ALLEGED FORGERS
 PARTIALLY RECOVER MONEY

At the trial this morning before a jury of six men in Justice Nelson's court to recover the money which was found in the poss on of J. G. Gerard and wife, alleged forgers, the jury returned a verdict in favor of the eight plaintiffs, the amount in- volved being $4943 in cash. The holders of the bogus checks are City Meat Market, Farmers Supply Co.,, L. \. Murrah X Co.,, II. A. Hamilton X Co.,, Ozan Mercantile Co.,, Hamm Mercantile Store. N. B. Nelson's Jew .eelry Store and J. NJ. Dukes Market. The amount recovered was pro rated equally among the above firms and individuals. Part of the checks were for Sl2.35 and part for S1O.35.
 Gerards wife testified at the trial that they had only $41.00 in their possession, but was contradictcd by Constable Fred Murrah who took the mcney over when the man and woman were arrested. There was also some silk hose and silk cloth found near where the woman took the money off her person, but she denied the owner ship of the goods.
 After the preliminary trial yester- day of the alleged forgers, the re- ceivers of the worthless checks imme- diately set about to run an attach ment on the money which was in the woman's possession, which will reim- purse them about 50 per cent.

ly boiling over these pitchers get BY
and look like invincible parties. They
are heroic guys, and loud is the praise
for their stuff"
But there are other pitchers who
are ambitious enough to do a bit Of
fielding on occasion, covering first
base, backing up the catcher and
also protecting third on throws to
that corner. They are the boys who
are alive to every opportunity and
will win more often than the station
airy shooters.
Mathewson, Brown, Gene Packard,
Ferdie Schupp, Claude Cooper,
Claude Hendrix, Dick Rudolph and
Grover Alexander are only a few of
those in the National who field as
well as pitch. All of their defense
doesn't rely on their pitching arms
and the hands and feet of their field
eTs.
RoIIie Zeider has left the team be-
cause of the death of his father and
will not be back until Monday. In
the meantime Hunter will play third
and Deal short. If RUether was not
needed in the box Mitchell might sta
ton him back on first and let Mer-
kle. take Zeider's place, for Ruether
is hitting the ball, and hitting is al
ways needed. He pinched for Deal
yesterday, tripled with the bases full
and counted himself on a sacrifice fly.
That was all the scoring the Cubs
did.

with two out, and Jackson could have
begun to run with the pitchers wind
up, in which case he could have
scored on a single just as easily.
This is the second guess, of course,
and it is easy to figure the plays aft
erward. In defense Of the play as
made, it can be said that Bagby was
in a hole and was compelled to put
the ball across the plate. But he
would have been in exactly the same
position on the next pitch. Appar-
emily the Hose had no respect for the
arm Of Steve O'Neil. Four of them
tried to steal. Three he caught and
the fourth would have been out sew
eraI feet if Wamby had not dropped
a perfect throw.
Running wild on the bases was
failing of last season. It is good
strategy against some teams, but not
against one which has a catcher like
O'Neill.
Liebold had some difficulty in de-
Tending right field, but cancelled
these liabilities with three hits Of the
seven made by the locals. Our slug
ging trio, Collins, Jackson and
Felsch, failed to put the ball safely
in a composite ten times at bat.
Fred Mitchell must start on his
mems brains where Joe Tinker left
off. He must teach them to be alive
and present a defense for every play.
If Phil Douglass had been alive yes
terday he would not have been de-
feated by the Reds.
Twice with men on third base

hops and went by Art Wilson; allow

up the catcher there would have been
no scoring and the North Siders

SOLDIER FEARS.
Bayonet Fighting and Asphyxiation
Gases Are the Least of Them.

1t is extraordinary what curious fears
some soldiers have One fighter always
breads that his charcoal fire will be de-
stroyed by shell He always places the
burner IN the most protected part OF the
trench, but remains quite indifferent in re
gard to his own personal safety.
Another extraordinary fear of soldier
at the front is that of having his bootlaces
united Nothing else has terrors for him,
from bayonet fighting to asphyxiating
gases But he is quite certain that II his
bootaces are loose he will trip over them
and break his neck He always examines
his laces to see if they are properly sss-
tened Another soldier who has been
through the thick of the fighting is terri
| bly, frightened of going through a wood
and would rather walk miles round it than
half mile through it. He has the fear
| that some day a tree will suddenly fall ano
crush him.
| Many soldiers have horror of losinI
their identity discs, or of being unidentified
if they are killed, and buried in a nameles
grave One man is known to carry littl
scraps of paper in every pocket, givini
his name and regiment, 50 that his bod
