RACE TRACK RIOT
FIGHTING TASTED FOR FOUR
HOURS ON PARIS COURSE.
Hundreds of People Injured, Some
FataIIy-crowds Went Crazy When
Favorite Did Not Win-They Tore

Paris, Oct 15.-The first real riot
Gus demonstration in France since the
riots of May last took place at the
Longchamps race course Sunday and
as a result fighting lasted for over
four hours between the authorities and
a mob of frantic people and more than
one hundred persons were injured,
severally fatally.
There was an enormous crowd at
the race course Sunday when the
racing began. 1t was crowd typical
of Partisan life.
The program comprised six races
and the first two passed OF without
incident. There were nine starters
in the free handicap, the next event,
and four, including the favorite, were
practically left at the post. The favor
lite was not able to get through until
near the finish line, when he came
with a great rush, but did not quite
get up. Most of the crowd thought
the favorite won and when an outsider
was posted as the actual purse gath

judges stand, and were it not for the
fact that the police acted promptly
and surrounded the officials, it is like
ly that some one would have been kill
ed. One man knocked down the jock
ey on the favorite and kicked him in
the head, badly injuring him.
The Infatuated mob then charged
upon the paddock and enclosure and
tore them down, breaking everything
they could.
While doing this gang of the ia,
nous "Guerrillas of Paris" who con.
gregated at the track, made an assault
on the place where the mutuals are
sold, and although the men in charge
tried in every way to protect their
money they failed and the crowd sue

The police on duty could do nothing
to check the mob and they called upon
the firemen to aid them. Although

police, who had been hurriedly sum

They also used their revolvers freely
but fired for the most part over the
heads of the crowd or into the ground
After several hours of fighting the
crowd was eventually dispersed, bu
not until after many heads had beer
broken.
Sixty arrests were made and the
race meeting had to be abandoned

Took First, Third, Fifth and Sixth.

Chicago, Oct. 15.-The Chicago club
of the American Baseball league is the
champion of the world. BY winning
Sundays game to 8 against the local
club of the National league, the Aemri-
cans earned the right to fly the worlds
championship pennant as well as the
remnant of the American league, to
ride to the grounds next season in car
riages and to have Worlds Cham
pions lettered on the blankets worn
by their horses. Sundays game was
the sixth of the series and the fourth
victory for the Americans.
Before 1922 delirious fans the
White Sox rudely jerked Mordecia

in the National league and tossed him

won if he had six fingers on his pitch

went after him, and he joined Taylor,
Lundgren, Reulbach and a few substi-
tutes sitting gloomily on the bench.
Seven runs were assembled by the
White Sox before Mr.. Brown was re-
tired, and in the eighth they grabbed

and when the day was done the Cubs
had gathered but three runs from
seven hits off DR.. White.
The spectacular features of the day
were much the same as those fur
nished by the big west side crowd on
Saturday, although there was no lively
stick work.
Comiskey and Murphy had decided
that they had as much money in the
box Office as they wanted, stopped the
sale of general admission tickets an
hour and a half before the game be-

Germany is beginning to understand

the "Hohenlohe memoirs" The pub
lie was at first surprised at the mon
arch's anger, taking the view that the
work reflected decided credit on him.
The appearance of further details of
Wilhelm's dealings with Bismarck and
especially the quotation of his threat
to imprlson the Iron Chancellor" in
the fortress of Spandau, has wrought
a wonderful change in the trend of
thought Political experts are begin
ming to conjecture that the real pur-
pose Of the publication OF objection
able chapters in the fatherland's in
most history is to undermine the
kaiser's influence and put an end to
the autocracy. On no other ground
can the younger Hohenlohe's action be
explained. The incident may be truly
described as the sensation of the dec.
ade in Germany.
1t has been an open secret in court
circles for some time that the kaiser
is being combated by powerful po-
Iittcal clique. 1t includes a brilliant
array of princes, grand dukes, gen.
erals, admirals and editors, who, work.
ing together, have managed to SOW
the seeds of discomfort in all classes
with wilhelm's methods of govern
ment. 1t is said that the kaiser had
these "pessimists" in. mind when, in
his Breslau speech in September, he
advised them to get out and stay out
of Germany.
