Jack Ness. Jack Ness' wonderful work with the stick has braced the Oakland bunch up during the last few weeks. They were tottering and slipping and they could not muster up enough of the old red fire stuff to get them by. Ness, however, kept on hitting, and the more frequently he hit the harder his teammates labored to help the worthy cause along. Now the club in in line to do a lot of good for itself. GREENSFORK TO PLAY r - ri r . -t - - r-. ri t r j t i of, T"1 . . Greensfork team plays Lewisville here next Sunday. This team defeated the locals earlier in the season and a hot contest is expected. ASK FOR GAMES The Weidemanns of Cincinnati, and the Fort Wayne printers have written to Richmond asking for games with the first team of this place. Richmond has a schedule practically completed for a series of games with New Castle and Connersville. This situation, together with the indefnite weather, may make it impossible for a game to be arranged. FUGITIVES OF DAYTON ARE SOUGHT IN CITY Diligent search was made by the police department, last night and today for two colored men wanted at Dayton lor shooting two patrolmen and for holding up a pedestrian. Each of the Dayton officers were shot in the left arm above the elbow. Immediately after the shooting, which occurred near the Union station shortly after midnight, the local police were notified to keep a sharp watch for the men, who were believed to have started in this dirctioji. They were described as being about 20 years of age and about 5 feet tall. The shooting was attributed by William Minor, colored, to his brother Jack Minor and an unknown companion. CHASE FUGITIVE OVER TWO MILES ROCKPORT, Ind., July 23. After a two-mile chase by Evansville detectives a man alleged to be an escaped convict and safe blower is in the county jail here today. The detectives declare the man is John Hays, who escaped from the Kentucky state prison six months ago while serving a term for murder, and afterwards wrecked the safe of the Wallace Milling company at Dale. The prisoner says he is I. R. Irwin of Greenville, Ky. VOTES WAR LOAN MELBOURNE, July 23. The house of representatives today passed the measure providing for a $100,000,000 z- loan.

THE DAELYe

SPORT r&tfJlRANl lU?t NEW YORK, July 23. The thrill seems to have been removed from the National league race through the recent widely quoted remark of Johnny levers that "They ordered a close race to bring out the crowds." Of course, Johnny later repudiated his ball field remark, explaining that it was made during an exciting combat when a fellow isn't always responsible for what he says. But somehow or other, despite Evers backdown, some of the public can't quite get. rid of the idea that something is a bit odd about the National league. Never in the modern history of baseball have the teams whirled along toward the month of August so closely bunched that a mere matter of eight games or so separated the first and last, place outfits. Those who believe firmly and unalterably in the honesty of baseball have no suspicions. They believe the teams are bunched, with the so-called weaker one leading the so-called class teams simply because the weaker clubs are outplaying the stronger. But there is another class of fans and that class is suspicious. It felt that its suspicions were strengthened when it read what Evers said, and even though Evers later denied hi3 own remarks, the class in question is not prone to believe the denial. It is really too bad for baseball that Evers made that foolish remark. It has hurt baseball more than anything

KNICKERBOCKER DISCOURSES ON GOTHAmVORRY Potash and Perlmutter Settle All Differences With Employes in Garment Making Industry.

