BIG ED REULBACH, FAMOUS
 "CUB" PITCHER, S1 TODAl

Big Ed Reulbach, whose long and glorious career as a Cub slab artiEt ended last August when Mister Mur- phy swapped him to Brooklyn. was born in Detroit thirty-one years ago today, Dec. II, 1892 The giant huri- CT whose good right arm helped to win four National League pennant and two worlds flags for the Chicago club be- gan playing regular baseball at the age of seventeen, when he twfried for the Manual training school team of St. Louis. Later he entered Notre Dame University, where he put 90 much stuff on the pill as to attract the attention of some of the minor league managers. In 1soSs during the Summer vacation he Joined the Be- dalia, Mo, professional club, in the Missouri Valley League. Largely due to Big Eds pitching and stick work, Seda1ia ran away from the other teams in the circuit, and grabbed the pen nant by a margin of nearly zoo points over the next nearest club. Tn addi- ton to pitching almost perfect ball, Ed batted over 300 for Eedalia, a feat he never repeated in fast company. Az he was then a. college student, Reui- bach pitched for SedaIia. under the name of Lawson. The following Sum mer he returned to the professional diamond. again taking an assumed name, and played with Montpeher. in the Mountain State League. That year he had been captain as well az fhe star twirler of the Notre Dame nine. When Chicago began to dicfer for Reu1bach it was decided that he be- longed to Sedalia, and the. Cub man agement bought his release from Ehs Missouri town. Mordecaf Three FTnEered'' Brown had been secured by the Cubs the previous year. 1904 and in 1906 the Chicago pitching stan was further bolstered up by the acquigi- ton of Orvfe Overall, John PheTtsr and Frank Pfeffer, and in 1906 the Chicago Nationals won their first pen nant in twenty years. They repeated in 1907, 1908 and 1910, and RsuIhach twirled his full share Of the winning games each year. He was at his bsgt. however in 19Oss when he pitched forty-siv games and patted. 222s which was his high record with the stick in the major league. After that he be- gan to lose his batting eye, and in 1911 his average was only -0S0. Reul- bach's legal name is Edward Marvin. but his six feet two inches of prawny stature early won for him the soPr1- quet of Big Ed.''

Giants Star Anxious To Land Job As Manager Of
 Cincinnati

It was rurnored yesterday that Chas. either the Reds or the Pirates. Herzog would like to be traded to the Reds and figures that if a, deal is put through in which he goes to Cincinnati he will be made manager of the team Herzog had a long conference with President Hampstead and John Foster at the meeting. The New York club iss willing to trade the third baseman, but wants Tinker in return
 Secretary Foster said yesterday that the Konetchy deal stood about on the same footing as when 1t WAS first pro- posed two years ago. There may be some consolation for the fans in the fact that Miller Huggins said yester day that Fred Merkle and Fred 5nod- grass were two good players But the Little Rabbit failed to say that ne would trade Konetchy for them.

 FOR MERIDEN BALL CLUB Annex Refused $500 Guarantee To Play Remin9ton=Yost Eleven Here

Harlem Tommy Murphy and Willie Ritchfe was called off on account of rain. The promoter had arranged to have the affair in an open air park and was so confident of his luck that he refused to hire a covered rink. No new date has been set for the fight.
 The Blue Ribbons have made their poorest start in years and the basket ball fans cannot understand it. Man ager Leavy must get into the game himself if his team expects to make a respectable showing. Leavy has a good eye for the basket and shooting is the Ribbons weak point just now. It is hoped that the team will get go- ing when it. meets the GIenbrook five in Colonial hall next Tuesday night. Beards1ey will be back in the Ribbon lineup.
 Charley Murphy, president of the Chicago National league club, arrived home from Europe yesterday and inn mediately announced that his team would win the pennant in 1914. He declared he would go higher than any other club to secure Joe Tinker.
 South Norwa1k is making an eff ort to secure franchise in the New York New Jersey league and it has narrow J Donovan's stamping ground and Perth Anboy, N. J. The league voted to change it's name t6 the Eastern league yesterday but the National association may not allow this because it might conflict with the Eastern association.
 The Federal league will place a club in New York next season. The outlaws are evidently determined to give the majors a fight but they should remember that small leagues have never been success in New York.
 It looks as if Pop Anson will get a pension from the National league. Garry Hermann of Cincinnati pro- posed the plan at the meeting yester- day. New York and Philadelphia are in favor and the matter will be set tied before the magnates adjourn. An son stuck to the National league dur ing the war with the Brotherhood and he should be rewarded.

