BASEBALL

League Likely to Ask Change In Base Balls Now in Use

St. Louis, July 23. If put to a vote of the ball players the present ball, used In tho American and National league games would be abolished. Protests against the ball now in use in the leagues have been made by umpires, players and club owners all around and a change 1s sure to be made next season, if not before. Prior to this season the base balls were made with a small rubber core. Because of the cry for more hitting the manufacturers conceived the Idea of substituting cork for rubber. They claimed that would make the ball livelier. Instead of a solid rubber core a small cork ball with only a rubber coating Is now used. . This cork. It is claimed. Is causing all the annoyance. In some quarters It Is held that the cork center Is also causing a lot of the really high-class pitchers In the league to have more off days than In former years. The trouble Is this: With a solid rubber core the ball can be hit with any amount of force and the sphere will go back to It original shape. With cork as a center a hard soak will flatten the Inner core and it will remain that way. The lop-sided balls are blamed for some of the inferior pitching of the season. O'Dsy Expresses Opinion. According to Umpire "Hank" OTJay, official in charge of the current Cardinals-Quakers series, he has thrown out more poor balls already this sea son than he has In three previous years combined. He Bays hardly a day passes that he is not forced to discard a ball because it has been knocked out of shape. "I don't know positively what causes this, but I suppose it is the new material with which they are making the balls this year." said O'Day to the Post-Dispatch. "But I am sure the balls are not as good this year, as heretofore. They are knocked into all kinds of shapes. In Sunday's game here I got hold of a ball that had been rapped pretty hard, and with my thumb and forefinger could feel a spot that was almost as soft as mush: "The effect of hard smashes on

Ray Bronson is Game Little . Fighter, A Iways in Condition

Indianapolis, July 2.1. Ray Bronson J Indiana's premier lightweight and challenger of the world at 133 pounds Is inspired with one ambition these days namely a chance at Ad Wolgast. Next Wednesday he will meet "Kid" Dalton in a lo round bout iu Richmond. -The desire for the Queensbury debate with the recent conqueror of Battling Nelson, keeps Bronson a work all the time. He is ever boxing, training and fighting. He is husbanding strength, hardening muscle, Improving speed and wind, preparing himself for the struggle with the Milwaukee boy for the world's lightweight title. Bronson has proven the reef upon which the much touted lightweights of the middle west and east have been wrecked. He has gone against the talent In the 133 pound division with the exception of Nelson and Wolgast and Ray has been returned the winner so consistently that he has earned the right to battle for the highest honors in his department of pugilists. , The speedy Indiana champion has shown his class time and again. He Is a fighter as well as a boxer. Ho Is not only one of these clever boys who put up some scientific sparing, but Is there a million when it comes to mixing and giving and taking fierce long and short arm jolts. Bronson Is aggressive. He believes in going at his opponent hammer .and tongs and he has never been staged In a city that he has not won a 'host of friends. He has proven one of the best drawing cards west of the Rockies. Moreover, Branson's consistent training and Inclination and strength of character, to take good care of himself has developed an endurance which prepares him for the Marathon route. Branson's engagements have seldom been over twenty rounds but that Is much better, as he has shown time and again that the short down east six and ten round mills are nothing more than a good work out for him. Bronson has always been ready for the call to arms regardless of the number of rounds. Nature has been kind to Bronson In one particular respect and that is the long reach with which he has been endowed. He has the reach on practically every man that he faces and this has proven of much value. It enables him to protect himself at long range, and adds materially to the power of his ambidextrous kick. Above everything else Bronson has the fighting heart He is not cowed by reputation of any famed fistic knight before he enters the ring. He loves to fight and his ability to take punishment and still come back with a smile, has perhaps won him more friends than any other feature. From New Orleans to Boston this clever exponent of the fistic gsme Is well liked. Hundreds of people who have followed the arena contests closely believe that he is the most deserving of a chance at Wolgast or Nelson. His cleverness, stamina, squareness and his excellent showing against Packy McFarland, Freddie Welsh, Dave Deschler, Mattfe Baldwin and other tough ones. It !s thought entitles him to the first call with the Wisconsin Wildcat Bronson Is doing everything in his power to land a match. He will be ready at a moment's notice to go in the scramble for the championship of the world. He Is planning to go to the Pacific coast at the slightest excuse. He Is ready to meet Wolgast on the champion's own terms. He

