is that the bacilli of the turtle, being q

Fortress Of Silistria,

Should Roumania persuade Bulgaria
to hand over Silistria as "compensa-
ton" for her mastery inactivity dur
ing the war she will have secured an
almost impregnable fortress. Over
and over again Silistria has been at
tackled and taken, but since the Rus
slams last captured the city her forti-
fications have been regarded as invul-
nerable. BY the congress Of Berlin it
was decided that the forts should be
demolished: but. like some more i'm

A prediction may safely be made that
In the near future provision will be
made for moving pictures in the home.
When man decides to build a house
to cost. say, $4,000 or more, the ar
chitect will plan the picture room, in
which the family and their guests can
enjoy select program Of latest pro-
auctions. 1t may be in connection with
a dancing room. or it can be accom-
plished in much less space.
A projecting machine suitable for the
films will doubtless be delivered each
week by companies organized for that
special purpose. Travellers returning
from abroad will find pictures Of cities
and scenes they have visited wonder
full help in reciting to friends and rel
atives incidents of the places they have
visited.
Another new industry which will
soon come into existence in all the lar
ger cities will be film photography.
Children's birthdays. garden parties.
weddings and other functions which in
later days or years recall pleasant
memories. will thus be perpetuated by
the Aim photographer. He will event
ually be considered as much neces-
sity as the orchestra. Undoubtedly
one of the most acceptable wedding
presents in days to come from parents
to bride and groom will be set Of
progressive films showing the children
as they advanced from infancy to high
school days. AS feature of the we'd

Pirate Players In
Big Land Swindle

ST. LOUIS, Oct. Numerous big
league baseball players believe they
have been swindled as a result OF the
indictments charging Thomas H.
Smart and eleven associates with
using the mails to defraud in dispos-
ing of building lots in New Jersey.
Among the big league stars APP
preached by the New Jersey real es-
tate dealers were Hans Wagner, Cy
Falkenburg and Pitcher Hendrix.
George Stovall, former manager of
the Browns. was approached, but did
not buy. The land agent told the
players he wished to use their we'll
known names lin order that our COM
pany may get the benefit of the pub
hcity from your prestige"
The lots which were named in the
indictment were said to be part of a
New York suburb, but are in reality
a swamp, the indictment charged.
When Manager Fred Clarke, of the
Pittsburg CLUB, read about the Fed
eral indictments at the Planters H1-
tel, he hustled around to see some Of
the vested landlords of the Pirates.
The New Jersey people who wished
to sell the lots to ball players APP
preached Clarke. One OF the things
Clarke has been doing for a dozen
years is rounding up Kansas lands,
and he owns about 1000 acres. Clarke
did not buy.

Chick Gandill to Get
$4,000 For 8 Years

WASHINGTON, Oct At devel-
oped yesterday that "Chick" Gandil,
the Nationals first baseman, had af-
fixed his signature to a three-year
contract. The figures we're not made
public, but it is understood that he is
to receive SIS, 900 for his services dur
ing this period.
Outside of Walter Johnson, Gandil
has been the biggest asset to the
Washington club. He was purchased
during the playing season last year
from the Montreal club, for a sum
around the $500 mark GandiPs
work with the local organization has
been nothing short of sensational. He
filled the biggest gap, both often
sively and defensively. A great field
err Gandil is even more valuable as
a hitter Individually, he has won
more games with his stick than any
other member OF Griffith's forces.
There is no question but what Gan
dill received an increase over his for
mer salary. The players salaries are,
as a rule. never made public. 1t is a
precedent esta blished in baseball The
signing of Gandil takes a burden off
Manager Grifhth's shoulders. The
first sacker was never a hold-out. He
thought he was deserving of more
money, and he certainly was.

Thompson Ridicules
Attack By English

Special Cable to The American.
LONDON, Oct. 4.-Colonel Robert
Thompson, whose connection with the
American Olympic team is well
known, gave to-day his opinion of
Guy Nickalls' attack on American
sportsmen.
"Nickalls says that American ell
bows won more races at Stockholm
than American legs" commented
Colonel Thompson. MY rejoinder is
If any elbow work was done it must
have been between Americans, f)-
with the solitary exception of the
1900 meter race the English cOmpeti-
tors never were near enough to be
elhowed.
81 am tired of this kind of talk ami
am surprised that it should emand.e
from such a once-famous oarsman
But ii is a curious coincidence that
these attacks are confined almost *
clusively to the rowing section here
which is comnosed of rich young mer,
who spend more for their coaches and
training than We - for all our
sports"

