w. 81. CHARTERS SR. KILLED

Mrs. w. n. Charters Sr., and Mrs
Grady Smith and Little N

nent farmer of nine miles east of
this city was instantly killed and
his wife and daughter, Mrs. Grady
Smith, Of near Spruce and, little
granddaughter were painfully in
jured when a Ford automobile
in which they were riding was
struck and demolished by the
north bound Missouri Pacific pas
senger train at II :08. o'clock
Wednesday morning. The acci-
dent occurred at the crossing on
Ohio street Just south n1 ~ H.
pot and was witnessed by many
who were at the depot awaiting
the train.
+ The car was driven by Mrs.
Smith and Mr.. Charters, ;Sr.. o.
cupied the front seat by her side.
Mrs. Charters and Mrs. Smith q
little daughter were in the rear
seat. Mrs. Smith, who was driv-
ing at rapid rate of speed to-
ward the railway crossing, on
Ohio street apparently failed to
see the rapidly approaching
passenger train and started to
cross the tracks without, chang
ing speed. Eye witnesses to the
accident state that Chas. w. Me-
Farland, who was at the depot
and seeing the rapidly approach
ing car waved to the driver to
stop, but was apparently not seen.
The pilot of the locomotive vio-
lently struck the car just ahead Of
the rear door, throwing out the
occupants and carrying the car
about twenty yards north from
the crossing. Mr.. Charters was
instantly killed and run over by
the engine and his body badly
mangled. Mrs. Smith was thrown
and dragged some distance and
painfully cut and bruised. Mrs.
Charters was also bruised and
Esnstained a severe wrench of her
back and hips. Whether either
lady is injured internally or per-
manently is not yet known. Mrs.
Smith s little year old daughter
was cut and bruised about the
head and the flesh was scraped
from the bones of her right foot
from the instep to the ends of her
toes. Harry Custer and E. O..
McGrath, travelling man who
came in on the train, picked up
the baby and seizing a motor car
standing near by, drove to the Of
flee of DR.. ley, who, assisted by
DR.. Chastain, dressed the little
ones wounds.
Mrs. Charters and Mrs. Smith
were given emergency treatment
at the depot by DR.. lockwood of
this city and DR.. Tuttle Of Adrian
and were later taken t., the home
of w. H. Charters. Jr.. at Charter
Oak farm. Mrs. S,llth's first in
quiry OH regaining consciousness
was of her baby and she was
greatly relieved when told that
the little one was not fatally i'll
jured.
DR.. T. w. Foster as deputy
coroner, acting in the absence Of
Dr.. r. f. Crabtree, who is with
the Medical Reserve Corps at Ne
vada, was notified of the acci-
dent and took charge of the body
of Mr.. Charters. A coroners
jury was-sdmmoned and some tes-
timony taken Wednesday after
noon. The jury expects to con-
clude its work some time Thurs
day.
Funeral services for Mr.. Char
ters conducted by the Rev.. Fr.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, March "a
In the is playing days spent by the Phil
lies in camp no member OF the party has
shown so much general Improvement as
Bert Neihoff. The second-sacker is not
only playing better ball than is customary
during the opening days Of the training
period. but he is cavorting about the key
stone station with more class and pro-
ficency than during the campaign last
year.
Originally a third baseman. Nlehon,
by the force of circumstance, was showed
into the breach at the middle station last
year. Naturally, he had difficult role
to assume He had to keep step with a
championship aggregation and cover a
position to which he was. unaccustomed.
His playing, however. was much better
than is generally believed.
During the daily workout Niehoff has
improved to the extent of dispelling the re-
ports that he would he replaced at second
during the approaching campaign. He
covers a larger patch of ground, glides
along easily with Bancroft. and is handling
himself as though he was baseball's
original second-saclter.
Bert has also shown to good advantage
with the willow in the last four encoun-
ters with the Cubs. He has done his bit
the plate. His Improvement over last sea-
son, when he was beguiled by many critics,
is one of the stock topics around st. Pete.

