AIDED BY MATE. FIGHTS OFF SUPER STITIOUS SAILORS. Philadelphia. Pa—The body of Cap tain James Lorenz of the bark John Ena, whose death occurred while the vessel was just off Cape Horn, was re moved from the cabin of the bark on arrival here and shipped to San Fran cisco. the late master's home. Accompanying the casket was the young widow of the captain, who for 42 days and nights sat and watched by the side of the rough pine box in whtch the body was incased by the ship's carpenter, while the crew grumbled end threaiened mutiny if the body was not cast overboard, accord ing to the custom of superstition. Mate Oleson of the vessel, armed Demanded That the Body Be Cast Overboard. with a revolver and a belaying pin. was compelled to use force a number of times to check the mutinous spirit of the crew, which was made up of Japanese. Porto Ricans, Sandwich Islanders and a few white men. The members of the crew declare that they knew something was going to happen w hen a black cat. belonging to Mrs. Lorenz, was discovered on board shortly after the beginning of the cruise from Honolulu to this city, and the sailors demanded that the animal be cast overboard. It was Mrs. Lorenz' pet and the captain and Oleson refused to comply with the de mand. When Just off Cape Horn. Captain Jim. as he was called, was seized with an attack of Bright's disease. For two days his wife put up a heroic fight for his life, but without avail. For several days the captain's death was kept a secret from the crew, but when they learned of it they demand ed that the body be cast overboard. Oleson. the mate, refused to comply with the demand, and watched over the young wife and her dead, day and night until the vessel was towed to her anchorage here. It was Mrs. Lorenz' first trip with her husband, though they had been married a few years. GETS MEDAL AS BRAVE MAN, Young Englishman Plunges Into the Gas-Laden Hold of Ship and Rescues Three. Yonkers. N. Y.—Thomas A. Broad bent. a slender young Englishman who came to work as a machinist in a fac tory here six months ago. has just re ceived a king s medal from the British government in recognition of his hav ing performed "the most heroic act of the year 15*09 In all the English mari time service.” Hroadbent was on the ship Fantee. which left Liverpool for the west coast of Africa. Off Cape Palmas. Liberia, the ship ran upon a reef and it became necessary for all hands to get to work shifting the cargo. The cargo in cluded some jars of an acid, which when mixed with water generated a deadly gas. In a lower hold, where six men were working, the ship's carpen ter. the captain and the first mate, in haled the gas and dropped dead. Three seamen who were just outside the death zone fell unconscious. When this was discovered there were calls for volunteers to bring back the living. Broadbent volunteered and. wlih a rope about his middle, was lowered In to the chamber of death. One at a time, he brought the three sailors to the fresh air and then, late ly conscious, he was lowered again at bis own request to bring up the cap tain's body. This time he collapsed and was de lirious for five weeks. The ship itself subsequently was succored by another British vessel and Hroadbent came to this country. Lady Cops in Spokane.

That so eminent a baseball author ity as John McGraw should scan the baseball situation with an unbiased eye and frlve the Cubs the best chance ' of winning the pennant this year has cheered that team considerably. They know that many things—unexpected Manager McGravo. to be relied upon when he talks base ball In a purely Impersonal manner. This Is what McGraw has to say about the pennant race: "1 am nor giving up the fight yet— not by any means, believe me. Neith er Clarke nor Griffith should giTe It up. either, for baseball Is a mighty un certain sort of a game, and you and I know that many things — unexpected things—may happen that would change the whole complexion of the i race. "Still. If you were to ask me. not as the leader of the Giants, but as a stu dent of form, both of men and of horses, who was going to win this race. I’d be obliged to say, "The Cubs." "Reason? Not their pitching staff. No. and not their individual or collec tive experience as players. It’s slm P'y This: Their experience and the steady, consistent play they can keep up without the rattles interfering r*oa t you see? If they we re so old that they couldn't stand the strain, that would make things different. 1 heit experience wouldn't save them then. But they are still young enough to go the route, believe me; and that, with their long training in the field of championship hall, will carry them through. "There are three teams out of the first four that cannot put up the steady concerted game needful to heat the Cubs." NOVEL RULING BY CHIVINGTON President of American Association Or ders One Inning to Be Played to Settle Dispute.