19O3-Jack Johnson defeated Sandy Ferguson in 20 rounds at Colma- This was the third bout within the year between the Bostonian and the negro, In the first engagement, at Boston, Jack had the shade, and the second affair, in Philadelphia, was about even. Jack was unable to land a. Knockout in the Colma fight, and had to be con tent with a decision. Sandy Ferguson was one of the most promising of the contenders for the heavyweight crown at the beginning of the present cen tury. In 1905 he fought Johnson again, and kept on even terms with the black until he lost on a foul. Ferguson lost his chance at the big title by indulging too freely in booze and other dissip pations.

The new magnates have closed the deal for the club and are considering several offers from cities which want the franchise. New Brit ain, North Adams, Ho1yole and North ampton have made bids. The Staten Island residents are prepared to spend money and claim they will have a good ball club.
 Manager Keenan of the Remington Yost football eleven declares he made every effort to get the Annex team to come here before he finally agreed to go to New Haven. He offered 2 tn e visitors a guarantee of $500 with 8 privilege of 50 per cent. of the gate. This is the largest football guarantee ever offered in this city. Yesterday morning Manager Spillane agreed in a, telephone talk to bring his team here but the Annex players repudiated this and flatly refused to come. Al though the Annex cannot. be consid- cred a state team and therefore is not in the running for the cham pionsl1ip, it has an array of college stars who are a team in themselves. An effort is being made to get the Remington band from the plant in 11ion, N. r. Coach Mccormack wants every man on hand for practice tonight and no excuses will be accepted.

for the people interested to have got ten together. the city council. the chamber of commerce.. the federal ''f- f,ciais and some representative mcr- chants. and frtmed up identical re- ports us to the actual and true state of affairs. One telegram to the gov ernor of Alaska, one to the depart ments and representatives concerned in Washington and one to the press of the United States which would have shown that from the highest federal ofiiciat to the poorest citizen as re- presented by the council the people of Nome were of one mind, would have had & vastly better effect than half dozen telegrams from half E dozen different sources making half a dozen different statements as to con- ditions.
 It is Il great pity that such course could not have been followed. It would have been far better and would have netted the town far more in the way of results, which after all Is what we are after. had everybody pulled together.
 1T anything at all is responsible for the failure, if we have failed to get what we wnnt, 1t Is the lack of pull ing together for 1t. It may not bc too Into yet to all heave on the same line.

Just long enough to get T regiment of regular soldiers to the spot. The riot act would be read ONCE. Then if the mob did not des- nurse there would be bayonet and bull lot.
 Enslishmen and Americans do nos n n rule shoot into crowd of women. These English militants know that and take advantage of 1t. They want to he treated like men--up to certain po,nt--they do not want to be shot down in the streets like men guilty of tho same crimes would be. If it is right that women should vote if will come. But 1t will not come through the cowardly tactics Of des- troying the property of others and in- nocent persons.
 The English have had quite It, tie time with Mrs. Emaiine Pank- hurst. They are probably glad to get rid of her for a while. But our of- nctais are quite right in shipping her back. We have quite enough unde' sirabie trouble makers from Europe over here as 1t is.

It is reported that Mrs. Pankhurst, the English suffragette is to be de- ported. in other words. she is moi wanted In the United States. she is undesircd. Quite right They don't want her in England or anywhere else She is .a trouble maker and an enemy nf law and order. If she were n man she would be serving n life sentence for conspiracy, if sh, had not already been shot by the police or soldiers. Whether the cause she represents Is just or not is beside the question. Whether women should vote or not is a matter which must and will hc de- cided at the polls. If 1t is right that women be given the franchise they will get it. But they wilt never get Il chance to make the laws by pcrsistant- ly breaking them. No person. man or woman. who has not enough resprcs for law to kesp 1t should he considered in the making of law.
 If Mrs. Pankhurst and her crowd had been Englishmen instead of En. glish women they would have been shot down in the streets for melting to riot. That is the law. But these women who are clammerins for ' share In lawmaking will not keep the laws already made. What Is more they deliberately break the law know ing full we'll that their sex will pro
 tect them from the result of their acts.
 Such conduct is not. as these women
 vaInly suppose. brave. IL is cowardiy Ito the last degree. They claim equal rights with men and then they rely on their sex to save them from the
 results of riot and the destruction oi
 property. They know that they will
 not be treated like men and they Itakc advantage of the fact {" kill and
 burn and riot. They want the rights

