DISASTERS LAID TO WIRELESS
Possible Explanation Of Events That
Have Been More or Less Of
Mystery.

A well-known scientist recently sug.
gested that the mysterious explosion
which destroyed the British battleship,
the Bulwark. might have been due to
the influence of wireless waves. The
theory that wireless causes explosions
was put forward some time ago by q
French engineer. To prove his point.
he called attention to the fact that the
disaster to the British steamer the
volturno. which was burnt In the At
lantic. took place just on the junction
point where the wireless waves from
the Eiffel tower and Glace bay meet.
The mysterious mine explosion at
Senghenydd also occurred on the Cliff.

All the rest is known to you-how

from the baron, and intended to marry
me himself. But now that all is over

absolutely speechless-one of the
strangest and most startling stories
ever revealed.

Oberg, whose drastic and merciless
methods in Finland were not exactly
approved by the emperor. The baron
was well aware of this, and by in
geniously enticing him on board the
Iris he succeeded by handing that
small bomb concealed in a cigar-a
nihilist contrivance that had probably
been seized by his police in Finland

And l kissed my love passionately
again and again upon the lips.

WORLDS BASEBALL SERIES

plans to check the powerful offense Of
the Phillies. His ability to sense the
dropping place of fair hit ball, and
to be there when it falls, is expected
to reduce greatly the efficiency of the
long driving bats of the Phillies'
sluggers. Little, if any, behind Speak
er in this respect is Hooper, whose
saving catches in the Worlds Series
of 1912 are still fresh in the memory
of the fans.
Lewis, in left field, possesses this
same keenness and speed but he will
not outclass Whitfield, of the Moran
brigade, by any means. In fact the
seasons averages give the Philadel-
phia representative the better Of
Lewis in fielding by thirty -five points,
while the batting advantage Of the
Red Sox player is but fourteen points.
Lewis poled out more extra base hits
than Whitfield but the latter was faster
on the bases by considerable margin.
The latter is also steadier in the field,
although lacking the ability to make
the spectacular catches with which
Lewis electrifies the fans, from time
to time.
Becker Outclasses Henriksen.
Of the two utility outfielders Beck
er is the better by more than thirty
points while Henriksen has a very
slight margin in fielding. The form
er has figured in almost twice as
many games this season as the Red
Sox extra fielder and, next to Crav-
ath, holds the Phillies' record as a
home run hitter. In lengthy drives
and speed on the base paths Becker
is superior to Henriksen but the lat
ter is surer in the handling of fly
balls and throws more accurately to
the infield.
Due allowance must be made, how.
ever, for the fact that these out
fielders have played their home games
in parks of widely different dimen.
sions. Many of the extra base hits
especially some of the home runs Of
Cravath, would have been likely outs
! if made on field of the seize Of the
Boston Braves Park, where a portion
of the coming Worlds Series is to bt
played. With a trio of the ability Of
Hooper, Speaker and Lewis on guard
this is factor that must not be over
looked. Conversely, some of the twt
and three base drives of these sam'
players might have gone for hom'
runs had they been made on shor
field such as the Phillies have PLAYED
their home games on this year.
