Giant Player Not Fighting

Heinie Zimmerman, The Great Zim," is trying to keep out of trou- ble this season. and to date he has succeeded admirably we'll It was not until the National Leaguers had swung into the month of June that Zim got into 'an altercation that resulted in his being canned from the playing field, and then his protests were mild to what they used to be in the days of his cub hood, when he seldom missed week beating the rest of the team to the showers.
 Zim is naturally a quick temper ed player and hard loser. He fights for everything that he can get in a ball game. and the worst thing in the world in his eyes, is to be called out on what he thinks is a bad strike. But McCraw has tanned Zim to a noticeable degree. and he is watching his step this season.
 While Zim has laid off the um- pires he has lost nothing of his old love for repartee. and any time a player on an opposing team tries to pass him the buck he has a quick comeback. In one series be- tween the Giants and Boston John ny Evers tried his hand at it and got a tart answer.
 Hey. Zim." yelled Evers. have you got all your fines paid yet?'
 And Zim blurted out:
 ''Is that you lawn? It's a sur prise. Haven't you gone crazy yet? I thought they had copped you be- fore now"

GREAT CHANGES
 MAY SOON COME

LONDON. July 23-The Ger man empire is on the eve of some form of Characterization From the best information it appears that Matthias Erzeber- ger, leader of the Catholic Centre Party. started the inove at the instigation of Chan cellor von Bethmann- Hollweg, and for these reasons:
 First-The pressure of Elm peror Charles for peace.
 Second-The awakening of the German people to the fact that they could not win a mil itary decision.
 Third The realization of the German rulers that the Allies would not make peace on any satisfactory terms to Germany until the country was democratized.
 Fourth-The desire to have the German people believe that the impetus for change came from within and not at the demand of the enemy.

 His only hope lies in a number of accidents befalling the Detroit Outfielders, which would bring him back into the lineup daily for a longer or shorter time, but Sam is too good a sportsman to hope for anything of the sort.

National Leaoue
New Montana League Looks
 Like Flivver

League baseball in the North west, as far as the present season is concerned, has become history. The deathknell was sounded last Tuesday when the Billings team, formerly the Tacoma Tigers of the Northwestern League, which was scheduled to play with the Spokane aggregation, continued it's train journey to Tacoma, where it will disband.
 The reason for the calling off of the scheduled game at Spokane was given through a telegram from President Davey of the Butte club to the effect that Billings promot- CTS had failed to give the promised support to the Tacoma team. Spo- kane will disband immediately and organized baseball will be given a long rest.
 Present indications are that Butte and Great Falls will continue to play out their post season series.

Crawford Wants More Safe Hits

Sam Crawford, now in his nine teenth season in the big leagues, and with the exception Of Hans Wagner, the oldest player in the big show, is grieving as the days go by. His grief is not due to the fact that he is literally and figur- atively on his last legs, and is also on the bench for Detroit, but be- cause he sees his ambition to make 5000 hits in fast company slipping beyond his attainment.
 : Sam says that many years ago 5000 hits became an obession with him. and he has counted his totals from year to year. He yearns to be in the class with Hans Wagner, Larry Lajoie and Capt. Adrian C. Ansonfi, the only men who have ob- tained that mark, but it doubtful whether Sam will arrive.
 When the 1915 season ended Sam had 131 hits to go to reach 3,O00. Old Man Time got busy with Sam in 1916 and the 131 hits which he would have thought bad year in the period when he was averaging teriaiize. He played in an even 100 more than 1S3 per year did not ma games and made nine-tw0 hits. Manager Hughey Jennings had to find and break in a faster and younger man for Sam's job in the outfield and the veteran was the victim of circumstances. i.
 This year Sam will have to make thirty-nine hits to reach grand total of 5000 in his career in the majors, and unless something un- seen occurs he will not succeed. He is doing nothing but pinch hit ting and will be extremely lucky

BRITISH TANKS FREAKY,
BUT GREAT WAR MACHINES

British Army Headquarters In
FEance. Thursday, Nov. 22.-(By the
Associated Press. .)-The impression
which existed In the minds of many
soldiers that the British tanks were
freaks Of little value as instruments
OF war u being wiped out on account
OF the achievements of the great
army Of these mighty engines which
on tuesday morning broke through
The main Hindenburg line and car
rfed the war miles into the enemy
territory. The work which the tanks
did that day and have been doing
since y one Of the most st. liking fea-
lures OF the war. 1t cannot be said
that they are alone responsible for
the tremendous victory won by the
british, for infantry, artillery and
cavalry all have played their part.
Nevertheless, the tanks drove the en-
tering wedge. without whicn this tri-
possible.
;, In few hours they tore to shreds
lines Of barbed wire, the demolition
OF which bya concentration of artiI.
!ery would have required many DAYS.

Peculiar Defense Made in
Federal Court in Progress
of Damage Suit. !,
MURDERED AND
PLACED ON TRACK.
Suit Is One of Most Unusual
on Docket for This
Term Court. g.

