AUSTRIAN EMPEROR
 CALLED BY DEATH
LONG REIGN OF FRANCIS JOSEPH ENDED AFTER MANY YEARS
 OF ILLNESS.
NEW EMPEROR AT FRONT
Archduke Francis Became Heir to the Throne By Assassination of Arch duke Francis Ferdinand, Prior
 to Outbreak of War.

London.-Empero Francis Joseph died at Schoenbrunn castle, according to Reuter- dispatch from Vienna by way of Amsterdam.
 The first intimation received here that Emperor Francis Josephs health was again the subject of worry, was contained in a dispatch dated Novem- which reported that the emperor had been suffering for some days from a slight catarrhal affection.
 Subsequent reports, more or less conflicting, represented that his condi- tion was becoming worse, but none in- dicated that his illness threatened to reach a critical state and from Vien- na came assurances that he was still able to give audiences to one or more ministers daily.
 What gave some credence to the suspicion that his condition was much grayer than the official bulletins indi- cated, was the report which still lacks official confirmation, that it had been oCOldCd bO uSooON1dlC CIC hClA OO IlAC throne, Archduke Charles Francis, in the government of the country and that he was to assume the position on December on the sixty-eighth anni versary of the emperor's ascension to the throne.
 So far as is known here Archduke Charles is still at the front in com mand of the army. A Geneva dis patch, forwarded to Reuters by way of Amsterdam, quotes ,-le Katolische Zeitung as saying the sacrament was administered to Emperor Francis Jo- seph Saturday.
 Archduke Charles Francis, grand nephew of the Emperor Francis Jo- seph, became heir to the throne of Hungary by the assassination of Archduke Francis Ferdinand prior to the outbreak of the war.
 Archduke Charles Francis was born on August IT, 1887. His wife was Prin- cess Zita of the Bourbon house of Par ma His father was the Archduke Ct to, who was the younger brother of Francis Ferdinand.

 DANIELS.

shington.-While Secretary Dan iels was awarding contracts for armor plate for the four battleships author ized at the last session of Congress and approving plans for an ammuni- tion ship, the last vessels designed for 1917 building program. the appro- priation subcommittee of the House naval committee began work on the 1918 estimates, the heaviest in Amer ican history to be presented to Con- gress this winter.
 The Navy Departments 1918 figures contemplate construction of half Of the ships yet to be built in the great three-year program and show total ap- propriations of $379, ,701, or more than $66.0000,000 in excess of the rec ord total appropriated last summer.
 Contracts for the armor plate, which will go on the Colorado, Maryland, Washington and West Virginia were awarded to the Bethlehem and Carne- gie Steel companies, each receiving half of the work
 A statement analysing the contracts says that despite the unprecedented European demand for plate, the prices offered were approximately the same as those paid three years ago, when the Pennsylvania was being construct ed. The figures are from $40 ton to s466.
 The department estimates before the  House subcommittee call for funds to begin construction of three battle ships, one battle cruiser, three scout cruisers, 16 destroyers. four fleet sub marines, IA coast submarines, one submarine tender and one destroyer tender.

MONASTIR OCCUPIED
 BY FRENCH TROOPS
THE GERMAN AND BULGARIAN FORCES ARE DRIVEN FROM
 SERBIAN CITY.

Paris.-French troops captured from the German and Bulgarian forces the chief southern Serbian town of Monastir, the French War Department reports.
 The campaign for Monastir has ex- tended over period of several months, with the French and British troops from SaIoniki and the reorgan- ized Serbian army participating. For many weeks the battle seemed draw, but recently the Bulgarian-German line began to yield, and since then the allied forces have been steadily driv- ing back their enemies. The advance was always slowly, but each day the reports told of small gaIns
 Last week the French and Serbian forces took possession of the crest of the hills to the south of Monastir, and threatened to reduce the city with their heavy artillery The German position apparently became untena- ble and the Germans and Bulgars withdrew The Germans are now said IO oNNupy ulllS HUI LII LII IIlS City.
 Another Franco Serbian force that has been driving upon Monastir from the southeast is continuing to gain ground, having recently taken several more small towns in that region.
 With Monastir in their possession, it is expected that the Serbs will set up a government on their own soil with the recaptured city as the capi- tai.
 News of the occupation if Monastir was received in Paris as one of the most important of the recent develop ments of the war.
 The Temps says that the success is not only of immense moral value, but is likely to have great influence on subsequent developments in the Bal kan campaign, as the place commands all the practical routes between the Aegean sea and the Adriatic sea.

Kansas City, Mo.-Holding that the Adamson eight-hour law cannot be sustained" Judge William c.

