SOX MANAGER is
BlGSKOW STRANGER
Rowland Never Advanced Be-

CHICAGO. Dec. lS.-The announce
ment that Clarence Rowland. who
never wore a major league uniform in
HIS life and who was never connected,
as manager or player, with any
league higher than the ThreeEye.
would manage the White SoX next
year. is still sensation in Chicago.
Comiskey is not being panned for his
choice. however, for the fans believe
his reasons for signing the busher
good and sufficient, but speculation as
TO the probable success OF the new
boss is heard everywhere.
Rowland last year managed the
Peoria club, OF the Three Eye league,
and was with Dubuque, as owner and
manager, for three years previous.
His other managerial experience has
been gained at Aberdeen, in the Ca
madam league, and at Jacksonville, IN
the South Atlantic league. He is but
.33 years old, is considered a good
Judge OF ballplayers, and Is said 10 De
an aggressive. brainy leader.
He is best known TO major league
circles as the man who recommended
Larry Doyle, Bobby yeach. Nin'

for years, and they are said TO have
been great pals Rowland was. an un

MANAGING CHANCE
LOST TO ]. AUSTIN
Third Sack Said to Have Been
Slated as Rickey's Sue
cesSOr

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 1S.-By signing
with the Pittsburgh Federals. Jimmy
Austin, the veteran third baseman OF
the Browns, has probably forfeited
a very bright chance OF becoming a
major league manager Austin was
being groomed by Manager Branch
Hickey, OF the Browns, for a manage
rial berth, and il is said that Hickey
intended 10 recommend that Austin
be appointed to succeed him as soon
as the Browns became pennant-win-
ming aggregation.
Those who are familiar with con-
ditionS on the local American league
club believe that Col, r. l.. Hedges
will retire from the presidency of the
club as soon as Hickey builds up a
first division team. and that Hickey
will be appointed president.
Austin was Rickey's adviser in many
matters of diamond strategy, and
Hickey had so much confidence in the
veteran that he placed him in charge
of the team on Sunday and at other
times when il was necessary for
Hickey 10 be absent.

Schaefer An Umps!

The news that Germany Schaefer
who drew. his unconditional release
from Washington this Week would
like TO turn into an umpire, is one OF
the most interesting items that has
reached winter league circles. Schae-
fer has been the irresponsible humor-
list of the American league tor many
years, and umpiring is very serious
matter For Germany" TO keep
from cutting monkeyshines just when
he should be impressively guiding

heart before he can umpire with be-
fitting gravity.

BERLIN, Oct. 20, by wireless via

Progressive Nominee for the
Senate Reviews Fight on
Meat Bill in Cambridge
City Talk.
ATTACKS MACHIN ES
Says BOss-Ridden Old Par
ties Cause Enactment of
Bad Laws and Oppose
Good Measures.

CAMBRIDGE CITY, Ind, Oct. 90
Calling on the citizens of Wayne coun-
ty to forget partisanship and vote for
good government, Albert J. Beveridge
sounded the deathnote of the old-line
political machines in his address be-
fore large and enthusiastic audience
composed of members of all political
parties in the Hurst opera house here
this afternoon.
Mr.. Beveridge, the Progressive nomi-
nee for the United States senate, was
followed by Ebert Russell, candidate
for congress from the Sixth district,
and John w. Judkins, who presided.
From here Mr.. Beveridge and his par
ty motored to Liberty for meeting
before concluding the days campaign
with the rally at Richmond tonight.
Beveridge told his hearers to forget
they belonged to political parties, to
lay aside their spirit of partisanship
and to act in the interest of good
government.
Reviews His Work.
He said he had wondered why the
country had so many poor laws and
why it was so difficult to secure the
enactment of good legislation. The
average person would have thought
the meat inspection measure which he
introduced while in the senate, would
have passed without opposition, having
as its purpose the protection Of the
people from impure meats. But 1t
was passed only after the most bitter
contest.
The bill which he presented to re-
store to the government $12,O00,0O0
annually which the tobacco trust was
collecting illegally, met with the same
opposition. and was only enacted after
a hard fight.
With fine irony Mr.. Beveridge said
he was sorry to say that one of his
opponents now, Mr.. Shively, was also
one Of his opponents then, voting
against the bill.
Parties Boss-ridden.
While In the Senate, Mr. Beveridge
said he saw why the country had so
many bad laws and SO few good ones.
1t is because the old parties are gov
erned by machines and bosses, he
said. At present Indiana is governed
by the Crawford Fairbanks-Tom Tag
CART machine If the people repudiate
this ma achine, he said, and elect the
Republican ticket they would only
transfer the government from one ma
chine to the other. While they might
change machines, they would not
change masters. Each year two par
ties wage their sham battle, he al
legged, and then meet behind the scenes
to divide the spoils.

cal machines" he said, and give the

Some of the outlying forts about

entering room with Mrs. Brown.
After the shooting Brown. whose
vest. shirt and collar were almost
torn from him, walked into the office
of DR.. T. Henry Davis and informed
him of the deed.
Drs. Davis and Townsend. who sum-
mond the police, found Walker in a
dying condition. Eight minutes after
the shooting, he died. An artery above
his heart was severed, and he was
paralyzed by the bullet which lodged
in his spinal cord.
Brown surrendered to the police
without attempting to escape. He told
his story to Prosecuting Attorney Rel
ler. who refused to permit the publ.
cation Of the statement today.
Wife's Story Differs.
In Browns statement last night fol-
lowing the shooting he cast reflections
against his wife. Mrs. Brown tells a
different story in which she says that
there was no evil in their actions, and
that Brown was the aggressor in the
ngnt with walker.
Within an hour after the shooting
both Mr.. and Mrs. Brown were taken
to Jail, Mrs. Brown as witness. The
charge of murder has not been placed
against Brown, who is held for safe
keeping.
When he arrived at the county Jail
in the police automobile. the murderer
was in disheveled condition, but cool
and unperturbed. After his effects had
been taken from him Brown shook
hands with two newspaper men.
You are my friends. boys. SO don't
ask me to talk about this now" he
said. He was told that it would be
impossible to prevent a discussion OF
the affair, and that he might as well
give his version Of it.
Acts in Self-defense.
