$4,000 for 4 Ghost.

A market value has been placed
upon healthy, regularly operating
ghosts that are guaranteed to moan
and shrek and send shivers down the
spines OF the timid. The Chicago mar
ket for spooks was strong today, with
$4,000 as the closing figure. OF course
It was in Chicago.
1t was the board of review that
ruled upon the money value of a real
ghost when the assessment figure on
the property of J. s. Deuterlander. at
No. 1915 South Oakley avenue. was
cut from $4,000 to $4,000 after the
owner had convinced the tax experts
that haunted house. instead of being
an asset as a novelty, was in reality
a white elephant on his hands.
According to Deuterlander. young
woman met a mysterious death in the
house four years ago. The tenants
who rented from him after that all
moved away within month or SO
after signing the lease. They said
their slumbers were disturbed by
groans and shrieks and the voice Of q
phantom woman calling upon them to
bring her slayer to justice. For three
years. Deuterlander says, he has been
unable to rent the house, and conse-
quently thinks his tax assessment too
high.

LEFT HANDLERS ARE DYING OUT
Arthur Irwin, Veteran Scout Of New
York Americans, Reports Scare
Ity Of southpaws.

After several weeks spent in observ-
Ing the work of young players in the
minor leagues throughout the country.
Arthur Irwin, the veteran scout OF the
New York Americans, has come to
the conclusion that the left-handed
pitcher is dying out.
I've combed the bushes this year as
never BEFORE" said Irwin on his recent
return to New York, "and never did l
see such a scarcity of southpaws.
They are not to be had.
my experience is the same as the
experience of other scouts with whom
have talked. l cannot account for
1t, except on the theory that left-hand-
ed persons are getting rare In all
walks OF life.
I'm my travels this season l saw
very few left-handed pitchers, fewer
than / ever saw in all my years in
baseball. I'll venture the prediction
that next season there will be fewer
new southpaws In the big leagues than
In any season In twenty-five years"

BIG 100000 PLANT
Seats to BE Provided for at
Least $4,000 Baseball Fans.
Chicago National League Club to
Erect Concrete Stands Extending
Over Vacant Lot on Polk
Street Side Of Grounds.

Chicago's cubs will start the season
Of 1913 In a brand new park surround
ed by 100000 worth of steel. con-
crete. brick and terra Gotta. Charles
w. Murphy. president of the West
Side club, gave out the news by stat
ing that the preliminary survey had
been completed and that the architect.
Herman Van Buskirk. would soon
step forth with the plans. The work
of e1cavating Is billed to start within
few days.
For several months Murphy has
been working on his plans with the
view OF giving the West Side fans a
palace similar to those in vogue at
Comlsky park. at Forbes field. Pitts
burg or the Polo grounds in New
York. He has been gathering data
and material since. as well as much
coin Of the realm. for high-class fan
palaces come dear.
The plant will be located on the
present grounds of the club. 1t being
Murphy's idea to utilize the vacant
space between the fence and Polk
street. extending from Lincoln to Tay-
lor street. Thus the enlarged grounds
will take In territory block long and
extending back 160 feet to the side
walk on Polk street.
Forty-eight thousand fans will be
assured of seats when this massive
plant is thrown open, and there will
be standing room for 10000 more. ac-
cording to Murphy. Thus some fine,
warm Sunday next summer 60.OOO
bugs may be seen comfortably assem-
bled on the scene when the Cubs and
Giants or the Cubs and Pirates get
together.
To provide standing space for the
10000 unable to secure seats the build
ers of this plant have conceived the
Idea OF digging a sort OF subway
around the field. excavating to depth
Of 18 inches directly in front OF the
bleachers and stands. Thus the fans
forced to swarm out upon the field
will be packed in this subway without
obstructing the range of the folks who
arc seated behind them.
Several new features will be In
corporated in the grounds, says Mr..
Murphy. For instance. there will be
I complete megaphone system such
as Mr. Ebbets Is installing in the new
Brooklyn grounds. BY the means OF
this megaphone an operator engaged
Tor the purpose can speak distinctly
to patrons of the game in all sections
Of the grounds telling Of each change
In the fighting personnel.
Two decks will be provided In the
stand. while the "dugout" arranged
for the standing gentry will answer
the purpose of third deck. The play
Ing diamond also will be moved and
several important changes made. It
being Murphy's aim to give Chicago
,ne of the best plants of this kind In
the country.

stories, indeed. He was no doubt a
great rogue and probably a brutal
one: but found nothing sinister
about the man, as there was about
Castro. of Venezuela.
He really did great things for his
country, not, of course. forgetting
himself. For 16 years he maintained
a rare state of comparative peace. and
encouraged foreign capital to the stu
pendous profit OF the investor and ze-
laya. The country. extraordinarily
rich. under his rule received unprece-
dented development. His financial
genius, however. was confined to the
crude sandbag method and the more
the country prospered. the poorer the
people became. Ultimately Zelaya
fell victim to that disease SO fatal to
Latin-American dictators-the Idea
that the United States can be bluf1ed
forever.

but he had no chance to carry them
out; the taint of his association with
Zelaya was his undoing. No one will
ever distinguish him with any Of the
thousand legends which still cling to
the memory of the great dictator.

up the James river, and not finding

English founded jamestown 81 years
afterward. Negro slaves were en-
ployed by the Spaniards in this work,
and this would seem to be the first In

negroes within the territory since cov-
