TRYING TO POISON OUR
WATER SUPPLY (?)

UnKn0Wn Man Discovered PrOWling
Around the City ReserVOir---Mau In
Charge Shot Three Times at Stranger
Was some devil incarnate trying
J to poison the city's drinking water
one night recently? No we we have
not said it was a German spy-you
can think as you will about this, but
the fac: remains that it would be
very easy to poison hundreds, pos
sible thousands of the citizens of
sthis city with very little effort, if
the proper guard is not thrown
around the city reservoir. Oh yes,
there are some people who will laugh.
at threatened destruction and would
realize their sad predicament too
late. There are JUST such people in
this country, sorry to relate, who
don't believe anything and don't
want to believe anything about our
foe. They arc not classed as true,
red bloOded Americans and the peO-
pie don't look upon them as loyal
citizens. They are spotted and don't
nave the respect that should be due
them otherwise.
But to return to our story: The
Reviews special detective reports
that one night recently a stranger
was seen fooling around the city res
ervOir and attempting to get over
the wire enclosure. He had bun
die in his hands and was otherwise
acting -suspiciously.
Several shots were fired at the flee
ing man and the matter kept quiet.
hoping that the man would again
return. Ever since extra watch has
been placed in close proximity and
our special man reports that moth
ing further has been doing.
The story was not given us by
any city official but as stated above
came through The Review special
detective. The affair is given just
as it happened and the public is at
liberty to draw its own conclusions.
However we are strongly cOnvinc-
ed that better protection. should be
afforded cur city reservoir.

RUSS HALL LOSES In
FIGHT TO SAVE NV.
LEAGUE FROM DEATH
Tacoma baseball fans will have

Tacoma baseball fans will have
to satisfy themselves with anna
teur ball during the remainder of
the season.
Despite the valiant efforts of
Russ Hall, manager of the Tigers,
j. l.. Davies, Butte director, and
Pete Jensen, Great Falls director,
to keep the Northwestern league
afloat, the old circuit last evening
gave a final gasp. and sank sput-
tering beneath the waves of de-
feat.
The league has "flivvered.
Not because the directors all
wanted to. But because ID. r.
Dugdale, Seattle magnate, was
losing money thru his personal I'M
popularity with Seattle fans, and
decided to use his influence to
kill off the league.
1t was fairly easy for Dugdale
to swing Bob Brown of Vancou-
yer and President Farr of Spokane
with him. Vancouver has been
showing little baseball interest
during the last two years of the
war Spokane got away to such
poor start this year that the
fans there lost interest in the club.
Tacoma, Butte and Great Falls
were making little money. But
they were all swept aside by the
autocratic will of the Seattle boss.
O o o
The Montana magnates planned
deal whereby Russ Hall would
take his club to Billings the rest
Of the season, and finish with a
four-club league, Spokane form
ing the fourth team. They Of
fored Russ a $4,000 bonus and a
$4,000 guarantee for three Sun
days. But the Spokane manage
ment got peeved because it was
not also offered a bonus, and this
deal fell thru.
The league decided last night,
after arguing from 10 a. m. until
Z p. M, to discontinue baseball
next Sunday afternoon. A formal
excuse was prepared by President
Blewett, maintaining that the war
was centering the interest of all
Americans. and that the selective
draft would shortly take away
many of the leagues players.

Attack Made On
Birth Control
In Tacoma PLAY

Good old melOdrama with large
helpings of comedy, serve as a
means of forceful attack upon the
modern tendency toward birth
control in Her Unborn Child"
which opened for a weeks engage
ment at the Tacoma theater Sum
day.
Somewhat daring at times. the
play approaches a delicate subject
fearlessly, but in way not in the
least offensive. A general inn
preston is that it supports birth
control. 1t does not. It attacks
birth control, and effectively.
Thru some prevalent misunder-
standing, 1t has been supposed
that Her Unborn Child" is a mo-
tion picture. 1t is play. There
will be matinees and evening per
formances the remainder of the
week.

