 get a stronger grip on
o:Ie side of the ball than the other, a
queer jump being thus given the ball
when il is thrown, while the sphere is
also given disconcGrting and streaky
appearance in passage.
Whatever may be said of Cicotte's
new delivery. it is indeed effective,
for, with its assistaL~e, the veteran,
who is next to Eddie Plank the oldest
pitcher in the league, is enjoying his
lest season ever. He has pitched in
nine victories, four of which have
been shut-outs and one a no-hit affair.
Those who have watched his work
declare that he has more speed than
ever and better control. Certainly ne
has shown remarkable consistency
along with brilliancy and If indica.
tions are prophetic he should be one
Of the best performers in the entire
big ring this year.
Umpire Bill Evans is a keen critic
Of the fine points of the game and he
has made a study of Cicotte's new de-
livery. He says that it is worked on
exactly the opposite principle from
the emery ball, and describes its ope-
ration and effect as follows:
Rubs Ball Smooth
"Cicotte is working on a theory ex-
actly opposite to the emery ball." ex-
plains Evans. HE vets a spot on his
uniform and on this he rubs a ball
until one side is very white and
smooth. The other Is rough and soil
ed. With the ball properly smootned
and polished he gets more of a grip
on one side than on the other and the
ball acts exactly as the emery ball
acted.
Then, again, the effectiveness of
this delivery Is increased by the white
and, dark spots on the ball. There is
something of an optical illusion when
the bright spot is turning all the time
as 1t goes to the batsman. But there
IL nothing illegal about the delivery"
