The Presidential Election is Still in Doubt
SALE Of THE
BOSTON AMERICANS
Sold Within Month After Winning
the Worlds series-May Be
More Changes.

New York, Nov. 8-The sale OF the
Boston American League club within
month after the team had won the
worlds championship is thought BY
many close followers OF baseball poll
tics to mark the first OF a number Of
changes and readjustments in major
league circles. Former President J.
j. Lannin made no secret Of the fact
that the Red sox were for sale and II
rumors and inner circle gossip can be
accepted at face value, several other
! club owners are Just as willing to dis
pose Of their holdings, but lack the
frankness OF Lannin.
The president OF the Boston Ameri.
cans placed price of s750.00O upon
the club early in the present year and,
II is understood. was offered and re-
fused 100000. Under the circum.
stances the sale OF the Red Sox, while
the glamor Of the worlds series vic.
tory was still fresh. at s675,000 ap-
pears in the light Of a compromise.
Judging from past results and attend
ance figures at Boston the new owners
made an excellent deal when the value
OF the club, franchise and park prop
erty is taken into consideration.
The Boston club entered the Ameri-
can League in 1901 and since that
season has won the junior league pen.
nant five times and the worlds cham
pionship three times. In the sixteen
years the Red Sox have finished
fourth or better every season except
In ls06-1's and 1911. The average po-
sition OF the team for the full period
works out as 3h. Furthermore Bos-
ton has always been noted as a good
baseball town, supporting its clubs
with consistency, whether winners or
not.
Harry Frazee. the new head Of the
club. while young man. has always
been a close follower Of sports and is
far from being q novice in the promot.
ing line. In addition to his many the
atrical ventures. he has backed sever
al sporting events OF more than ordi.
nary prominence. including the
heavyweight championship bout at
Havana, Cuba. when Jess Willard
wrest the title from Jack Johnson. As
a result he does not enter big league
baseball circles without preliminary
training. Because OF his knowledge
OF the amusement trend OF the
American public. Frazee should prove
a valuable addition to the roster OF
baseball magnates.

like an accurate forecast could be
made.

favorable to Wilson and during the
morning hours the Democrats were

Torpedo That Gives Promise of Effectiveness.

What may eventually prove to be e highly effective war implement, and, If so. possibly render present heavy ar tillery obsolete for long range opera lions, Is 6 self-controlled aerial tor pedo that has lately been developed in Colorado. IL is described in the Au- gust number of Popular Mechanics Magazine. In general way, the in- strument attempts to accomplish over land what the United States navy's new wireless torpedo does at sea. Its principle and method of operation, of course, are entirely different. As Is to be inferred. 1t consists of small aircraft-much like an ordinary bi. plane-carrying large, high-explosive torpedo which 1t Is designed to drop at any predetermined spot within a certain radius. The projectile, which Is about twelve feet In length, forms the body of the machine and is divided Into two compartments. The propel- Ter is mounted at the front end of 1t, while the shaft extends through the entire torpedo to the rear compart. ment where an 1s-horsepower motor Is housed. The speed and course of the machine are regulated by means of 6 gyroscopic mechanism, while tim ing device of some sort releases the engine containing missile at the prop.

Mirrors in Wearing Apparel Establishment.

A dealer in wearing apparel, noticing that his stout customers and his very thin customers often were sensitive as to their figures, installed two full length mirrors of special design, says Popular Mechanics magazine. One was slightly cOncave and the other slightly convex. When stout customer tried on a suit she was led to the concave mirror for self-inspection. and was able to see her figure as it would appear with its measurements reduced. When a thin person came in to try on clothes she was taken to the convex mirror, where the opposite effect was pro duced.
