The White Sox earned distinction in
at least one branch of the national
sport during the past season. UIder
the new system of rating hurlers, Jim
Callahan's clan boasts the best staff

Jim Scott and Albert Russell being
topped only in the list by Walter John
son, who is so superior to the rest of
the field that he ought to be barred.
The quality of the sox pitching brig
age was divulged yesterday with the
publication of the official averages for
the season. The old won and lost reck-
oning has been discarded and the &C
tual worth of pitcher to a team is
shown. The outcome of games cut lit
tie figure, as a tight battle lost to a
finger on errors will work to his
credit The percentage is found I'M
der this new system by charging
against a pitcher only what he is re-
sponsible for.
For AZ games, or GAG innings, John
son, the Senator speed marvel, allowed
ar average of 1.09 runs per game. His
earned runs total AZ and runs scored
by opponents, 81. This leaves twelve
markers accounted for by errors. John
son hit nine batsmen, passed thirty
eight and is the only pitcher to pass
the two-hundred mark in strikeouts.

Cincinnati, Ohio. Nov. IS. - Joe
Tinker, manager of the Cincinnati
baseball team during the season of
1913, will not manage the team next
year. This decision was reached late

directors of the company. Under these
conditions the directors decided not to

the manager of the team will be is a
question for the future and will be

Game at Davenport.
TEAMS EVENLY MATCHED
Davenport Has Record of Beating

Although there is to be a football
contest at Island City park tomorrow
afternoon between the Rock Island
high and Peoria Manual training high
teams. local football interest will be
largely eentered in the game 10 be
played between the Moline and Daven-
port high teams at the Three-I league
park al Davenport.
The game will decide the tri-city
football championship and will very
likely rival any contest held in this
locality. Both teams are primed into
full season of victories.
About Evenly Matched.
The teams are about evenly match
ed. being about the same in weight
and both have proved 10 be speedy ag-
gregations. Both elevens have a num-
Der of old men in their line-ups. Cap

team and Kiel and Peterson are the
most feared of the men on the Pillow
City eleven. while the Iowa lads be-
lieve that with their stars. Rhodes at
right half, Thomson left half, Beider-

Davenport Prepared.
Langwith is the only man out of the

entirely of Chinese who have returned
to their country as alien citizens, and
have the unlimited right to re-estab-
lish their residence here The plan,
as it is alleged, is to sell the names
appearing on this list to Celestials and
thus allow them to use the names in
entering this country, coming here un.
der the guise of returning aliens
Whether the two delegates from
China have been successful in their
efforts to obtain the list and are now
On their way to China ready to begin
the fraudulent immigration campaign
cannot be definitely learned, and the
statements of Cinnamon who have
been approached by the alleged schem-
ers are at disagreement on the point.
While one believes they have secured
the list, another says they are still
seeking to get it and are increasing
their fee. {.
John w. Akana, one of the men ap-
preached, says he does not know how
the matter stands at this time He
affirms that the delegates came to him
some time ago offering to retain his
services in compiling the list on@ex-
animation, he says, he found tina:
there were more than 10000 Chinese
who have returned to their country
from here since 1880, and he there
upon informed the men that 1t would
be impossible for him to compile the
list within the short time desired He.
also intimated to them, he states, that
they were going to PUT it to an un-I
lawful use.
"The Cinnamon did not come to me
again after that" he declared this
morning ''They probably suspected
that would disclose their plan to the
officials / understand that they be-
gan negotiations with other persons
but with what success cannot say.
There seems to me no doubt but
that they plan to use the list to evade
the immigration law. I co not know
their names or where they came from.
But / am of the opinion that they rep
resent moneyed hui. Because OF the
disturbances in China there are un
doubtedly large number of China
men who would give big sum to get
out of their country and live in the
United States. So they would have
little trouble selling the list If once
in their possession.
Other Cinnamon expressed them
selves in a similar tone. They all pro-
fessed to be ignorant Of the names of
the schemers, their whereabouts or
whence they came. But they are in
agreement in the matter OF the
planned use of the isl. The federal
officials stated this morn
Ing that their attention had not been
called to the scheme OF the China
men.
