HIGGINS WON'T LACK FOR
GOOD BASEBALL PLAYERS

NEW YORK, Nov 3.-Miller Hug
gins said yesterday that he had heard
enough about the Yankees to believe
that comparatively little strengthen
ing would make them winning base
ball team. He probably was right,
Before they were cut to pieces by
injuries the Yankees showed consid-
cradle ability. Early last season they
looked strong, and as late as August,
Bill Donovan had them well up in the
race. If their entire material can be
kept out of the hospital there is quite
a lot with which to build.
In the first place, they always have
had good pitching staff. Caldwell,
Fisher, Shawky, Shocker, Cullop, MoS-
ridge, Love, McGraw, Russell, Ross,
Piercy, Monroe and the rest all are
hurlers that other clubs would wei
come ! 1t sometimes has seemed that
the club had too many pitchers for its
own good and would have done bet
ter to select few of them and work
them regularly.
Walters is a star behind the bat
and Nunamaker Is veteran who
knows opposing batteries and who can
wallop the ball He also is exceed
ingly fast for big man.
Peckinpaugh is truly great short
stop, one of the greatest, and Pipp is
a good first baseman who never has
quite played up to his capabilities.
Baker ia still dangerous hitter and
there is no reason why he should, not
have another good year, although he
is not as fast as he used to be.
Marsans and Gilhooley appear to be
capable out1elders. Whether they
can hit hard enough to retain their
positions remains to be seen The
outfeld must have couple Of hitters
before the Yanks tack any remnants
to the club house wall. Also the out
field must prevent opponents from
third on short flies. Several games
were lost that way the past season.
The first thing that Higgins VIII
have to dig up, therefore is second
baseman and somehitters. They may
be with the club right now, but if
they are they have kept it secret from
the owners and the management. The
new leader will have plenty to oe-
cupy his time and more gray hair
than he has now before the Yankees
capture flag.
No announcement has been made
as to who will take the place of Hug
gins in St. Louis. The man most
often mentioned for the job is Ira
Thomas. 1t is known that Branch
Hickey has great regard for Connie
Mack's old lieutenant, but whether
Ira would wish to tackle the job OF
running the Cardinals is uncertain
He is said to have a good outside
business that takes most of his time

DISTRICT BOARD SELECTING
THIRD Quota FOR CAMP
TAYLOR.

Advices were received here yester-
terday to the effect that the Third
District Exemption Board, which a
In session at Lexington, has begun
the work of selecting the third
quota of forty per cent. of the Ma
tional army. which is to be ready to
move to Camp Zachary Taylor at
Louisville, on October 6, according In
the announced program of Provost
General Crowder.
Chairman Prichard has gone to
his home in Ashland for a brief re-
spite before getting into this ex-
acting work this week, but a member
of the Board stated to a Paris man
that in view of the fact that the War
Department has arranged for. the
mobilization of the third contingent
the first week in October, no time Is
to be lost in selecting the men who
are to compose the next forty per
cent. and that the Board has already
begun scanning The lists before them.
While no negroes have been taken
yet on either of the quotas which
have been sent to the Louisville cam
Torment, it is thought by members of
the District Board thatthe next call
will include them. The colored con-
scripts have been regularly certif-
ed, the same as the white men, but
so far no provisions have been made
by the War Department to enlist
them in the service.
For the past few days the Board
has been busy cleaning up a large
number of exemption cases, and it
was stated that this week they will
be hard at work getting the third
quota of forty per cent. ready.

WASHINGTON BARES. AMAZING
STORY OF GERMAN INTRIGUE

The American Governments pub
Lefty spotlight revealing German in
trigue in neutral lands was turned
upon the expenditure of money by
the Berlin Foreign Office in an eff
fort to influence Congress on the eve
of the ruthless submarine campaign
which drove the United States to
war.
Secretary Lansing made public
without comment message which
Count Won Bernstorff sent to Berlin
last January asking authority to use
fifty thousand dollars to influence
Congress through an organization
which the Foreign Office was remind
ed had performed similar service be-
fore. T.
Count Won Bernstorff also suggest
ed an official declaration in favor Of
Ireland because of it's effect here.
The organization to be employed
was not named. Mr.. Lansing did not
discuss its identity. 1t was freely
suggested among officials that it was
one of the societies which bombarded
the Senate and House with kilograms
when the President was asking for a
declaration of war. 9

PARIS ASSURED OF ELECTRIC
CURRENT.

There will be no danger of a short
age of electric current for lighting
and power purposes in Paris, accord
ing to a statement made yesterday
to THE NEWS by representatives of
the Paris Gas G. Electric Company.
Even with the present threatening
conditions the Paris plant has enough
coal on hand to keep the machinery
going for five weeks, during which
time or sooner it is probable the sit
uation will be relieved.
A copy of the following telegram,
the original of which had been sent
to Mayor James c. Rogers, of Lex
ington, by Mr.. n. A. Garfield, head
of the Government Fuel Control
Board at Washington, has been re-
ceived at the local Office.
"Suppliers of Lexington Utilities
Company and Kentucky Traction and
Terminal Company have been direct
to keep these plants in operation.
Understand shortage due to strike in
certain Tennessee and Kentucky
mines, which will receive immediate
attention and action"
This Government action has saved
this section from coal famine,
which caused fear that the LeXing-
ton Utilities Company, furnishing
electrical power 20 the greater part
of Central Kentucky, would be fore
ed to stop operations, leaving the
whole community without lights, tel
ephones, interurban communication
or electric power. Quick steps by
the Government are now promised,
and the action, it is believed, will
mean the complete solution of the
coal problem in Eastern Kentucky
mines, which has caused the state Of
anxiety for more than week.
Locally the situation remains the
same. There is little or no coal
coming in, and while there is no
great demand for it, the people are
anxious to know what the pros
poets will be for the future. 1t is
source of great satisfaction to know
that there will be no curtailment of
electrical current in this city.

SEND LITERATURE TO THE ARMY

An appeal for old magazines, pa
pers and any kind of good reading
matter, not too old, though, has been
made to the people of Paris by rep

effect from the pulpits OF the Paris
churches yesterda". Anyone who has
a lot of magazines of recent date, pa
pers and other forms of reading mat
ter for which they have no further
use, are asked to pack them for ship
ment and they will be sent to the
navy by addressing them to Mr.. Har-
ris as follows:
Harold F. Harris,
Hospital Steward,
u. S. S. Panther,
Care Postmaster,

This is a worthy cause, and one
which should have the co1oper-
alton of every citizen of the city and
county. A large number Of maya
zines and other reading matter are
thrown away by the readers after
they are through with them. These
could be Of further use by sending
