The American league clash has al- ready settled among three clubs— Chicago, Detroit and Boston with the margin evenly split. These three should drive down the stretch beak and beak. But the National league upheaval is ene of the greatest ever arranged in” all the history of the game. No one club is anywheére out of it, and it is possible for the tailender to reach the top within ten days. The one club. in the league with pennant class, tae Braves has been so. badly crippled they have never been able to show their proper form. And among the other séven there isn’t a club that can be rated as a cham- plonship machihe beyond ordinary value. We still figure the Braves good enough to get going and win but the margin will hardly be extensive, and among the other seven there will be no great gap at the end . of the year if anything like ‘even fortune should prevail.

Peterson of South street on Saturday night, came up again to- aay. Attorney P. F. McDonough ap- peared for the accused. Part of the testimony was present- éd at Monday’s hearing and was re. | sumed with the calling of Mrs. Peter- son this morning. She said she saw her husband and the accused in a scuffle, , Officer “Gus” Nelson, who made, the arrest, said Johnson had been drink- ing. He did not know anything about the trouble. : | Mr. Halloway, who resides next door- to Peterson's house, said he heard a commotion and saw a man fleeing from Peterson's yard. The accused took the witness stand, sald he was married and was twenty- five years ald. On the night of the trouble in com- pany with his wife and child and a friend he was passing Peterson’s house when a dog rushed at him. He gave chase to the canine and Peterson rushed from his house and struck him several times.

Adjourned Case Heard. John Sowa, charged yesterday with drunkénness and breach of the peace, was arraigned before the caurt today. Attorney P. ¥. McDonough appeared for him. Officer Richardson arrested Sowa Saturday evening in a Spring street saloon after he learned. of trouble Bowa was involved in earlier in the evening. Attorney McDonough cross- éxamined the officer at length, as to whether Sowa had made a complaint about being assaulted by two men. The officer answered in the negative. Joseph Kowalski, proprietor of the saloon where Sowa w arrested, said that the accused was ‘‘fresh” and was put out of the place. Jae Mennik said he went to the sa- loon to have “a ball of beer” and Sowa, who was at the bar, started to push him around. He remonstrated with him and toald him to ‘cut it off,” but Sowa who is a “bad man” when drunk, refused, and he punched him to get rid of him. The testimony of the witness was interpolated by the use of cuss words. *“Micky” Karalazia, aged 8 years, made his initial appearance in court as a witness for the defense. “Do you go to school? asked Pros- ! ecutor Klett. “Yes sir, answered “Micky.” “Do you know where vou will go if you tell a lie asked Prosecutor Klett. “Sure, I will go to hell,” said “Micky.” B He said he was near Kowalski's { saloon and saw Sowa and two other During the question- ing of the witness by the prosecutor, Sowa made several signs at the boy which were detected by Prosecutor ! Klett, who appealéd to the court, and Judge Kirkham warned Sowa. The boy was one of the brightest lads of his age that has ever appeared in court as a witness. His answers | were given quickly and without hesi- tation. drunk. ‘When asked if Sowa was [“Micky” said “sure.’” He saw Mennik hit Sowa in the face, knock- ing him down, Sowa said he went to a house with | a friend who, after telling him thal he was a rich man in Pennsylvania, hit him several times in the face. He left the place and went to the saloon where he, was “beat up” by Mennik, and later the officer arrived and he was arrested. The absolute need of an interpreter to take the place of M. R. Malinow- ski, when the latter is out of town. was evidenced this morning. A man named Chapau, who attends the ses- sions of court daily is called upor: frequently to act in this capacity, but his unfitness for the job has been evidenced on so many occasions that it would séem as if the court's patience would soon be exhausted. During the examination of the wit- ness by Attprney McDonough, in which the interpréter lost consider- able time in trying to put a question to the witness, Judge Kirkham said: “It seems as if we are wasting a lot of time in this casé.” Mike Sowa testified that he saw Koch and Mennik strike John Sowa and then run into-Dobson’s saloon. Attorney McDonough in his argu- ment for his client that instead of bréeach of peace against Sowa being preferred. it should have been a case of assault against Koch and Men- nik. He referred in his remarks that Officer Richardson should have inves- tigated more extensively before he ar- rested his client. Judge Kirkham found the accused guilty and imposed a fine of $10 for intoxication and $5 for breach ‘of the peace. An appeal was taken and bonds were placed at $100. 7 Violates Auto Law. “Dannia” Commane, the well known real estate agent, was arrested by Officer Patrick Quirk, charged with violating the auto law in running past a standing trolley car. He was represented. by Attorney F. B. Hun- gerford and pleaded not guilty. Pros- ecutor Klett entered a nolle as there was ‘a question as to whether or not the law was violated. The vehicles were going in opposite directions. DR. REINSCH COMING HERE. Peking. Jure 15, 12:30 A. M.—Dr. Paul S.
