Louis officials are beginning to
worry now that the National League
race has frightened. They say it
may be necessary to recall Orsatti
Orsatti can be taken from the
Millers at any time, because the
Cards some time ago sent notice
of their intentions. He was sent to
Minneapolis last spring under a re-
call agreement of fifteen days.
For the battle down the American
Association stretch it is said Owner
Perry of the Indians is angling for
another pitcher to assist the pres
ent staff of seven.
If new twirler is obtained. and
no Tribe player used in the deal,
Manager Bethel will drop off the
player list and work wholly as a

lineup, using Miller instead

Cling with the powerful western
clubs, Owner Perry employed john
ny Schmutte, local independent
pitcher, and sent him along on the
road trip to pitch in batting prac-
tice. Schmutte is not on the Tribe
roster officially and can not be used
in games.
Minneapolis is the only club hold
ing an edge on the Indians in club
and-club battles, and the Indians are
even with st. Paul at ten and ten.
The Tribe record with enemy clubs
follows:
With Minneapolis-won nine and
lost ten.
With st. Paul-won ten and lost
ten.
With Milwaukee-won eleven and
lost eight.
With Kansas City-won ten and
lost nine.
With Louisville-won twelve and
lost six.
With Columbus-won nine and
lost five.
With Toledo-won ten and lost
four.
Games won, II; games lost, So.
The Indians have played 1913
games of the 166 called for in the
schedule and they will play nine
teen contests on this last western
journey. When the Betzelites re-
turn home Sept. 1 they will have
twenty-six games to go before the
campaign closes. all with eastern
A. A. opponents. In other words
the Tribe has forty-f1ve more battles
left.

PITCHERS LOOK GOOD
New Workers Confident of
National Victory.
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY
United Press staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Aug. lathe pen
nant chances of the New York
Giants hinge on their final western
invasion which opened today at
Chicago. Trailing the league-lead-
ing st. Louis Cardinals by two and
one-half games, the Giants will try
to overtake the slumping Cards.
The Giants have thirteen games
scheduled in the West during the
next twelve days. They play three
games at Chicago, three at St.
Louis, three at Cincinnati and four,
including one double header, at
Pittsburgh.
During their last home stand
against the four western clubs and
the Philadelphia Phillies, the Giants
won fifteen games and lost only
four. The Giants head West better
fortified than any club in the
league.
Twirling Is Strong
The spirit of the club is good, the
pitching is stronger than at any
other time this season and the hit
ting is sharp and timely. The
Giants themselves are highly con-
fident Of catching the Cards before
they return home for their long
home stay.
We'll be on top or near the top
when we get back home" Travis
Jackson, captain of the Giants, said
before the team departed. 1.-THE
Cardinals are through. They looked
tired and worn when they were at
the Polo Grounds"
John j. McGraw has seven
pitchers upon whom to depend in
the West. They are Benton, Fitz-
simmons Aldridge, Genewich,
Walker, Faulkner and Hubbell. the
recent $4,000 importation from
Beaumont (Tex).
The play of Frank Hogan, Freddy
Lindstrom and Andy Reese has
played a prominent part in the
drive of the Giants for the top.
Hogan has developed into one of
the hardest hitting catchers in the
majors, and Lindstrom is probably
playing the best game at third base
in either league. Alternating with
Lefty ODoul in left field, young
Andy Reese has contributed a lot
of sensational hitting and fielding to
the Giants cause
Cards staff Slipping
Whereas, the Cardinal pitchers
appear to be cracking under the
strain. the Giant pitchers are set
for a hard campaign during the
remaining days. Alexander hasn't
pitched game since the Cards left
the Polo Grounds. Haines lost his
last start.
Aldridge has found himself and
the addition of Hubbell has given
the Giants an unexpected star. Hub
bell shut out the Phillies III his
last start, allowing but six hits.
Genewich lost seven out of nine
games with the Braves. but has
won seven out of nine since join
ing the Giants.

wednesday night Mr.. John RiSkO,
the blubbery man from Cleveland,
meets Mr.. Roberto Roberti of the

of Signor Fugazy at Ebbets Field,
at popular prices"
Whether this means the GUS
toners will receive cash premiums
for attending IS NOT known, and
your cagey correspondent suspects
there is catch somewhere in that
popular prices" gag.
t.
WOU learn from the advance lit
4 erature that the winner of this
fight will be seriously considered
as the legitimate successor to the
championship recently vacated by
Gene Tunney." Obviously this rep
resents a typographical error. lille
Ultimate is probably the word that
was meant to be used.
AS a matter of truth the fight
between Risko and Roberti is Just
another fight, and it won't mean
anything unless the inexperienced
Italian happens to get lucky and
bounce the Cleveland bowlder
around on his galvanized shoulder
blades, an eventuality that is about
as likely as a Boston world series.
It's going to take a fine victory
by a comparative unknown to re-
viye widespread public interest
in the big fellows. I don't think
anything the Riskos, Sharkeys,
SCOTS, Paulinos and Heeneys can do
is going to make any great differ
ence this year or the next.
Mr.. Tunney's retiring gesture
was crushing one for the rest
Of the field. BY his ridicuIously
easy defeat over the man who was
cOncededly the best of the lot he
made all the others look like a
bunch of widowed potatoes ir

