In Rules.

At a meeting of the North Adams
Base Ball Association Thursday even
ing It was voted to take the long dis
cussed step toward changing the by

the case.

ming. quorum will consist of a ma
iority Of shares. either present or by

CHICAGO LOST $500, 900
Sum Doesn't Include Small Wauers
That win Never Be Known


Chicago, Oct. 25.-That more than
100000 was lost in Chicago on the
worlds series as the result OF the
series was announced at the Board OF
Trade. Il is believed twice or three
times that amount changed hands In
small bets, which never will be heard
OF
The series broke all records for
coin and crowds. Had the series
gone the full seven games all records
would have been shattered. Atten.
dance figures show that 124,222 per-
sons saw the first five games and the
receipts were si73.5S0. Had Il not
been for the miserable showing made
by the Cubs. there would have been
greater box Office showing.
Both Manager Chance and Manager
Mack issued statements. Chance de-
clared that the defeat was n fair one
and admitted. although reluctantly.
that the Philadelphia team was the
better.
Following the game yesterday the
Philadelphia team started for home
and will reach there some time this
morning. A big reception is awaiting
them there. They received big

RELIEF PARTY TO
Be SENT AFTER
LOST BALLOON
Organized Efforts to Locate
Hawley and Post.
NO CLUE OF ANY KIND AS YET
Full Week Has Elapsed Since
America II. Sailed Away from
st. Louis.

Ottawa, Ontario, Oct. 25.--An or
ganized effort to locate Allan Hawley
and Augustus Post, crew Of the miss
Ing bal DON America H., began here
last night with the arrival Of Edmond
F. Stratton of New York, member
of the Aero Club of America, who at
once opened bureau to conduct in
quiries throughout Eastern Canada,
In some part of which the America
II. Is believed to have taken ground.
II propose to conduct as comprehen-
sive and as thorough an inquiry as
can be expeditiously made" said Mr..
Stratton, "and as soon as the drift OF
the America H. is ascertained, will
send out a well-equipped search and
relief party from the nearest avail
able point. Other expeditions for a
more extensive exploration will then
! be dispatched from several points"
Last night marked the end of a
week since the big balloon faded
from the sight of those who cheered
at st. Louis the departing contestants
in the international bal Don race. No
communication. not even message
dropped from the clouds on the print
ed blanks carried for the purpose, has
been received from the aeronauts dur
ing that time.
Four days ago, at the latest, 1t is
estimated, the gas which buoyed the
balloon in prevailing northeast winds,
must have lost its potency. From
what spot the sky travellers may have
been endeavoring to fight their way
to civilization since that time, or at
what isolated haven, with friendly
Indians, woodsmen, or trappers. they
may be awaiting succor, are problems
now engaging attention Of experts
summoned here by Mr.. Stratton.
The possibility that the missing aer
onauts may have fallen into one of
the great lakes, or even passed be-
yond the province of Quebec to the
Atlantic, and there lost, is realized.
But the strong probability is held to
be that they had landed in one OF two
immense tracts of Canadian wilder
ness. One of these districts lies be-
tween Lake Huron and Hudson Bay
The other comprises a triangle in
Eastern Quebec. thousands of square
miles in extent, formed by the Quebec
and Lake John Railway. the Sague-
nay River, and the st. Lawrence
From the mere edges Of these vast,
traclless wastes three at least OF the
contesting crews reached safety only
after long hours OF intense hardship

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION
Comm arder-ln-chief Of Cuban Army
Was Injured.

was Injured.
Havana. Oct. % The attempted as
sassination Saturday night in front Of
the presidential palace of Major-Gen-
eral Pine Guerra, the commander-in-
chief Of the regular army. has caused
a profound impression and great ex-
element. The general belief is that
the crime was of a political character.
The precise motive, however. is not
clear.
General Guerra is now in the mill
tary hospital at Camp Columbia. His
thigh bone is shattered. but the condi-
ton of the patient is favorable. The
Identity OF his assailant Is still doubt.
full
Immediately after the shooting, the
sentry ut the entrance Of Fuerza cas-.
tie which Is within 800 feet OF the
palace. stopped n man who desired TO
enter, demanding to see General Mon.
teagudo, chief Of the rural guard, OF
which Fuerza is the headquarters.
This man was handed over to the 30.
lice. He proved to be Manuel Fern.
and'z. city natrolman, absent from
duty without leave. He carried n re-
volver. which had not been discharg.
cd. He denied all knowledge OF the
shooting.
On being confronted by General
Guerra and n policeman, who had
been shot while going to the generals
assistance. neither was able to identl
~ him. A pistol. still hot, OF which
four chambers had been discharged
was found in the roadway In front OF
Fuerza castle, and is believed to have
been thrown away by the prisoner
One theory concerning the crime Is
that the assailant Of General Guerra
mistook him for General Riva, chief
OF police. against whom the man now
under arrest had n grudge.
