Joe GRIM, HIS MIND GONE,
OUT OF GAME FOREVER
Was One of Promoters Of Virginia
and Other Base Ball
Leagues.
Correspondence of The Star.


LYNCHBURG, Va, January 10, 1914.
j. ]. Grim, who for many years was
one of the best known minor league
base ball slen in the country, and who
was confined nearly a year ago in the
Southwestern State Hospital at Marion.
is now regarded there as hopeless, and
the belief is expressed that, unless
something very unusual and unexpect-
ed occurs, Grim will spend the remainder
of his days in that institution.
Grim's troubles date back several
years. for after he took charge of the
Petersburg ball team, when it was
transferred from Portsmouth in 1910.
he had to relinquish the team that fall,
and the next eighteen months were
spent in a private sanatorfum near his
home in Cincinnati. He recovered his
ing charge of the Newport News team
in 1912.
Here he met reverses, and, after losing
several thousand dollars, quit.
Placed Under Restraint.
From that time his mind began to
give away, until about a year ago it
was declared necessary to place him in
Jail to prevent him doing violence to
his wife and her mother. A commission
of lunacy found him insane, and he was
removed to Marion. Since that time he has
failed to respond to treatment, and the
hospital physicians are at loss to
ascertain either the cause or the char
acter Of his trouble.
Grim has taken on much flesh, and
physically he is we'll, but 1t seems now
that he can never again be liberated.
He is so violent that 1t is necessary to
watch him continually, it is said. He
spends most of his time writing letters
relative to the operation of a base ball
team, being under the impression that
, these are sent out for him by his at
tendants.
Grim was one of the original promot-
ers of the present Virginia League. and
in two seasons and a half made about
$4,000 off the Lynchburg franchise He
was one of the organizers of the South
Atlantic League and the Union Associ-
alton, and of the old Virginia Carolina
League, from which the present North
Carolina League came

Country Club of Blue Island, ILL.,, while

amateur event. which is Americas golf
classic. Three clubs wanted the event,
the others being the Mayfield Country
Club of Cleveland and the Country Club
Of Detroit. Each of the three clubs had
representatives present to praise the good
qualities of its course, but the words of
James L. Taylor of Ekwanok, who is
known as the Duke Of Manchester, car
ried the event to his club. The Manches-
ter course has never been the scene of a
championship, but it is one Of the best
In the east, and Mr.. Taylor assured the
members of the association that the play
ers and visitors would be well cared for.

HELPS GAME ABROAD
Comiskey Equips Melbourne
Boys With Base Ball Outfit.
BOOSTS NATIONAL SPORT
American Teams Have Difficulty in
Dodging Banquets-Two Con-
tests Staged.

MELBOURNE, Australia, January TO-
That this tour of the world by Amer
ica'S representative base ball stars is an
educational venture with the main idea
of making base ball the international
sport was aptly shown here Thursday
when Charles Comiskey presented two
complete outfits to boys teams of Vic
toria. The youngsters have followed the
SoX and Giants about Melbourne for
two days, and when Comiskey heard
that they were playing base ball in the
crude old Scent ball-o -one-old-cat' style
he grasped the opportunity to boost the
game as well as giving the kids" a
chance to bow and grin, pleasure that
was touching.
IF VIC get the boys interested in base
ball they will have the men roofing
in no time. and then will follow an
adoption of the really red-blooded sport
for spectator and player, was the way
the old Roman passed off the thanks
Showered upon him for the base ball
outfits. Those of us who have been
living in the land of base ball and free
dom are not d bit unselfish, and If we
can help the rest of the world to
little pleasure you can always call upon

Banquets Are Passed UP.
1t proved another great day for the
tourists-greater, in fact, than any that
has passed since the teams left Seat
tie. From early morning until game
time in the afternoon every member of
the party was on the go. DodginS in
vitations to banquets is getting to be
an accomplishment, and the women of
the party are in most cases made to
suffer. for the men explain duties owed
to Friend Wife and ask to be ex-
cuSed.
Mike Donlin was the only tourist who
did not see some more of the beauties
of Melbourne and the suburbs, and
Mike was forced to remain at the hotel
because of his ankle. The injured
member had swollen to almost twice
its normal size, and a hurry call was
sent for a pair of crutches. Mike re-
marked that seeing the sights on two
sticks had many drawbacks,
Another double-header for one price

play, they we're decisively beaten, 10

TRAP" SAYS
AMBASSADOR
Turkish Ambassador Charges England
With Trying to Get United States
Mixed in European War. ..
CITES REASONS FOR HIS BELIEF
United States Administration Too Sa.
gacious to Fall Into Such Trap,
Says the Ambassador.

