nothing lead over the Colts early
in the game by virtue of Todd s
wildness and the ability Of the
Bengals to swipe the ball. After
a little, however, the ex-Beayer
heavist bncxled down to good
work and helped considerably in
allowing the i<ck Williams boys
to gain the decision at the end

THIRD SUCCESSIVE DEFEAT cHALkED UP AGAINST BE
FOUR MINOR LEAGUE KIDS SHINE
ARE DUE FOR TRIAL In BIG NOISE

Here are four youngsters de-
stined for high places in baseball,
according to "dopesters. Three
are playing in the New York
State league and the fourth in the
Canadian league.
Mike McNally at short and Joe
Leary at first for Utica are the
real sensations of the New York
State league. Leary, it is said
will go to Cleveland in the fan
and McNally to Detroit.
The playing of McNaliy is de-
scribed "as the most marvellous
in the history of the league.
The boy is playing his first year
in professional ball.
McNally needs only seasoning
to maze him a big league star.
He is hitting .2S5, is a good
bunter and daring base runner.
Leary is not a big man, az first
basemen go. but he is playing the
best first base the league has
ever seen. He is right-handed
thrower. handles the ball and his
feet in good shape and so i'm
pressed McAllister, the Cleveland
scout, that he bid for him.
Leary started as catcher for
Connie Mack two years ago, but
was turned over to Savannah. Ga.
Utica bought him as a catcher
and an accident sent him to first,
where he has remained. He is a
good batter, hitting right handed.
"Finners" Quinlan, left fielder
of the Scranton team, seems big
league sure shot in 1914. He has
played professional ball two years
with his home town, and los
ing team. In any other place
Quinlan would hit better than
$50, his present average. He has
been looked over by scouts, and
Bobby Lowe of Detroit is impress
ed with him.
Bill Donahue, winning pitcher
of the Hamilton. Ont, club, is the
best pitcher in the Canadian
league. This is his first year as
a professional. He is a right
handler and a big fellow only 20
and noted for his splendid control
and speed.

the late King George of Greece was
embalmed today and removed from the
hospital to the palace on stretcher
borne by his son, Prince Nicholas. and

forms clergy, civilians Cretans. Greeks
Muss ulmans and peoples of the various
Balkan races in a Kaleidoscope dis

Soldiers Of the Greek light infantry
in their quaint kits surrounded the

to the palace, passed the spot where
King George was shot down yesterday.

Schinas is not a madman, but ap-
