MONDAY, AUGUST 15, 1910. LEADS THE BUNCH J BIGGEST AUTO RACE OF TIE YEAR What do yon think of it? Here's a green, rank outsider coming in and nosing the champion binglers out of first place in the greatest automobile race ever pulled off. There's something besides glory in being the champ hitter in major league base ball this year—a big touring car is the prize that the best batter will receive no a silver platter. And it looked like Ty Cobb and Nap Lajole would have the race all to themselves. Nobody in the National league seemed to have a stand-in. And then Larry slumped and the swatting Tiger began to sulk, while recruit Snodgrass of the New York Nationals began hustling to the front like a real auto racer. Snodgrass is so near the .400 mark that Larry and Ty get cold chills every time they think about that auto that they ought to win. "Snod" was picked up from a Los Angeles college team last season. He used to be a catcher, but Mugg sy figured it out that a man who could rap the ball on the nose at such frequent intervals ought to SPEAKERS DID NOT Good Government League Rally a Grand Success —Candidates Fully 1200 people, among them a good sprinkling of candidates, at tended the good government rally Saturday afternoon at Manito park, under the auspices of the farmers' club and organized labor.

A \ (By United Press Leased Wire) BALTIMORE, Md., Aug. i:>.—The death of Edith .May Woodill in the scduded bungalow of "l.anie Bob" Eastman, at St. Michaels. Md.. and the murders of Mrs. Mary Scott Castle Charlton of Lake Como. Italy, are linked together today by the Baltimore Sun. The Sun suggests the possibility that Mrs. Charlton was tlie woman referred to in Eastman's letters as having killed Mrs. Woodill with a champagne bottle. It is stated tha* the residents of Talbot county. Maryland, recognized pictures of Charlton and his wife as those of the couple seen with Has!man be fore Mrs. Woodill was murdered. "Persons professing to have seen the party at the bungalow say that the pictures published of Chari ton s wife and of Porter Charlton were those of the man and woman seen at Eastman's bungalow," says the Sun. Charlton worked for the National City bank here in June, l»©». The Sun continues: it is possible that he may have levt here and gone to St. Michaels, where he met his future wife. Charlton visited St. Michaels four or five times and liked the place.*' The bank records show that Charlton was not absent from duty any business day in June, liMMh Mrs. Woodill was murdered June 21, Eastman shot and killed him self shortly afterward while being pursued by deputy sheriffs The Sun recounts tlie riotous scenes at the bungalow as de scribed by neighbors, and refers to the temper of Mrs. Charlton and the fact that she drank heavily. The coroner's Jury returned a verdict that an unknown person killed Mrs. Woodill, ignoring cir cumstanclal evidence that indicat ed thai Eastman was the slayer. Many people still believe Eastman wis Innocent of the woman's death and attribute his suicide to tbe fact that be was a fugitive I from justice. W.M.I.ACK.
