MAJOR LEAGUE MANAGERS
Two New Pilots Will Take Hold 1917Fred Mitchell and - Jack Barry Will Make Their Debut as Managers

Among the major league club mana gers signed up for the coming season are two brand new pilots--Jack Bar ry of the Red Sox and Fred Mitchell of the Cubs. Barry, who succeeds Bill Carrigan as leader of the worlds champions, will be the only playing manager in the American league, and most likely the only pilot performing regularly in the entire big show.
 As a player Barry ranks with the top-notchers of the game and has the distinction of being the only pastimer who has taken part in six worlds championship series. four with the Athletics and two as a member of. the Red Sox- He starred in the short field with the Athletics for seven, years and then moved over to second base. After joining the Red Sox he displayed the same brand of brilliant playing that had won distinction for, him in Philadelphia.
 Barry will be 80 years old next April His first baseball experience was gained as a member of the Holy lege in 1908 he joined the Athletics and with Eddie Collins formed one of the great Keystone combinations. Barry is married and makes his home at Worcester, Mass.
 Fred Mitchell, the new manager of the Chicago Cubs, is a veteran pas timer and coach. He began his base ball career as a pitcher for the St. J IN played with the Boston Americans during 1901 and a part of 1902 and finished the latter season with the Athletics He was with the Philadel- phia Nationals in 1903 and 1904 and with Brooklyn in 1905. The next sea- son he went to Toronto and remained there four years. While a member of the Maple Leafs Mitchell gave up pitching and became a catcher. As a catcher he returned to the big show in 1910, with the New York Aneri- cans. Later he returned to the Inter national league for a season and then became assistant to Manager George Stallings of the Braves. Last spring he coached the Harvard baseball squad and turned out one of the best Crimson teams in history. Meanwhile his reputation as a pilot had been considerably boosted by the. success ful manner in which he handled the Braves during the absence of Manager Stallings.
 Mitchell was born at Cambridge, Mass, in 1879, and with the exception of two years spent at Concord, N. H., he has always made his home in Bos- ton or it's vicinity.

LIVES OF CIRCUIT JUDGE
 AND ATTORNEY THREATENED
By Mob at Murray, Ky, When Case < Against Negro Was Continued

Paducah. Ky, Jan. 10.-The lives of Circuit Judge Charles Bush and Com monweaIth's Attorney Dennis Smith were threatened by a mob at Murray Ky, today. when the case of Lube Martin. a negro charged with killing Guthrie Dufgiud, a white man. was continued until the next term of court according to reports reaching here.
 Martin had been held at Hopkins vile, Ky, for safe keeping and was taken to Murray last night. Because of fear of mob violence he was held in the courthouse all night guarded by a large force of deputy sheriffs.
 This morning when his case was called for trial counsel who had been appointed to defend him asked for 6 continuance because of the discovery of new evidence which there had been no opportunity to develop. This was granted and the negro started back to Hopkinsville, his departure being kept secret for time.
 When persons in the court room learned of the continuance granted Martin and of his removal, according to the reports reaching here, a large crowd immediately surrounded the judge and commonwealth's attorney, threatening to lynch both unless the negro was brought back for trial inn mediately. Attorneys on both sides are said to have agreed, in the face of the situation which threatened to have the negro brought back here in the morning and placed on trial

WANTS TO BE
 VETERAN OF LEAGUE
Evers Wants to Play Ball Lono Enough to Be Oldest Player in Point of Service.

Recently in New York city Johnny Evers declared it to be his ambition to play ball long enough to be the oldest player in point of services in the league. Now that Matty has be- come a bench manager" said Evers the only player who has been in the league longer than I have is Honus Wagner, and even Honus cannot go on forever. One by one I have seen all the men, except Wagner who were in the league when I broke in. pass from active service.
 When I first went to the Cubs [ weighed 105 pounds. Some of the base ball writers called me a consumptive and intimated that it was a shame that I should be allowed to play They looked for me to last one or two wears at most. We'll. Pm still here and I'm pretty tough yet. When I was playing the best ball that I ever played I never weighed over 1S5 pounds.
 "I started playing with the Cubs back in 1902. We had been in Pitts burgh and jumped back to Chicago to play Sunday game. We lost our first baseman and Sallee took Chance from behind the bat and put him on first, much against Franks wishes Then our catcher was hurt and Chance was sent back behfng the bat Bobby Lowe was moved to first as I was the only utility infielder available they put me on second.
 Philillir,, was pitching against us that day and made three hits off him and drove in couple of runs. but thta was because I was new and he didn't know how to pitch to me- What attracted attention to me was that with Wagner on first man hit ball down toward second base. I had to come in for it, and as Wagner went behind me saw that had no chance to get him. The man going to first also, was a fast runner. as most Pitts burgh players were in those days so I bluffed to throw to first and took a chance that Wagner would try for third. He did and got him 10 feet off that bag.

No Action on Representative Woods
 Resolution for an Investigation

Washington, Jan. 10.-After a two hours executive session late today the house rules committee adjourned until tomorrow without taking final action on Representative Woods resolution for an investigation of rumors of Teak in advance of President Will sons peace note.
 Although most of the democratic members favor abandoning the whole proceeding with an adverse report on the resolution, a sub committee was appointed to draft contempt charges against Thomas ". Lawson for use in case the committee decides to report the Boston financier for refusing to give names in connection with rumors he repeated.
 Hearings were temporarily suspended today after several witnesses had been hard, including R. w. Boiling. broth= er-in-law of President Wilson and member of a local stock brokerage firm, who testified that he heard of the peace note for the first time through the newspa pers.
 The present intention of the com mitteemen is to hear further tes- timony, at least until the question of broadening the investigation is dis posed of and a decision has been reached as to whether MT. Lawson shall be reported to the house for con- tempt.