Setting up as its defense that AL
len Whitton, who was found dead on
the tracks of the L. & N. railroad al
Ponce deLeon on December 3, 1915.
was murdered and place ION tho
tracks and not killed by the train,
the defendant in the case of whitton
v. The L. & N. brought many wit
nesses from Bay County to testify
when the case went to trial In the
federal court here yesterday.
In many ways the suit is one OF
the most unusual on the docket Of
the court for, this term, and there
was considerable difficulty in obtain
ing jury to sit in the case. After
some had time had been consumed
the case went to trial and witnesses
for the plaintiff and defense followed
on the stand in rapid Succession un-
til late yesterday afternoon.
All of the evidence was finally
brought before the court and arct.n
ment postponed because John i
Carter, counsel for the plaintiff W.
called from the city.
More than forty witnesses
examined in The case, but y
tiff seeking to prove tnat VIII
met his death through the careis
ness and negligence of the defena5
ant corporation. They sought to
prove that the operators of the train
hmad not exercised caution on the
night of the accident, and that az
a direct result whitton had been
killed.
The defendant examined many wit
nesses, their evidence tending to
prove the contention that the mas
was murdered, and that the perpetra-
tors of the crime had placed his dead
body on the tracks OF the COM
pany. so that when the train ran
oyer it, the traces of their crime be
remove.
Keen interest centers on the out
come of the case, and the trial was
followed throughout the day by many
attractive spectators.

YOUNG AVIATOR PLUNGES TO
HIS DEATH IN THE HARBOR

(Rsiease for publication OF following
through The Journals speciai eorrespon
sPlunging two hundred feet into
Pensacola bay, Herman Bose, OF New
York, stationed at the aeronautic- STD
ton fell to his death yesterday after
noon at four o'clock, smashing the
airplane to splinters and drowning
tefore the speed boats could reach
him. F.
Only q short while before. another
plane fell four thousand feet and
both occupants escaped unsncratched.
There were few details to the
accident, which proved fatal where
many others similar in every respect
have been harmless. Contrasted with
the accident before it, it was hard v
thought that the young man who was
making his last FIGHT before quail
flying as a licensed pilot could have
been killed by SO slivht a fall, while
those in the spectacular dive before
1t were uninjared.
When the accident occurred the
plane was fiying low in long spiral
below Fort Pickens. and Just within
the bay over Santa Rosa Island. The
young pilot was doing the 1000 foot
glide required of pilots before they
are licensed.
He had just successfully neeot;at-
ed the 6G00 foot spiral, ard BROUGHT
the plane to landing within $50 feet
Of the mark as required in the test.
After the first test he asce-d-d for
the second long glide, and 8 900 fe~t
cut off the motor, ard swung into
the wide curves slightly soaring to-

ward the sreck anchored nearly a
half mile beneathe him.
Around and around the plane
sailed, the circles increasing in cir
cumference as the surface Of the
water appeared to raise to meet him.
AS he aprroa ched his mark, howev-
er. he had apparently misjudred the
distance, and was about to land too
far away from the anchored boat.
In an effort TO bring the plane back
to the proper direction, the pilot ap-
parently jerked it up short in the
great curve, and as he banked for the
sharp turn, fell into side slip, when
a puff of wind caught the turning
plane underneath ard threw the ma
chine head long into Pensacola bay.
Some minutes Elapsed before the
spaed boats and other airplanes could
reach the scene Of the wrecked
plane which had fallen in the shallow
ater near Santa Rosa beach. When
the rescuin~ party reached the wreck
Bose was found pinned beneath It.,
under water, evidently drowned, in
stead Of kille by the fall.
While it was much less fatal, the
accident which preceded the Bose fall
was much more spectacular, starting
as it did at 5000 feet, the airplane
floating down like a withsred leaf

R. F. 0'SHIELDS
PROVEN GUILTY
DIAMOND THEFT
WHITE MAN WHO WAS CHARGED
WITH A SERIOUS OFFENSE is
FOUND GUILTY IN COURT OF
RECORD.

r. F. O'Shields, white. was convict
ed in the court of record yesterday
afternoon Oh a charge Of grand lar
ceny, and will probably be arraigned
tais morning for sentence. His OF
fense consists in his having stolen a
diamond ring from Mr.. Severance.
recently from Nashville, who, look
ing about for business investment,
formed the acquaintance Of O'SIields
h. as in business on Garden street.
Donning working clothes, Mr.. Sew
erance missed a diamond of no incon-
siderable value, one day, and thought
the stone had been lost from its, set
ting. A few days: afterwards, how
ever, O'Shields was known to have
offered the stone to a Palafox street
jeweler, and later another party Of
fered the same, stone. Mr.. Severance
knew his property very. we'll, but to
malseSsure of his claim, he produced
magnifying glass and this was useo
during the progress of the case, and
used by the jurymen.
City police first effected his arrest,
and from the recorders court he was
bound over to the county authorities.
His case came to a close with yester-
days proceedings, although an attor-
eSteu IN MS OSh2l1 stated CnaC the
case would be appealed to a higher
court.
Constable Steve Jones, who took
charoe of O'Shields when the CITY. au-
thorities bound him over, couple
of lays ago, received a tip that. an
indictment charging O,Shields with
the theft of an Overland car, belong
ing to Mr.. Hull in Atlanta, had been
returned against him in the Fulton
county courts, and the constable at
once took him in charge, placing him
in the county, Jail on warrant charg-
ing him with being a fugitive from
justice. Up to that time he was en-
ioyino his liberty, having been sue
cessful in making bond, but when it
became known that he was wanted in
Atlanta, he was locked up, as stated.
A few days since, Special Officers
Bobe and Rerrington received COM
plaint that O'Shields had taken an
auto tire, valued at not less than
SO, and had appropriated it to his
own use, and had he have been ac-
quilted yesterday, this charge would
have been placed against him. These
officers were the ones who worked
up the case against him, and which
his arrest in the original city
case which was made against him.