Od June 30 Umpire Guthrie called the game with Minneapolis ahead. S to 4. on account of darkness. Man ager Friel of Columbus protested the contest, and it was established that it was light enough to continue play. Boston Nationals hare made IS tome runs this year, and the team is in last place. Heine Peiti, the deposed manager of the Louisville Colonels, is now man aging the Lancaster team in the PO league. Artie Holman, center fielder of the Cubs, is batting .316 in S3 games.

Jerry Downs, who was a member of the Senators before going to the American association, is slated for a berth with the Cleveland team for next season. Bill Burns reads magazines between tunings to keep his mind off the game That is one of the reasons, he says, that he has been able to pitch so well since he Joined the Reds. Patsy Donovan of the Red Sox says the fight for the American league flag is to be a four-cornered affair. AH of them seem to think the Tigers will be in there before the finish.

He played at Syracuse and with other eastern teams, but retired from base ball while still j eung. because he could make incr? money in other ways. The love of the game still was strong in him. and even up to the pres ent time he Is hard to beat. I think he meant one of h's boys to be a player, and when we were little fellows he used to take us Into the yard and coach us and teach us the same, as it should be played. 1 started playing with kid teams around Columbus. Ohio, my home, and then with the high school team. At r.ight after a game I would talk the plays over with father and ask his advice as to how the plays ought to have been made. In this way 1 learned a lot ar.d also became known among the fellows, because I could tell them things about the game. I pitched and played th:rd for tae high school team. I was scarcely more than a "kid" when 1 went to Oecatur as a third baseman, or short stop. I fld pretty well there and was much pleased when Columbus wanted me. as 1 hoped to play br.sKat home, whete I could see the people and be patted on the back. player is a pretty tough one for a kid starting out. and there were lots of b.itter nights for me then, when I wanted to quit and run home. It was rough experience especially for a boy who has been praised and applauded in a school tear.!, but it was valuable to me because it taught me the game and made' me fight. 1 did not stay in the minors long. Twice Columbus called me back and Billy Purtelt. sent me away again. and then Chicago bought me and put me on bench duty* If playing ball is hard, playing on the bench Is harder. I had a lot of that bench work, fretting my heart out be cause I couldn't be in there playing the game and longing for a chance tc show them I could make good. They shifted me around in positions, too which made it harder. One thing 1 learned was to jump in. do the best 1 could, obey orders and not make ex cuses no matter what happened. 1 was playing with older and much more experienced men. and I watched them and tried to learn from them. 1 found I could learn even from the worst ctf them something that might help me. I was nearly killed by a pltchec ball, and for a time it shook all the nerve out of me. I determined to fight It out. and after a time was surprised to find myself less afraid than ever and more determined. NEW CURVE BRINGS SUCCESS Wonderful Achievements of Russel Ford of Highlanders Due to Spitball Curve. The wonderful success of Russel Fbrd. the star pitcher of the Highland ers. Is due principally to derelopmen: of a freak spitball curve Lajoie was unable to find it the other day anc did not get a single drive off the voung architect. The regular spitbal is thrown by covering the tips of the first and second fingers with saliva sc that the ball will slip off those finger? and not take a rotary motion. The ball, therefore gets its direction fron the thumb and wabbles to the plate in a peculiar, jerky feshion. The onlj trouble with that curve is the in ability of the pitcher to make it break •in" or "out” to the batter according to the wishes of the twirler. Ford has • solved that problem by inventing ? way of making the curve break in Ford found that fcv moistening the knuckl^ of his third finger with salivs that the ball would slip off from the side instead of the tips of the fingers and as there was no friction on the right side of the ball it would grad uallv drop "inside- of the plate He controls it perfectly. He can al«t make the ball break outward be moistening the thumb.

Only twenty-one prisons in fifteen states and territories have provided special places for the treatment of their tuberculous prisoners. These in stitutions can accommodate, however, only S00 patients. In three-fourths of «ne major prisons and in practically all the jails of the country the tuber culous prisoner is allowed freely to infect his fellow prisoners, very few restrictions being placed upon his habits. When the congregate mode of prison life is considered, the danger of infection becomes greater than in the general population. New York and Massachusetts are the only states where any systematic attempt has been made to transfer all tuberculouf prisoners to one central institution* The largest prison tuberculosis hospfr tal Is in Manila, where accommods tions for 200 prisoners are provided The next largest is Clinton prison hos pital in New York, which provides tot 150.
