IL1ARRIs made . spectacular catch
i i to get on the big end of side
retiring double play in the tirst
round OF the opening game. Dave
sprinted to right-center for a shoe-top
grab Of McNGanus' liner, then, while of
Walker, who had doubled, OF second.
Manush raced over to the score board
back of left-center In the second ses-
sion to keep q long hit from Alexander.
Myer made q fiaShy pickup Of Walkers
bunt over Burke's head in the fourth,
then tried to convince the umpires he
had caught the ball on the fly. He
couldn't get away with 1t. McManus
made q whale of a stop back OF third
base In the fifth and barely tagged
Cronin. Spencer stretched far across
the grandstand wall to snare McManus'
foul to end Detroit's rally in the sixth.
After socking Two doubles and single
Walker went up in the eighth to bat
for the fourth time and drove into q
double play.
TRONIN'S double in the first inning
~ of the second set-to narrowly missed
being q homer, the ball landing
against the 1eft-fleld fence within few
inches Of the top. Only remarkable
stop by Owen, third Sacker, kept a hit
from Cronin and q run from the Ma
tionals In the third. With Manush at
the far corner Joe rified the ball down
the left-fleld stripe, but owen lunged
far to his right for a pickup and with
a hurried throw got his man. Harris
almost lost Koenig's hoist In the fifth,
getting the ball in deepest right only
after staggering under 1t. Had 1t fallen
safely Stone probably would have scored
from first base for the Tigers. The
sixth was Harris inning, Dave making
the three put-outs after Uhle had
singled. Bluege and Kuhel made fine
plays to get Alexander in the seventh.
OSsie tore in to scoop up Dale'S slow
one and Joe stretched to dig a throw
out of the dirt for wbiSker decision at
first. ....+
Umpire Guthrie, who missed that
double-play in Washington just a week
ago yesterday, lost a third strike on
Brewer in the ninth when the Tigers
had the bases jammed. Brewer plainly
swung, but Guthrie, behind the plate,
held that the batter was ducking pitch
and would not listen to the other UNI
pireS, ready TO sustain Manager johnson
in his protest. Then Brewer swung
again and Guthrie saw the swing.

CjS Grim Looking to Series With As C1onn Chapman
Chapnan's Theft
Mark Stands Out
BY JOHN B. FOSTER.

NEW YORK, June 24.-No in
l. y dividual achievement on the
ball field stands out more con-
spicuously in 1891 than the record
of 26 stolen bases made to date by
Ben Chapman of the Yankees. It
is an extraordinary performance,
not because 1t is a record for all
time, but because 1t shows an apti-
tude for base running far in excess
of that displayed by any player in
recent years.
Ten seasons ago, George Sisler led
the American League in stolen bases
with 35. The chronicler Of those
days naively wrote: 1.-THE American
League did not pay much attention
to base running In this season" That
is Obvious enough. but the man who
reviewed the records could not pass
them up without making point Of
the scarcity of stolen bases.
When Ty Cobb was motive power
in the American League, one of the
big attractions of all games was the
base running and the junior circuit
got no little satisfaction in talking
about It, The patrons liked it.
There never has been a season or a
period in base ball when the spec
tators have not been enthusiastic
over good base running.

 Pangborn piloted the monoplane here from Khabarovsk, in Eastern Siberia, yesterday. He said he had not received telegrams instructing him to remain at the Russian city until a regular landing permit had been arranged. He said he be- lieved his emergency landing per init would be sufficient.

WOMAN WITNESS RENTED BARN FOR
 DIAMOND BEER
But She Was Awakened Too Early in Morning, Got Scared and Told the Authorities

New York, Aug 2. UP)-The story of how thirsty tourists in the sleepy Catskills were supplied with beer as unfolded for an ardent pro- hibitionist judge and twelve per- spiring jurors at the third days trial of Jack Negs) Diamond by Buxom Mrs Minnie Midgeley, "beer drop lady" of Cairo, will be continued to-day.
 Mrs Midgeley, one of 19 witt nesses who testified for the gov ernment in it's effort to convict Diamond and his lieutenant, Paul Quattrocchi, on charges of boot logging in Greene county, explain ed for the benefit of Judge Rich ard J. Hopkins, Kansas dry in charge of the case, that beer age place or cache.
 Another Witness-Charles Has, selman, who runs an eating place in Catskill-gave the first hint that perhaps the brand of lager Dia- mond peddled was not of as good quality as that liquor which legend says Rip-Van-W Wrinkle drank, a drink so potent he slept for 20 yea&
 HasseIman said he had com plained about Diamonds beer and that the gang leader heard of 1t and visited him.
 "Your beer Is not good, it's very poor" Hasselman said he told the facketeer. He quoted Diamond as replying well, I'll bring down a couple more halves and if they don't satisfy you, you can buy off who you please"
 Mrs Midgeley, dressed in black and wearing glass beads. told how she and her husband had taken over the Greene county farm at Cairo and converted it into lodg- ing house for tourists.
 Fred Becker. truckman who admitted carting beer for Quatt- rocchi, suggested she rent her barn to Quattrocchi for drop" she said.
 T told them I did not want that kind of beer dropped there" she said. but he said don't be afraid
 She said that every night for a month she was awakened daily at 4 or a. m. by Fred Becker roll ing beer barrels into the barn. When Becker had q slight smash up and then was arrested for carrying gun, which he kept as protection against hi-jackers, Mrs Midgeley began to get frightened and told Quattrocchi to take his beer out she related.

added to the already large cost oi operation.
 "tJntii there is q reasonably large teleyislon audience, it Is go ing to be rather hard to convince inc advertiser that his money h we'll psent in television broadcast ing. while on the other hand. there is net likely to be much of an audi ence until there is something to see and hear. And so television IS likely to grow slowly"
 With a radio receiver, 1t IS pos sible to play bridge, read news papers, have dinner and do many other things while the radio set is working. It is possible to shunt the music into the background of ones mind and still concentrate on something else.

L. A. Nixon, q colored man, Of Fl

The statute was enacted after the

in case brought also by Nixon
Nixon was refused permission to vote
