FEDERAL LEAGUE is BLAMED
Many Of Players on Coast Did Not
Leave Bad Habits Behind, Says
Manager Howard.

Judging from some Of the tactics be-
Ing pulled by former Federal leaguers
recently, Del Howard, manager Of the
Oakland club in the Coast league, says
many of the players evidently did not
leave their bad habits behind. Del
says:
"I understand that some Of the Fed
eral league players did many queer
things. Some of them didn't leave
their bad habits behind them when the
outlaw circuit disbanded. Look over
the list of players involved in scandals
In baseball in recent months and you
will find that the majority of them are
former Federal leaguers- That should
be sufficient proof that everything was
not on the up-an'-up in the outlaw or
ganization."

Police Solve the Great Kimono Mystery

HICAGO.-The police have solved
~ the great Hyde Park kimono
mystery-but there's only one way to
tell it-chronOlogically.
Some time between six o'clock and
midnight last Tuesday evening some
one entered room 4O1 in the Shirley
apartment hotel at AGA Drexel boule-
ward and vanished with $1,000 worth
of woman's apparel, the property Of
Mrs. W. c. Gabriel, wife of Lieuten-
ant Gabriel, the aviator. The only
clue to the marauder was cheap cot
ton kimono and pair of mems bed
room slippers.
The police were bafiied. The apart
ment was four stories above the
ground. An intricate lock and bolt
barred the only door in the one-room
apartment. There were no fire es-
capes.
A housemaid, however, had seen
Robert Black, who, with his wife. Mrs.
Rose Black, occupied the apartment
below the pilfered Gabriel apartment,
wearing the kimono. The police en-
tered the Black apartment to find Mrs.
Black and William Davis, but no Mr..
Black and no Gabriel clothing.
The police learned further that
Black and his wife had gone to the
