JESSE BURKETT TO
GIVE Up BASEBALL
Old Big League Star Of the
National Game Announces
That He Has Played His
Last.

Worcester Mass, Dec. AFTER 30
years of pastiming Jesse Burkett, one
of the last surviving veterans of the
'old guard" of baseball, has announced
his definite retirement from all active
connection with the game. Next Mon
day Burkett will celebrate the forty
sixth anniversary of his birth, having
been born in Wheeling, w. Va, Dec 4,
1870.
When in his prime Burllett was one
of the star sluggers of the game, and
at the age of 40 he was still able to
hold up his end on the diamond. He
began playing professional ball as a
pitcher with the Scranton team, when
but 16 years of age. 1t didn't take the
Scranton manager very long to dis
cover that twiring was no business
for Jess. So he was shifted to the out
field where he developed into one of
the greatest hitters of all time.
IN THE BIG LEAGUES.
After two years with Scranton he
came to Worcester. From Worcester
he went to the Giants and by that club
was farmed out to the Lincoln Western
league team. In 1891 he was sold to
Cleveland and it was in the Ohio city
that he started his brilliant career in
the big leagues. He remained with
Cleveland until the amalgamation with
ST. Louis in 1899. He pastimed with
ST. Louis through 1901, and the next
season went over to the newly formed
American league club of that city In
1905 he Joined the Boston Red Sox and
the end Of that season brought his ma
Tor league ca reer to a close
But there was still a lot of 1Sk pas
timing In Burkett's system and he re-
turned to Worcester to become part
owner and manager Of the local club.
AS a minor league manager he dupli
Gated his success as player in the big
leagues.
During the 10 years he piloted Wor-
cester his tenn never finished outside
the first division. For four successive
seasons, from 1905 to 1910. he won the
New England league pennant.
For several years Burkett played
regularly with his Worcester team and
his stick work-the same old heavy
clouting that put him over the 800
mark for IL years in the majors-won
many a game for his outfit.

There were several turkey day grid
iron contest surprises of interest to
southern Ida o football fans. Few of
them lcxpected to see the College of
idaho pile up such a large shutout
score on the Albion normal but many
more expected to see the Boise high
make n better showing against the
fast ogden team. 1t had been gen.
orally accepted as conclusive that the
University of Idaho would defeat the
Utah Agricultural college team at Lo-
gan.
BOISE HIGH GAME.
The Boise high school eleven was
played off its feet from the start The
Ogden high never gave the Boise
team a real look-in at the bacon after
the first quarter. That city has the
best high school eleven this season in
the state of Utah.
VARSITY GAME.
The Logar field was in sloppy
condition when the University of Idaho
met the Aggies of U:ah and fast play
was hampered. The varsity eleven
had the advantage of weight and it
counted on such field. Line plung-
Ing was the feature of the game. The
Aggies were forced to give repeatedly
before the smashing drives of the
Moscow students. A large crowd of
fans saw the game, the last of the
season for Logan.

WhiIlwind playing of the College of
Idaho at Caldwell yesterday afternoon.
A forward pass after Caldwell kicked
to Albion left the first opening for
the collegians to wreck the normal ma
chine. Sherman connected with AL
bion's pass and, lodging the tack
lers waiting for him, sped over the
Albion line for touchdown. After
that the College of Idaho team settled
down to tight football. The eleven
pulled together on every play and the
team work was excellent. Forward
passes, line plunges, long distance
punts gain d ground repeatedly for the
colegians as they continued their
match on the Albion goal. The final
quarter ended in walk-away for
Caldwell. The Albion machine was
completely demoral'zed and could not
come back. The lineup:

CTTY'S TRANSIT AGENTS
MAY BE NOMINATED BY
UNITED BUSINESS MEN
Suggestion by Harry J. Trainer
That Six Men Be Named
and Councils Pick Two
From List
MAYOR WOULD BE THIRD

Two, members of the Board of Directors
of the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Com.
pany will be chosen from the membership
of the United Business Mems Association
provided a resolution which passed Select
Council yesterday Is given favorable ac-
tion in Common Council and is signed by
Mayor Smith.
The resolution, which was introduced by
Select Councilman Harry ]. Trainer, OF
the Sd Ward, directs that the United
Business Mems Association OF Philadel-
phia be requested to send q list of six
names of men who are desirable transit
directors, so Councils can consider such
men for election to the Board of Directors
of the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Com
pany at the election to be held In Coun-
ellis in May, 1916"
Three directors are elected to the transit
directorate by the city for a four.year
term. The Mayor by virtue Of his office Is
one of the three.
Edward Il. Martin, chairman of the
Transportation Committee of the United
Business Mems Association, said today
that the business men most certainly
would name the six men from their own
members, provided the resolution finally
gives them the authority to do so. we
have 10000 members in the city of Phlla-
delphia," Mr.. Martin added, "and that will
give us n wide choice"
Under the 1907 agreement between the
company and the city. three of the twelve
members on the =. X. T. directorate are
chosen by the city to represent the city.
Mr.. Trainer, in introducing the resolution
yesterday, said that It was necessary to
change the old policy of electing the men
suggested by the p. r. T., which destroyed
the interests which the taxpayers are sup
posed to have c. rserved by the clty's rep
reSentativeS on the board.
The Introduction of the resolution was
q surprise to President Lennon, of Select
Council. and to the Ware members of the
body. An effort was made to avoid voting
on IL and to have the measure referred to
the Committee on Street Railways, but
this was defeated in a vote which showed
the McNichol strength to predominant in
Select Council. After some debate a roll
call was ordered on whether or not the
measure would be referred to the commit
tee. This was defeated by vote of 20 to
81.
A viva voce vote was then taken on the
resolution itself, and 1t passed almost
unanimously. The resolution reads:
Whereas, There is n growing interest
by tho people in transit matters; and,
Whereas. The city is about to spend
a large sum of money for transit devel-
opment, which will mean an operating

MAN SUFFERING FROM COPPER

His Second Effort to End Life May Be

Charles o'Donnell, a victim of copper
poisoning, attempted suicide by poison
today for the second time, at his home,
$40 North 23d street, when his condition
became worse and he saw no hope for

oDonnell, who is 2s years old, was
employed until a year ago in the copper
mines of the Lake Superior region.
Poisons from the metal became infused
into his system, and he came to the 23d
street address, to live with married
sister, intending to undergo a course of
treatment for the disease with physicians
in this city. When they failed to help
him he became melancholy, and, accord
ing to the police of the goth and Button
wood streets station, tried to kill himself

phIa. Hl sncovered on that occasion, but
decided ueGa second attempt several
days ago.
He was discovered unconscious by his
sister. She summoned a physician. who
employed "hrst-aid" methods, and then
sent him to st. Joseph's Hospital. Physi-
clans at that institution fear he will die
James O'Eara, a district detective of the
