EAGLES COP VICTORY
IN SNAPPIEST GAME
OF SEASON, 3 TO 0

In the snappiest and best played
ball game at Exhibition park this year,
the Richmond Eagles defeated the In
dianapolis Merits, 8 to 0, Sunday after
noon.
Minner hurled a masterful game for
the Eagles, whiting nine men, and
giving but one a free ticket to first
base. He was backed in sensational
style by the rest Of the team, as not
an error was charged against them
Everette Haas performed unusually
we'll behind the bat, getting his man
at first on a sacrifice hit and extin-
gushing two would-be stealers.
The performance of the Merits left
no doubt In the minds Of the 500 fans
that witnessed the game, that the
Eagles were pitted against strong
team. Adams, hurler, had worlds Of
stuff on the ball and faultless control.
Inopportune boobies by his teammates
prevented a closer score.
The game was the shortest played
this year Play was called at 2:45 p.
m, and the last out was made at 80
D. IN. The game had to be snappg.
however, as 1t rained in the last in
ming.
1t could be safely said that Minner,
Hass and Logan won the game for
The ITarias. The trio cot five out Of
the teams nine hits, and handled
10 out of sc chances.
A fast and accurate throw by Schep-
man in the first inning prevented the
Merits from scoring. Bishop, first up,
got in the way Of one of MINERS
slants. The next two men were easy
outs. HUM slammed a hit to deep
center and Bishop tried to score from
second. Schspman's throw made one
bounce and plunked into Haas glove

GIRL motive DENIED
BY WANDERER, AS HE'S
FACED BY A MAIDEN
(Ry Associated Press)

CHICAGO, July PA theory that
Carl Wanderer shot and killed his
wife and hired "robber" because of
his interest in a 16-year-old girl, was
being Investigated today by the po-
lice.
Confronted with the girl in his cell,
Wanderer, for the first time since his
arrest. lost his composure momentar-
lily, but firmly denied the girl had had
any influence on his desire to be free.
In one Of his statements to the po-
lice. Wanderer had said he shot his
wife so he could return to the army
and be free from the care of his wife
and the baby they expected next
month.
The girl. Julia Schmitt. told the po-
lice she had known Wanderer some
time and had gone to an amusement
park with him several times, but did
not know he was married. .
She was not held, as police an
nounced after questioning that they
were convinced she had no knowledge

Says $500 Was Own Money.
According to one of the latest of
Wanderers statements to the police,
the $1,000 which his wife drew from
the bank two days before she was
shot, was his own money.
He had stated once before that he
intended to steal the money and re-
turn to the army, but in the excite
nent following the shooting forgot
about It. -.
Wanderer today maintained his
calm attitude in regard to the murders
and talked Of his dead wife without
emotion. The identification of the
hired "robber" as John J. Maloney, of
River Point R. l., was further sup
ported today by John Welland, clerk at
a hotel where Maloney had stayed
three days just before he was slain
and had registered under that name

"T0NIC" MAN ASKS
FARMERS TO FEED IT

It is understood that the represent
ative of the Kansas City, Mo-, hog and
cattle powder concern is in Wayne
county, or was reported here several
days last week. County Agent Murphy
said Monday that he understood that
this agent was trying to induce men
who have tonic" supplies again to
try feeding it, but with what success
was not known.
Porter Pike, of Centerville, reports
that the agent endeavored to induce
him to give it another trial some time
ago, and said that he would be back
and talk it over with him. So far
the salesman has not returned and Mr..
Pike is inclined to stand pat, unless
there is some satisfactory guarantee
from the firm that he will be insured.

A letter from the county agent OF
Washington county has been received
by Mr.. Murphy, which states that the
same identical hog tonic played hob

Wayne county hogs were the very
first to be sickened by this tonic, some
body has been mistaken.

Thus far we have been unable to

the Kansas City representative lately.

been taken up have expressed some
anxiety as to what will be the out

athletic instructors in America.
Jourdct led Penn basketball teams
to four successive Intercollegiate League
championships, winning permanent pos

Jourdets regime in Penn basketball
is unique. Penn won the Hoppe trophy
completely during his term, victories
in 101G-17. 1917-lS and 1919 20

Penn also finished first in the l0lS. 10
