The pre-eminent fea- ture of the game was the pitching of Wiltse, who held the local batsmen | to two singles one decidedly scratchy. Not a Pittsburg player reached sec- ond base and only four got to first base. In all, only 28 men faced Wiltse, one of whom received a base on balls. The fielding on both sides was sharp, many brilliant plays be- ing made. Devore scored New York's first run in the fourth inning, open- ing by hitting a slow grounder to- ward first base, which none could handle in time. He went to second on Doyles base on balls, to third on a sacrifice by Snodgrass, and home on Murray’s out from McCarthy to Mec- Kechnie. Two runs in the sixth were scored by Wiltse and Devore. Wiltse was given his base on balls, and Devore made his third hit. A sacrifice by Doyle put Wiltse on third and Devore on second, from where both scored on a single by Snodgrass. R.

Of the five players Cleveland gets from the Central league, two are hit- ting over .300, while another is close up to that mark. Tom O’Brien, who comes from Den- wer to Boston with Oasey Hagerman, 1s halled as the Marty O'Toole of the Western league, and Denver fans will be greatly disappointed if he fails in this time up.

THE DAY BIG SLUGGERS ,STRIKET;I:E Tyrus Cobb, Larry Lajoie and Honus Wagner Have All Fanned Three Times in Single Game. Those discussing the relative mer- its of the big league batsmen, Ty Cobb, Larry Lajoie and Hans Wagner, can no longer remark in any argu- ment against Cobb that the world's greatest ball player has been fanned three times in one game while Lajole Honus Wagner. and Wagner never underwent that torture. ) Manning, who used to pitch for the New York Highlanders, set down Tyrus three times in a game played in New York. That was some time ago. Still, Wagner and Lajoie never ‘éxperfeiced the same displeasure un- til .recently, and a peculiar coineci- dence was that both Larry and Hans fanned three times on the same after- poon. George Suggs, former Tiger, pitcher for Cincinnati, handed it to Hans, while Ed. Walsh, who won fame this Beason by pitching a no-hit no-run game, struck out Larry in three out of four times at bat CANTILLON IS TRICKED Washington Manager Fooled at His Own Game. Elevates Pitcher’s Box So That White 8ox Twirlers Couldn’t Get Ball Over Plate—Comiskey Lowers His. “Long ago, when the world was young,” says Joe Cantillon, once man- ager of Washington, “Charlie Comis- key and I were running rival teams in the old Western league, and what we didn’t plan in the way of jobs and tricks upon each other wasn’t worth putting in the Book of Frauds. I al- ways figured the great-hearted Comis- key as my legitimate meat, and he Boon learned a few things on his own account, so that the score was kept fairly even as the days went by. “One time, when Commy’'s team was slated for a series on my grounds, a really great idea struck me. In those days there were no rules re- stricting the height of the pitching mound, and some awful elevations were constructed round the circuit. 1 resolved on making a hill such as no pitcher ever used before,and 1 made it, too. The ground-keeper at my park built up a mountain, and I trained my hurlers on that mountain every morn- ing for four days. When Comiskey’s gang arrived they were dumfounded to see that Mount Whitney of a pitching hill, towering up above the diamond, and with my pitchers grinning down at them. But they kicked in vain; there was no rule to stgp me, and the game began. For three days we had rich fun with Commy's men. My pitchers sent the ball swooping downward with a speed and an angle of direction that they couldn’t touch, while Commy’'s ! pitchers, unused to such an altitude, were helpless, hitting the batters on the feet and rebounding the ball trom the turf for wild pitches. “We arrived in Contiskey's burg two weeks later, and 1 felt pretty sure that we had a cinch. No matter how the old Roman might elevate his pitching mound, he couldn’t fool us, for my pitchers were all trained to the hill work, and could not be rattled or put to the bad, even if they were asked to throw from the summit of & steeple. But when we got to Commy’s fleld we let go one long, lingering yell of anguish and despair.. We were tricked, beaten, flim-lammed and skinned alive. “Immediately after his return from my town, so it seems, Comiskey got busy with his plans for a dark re- venge. He had his groundkeeper dig a grave at the pitcher’s slab—an ex- cavation about up to the hips of the average man—and then he trained his ourving force, day by day, to that most difficult of feats—throwing up- hill. It s awful labor, but, of course, a man can learn to do it, and by the time we appeared In the vicinity they all had it down to perfection. Can you imagine the finish? “My pitchers, trained to throwing downward from a mountain, were ab- salutely done. They couldn't get the ball anywhere near the batters and map after man walked, while the few foeble tosses that oame over the For club to 40 