CHILD IS STRUCK
BY BICYCLE RIDER
FATHER OF LITTLE ONE, HOW
EVER, DID NOT CARE TO PROS
ECUTE THE NEGRO BLAMED
FOR THE ACCIDENT.

Considerable excitement prevailed
at o'clock yesterday afternoon
when q little girl, the daughter Of
Mr.: and Mrs. p. Schambeau, residing
at the corner Of Eleventh avenue and
Jackson street, was struck by BIZ
cycle, said to have been ridden by Q
half grown negro boy, and painfully,
although not dangerously, hurt
The child was hurriedly conveyed
to physician's Office, where an exam
nation was made, and it was found
that the injuries were not Of a seri-
Gus nature.
Quite . number quickly gathered at
the corner Of Palafox and Romano
streets, where the accident occurred,
and Officer Way, who was patrolling
the beat, hurried to the scene. A
negro youth who gave his name al
Powers, and who was pointed out by
citizens as the one who was riding
the wheel when it struck the child
was arrested and charged with reck-
less riding. There was some doubt
as to whether the right negro wal
caught, and Mr.. Schambeau, the
father of the child, told the police
that he did not want to prosecute the
negro, even If he was the one who
was on the wheel, when the child wai
hurt. He said he had been informed
that Il was not entirely the fault Of
the bicyclist, but that the child was
lodging an auto when she was re
ported to have run in front Of the
approaching bicycle. Upon that as
sertion, the negro was released from
custody.

BASEBALL CURTAIN FALLS WITH CLOSING OF THE PAC|F|CC COAST
Past Year Successful to Many Club Owners. Closest Race In the
 Federal League

New York, October 24.-With the play ing of the final games in the Pacific Coast league pennant race. the curtain was rung down on the championship base ball season of 1915 today. While the past year has proved far from profitable to many club owners and some of the minor organizations were forced to disband, the season just closed has been fruitful of interest in many respects. The de- mand for players shown by the result of the drafts by major league clubs augurs wei. for the future of the game and dem onstrates that the financial shortcomings of tho season have not shaken the faith of the packers of the clubs throughout the country.
 While the finishes for some of the 1915 championship pennants were hard fought, the closest was that of the Federal eral league flag. This was won by the Chicago team by the narrowest possible margin, through taking the final game of a double header, which was called on ac- count of darkness at the end of seven innings. A rather peculiar outcome of the various races in the major and minor leagues was that none of the 1914 cham pionship clubs repeated its victory, with the single exception of the Canadian league pennant winners. who retained the banner at Ottawa. Following is a list of the winning clubs in the principal leagues with the results of the seasons play:

Atlanta October 2i.-Surprises were many in southern football circles yester- day. The showing of the Georgia team, which held Virginia to a to score; Nanderbit's big score against Mississippi and the defeat of Texas by Oklahoma, stand out clearly as the most important features of the day.
 Georgia's feat of scoring on Virginia and holding the Charlottesville team to a ' to score until within a few seconds of the final whistle, when Tibbitt, a substitute halfback, drop-kicked a field goal, was the big surprise of the day. The Virginians, almost prohibitive fav- orites, as the result of their successful eastern invasions. and few had predicted that Georgia would be able to score.~
 The interception of a Virginia forward pass by Powell, and his subsequent S0- yard run for touchdoYn however, up- set calculations early in the game. Vir- gnia scored soon afterward, but failed to kick goal, and was forced to remain behind until the last minute of play. Then Tibbett kicked field goal, time being called as the ball scared between the goal posts. Tibbetts work through out the final quarter featured. He was called upon time and again to carry the ball. and rarely failed to gain.
