score So. 81. Opportunities for her
to do better were not set forth tempt
fngly by the Morse girl, who crashed
her way through the match with a
fire and dash that swept Miss Wander

resistance. The latter is perhaps not
a brilliant player. but she is one of
the steadiest of the court generals

court covering ability has always been
a difficulty that was almost impossible

"It has come to the notice of the ma
tional commission that certain pitchers
are being charged with using the bean
ball. which charges. IL true, would not
only be a great detriment to the game,
but would result in most severe tnjur-
les to players and would be unsports-
manlike in the highest degree.
THE commission, therefore. serves
notice that II a charge of this kind is
presented to 1t at any time against any
player, and after an examination there
for the same is proven. it will result in
the expulsion Of the player or players
SO charged from the game"
Chairman Hermann characterized
the bean ball" as brutal, and added
that he could not force himself to be-
lieye that a pitcher would deliberately
hurl a ball at batter's head with the
intention of injuring him. He declared
that such q practice might result IA
tally.

Workmen Should Avoid
Even Appearance of Evil
When Police Are About

About noon to-day Charles Fleck,
desk man at the police station, re-
ceived a call for an officer at Third
and Market streets. According to
the informant, a drunken man had
crawled beneath the porch of the
Lochiel Hotel. Nothing was visible
but the mans feet.
Officer Fleck Immediately dis
patched Officers Paul Schelhas and
Joe Demmo with the wagon to bring
the victim in to the station.
Quite a crowd had gathered at the
hotel steps, on the Third street side.
There, plain as life, were the soles
of two big shoes, but nothing else
was to be seen of the quarry.
Officer Schelhas decided mt would
be best to arouse his catch before re-
moving him, so he hit him a smart
rap on each foot with his club. The
officers each grabbed a shoe.
Following that there came muffied
sounds from beneath the porch. The
first words the crowd caught were
something like this: What d. you
mean, you blankety blank fools ?"
only he didn't say blankety blank.
what was really said would be bet
ter represented by dots and dashes.
The officers continued to haul
away, and a moment later there
emerged from the narrow hole a
workman, hatchet in hand. He had
been employed to make some repairs
beneath the porch and had dug nis
way beneath the steps as the only
possible method of getting there
without removing the porch,

and General Lokomsky, the COM

refused to take command of the Rus

Faces Death Penalty
The question of the probable fate
of General Korniloff is exciting pub
lie opinion. Indications are that lthe
government must face serious diff
culties over the matter.
A feature of the conflict is the
creditable absence of bitter feeling
and clamor of vengeance. Having
established capital punishment al
the front, however, the government
If it spares the rebel commander
must face the reproach that it exc
cuted common soldiers for less seri-
Gus offenses and it would virtually
be impossible to impose the deatf
penalty in the future. Against this
are the facts of General Korniloff'
brilliant services, his chivalrous and
personal character and the happy
circumstances thata there has beer
no bloodshed so far,