HALO FOR HEINE?
YES, HE EARNED 1T

John McGraw might make
good use of the halo left in
New York by Matty by ham
mering 1t down so It would
fit the lordly brow of Heine
the Zim.
Zim is entitled to q halo
this year.
Playing with the worst
rowdies in the league, Heine,
with all his reputation for
batting umpires, fighting
and generally making him
self "a hard guy" has not
had a fight this year, and
has not had a run-in with an
umpire.
He almost dented this
record the other day when
he turned holly on Umpire
Bill Klein, but Fletcher got
between them and restored
peace.

Film Opposes
Birth Control

"The Unborn" the powerful
film argument against birth con-
troll which has made such sue
cess at the Melbourne, will have
its final showing there today. The
picture tells of an intensely human
story and proves its point by max
ing circumstances surrounding the
lives of its characters real and
vivid.
A Happy Hulligan cartoon conf
edy and an American fashion
show picture complete the pro-
gram. One of the features of to-
morrow's show will be picture
taken in the Ford Motor COM
pany's plant showing how Fords
are made.

BILL LEARD
STARTS FOR
BIC TIM Err

Seattle has seen the last Of
"Scrappy Bill" Leard-for the
1917 season, at least. The pep
perry Seattle leader packed his bats
and grip and left for the big
show" last night, where he will
attempt to show the Eastern
critics that the old boy has enough
baseball in him to land a job with
the Brooklyn Dodgers.
While Owner Dugdale had re-
fused to allow Leard to report to
the Brooklyn club as long as Sc
attic was in the race for the pen-
nant, recent developments have
changed the situation. With pros
poets of the league not lasting very
much longer, Leard was allowed
to leave for the East. He will
arrive in Brooklyn in a few days
and will be started at short for the
major league club.

Oregon Farmer Boy
Going Into Majors
Very First Season

Herman Pillett, a country boy
from Oregon, who has proven one
OF the sensations Of the North
western league this year, is going
up to the majors at the end of his
first season In professional ball.
IL isn't usually done. The NIT
jOrs generally want "a ball player
well seasoned before he hits the
big brush. But Herman, star of
the Tiger pitching staff, and Russ
Halls "find" of the 1917 season,
will be pitching in the National
league within very few weeks.
Pillett was sold to the Cincin-
natl club of the National league
recently, announcement being
made last night. j. Newton Cob
YER, Spokane sporting writer,
who acts as scout in the North
west for the Reds, effected the
deal. Although the consideration
is not announced, IL is reported
to be about $4,000.
The deal for Pillett has been
pending three weeks. Russ Hall
told few friends of it cOnfiden-
italy when he was last in Tacoma.

Preaching on Sunday, attend
ing college during the week and
pitching invincible baseball for his
college team is the program fol-
lowed by A. G. Mckinney, star
pitcher of william Jewell college
at Liberty, Mo.
Whether or not Mckinney ever
breaks into the big leagues, and
this now seems to be a question
of his own desires, the young star
has carved himself a niche in base
balls hall of fame which any vet
eran might be proud to occupy.
Pitching for his college team In
four games he struck out II men
in "a innings, pitched two no-hit
games and allowed but three hits
in the quartet of games.
He set new world record
in one of the games by fam
ming 25 men in nine innings
against TarkiO college and
the following week caused 23
hitters of the Maryville State
Normal team to breeze. In
both games he held his Oppo-
nents hitless.
On Sundays Mckinney adds
Rev. to his name, dons frock
coat and occupies the pulpit in the
Christian church at Bosworth, Mo.
McKinney's home is in Cincin-
natl and he is a sophomore in col
lege.
In the box his work is marked
by his brainy pitching and his
ability to outguess the opposing
batter. He has everything good
pitcher should have, speed, curves,
remarkable control, an elusive
splitter and a good change of pace.