NEW "CON DEVICE Swindler Dressed as Fireman Sells Jobs as City Brass Polishers to Innocent Country Visitors. NEW YORK, July 23. Messrs. Potash and Perlmutter (and their loather competitors) have just come to an agreement with their employes and a million dollars a week in productive industry has been saved . to this city. The "cloak and suit" and allied trades are a whole world' in themselves. Instead of the old-time sweatshops, they are now housed in a broad belt of skyscrapers which sweeps along lower Broadway and up Fifth and Sixth Avenues almost to Fortysecond street. Here the nation is clothed. More than a million dollers' worth of finished goods come from the busy fingers and the whirling electric-driven sewing machines every working day. There are 30,000 coat makerswho draw $12 a week, 10,000 "pants" "makers, who get $9 per week, 16,000 children's garment workers whose average wage is $16, 8,000 vest makers with $15 in the yellow envelope, and 3,000 cutters receiving $18 for six days' time. NEW YORK'S LATEST. New York always has a new game. Here's the latest. An affable man in a fireman's uniform, giving assurance of prosperity by a twenty dollar gold piece worn as a fob on his gold watch chain, takes a "new one" just arrived in town to the open door ot a fire house. He points to the shining brass poles down which the fire-fighters slide from their dormitory above and to the dazzling metal ornaments of the motor 'fire engines and water-towers. Polishing these is easy work, short hours, benevolent Pa Knick as em ployer. Perhaps, some day, the polish er may become a fireman. Charmed by the brassy glitter, with the voice of the soothing and pleasant stranger in his ears the greenhorn parts with a certain amount of money for "expenses." The inventor of this ingenious new game is now behind the bars with six would-be city brass polishers ready to tell their stories in court. SLOGAN MUST GO. "Watch your step" must go. That institution which adds the spice of the glacial crevasses to travel on the subway and has enriched the English tongue is doomed. When the subway cars stop on a curve there is a goodly space between the platform of the station and the car. Down this it is possible to fall and then to be properly mangled if your shrieks don't prevent the train from starting. The guard warns you of peril by crying "watch your step." Now all this is to be changed. An ingenious little contrivance will cause a sliding addition to the stated platform to shoot out and bridge the space to the car when the train stops, and the starting of the train will automatically cause this addition to return to its recess. Thus passes the picturesque. POLICE PERMITS NEXT. Semaphore signals painted red are now being used to change the direction of traffic across street intersections of Fifth avenue. Soon travel will be so heavy that it will be necessary as in Belgium under Gen. Von Bissing, to get a police permit to drive through New .York and all vehicles will move on a time table. Owing to the great scarcity of men in Gravesend, England, the corporation tramways are now employing boys as conductors. BUDGE' has hurt it in many years, and it has cooled the fever of many of the fans who were getting all "het up" about the closeness of the National league battle. WARHOP IS LUCKY. A newspaper chap recently wrote a i lengthy article pointing out that Jack ! Warhop, the Yankee pitcher, was the i "unluckiest pitcher in the American League." After perusing Warhop's record, it seems to us that Warhop I is one of the luckiest blokes that ever busted into big league baseball. Warhop joined the Yanks in 1909. He is still a member of the team, and is drawing a fancy salary. For six years he has gathered in a harvest of dollars from the Yankee coffers. And this is what he has done to earn it: In the six years' stretch from 1909 to 1914, inclusive, he worked in 196 games. Of this number he lost 80 and won 61, an average of about ten victories a season. His pitching aver age for those six years has been only .459. Never in six years has his average gone over the .500 mark. Warhop, during these six years has batted for a grand average of .168. His-best batting percentage was .207, made in 1912. Warhop has fielded for a grand average of .864 during those six years probably one of the worst records ever turnedin by a pitcher. Warhop unlucky, eh? Seems to us that he's one of those horse-shoe persons.

