SOME OF WARS HORRORS
Cruel Death of the Prisoners in the
Stone Quarries of Ancient
Syracuse.


London.-All the horrors of war

modern days by any means, although
fighting between nations is becoming
less frequent and less ferocious than
of old. Today no nation would be
permitted to deliberately starve to
death it's prisoners. for instance, as
was done in ancient Syracuse. We

seems, but there is room for further
improvement, for all that.
The picture shown herewith has
the appearance of quiet, peaceful
days, yet it is a wonder that the
rocks are not covered with red
streaks, for it was in these old quar-
ries near Syracuse that some 5000

ATEW YORK. oct l7.-Those
Samese Twins Of Trouble
makers. Charles Webb Mur-
ply and Horace Fogel. have just
about talked themselves to death.
Horace, the tigurehead of the Ma
uonal league affairs in Philadel-
phia according to the critics in
that staid town. is dead cock in
the pit 1t is claimed that he will
be relieved of the executive by the
stockholders, even should the Ma
tiona league fail to take action on
the many wild utterances of this
disgruntled magnate. Charles w.
Murphy, after seven years of I'M
qualified success in Chicago. has
evidently drawn down about his
ears the wreck of mighty ball
club.
Murphy and Fogel have been the
heartiest disorganizers that have
been seen in the game in many
years. The owner of the Cubs has
shown himself the hardest loser
of history. In seven Years he has
won four pennauts, two worlds
championships, and in the other
, three starts was nipped right at
the Wire-in 1909 by the Pirates,
and the last two seasons by Nc
GraW's champions His investment
in the West Side has yielded doubt
less the greatest returns of modern
baseball. The club cost him just
100000, and. according to Frank
Chance, Murphy has run that sum
well over the million dollar mark
for net earnings. Murphy has new
e. had a bad season. yet evidently
he can not stand prosperity.
Murphy Is Ungrateful,
Murphy has been guilty of many
questionable acts, but he never
showed such ingratitude as when
he discharged his peerless mana
ger Frank Chance. Chance has
been sponsible for Murphy's great
financial achievements. Few man
ayers have ever carved out such
VI puu ItNOl Us. CA Ell AiliS SSdSOIl,

modelled a team that looked fit for

grand fight against fearful odds
that until almost the very end of
the campaign the Windy City
threatened New York's peace of
mind, And for his pains he was
turned down cold, kicked out prac-
tically from a hospital cot.
The dismissal of Chance would,
in any event, have bespoken in
gratitude unparalleled in major
league history. but the mean man
ner in which Murphy went about 1t
made him appear even more knav-
ish than usual Casting about for
some alibi to soothe his wounded
pride in the loss of the pennant,

Georgia's gridiron warriors are

However, another light scrimmage
