New York, August 3.-Already the
experts are beginning to figure on the
worlds series in October. 1t is gen.
orally conceded that the Athletics and
Giants will be the contenders. 1t is
true that Joe Birmingham, Clarke
Griffith, Charley Doom and Johnny
Evers do not concede it, but they are
about all. Comparisons of the two
teams are therefore in order.
In the percentage table the two
clubs are pretty nearly even, but when
other items are considered there Is a
wide variance. Each team leads its
league in batting, the Athletics with
286, the Giants with $50. In fielding
also the Athletics lead with 1857. while
the Giants stand sixth with .9S1.
The Giants have more representation
in their line of endeavor. In Herzog,
Burns, Doyle and Merkle they have
four of the 10 leading base stealers.
The Athletics have three in Collins,
Oldring and Baker.
In batting here is how the regular
line up of the two teams figure:

EXPECT POWDER MILL CUSTER
District Attorney Is Now at Work on
Case Durkee Estate to be Brought
in Court on Appeal From the Deci-
sion of the County Court.

Criminal cases promise to take up
much Of the time of the coming March
term of the Circuit Court and Clerk
Benz NJ DeDiemar is already at work
preparing the calendar for the term
which opens on March 18th. The fact
that this is st. Patrick's day will not
| interfere with the jury being called to
hear cases and it is not expected that
there will be any adjournment Of the
court on account of the observance of
the birthday of the Patron Saint of
Ireland.
| One murder case and one attempted
murder case promise to furnish thrills
! for the Jurors at the term of the court.
Dominick Polimeni will be tried on a
charge Of numbering his cousin, Tony
Polimeni, and William Kurnilowitz will
| probably be on trial for the attempted
murder of his sweetheart, Miss Anna
Antonowicz. Another criminal case in
which there has been considerable in
terest is that of the State against
Nicholas Cerenzia, who is charged with
making criminal assault on his little
daughter, Mary Cerenzia. This case
has been pending for some time and it
is expected that it will be brought to

zia is hopeful that his daughter will
decline to appear against him, but she
has already made afidavits of her treat
ment and these will probably be intro
duced at the trial.
The civil cases for the term will prob
ably be numerous although only a few
cases have so far been noticed for trial.
Tt is possible that the fight Of the
county against the powder mill at
Pleasant Prairie will reach the court at
this term. District Attorney A. L.
Drury has been looking into the evi-
dence that can be secured in the suit
to GUST the company and he is being
aided in this work by Attorney R. V.
Baker, who was employed by the county
board as an aid to the district attor-
ney in this case.
Another case of interest will be the
appeal from the County Court in the
Charles Durkee will case. All future
movements of the men interested in I'M
earthing the alleged Durkee millions
will depend for great part on the
outcome Of this case. The appeal is
taken by parties in the State of Utah,
who protest against the action of Judge
] Taylor in naming Henry j. Hastings as
an administrator of the estate. If the
decision of the lower court is sustained
/ it is understood that Attorney Hastings
will at once proceed with nationwide
examination into the alleged claims
against the estate.
