EATERS IN DIFFERENT
 LEAGUES

NEW YORK, Dec. '. - Special complications covering the baseball season in the National, American and Federal leagues disclose a number of interesting features in connection with the struggle for the pennants in the respective organizations. Two no-hit games were pitched in the Ma tional; none in the American and four in the Federal league. The re cord of one-hit games shows that nine occurred in the National, twelve in the American and six in the Fed eral league. Two-hit contests were more frequent, and the American league leading with twenty-six, the National second with twenty-five and the Federals third with seventeen.
 Two nineteen inning games were the longest contests of the season, one being played in the National league and the other in the Ameri- can. A sixteen inning struggle was the feature match in this respect in the Federal organization. The Ma tional league also led in the heavy hitting department of the game, two twenty-four hit contests being re- corded. The Federals were next with one twenty-two hit game, and the Americans third with two twenty one hit games.
 All three organizations boast one game in which the total runs reached the twenty-seven mark. In the Ma tional league Chicago won a game from St. Louis, IA to 13; the Boston Americans defeated the Detroit Am ericans 15 to 12, and the Baltimore Federals won from the Kansas City Feds F to 12. In extreme scores the National league also takes the palm. for Boston defeated St. Louis 20 to 1; the American league was next with 16 to game, won by Chicago from St Louis, while the Federal leagues best offering in this respect was the St Louis triumph over Buffalo by a 13 to Q score.
 The leading batters in the various leagues which have made public their official averages to date. are as follows: Bat

GOES
IN VAUDEVILLE
YOUNG PENsACoLIAN WILL
OPEN SEASON AT KNOXVILLE.
AND WILL GO ACROSS THE
COUNTRY.

Tony Klumker, the young Pensa-
colian who is making quite hit in
vaudeville, left yesterday for Knox
vile, Tenn, after spending a few
weeks with relatives in Pensacola.
During his stay here local theatre
goers had the pleasure of seeing him
in his blackface east at the Isis thea
tres.
Mr.. Klumker this season stars with
the well-known SuIlivar-Constantine
circuit, and will travel from one
coast to the other, his early-season
itinerary taking him from New York
to San Francisco, at a good salary.
Opening at Knoxville Monday, he will
go from one town to the other, first
going east, and then taking a fresh
start from the coast, going west
ward on the circuit finishing up at
San Francisco. His friends hope that
his success will continue, and will
watch his course with much inter-
est.

Mr.. DoBsoN's LETTER.
Pensacola, Fla, August 2

Pensacola, Fla, August Il,
Editor Manufacturers Record:
Referring to your editorial, "The
South Should Have Gun Plants and
Naval Stations" in the current issue
of the Manufacturers Record, may l
invite your attention to the fact that
naval station located on the Gulf
of Mexico would be practically i'm
mune from any sort of hostile at
tack? The two entrances to the
Gulf are the Yucatan channel and
the Straits of Florida, each about 90
miles wide. Under modern conditions
of naval warfare it would be a des-
perate risk for any vessel, except a
submarine, to attempt to enter the
Gulf through these if they were prop
erly guarded by mines, submarines
and destroyers. Submarines that
might enter could be taken care of
by our harbor defenses, by mines and
by the air craft at the Naval Aero
nautic Station located here. A fight
of 400 miles would be required for
a hostile air raid on this station from
the Atlantic, and it would be neces-
sary for troops to penetrate the same
distance into the country before they
would break our line of communica-
ton with the interior. Therefore, a
naval shipbuilding and repair plant
here which would provide new
fleets to replace those destroyed in
war would be relatively safe from
attack and have an uninterrupted
line of supplies. This cannot be said
of any station on the Atlantic or
Pacific coasts.

