GOSSIP OF THE SPORTS.

(By Jake Lewis. Official Scorer.)
Word is received from Omaha that
Umpire Jack Haskell is threatened
with an attack of blood poisoning in
one of his feet. The information
claims that the toe was injured by a
pitched ball in a game at Wichita and
further claims that this injury pre-
vented him from working recently in
Topeka. Low balls are not to Has
kell's liking. How about high balls.
you ask? Well!
Barney Dreyfuss, owner of the
Pittsburg Pirates. has asked for
waivers on Marty O'Toole. The pitch
er was bought from st. Paul in 1911
for $22,5OO. This is the record price
in baseball. O'Toole never has shown
up to expectations, and this season
his work has been miserable. In all
his career with the Pittsburg club he
has proved to be q bigger lemon than
Rube MarQuard during the latter's
first few years with the New York
club.
1t is reported that q number of
clubs have refused to waive on
O'Toole and he may be turned over
to some Of the other major league ag-
gregations. In the event that such
occurs. O'Toole may make a good
showing. Such things have occurred
and may occur again.

MOUNT VESUVIUS
AGAIN IN ERUPTION
inhabitants i'm Its Vicinity Have Be-
come Greatly Alarmed and
Special Prayers Are offered

Naples, via Rome, Nov. .
Mount Nesuvius is again i'm erup-
ton and the inhabitants in its vicin-
ity have become greatly alarmed. On
Sunday special prayers were made
and professions of people went to
favored shrines as repetition of the
disaster of 1906 is feared.
The activity of the volcano first
manifested itself by deep detona-
tons and rumblings. This was fol-
lowed by gigantic columns of smoke
and soon thereafter an abundant
eruption of lava began.
The last serious eruption of Mount
Vesuvius occurred in the spring OF
1906. Several villages were DESTROY
ed and the property loss was esti-
mated at s20,OOO.OOG. About 500
persons were killed and $4,000 were
rendered homeless. Many nations,
especially the United States. sent aid
to the sufferers.
There have been several eruptions
since 1906, but all were of a minor
character and no serious losses re-
suited.
