benefit OF the natives how umpres nan
die ball games and unruly players IN this
country.
In Cuba Evans saw what he termed was
the grandest exhibition OF pitching he
ever witnessed. Speaking about the mat
ter. he said:
Jack COMBS, without a question,
showed 10 me more than had ever seen
any pitcher do before The Athletics fol-
lowed the Tigers In Cuba. COMBS pitch
cd the first game. Mind you, the Ath-
letics had not handled a bah in two
months. Coombs was feeling as strong
as a blacksmith. His recently acquired
bride was in the grand stand. She had
never seen him pitch before, and he was
anxious 20 make good impression.
He did. He had everything. Speed,
all Of that vast assortment Of mystifying
curves and fine Judgment, considering the
fact that he had never seen the Cuban
players before. But that was not his best
performance. After the game he said to

TOLSTOl SAID TO HAVE
DIFFERENCES WITH WIFE
Count Objected to High Rents and
CommerciaIiSm

ST PETERSBURG, Nov. 13.-The
whereabouts of Count Tolstoi, who dis
appeared few days ago, is not yet
certain, though inquiries have been
made in various quarters and reports
have reached here regarding his abid-
ing place.
A Moscow dispatch says Count Toll
stoi is now at the Shamardinsky wom-
en's-monastery, Kaiuga province.
Confirmation of this however, is
lacking, and queries sent there are un-
answered.
The ST. Petersburg Zeitung publishes
a statement from an intimate friend
of the Tolstoi family that the counts
decision to seek solitude was compelled
by a disagreement between the peas
ants on his Yasnaya Poliana estate,
and Countess Tolstoi, and her second
son, to whom the count had decided his
estate.
The countess had recently introduced
high land rent, had secured labor and
had followed the ordinary commercial
methods to raise revenue.
Count Tolstoi was severely tried by
this procedure and was often driven
to tears as he observed the increase
of poverty and beggary In villages
which had formerly been well-to-do.
He was further aggravated by dis
putes which arose over his refusal
to copyright an unpublished novel for
which he had been offered a large sum.

CHARGE FOOTBALL
MAN NW|THMURDER
Warrant Is Issued for Player Ac-
cused of Killing 0ppo-
nent in Game

WHEELING, w. va, Nov. ia
warrant charging Thomas Mccoy, right
end of the Bethany college football
team, with murder in connection with
the death of Capt. Rudolph Munk, of
the West Virginia team, was issued
here today by Magistrate r. C. Hobbs.
The action followed a partial inquest
by Coroner w. w. Rogers.
Munk sustained injuries in the game
between the two teams Saturday, and
died five hours later without regain
ing consciousness. The testimony was
furnished principally by Homer N.
Young, Pittsburg attorney, who UNI
pired the game.
Young testified that Munk was max
ing interference and was few yards
in front of the scrimmage line when
Mccoy came up to him, striking him
on the head. Munk fell to the ground
unconscious and Young ordered Mccoy
from the game.
The autopsy disclosed that Munk's s
death was caused by a blood clot at
the base of his brain, and could not
have been the result of former in
jury.
Mccoy lives at Canton. Ohio. The
warrant for his arrest will be served
tomorrow.
In giving details of the way in which
Munk was injured, Young said the ball
was on Bethany's thirty-yard line
when Munk started down the field for
interference.
HE was near the player with the
ball." Young said. "Munk was met by
Mccoy, who ran toward Munk as they
both were running down the field Ten
yards behind the scrimmage line, when
Munk was in front, Mccoy struck him
on the back of his head with his fist.
Both Munk and Mccoy fell, but the
latter quickly regained his feet, looked
at Munk and started off the field.'
Umpire Young said that as the blow
appeared to him clearly Intentional, he
Immediately put Mccoy out of the
game.
No other witnesses were heard to-
day, but several players have been
summoned for tomorrow when the in
quest will be resumed. The warrant
for McCoys arrest has been placed in
the hands of an officer. Mccoy left
college this fall without notifying the
faculty and had not played on the team
for two weeks. President Cramblett,
of Bethany college, said tonight he was
unaware that Mccoy was to play in
Saturdays game.
1t was announced tonight. all re-
naming games scheduled by West Vir-
ginia university will be cancelled, in

MEXICO CITY, Nov. 13.-Sunday, to
which both the authorities and Amer
lean citizens looked forward with
more or less uneasiness, passed with
out renewal of the demonstrations of
the last few days, and the feeling that
the end of the trouble had come
seemed general.
There was no relaxation of vigilance
by the authorities, and today and to-
night strong patrols of police were on
guard in the business district and IN
the American residence section.
Dispatches from Guadalajara today
reported no violence last night. A
proclamation that any gathering OF
five or more persons would be dis
persed by the police had a quieting
effect on the students and the vicious
element. and no disturbance was at
tempted.
Federal and state cavalry patrolled

SENATORS WILL ATTEND
FUNERAL OF COLLEAGUE
News of CIay's Death Transmit
ted to Vice President Sherman

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13-News of
the death of Senator Alexander S.
Clay was received tonight by Colonel
Daniel S. Ransdell sergeant-at-arms
of the senate. Colonel Ransdell in
formed Vice President Sherman, who
will name a committee of senators to-
morrow to attend the funeral.
Speaker Cannon also will appoint a
committee from the house.
Senator Clay had been in i'll health
for some time. In the last session of
congress he remained away from the
senate on several occasions although
he refused to leave the floor until
forced to do so.
The senator was chairman of the
committee on woman suffrage and a
member of seven other committees,
including appropriations and postof-
fees. Strongly partisan, he never
peritted an opportunity to make party
capital Ito influence his action as a
committeeman or a senator. He de-
cided all questions of administration
on their merit and sought party adj
vantage on the broader field of prin-
ciple.
A frequent participator in debates.
Senator Clay was known as an eff
fective speaker. He indulged in no
witticisms and the preparation of a
Joke was foreign to his nature. Even
though i'll much of the time of the
later years of his service in the sem
ate, he was never known to lose tenn
per or be discourteous.
Much of his attention was given to
economic questions. such as the tariff
and railroad legislation He believed
in the simple life and he never tired
of preaching economy in the conduct
of the nations affairs. If he was pes
simlstic in anything, it was in regard
to what he believed to be the ex-
travagant tendency of the age, and he
often inveighed against these tenden-
cies in governmental business.
