HER ninth FLAG
Boston Has Had Eight PEN

Tim Murnane Tells of Diamond

The veteran baseball editor of the
Boston Globe" Tim Murnane, while
in reminiscent mood the other day,
wrote: I'm my "a years on the Globe

had eight pennant winners. That
means that just one-third of the time

players go through all the disappoin--

The managers of the winners were:
Mike Kelly, once; Frank Selee, five
times, and James Collins, twice. The
captains, or the men who led the boys
on the field, were: Mike Kelly, once;

a free rein, as did James Collins. Both
were managers as well as captains on
touch with their players.
Nash and Duffy were under the
direction of Frank Selee, who made
little pretence of knowing anything
about inside baseball, but who did
know a lot about human nature, and,
besides, had the faculty of developing
a brotherly feeling among his men.
Selee would keep no man on his team
who failed to display a personal in
terest in the success of the team. The
owners of the club were good business
men who never came in contact with
their hired men,"

BOYS BREAK JAIL
Chicago Youths Easily Escape
From City Prison.
Break Hinges and Locks
Drop to Freedom.

Three boys who were held for =
hearing in the Juvenile court, broke
the hinges and locks on doors at the
city prison Sunday night and escaped.
Two of the boys, Daniel Lowry and
Samuel Bowman, both fifteen years
old, were arrested about ten days ago
for robbing Fred Voiland's store at
Kiro. They are from Chicago. The
other boy, Willard McLane, aged 10
years, was being held on the charge
of incorrigibility.
Bowman and Lowry were confined
in cell in the women's ward in the
second story of the prison. They be-
gan operations by cutting the screen
of heavy wire which was on the win
dow of their cell. Learning that es-
cape in this manner was impossible,
they turned their attention to the door
and broke the hinges, parts of which
extended from the castings inside the
cell. Then they swung the door
around on it's hasp which was held
secure by the lock. This allowed the
two boys to enter the corridor to Join
McLane who was in an unlocked cell.
and the boys were successful in folc-
ing it by throwing their combined
weight against it.
The boys entered the detectives
room and they continued operations
by cutting the screen on a window N
crawled out on the ledge of the win
dow, dropped to the ground and then
climbed over the stone yard fence.
Members of the family of Deputy
Sheriff Josiah Ross saw the boys
climb over the fence and notified Jail
er Al Hopkins.
Two In Trouble Before.
Lowry and Bowman were arrested
for an investigation in the Juvenile
court, but their hearing has been de-
layed on account of the absence of w.
+. Schoch, judge of the court. Their
home is in Chicago and they admitted
to the officers that they had police
been in juvenile courts on more than
one occasion.
McLane was arrested Saturday af-
ternoon for failing to attend school.
Detective Frank Summers found him
near the feed lots on Quincy street be
tween Sixth and Seventh streets.
Nothing has been heard of the boys
who broke Jail Sunday night. The po-
lice searched he city Sunday night aud
again today but have been unable to
hear anything concerning them "x-
cepting that they were seen in the Vi
entity of the Rock Island passenger
station about an hour after they got
out of the city prison
These boys were put in the women's
ward upon the instruction of Chief of
Police Morris jenkins because he did
not want them to mix up with the
hardened characters in the main cor
ridor of the prison. 1t is his policy to
put boys in the women's ward as &
protection of his kind.
The women's ward is not escape

and in fact they could not be consiG-

doors that torn off if1

cane.

prosperity Is Here,' Heralds McCrcs
Better Times COMING

Pfttsburg, Pa, Sept 23.-Prosperity that
will eclipse anything the nation has ever
enjoyed is what James McCrea president
of the Pennsylvania railroad. sees in the
future. McCrea came into Pittsburg Last
night. Asked what he thought of the
business situation, he said:
osperity-why it is here. Everybody
can see that. The pulse of the whole
country is beating to the rhythm of hap
pier times. And we are just entering the
new era of prosperity.
Of the prospect for car shortage, Nc
Crea said:
so far as the outlook for the whole
country is concerned, it would be impos-
sible to predict.
This problem of car shortage depends
upon several factors. First, there is the
question of the ability of the farmers to
store their grain. When they are not COM
PEELED by financial stress to realize upon
1t quickly there is not the element of rush
that suddenly brings an acute situation
in car distribution.
Farmers have not had such bumper
crops in years. If there are stoIa age IA
clities in their own bins or in their locat
elevators for the bounteous crops-and L
think there are this year-another factor
in car shortage is removed.
Another important factor is the CO.
operation of shipper and consignee. The
one can help by loading promptly and the
other by unloading promptly
