.TY COBB PICKS
GIANTS TO WIN
He Thinks That McGraw Is the De
Gliding Factor in the Coming
Worlds Series.
By TY COBB.

I pick the Giants to beat the Ath.
letics In the coming worlds serles.
The two teams are OF about equal
playing strength but McGraw's coach
ing will rattle Ira Thomas and Frank
Baker. Thomas and Baker can't stand
being grilled. Hughey Jennings has
ratified them in almost every series
the Tigers and Athletics have played.
and Jennings coaching 10 mild CON-
pared TO McGraw's.
McGraw will say or do anything 20
win a ball game.
Thomas was with Detroit before he
went TO the Athletics and he boasted
that he knew our weaknesses and
that we wouldn't win when he was
catching. We got after Ira and RAJ
tied him so badly Connie Mack di1nt
send him In against US for Two
months.

DAvEY JONES ANNOYED
BY EXAGGERATED STORY

Il am greatly annoyed by a
story which appeared In an af.

Davey Jones to The Times,
Tuesday. 1T would appear
from that story that was a
bitter enemy of Jennings. What
I said really amounted to about
this: Every manager has
trouble with players on the
field. and Jennings Is no ex-
ception. except that sometimes
his sarcasm hurts such men
as Donie Bush, while Others,
like Delahanty, pay no atten-

So States Late Adyices From Scene of War-Japan Declares It's Neutrality, but Ger
 many Does Not.

Washington, Oct. 3.-Cable com- munication with Tripoli was inter- rupted today and little developed to indicate the course of events al the seat of the Turkey-Italian war If earlier reports are based on cor rect information bombardment oi that city by the Italian fleet should have begun at noon today (approxi- mately 6 D. m. New York;
 An Italian cruiser reports that the Turkish fleet has not reached Dardanelles, but that the ships are sparated and still in the archipelago where they are sought by Italian warships.
 It was announced at the German foreign office today that Germany probably would not proclaim her neutrality because of the likelihood that the hostilities would be short; and also no steps toward the media tion is probable before the Tripolian coast is occupied by Italians. The Turkish ambassador at Lon don presented another Turkish note to the British foreign office, setting forth that Italy had begun hostii- ities previous to a declaration of war and that Turkey would be jus tifled in adopting whatever meas ures it might decree beyond those provided by the rules of war. This, however, she has not done, pending a fresh appeal to the powers in the conviction that the conflict might be stayed.
 A wireless to Rome from the fleet at Tripoli says that natives with iS,000 Mauser rifles returned to the interior with the evident purpose of waging guerilla warfare.

JAMES ). SHAVER FOR CONGRESS
FIFTH MAN TO ANNOUNCE FOR PLACE IS FROM CENTER
 OF DISTRICT.
Long Record of Honorable and Ef- iicient Service and Wide Ac- quaintance Makes Judge Shaver
 a Strong Candidate.

Judge James D. Shaver, for more than ten years chancellor of the Sixth district. comprising nine counties in the southwestern cor ner of Arkansas, has definitely de- cided to make the race for Congress in this, the Fourth district, he be- ing the fifth to enter the arena for that honor. The others are Judge J. M. Carter of Texarkana, Otis T Wingo of De Queen, Joe Johnson of Ft. Smith, Leon Westmoreland of Greenwood.
 The story of Judge Shaver's life and his relation to the people with whom he has come in contact in a public way, would seem to indicate that he will be remarkably strong candidate for this, or any other place he might ask.
 James D. Shaver was born in northern Arkansas, the eldest son of General Robert G. Shaver. Tn 1873 the family moved to Center Point, Howard county, where he later studied law in his fathers office, being admitted to the bar in 1884, after. which he became a part ner with General Shaver in the practice of law.
 In 1888 he was elected to the leg islature from Howard county. At the next election following he was made prosecuting attorney of what now is the Ninth Judicial circuit, and served four years in that capac- fly. After the. expiration of his term as prosecuting attorney he took up the active practice of law al Center Point until the spring of 1908, when he moved to Mena and formed law partnership with Hal l.. Norwood.
 a law partnership with Hal L. Nor wood.
 When the Sixth chancery district twas forInad in 1901 kIr. Shaver was appointed as chancellor judge and served so well that in 1905 and 1916 he was elected without opposition. This district comprises nine coun- ties, six of which are in the Fourth congressional district.

A NEW REAL ESTATE FIRM
T. F. Kidwell and M. Hartman Open an Office on Pickering
 Avenue.

T. F. Kidwell and M. Hartman have formed a co-partnership to handle real estate, loans and insur- ance, and have opened offices at 5ft Pickering avnue.
 Both men are well known in Mena, MT. Kidwell came here several years ago and bought a little farm close to town and surprised himself and others with his splendid success ill producing good crops. He found, however, that at his age the work was too much for him, and this compelled him to sell his pretty place and come to town.
 MT. Hartman is prosperous and well-known farmer, who is wide- awake to the opportunities of this section, and can talk from ex- perience. He is serving his second term as vice-president of the Polk County Fair Association.
 This new firm solicits inquiries in their line and fair portion of the business.