SCOUTING BETWEEN THE LINES I H31 LSI c 5 H il UNDER THE GLARE OF BOMB FLARES

BY FREDERICK PALMER. BRITISH HEADQUARTERS, France July 23. Night is always the time in the trenches when life grows more interesting and death more likely. "It's dark enough now," said the young officer who was my host. "We'll go out with the patrol. By day the slightest movement of the enemy is easily and instantly de tected ; the light keeps the combatants to the warrens, which protect them from shell and buttel fire. At night there is no telling what miscief the enemy may be up to. At night you mustdepend upon the ear rather than the eye for . watching. Then the human soldier fox comes out of his warren and sneaks forth on the lookout for prey. At night both sides are on the prowl. '- "Trained owls would be the most valuable scouts we could. have," said the young officer. "They would be more useful than aeroplanes in locating the enemy's gun positions. A properly reliable owl would come, back and say a German patrol was out in the wheat field at such a point, and we would wipe out that German patrol with a machine gun." Scout in Pairs. Those young officers who fill the gaps left by the old do not leave their fancy behind when they, enter the trenches. We turned into a side trench an alley off the main street, leading out of the front trench toward the Germans. "Anybody out?"he asked a soldier who was on guard at the end of it. "Yes, two." Of course, there were two any how. All prowling is done in pairs at least. One man can help his comrade if he ! is wounded, or bring back the news ifj he is dead. i It is the business of every man on j guard to know where the patrol goes, so as not to fire in that direction, i Some times a patrol hears a fussilade j from both sides sweeping past him. ' "Follow me." j In the Entanglements. i We climbed out of the ditch and i stooped low. We were in the midst of a tangle of barbed wire protecting teh trench front, which was faintlyvisible in the starlight. There was a break in the tangle, a narrow cut in the hedge, as it were, kept open for just such purpose as this. When the patrol returned it closed the gate again. Look out for that wire just there. Do you see it?" "Everything to keep the Bochos off our front lawn except keen off-the-grass signs." It was utterly still a warm summer's night without a catspaw of breeze stirring. Through the dark curtain of the sky in a parabola ris - ing from the German trenshes swept a brilliant sputter of red light one of the flares which the Germans used by the millions to assist them in their night watches. Machine guns, mortars, bombs, flares and guns of all calibres the Germans keep every thing in their locker in mechanical appliances which will economize numan force. This was coming as straight! toward us as if it had been aimed at ; j ' us. 1 cast a searcning, uut-duuj glare over the tall wheat in head be- j tween the trenches. "Get down," whispered the officer. Take No Chances. It seemed sort of foolish to grovel before a piece of fireworks. There was no firing in our neighborhood, nothing to indicate a state of war between the British empire and Germany, no visual evidence of any Germany any where in France except that flare. However, if a guide who knows as much about war as this one knew says to get down when you are out between two lines of machine guns and rifles between the fighting powers of England and Germany you take the hint. The flare sank into the earth a few yards away after a last insiiting, ugly fling or red light in our faces. "What is we had been seen?" "They'd have combed the wheat in this neighborhood thoroughly and they might have got us." "It's hard to believe," I suggested. So it was, he agreed. That was the exasperating thing about it. Always hard to believe, perhaps until after all the cries of the wolf, the wolf came until nineteen harmless flares the twentieth revealed to the watching enemy the figure of a man above the wheat, when a dozen rifles and perhaps a machine gun suddenly broke the silence of night by concentrating on a target. . Why Care is Used. Then there might be another name on the British casualty list, which meant an able bodied officer or soldier whom his country had trained was transferred from the asset to the liability column of the ledger- Keeping cover from German flares is a part of the minute, painstaking economy of war. We crawled on slowly through the wheat, taking care to make no noise till we brough up behind two soldiers lying flat on the earth with their rifles in hand ready to fire instantly. It was their business not only to see the enemy first, but to shoot first and to capture or kill any German patrol. The officer spoke to; them: thev answered. It was unnec essary for them to say that they had not seen anything. If they had we should have known it. He was out there less to scout himself than to make sure that they were on the job, that they knew how to watch. The visit was a part of his routine. Afraid to Whisper. As we were on business, we did not even whisper. Preferably all the whispering would be done by any German patrol out to have a look at our barbed wire and that would give the Germans away. Silence and the starlight and the dew-moist wheat; but yes, there was war. You heard gun fire half a mile, ! perhaps a mile away, and raising your j bead you saw the auroras of light j from bursting shells. At intervals, as i if set by clockwork with Teutonic system, flares rose from the German trenches. "Well, shall we go back?" asked the officer. . There seemed no particular purpose

in spending the night flat on the earth looking into a well of wheat, with your ears cocked like a pointer dog. Besides, be had other duties to attend to, this pleasant, alert young officer, who had left home to fight and die for England, exacting duties laid down by the colonel as the result of trench experience in his. responsibility -for the command of a company of men.