Il timists left in world largely

ney's wide superiority exists. No
matter what happens within the
next year or so there is always 60
ing to be some one to say: well,
what if he did win? Tunney would
have murdered him."
1t has been customary for the
promoters to charge ornate prices
for these heavyweight elimination
, bouts, especially when series
reached what was advertised to be
Crucial spot. These prices have
ranged from $3.50 to $50.
Mr.. Richard has been the chief
offender in this respect. Signor Flu
gazy has been a trif1e more merci-
full on the bank rolls. although I
imagine he would be right in there
with the heavy tariffs if he had the
place and the cards.
If Mr.. Rickard attempts to plaster
extravagant admissions on the boys
for his heavyweight fights at the
Garden this season I venture the
prediction he is going to trip over
his boots and spread his sun-burned
beak on the marble floors of the
cathedral of clout.
Another thing, Mr.. Richard
hasn't any fighter in hand who
is worth paying big money to see.
The best possible card at the mo-
ment seems to be Risko and,
Sharkey. A fair price for this
would be SIS. Most of his other
heavyweight eliminations shouldn't
scale above $3.50, and even then
there would be no assurance that

REVIEW
DRAWS CROWDS
TO P. D. STORE

w. T.. Austin, manager OF the dry
goods department of the Phelps Dodge
Mercantile company, introduced de-
cided innovation in style show re-
views when he arranged for the ap-
pearance of Miss Kathryn r. Wilcox,
fabric fashion advisor from Marshall
Field and company, wholesale, OF Chi
cago.
All of the dresses worn by the
models were made from Butter:ck
Patterns by dreSsmakerS.
During the style review Miss Wilcox
gave interesting talks on the ad"
vance styles in new spring materials
and laid special emphasis on the fact
that voiles, organdies and printed cot
tons will be worn. One of the in
teresting new materials is called silk
Beau Monde" and is manufactured
by Marshall Field and company,
wholesale. In addition to conducting
the shows each afternoon at 2, Miss
Wilcox will be in the store all day
today and tomorrow to give general
advice on fabrics, patterns and ac-
ceSSorieS. i3a
According to Miss Wilcox very care
full selection OF patterns has been
made, in order to make not Only
smart frocks but frocks that are easily
made While the models shown were
mostly in from 16 to 18 sizes they
were all selected with the idea thai
the lines are just as good for larger
sizes and not Tor misses only,
One of the new types of sports
materials shown isf called ANTELOPE
Silk a fabric mostly silk with some
wool and mohair in, the mixture. This
is an entirely new material and has
never been shown in this part OF the
country before.
Among the young ladies who mod
eled yesterday afternoon during rhe
show were: Miss Kathrine Cansler,
Miss Helen Sperry, Miss Mary Vir-
ginis, Austin, Mrs Florence Haas and
the little Misses Ruth Mcbride and
Gladys Hoover, who modelled children'S
frocks.
One of the features of the cnildrens
frocks was a Mother Goose creation,
on which the story of Mother Goose
was printed on the fabric.
There will be an extra show FRI
day starting at 1880 p. m. for the
Douglas daily dispatch., 1928-03-02
MAN ARRESTED
MAY BE WANTED
in San DIEGO


Weary and worn and covered with
dust a man staggered into Aqua
Prieta yesterday afternoon and told
story OF having been forced down
in an aeroplane 30 miles south CT
the border and being without food
or water for five days. The man is
held in the Douglas city jail now
pending message from the San Diego
sherift's office. He is believed to be
the man wanted there for an alleged
feloniouS assault.
The man came across tho border
to Douglas and was Immediately
arrested by deputy sheriffs and police
officers. He changed his story some
what then saying that he was from
Tucson but still carried the aviator
part. He gave the name CT Cole
Hubert and mentioned a Tucson phy-
Sician who he said had been treating
him. The physician was called by
the deputies here and said that he
had treated Hubert for the marks
on his face but did not know what
the marks were and had been asked
by Tucson police to notify them when
Hubert came back for another treat
ment.
Hubert displayed kilograms to Off
GERS here indicating that he had
money awaiting him in the telegraph
office in Tucson. The officers asked
Sheriff Mcdonald, OF Tucson, to in
vestigate this and the result was that
the sheriff reported no money there
for Hubert. Tucson officers notified
Douglas that they had swooped down
ON the man there on Wednesday
and he had barely escaped them
Officers here believe, they say, that
Hubert's aeroplane is box car and
his desert, the railroad tracks between
here and Tucson.
Pictures OF the man have been
taken and have been forwarded to
San Diego along with finger. prilf
and every possible identification marx.
On the morning OF Feb. Is man
described as being six feet one inch
tall, weighing about 100 pounds and
having light complexion, is alleged
to have. assaulted young woman
in San Diego and finally beat her
over the head with hammer The
woman, it is repoTTeG, may die.
Officers here have several descriptions
all somewhat similar and all fitting,
in many details, the man Hubert.
This man is now wearing pair Of
tall, yellow top boots such as are
worn by cavalry officers and in
telling his story OF the crashed
aeroplane he pointed to the boots and
said, "You see / am an aviator"
