NILES GETS LIFE SENTENCE
Newport Wife Murderer Pleads Guilty
and Goes to Prison.

Newport, Nov. 4.-Orleans county
court convened this afternoon after a
recess of a few days and the first case
to come for trial was that of State VS..
Dwight A. Niles, charged with the
murder of his wife Contrary to all
expectations, Niles entered a plea of
guilty of murder in the second degree
which the State accepted, Judge
Miles then sentenced him to life i'm
prisOnment
This is the first murder case which
has been in this court for many years
and 1t is the saddest. 1t is said that
Niles knows things about the case
which he will not disclose, preferring
to take life sentence.
Sheriff Miles will take the prisoner
to the State prison on the morning train
tomorrow. After the sentencing of
Niles, the court took recess until
Monday, November II. at which time
the Howard case will come up for
trial

IMMENSE SUM FOR
MINOR LEAGUE PLAYERS

CINCINNATI. Ohio. September 13.-Ever
think how much money passes from the
major leagues to the minors every year?
Ever stop to figure what 1t costs the big
leagues to secure the twenty-five or thirty
recruits who make good in fast company
every spring?
President Pulliam of the National League
emerged from the clouds of a 50-cent Per-
fecto long enough to give a few facts con-
corning the purchase and drafting Of play
ers this fall by major league clubs
There are sixteen clubs in the two big
leagues" said President Pulliam land
these clubs have added in the neighborhood
of 200 players to their reserve lists since
they began purchasing men early in Au-
gust. That means an average of more
than a dozen to a team. OF these men it is
not likely that more than thirty will make
good-and the majority of them must be
paid for just the same
while | haven't the exact figures at
hand. l know that more than S2D0,O1p have
been paid by the two big leagues for minor
league players this fall. Those figures will
be greatly increased in cases where second
payments are required and the men 50 pur-
chased make good.
minor league clubs that fail to take in as
much at the gate as they pay out for the
running expenses Many a club has been
saved from financial straits through de-
yelopng player or two who commanded a
good price from SOM major league club.
Base ball is getting bigger in a financial
way every year-and this is the banner
year of all in the matter of money ex-
pended for players by big league clubs"

Yankees. . to O.
Johnson, whom Cantllon kidnapped out
on the Pacific coast. proved himself a real
wonder allowing the Yankees but six hits.
Doc" Newton did even better in the slab
battle. letting the Nationals down with five
hits but two of these were punched TO
one Of the Nationals runs, the other run
being the result Of an error.
1t was a hard game for Newton to lose,
for seldom has he pitched better ball. The
Yankees got well started toward the count
ing station I'm several innings. but they
could not get to Johnson for the hits which
might have won the game.
There was only handful of fans out

JENNINGS LIKED BY
HIS BALL PLAYERS

DETROIT. Mich. September 13.-The way
that Hugh Jennings is esteemed by the
bail tossers is we'll illustrated by the way
he gets the work out of his players. He
is the greatest base ball coach in the
world" says "Ty'' Cobb, who is doubt
less the foremost all-round outfielder in
base ball today. Says Cobb: These papers
say what they want about his shout
ing not helping. 1t does. You can't appre-
ciate it unless you get into the games
Every time g" to the plate and
hear Jennings talking to me l have
newborn confidence. | just know I'm to
hit that ball. His enthusiasm just makes
you feel that way. BY the time the
pitcher winds up thee is not one bit
of nervousness. Hugh!e has taken it away.
The batter is calm and serene and
confident as though he could see the ball
hitting the bat.
Jennings coaching has done as much
our sticks to swell the batting aver
ages. We fellows can't give him too much
credit"
IF you ever get that crowd working
right now you'll be d wonder" was re-
marked to the leader
Hughie shut his fists just he does
now when, in the ninth inning there are
three and two out.
They'll get together" he snapped
'Suspenson?'
"Fines?''
NO.
Well what?"
Those fellows a~e good sensible men,
all of them. l know they on the
level 1 don't believe fines and suspen-
SiOnS cure-all. Such things hurt
more than they help.
I'm going to put every man on that
team on his honor to play ball There
isn't unmanly fellow among them.
They've just had a little misunderstand-
ing"
Jennings pictured to them their chances
He asked them for their cooperation. He
talked to them from the standpoint of one
who has made good. They knew he had
and they listened. Those who had been in
no quarrel told him at the close of the
meeting that they would do all in their
power to bring the others around to the
right way of thinking. But before they
could make any such move the fellows who
had quarreled were around telling Hughie
they had been hOt-headed and were willing
to forget everything and look forward only
to winning games.
II was just that personality of his over
mastering them.