little wonder that professionals will
play the ball that has the biggest
bonus attached to il, rather than the
one they like best.
McDermott was appointed by sew
eral firms when ne was in the line
for the title of this country, but he
refused to give up the ball used by the
Massachusetts amateur champion in
his State, national and open golf this
year. 1t was the same ball that Tom
Mcnamara won the Metropolitan
open and Massachusetts open with
in two consecutive years, and as the
latter player is the golf salesman Of
firm manufacturing many kinds of
balls there could be only the best
ball" reason for playing it in the in
stance mentioned.
Take Advantage of Opportunities.
Professionals would be foolish not
to take advantage Of opportunities to
pick UP money this way as well as
setting a figure on their play in pro-
fessional matches. The demand for
Ray and Vardon exhibitions may not
be as numerous as would have been
the case had they won, for first and
second money at the head of the best
American field ever assembled would
have made them wonderful drawing
cards.
Estimates from $4,000 to 5000 are
spoken Of in everyday conversation of
what the Englishmen may pick up by
their play in this country. Golf is
here to stay, Vardon won every match
but one that he played in this coun-
try, including the open championship
in 1900. and why shouldn't wealthy
clubs and eXtravagant golfing COM
mittees pay well to see worlds cham
pions in action.
It was reported that the National
course, whose nucleus for member
ship is made up of fifty millionaires
refused to put up purse Of S40O for
an exhibition, but the Englishmen
didn't come down in their price, say
ing they had about all the exhibition
dates scheduled ahead that they coulo
fill.
5ritons to Play at Chicago.
Chicago is to have a glimpse OF the
notables when Chick" Evans and
Warren K. Wood, past and present
Western amateur champions, will
play a foursome with them.
Naturally the amateurs are not 60
ing to try to get any money. 1t
would end their amateur rating. and
it is also a cinch that the Englishmen
are not going to go TO Chicago, down
South, and all over the lot for their
health.
There were many bets made at the
Country Club Saturday, one of the
best being a 10 to l shot that Tom
Stevenson took for 500, thereby win
ming a thousand dollars by Ouimet's
fine play.
The chances of the amateur against
two veterans, where he was sand
wiched in, and the odds more than
to ! against him, makes the result
appear all the more remarkable This
fact was the cause of much ash bet
ting and bets from to up to 10 to
were heard on all sides. Thousands
changed hands.

BY w. j. McReth-

NEW YORK, Oct. 4.-The worlds
~ series is with us once again.
On Tuesday the Giants and
Athletics hook up in the first scrap
of the annual diamond classic Both
are worthy of the great honor and
capable of giving a very good account
irrespective of victory,
As the popular pastime on the eve
of such an event is to prophesy the
result the writer will stick in an oar
while the going is good. l think the
Giants should win, though would not
advise any of my friends to bet too
heavily on the opinion. Closest OBJ
servation of the prospective rivals
discloses the fact that they are just
about as evenly matched as any pair
that ever grappled for the highest
honors Of the pastime.
However, firmly believe New York
should win and win as easily as did
the Athletics last time these teams
met in 1911 Connie Mack has the
stronger club, perhaps, outside the
pitchers. But the crafty pilot of the
White Elephants will be sorely put to
it for reliable box meL He has only
two veterans, Bender and Plank, ca
pable of shouldering the burden with
any fair degree of success. These
two may or may not be on edge at
the present moment. 1t is a fact that
Connie had to work them too much
in his fight for the pennant They
have rested up we'll the past several
weeks, but can they come bacl; any
where near so strong as in 1911?
q CERTAINLY the two added years
have not improved the cunning
Of Bender's good right arm or the
trickery of Plank's port-side sling.
Jack Coombs, who figured so promi-
nently against the Cubs in 1910 and
against the Giants in 1911 has passed
out so far as next weeks action is
concerned. Mack Is in identicaIly the
same fix as was McGraw when they
met before He has only two sea-
soned pitchers. The little Napoleon
has four and a phenomenal recruit
besides-Al Demaree, who tops the
National League pitchers.
The Athletics must be considered
very dangerous customers. They
form an aggregation of sluggers that
will worry the best of pitchers
American League rivals this year
have scored many runs against the
Athletics, but could not hold in check
the willows Of the Mackmen | do not
think in the Johnson circuit there
was SuCli a classy HuTilnB corps as
McGraw can muster. In such a short
series pitching is perhaps the most
decided factor and that ] figure
should give the Giants a great chance
for the worlds championship.