these balls la very apt to have its effect on the pitching. I am not certain but it may be the cause ot some of the really nmr exhibitions now and then

by first class Ditchers. It stands to reason that a man can't throw a lop sided object PS well as he can a perfectly round one. It's the same as trying to throw a square block of wood and a round one of the same weight "These pitchers have been trained to throw perfectly round balls. They Then when a lop-sided ball Is brought Into play It seems only natural tnat they cannot control it as well as the round ball. "I have heard It said that the present ball cannot be hit as hard as the old ball with the rubber core. That may be true, but I must say that I have seen some awfully hard hit balls this year. Take big fellows like Koney. Evans, Magee, Bransrteld. Chance. Cobb, Crawford, Wagner, Mitchell and Zimmerman; when they land on a ball It's going to go some." i According to Johnny Lush the Cardinals clever little southpaw, he has noticed a difference in the b?.U this season, but believes It hasn't had any effect on his twirling. Old Ball May Be Restored. "The ball Isn't as good as formerly," said Lush. "I don't believe it can be hit as far as the ones with the rubber core. It's supposed to be livelier, but too many are knocked out of shape. ; The catchers notice this especially, as they take more time In handling tne balls. Of course, as soon as a ball is knocked out of its original shape, all you have to do is to show it to the umpire. He's supposed to put it out of play." It is said that the attention of the matter has been brought to President Lynch, who has ordered an Investigation, and some action will likely result It is probable that the manufacturers will be asked to make the balls with the rubber center hereafter. The Increased cost of rubber is said to have been the real . reason for the switch to cork. But it ir, almost certain that the present ball will not do. believes that the Marathon distance of forty-five rounds Is Just to bis Ilk ing. The veteran fans of the Pacific coast would like Branson's style. Those people who admired Nelson, who reveled in the great forty-round fight between the Durable Dane and Wildcat Wolgast, would be impressed with the performance of Bronson He Is a fighter, has a dangerous kick in 'either mit, does not know the word "quit." is a clean, game, brilliant fighter, who strikes from any angle. He mixes it fast and furious from the first tap of the gong. Every man who has faced this climbing champion of Hooslerdom has borne the marks of a real scrap. Bronson has hosts of friends who will back, him to the limit Person ally he is clean, manly, saves his money, shares his winnings with bis mother, is not bothered with infla tion of the cranium and Is well-liked both in his home state and wherever he has appeared. All who know him are pulling for him and are anxious to see him mix with Wolgast, and the "wise ones" believe Bronson is the man who Is clever, fast, game enough to take the measure of the champion from Milwaukee. L Scot and a German in Italian Saloon Dispute on Spanish Language. ARRESTED BY A NEGRO COP (American News Service) Spokane, Wash., July 23. Herman Zierenburg, formerly a subject -of Kaiser Wllhelm, and Donald MacLean born In the highlands of Scotland, became Involved in an argument about the Spanish language while drinking Irish and Canadian whiskies In an Italian saloon In Spokane and a fight with more or less regard for the rules of the American, prise ring, followed rney were arrested by a negro po liceman and Judge S.

"I was telling several of my French acquaintances about my visit in South America," he continu ed, "and this man 'butted In.' scying he could speak the lingo of the bull fighters. I asked several questions In pure Spanish and he could not ans wer. Instead he called me vile names. Rather than have trouble I left the place and he followed me out and mixed it MacLean said he could not remember how the trouble started, but he placed the blame on Zierenburg. The two men were brought together by a sturdy Norseman, an acquaintance of both and they have become fast friends. .