NOME. ALASKA, OCTOBER 20. ts,:

The sit,lnt ion in regard to the relief that Nome needs is not as happy as 1t might be. This is not time to wander around in the realm of theories because that will not do any good. The fact seems to stare us In the face that somewhere something in the scheme of things slipped on the relief proposltion. Just how this slip came about is a matter of opinion. Certain it is that no one ever intended any thing but the best interests of Nome in anything that they did.
 The NUGGET dh not approve of inc way things started. The NUGGET cid not hesitate to say that 1t dio not approve. But the fact does mol necessarily nuke the NUGGET right and every one else wrong. There were others. just as much interested in Nome as is the NI-GGEr and they had d different idea about how things should he done and their idea prevail ed. The NUGGET then gave it's sup port to the plan ns arranged and VIII continue to support any plan for inc b+tterment anL prosperity of Nome.
 There arc one or two very unfor- tunatc things in connection with me appeal fur relief The first and most serious is that when tho first teie- grams were sent nut they were nor a,l acnt from the samo source. That is they were not all vised by some central committee which would nave seen md corrected any Inconsistencies fin tho accounts of the damage and re- quests for ai1.
 It is unfortunate for instance tha' enc telegram should go outside say ing that there was gr'at dest't"'"' in Nome. dcstitution meaning th'' peop,c were without food or she"er or proper clothing. md that on thS heels of this should go another mes sage saying that there was no dcs''- fulton. Tho statements were contra 
 a,ctorv and most naturally the peo- plc on the outside began [" w"hoer' If wos more unfortunate even thar after the appeals for assistance hau been sent that they were Immediately followed by messages saying that there were plenty of provisions and that ontv money was needed. That nt once created suspicion.
 It is known that offers of help Tn the way of food md lumber were made and then withdrawn when word came that only cold cnsh was wanted in Nomc. We rcalixc that it is bcite' to buy what Is needed in the wny ot s,po,ies right here. Iatronizc home industries is right and proper. They must he patronize,l and supported. ah" yet 1t didn't sound good u the fellow outside to he informed, that people m Nome werr destitute and then {" u" told iI,at they only wani'd nancy. E doesn't ss,ind right tn nsk for charity and then to draw up specifications as to the particular brand of charity that will bc acceptable. Such course would put crimp tn any appeal for relief and it seems t0 hnvc rut crimr in Ncmc's.
 The whole n,eth"d was illadvised ma ns Il matter of fact rather small The b,x. broad. manly wny to have handled the affair would have been

New Jersey elects its assembly anew
each wear In the autumn OF 1911
Governor Wilson went before the peo-
pie to ask for the return of men
pledged to sustain the accomplished
legislation and to support what further
progressive measures should come UP.
For the first time n primary was held
under the Geran law. The Smith-Nu-
gent influence was frantically exerted
everywhere to nominate anti Wilson
men. 1t failed failed uttcrly-every
where except in Essex county, the
home Of the ex-senator and his lieuten-
ant. For the first time Geran law
convention was held. The Wilson men
controlled it. \ sound platform was
adopted. In Essex the Smilh-Nugent
machine won the primary, nominating
p ticket expressly chosen in antagO-
nlsm to the governor.
in the campaign that followed Gov
ernOT Wilson visited every county I'm
the state except Essex. He Cancelled
his engagement for that county, rcfus-
ing TO ask support for the Smith ticket.
The result OF the election has been
twisted by opponents Of Mr.. Wilson
into a defeat for him. 1t was, in fact.
a signal victory, striking indorSe-
ment. In all the state outside Essex.
In the counties, that Is, where he asked
support for Democratic candidates for
the assembly, their majorities aggre-
gated So votes more than they did the
previous year. when the state was
ablaze with the excitement OF a gubcr-
Material campaign. In Essex, which
he refused to visit; in Essex, where the
Democratic candidates were pledged
anti-Wilson men, the. Democratic vote
fell off 1900 and the Republicans won.
