JACK O'CONNOR WILL
SUCCEED JIMMY McALEER.

New York, Sept. 12.-When the ST.
Louis Browns next appear in the East,
on Sept. Is, they will be managed by
Jack OConnOr, who was a Highlander
for a short time, and who has been as
ISOLATED with big league clubs for
many seasons. O'Connor, at present
scout for the Browns, will be Jim
MCAleer's successor as manager of the
Hedges outfit, and will be in command
of the Brownies OH their next trip to
this part of the country. O'Connor is
a st. Louis boy. and has been a big
Lacquer pretty much all the time since
1887. The year before that he caught
Charley ("Silvcr') King in st. Joe. He
then joined Cincinnati. and afterward
was with Cincinnati again, the Cleve-
land and Pttsburg Clubs of the Ma
tional League, the New York and ST.
Louis Clubs of the American League,
and the Columbus team Of the Amerf-
can Association. In 1891 OConnor had
a row with the owners of the Column
bus Club, the result of which was that
re was in the old Western League for
three months. Last year OConnor
acted as assistant manager of the
Browns, and this year he was the pilot
of the Little Rock team of the South
ern League. O'ConnOr was one of the
games greatest receivers, is chock full
of baseball knowledge, and if any one
is able to pull the Browns out of the
rut they now are in he seems to be
the person. O'Connor will have the
support of the St. Louis newspapers
| that was denied to McAleer, as "Sun-
ny Jim" was an Importation and Jack
| is home product.

FIRE LOSSES IN AMERICA.
Remedy Lies in Better Construction
and Greater Care.

The average annual fire waste of the
United States for the five years ending
with 1907 was S252, zoo, 900, and the losses
for the year 1908, beginning with s24,-
600, 900 in January, and steadily increas-
ing, aggregate over 5000, 0O0, 900. Although
there were but seven fires during the
year just ended where the losses were
$1.O0O.OO0 or more, the aggregate loss
equals that of the year of the great
Baltimore conflagration.
What if we were to lose a quarter
of billion dollars every year in wheat,
or cotton, or beef? What if such a val
ue in shipping should sink in New York
harbor1 What if the national Treasury
should be looted annually of that
amount or business failures approx
mate it?
The San Francisco calamity forced
several insurance companies out of
business. In the last fifty years one
thousand insurance companies in the
United States, or more than three times
the number of existing companies, have
been forced to withdraw. In the last
ten-year period the insurance business
suffered an underwriting loss of Az
per cent, or over $S6,0OO,O00. Who will
continue to supply responsible capital
Indefinitely for the national ash heap?
The average American in his reckless
indiVidualism has assumed no repon-
sibllity for the fire waste, leaving it
to the Insurance companies to refill
their purses by increased rates.
State legislatures have made frequent
effortst to prevent the advance in in
NV rio 1nc icla ti
actments, but legislation cannot pre-
vent rates being sufficient to pay losses
without seriously reducing the ability
of their constituents to obtain neces-
sary insurance. Any legislation which
will reduce the annual fire loss will,
at the same time, reduce the average
insurance rate.
The declaration of experts that over
so per cent of the present fire waste
of the country is from easily prevent
able causes Indicates that the entire
nation might we'll be taught lessons in
individual responsibility Correction
OF careless habits is certainly possible
In both grownups and children. Many
OF our national sins can, however,
only be corrected by collective action.
1t is too much to expect that our
people. in their impetuous haste and
rush, will, in the very near future
cease to erect the infammable shells
they now put up and fill with equally
lnftammable contents. We differ from
Europeans.in solidity of character; and
our character is reflected in our archi-
lecture; but we can at least make re-
asonable laws to protect US from the
carelessness of one another without go
ing to the event of the French statutes.

DOTNGS IN THE WORLD OF SPORTS
JIM INQUIRIES RECORD
BEATS CATCHER GlBSON'S.

Detroit, Sept. 12.-Before the teams took
the field Saturday Manager Mcclure of
the Maps delivered a few remarks rela-
tive to the claim that Catcher Gibson
of Pittsburg had set a worlds record by
catching liz consecutive games of ball in
the National League.
Far be it from veteran like me to
try to take any credit from a nice young
fellow like Gibson" quoth Jim, but a
reference to the National League records
of 1895 will disclose the fact that in that
year 1 caught 1873 games for the Wash
irgton club, which was all there were on
the schedule, so the games were neces-
sariy consecutive.
Gibson deserves plenty of credit for his
performance. I'm not even disposed to
try to belittle the great performance of
Chief thinner, who once caught Ill games
in a row. But l do feel that, so long as
I'm connected with the game in some
style or other, they ought not to try to
make any new records, just to obscure
one that cost me considerable effort, and
OF which I have always been pardonably
proud"

three worlds records at the State Fair

miles in 23S As, again lowering the record
