the Browns and there would not be
chance to buy St. Louis Fed play
ers.
The only place Kauff has anything
on Tobin is in batting, ~Tobin is as
fast on the bases, plays fiy-hit balls
better and thrown better.
Tobin batted .299 in the Fed league
last season. He made more hits than
any other player, 1856. His nearest
rival was Ed Konetchy, who made
179.
Tobin ranked second in the number
of bases made on his hits, third in
scoring runs and fourth in honors.
Combination of the two ST. Louis
clubs gives the Browns pretty sweet
looking outfeld. Besides Tobin,
Manager Fielder Jones will have Ar
mando Marsans, the Cuban, who also
comes over from the Fed club; Shot
ten, Red Walker and Howard.
Fielder Jones, manager of the ST,
Louis Americans, has an idea that
comes pretty close to being pipe
dream. 1t involves the erection of a
baseball plant that will seat 100000
and be used only for world series
games.
The plant should be built in some
neutral city, probably in the south
where the weather would be good for
baseball in October. He says it would
not make much difference where the
plant was located, the fans would
travel many miles to see the big
games if they knew they would be
sure to get seats.
1.-THE world series is really some
thing apart from the National and
American league races says Jones.
ct is the grand climax of the two
stirring races and appeals as much to
the fan in Bangor, Maine, as to the
fan in Portland, Ore. Il

could chip in to defray expenses.
"The world series adVertises itself
because fans think about the big
games from the start of the season to
the finish. The big revenue from
seats would pay for the plant in a
short time, even if seats were sold
for smaller prices than they are

CHANCES OF BEING MURDERED
JUST EIGHT OUT OF 100000
b There are eight chances out of
100000 that you will be murdered.
Bloodcurdingly, yes, but true, ac-
cording to statistics just compiled by
Frederick L. Hoffman of New York.
1t means that 5000 residents of
the country are murdered each year.
Memphis leads all other American
cities in the number of capital crimes
yearly. There the murders in 1914
amounted to 1872 persons for every
100000 population.
Charleston, S. c., is second with
1873 persons of every 100000.
Chicago had in ten years 1866
murders, the average murder rate
being 9.3 persons in every 100000.
The rate for San Francisco is 11.8,
Cincinnati, II; Seattle, 81; Spokane,
7.8, and Washington, rs.
The lowest rate of cities checked
up is that of Milwaukee, which av-
erages "a for the ten-year-period, al
though it's rate was 81 in 1914.
