The astonishing total Of "a home

season by outfielder Besse, OF the Nc
Alester team in the Western sssocia-
tion. Some folks claim that his achieve
ment probably is due to the fact that
there are some short fences I'm the cir
cult. but the records Of the other play
ers in that league do not compare with
Besse's in the circuit clout line. II
BESSIE was aided by short fences. why
weren't the others? The answer seems
10 be that this Besse is a slugger Tar
beyond the average.
BESSIE made only 121 hits during the
season. for su average Of PSI but the
remarkable feature about his record
is that more than half OF his safeties
were extra basers. In addition to "a

RICH HAUL MADE
BY N.Y. ROBBERS

New York. Oct. 24.-One Of the
biggest robberies that has occurred
about New York in years was report
ed to the police today. when Frank
Grey Griswold., prominent Wall street
and sporting man, told Of burglars
entering his Long Island home last
night and escaping with jewelry and
silver valued at between $50. 900 and
500. 900.
This estimate OF the loss was
made by Griswold and his wife, who
motored in to headquarters to report
the robbery.
Griswold, his wife and her daugh-
ter, Miss Mary Canheld, are believed
to have been chloroformed by the
robbers at the Griswold house, one
Of the show places on Long Island.
Griswold and Mrs. Griswold told the
police they awoke this morning with
a severe headache and the daughter
was i'll. In one of the rooms was
found a rag or handkerchief, which
was believed to have been saturated
with chloroform and TO have been
used in rendering members OF the
household unconscious: Footprints
were found in all OF the sleeping
rooms The burglars apparently
took their time. They ransacked
drawers and closets throughout the
house, opened jewel cases and picked
out only the most costly gems, and
piled the empty boxes up behind cur
tains in rooms on the lower floor,
All indications were that the rob-
bcrs came to the house and escaped

Berlin. Oct. 24..-Two powerful

Field Marshal Won Mackensen's
German Bulgarian-Turkish forces

Field Marshal Won Falkenhayn has
resumed the offensive and is carry
Ing the battle to the Roumanians at
several different places on Rouman-
Ian soil.
II is believed here that serious
riots will occur In the Roumanian
capital when news Of the loss OF Rou-
mania's only important seaport Is
made public. Won Mackensen's rather
easy victory at Constanxa was due
partly to the Russo -Roumanians' lack
OF artillery, IL is understood here.
When Won Falkenhayn began
sweeping the Roumanians out Of
Transylyania. the Roumanians has
tily shifted guns from DobrudjA to
the Transylvanian passes to check
the invasion Of their western borders.
The Russians brought reinforcements
In men to Dobrudja. but were unable
to bring adequate artillery equipment
and the enemy batteries were unable
to offer effective opposition to the
Teutonlc advance.
One report from Sofa today said
that Constanza was won with hardly
any hghting, the Roumanians evacu-
ating shortly after German detach-
ments cut the railroad TO the west,

WOMEN'S VOTES

BY BOTH PARTIES.

New York, Oct. "a, Four million
women's votes are not to be sneezed
at this presidential year.
The two big parties admitted this
frankly today. and said they are turn
Ing every possible attention to wooing

the women would be- for them. but

As the republican woman's branch

will not be a determining factor. Wo-
men will reason for themselves and
vote AS they see NJ. though We be-
lieve they will see that Wilson Is their
best hope"
They are very earnest folk the
women campaigners. A few around
headquarters OF both parties looked
as though this hunt for the elusive
vote might be fad. but for the most
part they had their coats on and we're
hustling.
Both sides are making a big drive
on strictly economic questions. argu-
Ing that what Affects men also affects
women.
