old Jim Kane nightly, though it must
be said for Jim that he has been play
ing Frank Chance ball right along.
Our other new inf1elder, Scanlon. has
yet to show. He is a big, rangy fell
low, who, in lesser leagues has been
a clouter with the bat and it remains
to be seen whether he will be able TO
crowd either Kneaves or Moore off
the job. So far as Pick is concerned,
1t is our judgment and that of a good

ura1 place is in the outheld. With
his speed. ginger and G. eat arm and

Cleveland does not have him trained

there. It still looks, in spite of this
miserable run of adversely we have
had all along, that this team ought to
finish in first division. The one OBJ
stacie to that is that all the others
are strengthening and playing fast
ball
II Sam Agnew could, by some hook
or crook, learn to hold a thrown ball
long enough to tag a runner out, it
would help to make him a first class
catcher. He and Kneeves have lost
enough games by dropping balls at
such critical times to land the team
away up in first division.

good speed, was enabled to brake hie

feet OF the obstruction. The wire was
strung from barn across the road to
q post and was just high enough to
catch auto drivers In the neck. The
fact that Judge Murray had brilliant
lights burning Is probably the only
thing that saved him from being ter
ribly torn and lacerated.

Montreal. Quebec. Sept 22.-Canada
awakened today confronted by strik-
ing new sensation. developed from the
fact that reciprocity with the United
states has been rejected. that the Lau-
rier government has been defeated
and that r. Borden will shortly be
called upon to form conservative
ministry.
That the changes enacted during
the past twenty -four hours by the
registration OF the will Of the elector-
ate are radical is shown by the over
WIDENING majority whereby the voters
turned down the agreement which
Laurser had made with the United
States for tne mutual removal of duties
on food and other natural products by
the defeat OF seven cabinet ministers
out of thirteen who went to the polls
and by a political landslide which will
retire to private life, Sir wilfred Lau-
rier, acknowledged to be one Of the
biggest figures in the British empire.
Out Of nine Canadian provinces. only
Quebec, Lauriers native place, came
anywhere near remaining faithful to
him and Quebec did not do any too
well.
Ontario, the greatest Of the prov
incea, dealt Laurier a terrible blow,
going almost solidly against him and
the same may be said of Manitoba and
British Columbia Saskatchewan and
Alberta, the two greatest wheat rais-
ing provinces, gave mild support to
the cause OF reciprocity.
The result Of the provinces as ex-
pressed in the returns received up to
an early hour today, was as follows