HOW

MRS. EDIIA HISER GRAHTED DIVORCE

She Testifies That Since Her Marriage She Had Been Ignored.' NO DEFENSE IS OFFERED 'MARRIAGE WAS A MIS-FIT" WAS COMMENT OF THE COURT DIVORCE RECALLS SENSATIONAL ENCOUNTER. Testifying that-she has been practically deserted since her marriage to Benjamin Hiser. Mrs. Edna MlllerHiser was granted a divorce by Judge FOx this morning and given the custoday, under provision of the one child one year of are. It is believed that through some out side settlement of the case that certain testimony of sensational interest to both sides was not placed publicly before the court. The marriage was a mis-fit." stat ed Judge Fox to the Palladium. After about en hour on the witness stand during which she unfolded a pit iable and sentimental story of ill treat ment Mrs. Hiser was dismissed and the court asked the defendant if he bad any denial to make of any of the plaintiff's statements. Hiser Merely Smiled. "Not a denial," smiled Hiser as he bowed slightly to the court Mrs. Hiser testified that the cruel treatment consisted of her husband leaving her on Sundays to go to the home of his aged parents at Hisers Station on the National road west of the city: also that her husband had refused to go walking with her and that once he had gently informed her that she was a "little fool." The granting of the divorce in which no alimony was asked, revives a sensational story. Three weeks ago tonight Hiser and his wife went motor riding with Mr. George Miller and family, Mrs. Hlser's parents. During the ride some remark was made to Hiser which he resented and he asked to be allowed to leave the machine and return home. The car was stopped and Hiser left the vehicle. Returning to his home on North Tenth street, which is almost across the street from his father-in-law's place, Hiser took a seat on the veranda. Perhaps an hour afterward, Mr. Miller came to Hlser's home and, it is alleged, delivered himself of a few verbal statements which were not along the soothing lines. Miller, it is said, was ordered to leave the premises and when he refused Hiser struck at him. The two fought to the pavement in front of Hiser's house. That murder was not committed, it is alleged, was due to Hiser's carelessness in Inserting rim fire cartridges in a center-fire revolver. It is charged that Hiser pulled the trigger of his gun at least twice, but that no report followed. Hiser was arrested for disorderly conduct but the case' in police court went by default of his non-appearance. Shortly afterward a petition for divorce was filed in the circuit court A NICE KIDNAPPER t (Palladium Special) San Antonio, Tex., July 23 Mrs. Dolores Gomez of this city fs a very obliging person and that is how an unnatural man and woman got rid of a bouncing, blue-eyed, four-months old boy. Mrs. Gomez was sitting on her veranda when a buggy drew up in front of her house and out of it stepped a man with a .baby 'in his arms. "I wish you would hold this baby for about five minutes if you please," he said. "We'll be back then." Suspecting nothing, Mrs. Gomez took the child and made it comfortable. But the five minutes went, so did an hour, and so did the day. and still the baby's parents did not return. So far they have not shown up and the police are of the opinion that they never will. The boy has been transferred to an orphan asylum of this city and unles3 his heartless parents show up within a week he will lose his identity for always.

