Hurt All Clubs.

zone can go into the affairs Of every
member of the association and find
where the veteran rule interfered
with strengthening the clubs. Water
loo was compelled to let Second Base
man Finnegan go when it was dis
covered that Lee Hart is a veteran.
Manager Brennan did not know Hart
had played in enough games to make
him a veteran until he was informed
by Frank Boyle that this was the
case 1t was then up to Manager
Brennan to turn a veteran loose.
when Whaley and Davis injured
their salary wings last spring, Man
eyer Brennan found it almost impos-
sible TO secure right handlers who
we're not veterans. He was offered
no lees than four good right hand
twirlers, but every man was veteran
and could not be used. The result
was that Waterloo had to drift along
with three left-hand pitchers, one too
many for any club.
president Justice has been quoted
as saying he will leave the matter to
the directors of the league. He has
ordered thirty-six Muscatfne victories
thrown out of the standings, and If
they are put back again it will be
because the league directors say so.
1t is doubtful If the directors will take
this stand, which would be unfair to
Marshalltown and every other mem
Der of the league.
"In the meantime Marsha1ltown and
Muscatine may both claim their teams
won the pennant."

Not Good sportsnan.

1T is unsportsmanlike for Ned Egan
to appeal to the national commission
at this time. That Egan should be
benefited through the enforcement Of
the rule last year and its non-enforce-
ment this year, is point no one will
consider is fair. Egan had no more
right to carry six veterans than any
other club. Clinton and Marshalltown
could undoubtedly have strengthened
their clubs greatly during the season
had they been permitted to use an
other veteran. Manager Brown de-
clared recently that he had been
forced to carry young Corrigan at
short, an admittedly weak man, when
but for the veteran rule he could have
signed a valuable player who. Brown
declared. would have put his team out
in front Of Muscatine in spite of the
six Musky veterans. The Ansons
were sadly In need Of a twirler when
Penner was injured, and the injury
came at the most critical period of
the race. With both of these clubs
prevented from adding veterans to
their list, will any fair-minded per
son say the rule should be violated
by Muscatine and no action taken by
President Justice?

Writing in the Waterloo Times
Tribune, A. e. Johnson, sports writer
for that paper, and statiStician OF the
Central Baseball association, declares
that Marshalltown is entitled to the
1916 pennant, may rightfully claim 1t,
and that the veteran rule should be
upheld by the league directors.
In his article, published in the Wat
erloo paper Friday morning, Mr.. John
son says:
ut isn't often that baseball league
has two claimants to the pennant at
the close of season. However, this
Is the present situation in the Central
association. Muscatine and MARSHALL
town both claim the flag. Although
both will undoubtedly continue to
claim the honors, 1t remains to be
seen which will get the emblem-
Getting right down to cold facts.
Marshalltown is entitled to the PEN
nant. It makes no difference whether
the five-veteran rule is constitutional
or unconstitutional. 1t was rule OF
the Central association, adopted by
every member Of the league. It was
upheld last year. even though cussed
and kicked by nearly every city in
the league. When games were thrown
out last year and Clinton sent to the
bottom of the percentage column, no
action was taken by the national COM
Certainly the national COM
mission could have acted without
specific protest. No one was more
active on having games thrown out
last year than was Muscatine. 1t was
Muscatine which unearthed the fact
that Pitcher Cooper was a veteran.
and 1t was on this point that Keokuk
was showed out OF second place and
Clinton to the bottom.

THE JAWS OF DESTRUCTION.

