Boston Red SOx Ovner
Has Poor Investment
By LOUIS A. DOUGHER.

BOSTON, May Aust now Joe
Lannin, the wealthy sportsman
owner of the Red Sox, is the most
unfortunate man in baseball. A year
ago he purchased major league
club, paying hard money for it. Fed
eral League squabbles boosted the
salaries of his players surprisingly,
but he made no complaint. He even
went beyond all limits of prognosti-
cation, giving bonuses to this one
and that, presents to others, and in
creases to all of them. He rapidly
became known as the "easiest boss"
of baseball. In return, he was to
have the honor-and profts-of hav-
ing a major league champion. Any
way, that's what the experts thought
last fall when the 1914 campaign
closed for the winter.
Throughout the snow season it
was shown in column after column
Just why the Red Sox should be con-
sidered the most promising contender
for the 1915 championship. Now all
has changed. Lannin is hooked up
for the highest salaried ball club in
major league baseball. He has spent
thousands trying to show folks that
he is a real sport. He is sure to
spend many more thousands for the
same purpose. And his ball team is
not delivering the goods. To make
it worse, some of his high salaried
players are laying down" on him.
Two pitchers aoove all were expected
to deliver frst-class ball this year. They
are Joe Wood, former speed king with
Walter Johnson as only competitor, and
Vean Gregg, former Cleveland south
paw. Wood is said to be collecting a
salary of 81, 900 and Gregg one of $500
So far, neither has missed a pay day.
So far, neither has pitched one ball IN
a game this season. Furthermore, the
outlook Is that neither Will do much OF
anything till well toward the end of
the present season. if then.
There are several promising young
players with the Red SoX and they are
said to be suffering from the evil
example set by Wood and Gregg. These
two stars OF the mound report every
day at Fenway Park, shag balls ir the
outfeld, take part in the batting drills
and are strong for the cooling showers,

AUTOS CRASH WITH
DAMAGING RESULTS
SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES FOL-
LOWED WHEN TWO VEHICLES
ENCOUNTERED ONE ANOTHER
AT CROSSING.

Just on the stroke of noon yester-
day, at the intersection of Gadsden
and Guillemarde streets, the large
automobile owned and driven by r.
E. L. Daniel, encountered the grocery
delivery truck of the McHugh Gro
Gerry Company, which was driven by
a negro named Fayette Mitchell.
Both cars were going at lively clip
and the crash when they struck was
heard for blocks, and very shortly a
large number of people were on the
ground.
Both vehicles were badly damaged,
but the grocery truck suffered pos
sibly the most serious injuries. No
body was hurt. The grocery truck,
which was going north, and which
carried a large supply of groceries,
was lifted from the pavement and
wedged SO tightly on the larger car
that it required considerable exertion
to pull them apart.
Witnesses stated that both autos
were sounding the horns when APP
preaching the sharp crossing, and
dozens were seen who said they were
unable to tell just which driver was
at fault. Late yesterday afternoon
both of the autos were yet standing
near the scene of the crash, one on
Guillemarde street and the other on
Gadsden.
Mr.. Daniel, accompanied by q
friend, was driving his car west on
Gadsden street and had crossed Tar.
ragona street in safety. The steer
hill between Guillemarde and Pala-
fox streets was to be climbed, and he
gave his car a little Roadway to get
up the hill in good shape. The ne
gro in charge of the other car told
inquirers that he was delivering many
articles which he wanted to have al
their several points before dinner
and he was said to have been moving
just a trifle faster than safety would
suggest, especially on such SHARP
crossing. They were both sounding
their alarm signals when the cross
ing was approached, but neither was
able to see the other on account Of
store on the corner. That was
mainly the reason for the crash.
Officer Chestnut and Hall were
hurried to the scene, and the cases
viii be disposed of in the city court
today.

valuable assets.
In order to determine the exact
value of the movement of a bale of
export cotton, we recently gathered
some statistics on that subject, and
found that every bale of cotton that
moves through the port of Pensacola
leaves approximately 81 in the city
This is not the total amount of reve-
nue. per bale according to the city
for it does not include cotton factors
commissions, or insurance, but is the
amount that accrues and is paid for
the physical handling of the cotton
and the ship that carries it, and a
large part of the 50 is paid to labor
and is Immediately put into circula-
ton by being spent for food, cloth
ing, house rent, fuel, school books,
etc.
The amount distributed annually in
Pensacola by reason of our movement
of export cotton, on the basis of 81
per bale, may be seen by a glance
at the following figures:
