SaIlee Poorly Supported.
Speedy base running and st. Louis's
numerous errors gave the Chicago Ma
tionals so many runs that Vaughn's
pitching task was easy and the opening
game Of the season at Chicago went to
the locals Z to 2. Not until the eighth
inning did Vaughn permit a visitor to
reach third base. Sallee was poorly
supported. and triples by Fisher ana
SAFER and a double by Archer helped in
the rout OF the Cardinals. Longs three

ing the St Louis runs. The usual cere-
monies preceded the game.
Cleveland Beats Detroit.
The Detroit Americans fielded miser-
ably, were unable TO hit Mitchell op-

ing game OF the season at Detroit to 1.
Ty Cobb Huffed Chapman's high fly in
the first inning, thus making an error
on his first fielding chance OF the year.
Chapman took second on the misplay
and scored on Jackson's single. Wits
wide throw paved the way for Cleve-
lands run in the sixth, while Coveles-
lie's muff OF a thrown ball and some
consecutive hittings gave the visitors
three runs in the seventh Mitchell was
at his best when men were on bases,
except IN the fourth inning, when hits
by Cobb and Crawford and a long fly
by Veach saved the Tigers from a shut

in yesterdays bout. The little Mexican

his claim that he will some day wear

game than they did during the series,
while, although I can't speak with so
much certainty on that point. I doubt
If the Braves ever played a better game
than they put up in the four big con-
tests. We had been in a slump for two
months and every man played below

baseball
After the season was over, however,

Still, Lajoie is a veteran OF many
seasons and Collins is in his prime. So
I believe it is impossible TO fill his

however. the conditions which existed

LAWYERS SEE DEATH
 OF JUDICIAL RECALL

Salt Lake City, Utah, Aug. IT, That the contest between the advocat- es and opponents of recall of judges has been contest between prejudice and enlightenment, is the claim of the committee on recall, in it's report pre- sented today at the opening session of the American Bar Association. The report stated that the advocates of the recall had made no progress dur ing the past year, and that the issue has been beaten "to a frazzle."
 The annual convention of the Bar Association has brought to Salt Lake some of the leading legal lights of the country. The opening session began this afternoon. Chairman Or rin N. Carter, judge of the Illinois Supreme Court. Mr. Justice Van De- vanter of Wyoming, Judge Frank s. Dietrich of Idaho, Judge Ira k. Robin son of West Virginia, Judge Thomas c.

ANTHRACITE COAL OUTPUT,

Pennsylvania produced 81,092,6 long tons (9O,821 ,5O7 short tons) of anthracite in 1914, according to fig ures made public by the United States Geological Survey, the value of the output at the mines being $1S8,181,- ' 399. This represents but a slight de- crease as compared with the previous year, in which the record output of anthracite was attained. Anthracite is used almost exclusively as, domes- tic fuel, and fuactpatiors in the de- mand depend almost entirely upon the temperature during the winter The main influence on supply is amount of labor and the time lost by strikes.

ARGUE SUIT FOR S1O2,OOO, ,OOO.

Boston, Aug. 17.-In the state Su preme Court today arguments are be- ing heard on the suit for $102,000,000 brought by the minority stockholders in the New Haven railroad against the former directors, in which it is sought to have the former directors held liable for the expenditure of the vast amounts for street railway and steamship lines. The minority stock holders seek tC have the money paid back to the corporation, claiming it was spent wrongfully. Specific ale gation is made that S112,000,000 was spent on street railways in New Eng land that are worth only $56,000,000 that $2S,000,000 went for steam rail roads the actual value of which was $12,000,000, that 32,000,000 was paid for Boston and Maine stock worth not over S10,000000 and that $37 100000 was used up on the Westchester road for property that did not exceed S19,- 100000 in value.
 The Supreme court has already turned down the suit, but an amended action has been filed and is now the subject of argument between the law years for the minority stockholders and the railroad attorneys. The court has decided that a stockholder has no personal right to action against di- rectors who have defrauded corpo- ration and thus affected the value of his stock. Such wrongs, it is decreed are against the corporation itself, and except through that, have no relation to the stockholders.