THE JAWS OF DESTRUCTION.
But this is preposterous, Captain
Bracket" declared Enoch Golden
somewhat heatedly. Il would as
soon think Of accusing my own
daughter Of being the Laughing Mask
as this boy, who has stood by me
through all my troubles
I'm sorry, Mr. Golden, but the law
must take it's course" answered the
smug-faced police officer. II didn't
make any move until was sure of
what I was doin', though I've had
my suspicious ever since found this
here piece of joolry on your library
floor the time the Laughing Mask
gave us the slip"
Fishing in deep side pocket, he
drew out a gold cuff link with the let
ers d. M. monogramed on it's oval
face. Turning complacently to the
manacled and detected secretary
who stood near by he extended the
shining trinket on the palm of his
beefy hand
you'll have to do lot of explain
dered at Davy in a thira-degree
voice, land since you say you amt
the Laughing Mask, you might as
well commence by tellin' us how he
happened to drop this sleeve button
with your initials on it,"
The young man seemed to be slowly
celebrating as he glanced around
that ring of grave-faced listeners,
waiting anxiously for his reply. He
saw the perturbed expression Of his
employer, the gently trustful face of
Mrs. Golden, and then his gaze rested
on the slender, haired girl whose
eyes met his with a look Of tender
sympathy. He turned away with q
little gesture of futility, his head
dropping YEARLY forward.
II guess you'll have to do your
duty, captain" came his low-toned
reply. II have no explanation TO offer
you"
AS the openly exultant officer OF the
law laid a heavy hand on Davys
shoulder to lead him from the room
his glance happened to fall on a
richly woven lace curtain swaying in
the gentle breeze from the open
window. The next instant his
jaw dropped in blank amazement.
From behind that lace hanging
stepped familiar figure holding a
stubby, black automatic in his hand.
His features were hooded by yellow
mask, the mouth-slit curving into an
enigmatic smile.
1.-THE Laughing Mask!" involun-
tarily burst from the astounded
group.
Entirely at your service" came the
knocking rejoinder. Then he cried
tersely, Throw up your hands, all of
you." and his wavering automatic
suddenly came to rest, aimed square
ly at the dumfounded police captain
who was surreptitiously reaching for
his revolver.
He quickly crossed to that silently
raging guardian Of the peace and ex-
tracted the yellow bit of metal from
his unwilling fingers. Then with lev
eled weapon he backed slowly to the
open window, and, leaping out with
an agile spring, vanished from the
sight of that little assemblage. Over
come with the very audacity of this
daring stroke. they stood for a mo-
ment staring at the open window,
then came hurried stampede out of
the house to cut off the retreat OF the
masked fugitive.

piled, mot when we know the Laugh

hand not half an hour ago." Then
he solemnly ennunciated, David
Manley, you are under arrest!"
With these words he dexterously
slipped the handouts over the secre-
tary's wrists and snapped the steel
bracelets together with a sharp and
ominous click.

BECKLEY BEATS ALLING
Republicans Ousted From Control of Berlin After Bitter Fight-Town
 Votes to Remain in License Column.

Berlin, Oct. 2.-Norman l.. Becklev the democratic nominee for first se- Iectman, carried this district in to- sday's election over Judge Willard I. All1ng of Kensington by 93 to 6s The election was the cu1n1ination of the hottest campaign this town has ever seen. Dissatisfied with William H. Gib ney, who filled the position for the past fourteen years, a republican machine nominated Judge Alling at the recent caucus. The vets trillmphed over the drys in this district by a vote of 1O5 to 63.
 It was announced at 3 o'clock this afternoon that Kensington had gone license by a majority of 156 and it is conceded that Berlin itself will be carried by the vets after one of the liveliest battles in the history of the town. The polls closed at o'clock and counting began at once.
 East Berlin went no license by 20, according to telephone message from that village at 2:30 o'clock.
 From an unofficial source 1t was learned at 3:3O o'clock that Beckley had carried the district of Kensington by a majority slightly over 100. This insures his election no matter what the outcome in East Berlin.

EIGHT VICTIMS OF
 WRECK UNIDENTIFIED
Recovery of Many Others Is Not Considered Prob
 able.

