CAMPBELL MAY Be
TRADED BY BOSTON
FOR JOSH DEVORE
StaIlings Casts Covetous Eyes
on Three Members Of Giants
Whom He Could Use.


NEW YORK, Jan ls.-George STALL
Boston Nationals. is casting covetous
slances at a portion and a half Of the
Giants. Perhaps 1t would be more cor
rect to say three haif-portions. for the
midgets upon whom the eagle eye Of
the big chief is trained are Jose Devore.
Heiny Groh, and Milton Stock.
All three of these diminutive athletes
have worked for Stallings In the minors
-Devore at Newark. land Groh and
Stock at Buffalo. Big George has an
idea that McGraw can spare either
Groh or Stock II Artie Shafer reports,
and he hopes to coax Devore away by
offering Vincent Campbell In exchange
for the Terra Haute capitalist
Sfalhngs Is coming up from his
Georgia plantation next week to have
talks with his boss. Jim Gaffney. and
Manager McGraw. who closes his vaud-
eville engagement Saturday night, and
to baseball affairs.
While the Boston club has q good
shortstop In Maranville and several out
nelders. Stalings can md q regular
berth for handy chap like Groh. The
big chief must practically remodel his
inheld. Bill Sweeney is sure of a job
al second base. but Stalhngs is not keen
on starting the season with two be-
ginners-Maranville and Bues-guardinH
the left side of the diamond
When Deyore first Joined the Giants,
Stailings took Josh over TO Newark for
year and taught him many things
Stallings always praised the little fel-
lows work. and would like to have him
again. The Boston team, as now con-
stiruted, lacks Individual and team
speed. and Devore Is fast.
If Stallings can convince McGraw that
Vincent Campbell will play ball In New
York the prospect for a deal Is good.
Campbell Is one of the speediest out
fielders In the game, a wonderful fielder.
and good base runner. He never has
developed into a star because OF his
weak hitting. But Vincent Is a smart
youth, and with competent instructors
he might develop into q good hitter.
Anyway he Is the type Of player that
McGraw admires. and he certainly has
great possibilities.
Campbell has married since the close
OF last season. and announces that he
has quit baseball. AT present he Is In.
business in ST. Louis. He made this
assertion two years ago, however, and
undoubtedly a chance to perform with
the Giants and get into a worlds series
would cause him to change his mind.
But II Is fairly certain that he will not
20 back to Boston.
Whatever success McGraw has in de-
veloping George Burns as a regular out
fielder will play a part in Devore's
future

BOSTON. Mass. Jan. 17.-Despite his

likely. to find himself second string

He will sit on the bench and look at

games. Carrigan wasn't any too Well
pleased. either. at his being showed
into the discard.
The champions have four good catch

maker. and Thomas make a valuable
quartet. Nunamaker Is now holding
out for more money. but he is expected
to come in under cover before the sea-
son begius. Thomas IS rather slow for
the big show, but will get another trial
before being sent back to the bushes.

1000 DEAD AND 1000 WOUNDED.
American Minister Has a Delicate
Situation With Which to Deal.

Mexico City, Feb. 17.-(By courier
to Vera Cruz, Feb. 18.)-All the hor-
rors OF a bombardment have been ex-
perienced by the residents of this city
for many days. Vicious machine gun
and rifle fire has ragged in the streets
at range of sometimes of less than
one hundred yards
Scarcely a district of the capital
has escaped injury. Hundreds of
buildings attest by their hole-marked
sides and wrecked interiors to the
destructive qualities of modern ar
tillery.
How many have been killed or
wounded is a question which none
can answer definitely. From a source
usually considered conservative, it
has been stated that the number of
dead is not less than 1000, while the
total Of the wounded amounts to
from 5000 to 10000. The great ma
jOrity of these are not soldiers, but
escape the lines of fire. 1t is a we'll
known fact that attachments of fifty
and one hundred men have been
moved down by machine guns here
and there at various times when
caught in the narrow streets. Carts
piled high with corpses have been
driven to the outskirts of the city
and buried
Every morning in the zone of the
actual fight, piles of burning rub
bish are to be seen. These heaps are
for the most part rubbish, but the
odor of burning flesh tells another
story.
A practical, though grewsome
method has been utilized in one
place. The gas escaping from a brok-
en- main has been lighted and there
in that steady flame has been impro-
Vlsed crematOry. In the basement
of an apartment house a few blocks
from the arsenal is the grave of Mrs
E. w. Holmes, one of the two Amer
lean women killed early in the fight
ing by the entrance into her home OF
shell. For three days her husband
remained alone there with the corpse
unable to remove it and unwilling tC
leave it perhaps to suffer further mu-
tilation.
Soldiers entered the apartment
where he kept vigil and before his
eyes robbed the place. He managed
to find boards and carpenters tools
and nails in the building and con-
structed a coffin into which he laid
the body of his wife He carried il
to the basement and there dug and
filled her grave.

a good mother gone on the 31st
of January, Mrs. Agnes f. Harris
died at her home in Chatham Coun-

Lexington, Davidson County, and was
born the first day of February, 1882.
On March IS, 1852. she was married
to Mr. Oscar E. Harris, who preceded
her TO the grave twenty-eight years
ago. The death of such an excellent
lady as Mrs Harris deserves more
than passing notice.
She graduated at Greensboro Fee

she became a member of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church, and her con-
sistent Christian life showed the sim
cerity OF her religion. After suffer
ing intensely for three months of
heart trouble her struggling spirit
passed away from earth to Heaven.
Her remains were laid in the silent
grave at Ebenezer Church. The de-
who knew her. Her amiability of
temper, her loneliness of character,
her remarkable cheerfulness and hap
Ply, contented disposition, her utter
want of selfishness, her fidelity to
duty, her devotion to her husband
and her untiring, loving care of her
children all combined to make her a

many excellencies of character will
be a precious comfort to her grief
