SOME SAY DYNAMITE,
 OTHERS SAY FROST
Reports Now Differ as to the Cause of Damage to Lyon County
 Courthouse.

RENO. New. Dec. 19.-The county commissioners of Lyon county. and Ward Bros, contractors, commenced an inquiry into the cause of the dam age, amounting to $3.500, on the new $50, 900 courthouse at Yerington sun day morning. Statements from Yer ngton that the damage was done by dynamite are met by conflicting ru- mors from Mason. nearby. that the cause was severe cold acting on the newly moulded concrete. No labor troubles had occurred during con struction, but there was considerable H. feeling over the award of the con tract. and also over the fact that the county seat was moved from Dayton ta Yerington by the last legislature. The damage. it is reported consists
 in the falling of two concrete par titiOns above the second floor, carry ing down a portion of the floor and debris to the lower floor. The out side walls were not damaged in any way except one iron beam was pulled out from the north wall.

CAREER OF JOE JACKSON.


Joseph Jackson. the ardhitting and
fast outhelder of the Cleveland club Of
the American league. who is giving Ty
Cobb close race for batting and speed
records, is, like his illustrious rival, a
southron, he hailing from the mountain
district in South Carolina. He was
born at Brandon Mills twenty-four
years ago. In 1907 he first played ball
as n pitcher for the Brandon Mills Cot
ton Mill team. On 1908 he secured his
first professional engagement with the
Greenvillc club cf the Carolina associa-
ton. He proved himself a great bats
man from the start and was played In
the outneld for his batting. He fin
ishcd the season with an average Of
.343. leading the league In batting He
was purchased by the Athletic club
and at once given try-out. Being
extremely sensitive he took offense at
newspaper squibs about his lack of
learning and polish, and returned with
out leave To his South Carolina home
He was EARNED" by the Athletics In
1909 to Savannah, where he made the
biggest batting average i'm the South
Atlantic league, .354. In 1910 Jackson
made another advance i'm rank, as the
Athletic club transferred him to the
New orleans club, and he became n
regular fielder for the Pelicans. He set
things on fire again by his hard hitting
and scored another good mark by top
ping the Southern league batting with
n percentage of 1856 In about l35
games. He was secured from New
orleans by the Cleveland club. Connie
Mack Of the Athletics had a claim on
him. but that claim was relinquished.
I'm view of the trade of Bris Lord to
the Athletics for Rath. Jackson took
part in twenty games with Cleveland,
fall of 1910. getting an average of 1881.
So far this season he has kept up his
sensational work in all departments of
the game. and has amply proven that
he Is mot n flash in the pan." as was
claimed by some critics last fall.

MUCH INTEREST
IN TROPHY RACE
COBB LIKELY TO RECEIVE CHAL-
MERS AUTO IN AMERICAN
BUT SIX SEEK HONOR
IN NATIONAL.

AS the time draws near for the award
of the Chalmers Trophy there seems
to be the greatest speculation among
the fans as to what player in the
National League will receive the vote
Of the newspaper men. In the Amerl-
can League. while "A number of players
lave been mentioned. the general pub
lie seems 10 fancy Ty Cobb, in view of
the phenomenal season that this great
player has had this year
In the National League. however
there is no one man whose work has
been as conspicuous to the general
public as has been that of Cobb's.
This is doubly true in view Of the close
race i'm the parent organiZat lion this
year. For the past month this has
been practically an. open race between
the Giants. the Cubs and Pirates and
with the Philadelphia Club never so
! far behind as to be entirely climinat-
led. While the Chalmers Trophy this
| year Is to be awarded to the man Of
each League who in the opinion of the
newspaper judges has done the most
for his team. regardless of the posi-
ton in which his club finishes, it is
only natural that the contenders In the
Ipennant contest are thrown more in
the lime light.
Accordingly there are about six great
lplayers in the National League, who, as
far as the general public is concerned
larc all worthy of serious consldcra-
ton for the Chalmers prize. These
men are Marquard and Mathewson, of
l the Giants: Richie of the Cubs; Wag-
ner of the Pirates, and Alexander and
Magee of the Phillies.
If McGraws pitching department
wins him another pennnnt this year
it will he the first season since McGraW
has been at New York that Matthew
son would not be practically the unan-
limous choice of The Gotham fans. This
wear "Rube" Marquard the $1,000
beauty. with whom McGraw has worked
flor the past two seasons. has at last
made good There is no question but
what both of these men deserve con
sidcration.
The great race put mp by the Cubs
This year despite many Injuries to theii
players is remarkable. The great pit
ching of Richie. has meant great dea
Ito the Cubs this season. lie has beer
practically the Cubs mainstay IN the
box.
For Pittsburg. the great Wagner has
usually been all important TO the Pr
rates and there is no question but what
his work this season will get hin
many votes.
Alexander and Magec, of the Phil
lies. will also undoubtedly be consid-