players. Hbbets says that in trying to bulld up his Brooklyn olub he needs more than that num- ber and wants the clubs to vote om the proposition before the propowed now rule is made effective. ——— - three days the carnage went on and we were trimmed 12 to 2, 11 to 2 and 17 to 5. Them Comiskey and I got to- @ether, agreed to restore our pitching slabs to their normal aititude and never agaln to try anything on each otber.” T — 4 0 A g e e HAZEN GOES ON STAND AGAINST DR DUMAS (Continued from first page). of having arrested Mike Davis early in March. Ww. C. Hunt, a powder and dyna- mite expert, from Washburn, Wis.,,! was called by the state and gave some interesting information regarding dynamite. Incidentally the state has six sticks of dynamite, taken from Dr. Dumas’ safe in a satchel locked in the clerk of court’s vault at the| court house. Mr. Hunt explained that the com- ! ponent parts of dynamite, and said| he had inspected the six sticks taken from the doctor’s safe. Mr. Hunt said there was 30 per cent of nitro-| glycerine in each stick marked GO‘: per cent dynamite. He said that 11 ounces of nitro-glycerine can be ex-| tracted from four of these sticks. He| explained that dynamite can burn without exploding but he admittedi that he would not want to try the ex-! periment. He said that nitro-glycer- ine could be removed from dynamite by pouring cold water over it and al—“ lowing it to expand, or by pouring warm water over it when the nitro-| glycerine sinks to the bottom of the water. On cross examination he said | that nitro-glycerine was made from | two acids, and that burning nitro-; glycerine was extremely dangerous. “I know that no one with any sense would attempt to burn it.” The witness objected to explain- ing the trade’s secrets, but was told by the Court that he must answer,’ and he said the materials used con- | tained such things as sawdust’ wood,i cornmeal, pulp, ete. Charles Swedburg, clerk in the Pu- posky store at the time of the alleged attempt at arson, told of seeing Da- vis and Behan while the officers were hidden in the building. He 1denti-= fied a photograph of Mike Davis. He| said he got information of what was coming off ten days before it hap- pened. He identified a pick axe, a! maul, and a piece of iron as tools | found in the store in the morning after the raid, but on cross exami- nation admitted he could not be sure that they were the same implements shown to him in the court room. Two announcements were made byl attorneys. “We expect to put our last witness| on the stand this afternoon,” said| Attorney E. E. McDonald, special counsel for the state. him, and Dr. Dumas. said there wmsI nothing in it. Dr. Dumas told him all he knew about Puposky was through a friend. Mr. Stem told of overhearin_g a conversation between Dr. Dumas and several acquaint- ances. Mr. Bersley was present. He said he heard the doctor say he had been offered aid from St. Paul, but didn’t need it, or words to that ef- fect. Fred Bersley was called by the state but could not be found and J. J. Dunlap took the witness chair. Mr. Dunlap said he was assistant postmaster at Grand Forks and has been for 18 years. He told of seeing Sam Fullerton in Grand Forks in {June, and that he showed him a let- ter addressed to Ed. LeClare. He said the letter was received in the idue course of mail and that it was la- ter returned to Dr. Dumas. M. Lane objected to this line of evidence but was overruled. “Did you notice what was written or printed on the i+ Mr. Janes. Mr. Lane objected but was over- ruled. “Ed. LeClare, Grand Forks, N. D.” ianswered Mr. Dunlap. Fred Bursley was again called and being sworn, said he has lived here 10 years and that at the present time is fire department engineer and muni- cipal court officer. He identified the photographs of Mike Davis. He said he had seen Davis on March 4, when Officer . Dentey brought him to the city lock up; that he was there from Saturday until Monday. He gave a description of Davis to the jury. WOMAN TOILS IN MALE ATTIRE Brought From Italy Under Contract to Masquerade for Five Years. Duluth, Minn., Oct. 3.—Dressed as a man and working as a common la- borer on a farm near Mellen, Wis., according to an agreement made be- tween her father in Italy and her cousin, which was to be binding for five years, Monica Dossette, an Ital- ian woman, 35 years old, was brought here by United States immigration officers. The woman is about 4 feet 6 inch- es tall and weighs between ninety and one hundred pounds. When she arrived at the farm of Peter Devero in May, 9110, she was equipped with overalls and then sent out to work as a laborer. After the day’s work was over she had to saw wood. Pending deportation the woman “If we ever put any witness on the stand Dr, Dumas will go him- self,” was’(the significant comment! of Attorney Freeman P. Lane counsel for the defense. John G. Oman of Cass Lake testi- fied that he was a member of the baseball team which Dr. Dumas took | to Hibbing