GREAT FIRST INNING

T NEVER shall forget the first
inning Of that second game. I
was the umpire-in-c chief, calling
balls and strikes. Bill Donovan, ace
of the Detroit staff, was doing the
pitching. The Tigers confidently ex-
pected to even up the series with
wild Bill' pitching.
Bobby Byrne, the first man to
face Donovan, walked on four
straight balls. Tommy Leach
doubled to right on the hit and run,
scoring Byrne. 1t looks like rout
for wild Bill" and the Tigers.
Fred Clarke moved Leach to third
on a sacrifice, bunting to Donovan.
This brought the great HonuS
Wagner, batting hero of the Pirates,
to the plate. He disappointed by
striking out.
The next batter was "Dot" Miller.
He hit long drive down the right
field foul line that looked for a time
as if it might clear the fence. The
ball struck just inside the foul line
in deep right, then bounded from
view. Leach scored on the hit and
Miller also made the circuit. The
fans went wild, believing it was a
home run.
I was in doubt as to what de-
ciSiOn to make. / knew the ball
had struck fair just before it dis
appeared from view, tut had no
definite idea as to whether it went
into twO-base territory or was a
sure enough home run.
HAD FOOL INSPIRATION
T CONFERRED with Bill Klem
Il who was working the bases, but
the ball had disappeared so quickly
he was much in doubt as I was as to
the correct ruling.
Fred Clarke, then manager of
Pittsburgh, insisted it was home
run, while Hughey Jennings, pilot
of the Tigers, argued long and loud
for two-base hit. I wanted to do
justice to both clubs, but was up
in the air for a ruling, when I was
seized with what at the time seemed
a fool inspiration.
I rushed into deep right field to
where the ball had struck fair and
to open tn eargument said to the
fans seated in that sector:
Was the ball fair or foulP"
There was none but Pittsburgh
rooters in that section, it having
been reserved for the Rooters' Club
of the Pirates. In an instant hun
dredS of voices were shouting:
Fair ball by at least a foot"
= Il
T. vas then up to me to learn
where the ball landed. None OF
The rams knew that ground rule
had been agreed upon.

NEW YORK, Jan. P. (P)-Repre- sentative Ogden Mills of New York selected by the Treasury Department as the next under-secretary, said: While the policy of economy has re- suited in gratifying decreases in the cost of government, my observation leads me to believe that the admin istrative cost of government has prob ably reached bedrock. The policy has been popular, but how long it will re- main so is a question. There is req son to anticipate the application of $2OO 100000 surplus estimated for the next fiscal year to reduction of the public debt" This means a benefit of all taxpayers and enormous saving in interest"

NEW YORK, Jan. p.

The American outclassed his rival from start to finish, scoring five knockdowns. The Scotchman constantly saved himself when on the verge of a sudden finish by his gameness and defensive in- stinct, which saved the stoop-should- cred invader from a knockout. He faced steady hail of hooks, jabs and uppercuts from all directions turnout 12 rounds. The bell apparently saved Clark from a knockout in the third round.

 IF POISON DEATH
 OF YOUNG W|DOWER
ON WEDDING DAY C. L. ELROD FOUND DEAD IN BED-WROTE
 GIRL POISONED HIM

MARSHALLTOWN, Ia., Jan. P. (P) -Baffling circumstances of the death by poisoning of Charles l.. Elrod, aged 2S, a widower, held the attention of State investigators today. Elrod was found dead in his bed the day he was to receive permission to marry Veda Bellefeuille, aged 19, who incorporated love passages from novels in her let ters to test his love.
 Physicians say Elrod was poisoned, but are unable to discover what kind of poison was used. The examiners reported that there was no trace of poison.
 As he was dying, Elrod wrote that the girl thought he had been poisoned and dreamed that she had poisoned him, but he forgave her. The girl said she created fictitious rivals and once Elrod forced a man believed to be his rival to take note accepting a challenge for a duel for the girls hand She confessed to the fictitious ness when Elrod awaited his adver- sary's arrival.

COOLIDGE REFUSES
 CONSIDER FARLEY
NO REASON FOR ARBITRATION; DIRECT REPUTATION OF
 KELLOGG AGREEMENT

WASHINGTON, Jan. P. (P)-Pres- ident Coolidge, in a White House statement, refused to consider an ar bitration barley with Mexico over the anti-alien oil and land law dispute. He declared that if the American people understood the government is contending for United States property rights, and Mexico for taking them away, there wouldn't be any demand for arbitration. The statement, strong in tone, was a direct repudiation of the agreement of Secretary Kellogg few days ago, and of the resolution calling for arbitration just adopted by the Senate foreign relations com mittee. <

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22. P)-The increasing gravity of the spreading anti-foreign movement in China was reflected in the disclosure by Ameri- can Minister MacMurray who has been stopped by a cablegram while en route to Washington and ordered back to Picking and by hte announcement that United States marines at Guam have been ordered to the Philippines to be nearer the zone or disorder.
 President Coolidge feels that the de- velopments of the last few weeks make doubtful that the central govern ment at Picking will be able to exer- else any authority whatever toward the protection of foreigners. With so many Chinese political factions con- contending for individual power, the Washington government has difficulty in discerning where to place the cen tral government in the present con- fused situation.
