BIG AIRSHIP EXPLODED
Vwenty.eight German Officials Meet
With Sudden Death

Berlin, Oct. 17.-Twenty-eight per-
sons were killed today near Johannis.
thai in the explosion and fall of Count
Zeppelin's latest dirigible balloon, the
ILL.," The % men represented the
entire personnel of the admiralty
board, which was to conduct the final
trial of the dirigible looking to its &C.
ceptance by the government as a new
unit of the German aerial navy, the
pilot and crew and invited guests.
Every person that went aloft in the
big airship is dead.
Twenty-seven of them were killed
almost instantly by the explosion of
the gas in the baloonettes, or burned
to death as the flaming wreck fell to
the ground from a height of 900 feet,
and enveloped them. One man, a
guest of the admiralty board, was ex-
tricated alive from the mass of twist
ed wreckage. His eyes were burned
out and he suffered other terrible
hurts. Begging his rescuers to kill
him and end his sufferings, he was
taken to hospital, where he died
tonight.
The exact cause of the accident is
unknown. The dirigible had Just left
its shed and had traversed barely a
quarter of mile in the direction of
Berlin. Spectators suddenly saw
mighty pillar of fire shoot from the
middle of the balloon, and the next in
slant the craft was mass of flames,
plunging to earth, burying those who
were aboard beneath its wreckage.
Following so shortly on the disas-
ter of September 10, last, when
similar craft, just launched for the
navy I'LL" was destroyed in hurri-
cane with the loss of Is men, the
news of today's catasthrope has caus-

Wilson wrote Representative Under
wood, the majority leader of the
house today, expressing the opinion
that the currency bill would be report
ed to the senate not later than the
first week in November and passed
after two or three we.l; debate.
The president does not believe an
adjournment is possible but thinks
some agreement might be reached
with the minority in tile house for a
brief recess. The president is fully
confident Of considerable non-partisan
support for the bill and told callers
today he did not expect any change
affecting any Of the parts of the bill,
but rather, had found an unexpected
agreement on the fundamentals.
President Wilson has further clear
ed the path for currency reform leg
1slation in the senate through con-
terences with the republicans of the
senate committee now In charge of
the bill. AS a result of a conference

DRIF TING TOWARD A CRISIS
Developments in Mexico May Lead to
American Intervention

OSSS'0P"SUt8 III MEXICO way 6ea0 20
American Intervention
Washington, Oct. 15.-The Mexican
situation today was regarded by Of
ficials here as drifting toward crisis
with the United States awaiting HUI
erta's next move. The commanding
feature was the action Of the Spanish
minister in Mexico City, calling a
meeting of the diplomatic corps to
discuss Huerta's assumption of prac.
tical dictatorship. Administration
officials and diplomatists attached
significance to this action.
Publication of President Wilson's
latest note to Huerta attracted wide
attention for its brevity and forceful-
ness. The Mexican governments re-
ply was awaited with keenest interest.
Meanwhile all the agencies of the
government concerned in the situa.
tion were in constant and close COM
munication.
The instructions delivered by
Charge O'Shaugnessy to the author
tiles at Mexico City, defining the at.
titude of the United States toward
Huerta's assumption of dictatorship
was as follows:
"The president is shocked at the
lawlessness of the methods employed
by General Huerta and as sincere
friend of Mexico is deeply distressed
at the situation which has arisen. He
finds it impossible to regard other
wise than as an act of bad faith to-
ward the United States, Huerta's
course in dissolving the congress and
arresting the deputies.
ut is not only violation of con-
stitutional guarantees, but destroys
all possibility of a fair and free elec-
ton. The president believes that an
election held at this time under the
conditions now existing would have
none of the sanction with which law
surrounds the ballot and that the re-
suit, therefore, could not be regard
ed as representing the will of the
people.
"The president wou,d not feel JUS
titled in accepting the results of such
an election or in recognizing the pres.
ident so chosen"

Three-Cushion Champion
Thoroughbred

OF Alfredo de Orc. whom Joe Carney
of San Francisco will play for the
three cushion billiard championship in
October, it is said:
De Orc is the Latin through and
through. He's tense, nervous, brilliant.
Any game that they play with billiard
balls is religion to De Orc, and he is a
fanatic De Orc is the kind of man
who could lead a crusade.
In prize fighting they call man like
De ORC a gamester. He never knows
when he is beaten. oh, yes, he has
been beaten. but not often.
It's a study to watch De Orc in a
tight situation. In a pinch those lam
bent Andalusian eyes of his grow hard
and cold as a snakes watching a bird.
He's a-auiver. He chews the ends of
his mustachios until the spectators
imagine he will choke IL he doesn't
desist He is all alive; every nerve,
every fiber of him responds to the call
of his brain. And the best part of 1t
is that De Orc never breaks under a
strain.
De Orc is thoroughbred, every line
of him. You've seen a great race The
salient son Of thousand sires is at
the post. The blood of those sires
is coursing IN his veins. He's all nerve
and verve for the start The spectators
sometimes think that the great racer
will culver out of his hide. That's
the way 1t Is with De Orc. He's
thoroughbred through and through.

MAY Be SIZED Up
IN DOUBLE PLAYS
Eddie Collins, Athletics Sec.
ond Baseman, Acknowl-
edged Keystone King,
Has Some Rivals

Fans are not in the habit of running
their eyesight in studying the fielding
records of the major league players,
and there are few members of the
Baseball Writer'S Association of Amer
lea who build up feature stories re-
garding the defensive work. of the pas
timers.
Eddie Collins, guardian for the
Wh1te Elephants of the middle cushion,
Is acknowledged by all experts to be
the keystone king Of the American
league, but when any authority sets
out to prove that the Columbia gradu-
ate Is the peer of his CONTEMPORARIES
he never rushes to the guide books for
statistical information on the subject.
A good way to find out how swift a
helder is, some persons think, is to
take the number of double plays a
man starts. Up to July / the American
leaguers had rid their systems of $50
dual killings, the man who started
most of them being Collins. He took
the initiative in 16 Of his teams two
ply massacres.
The Johnsonite's swiftest shortstop,
according to the performances in the
double play league, is Ray Chapman of
the Maps. He inaugurated a. dozen
plays that resulted in the retirement
Of pair OF runners.
CHAPMAN AND COLLINS
In figuring Chapman's speed as an
lnaugurator of double plays, it should
be remembered that he has been often
absent from the Maps lineup because
OF injuries, and it is possible that had
ne played all season long, as has Col
lns, he would now have started just
as many two ply killings.

thus far this season neither man has

SHOTTEN'S RECORD
Shotten has taken the initiative in

indicate that he has been making just

Miss Nichols, a 10 Year Old
Wins Maiden Race That
Leads to Official
Inquiry

The ghost Of "The Fiddler, mos'
noted of all ringers" in American turf
history. hovered over the Mineral
Springs course during the running OF
a race when Miss Nichols, 10 year
old mare came down the stretch ar
easy winner over a poor field in hVe
furlongs dash for dogs, goats and
other nonwinners of a purse at any
time or any racetrack.
So strange did the resurrection OF
Miss Nichols look that the judges,
wishing to be on the same side, de-
layed making the result official until
a further identification of the winner
could be had
While no cognizance is taken of any
betting by the judges, STILL as pro-
tectionary precaution, in addition to
the identity of Miss Nichols, 1t was
decided not to pay Bagley brothers
her owners, the purse until 1T was as
sured that the second horse would not
claim first money because OF the
inegibility of the one first past the
post.
This will not affect wagers, oral or
otherwise made on the race, but any
such will be settled as the horses fin
ished and as carried by Daily Racing
Form.
