INFIELD Will Be
A SENSATION

BOTH BOSTON AND PHILADEL-
PhIA HAVE. FAST MEN ON
THE SACKS

New York, Oct. Elm the coming
series for the worlds baseball enam-
pionship the infields of the Boston Ma
tionals and the Philadelphia Ameri-
cans are expected to contribute many
sensational plays both extensively and
defensively, during the struggle for
premier diamond honors. In fact it
would prove most extraordinary il the
reverse should be the case since com.
binations which include players or the
type of Johnny Evers, Eddie Collins,
Rabbit Maranville. "Stuffy" Nc
Innis, Home Rum Baker and Heinie
Schmidt execute thrilling catches,
throws and stops in every game Of
the pennant schedule.
A comparison of the two lnfields
shows that both the American and
National league championship clubs
have quartets of players stretched
around the base lines that are far
above the ordinary run of those Of
the big league clubs. Regardless Of
whether the players ARE veterans or
phenomenal youngsters, with but a
years or so of major league experience
they are either leaders or close 10
the top in their particular position
Just how these TIVE infields will play
Iagainst each other in the series which
begins this week is hard to forecast
lbut an individual comparison of the
lseason's work of each of the eight
players most likely to cover the posi-
tions from first to third, shows tha
they are quite evenly matched il
general skill with glove and bat.
Beginning with first base the Athle
tics will be represented by McInni
and the Braves by Schmidt. The Ma
tioDal league player is older and big
ger physically than McInnis but tn
latter has the advantage of longe
baseball experience and the 1914 sea
son records prove him to be stronge
with the stick. Schmidt has a fieldln
average of 1892 for 1870 games whic
, lputs him third in the list of Nations
league first basemen His battin
a, erage for 1873 games is .275. McIi

Ter average than Schmidt, his record
being .S17 for 146 games.
Evers and Collins will be opposed
at second base and here are two
names to be conjured with. Both are
famous and both have had plenty of
worlds series experience. AS the
pivotical point in double plays and in
field strategy there is little to choose
between them. Both cover wide areas
around second base and thow in al
most any position. In age and expert
epce Eyers is older than Collins being
81 years of age and with 12 years OF
league service against Collins 27 years
and seven seasons on the diamond. In
fielding the former Chicago Cub star

Plan to Buck Beef Trust.

New York, Jan. 14.-Arrange-
ments for importation into this coun-
try of thousands of tons of beef and
other meat products from Argentina,
Australia and New Zealand have
been completed by American capi-
talists whose identity has not been
disclosed. 1t became known yester-
day that the syndicate has leased
four large warehouses here with an
extensive water front.
This is the first real move toward
bringing a permanent supply of out
side beef and other food products to
this country since the new tariff
schedule went into effect. 1t was said
the syndicate had no connection with
any of the large American packers
and that within year when the big
beef shipments begin. it is expected
the competition will cause an appre-
ciable reduction in prices.

SURGEONS TRIED IN VAIN.
Patient Failed to Rally From Effects

patient in a local hospital upon

rare operation, in an effort to save

surgeons say that one of the most
heroic experiments of surgery has
gone to nought
In an effort to save a man declar-
ed to be hopelessly afflicted, surgeons
bored a series of holes in his skull
and injected into the diseased brain
a serum used only in the most dan
gerous of all blood Diseases Tha
patient was 81 years old. The opera
tion, done twice in Paris, has proven
of benefit in arresting the disease.
The operation yesterday was the first
of its kind performed in this coun-
try. 1t is said the patient did not
revive from the shock because of
weakened vitality.

Strike Through South Africa.

