about the desert. The most conspicu

KANSAS CITY, Nov, 14.-As a north bound train on the Mis- souriPacific railroad was enter ing this city tonight its sleeping car passengers were held up and robbed of their yaluables by two unknown highwaymen.

NEW YORK A review of the major league baseball season, which ended with the playing of the re cent worlds series, discloses a mum ber of rather unusual features. The pennant races in both the National and American leagues were closer and better sustained than has been the ease for some years. In the American league every club with the exception of St Louis and Phila- delphia, led the league at week-ends, one or more times while the same honor fell to but three clubs in the National; first place being held in every case by either Brooklyn, Phila delphia or Boston.
 From figures compiled from the official box scores it is shown that Brooklyn the pennant winner was second in the total number of runs scored in the senior league with New York first and Philadelphia third Brooklyn collected the great est number of hits during the sea son with Cincinnati second and New York third. Brooklyn made the least number of errors with Cincin- natl second in this respect and Phila- delphia third. Brooklyn had more players left on bases than any other club in the National league, with
