honors. If those honors are to be at
tanned. 1t cannot be said that Tes-
reau, Perritt and Anderson, the three
right-handers of consequence on the
Giants staff, have done enough tight
pitching this year to rate them as
though any one of them is perfectly
capable, now and then, of pitching
shutout ball, and might pick a world S
series date to get such a game out Of
his system.
Chicago's big three, as far as can be
told at this distance, would be Eddie
Cicotte, exponent of the shine ball,
and a right-hander; Red Faber, right
handler, and Dave Danforth, left
handler
Perritt and Tesreau are the two
Giant right-handers who may be eX-
pected to come into prominence one
way or another in the worlds series.
OF these. Tesreau has had experience
In two of the big shows, but in Meth
er did he distinguish himself, and
most critics do not consider him as
good now as ne was then. Perritt may,
take Tesreau's place, and may do it
well, but he has not been consistent
enough in his work to warrant pin
ming great faith on him.
CIeOtte's Quick Delivery.
This year Cicotte has taken up the
famous shine ball, which is mystery
to all observers, and has been regu-
lar wizard. IL he can keep his pace
through the worlds series, it is diff
cult to see how the Giants could hit
him. His skinner" must be extraordi-
narily difficult for teams that have
never seen 1t before, when it has stood
crack batters on their heads after
they have been against him in three
or four series. On the other hand, if
Cicotte should fail to get off well,

If the belief is current that the
White Sox will have bit of bulge
on the Giants when the two teams
meet this fall it is not shared by the
Giants themselves. McGraw's scrappy
and high-priced talent are getting
more and more het up over the notion
that the American leaguers are going
to show them something. The Giants
may be said to be champing at the bit.
If the Giants win the series the old
National league will be pleased to
hear of it, as the National league has
suffered most frequently in the big
a sad one for the National league and
a worlds championship banner this
year would cheer ii up quite a bit.
Regarding mere dope on the Giants
chances ii is seen that the averages
give them a slight advantage in bat
ting strength. This is the only appar-
ent advantage they do have, and 1t
may, or may not be. the result of in
ferior pitching in the National league,
If you want to look at ii in that way;
or, rather, to a larger number of crack
pitchers in the American league. Still,
the Giants average has been compiled
by men who are VIGOROUSLY good hit
tors. and it would be unfair to belittle
their performances with the willow.
Any short series is determined
largely by the factors of pitching and
luck. The seven-gan1e series between
the Giants and White Sox should turn
on the pitchers, and there the fan has
his real guesswork.
New York has three left-handed
pitchers who are showing class now
and have been showing 1t all season.
They are Slim Sallee, RUDE Benton and
Ferdie Schupp. These men are expect
ed to. carry the Giants to the world

St. Paul, Oct. 4-Judge John F.
MCGEE, who has charge Of the in
vestigation of Minnesota's coal sup

have checkers at each of the nine
Lake Erie ports, to see that proper
proportion of shipments is sent to the

coal is regarded as serious, and in
uuirers have been advised to buy
their coal now, and not delay in the
hope Of buying at a reduced price.
Judge MCGEE declared the coal
situation is serious. He left last

harvest hands who were on their
way home. They were in the La

the bandits held them up and forced
them into box cars after robbing
them.

Of the victims, succeeded in working
the car door open. Hearing the calls
Of the other two men, D. Anderson,
Anderson. Ind, and Fred Johnson.
Minneapolis, who were locked in an
other car. he released them.
The three men notified the au-
thorities at Detroit and the alarm
was sent out about o'clock yester-
day morning by Sheriff Glaum, who
came up on the local passenger as
far as Lake Park. 1t was learned
there that three men answering the
description of the hold-ups had been
seen going west Another stranger
told of hearing three men talking in
an old building near Dale, and being
ordered to get away and keep his
mouth shut" This man had come in
from the west during the night and
told the story to T. E. Vigen, one Of
police duty.
Money Is Identified.
The search for the bandits result
ed in their arrest near Dale and the
recovery Of the money, part OF 1t
easily being identified, and the other
stolen articles. The prisoners were
brought to Moorhead on the Staples
local by the two officers and held
until the train returned yesterday
The prisoners planted a bundle in
the Northern Pacific coach and it
was found to contain three revolvers
and two flashlights, wrapped in a
pair Of old overalls.
The three victims came through
on the early train to Fargo and when
Sheriff Glaum and his prisoners ar
rived in Moorhead they were called
across the river to look them over.
They fully identified all three of the
men as the robbers.

ARTILLERY FAILS.
OF RECOGNITION;
MURPHY TO MAKE.
new APPLICATION
Federal Officers Say 1t
Lacks Permanently
Strength Now Greater

The Second Minnesota artillery. Of
which Battery F. MoOrhead, is a
unit, has been denied federal recog-
milton, but the matter is being re-
opened by Col. w. J. Murphy. com
mander of the regiment. and by
Adjutant General w. f. Rhinow.
Recently. the various units Of the
Second were inspected by federal Of
ficers. and it was upon the reports
they made that the regiment was not
recognized.
Adjutant General w. F. Rhinow
was notified officially by Colonel J.
Mel Carter. acting chief Of the
militia bureau, that the Second Min
nesota field artillery has been de-
MED Federal recognition because it
is under strength, without armory
facilities and apparently formed
with no view 10 permanenCy, accord
ing to reports of recent inspection
of the batteries.
Will Renew Request.
Colonel w. J. Murphy, conferred
with General Rhinow promptly and
it was decided to renew the appli-
cations for recognition. now that the
batteries are all enlisted to greater
strength and ready to be called for
duty. II was pointed out only waiver
of the armory requirements on the
part Of the bureau will be necessary.
Colonel Murphy expressed surprise
at the attitude of the militia bur-
eau, but said he expected no further
trouble in gaining recognition.
Commenting on the special inspec
ton Of the organization intended to
make up the new artillery regiment.
Colonel Carter indicated that Battery
A, st. James reported at full strength
q hp m
vided with armory facilities and
showing the officers are qualified I'M
der the law.
After the special allusion to the
st. James organization the ruling
continues: of the other batteries
there seems little prospect. Head
quarters and supply companies may
be recognized when the regiment is
otherwise complete.
Requirements Not Met.
Discussing the inspection reports
further Colonel Carter adds that it
should be borne in mind that an en-
listed strength OF 1870 is at present
required; that armory facilities must
be provided; that persons under IS
years of age cannot be members of
the national guard, and that officers
must be selected from classes pro-
vided by law. None of these re-
quirements appear to have been |
sufficiently considered. he said.
General Rhinow said the petition |
for waiver of the armory facilities |
requirements and the renewal Of the |
petition for recognition will be made |
without delay. record inspection, |
he believes, will secure recognition |
for the new regiment in the near |
future.