PILLARS OF LIGHTS

Will Be Placed on North Tenth Street During the Fall Festival. A NOVEL ILLUMINATION A plan for using incandescent electric lights to form the principle street decoration for the Fall Festival has practically been adopted by the decorating committee. A meeting was held last night and a system of decoration explained which will mean heavy wooden pillars being placed in " the middle of North Tenth street from North E to Main street. The pillars will be decorated with yellow and white bunting and on top of each will be a large bunch of incandescent lights. Chains of lights will be strung between the poles. As last year, lights will be strung between the trolley poles on Main street, but there will be no arc lights on top. The use of Incandescent light it is believed will be more pleasing in effect. American flags will be used extensixely. Fred Schornstein, chairman of the decorating committee received a telegram from the American Decorating Company of Chicago this morning asking that the committee hold its contract until the Chicago firm has a chance to submit its plan. The tele gram stated that it could furnish more decorating for less money. A special meeting of the committee will be held next Friday night to hear this propo sition. ST. LOUIS IS TO BE EAGLES MECCA Annual Convention of the Or der Will Be Held There Next Month. THOUSANDS WILL ATTEND ORDER HAS HAD A REMARKABLE GROWTH AND IS NOW. ONE OF THE 8TRONQEST FRATERNITIES IN THE U. 8. '-."' (Palladium Special) . St. Louis, July 23. Arrangements are completed for the twelfth annual convention of the Fraternal Order of Eagles, which opens in this city on August 22, and continues four days. The holding of this convention in the middle west means that in addition to the two thousand delegates in attend ance, ten thousand Eagles from the cities of the Mississippi valley wl! take part in the social festivities. The .Fraternal Order of Eagles has had a remarkable growth. Founded in Seattle twelve years ago, during the past five years in particular it ha3 forged to the front as one of the act ive brotherhoods of the valley and the Pacific coast. Today - there are nineteen hundred subordinate aeries located throughout the United States and Canada, and the total membership exceeds three hundred thousand. Dur ing the past ten years the subordin ate bodies have lnvestetd six million dollars in fraternal temples and club rooms. Six millions have been dig bursed to members as sick benefits during this period; and over one mil lion has been paid in funeral benefits. This places the Fraternal Order of Eagles among the first of those organizations which combine benefit fea tures with social good fellowship. The leaders of this order realize that the time has arrived to map out and enforce definite, larger policies for the government of the national and subordinate bodies. This implies that apart from the social entertainment arranged by the St. Louis brethren, the coming convention will be one of the most important in the history of the order. The convention will bring together a large number of men who have achieved prominence in civic and business fields. Frank E. Hering, former candidate for lieutenant governor of Indiana, will call the convention to order as grand worthy president; Theodore E. Bell of San Francisco, who is mentioned as a possible United States senator from California, will head the delegation from the far west; Senator Thomas "F. Grady, who succeeds to the presidency of the order this year, and Past President Bernard J. Monaghan of Philadelphia, will be leading figures from the east WOH'T PICNIC HERE Notice has been received here that the Stoddard-Day ton Motor Car Company will hold its annual picnic at Cedar Point, O., instead of in Glen Miller park.

(Palladium Special) Washington. July. 23 Beginning on August 8 Camp Perry, Ohio, will be the center of Interest for all Americaa riflemen. Commencing that. day an-I for eighteen days thereafter there will be shot the greatest series of rifle and revolver matches " ever" held in this country: Three organizations combine their matches to make the meeting a great success. They are the Nations! Board, for Promotion of Rifle Practice, the .National Rifle Association of America, and the Ohio State Rifle Association. The state of Ohio supplies the range and the government gives f large sum of money for prizes in tin national match, and a large number o gold, silver and bronze medals am' also furnishes the officers and men tr run off the national board and natlor el rifle association matches.

Commenting on the ' poor perform-! ance of the American colt Sir Martin j In the Gold cup at Ascot, where be finished nowhere, tbe English critic say again Miat Yankee racers bare great speed, but can't stay. Sir Martin's rating last year was a most peculiar one. in tbe Derby he fell Just before reaching Tattenbam corner and not only put himself out of tbe running, but it has been thought ever since that be actually prevented William IV. from winning. How much there is in tbe theory cannot now be determined, but It is a fact that William IV. was interfered with by Sir Martin, and yet be finished in third place, only half a length away from Minora, tbe winner. The subsequent running of Sir Martin as a three-year-old gave ground for a calculation that he should have, beaten everything in the Derby except Bayardo. In last year's Cambridgeshire Sir Martin ran a fine race when, having tbe worst of tbe weight by long odds, be was third to Christmas Daisy and Mustapba. As tbe race came off in very heavy ground it was probably not to' bis liking or be might have done better. The day following, when the ground had dried up and was much better for going, tbe American colt put up a record performance in the Durham handicap. He won with the top weight but was not seen in public again un til he won tbe Coronation cup at Epsom. This event was - over the mile and a half course, and Sir Martin put up a capital performance. Commenting upon the quality of American horses. Vigilant in the Sportsman says: - "It Is remarkable, , however, that horses bred in America have generally been distinguished for speed rather than stamina, though there hare been notable exceptions."
