~ ILL EVANS, who umpired on
~ the bases October ID at the
Polo grounds, has admitted
that maybe the famous balk made
that day by Buck" O'Brien was not
a balk at all.
Since the alleged misdeed prob
ably cost O'Brien and the Red Sox
the game, which, if won by Bos-
ton, would have ended the series
then and there, Evans long de-
ferred admission is important. Had
Snodgrass caught that fly out in
center field two days later, Buck"
O'Brien's balk would very likely
have lost the worlds championship.
Since it may not have been a balk
after all, think how much excite
ment and argument Evans escaped
when Snodgrass muffed Engle's
long fly ball. And If it had not
been called a baIk, the magnates
would have missed more than $780,
600 that flowed into the box offices
the next two days at Fenway park.
And that Wood O'Brien fight"
would never have come off. for that
"balk" paralyzed and beat the Red
SoX
EVANS made the admission the
IL other day in relating the story
of a "fanfest" at the Copley Square
hotel the day after the game in
which O'Brien was charged with a
balk. At that gathering a baseball
player said he believed O'Brien
really thought he was off the rub
Der when he made the alleged balk.
Evans then made the surprising
statement that both he and Umpire
KLEIN, who called the balk. actually
doubted at the time whether it was
a balk. And now the story becomes
public.
YOU will remember the world Sc
ries stood: Boston, 8 New
York, l. and one game tied, before
the game of October IA. In the
first inning that day, with a man on
first, a man on third, two out and
no runs scored, O'Brien made a mo-
ton to throw to first base. but
stopped suddenly in his delivery.
Evans, who stood directly behind
O'Brien, says that he Immediately
glanced at O'Brien's feet to see if
one of them was on the rubber. He
admits now that he doubted wheth-
er OBrien was ION" or Off the
rubber. He says that Umpire KLEIN.
who was officiating behind the
plate, was in charge of the arbi-
traitors that day. and it was his
duty to call balks. But he seemed
also to be in doubt, for he hesitated
before motioning to the man on
third TO score and the man on first
to advance to second.
Klein has explained this-by tha
way-by saying that he wanted TO
see If the Giants would claim
balk. although such a claim was
unnecessary.
w HEN Klein finally made his
ruling Evans and OBriep
exchanged glances. Evans consid-
cred O'Brien a wise old owl on the
mound, and it surprised him to see
Buck ratified enough to make a
false move to throw to first if he
was actually ready to pitch from
the rubber So he asked O'Rrien

Old Panama Landmarks Are No More

MANY villages on the Isthmus of
AVA Panama intimately associated
with the history of the stirring buc-
cancer days are soon to disappear
forever beneath the surface OF the
vast artificial lake which is now slow
ly filling up between Gatun and Mata-
chin.
These places were known to Euro
pean civilization many years before
jamestown was settled or Massachu-
sets Bay was an English colony. Now
they are little more than jungle ham,
let's, and nothing OF value will dis.
appear when the rising waters of Lake
Gatun blot them out Of existence.
The Canal Record gives list and
short historical sketches OF some of
the vanishing villages. Heading the

Sent "Happy New Year" to the World

A MILLION miles OF telegraph and
n cable wires throughout the world
were thrown open TO the tick of n
sidereal clock in the Naval observa-
tory on the heights overlooking Wash
ington at the moment 1911 changed to
1912 and Uncle Sam through them
called his Happy New Year to all
he world. Every city and hamlet in
the nation, the ships at sea, travellers
TO foreign lands were informed at the
moment that the nation officially an
nounced the arrival of Times new

piece merely swung its pendulum as
might any such on an obscure mantel

This message awakened a spark I
enthusiasm in the breasts of those

ocean craft far cut at sea pick up its
message and rejoice.
All these wires and cables and cur

t.y .yASHINGTON.-Th loan shark in
w his arrogant disregard of human
rights continues in most cities to eX-
act unreasonable tribute from the
wretched men caught in his net. Lead
ing newspapers throughout the coun-
try have constantly denounced the
business OF making small loans upon
the security Of pledge or mortgage Of
personal property or assignment of
wages. Drastic laws have been in
voked in many states against IT. So
cieties have been organized to protect
victims from unjust practices. but the
press accounts are soon forgotten by
all save the unfortunate clients of the
money lenders, and the campaign to
remedy the conditions surrounding
The business has been marked by
years Of fruitless struggle.
Laws are constantly and uniformly
evaded. ignored and dehed. The gov
ernment officials and legislators have
repeatedly announced their firm In
tenton to drive the loan shark out OF
existence. Grand juries have time
lnd again returned indictments
against these gentry, accompanying
their presentments with statements OF
eNrortion and oppression almost unbe-
lieyable in this enlightened age. but
still this blot OH our civilization re-
mains and appears TO careful observ-
ers even TO increase in size.

PAPER BAG
COOKING
Great System Perfected by M.
Soyer, Famous London Chef.
GETS THE GOOD OUT OF FOOD.
BY Martha Meculloch Williams.

BY Martha Meculloeh Williams.
Eating serves double purpose
the giving of pleasure, the keeping
up of strength. Ill-cooked food re-
duces both to a minimum-hence the
proverb: God sends meat and the
devil sends cooks" Possibly his
satanic majesty now and again mods.
1t must have been in such somno-
lent interval that he let NJ Soyer's
system of paper bag cooking get by
him. For unquestionably IL is in the
way Of reducing ill-cooking at least
one.half. Thereby it will help to feed
fat all the nations of the earth
The use of cooking is to change
the nature of food substances, max
ing them at once better tasting and
more digestible. Heat works by de-
velopng navors and Transforming sub
stances. Its most important Office is,
however, to break down fiber. animal
and vegetable, to such a degree as to
render II easily digestible. II It is
to do this 1t must be properly applied.
That is to say. gently, regularly.
Simple food, well cooked, is the
foundation of happiness-and paper

1t follows naturally that. the paper

food for delicate persons. and grow.

dishes that have helped build up

will be likewise good for children,
especially delicate ones, admits of
no doubt.

Nation Is to Fight the Loan Sharks

The many unsuccessful attempts to
legislate the usurlous money lender
out of existence have shown one thing
very clearly, that law that comes
between the INSCRIPTIONS man who
has money to lend and the man who
wants to borrow cannot be enforced
until an agency is established to sat
isfy his need at lower cost. Recog
nizlng this fact, philanthropic men in
nearly twenty cities. content with
reasonable return upon their invest
ment, have organized remedial socie
ties TO make loans at the lowest rates
of interest practicable to deserving
people upon security of personal prop
erty pledged or mortgaged.
In many cities efforts are now being
made by citizens backed by chambers
of commerce and boards OF trade to
organize similar societies. Those In
operation have proved themselves
practical and measurably successful
means OF accomplishing what drastic
legislation and popular clamor has
been pow erless TO do. The loan shark
has not been entirely eliminated from
the cities in which these societies op-
crate. but his exactions have been re-
duced appreciably.
Briefly stated, the programme Of the
remedial loan movement includes the
organization in all cities Of competi-
tive loan societies Of a social nature
in the pawnbroking and chattel loan
fields; the establishment of co-opera-
tive associations for savings and loans
among employees, supplemented by
the investment OF honest capital on a
reasonable money.making basis. In
all states legislation will be sought
chiefly to facilitate this competition.