Capetown, January ia general
strike throughout South Africa was
proclaimed tonight by the Trades
Federation, and the Rand miners, by
q two-thirds majority, voted to join
in the movement. Governmental re-
taliation was swift, in. the form o.
the proclamation of martial law.
This was the only step the authorl-
ties believed adequate to meet the
situation, for the strike of the miners
means not only the turning loose of
the most turbulent spirits in the
Rand, but raised the whole Questirn
of the position of the native workers.
If the miners actually obey the strike
order the government Immediately
will take steps to send the natives
under escort back to their kraals.
This means that about 200,0D0
natives must be marched back by
road to their homes at enormous
cost. It will be most difficult, after
the end of the strike, to recruit them
again. In brief, such a step would
mean disaster for the Rand for many
years
Although official reports from Jo-
hannesburg show Improvement in
the train service, reports from other
districts are less encouraging. In
Natal the situation is one of great
tension, and it is feared that the
loyalty of the trainmen will not stand
the strain much longer An instance
of the mems temper is shown by the
action of an engine driver, who qLit
his train on the veldt and left the
passengers stranded.
Practically no information is at
hand as to conditions in the Orange
Free State, but improvement there
is not considered probable.
From the governments standpoint
about the only favorable news to-day
was the assurance from the Indian
leader, Gandhi, that the passive re.
sistance movement by the Indians
against their grievances would be
dropped durng the present trouble.
The Union Government remains
firm in it's attitude The premier,
Gen. Louis Botha, is said to have de-
clared he would guarantee that
with the end of the present crisis
there would not be another workers

EX.CONVICT IN POLITICS.
Al Jennings, Once Bandit, to Run for
Governor of Oklahoma.

Al Jennings, eX-convict, reformed
bandit and train robber, now respect
ed lawyer in Oklahoma City. will be
candidate for governor on the Dem
ocratic ticket in Oklahoma next year.
His nearest friends assert that he has
only slight hopes of winning his fight
but he hopes to keep certain parties
who counted him out for prosecut-
ing attorney, from getting the plum.
Jennings made a spectacular CAM
paign for prosecuting attorney, using
posters for himself in prison stripes,
moving pictures and oratory to win
his hearers. In every speech he told
of his crimes and then concluded
with the remark: Il have told you
of all of my crimes. Now let my
opponents tell of theirs The elec-
ton was close and Jennings lost by a
few hundred votes. He asserts he
was counted out" by gang of fear
full politicians.
Jennings spares no details in tell
ing the history of his life. He was d
lawyer by profession, the son of a
judge in Arizona when political
feud made him an outlaw. He en-
gagged in many gun fights with the
authorities, participated in many rob-
beries,, was finally captured after be-
ing wounded and sent to the peniten-
tiary in Ohio. There it is said, he
met Mark Hanna, then at the height
of his power, won the master-politi-
clans friendship, and finally obtain
ed his pardon from prison..
Jennings had been a lawyer before
he became an outlaw and returned o
Oklahoma to win his way back to
recognition as citizen of the United
States. Through Jack Abernethy. a
friend of President Roosevelt, he
was restored to citizenship.
A little while after he got his
papers, Jennings began his fight
against the political gang in Okla
homa. In the hope of re-instating
himself in the eyes of the people he
ran for prosecuting attorney on the
reform ticket. Thousands heard him
talk, saw the notorious bandit, ard
admired his flow of oratory. He took
the people by storm and came dan
gerously near winning the office.
In his campaign for governor Jen-
nings will use moving pictures of
himself in prison, posters and any
other devices that may win him
votes.

where in the engine room. The mill
proper, with all the machinery, was
burned, also the supply of meal and
about $500 gallons of oil. The burn

company with H. w. Crouch as

TITANTIC CASES HEARD.
Supreme Court Takes Question of
Liability Into Consideration.

Washington, Jan. 14.-Considera-
ton of the Titantic disaster was
taken up yesterday by the Supreme
Court. The abstract questions of
law before the court produced a
sterner atmosphere than the sena-
torial inquiry into the disaster. Yet
the morrning-trimmed attire of the
women in the spectators seats was
a constant reminder of the world
wide grief caused by the wreck with
it's loss of 1,940 lives.
Charles C. Birmingham, on behalc
of the owner of the Titantic, the
ocean steam navigation company,
argued before the court that the
American limited liability act
applied equally to American and
foreign ship owners. He said it
established the maritime law of
the United States to be universally
applied in American courts as the
expression by congress of the
American conception of justice. He
added this view of the statute had
Leeu authoritatively settled by de-
cistons of the Supreme Court. Under
his contention the liability of the
owner would be fixed by the salvage
recovered, the freight and passenger
money, amounting to about 100000.
Claims for damages amount to some
$13, 100000