President.

sible alteration of the boundary lines
Of some of the smaller states--that
on account of all these new conditions
there viii be more than enough work
for all the remaining able-bodied
men, and home viii clairl their serv-
ices for some years to come.
The opposite opinion holds that
everyone viii be left so poor by the
titanic struggle that it viii be hard
for the majority to exc out an ex-
istence, that because Of great fnan-
cial losses wages will be lower than
ever, that many viii want to emil

war and of the system of obligatory
military service-and for these rea-
sons many viii look to lnerica as a
more attractive land of promise than
ever IL seemed before.
Since 1910 the excess of arrivals
over departures for each year has
ranged between 100000 and 100000;
in 1915 tended June 3Oth), the excess
Of arrivals has been only 5000.
These figures have very important
bearing on the labor market, and it
would be interesting to know whether
we shall receive the usual influx of
labor after the war is over and in
dustry and construction work shall
have returned to normal conditions Of
growth and shall demand an eager
increasing army Of unskilled work
men, as heretofore. NothinS but
time can tell, but the outcome will
be highly instructive as well as in
teresting.

COP RESENTED
STATEMENTSOF
one DEFENDANT
OFFICER WARD sWEARs OUT
WARRANT CHARGING STEAM
SHIP OFFICER WITH SWEAR
ING FALSELY UNDER OATH.

Enrol A. Peters, second mate on
the British steamship Strathendriclx,
was arrested yesterday afternoon at
4 o'clock by Deputy Sheriff Oscar
Collins on charge of perjury,
warrant charging such offense hav-
ing been sworn out by Police officer
w. c. Ward, following the DISPOSE
ton of the case which had been made
against Peters in the city court, and
in which the steamship officer was
fined $40 by Recorder ZeIius. Peters
furnished bond for his appearance
September z, and was released from
custody.
Peters, it seems, was arrested at
a late hour Wednesday night by
Officer Ward, and charged with VIC
lation of the city statutes. The
steamship officer, in his testimony in
his own defense, was said to have
represented that he had given the
arresting officer, Ward, the sum of Sc,
alleging it was stated, that the of
ficer had told him this would prob
ably be the size of his fine. He is
later alleged to have stated that the
policeman pocketed the money, and
that he was out that amount
Officer Ward was highly indignant
when this statement was made to the
court, and denied absolutely that
there was any grounds for the sailor
making such assertions. Peters, how
ever, is said to have stuck to his al
legation, and Officer Ward decided
to try to Offset any suspicion which
might point to him by having the
matter thrashed out in a court Of
competent jurisdiction. After the
city court had adjourned yesterday,
he went before Justice of the Peace
Johnson and swore out an affidavit
against Peters charging him with
perjury.
Peters is second mate aboard the
British steamship Strathendrick,
which arrived here a few days ago
from Chile with a cargo Of nitrate
of soda.

TT TURNED out that Samuel Adams

effectual means of agitation.

course of affairs.
There was nothing absolutely novel
in the plan. except its formal COM
pleteness and it's appearance OF per-
arrangement made out of hand.
In the year 1853. which was now
seven years gone by. Richard Henry
Lee had taken an active part among
his neighbors In Virginia IN forming
the Westmoreland Association"
which drew many Of the leading spir-
it's of the great county of westmore-
land together in concerted resistance
TO the Stamp Act.
Four years later (176s) the Bur-
gesses OF Virginia. cut short in their
regular session as a legislature by
sudden dissolution proclaimed by
their royal governor, met in Mr. An
thony Hays house In WILLIAMSBURG
and adopted the resolutions for a gem
eFat nOn-iInpcrbaIlon association which
George Mason had drawn up, and
which George Washington, Mr.. Ma
sons neighbor and confdant, read and
moved.
There followed the Immediate or
ganixation of local associations
throughout the little commonwealth
TO see to the keeping OF the pledge
there taken.
Virginia had no town meetings; each
colony took it's measures of non-im-
portatton and resistance to parlia-
mentary taxation after it's own FASH
ioni but wherever there were English
men accustomed to political action
there was always this thought of free
association and quick and organized
cooperation in the air. which no one
was surprised at any time to see act
ed upon and made an instrument OF
agitation.
What made the Massachusetts, COM

INSURANCE BY
POST REDUCED

Postmaster Hancock announces
that the postal insurance rates have
been ordered reduced, the reduction
to become effective at once.
The order authorizing reduction in
the rates of insurance provides for
the insurance of parcels ranging in
value as high as five dollars for a fee
of three cents. This makes the iny
surance fee little more than half what
it previously was, the old fee having
been five cents.