CRANES BATTING
TO BE IMPROVED
BY HARRY DAVIS
Acting Manager Peeved at
Athletics Poor Game
With Braves
THOMPSON SHOWS WELL
By CHANDLER D. RICHTER

MIAMI, Fla, March 24.-Very much
peeved at the work of the Mackmen yes
terday afternoon, Acting Manager Harry
Davis ordered the men out to practice
this morning. II Is unusual for ball
team to practice on the road Davis be-
lieved that it was necessary If the Mack
men were to make a decent showing dur
ing the remainder of the series with the
Braves. Permission was secured to use
the old field, which is n few squares away
from the handsome little park constructed
by the Braves this winter.
Davis first move was to take Sam
Crane in hand and try to improve his
style at the plate. Harry says he does
not remember ever seeing major league
player with such poor style at the bat
Harry has noticed the peculiar movement
of Lranes forward foot in batting, and
insisted this morning that Sam keep both
feet firmly planted on the ground while
swinging.
The youngster had a great deal of trou-
BILE doing this, as the habit has grown on
him, and II is doubtful If he will be able
TO break himself. Sam bungled horribly
in the field in the first game of the series
yesterday, but Davis is not worried about
his fielding ability.
A neat little lecture was handed out on
calling for fly balls which fell just be-
yond the inield. Malone and Crane were
taken to task for making bad plays which
permitted runners caught between the
bases yesterday to get back to their base
safely or advance another peg. Three
such plays occurred yesterday, and all
were responsible for runs.
The first game was really much closer
and more interesting than the score would
indicate, despite the blunderng which
handed Boston most of it's runs. Joe Bush
and Sam Crane were the greatest Of
tenders and they handed the Braves
enough runs to clinch the victory,
The box score shows that the National
Leaguers made 10 hits, and would make
batted rather hard, but such was not the
case. Five of the 10 hits would have been
outs under ordinary conditions. but the
youngsters in Davis lineup became badly
ratified at times and stood still, while fly
balls fell safe between them.
There is no question but what the
Braves are the best team, but yesterday
was one OF those days that the best team
should not have won. The Mackmen made
three runs, two OF which were earned and
they punched their hits in fine style. The
Braves did not bungle at critical stages,
either by errors of commission, which
count in the box score or errors of oms-
sion.
II was just the opposite with the Mack
men. They made only two errors which
appear in the box score, but their pegging
to the bases and general handling of the
ball was amateurish at times. Just as
soon as they got these miscues out Of

BASKETBALL SHOULD BE MADE
A MAJOR SPORT. IN COLLEGFS

IF ANY Of the so-called minor sports has
i won the right to be classed as major"
II is basketball. Not onIy at the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania, but at other Eastern
colleges. this midwinter pastime has
beaten out ell the other indoor sports.
From the standpoint of popularity. with
students and public It Is on even terms
with football, rowing and baseball. Yet at
hardly any college in the country can a
man win his letter in basketball.
Basketball has been knocking for ad-
mission to the hall Of the major sports
at Pennsylvania for a long time, but II
has never been admitted. II the Quakers
win the intercollegiate championship,
doubtless the players will be permitted to
wear the varsity letter. But when the
game Is put to the test whio his supposed
to be applied to those of major" i'm
portance IL ought not to be necessary to
win a championship to be rewarded as a
major,
These tests are two: Number OF stu.

Big Fight for Life
of the Boxing Game
BY JOHN L. SULLIVAN

NEW YORK, March 24.-Much
more than the individual fortunes
of Jess Willard and Frank Moran
will be at stake when these two
big men crawl through the ropes
at Madison Square Garden tomor-
row night.
They will be up there fighting
for the life or death of the boxing
game, and certainly the fate at
least of the heavyweight class will
be in their hands alone during
those 10 rounds.
Therefore, there ought to be a
decisive result. There really
should be a knockout. Both Will
lard and Moran possess the punch
to put an opponent to sleep and
both men ought to be trying to
land that punch. If Moran can do
it, he will enjoy perhaps as great
popularity as any champion we
have ever had, and if Willard does
it, his victory will do much to re-
habilitate him in the eyes of the
sporting public, which has grown
rather weary of his hippodrome
tactics since he won the title.