marvel of the mound has just COM

from the Herreshoffs for q syndicate
composed of Cornelius Vanderbilt.
Frederick G. Bourne, Arthur Curtis
James. ]. P. Morgan, Henry Walters
and George F. Baker. Jr. This boat
will be handled by Robert w. En-
mons, Jr., of Boston. a prominent
amateur yachtsman.
G. NJ. Pynchon. the owner of the Is
talena, is trying TO arrange to build
another boat at Herreshoffs, but SO
far has not been able to interest
enough yachtsmen in the scheme.
There is also talk of a Boston boat.
However, there always is talk of a
Boston boat But since the Volun-
teer way back in 1887, no Boston boat
except the Independence, built by
Thomas W. Lawson, has been built
for cup defense.
While at the beginning of the talk
about cup defense it was announced
that Herreshoff would only take an
order for one boat, IL turns out this
was untrue Herreshoq. it seems, has
drawn plans for two boats, and the
Cornelius Vanderbilt syndicate had
the option of either design 1t prefer
red, and the second choice will be
rendered to the Pvnchon or any other
syndicate that will place an order for
a boat with the Bristol firm.
Others Should Get Chance.
This is all right. as Nat Herreshoff
is the master yacht builder of the
world, and everyone would like TO see
both of these boats built: but, out
side of this, some of the members of
the New York Yacht Club and yachts
men generally would like to see Will
liam Gardner, Henry Gielow or some
other designer get chance to build
a boat.
Not only this. but they would also
like to see a boat sailed by young
Addison Hanan, who is without doubt
the best amateur yachtsman in the
country. and, next to the late Charlie
Barr, the best skipper that ever han
died a tiller
At the starting line young Hanan,
on more than one occasion, beat out
Barr, but over a course the little
Scotchman had a little the better of
the Port Chester Corinthian.
Flsnan Best of Shippers.
Now that Barr is dead, Hanan is
unquestionahly the best yacht skipper
in the country, even if he is an anna
teur. He is also a capable designer,
as his Glass P yacht Jose thine. built
from his own lines, beat all of the
Class p boats this year. 1t even ex-
cepting the Herreshof boats.
This being the case, yachtsmen
would be glad to see a boat designed
and sailed by young Hanan come to
the line for the trial races, and they
believe that il such a boat were built
and sailed as she would be, even
Herreshoff might have to look to his
laurels.

return to the magnificent form
that made his tour of America
in 1900 a thing to be treasured
in golfng tradition.

AT the Brookhaven course of the Cap
ital City Country Club. Galleries ap-
proximating a thousand spectators
played here.
Professionals Well Paid.
It is much of a question just what
the big professional golfers get for
playing their favorite game. That they
are highly rewarded-some of them
richly so--is certain. While recog-
ni2ed as a gentleman's sport, IL has
many sides that may be turned to
profit and remarkable incomes are be-
ing made from golf.
Edward Ray, who was one of the
great trio in the triple tie play off, re-
marked that even though he finished
third he had made $500 in last weeks
tournament at Brookline.
As it was generally known that he
had made three 5000 bets that he
would make or break sixty-nine while
here (Which he lostl this means that
81 400 was in evidence, including the
800 prize offered as third money.
All golfers like to have a little
something on the side when playing
a match, and the fact that Vardon and
Ray must have left a little tip at home
for their friends to follow was borne
out when a cable arrived at the club
house on the night after the qualify
ing round, announcing that there was
$4,000 in London ready to go up at
to odds that one of the two notable
Englishmen would win the United
States title.
This was showing great confidence
In the two worlds champions, as there
were 10 players comprising the pest
talent that ever competed in this
country on hand. The odds would
seem to be about so to / at the start
Of the fight, so that to at golf was
conservative odds for the Britons to
ask.
Significant Remark.
When Ray says he finished $500 to
the good it has a note of significance
attached 1t might mean that his SIDE
bets had aggregated nearly treble
what the first prize offered for win
ming the championship was, FOR II
Francis Ouimet were a professional
ne could collect but $500 cash instead
Of receiving plate.
1t has been known that certain golf
ball manufacturers would pay large
sums of money to have champion
use their ball, and as this avenue OF
revenue is open and aboveboard it is