This is a pretty good old world
after all, and while human nature is
very obstinate and selfish and cranky
and Grant, and sin and sorrow are
always with us, there is big and
inexhaustible streak of good in it,
and if only the appeal is rightly made
the generous and charitable response
will meet it every time. Here is
Lakeland the Telegram need only
call attention to cases of restitution
and suffering to promptly bring aid
in every instance, and while Lakeland
is of course the best town in the
world with the best people living in
it. happily we have no monopoly of
the goodness, for it is characters
tic of all people, especially American
people. In this connection we take
the following from The Pensacola
Journal because it is so precisely like
the way we do those things in Lake
land:
'Nothing could better illustrate the
generosity of the Pensacola public
than the promptitude with which
response was made to the appeal for
help for women and children, whom
Sheriff Cary Ellis found in destitute
condition in the country near Pensa-
cola on Tuesday. The appeal APP
peared in The Journal Wednesday
morning and how generous was the
response will be shown elsewhere IN
The Journal. Again and again does
Pensacola demonstrate this splendid
helpful spirit, and particularly dur
ing the past year has this been so.
Nothing better illustrates the moral
status of city than the manner in
which it looks after its poor.-Lake-

Typhoid Vaccination
Gaining Favor.


An enormous increase III the num-
Der of persons seeking anti-typhoid
vaccination is reported by the U. S.
Public Health Service. Not alone is
this increase manifested among the
benefciaries of that organization and
government employees, but the gener-
al public Is also awakening to the
value Of the incubation. Reports
from physicians throughout the coun-
try indicate that many are receiving
the preventive treatment and labora-
tory establishments have had great
" increased demand for the vaccine.
So great is the call among employees
Of the government that it has been
necessary to issue a second edition of
the secretary of the treasury's circu-
lar stating the localities where the
treatment may be received. It is es-
timated that during 1914 over 100,-
900 persons throughout the country
were immunized and it is believed
that in 1915 the number will exceed
goo, 900. In four counties of North
Carolina, where campaigns are now
being conducted, it is estimated that
70, 900 people vii be inmunized.
The public is seldom slow to accept
an innovation of worth. The reduc-
ton of the case rate in the Army
from $50 per 100000 before the dis
covery Of the anti-typhoid vaccine. to
8, since incubation was made COM
pulsory, has not passed unnoticed-
During four months of 1898 there
were over 1000 cases of typhoid
among 10000 soldiers encsmped in
Florida; in 1911, among 10000 men
similarly encamped, there were but
2 cases. If such degree OF immun-
ity can be harmlessly conferred upon
body of men living under adverse
conditions and whose age renders
them susceptible, the conclusion is
that protection can just as easily be
afforded ordinary citizens.
Anticipated vaccination is quite as
simple as that for smallpox and even
children do not complain. There are
no local effects other than a slight
reddening at the site Of the injection
and sore arms are entirely lacking. II
q small percentage of cases a milo
systemic reaction, accompanied BY
headache and slight rise in tempera,
ture, occurs, but if the treatment il
given at night the persons rest il
undisturbed and he is entirely una
ware of these SYMPTOMS In the ma
jority of instances, however, there il
not the slightest inconvenience. TIL,
immunity probably lasts for severa
years, although its duration is les
than that Of smallpox which frequent
lly persists for q lifetime.

here always and in his going the
city has lost one who had been very
close to its people. For the years Of
q long and faithful rectorship he was
more than the pastor Of q flock. He
was friend to man. following in
the footsteps Of his Master, he found
none too high or too low for his
counsel or comfort.
He had wonderful faith. Faith
not only in God. but in humanity. He
looked for the best, believing every
man TO be made in the image of his
Maker, and the best was given him,
the love that nothing could shake,
i devotion that time and distance
could not diminish.
DR.. Whaley was not only beloved of
his own congregation. Other denom-
nations recognized in him something
more than the rector of a church
he was a minister of the gospel of
Christ aud he loved Gods people. His
hand was never turned against any
in distress and he did indeed Ego
about doing good" He ministered
TO the needy and the afflicted in word
and deed and the poor of the city
blessed him. During his eighteen
years Of ministry in Pensacola he
went with its people through some
perilous days, and never did he fail