Washington. Sept. 7-Charging that
the intimation by Great Britain to the
United States that it would welcome
the presence of American war vessels
in Turkish waters to protect chris
tians was merely vulgar trap" to
get the United States mixed up in
the European fray on the allies side. y
A. Rustem Bey, Turkish ambassador,
issued tonight the following statement.
According to today's papers, Great
Britain, following in the footsteps Of
France. has agitated before the eyes
of the United States the spectre of a
massacre of christians in Turkey and
has made this gruesome picture of the
immediate future, drawn with abso-
lutte disregard to truth, preteXt for
requesting the United States to dis
patch warships to Turkish ports.
THAT there have been massacres in
Turkey, cannot, unfortunately, deny.
but the victims suffered at the hands
of the Moslems not as christians, but
as political agitators engaged in I'M
dermining the Ottoman state, the
while flouting in the face of the gov
eminent and dominant race the sup
port OF Russia, France and England.
Under the same provocation what
would Russia have done, who has CIV
en- the world the spectacle of not one.
but twenty programs against an inno-
cent race: what France, who smoked
to death in caverns the Alserans,
fighting for independence of their
lands, who later on rejoiced in that
grand production, the commune: what
England, whose punishment of the
rebels in the Indian 'mutiny' was to
blow them off guns?
and since a large number of the
American papers are siding with Great
Britain and France in this affair,
will permit myself to say that the
thought of the lynchings which occur
daily in the United States and the
memory of water cures in the Philip
pines should make them chary Of at
lacking Turkey in connection with
acts of savagery committed by her un-
der proyOcation compared with which
the economic competition of an Italian
or the sniping of Filipino or the out
rage of negro are as nothing.
Surprising. for the sake of argu-
ment, what in reality could never hap
pen. that the negroes were discovered
to be engaged in Il conspiracy with
the Japanese to facilitate the invasion
of the. United States by the latter,
how many Of them would be left alive
to tell the tale?
Great Britain and France have en-
barked upon new campaign of provo
cation against Turkey, secretly hop
ing that as a result of it something
untoward may happen in that country
to confirm their sinister predictions
so that the United States will be
finally prevailed upon to detach war
ships to the Levant and thus get mixed
in the European fray on the allies
side. but believe the administration
too sagacious to fall into such cul
gar trap"

Iowa Needs Publicity Bureau.
(By the Chairman of the Iowa State
Wide Publicity Commission.)

(By the Chairman OF the Iowa State
Wide Publicity Commission.)
Write to the agricultural depart
ments of all the states in the union
for information regarding local terri
tory, and you will receive carefully
prepared, profusely Illustrated book
lets, well written circulars and per-
haps three or four follow-up letters,
all of which are intended to give you
the proper notion of the advantages
of the state or territory being exploit
ed.
Iowa has no publicity bureau
there is no concerted effort to adver-
tise Iowa. In fact. our people have
been so contented and SO self contain
ed for the last ten or fifteen years
that only recently has anybody
thought it necessary to advertise the
state.
Now, however, we are awakening to
the fact that not only are our own
people leaving US, but that our wealth
is being carried away almost as rapid
ly as we can produce it by citizens
of our sister states, very largely
through the eifectivei advertising that
their publicity bureaus are doing.
Iowa needs publicity bureau or an
advertising agency, and the legisla-
ture ought to see that one is estab-
lished and ample funds for its conduct
is provided. Fifty THOUSAND dollars
year spent intellige3tly would give
the state enough adv rtising to bring
within its borders dvcry year hun
dreds of families a9d factories and
millions of dollars in property.
Certainly Iowa has more to adver-
tise than has any other state in the
union-more to advertise yet it is do
ing less advertising than almost any
commonwealth, excepting not even the
lethareis state of South Carolina. ! f
it pays city or a small community
to provide an advertising appropria-
ton and maintain an advertising bur-
eau, certainly it will pay a great state
like Iowa to invest enough money Ill
printers ink to tell the world what
We have to offer.
1t is the duty of the Associated Ad-
vertising Clubs of Iowa and the Great
er Iowa committee. of the State Man
ufacturers' association, of the Retail
Grocers' association. of the Iowa Agri-
cultural society and every other or
ganization of power and influence to
get busy on a campaign that will make
it obligatory upon the next general as
sembly to equip the state with some
advertising machinery

GERMANS REPORT
ED ON RETREAT
Falling Back From Line Of NanteuiI
lie Hardouins to Verdun, After
Vigorous Action.
ANGLo.FRENcH ARE VICTORIOUS
Estimated Unofficialiy that 1,000,o co
Troops Are Engaged in Big Bat
tic Eas: OF Paris. :.

