According to the Master of Bal

1894 were killed and 100 missing.
More than 1000 won honors in the

NORTHWEST TEAMS
RAE COAST FANS
SEATTLE AND PORTLAND ARE
MAKING POOR SHOWING IN
COAST LEAGUE

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, June A.
The poor standing of the two north
western teams in the Pacific Coast
league has called forth considerable
criticism from both the public and
the sporting writer's. Seattle and
Portland, both of which were elected
into the league this season, are the
tailenders in the percentage column.
Also their percentages r exceed
ingly slim.
The Pacific coast league always
has enjoyed the reputation of having
a high average quality of clubs and
their players have been rated little
inferior to those of the major
leagues. In fact. for many years
both the National and American
leagues have drawn largely on the
coast for their stars many of whom
are playing on the various big city
teams.
Baseball enthusiasts are jealous
of the reputation and they are
clearly indicating that both Seattle
and Portland should bestir them
selves and strengthen their clubs
so as to maintain the interest of the
public whose attendance thus far
this season practically has been a
record for sustained numbers.

TEUTONS PUBLISHING
ODD TALES ABOUT
YANKEE RULE
PROPAGANDA Is BELIEVED RE-
SPONSIBLE FOR ARTICLE
IN NEWSPAPERS

COBLENZ, June 4.-Some fan
tastic fiction is published in Ger
man newspapers by writer's from
Frankfort and Leipsic who have Wis
tied Coblenz and returned home to
write whatever they may please
about the American army. Many of
the stories they tell are new to the
officers of the Third army who count
them as German propaganda.
One writer of a long article in
the Leipsic paper dealing with life
in Coblenz relates alleged instances
of ridiculous sentences imposed upon
Germans by the American army
courts. In one ease he says that the
wife of a government official. "an-
noyed on the street by a drunken
soldier exclaimed in her anger: If
only all the Americans would go to
the devil" The military court, he
punished her for this relig-
ious wish" by sentencing her to ap-
pear every morning for 80 days at
the headquarters of the command
ing officer and repeating to those
present the phrase: 81 am glad that
you are still here, gentlemen, and it
is my wish that you continue to stay
here for a long while"
This. is all news to the American
officers. If any woman appears at
headquarters every morning, the
sentries on duty there have failed to
it. 1t is part of their job to
prevent trespassing by Germans at
the main entrance of the Third army
headquarters.
Another fictitious tale narrated
by the Leipsic writer to arouse Ger
dislike for Americans, deals
with a case in which a woman,
splashed by mud from an automo-
bile calculated, chose dirty Ameri-
can automobiles" For this the
Leipsic Munchausen AYERS, a mill
tary court sentenced her to climb
the fortress Of Ehrenbrietstein daily
at 5 a.. m. for so days carrying a
pail, scrubing brush and securing
rag and to clean six American au-
tomobiles. Upon completion of this
task, he asserted, she was required
to walk back home similarly
equipped.
Another fantastic tale told by the
Leipsic journalist is of a sentence
which he declares was imposed upon
a hotel owner whose nerves could
no longer stand the wild music"
produced by the American bands
and who commented upon it IN
favorably. In punishment, the fic-
tion writer claimed. the hotel man
was sentenced to march daily for
80 days alongside the band and after
its parade to tell its leader: "Sir,
your MUSIC pleases me to perfec-
tion."
: American intelligence officers are
endeavoring to ascertain through
what channels the Leipsic CORE
spondent obtained the alleged Gin
formation" while in Coblenz, par
ticularly stories about the fines and
imposed upon women.
Court records do not reveal any
such asses.

eH0STLY FIGURE.
SAID TO Be that.
or NEGRO brown .
Spirit Said to Haunt Grim
Post at Seventeenth and
Harvey In the Late
Night.

Believe in ghosts? Then read on.
1t is whispered-very, very softly
that the ghost of William Brown,
negro, who was hanged Sunday
night, is haunting Seventeenth and
Harvey streets.
Few have seen the ghost and an
accurate description can not be Sc
cured, but uncanny things are oc-
3curring at wee hours of the night
II fumors can be believed.
'Tis said that the iron post where
Rrown was lynched sways to and
tro, emitting a mournful wall as it
moves. A pedestrian who passed
at the darkest hour last night in
sists that he saw rope hanging
from the pole.
The Ghost Speaks.
He would have clutched the rope,
he says, but suddenly figure, large
and threatening appeared and a hol-
low voice muttered, stand back"
The man fled in terror, but re-
turned at break of day and found
that no rope hung from the pole.
The iron pole could not be shaken,
and seemed to be solid in its founda-
ton.
The man then went to physician
who declared that he was perfectly
well, but bit nervous. The doctor
isasaid to have questioned the man
about his whereabouts Sunday night,
and whether he ever used alcohol.
The man replied that he was a
prohibitionist, but admitted that he
was in the vicinity of the Douglas
county court house Sunday night.
Moaning in Court House.
Another man is said to have heard
a moaning sound which seemed to
come from the top floor of the
court house. He was not sure wheth-
or it was the wind or something
else.
The theory advanced by some
who believe in spirits that Browns
ghost has really returned, and will
assist authorities in bringing mem
bers of the Sunday night mob to
Justice.
