YOUNG MANVILLE'S
LUCK is TURNING

NEW YORK, Sept. 6.-IhomeS
Franklin Manville. Jr., son or the
Asbestos King" who at Is dis
pleased his father by marrying Flor
ence Huber. chorus girl in Balti-
more last year and who has had
rough sailing since. due to his refusal
to give up his bride, says things are
now coming his wa.
Manville has just recovered from a
severe atteck of appendicitis at a
New York hospital, and he attributes
his rapid cOnvalencence to the atten-
ton and devotion of his wife. He
says that he has bad adventure
enough, and now intends to prove TO
his father that he is a chip Off the
old block and win a name and for
aune for himself
Luck has not been with him in the
matter of jobs until an automobile
firm emploed him as a salesman about
four manths ago. Until then he and
his bride lived on a slender allow
ance he was getting from his father
The salesman's position enabled them
to move to furnished room at 257
West 55th street, where they hoped
to be comfortable. When he was Ia
ken i'll the allowance was not enough
for his hospital expenses, and the
bride did not know where she could
go.
The news of Manville's illness got
to his mother. She called at the
rooms after he had gone to the hos
pital. Thereafter mother and bride
saw him ever visiting day. the moth
er ordered the best the hospital could
furnish for his care and comfort, and
she assumed also the brides expenses
In addition, she bought for the alcove
room fine piano. a brass bedstead,
a dresser of white enamel, mahog-
any dressing table and several arm
chairs.
Il feel as II the turn was coming,
Manville said last night my mother
has made us very cozy here, and think
We have her sympathy. Although my
father offered my wife $4,000 to re-
nounce me, cannot really believe
that my marriage was the main cause
of his displeasure. He always re-
GREETED his lack of education and was
determined that should have all the
schooling possible We did not agree
on Indl-
"My wife and will certainly moi
be parted, and I hope that my fatnei
will become friendly. ! am sure, how
ever that my allowance will run only
until am 81. Before that I intend
to have a good start In life"
Manville looks nearer 80 than 20
adventure having aged him. His wife
seems much his junior Among the
things already to his record are eight
runaways from school. a trip to Eng.
land as helper on a cattleship, en-
ployment as an elevator boy and q
night clerk. TIe also has worked az
/ a baker. had h job unloading freight
cars for a paint factory and was EN-.
ployed as auditor In his fathers of.
fee. He began smoking at IL, shaw,
ed at ~ and is now growing his
fourth mustache. He has been mar.
ried twice to his bride.

MAYOR THINKS
CITY CAN AFFORD
OFFICIAL WEICHER

In a communication to City Coun-
Gil last night Mayor Howell set forth
the need of an official city weigher
to have full jurisdiction over weights
and measures. Mayor Howell be-
lieves the public would profit by hav-
ing such an official and he consides
that the money necessary to provide
the Office would be well spent
The subject has been under consid-
GRAFTON by the councilmen for some
time. The clerk of the markets has
no jurisdiction in stores of any kind
and the members say they are of the
opinion that weights and measures
should be inspected The mayors
letter was referred to the law COM
mittee. It follows:
Il beg to call your attention to the
fact that as far as the city of VIII
mington is concerned the citizens are
practically without protection against
the use of fraudulent weights, meas
ures and scales. ! note the excep-
tion in the laws governing the dut-
les of the clerk of the markets and
covering his authority relative to the
street markets. Also I have knowl-
edge of a certain officer appointed by
lut EONti lDi anu WuDot dulnOIit9 "a
tends over the area OF New Castle
county. 1 believe that our citizens
are unfairly and uniustly treated in
their purchase in many instances by
the use of illegal weights and meas
ures and trust that your honorable
body will consider some means to
prevent the continued use of fraud
ulent weights and measures and safe
guard the citizens from further losses
such as hereinbefore mention.
believe that such action could be
taken by the council and increase the
revenue of the city without adding
one dollars worth of expense to the
tax payers Trusting that this mat
ter may have your serious and mn
mediate attention"

RECORD OF BARONS
FEATURE OFSEASON

When the Scranton Club took a
2 to 1 victory from the Wilkes-Barre
Coal Barons OF the New York State
League Monday afternoon they put
a stop to one OF the most sensational
winning streaks ever displayed by a
league baseball team.
Billy Clymers' bows started on their
grand march on August II by beating
the Elmire Club 2 to 0. At that time
they we're in last place.
A report is going around that the
Barons' leader will be seen in the
International League circuit next sea-
son, either at the head OF the Jersey
City or Montreal team.
During the sensational winning
streak of the Wilkes-Barre Club two
hurlers who we're on the Orioles
staff this season took prominent parts,
they being Dixie Walker and Doc
Martin. The former won five con-
tests, while Pitcher Martin annexed
four wins for his teammates.

