RACE SUICIDE EVERYWHERE
Birth Rate Going Gown in Europe
 and This Country

People thought that Germans lad but to sit tight and hold on and France n per haps couple of generations. would cease to be menace. The falling birth rate in France was expected to take care Of any danger from her.
 But the official statistics of the medical department of the Prussian ministry CT the interior that have just been made pub lie shed an entirely new and alarming light. says Health Culture. on the latter as far as Germany is concerned.
 So much so that the government mas decreed thorough investigation into the causes that arc responsible for the decline in the birth rate and the methods by wkich il may be restored to nornality
 The figures made public show that while in 1875 the births in the German empire were 42.6 for every 100 of the population, ir 1910 they had fallen to barely 3i per i04o. That the conditions were still worse in 1911 may be inferred from the fact that in that year in the kingdom Of Prussia there were s4,oe0 less births than in i9l0 65.00o less than in 1909 and ss,o00 less than in 1908
 Last year inc deaths exceeded the births in France by almost 35,00o. The total num- Der of births in 1911 was 263. 600 less than the annual number of births during the second period Of the second empire.
 Tn Great Britain during 1910 and 1911 the birth rate came perilously close to the death rate. and 1t is said on good author ity that the current year shows no im- provement. but rather the reverse in the condition. From 1876 to 1885 the births to 1900 of population were 34.2: from 1sss to 1895. ao.e; from 1906 to 1911, 2s.s-a suffi- ciently depressing showing.

FANS IN DOUBT AS
 . ID HUGG|N'S ABILITY

Local baseball fans do not know what to expect from Miller Huggins as man ager of the St Louis Nationals next season, says St. Louis special. Roger Bresnahan proved himself a l resolute and capable baseball leader st. Louis has not had a. man like him since Charlie Comiskey -relinquished control of the old Browns in 1891.
 But Bresnahan Is gone. Mrs Britton may have made a big mistake. letting him ont. That remains to be seen. how ever In any event. it's her ball club and she has everything to lose by changing managers
 If Huggins makes good the fans will soon forget Bresnahan. On the other hand, if the Rabbit" falls down the club will suffer financially. That's the risk Mrs. Britton takes in making the change.
 Of course Hugsins will be an experi- ment as manager. But so was Bres- nahan when he assumed control of the team. Roger jumped from a pri- yate under McGraw to a field leader in St. Louis. Now Huggins is in line to advance from a private under Bresna- ban to the managers Job.
 Hug" learned his baseball under capable leaders like Ned Hanlon. Clark Griffith, Bresnahan and John Ganzel, who won two Eastern league pennants with the Rochester team.
 The Rabbit graduated from the St, Paul A. A. team to Cincinnati in 1901 He always has played the mid dle cushion. Huggins and Johnny Eyers are two of the foxiest second sackers in the, history of the game.
 Huggins came to St. Louis in 1910 in a trade for Pitcher Fred Beebe. Fred had proven wonderfully effective against the Cincinnati Reds in 1902 Clark Griffith traded Red" oakes, Frank Corridor and Huggins for Beebe and Storke
 Hug" had had bad season with in 1909. His batting aver

 Grin' thought Huggins was "all l in, and "wished' him on Roger Bresnahan. It certainly looked like Hug was deal one when he landed here and Roger deserves credit for giy- I ing the Rabbit" another lease of major league life. Iiuggins recipro- cated by playing his head off for Bres- nahan in 1910 and 1911
 When the Cards made their great rush for the pennant in 1911, Huggins was the keystone Of the infeld. He worked like a Trojan for Bresnahan and whipped the St. Louis infield into great shape. Arnold Hauser will tell you that Huggins taught him all the 1 tricks of the game. Mowrey never did get along with Bresnahan and it was Huggins who kept peace between manager and third sacker, and held Mowrey on the job Konetchy also learned whole lot from Huggins.

 Several of the stars of this season 8 southern football aggregation will be among the missing when the coaches of the south sound the gridiron clarion next season.
 Alabama will lose two men in Vande- graaff A. and Captain Moody. Both men have played their time out with the Grim son team. It is probable that they will attend the university next fall, and the fact that they will be ineligible for srid- iron activities will be greatly depiored by { Habama adberents. At Auburn Captain Major and Lamb will be among the missing. These two men will be hard to replace on the Orange and Blue squad. Their work this season was spectacular.

AUTO RACE
TO STATE FAIR
IS SUGGESTED
Proposition VIII Be Discuss
ed at Commercial Club
Meeting Wednesday
Night

why not run an automobile race
TO the Phoenix fair is the query
that Is received from Douglas. The
suggestion is i'm the line of a boost
for the Borderlgnd route, and is made
by L. p. Grindeu. secretary Of the
Chamber of Commerce. in a letter to
the Warren District Commercial club
His idea is to have the start made at
Fl Paso and the race end in Phoe-
nix.
In his letter suggesting an auto
mobile race to boost for the state
fair and at the same time for the
Borderland route, Secretary Grindell
states that the distance is 500 miles
and should be made in about 90
hours. He thinks it would cost
about $4,000 TO arrange such an Of
fair and put up the prizes, and this
sum he expects to be raised by the
Fair commission and the cities along
the route. Douglas, he states win do
its share, and will enter one or two
cars.
Whether the idea offered will ap-
peal to the local automobile contin-
gent has not been ascertained. but
the letter will be considered by the
directors of the Commercial club
at their meeting Wednesday night.