MITCHELL MENTIONED FOR COUNSELLOR JOB WASHINGTON, July 23. Reports were current today that former Representative A. Mitchell Palmer of Pennsylvania has practically been selected for the post of counsellor of the state department. They have not yet been confirmed. Mr. Palmer it is said, has decided not to accept a judgeship in the court of claims. JOY RIDE ENDS WITH DISASTER NEY YORK, July 23. Miss Rebecca Kemmelmen, was killed in an automobile joy ride early today. The car, operated by Seymur Felix, crashed into a large sign post on Pelham Parkway.

Mysterious Stranger Plunges Mystery in Deeper Darkness Only One Clue. It used to be that manufacturers of more or less mysterious foods didn't like to have you ask "What's it made of?" But here's one manufacturer who not only asks you to test his product and see what makes it taste better, but who actually offers a prize to the man who discovers what really does make it a better product than the ordinary. He manufactures Sterling Gum. Probably you have seen the advertising which this aggressive manufacturer will be running in the columns of The Palladium. You remember the seventh point of superiority is always given as "WThat?" And now comes a new angle of this riddle to puzzle our local sleuths still further. , Did You See "Old 7"? Promptly at 9 o'clock yesterday morning a red-cloaked, red-hooded figure walked down Main street. On his chest was a large white "7," some thing on the order of an automobile license and head-light combined. That was Old i, and if you saw him vou probably received a red envelope containing a sample stick of Sterling Gum, such as is on sale by most of the confectionery stores in town now. Adv. SAM S.

FEAR ATTACKS ON REMINGTON PLANT

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, July 23 Belief that damage will be attempted against the Remington U. M. C. plant brought several detectives and confidential agents here today. It is conservatively estimated that more than two hundred of them are now working in the city. This is in addition to seven hundred guards at the Remington works, and more will be added before night. War on every machine shop in New England will be declared by Monday. Where the union officials can not get recognition they will not fight for it, but where they can get eight hours a day and an increase in wages they will be satisfied if faith in the company is believed to be good. President Samuel Gompers of the American Federation of Labor and other labor officials arrived here this morning. Gompers would make no statement, and at once went into conference with local and other officials. SISTER ATTACKED Walter Fletcher of this city, is said in a newspaper dispatch to be a brother of Mrs. Orville Baker, of Middletown, who is said to have been attacked by two strange men during her husband's absence. She was found gagged in the chicken yard. MULE OVERTURNS AUTO. ATTICA, Ind., July 23 Rev. H. W. Haynes of this city, and four others had a unique experience recently when he drew his auto to the side of a roadway to permit a farmer's team of mules to pass. One of the mules, in "a la Maude" fashion, kicked the car over the embankment. "No one was injured. INSPECTS SCHOOL. Building Inspector Hodgin today inspected the wiring in the new school building in process of construction on College Hill.

PESKY BE

Doctors declare that bedbugs and other vermin are .the most to be feared means of spreading such diseases as consumption, spinal meningitis and o.her infectious troubles.

I'M VERDA INDIANS IN FEAR OF PHONES IN NATIONAL PARK

DENVER, July 23. The Indians living near the celebrated Mesa Verde in southwestern Colorado are interested in the outcome of their predictions about the telephone line which the government has Just completed into the Mesa Verde National park. They declare that the poles won't 6tand and that the wires won't talk. When asked why, they solemnly reply that the "little people" will permit no such uncanny things to come so near their ancient homes. Nor can they be persuaded to the contrary. The white men will see for themselves, pretty soon. The Indians live in great awe of the prehistoric dwellings of the Mancos valley, which are, by far, the finest and best preserved of any in the American southwest They will not believe that it was Pueblo Indians, or any Indians in fact, who so long ago that the oldest traditions describe them, as they now are, carved these wonderful cities out of the cliffs. They believe that spirits built the cliff dwellings, and that spirits still Inhabit them. They reverently call these spirts the "little people." For this reason it is difficult to Induce Indians to approach the cliff dwellings. Whether or not the continued success of the government telephone line will shake their superstitious faith remains to be seen. ALLIES ADVANCE MITYLENE (Via Athens). July 23.