Paris (via London) Sept. 1T was
officially announced tonight that the
Germans are retreating from the line
of Nanteuil lie Hardouis to Verdun
after vigorous action with French and
British troops.
London, Sept. THE News contain
ed in the French official communica-
ton that the Germans had fallen back
before the vigorous advance Of the al
lied troops on the line from Nanteuil
lie Haudouin to Verdun indicates that
the AngloFrench forces have got on
the flank of the German right wing,
which passed by Paris on the north
and was marching eastward to join
with the crown princes army coming
south.
1t has been suggested by military
experts that General Won kluck's
movement to the southeast was taken
as matter of precaution before the
movement by the allies from the coast,
1t is possibly this new army which has
reached Nanteuil lie Hardouin,. thus
getting on General Won klucks flank.
The engagement took place Sunday
and that evening the Germans began
their retirement.
Paris, Sept. THE following official
communication was issued here to-
night:
"First-Thc allies have advanced
their left wing without energetic OPP
position from the enemy.
Second-The situation is UNI
changed on our center in the region
of Verdun, our forces alternately ad-
vancing and retiring. There have
been some partial successes on our
right in the Vosges.
"Third-The advancing troops and
the allies defending Paris have had
several combats on the Oourcq river
with the results in favor OF the allies
1t is estimated unofficially that near
ly 100000 troops are engaged in the
fighting which is proceeding east OF
Paris today.
The nearness of this fighting to
Paris was responsible for the reports
current this afternoon that the sound
of firing could be heard from the city
itself. The day was clear and
strong wind from the east would tend
to support the contention of those
who declared they heard the sound of
artillery.
The inhabitants of Paris gathered
in great crowds near the gates of the
city to watch the passage of military
dispatch bearers. who from time to
time came dashing in from the east
in swift automobiles. In some quar-
tiers it is estimated nearly 100000
troops are engaged in this fighting.
Nearly all the railroads in every di-
rection around the city were reserved
today for the use of the military
authorities, while large numbers of
private automobiles and taXicabs
have been employed in conveying pro-
visions to the scene of operations.

the possibility that the German swins

Many Elections were Held Each Year.

For long period the election Of
township officers in Iowa occurred ar
nrally upon the first Monday In April.
The custom was established in the
Iowa country while the laws of Mich

appears to have been retained for a
quarter of a century without any rea-
son being stated. Neither was this
the only election held during the
year; for there were August elections.

all of which the township was the
unit. Indeed, it appears that con?

to bring about the consolidation of
the numerous separate elections SO
that it was possible finally to arrive

around to the south may mean an eff
fort on the part of the invaders to
make sure of their retreat through the
Meuse district but more likely it is a
scheme to strike such paralyzing
blow to the French army as to render
the investment of Paris a safe opera
ton.
The southerly movement of the Ger
mans may effect 4 junction of the
crown princes army and the army OF
Bavaria, which has been held on the
defensive in Lorraine. Thus the Ger
mans would advance from the east
and north in a vast enveloping move

pushed back during the last fortnight.
These preliminary movements. ii
showing nothing else, at least prove
that the Germans realize that the
siege of Paris, even it's occupation. is
quite worthless from strategic stand
point while the allies are free in the
field.
Confederation of the above men,
toned theory is contained in dis
patch from Berlin which describes a
battle in different country between
Verdun and Rethel as the deciding
conflict as far as France is concerned.
The dispatch states that the opposing
forces are almost equally divided. but
the French have the advantage, fight
ing from a defensive position Of their
own choosing.
Another significant factor is the gen
eral understanding that Emperor
William is inspecting the field of OPP
eration in this neighborhood. Reports
disagree as to his exact whereabouts,
but all agree that he is in the vicinity
OF the Franco-German border.
