MACKMEN STEAL
SIGNALS, SAYS
|. BIRMIN CHAM
Maps Leader Is Latest to Accuse
Connie Mack of Getting Other
Teams Signs.

~ HICAGO, ILL, June 2S.-Mana-
ger Joe Birmingham, of Maps, is
the latest person to tell why the
Athletics are leading the American
League. Connie Mack and his men
have stolen the opposing teams
signs" says Birmy. All Of which
puts him in bad with all lovers of
clean sports. The chances are that
the Athletics haven't stolen any clubs
signs; neither have they played I'M
fair in any way They are winning
games solely on their merits and de-
serve all the honor that goes with vic
tory. The Mackmen have proved
themselves to be the class in the jun
for organization, and it's about 10 to
l bet now that they will play in the
worlds series next fall.
Many fans believe that not only will
the Athletics come back after a years
reversal Of form but that their OPP
ponents. next October will be none
other than the Giants If such is the
case 1t Will be the third time that
McGraw and Mack have locked horns
in a worlds series. The count to date
stands even, McGraw beating Con-
ME worse than six-love back in 1905
and Mack gaining the upper hand il
1911 nearly as easily.
ONE player on the Athletics who
~ is seldom mentioned in connection
with the teams success is neverthe-
less one of the strongest factors OF
that aggregation. He is Amos Strunk
the speedy outfielder of the Mack
men. Strunk has developed remark
ably since last season, and he is to-
day one of the most valuable men
Mack has on his team. Not only is he
one of the greatest fielders in the
league, but he is fast base runner
and is hitting at a $40 clip this sea-
son. Strunk gets little credit for the
important part he has played in the
success of his team. He Is seldom
mentioned as having distinguished
himself, and yet he has done as much
as any other member of the team to
make possible its remarkable winning
streak. On any other team StrunlI
would be a sensation, but he is lost
among the numerous stars which
Mack has.
1T is doubtful If there is another in
stance in baseball where a player
has developed as fast as he. Two
years ago Strunk was an ordinary
player who was in the game but sell
dom. Mack farmed him out a whole
season to Milwaukee, and 1t was while
there that Strunk developed into a
real star.

Why Keep After Thaw.

Why don't they let Thaw 90?
Why do they keep after him! are
questions which are sometimes being
asked.
The reason that the state of New
York is sparing neither effort nor ex-
pense TO retain the degenerate is that
he is a murderer and crazy man and
that the commonwealth does not pur-
pose that his wealth shall succeed in
doing what the man of small means
could not hope to 30. 1t is conceded
that the gold of Thaw has given the
state great deal of trouble, but the
authorities of the state DO not desire
to see it win over the law of the land.
A man of less fortune than that of
Thaw would have to remain IN the
asylum for the criminal insane. 1t Is
perfectly proper that Thaw should get
the same treatment. For him to get
different treatment would add fire to
socialism, anarchy, |. W. w. activities
and unrest.
1t is simple justice that Thaw should
pay the penalty of his crime.-utlea

Safety in Railroad Travel.

The average person who reads about
railroad accidents and is impressed by
the figures representing the number OF
people killed or injured in a year,
seldom stops to consider that nearly
all railroad journeys are made in safe
ty and that, as compared with the
number of passengers carried, the mum
Der of travellers who meet disaster is
remarkably small. A mathematician
who has been studying statistics says:
typical journey for all roads in
the country is now "a miles, and there
are taken on the average 2,275, I'D
such journeys in safety to each jour
ney which results fatally. If a man
were to ride out these 2,275.l22 safe
journeys at , per cent for each bust
ness day in the year, it would take
him 1892 years. To have begun in
time to meet his death in 1914, he
would have to start committing in the
year l71S, b. c., when Egypt was under
the shepherd kings, and ass years be
fore Moses led the children of Israel
through the Red Sea.
Statistics prepared by the govern
ment showed that in 1905 only one
passenger was killed out of 1875, $50
travelling by rail; in 1906, one out of
2,222 SOL; in 1907, one out of every

in 1909 one out of 3,523 500, and in
1910 one out of 2,759,970. In the five
wears for which the figures are given
there was a notable advance in point
of safety, and the railroads of the
country continue to spend vast sums
