MONTREAL BEATS
NEWPORT BY
7TOeSCORE
Costly Errors in Opening
Frame Win for
Visitors

A succession of four costly
boobies, with later one thrown IN
for good measure, all in the open
ing stanza of the baseball game at
Montreal on Tuesday, enabled the
Montreal Athletics to take the lead
away from the Newport nine. After
the initial inning, the Athletics
were never headed and although
big Paddy Grenier was hit hard,
they emerged from the struggle a
winner by a scant margin, 7 to 6.
In spite of the fact that Shelton
twirled a contest, reminiscent Of
better days, he helped to toss his
own game away by two grave mis-
cues in the first stanza. He al
lowed but five safe oingles, while
Newport hammered Paddy Grenier
for ten clouts, four of which were
hard hit doubles. But two of the
Athletics tc,lies were earned--this
pair coming in the second, when
hits by Farrand, Carmel and Gre

The deciding marker was credit
ed to Montreal in the seventh, on
a base on balls, sacrifice by Far
rand, and an error BIZ Benny Try
on, who has been thrown into the
gap at third, caused by the dismis
sal of Ginger Bruce.
Free tickets to the initial cushion
by Paddy Green were largely in
strumental in the securing OF three
of Newport's tallies. However, in
the first frame, aided by pair of
doubles. slammed out by St. Angc-
10 and Benny Tryon two scores
crossed the rubber and the contest
began to assume the ear-marks of
a bona-fide scrap. Three of the
Border city tallies were earned, and

playing in the first frame the

Detectives Try to Trace
Thieves Who Got Mrs. j. L.
Seligman's Jewels.

Detectives from insurance companies
and private agencies. it was learned
yesterday, are travelling on transat-
lantic steamships in an attempt to
trace the thieves who robbed Mrs. Jo-
ssph L. Seligman of 525 Park avenue
of between $4,000 and $4,000 worth
of jewelry on the latest trip which the
Olympic of the White Star Line made 10
this port.
Some of the detectives working on the
case hold the theory that the men who
stole Mrs. Seligman's jcwelry belong to
an organized band of international
thieves. who go back and forth across
the Atlantic watching for open state
rooms and chances to obtain valuables.
Mrs. Seligman, whose husband is
banker with offices at 65 Broadway,
reported her loss to the Federal Insur-
ance Company. Officials of the COM
pany said last night that detectives were
working on the case, but they took little
stock in the theory that an international
band Of crooks is at work.
On the same trip of the Olympic Mrs.
John Trumbell of this city was robbed
Of about $4,000 in jewelry. She said
she inadvertently left the door of her
stateroom open for short time and
that when she returned the robbery had
been committed. A short time ago
thieves robbed Isaac Mann. jeweler. of
SAL, 900 worth of jewelry and other valu-
ables on the Aquitania.

by another crowd, which tried to rescue
his prisoner and to kick and beat him.
A telephone message reached the sta

After a great deal of difficulty he sue

Hotel st. Francis to permit him to keep
the baby orang III his room.
At first the manager was obdurate.
Its impossible, Mr.. Ditmars." he said.
According to our rule no animal can
be kept in the rooms" For an hour
Mr.. Ditmars talked, to no use. The baby
orang was then struggled up to his room
In brown paper package and kept there
for four days, when the management
became aware of It. Came another ar
gument. which Mr.. Ditmars succeeded
in clinching by asserting his orang was
not an animal, but half human, accord
ing to the Darwinian theory.
The baby orang stayed on. 1T had to
be cared for just as tenderly as a baby"
said Mr.. Ditmars last night. MY wife
held IL In her arms and fed 1t milk and
rice and gave It medicine. She sat up
night after night until it was able to
hold its head up again.
Along with the two orangs Mr.. Dit
mars brought two OF the largest pythons
ever carried into the United States. One
measures twenty-five feet and the other
Is seventeen. They were caught on a
tiger hunt In the Malay Peninsula.
When the boxes were opened in the
reptile house last night Head Keeper
Toomey said they were the finest snakes
he had ever seen. The pythons will
move into the cage now occupied by
the boa constructors.
Just before Mr.. Ditmars arrived Head
Keeper Toomey received telephone
message from two men who locked on
the steamship Satsuma, from Ceylon,
with a young leopard aboard. They
bought II as cub In Ceylon, and not
knowing that II would grow very much
larger brought IL home as a pet. When
the voyage was over the leopard had
grown to such size that they were
looking for a way to rid themselves of
the beast.
The leopard was brought to the Zoo.
This morning Maud will start her first
day in New York with an orange for
breakfast. She will be fed lightly until
she becomes somewhat accustomed to
her new surroundings Before he left
the Zoo last night Mr.. Ditmars fed her
few spoonfuls OF rice. and showed an
old army blanket into the cage, just to
make her understand she was being
looked after.
THE orang In captivity cannot stand
neglect" he said. "They are extremely
sensitive animals. and IL were to go
away to night without paying any at
tention to this old girl I'd probably find
her sick In the morning."
The baby orang stood the train trip
we'll When the keeper brought IL a cup
of water last night II dropped quickly
down the bars OF the big cage II was
placed in and. holding the cup with
both hands, sucked up the water like
child. This morning It will be fed

The buster you are
the less you know
about Furniture
The only satisfactory
way to buy furniture is
to 60 to a furniture
house with a long rec
ord for good judgment
and an irreproachable /
reputation for selling
only GOOD furniture.
The Furniture Salons of the
John Wanamaker Store are
manned by expert judges of
furniture who, for thirty years,
have been judging, selecting,
rejecting, seeking to secure
only the best furniture that is
made anywhere in the United
States.
Wanamaker furniture is
good example of the survival of
the fittest. Furniture makers
the country over have for
thirty years been tried out, one
after the other. Those who
have been found wanting have
been tried but once. Those
who have been found to be
more interested in building
solid, substantial business, in
trying to make goods that will
bring customers back again and
again, than in getting "big
money" for a shoddy product,
we have continued to do bust
ness with.
Our oak bedroom furniture
is good example of the work
ing of this principle. 1t is made
for us by a very-out-of-the-way
manufacturer in the far South.
1t would be easier and cheaper
for us to purchase from near
by maker. But this man has
been found, through our long
years of experience, to be the
most conscientious maker of
oak bedroom furniture we have
ever tried. So we continue to
buy of him.
Result, no purchaser of our
golden oak furniture has ever,
to our knowledge, come back to
complain about it. And we sell
thousands of suites of it every
year!
No more money is paid by
our patrons for this well-made,
soundly built furniture than is
often paid in other stores for
furniture of a very inferior
grade.
Neither line, finish nor the
kind of wood used, nor the
price of furniture can be
taken as guide to its real
worth, it's wearing, lasting
value.
Let expert judges help you
select the sort of furniture for
your home, so that, because of
the way the furniture is put to-
gether, the intrinsic excellence
of the workmanship, you will
never regret having purchased
it.
