Harry Webb and his wife were on

Mrs. Webb screamed and ran UP

She found Policemen Wilson and
Carrico and they arrested Baxton.

These three soldiers were Just sober
enough to know that there existed a

easy matter for them to excuse their
actions by saying they had been in

.As the Tree Is Bent"
Once Mamie williams was such a
bad girl that her mother had to put
her away.
That was quite a while ago, and
Mamie hasn't reformed yet.
She and Maude Mitchell work in
Chinese laundry.
The other day Maude left her
watch on shelf, thinking it would
be safe.
Mamie pinched it. wore it to a
party, and then hooked it for two
dollars.
Maude never did know how her
watch came to be missing until
Policeman Beckley got out his
bloodhounds, and put them on the
trail.
After four hours hard work,
Beckley recovered the watch and
secured evidence that Mamie was
the guilty person.
He questioned her. She denied
it. Then he showed her the evil

He swiped the bread. But hard

morning for Pat Hawkins.
The little birds singing in the
trees, the hush that seemed to fall
over the neighborhood where he
lived nauseated him.
Why should the Sabbath morn be

ran upstairs and got out his gun.

The way that frightened men

However. his joy didn't last long.
Policeman Nalley heard about this

Nalley found Pat in a near-beer

When he approached Pat. the

Among fhe BLeacherites Fair Hits and Foul Chatter Garnered From the National
 Past;me

Nearly all the big dogs in baseball will be on hand Saturday when Ban Johnson calls that meeting in Cleveland to decide upon the worlds series John K. Tener alone will be missing. John notified the others that he still meant what he said about not having anything more to do with Johnson or the national commission. His attitude brought about by the Perry case, is childish, to say the least, re- gardless of the merits of his contention.
 In the American league race the h. dians are hanging on behind Boston with only a couple of contests between them. Lee Fohl stands great chance to lana his bunch at the top and at the rate he is driving them now it won't be long before they overtake Ed Barrows team, that is, if the latter tops to sneeze" :" Yesterday each of these pennant con- tenders had an easy time disposing Of their opponets.
 Boston is touted by experts as the bet ter of the two, but there are many fans who believe that Iris Speaker, ct al, will be able to knock them off the top rung.
 The Cubs gained slightly on their rivals yesterday by defeating Boston, While the best New York could do was an even break with Pittsburg. By the way our old friend, Ralph Comstock, hurled that first game against McGraws gang and deally deserved win, as he let the hard hitting Gothamites down with a lone tally.
 Chicago looks to be to bet in the National league gonfalon hunt.

 Major Percy Haughton, former liar ward football coach, has resigned as president of the Boston Braves and will report at once for oversea duty with the national army chemical warfare service. Sam Crane has spurned an offer to cavort in the Cardinal lineup and in- stead will report to Baltimore in the h. ternat1OnaI league. crane said he could get more coin out of the International league club.

The match went the full three sets before a winner was declared. The first set was won by Mccoy and Davis. 6-S, and the second set was won by Jackson and Kitchen, 4-6. 1t was at the beginning of the third set that the titanic struggle took place.

 A tone time they held the advantage by the count of 5-4, but were unable to put across the deciding game. At this sta ss of the game Mccoy and Davis, by some clever smashing and lobbing, finally won the set and the match by the score of ! b.

FULTON HAS ALIBI
 FOR SUDDEN DEFEAT

Minneapolis, July S1.-Fred Full ton, the Rochester. Minn., heavy reight knocked out in one round by Jack Dempsey Saturday, intimated today he would not fight again until after the war. He is planning to engage in war work.
 Fulton offered a new explanation for his defeat. He said he and Demp- sey had been ordered to break clean but that the latter "fattened him" when they were coming out of clinch.