 Judge Hook directed the receivers of the Missouri, Oklahoma and Gulf railroad, who brought the original ae- ton in this case to enjoin the law from going into effect, to assist the government in expediting the case to the Supreme Court of the United States for final decision, and instruct ed them through their attorneys to invite the representatives of every railroad in this country to participate in the proceedings before the highest court in the land. This was request ed in the governments motion to dis miss the injunction petition of the railroad, the government desiring to avoid prolonged, unnecessary and scattered litigation through the hear ing of countless similar suits filed by every railroad system in every federal district in the United States through which their lines run.
 It is expected that the ultimate de- eision as to whether the law will go into effect January l will be handed down before that time. A transcript of the present case will be filed with the Supremt Court before it recon venes December i.

baited an umpire. He outguessed the mall And he was thorough sportsman. In all his career Matty never used a ''beanball" The batters could stand up to the plate without the slightest fear of being hit And yet they couldn't find his delivery.
 Matty once told me in a few words his working principle.
 T always try" he said, ito put the ball where they don't want it." If a batter preferred to catch the ball on the end of the bat Matty never gave him a chance to do 1t. He knew not only the weak spots of every bat ter, but the strong spots and the lat- ter he avoided.
 There never has been a more pop ular athlete than Christy Mathewson. clubs from the very beginning of his career, admired him and unhesitating- ly praised his ability and his sports manship. He never baited an umpire in his life. He didn't think it neces- sary or right or sportsmanlike. He has always accepted an unpire's de- cision without a 'f1ick". Now, as man new line of work without an enemy in the world and with millions of friSnds.
 Mathewson is a genius at every thing he attempts. He'll be suc- cessful manager. He is not only great ball player. but also one of the best shots in the country, a remark able checker b1ayer. a frst-class golfer and a successful business man in sev eral lines at which he has earned 8 fortune of several hundred thousand dollars. The United States and every small boy and baseball fan in it join in wishing him the best of good luck.

TEST OF GREAT TEAM
 ABILITY TO REPEAT.
Cube and Mackmen Stand Out Prom
 inent.

The test of a great, or at least 8 first class ball club, is ability to win pennant and then repeat says Grant land Rice.
 Apparently the Red Sox are the only entries in this class left, and they have yet to show the fibre of the older line ups.
 Starting in 1901, Pittsburgh won three years in a TOW. That showing was the test of class.
 The Giants won in 1904 and 1905; they won again in 1911, 1912 and 1913. That was proof enough of class. be- yond all argument.
 Cubs and the Macl1men. The Cubs, five years. The Mackmen, starting in 1910, did the same.
 These are the only two clubs in the last twenty five years able to make such showing. There isn't a club in the National League today that even compares with the old Cubs. There isn't a team in the American League to be mentioned in the same class with the Mackmen.
 \ ball club may win @ pennant one season through breaks in the luck through playing beyond normal speed for a. stretch But no ball club is win ming three pennants in q row or four pennants in five years unless it out classes the field.
 The Braves scattered the old Mack ian line-up But the Braves have yet to prove their class by winning an- other flag.

into the grand stand boxes after fans who persisted in nagging him.
 Cobb has announced that he will play this season out and then quit. He is convinced now that he san have no peace of mind as long as he continues in baseball. Were it not for Hughey Jennings, Cobb would have gone back to his cotton plantation in Georgia when he was suspended few weeks ago for hurling his bat at a tantalizing bleacherite.
 Tyrus Raymond is working under a $15, 900 contract with the Tigers which runs out this year. It is most likely that the Georgia peach would be given the same stipend for years to come for he draws twice that amount at the gate for the Tigers. But Tvs de- termination to quit is due to the fact that he doesn't have to play baseball for a. living. He is rich in' this worlds goods and can retire now and live a life of luxury for the remainder of his days. He has invested shrewdly of the money he has earned on the diamond and his income is probably as great as any player in the game, with the possible exception of Christy MatheWson.
 But if Cobb quits the fans will alone be responsible, says Hugh Jennings. The Georgia peach is tired of being abused, when he doesn't have to put up with it.

against Pell, at least, his service was hard to handle and he easily outplaced and outmanoeuvred his opponent.
 Mclaughlin piled up an unusual number of nets and outs for him and appeared to be in doubt at times as to just where to play in court. Most of the time he stayed near the base line, driving forehapd and backhand with fair success past Peli when the latter attempted to take the net. Occasion ally he would come up to the net him. self. and there he was the old comet hammering the ball with terrific force for sure points. Mclaughlin also un. covered a change of pace new for him by sharply chopping the ball from mid court just over the net, the ball having little rise or force after 1t struck the ground. Pelfs most effective stroke was backhand cross court shot which appeared Go puzzle Mclaughlin, as it passed him for many placement aces.
 William M. Johnston, the playing through champion, disposed of Nathan 1el w. Niles even more easily. John ston played fully up to the game which won him the title a year ago and com pletely outclassed the Boston expert who was unable to handle successfully the San Francisco experts service and returns. Johnston showed an all around game playing equally well from the base line or close to the net, and his footwork indicated tha the was in ex- cellent physical condition.
 George M. Church, considered to be one of the most formidable of the play CTS left in the tournament, easily ran through Eugene M Warren, a young CT member of tho Pacific coast ccntin. gent: and R. Norris Williams, 2d, of Philadelphia. winner of the 1914 t1tle disposed of Cedric A. Major in straight sets, once he settled down to serious play. Williams. however, was much more cratic than when he defeated Robert Leroy on Wednesday. Clar- ence J. Griffin, champion with John ston in doubles was not forced to ex- tend himself in winning from William M. Rand, 3d, of Rye, N. Y.; and Doug las s, Walters, the southern champion entered the fourth round as the result ia default on the part of G. A. L.
