TRAIN PLOWS INTO CROWD
Five New Jersey Workmen Walking
Aionu Track Are Killed.


Passaic, N. j., Nov. 30.-Five men
were killed and at least seven others
injured when a passenger train on
the Lackawanna railroad plowed
through a crowd of 400 employees of
the Canadian Car and Foundry COM
pany who were walking along the
tracks to a special train which was
to take them from the plant at Kings
land to their homes in this city, Ho-
boken, Jersey City and Newark.
The men who lost their lives and
most of the injured were negroes.
They were thrown into a panic as the
express bore down upon them and
before they could clear the tracks the
train had struck them.
The engineer declared many of them
appeared bewildered and instead of
trying to get off the tracks kept on
running straight ahead of the train
as he tried to stop 1t.

the coming year to succeed Fred Mitchell.
 MitchelPs three year contract with the Braves will prevent his return as coach of the Harvard team the coming spring.
 It is said that Snodgrass would not be averse to giving up big league base ball to take up the coaching work.
 Umpire Eason Frozen Out.
 It is difficult to understand the idea o ia person being capable enough to umpire year after year in major league and yet be regarded as hardly capable enough for worlds series work. Yet that seems to describe the case of Nal Eason, who has been calling balls and strikes or making decisions on the bases in the National league for six or seven years. Nal apparently is com petent enough to hold the position daily, but he is always overlooked when worlds series time rolls around
 Empires who have come into the league since his advent have been chosen to work in the October classic, but Nal has never heard the good news. Bob Emslie has never umpired in a worlds series, but in a measure Bob has not been overlooked. He gave up calling balls and strikes some time ago and desires no worlds series assignment which will bring him back behind the bat.

 Volga, champion three year old mare, started to beat her mark of 2.04 12, but tired in the stretch after trotting the third quarter in 30 1-4, and com pleted the mile in 2.05 IA.
 These two exhibitions featured the final program, the three races on the card being won in straight heats. Locust Bug took the 2.20 trot, Little Frank D. the 2-10 pace and BinviIIe the PIP trot.

Hal Leaf finished the mile without a driver. All the horses were placed by the judges. Hal Leaf getting third place in the first heat and win ming second money in the race.
 Though the official program was completed today the meeting will be continued tomorrow to permit horse men to start 30 horses for records.

Boston, Oct. 12.-The Boston Amer jeans firmly clamped the champion ship laurels of the baseball universe when they defeated the Brooklyn Ma tiona1s by score of to 1 in the fifth and final game of the worlds series of 1916.
 Greatest Crowd in History.
 The greatest gathering fin the his- tory of the American national sport witnessed the victory. 42,620 fans de- parting after the contest convinced machine par excellence of recent years.
 AS result of the four games to one conquest ever the standard bearers of the National League Boston is to- night celebra ting it's fifth victory in worlds series since 1903 and there is added joy to the fact that never in irs history has Boston team been forced to boy to the superior prowess of a rival in such combat.
 A Decisive Victory.
 The victory over the Superbas in the final meeting of the teams was so clean cut and decisive that there was ldft no ground for argument. That the peter combination won the champion ship despite the determined battles put up by Brooklyn in the earlier games of the series was obvious. Be- fore the speed and curves of Ernest Shore. of East Bend, N. C.. the Su- perbas were well nigh helpless while 'Jeff' Pfeffer, the last hope of Brooklyn, proved uneaqual to the task of holding the Red Sox in check
 Although the Nationals were first to score, their advantage was short lived and once the Bostons unIimbered ft16fT hoo regarding the outcome of the game was dissipated so closely did Shore hold the Brooklyn clan in the mystery of his deceptive delivery. The invaders from Greater New York were able to score but three hits for a similar to- tai of bases and the solitary run scored was, unearned. It was the re- suit of a pass, a sacrifice, an out and passed ball. Boston, on the other hand collected ten bases on seven hits and two of it's four runs were earned. Modern Enthusiasm.
 Although the contest was played be- fore a record breaking throng of fans there was only a moderate amount of enthusiasm. the chilling weather and the ease with which the Red Sox dis posed of their opponents dulIing the edge of such outbursts as sprang from grandstands and bleachers at the more thrilling points of the game. The day was bitter cold with a piercing wind from the east and while the sun shone from a c1oudless sky there was little, if any, warmth in it's rays. The 42,620 spectators who paid s83S73 to witness the triumph of the American League champions, camn prepared for the Novemberlille weather. Overcoats. furs, wraps, heavy gloves and in fact everything except earlaps were much In evidence and fully appreciated by their fortunate wearers.
 Aside from Shores clever cold weather hurling and sensational run ing shcestriSg catch by Wheat off .hore in the fifth inning and it's mate y Lewis in the eighth. when he rob- ped Merllle, batting for Pfeffer. of an apparently sure double, the game was devoid of feature plays