Detroit, Mich, Oct. 2.-Not one of the eight persons killed in the crash of Grand Trunk switch engine push ing three freight cars. and a cross town trolley car at Forest Avenue and Dequinder street, on the east side last midnight, had been identified at an early hour today. The bodies were so terribly mutilated that identif1ca- ton was impossible. Of the fifty three persons injured several are so seriously hurt that their recovery is doubtful. Those possibly fatally in- jured include:
 Roman Napthsky, fractured skull.
 Anthony Fronceak, both legs cut off.
 Annie Dronskock, internal injuries and scalp wounds
 Three unidentified men, badly in jured and unconscious.
 The switch engine, with the three freight cars ahead, was south bound and the trolley was going west on Forest Avenue toward the center of the city. One of the freight cars caught the trolley almost in the center and swung it off the tracks until it stood almost parallel with the moving freight cars Most of those who met death wore killed by jump ing from the windows and falling under the wheels of the freight cars.
 Five separate investigations are ex- pected to be under way today in an effort to place responsibility for the accident They will be made by the state railroad commission, the cor oner's office. the prosecuting attorney, the Grand Trunk Railway and the Detroit United Railway.
 No trace had been found early to- day of the gateman at the crossing.
 Conflicting stories were told py the few persons who witnessed the crash. One was to the effect that there were no lights on the freight car that struck the trolley and an- other that the crossing gates were not lowered.
 Tast nights accident was the sec ond to occur this year at the Forest Avenue crossing.
 Valentine Choinski, gateman for the Grand Trunk Railway at us Eorest avenue crossing, was taken ;,to custody today. His detention was tbe first phase of an investigation by +ba nrosecuting attorney of the grade crossing accident at midnight last night.
 County officials also have detained William Carter, motorman ana AleN- ander Clistre, conductor who were III charge of the street car, ana Henry Gibson. engineer, and Robert okeefe' f,aigb+ conductor. Choinski a cripple. and employed by the railroad company only a few days ago. was on duty when the cars came together, but left the scene of the accident and r7.S not found until this morning.

No License Workers Active on 47
 Baf ftIe Fronts Today
BARLEY CORN ON DEFENSIVE
Interest Centers in Kent, WiIlimantic Manchester, Putnam and Winsted Where Both Forces Have Waged Active Preliminary Campaign.

New Haven, Oct. 2.-The question of license or no license was being fought out at the polls today in forty-seven of the 16S towns of the state at the annual little town elec- tions. Of the towns in which the liquor question was a prominent issue t1irty-four were license and thirteen no license Vigprous campaigns have been waged and interest in the out come was keen.
 The town of Kent which has been in the dry column for twelve years has had one of the warmest license fights in it's history and today both sides were making every effort to get out a big vote The last time the question was voted upon the majority against granting permission for the sale of liquor in the tow was so large that it was not thought likely by many that the question would come up again.
 With the growth of automobile traffic, however some of the local business men decided that a hotel here was desirable and this they be- lieve could be operated profitably if 1t had a license to sell liquor. The project has been fought vigorously by
 
 Een's organization, one of the fore m ost advocates of no license being Rev. Father Sill of the Holy Cross Brotherhood an Episcopal organiza- tion, and head of the Kent school The dry" forces closed~their cam raign last night with a big rally
 Hot campaigns have also been car r1ed on in Willimantic, Manchester, Putnam and Winsted. Tn the latter place where license is the only issue to be decided elaborate preparations were made for ensuring the presence or voters at the polls. Extensive au- tomob1le service had been arranged by beth sides and one of the largest fac tories had arranged to close for two hours to permit it's employees to vote, 5 Consternation spread amorg the dry advocates in New Hartford today when a bundle of no-license ballots could not be found. The polls opened at o'clock and it was an hour ateT be- fore the missing ballots were located in the office of printer whosa illness had delayed their delivery

THAT FIRST GAME
Braves Field, Boston, Expected to Be Scene of Initial Clash in Battle fo1. Worlds Championship.

7 New York, Oct; 2.-It appears al- most certain that the opening game of the worlds series will be played at Braves Field, in Boston, beginning Oct. or 7. The suggestion has been made to the national commission that tse usual formality of tossing coin for the privilege of staging the initial contests be dispensed with this season and the first two games award ed to Boston Americans. The sug- gestion is put forward by the off, cials of the latter club and in all probability will be adopted by the commission if acceptable to the Ma tional league club owners, who are considering the proposition.