FRANK BAKER MAY
BE OUT FOR SEASON
Third SaCker Of Athletics In
jured Ankle in First Game
at Washington

Frank Baker. the Athletics famous
third sacker, may be outeof the game
during the remainder of the season,
The home-run swatter and Giant kill
Ter, in securing his second hit in the
first game at Washington Monday
turned on his ankle in sliding into
second base and twisted the member
so much that the game was delayed
at least a quarter of an hour to allow
Frank to have the injury dressed.
Despite his being in fearful agony
throughout the game, the Mackman
hobbled throughout the morning game
and after again having it dressed
played the entire afternoon fracas.
J. Franklin, despite his injury, was
very much in evidence in both con-
tests, securing five hits during his 10
times at bat, and also receiving two
free passes. After the team returned
from the second game it was noticed
among the players that Baker was
exceedingly late for supper. and upon
having him PACED it was found that
the mighty slugger was In pretty
bad way, but he was able to hobble
to the elevator and come down in
the hotel lobby.
After eating his meal Baker com
planned that the injury seemed to grow
bigger, and it was evident that it had
swollen considerably since the after
noon
Manager Mack will have the third
baseman's leg put under the X-ray to
find out whether there are any bones
broken. In the meantime. while the
chances for the pennant are gone,
Bakers absence will undoubtedly
weaken the Mack scoring machine at
least 30 per cent. If not more.
This will also mean another big
shakeup in the Macks lineup, but
how it will be arranged cannot be
learned as yet

Things Ran Smoothly
Until the Ninth Inning

Says Jim MaroneS, one of the Detroit
Tigers rookie hurlcrs
II was an umpire once in the New
York state League one day was
asked 10 handle the indicator, and be-
fore coming onto the field | told the
fellows that l would be fair, and that
/ would render decisions just as l saw
them.
, Everything went along as smooth
~ as Sunday school picnic until the
ninth inning when, with two men on
Pasrs and two out, one of our players
slammed the ball over the left field
fence, That put us one run to the good
but when / mOtiUned the batter back
t" the plate-well, a DonnybTook fair
wasn't in it,
Il explained to them that / thought
the ball went foul by a fraction. 1t
was one of those decisions Ihat could
have been rendered either way and
the umpire would have still seemed in
the right. But our players couldn't
see it my way. They threatened to
beat me over the head with clubs, send
me to the hospital, then to the morgue,
and after that TO Potter's field.
They finally Quieted down, but they
weren't the same to me for nearly a
month afterwards

Chicago Begins to
Realize BoStOn'S Profit

Out in Chicago they are beginning to
realize that Boston got all the benefit
of the deal by which Good, Graham,
Curtis, and Collins were turned over to
the Cubs for king, Weaver, Kaiser
and Griffin. 1t is pointed out that Killing
advanced to manager, Kaiser is count
ed upon as valuable speedboy AMI
pinch hitter while Weaver and Griffin
are expected to be of some service to
the pitching department this year.
On the other hand, Collins was turned
over by the Cubs to Newark soon after
the exchange was made and Curtis was
swapped to the Phillies for Rowan,
whose work proved disappointing. The
third member of the quartet to so was
Graham, who recently went to Phila-
delpha in a deal for Cotter and Ward.
Good Is the only player still on the
Chicago roster.
At the time this deal was put through
the laugh was given 20 the Boston club,
II being the unanimous opinion that the
Cubs had handed a large lemon to the
Hub MANAGEMENT. Later developments,
however, tend to show that Fred Ten
ney knew what he was doing when he
engineered the trade. Occasionally one
OF these baseball transactions upsets
the dope.
Another instance is found in the eN-
change of four Cincinnati players, Lo-
bert, TAss skCTt, Rowan, and Beebe for
McQuillaM Bates, Grant, and Moren.
Bates and Grant played fairly well for
the Reds, but LObert and Paskert add
ed far more strength TO the Quakers.

WHO'LL PLAY THIRD
FOR THE TIGERS IS
MOOTED QUESTION
Moriarty Will Have to Show
More Form to Hold
Job.

In baseball the burning question this
spring will be:
Who'll play third for the Tigers?'
George Moriarty, who has played the
position for the Tigers for three years,
will have to show better than either
Bill Louden or Dusty Witt to hold his
job.
If Moriarty fails to show better form
than either of the recruit third-saCkers,
George will not leave Detroit. Jennings
will keep Morrie with the Tigers. Lou
den and Witt are players of different
caste. The one "sprang up in a night" "
while the other man has been coming
fer years. LOuden began his profess
sional career in 1906. Wits started in
the spring of 1910. Louden played with
Greenvile, Dallas. Montreal, and New
ark. Witt has been with San Francisco
in the California state League and the
Pacific Coast League.
Moriarty suffered from the captain
''jinX" last year. lie allowed the title
TO worry him too much. This season
the title will be removed, and Moriarty
can go ahead, play baseball, and let it
go at that.
Brooding over troubles is one thing
that MorIarty can't keep from doing.
b..
some rated him above Lord and Baker.
He is Conscientious and has good
baseball head. The trouble with him last
year was that he got away to a bad
start and never recovered, for Moriarty
can't keep from worrying. He lost con-
lidCnCe in himself.
Jennings will need Morarty this year.
Gainor may come back, and Gainor
may not show ability to play the bag
because of a broken wrist received last
year. If GainOr cannot handle himself
freely Hughie will use Moriarty on first
base. MOriarty is a first-sacker. lie be-
longs there. He never played third base
because he wanted to or thought he could
he played it because he was ordered to.
He played first for while for the High
landers, while Chase was Outlawing it
on the coast because of a disagreement
with the New York management. They
say that no one outside of Chase played
the bag better than Moriarty.
lie Is valuable man to have on a
club: II Louden and Witt fail to make
good, Moriarty can go back to third.
lie will play better ball than last wear,
because the hoodOo has been torn from
him. II he does not play there, he can
act as substitute first baseman. He is
built for that position.
