Andy Williams, local lightweight,
is a busy boy these days under the
piIotage of Manager Jimmy Kilroy.
Kilroy has finally broken into the big
time and is arranging some good
fights for members of his stable.
Williams is slated for a go Oct. 10
with Kid Beebe at Evansville, Ind,
and this is to be followed on Oct. %
with a crack at Jack Purneu at In
diana Harbor. In both of these fights
the weight is>to be 1873 pounds. A lot
depends on the result of these bat
ties. Backers. of Pal Moore, Quaker
city lightweight, have asked terms
for a fight between Williams and
Moore in Philadelphia Oct. 25. Kill
roy answered that his man would
show for 25 per cent Of the gate re-

ing up his two fights in this vicinity
he will have no difficulty in landing
such a split.

DOPE FAVoRS WHITE SOX IN
BATTLES WITH CUBS
BY Mark Shields


All available dope on the city Sc
ries which begins today favors the
White Sox to repeat their perform
ance of the last three years and land
the title in easy fashion. They have
the pitchers, the batters and proper
fielding strength. They have the
prestige that comes from a COM
mendable fight in a league as strong
as the American was during the sea-
SON just closed.
But the psychological angle gives
the Cubs an outside chance to upset =
all this pre-series dope. The Cubs
finished in fifth place in their league,
an organization generally conceded
to be weaker than the American cir
cult. They are not highly regarded
as a ball team and nothing much is
expected of them. If they are
whipped and fight hard there will be
no heart-burnings on the Norh Side
and the fans will not be greatly upset.
They will not play under the same
strain that affects the White SoX.
Rowland's, people have been rated
high all year. They must win this
post-season strife or get the ribald
guffaw from the fan army of the
town. There is a mental strain in
volved when playing under such con-
ditions that is not good for most ball
clubs, and the SOx through the sea-
son, notably in their clashes with the
Red Sox, indicated they did not care
greatly to operate under mental
strain.
The Cubs can go into the ARRAY
with gay abandon. If they lose, well
and good. It was to be expected. On
theory they can cut loose, try most
any kind of play and not be assailed ,
if the strategy falls down.
And there you are. The dope ia
vors the Sox, but the Cubs may up
set the apple cart. Could anything
be more lucid. The foregoing should

Ice Substitute Found.

Copenhagen, Denmark, July S.-A
substitute for refrigerators with real
ice in them has been discovered by
an inventive Dane. namely, boxes
cooled by water. His invention has
proved so popular that in all the
new apartment houses the feature is
being incorporated.
The iceless refrigerator is accom-
ing in the house that all the cold wa
ter is conducted through pipes at the
rear of the box. Since, on an aver
age, a great deal Of cold water is
drawn in the course Of a day, the re-
frigerators stay fresh and cool.

Nine-Foot Shark Kills Swimmer.

Beach Haven, N. j., July c.
Nothing ever more deeply shocked
this section of the coast than the
tragic death in the surf late Satur-
day Of Chas. i. Vansant, Of Phila-
delphia, who was attacked by a nine
foot shark as he was about to end a
swim in the surf.
The man-eater had been seen NOV
ing swiftly after the swimmer, and
warning cries went up from those on
the beach, but they came too late.
Mr.. Vansant was less than so yards
from the beach and evidently failed
to understand the meaning of the
warnings, for he kept on swimming
leisurely. The shark made a dash,
turned over, with jaws open. and
then closed them upon Vansant.
The sea became crimson as the nn-
fortunate man struggled to free him
self. Alexander OFT, an expert SWIM
mer, made his way swiftly to the
spot, but was too late. The shark
darted away and disappeared, leav-
ing the mangled man floating.
He was brought to the beach and
hurried to hotel, where he died
within a few minutes.

FOOD FOR CAMP MOORE.
Large Quantities Bought In Five-Day
Lots-NNhat They Eat.

Columbia, July 7.-There is no
more strenuous job in camp than
that held by Major Frank w. Glenn,
camp quartermaster. Major Glenn
buys all the food the men consume,
and it is his duty to see that every
thing comes up to specifications.
Contracts for enough food to last
only five days are being made.
Here are some OF the quantities: !:
5000 pounds meal, 5000 pounds
flour, 1860 pounds Irish potatoes,
$50 pounds onions, 1000 pounds
evaporated apples, 1000 pounds
evaporated peaches. 2,700 pounds
granulated sugar, 1872 pounds evap-
GRATED cream, 33 pounds ground
black pepper, 600 pounds soap, 10
pounds vanilla extract.
This is only part Of the list Of gro
ceries, and in addition there is fresh
meat that the men now have every
day. Only the highest grade pro-
ducts are being purchased.
Some Of the companies fare sump-
tuously. Not only do the cooks
know how to use the government ra-
ton, but the people at home keep up
the company fund.-" out Of which
the men purchase supplies in addi-
tion to those furnished by the gov
ernment.
Every community should aid it's
company in the field by giving money
for the ice fund, etc.

CONDITIONS ON THE BORDER.
What IL Lady Traveller Says-Want
20 Minutes to Clean Up Juarcz.

Charlotte, y. c., July S.-Mrs.
Rosa Applewhite, OF Wilson, who is
spending several days in the city
with relatives. brings some very in
teresting accounts Of the conditions
on the Mexican border. Mrs. Apple
Cal, took her over that portion of
the country which Is attracting such
nationwide interest now.
Mrs. Applewhite also states that
travellers first feel the thrill and in
tense excitement, which is so evident
on the border now, when they reach
Numa,, Arizona, which is the western
end Of the American border patrol.
From that point past Eel Paso, Amer
lean soldiers are to be seen encamp-
ed all along the border and more are
arriving daily.
She states that when the travellers
questioned them as to their desire
for an engagement the troops en-
Enthusiastically replied, "Twenty min
utes to give JuareZ a spring clean
ing" Mrs. Applewhte observed
that many OF the American soldiers
seemed to be suffering slightly from
the intense heat. The thermometer
registered as high as Is degrees to
1913 degrees along the border in the
heat Of the day, but owing to the at
mosphcre was not as oppressive as
might be imagined.
The starving condition of the Mex
leans all along the border line at
tracted much attention. Mexican
women were observed to follow pro-
vision wagons. Their condition as a
whole is deplorable and it is we'll
known that many Of them are in no
wise eager for a conflict
Mrs. Applewhite also states that
her first impression, upon viewing
the we'll stationed patrol, was feel
ing Of safety in case Of break in re-
lations between the two countries
In spite of this feeling, however,
many American residents in that sec
tion are taking advantage OF the
peaceful condition at the present to
move and every train carries large
number Of American families to the
East.
