To WIN
Post-Series Games Prove That
American League Is Faster
Than the National
By JOE MURPHY

Baseball is game of many angles,
and while there is some luck attached
to 1t one can not depend entirely on
the breaks of fortune TO get by. How
ever, IL they come your way they will
help to get you by. Yesterday big
Jeff Overall was on the hin for the
Seals and he pitched the poorest game
since he Joined the team, but still he
won On numerous other occasions
he heaved stellar ball, but was nosed
out because the team failed to hit
behind him, or else a costly bobble of
some kind cropped up.
The case of overall is cited as an
instance, as 1t has been remarked
what poor luck he has experienced
since he Joined the club His work
on the hill has been entirely salts
factory, but he was having his trou-
bles winning games The big fellow
was wild in yesterdays fracas and he
seemed easy to hit, but the boys be-
hind him finally gave him hand.

From the decisive manner in which
the National league clubs we're de-
feated in the post-series of games by
the teams of the junior organization
league is trifle faster than Presi-
dent Lynch's organization. In the
games arranged between the clubs of
both organizations at the conclusion
of the season the henors were carried
off by the American league teams.
In fact, every series was won by
the Junior league teams. Starting of
in the championship series between
the Athletics and Giants, the question
49, 7.s< ~
was firmly established. The Cleveland
Maps took the Pittsburg Pirates into
camp, the Chicago White Sox beat
the Cubs. and so on.
This is enough proof to demonstrate
that Nationals are in need of brac-
ing IL they expect to keep up with
the pace of Ban Johnson's league.

TRAIN DISPATCHER SENDS OUT
 ORDER TO STOP WHITE MOUNTAIN BEFORE WRECK, THEN RESCINDS IT

The so-called banjo signal system installed on the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad nearly 25 years ago and still in operation, was charg- ed in sworn testimony yesterday with the responsibility for the death of 21 persons in the wreck which occurred at North Haven last Tuesday morn ing. The testimony was given at the inquiry begun in the New Haven Fed eral building by the Interstate Com merce Commission to determine the causes of the disaster.
 Described by Interstate Commerce Commissioner McChord himself as men of the crews of the two trains involved in the collision, the system was admitted by officers of the road to be inferior to the up-to-date sys- tenns in use on other roads. Lack ing a caution signal as protection against a danger signal as in modern systems, the ''banjo' type, according g to half dozen trainmen who testi- fled, caused engineers to drift by'' their signals in foggy weather before they could bring their trains to a stop.
 Such was the reason for the North Haven wreck, according to Engineer August B. Miller. who was at the throttle of the locomotive of the White Mountain express when it plunged in to the rear of the Bar Harbor Express on the fatal Tuesday morning.
 Of 22T miles of the banjo type of signal now in use on all the railroads in the United States, 15O miles are in operation on the New York, New Ha- ven and Hartford, according to statement made during the investiga- ton by Commissioner McChord.
 More than a year ago the Broth erhOod of Locomotive Engineers pro tested against the system as not of fering sufficient protection for the en- gineers, and asked that it be abol- ished- Correspondence to the effect was placed in evidence
 That an order to stop the White Mountain Express at Wallingford, three miles north of the wreck, was sent from New Haven and then re- scinded was one of the startling fea-

|CAMINETTI GUILTY
 ON ONE COUNT NOW FACES 3 YEAR TERM

San Francisco, Cal, Sept 6-Drew
 Caminetti, son of the recently ap-
 pointed Federal Immigration Commis- sioner, Anthony Caminetti, who has been on trial in the United States
 District Court for six days for viola
 ton of the Mann White Slave Act, was convicted late yesterday after noon on the first count of the indict- ment, which comprises transporting Lola Norris to Reno, New, for innmor al purposes.
 The jury, out five hours, stood ten for conviction to two for acquittal on
 all four counts during eight ballots
 Then the ten men made a compromise
 with the two who hung out, and
 agreed to guilty on one count.
 The verdict carries with it as pen atty five years in Federal prison or $5, 900 fine or both.
 The counts on which Caminetti was found not guilty are transporting
 Marsha Warrington from Sacramento to Reno and persuading Lola Norris l and Marsha Warrington to go to Reno for immoral purposes.
 When the jury came in Camfnetti
 and his wife were present. They showed no emotion over the verdict though 1t was plain that Caminetti expected a disagreement because of the delay in reaching a verdict. Judge van F1eeL thanked the Jury ana QlS- l charged them. He set next Wednes- day for sentence Diggs is to be sen fenced on the same day.
 Attorney Devlin for the defence at | tackled the character of the two girl witnesses.
 'I am no longer young man and
 have seen many sorts of people in my | life,'' he said. For thirty-eeven years I have been prison director, and thus have had to do with the very
 dregs of humanity. Never in all my
 experience have I seen a character so
 absolutely without moral fibre as that | displayed by Lola Norris.''
 Judge Van Fleet in his charge said: ''The law provides that any person who transports or aids in the trans portation of any woman or girl for | the purpose of leading her into inn morality, prostitution or debauchery, or who induces or entices her into | travelling from one State to another
 for such purposes, is guilty of a felony, to be punished as provided. It is not
 essential that force or compu1sion be
 used. She may go voluntarily, and the words ''induced'' and ''enticed'' are
 used with the ordinary meaning of the
 arts of entreaty or persuasion.''

lures of the testimony. This was told by John c. Kelley, the New Haven train dispatcher. who produced train sheets showing that the White Noun tain brought up in the rear of a procession of six trains which passed Wallingford within a space of thirty two minutes. The first five of them, Kelley testified, were on the ten-mlle stretch between Wallingford and Air Line junction, just north of New Ha- ven, all at the same time.
 And you had five passenger trains on that foggy morning in ten miles Of track, and an order out for the man to stop the next train and then you rescinded it?'' asked Chief 1nspec- tor BeInap of the commission, who conducted the examination.
 Yes s1r.''
 Kelley explained that he had orig inally given the order because of the long time the first of the five trains took to reach Air Line Junction and had rescinded it on receiving word from the despatcher at the Junction that the train in question had arr1v- ed there. He added that there were seven signals in the ten mile stretch
