ONLY Ten MAJOR
LEAGUE STARS IN
ACTION II SEASONS
TINKER AND MATHEWSoN MOSl
PROMINENT OF THE STAR
PLAYERS OF LONG AGO.

Or moro than lao baseball players
who were active as big leaguers eleven
years ago, when the National and
American Leagues began their season,
only ten were in action as players
during the past season. Not one of
Dodgers Of elevel years ago La in
the teams lineup now, and the Phil
lies. Braves and Cardinals contain
names unknown in the major leagues
a decade ago.
At the present time none of the ten
stars of eleven years ago is more
prominently in the public eye than
joe Tinker. Although he has since
changed from the spangles of the Cubs
and has been shelved as manager of
the Reds. Tinker's services are in such
demand that he set a record price of
$500 when Charlie Ehbets entered
that bid for his release during the
recent National League meeting.
Another veteran who still sticks to
the big show without making apollo
giles for his age is Christy Mathewson.
The Giants leader in pitching SKIN
was the opening day twirler eleven
years ago, and It Is doubtful whether
he was as good as during the worlds
series of 1913 with the Athletics.
Pittsburgh had Hans Wagner and
Tommy Leach in those days, and both
are Stlll III harness., although Leach
has been shifted to the Cubs. In field
ing. batting and base running. Leach
was among the league leaders of 1913.
and he has a season or two OF top
notch base ball left In him. The change
from third base to the outfield gave
Leach the needed lease on life.
But One Remains.
OF the National hague who took
part An the opening games eleven
years ago there is only one more still
listed as q big Lacquer. He is Sam
Crawford. then a Red outflelder. He
went from the Ohio metropolis to De-
son of 1913 with the Tigers took up
world series work with the White Sox
and is now touring the world. OF the
veterans few, II any. have shown such
tenacity In sticking to the front as
cleanup batsman. His hitting has
been so consistently good that already
there is talk Of converting him into a
first baseman when he shows signs OF
slowing up as an outflelder.
The Athletics had Larry LaJoie at
second base, but since then the ia
nous larruper has been located in
Cleveland where he served q term as
manager Lajoie has shown evidences
of slipping. but he is still superior to
many Of the younger stars and Is like
ly to hold on for another season at
least in the big show.
Another time honored name in base
ball, Bobby Wallace. does not figure
as prominently as 1t did a few years
go. but that grand infielder appeared

For weeks the Cubs had been prac-

M|L|TANTS BURN
TWO MANSIONS
AND FIRE THIRD
Valuable Paintings and Ancient
Furniture Destroyed-"WeI-
come for LlOyd-GeOrge."

s GLASGOW, Scotland Feb. A.
Three destructive fires, the work of
suffragette larson squads caused
heavy damage today in the neigh
borhood of the Perthshire village of
Comrie, famous for it's Druidical and
Roman ruins
The first fire was discovered in a
drawing room of Aberuchill castle.
Servants, awakened by the thick
smoke, extinguished the blaze after
number of valuable pictures and
some ancient furniture had been de-
stroyed.
Shortly afterward another magnifi-
cent mansion, the House of Ross
which was temporarily unoccupied
was found to be on fire. The flames
had secured a strong hold before
they were discovered, and the house
was consumed with all its contents
Plenty of evidence was found in the
vicinity of Aberuchill Castle to indi-
cate that the fires were the work of
suffragettes.
A third case of arson occurred in
Perthshire later in the day, when
Saint Fillans, fine mansion, was de-
stroyed. The house was the property
of Stirling Boyd, whose wife was for
merely president and is now vice-pres-
ident of the Anti-Suffrage League OF
Edinburgh.
A placard was left on the ground in
scribed "a warm welcome to Lloyd
George" the reference being to his
arrival in Scotland to make speech.

De Mott to Pitch in His
Own Town Next Season

MADISON Feb. 4.-Conjectures
regarding the intentions of Madison
with, regard to baseball this year are
many. 1t is, however, most authori-
tatively stated that the efforts of
several powerful baseball enthusiasts
are being directed toward the sup
porting of a professional team
this year. For several years past
a strictly amateur team has been run
but it's support was doubtful as it
failed in some instances to stimulate
the zeal of baseball lovers. Harrison
DeMott, who has spent several sea-
sons in the big leagues, having twirl-
ed for Cincinnati Baltimore and who
last year pitched successfully for the
New Haven team, is a resident of
this town ard it is the intention of
the promoters, If possible, to retain
his services this year. Other ball
tossers of good repute can be secured
in neighboring towns.

Only Woman Senator Sued
by Press Agent for Equal
Division of Lecture Profits

NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-Miss Helen
Ring Robinson, the only woman SEN
ator, beat General Rosalie Jones's
best time to Albany yesterday. But
the senator had a city marshal as a
pacemaker.
At IL o'clock a judgment by default
for sl42 claimed by her press agent
was entered against the senator. She
went straight to the McAlpin, packed
up and caught the 12:40 train for
Albany.
The marshal was poor second. He
didn't get to the hotel until $3.50. He
had an execution allowing him to at
tach SAP worth of the senator's prop
erty.
The marshal wore a harassed eX-
preston until he learned that the
senator had departed for Albany.
Then he seemed relieved, because it
wouldn't be necessary for him to de-
eide just how much of a woman SEN
ator's wardrobe was s142 worth.
Miss Helen Duey, who managed
Senator Robinson's recent speaking
trip on so per cent. basis, is the
press agent suing the senator. Miss
Duey says it was so per cent. of the
gross receipts. The senator says 1t
was 80 per cent. net, and after de-
Quoting her fare back to Denver she
had just $3.50 to show for two months
work.
Miss Duey's lawyer says she wants
something more than 81. Is and expert
ence. Then he darkly accused the
senator of gubernatorial aspirati ons.
Here is the schedule of receipts in
the speechmaking tour which Melted
$4.30:
Yonkers, 1875; Poughkeepsie, $3.50;
Jersey City, $3.50; Chester, Pa, SO;
Haverford. Pa. $11; weeks tour of
Pennsylvania. $3.50, and tour of
New York and Connecticut $50. 35.
After that the senator's stock went
up and she delivered six lectures at
$25 apiece.
Miss Duey says that the senator
still later filled an engagement at
SIS, which she doesn't mention at all.
And that's why Miss Duey says the
senator owes her $142
