Throughout the fight Eddie Jansen

GOOD ADVERTISING
Comes from Baseball. Says Toronto
Ball Magnate.

Baseball as an Advertisement Prop
osition." was the subject of an infor-
NAL talk by President Mccartney the
other day. says the Toronto News.
Here's the way I dope it. There are
eight cities in the Eastern League. with
an average population of 100000. and
there is an average of eight newspa-
pers in each city. Now. every time To-
ronto plays ball these 81 newspapers
publish long accounts of the game. In
addition. each newspaper has bulle-
tin board. and you can figure out how
many additional people hear about To-
ronto through this source. But this
isn't all Practically all the papers in
every big city in the United States out
side of the league circuit mention the
Eastern League scores daily. while all
the leading Canadian papers also de
vote considerable space to the record
of the Toronto club during tine season.
Now you try to figure out how MANY
people in this way hear Of Toronto ev-
cry day and you'll find the estimate
runs away up into the millions. AS an
advertisement proposition this baseball
scheme has them all beaten to a fraz-
gle. Thousands of Americans would
never know there was such a place as
Toronto on the map If it were not for
the ball team

three little children into the waters of Long

The tragedy was discovered just before the
arrival of the Plymouth at Newport yesterday
morning. 1t is believed that Mrs Waters was
suffering from fit of temporary insanity None
of the bodies have yet been recovered All
steamships plying along the Sound have been
instructed to look out for them
Mrs. Waters was the daughter of Captafn
James Brady. Collector of Customs at Fall
River. With her husband and children she came
from Chicago to live in Brooklyn about six
months ago, when Mr. Waters was appointed TO
his present position The home life of the fam
lily at No. 2l9 kingston-ave. seemed ideal. Only
the husband and wife knew of the shadow that
overcast their lives, the dread that the fits of
melancholia from which Mrs. Waters suffered
would develop into insanity. So bad had these
seizures been recently that few weeks ago she
was placed in a sanatorium at ErIstoI r l.
where she stayed several days
Last week Mrs. Waters visited her family in
Fan River. returning to her Brooklyn home on
Saturday. To her father and other relatives
she spoke of trouble at home but little attention
was paid to her. Monday afternoon she care

Then she must have begun her preparations

deck, port side. The children We're undressed
ana, IN all probability. put 10 bed. Mrs. Waters
also removed her outer clothing. Then she
wrote her farewell note TO her husband and
TONS for the disposition OF many of her belong
ings.
One of the porters discovered the door of the
stateroom open early yesterday morning when
the boat was OFF Point Judith. He looked in,
found the occupants missing and the floor lit
ters left by Mrs. Waters. When the boat ar
rived at Newport close watch was kept to
make sure that the woman did not try to steal
off unseen
Meanwhile, Mr. Waters had been frantically
searching for his wife all night long. When
Line agents in this city a messenger was sent
TO break the news TO the hereaved man He
was utterly unnerved by the shock but recoy-
cred somewhat later and went TO Fall River.