the night of the Puposky: raid. “While on the train I rode with Dr. | Dumas,” said Oman, “and I made the | remark that it was a bright night and the doctor said, ‘It would. be a poor night to pull anything off.” " Edward Miskella, Cass Lake un- dertaker, said he had known Dr. Du- mas for three years and that recent- ly had boarded at the same hotel; with him. He started to tell of aj conversation with Dr. Dumas relative to dynamite and nitroglycerine when Attorney Lane objected. Assistant Attorney Janes argued that a witness for the state had tes- tified that in the original agreement in the Puposky plans the doctor had proposed that nitroglycerine be u§ed to blow the safe which would cover up the burning of the building and the arson plot would appear as a yegg job. Attorney Lane objected on the ground that this method of question- ing was not germaine to the issue in the case in that it attempted to con- nect the doctor with robbery when he was being tried for attempted arson, and this objection was sustained. Other witnesses at the morning session testified to minor details. Despite a steady rain the court room was filled, many women being pres- ent. | The Beltrami county grand jury reconvened this morning and attor- neys for the state told the court that representatives from the attorney general’'s office desired to take up other matters, presumably relating directly or to the Dumas case, but that the matter could go over for a few days. All members of the grand jury were excluded from the court pro- ceedings of the Dumas case. At the morning session George Stein, city clerk, was called and said he has lived in Bemidji for three vears. He said he had lived in Cass Lake for 10 years, railroading and that he knows Dr. Dumas, and that for some time he lived at the same| of | has been placed in the hands of an Italian family in Duluth. 'SHOOTS SELF WHILE RIDING Virgil Dyer of Funkley Has Unusual Accident on Horse. Funkley, Oct. 3.—Virgil Dyer, a i well known young man of this place, accidentally shot himself Saturday evening.

Fearing that the city may be called upon to settle damage suits as the result of the weakened condition of the bridge across the Mississippi riv- er, the council last night decided, af- ter receiving figures from the city en- gineer, to instruct that official to go ahead and repair the structure at a cost of about $700. The city engi-| neer had reported that the bridge | needed attention and what the least it could be properly repaired for was this amount and he said that a new concrete bridge would cost at least $7,000. It was pointed out by the aldermen that it would be inadvis- able to construct a concrete bridge at this time if for no other reason “We are often criticised for what we do and are told what we shouldn’t do,” said President L. F. Johnson, “and now if there is any citizen here who can! offer any advice we should be glad' to hear from him. There is no doubt but what something should be done. The bridge as it now stands is apt‘ to get us into damage suits at any time.” By a unanimous vote it was| decided that the council should in—{ struct the engineer to proceed at once | with the work. " | {WILSON GIVES IN TO WILEY! Now Willing to Let Doctor Com:roli ! Pure Food Laws. ! | Washington Oct. 3.—Dr. Harvey W. Wiley’s great ambition to be in control of the administration of the: pure food laws is to be realized so far as Secretary Wilson is concerned. When the president returns to Washington and takes the Wiley case up with Secretary Wilson he will find that his Secretary of Agriculture will interpose no objection to turning the enforcement of the pure food laws ov- er to Dr. Wiley, but he will suggest that the work be placed in another department. While Secretary Wilson will not oppose the placing of Dr. Wiley at the head of a pure food bureau, he will strongly object to any proposi- tion that entails the removal from the department of Solicitor McCabe or Dr. Dunlap, the two department officials who have been serving with Dr. Wiley upon pure food board. “Personal liberty” will be a lead- ing subject of discussion at the sixth annual convention of the National| German-American Alliance, which is| to meet in Washington Friday of this week. The convention is expected to adopt strong resolutions in opposi- tion to restrictive legislation in mat- ters affecting temperance and Sun- day observance. In its campaign for “personal liberty,” it is declared, the Alliance has been given assurance ofI the close and stanch support of the Ancient Order of Hibernians and oth- er Irish-American organizations throughout the country. The con- vention will be attended by about 1,000 delegates, representing German organizations throughout the United same evening. States. The readers of your business for it. and for how hotel with Dr. Dumas there. Mr. Stein told of meeting Dr. Dumas one evening 10 days after the Puposky affair at the Rex Hotel, when he played cribbage with the Cass Lake mayor.
