London Ideas: There are two methods
of distilling spirits, namely. the pot

still is the older. But the patent.stil..
Invented by Coffey. has the recommen-
dation of producing pure spirit in one
complete operation.

takes a long time to make and is not
drinkable for at least five years In
fact is poisonous. This is due to the
preponderance of such noxious elements
as fusel oil and aldehydes which II holds
in the solution. Yet IT Is these poisons
which give whiskey its characteristic
flavor. But when the whiskey has been
matured for several years they are
greatly modified and practically harm
less
Alcohol may be manufactured i.om
anything which contains starch or su.
gar. Such materials as molasses. rotten
potatoes, timber and certain vegetables
have been used. Patent spirit is princi-
pally made from maize. raw grain and
a small proportion OF malt. The best
pot-still whiskey is made from malt. raw
oats. barley and rye.
In the highlands of Scotland and on
the isolated islands of the western sea
board the Illicit distillation Of spirits is
not by any means a lost art The dis
tillers are, as a rule, "gillies" thrown
out OF employment at the end of the
shooting season; and distressed gentle
men farmers have been known to re-
trieve their fallen fortunes by erecting
a still in some outlandish part of their
farms.
In Ireland numerous districts of Con-
nemara and the wilder parts of Ulster
and Munster are devoted 10 the making
OF ''potheen." The ''distillers" are very
rarely caught notwithstanding the vigi-
lance OF the police and the revenue OFF,
cials.
But such Illicit whiskey is of very
poor quality. II is principally made from
molasses as the distillers have not the
time to go through the elaborate process
Of mailing and mashing. The great diff

HICKEY Will fight
Third Big LEAGUE
Big Scrap Is Awaiting Minor League
Mosuls at Louisville Next Week.

New York, Nov. S.-All will not be
harmonious in the ranks of baseball
when the minor leagues get. together
in Louisville next week. The forma-
ton of the third league, to be named
the Union, has caused a wave of dis
contentment to sweep through the
contemplated program. Club owners
who will not be included in the third
major league are sowing the seeds OF
discord.
The Kansas City, st. Paul, Milwau-
kee and Minneapolis clubs, of the
American Association, are the ones
who will be left out in the cold.
The National Commission has been
appealed to to prevent the dissolution
of the two leagues into a third major.
T. j. Hickey, president of the Amer
lean Association, is practically the
first against the plan. Hickey's fight
came after the report was sent out
! that Ed Barrow, president of the In
ternational League, was to be chosen
the head of the new league. Hickey
had visions OF being the leader of the
new circuit.
Hickey's argument is that the To-
ledo, Columbus, Louisville and In
dianapolis clubs in his circuit cannot
withdraw from the league without
unanimous consent of the club own
ers. He contends that II these clubs
are permitted to Join the Union
League the structure of organized
! baseball will crumble.
Whether the National Commission
will interfere or not is problematical
| The heads of the two majors are in
clined to favor a new league. They
| figure 1t will be a good thing for the
game, will keep up interest in the
sport during the war. and also will
prove a financial success.
But the commission will undoubt-
edly adopt a hands Off" policy in
settling the dispute. They will not
interfere, according to all reports,
because of technicalities. The COM
missions Jurisdiction Is confined tc
disputes between major and minor
/ leagues. The third league has no,
yet been formed. 1t is not yet q
major circuit. Thus the commission
will be in its rights in refusing tc
heed Hickey's plea.

TURNER IS READY
FOR TONIGHT'S BOUT

Joe Turner takes on one of the
toughest grapplers in the mat game
tonight when he goes against Jack
Ross, the Greek champion, in a best
two-in-three-falls to a finish at the
Lyceum Theater
Ross has the reputation of being
able TO rough it and comes to Wash
ington for his initial showing with
a record of thirty-six straight vic
tories.
At the catch-as-catch-can style he
cherishes an ambition to fight his way
to the top and his record will have
an important win IL he can pin the
shoulders of the American middle
weight champion to the mat twice
in an evening.
Turner is at the top of his game
at present He is as hard as nails
and has been training daily for to-
nights match. If Ross attempts to
make it interesting by rough tactics
he will find in Turner an opponent
who will not yield him an inch.
P. F. O'Connor. the well-known
sporting expert. will act as the third
man for this bout. The match is in
cidental to the regular burlesque per-
formance at the Lyceum Theater and
time will be called Immediately after
the final curtain.

PLANS OF CARDINALS
Jack Miller Likely to Succeed Hug
gins IF He Is Not Drafted.

1t may be that the local draft
board Of Kearny. N. j., will give
the answer to the long-prolonged
mstery of who is to be the next
manager Of the st. Louis Cardinals
to succeed Miller Higgins, who has
been appointed leader of the Yam
KEGS.
That is the home of Jack Miller,
Cardinal inielder. and, according to
reports from st. Louis. now the lead
ing candidate for the job of guiding
the Cards.
Branch Hickey. president of the
Cardinals. announced a few days ago
that he had practically settled on the
man to take hold of the Cardinals.
but could not announce his name
for reasons which he could not d.
vulge.
1t appears that Miller was eligible
for the draft, and while not called
yet is in danger of being called any
time. Until such time as he could
be certain he would be exempted he
could not very well be appointed to
manage the Cardinals, as a call to
the colors would upset all the plans.
Accordingly, Miller is endeavorins
to get exemption. He is married,
and will claim exemption on the
ground of having dependents. Hickey
is said to be waiting to hear about
the exemption claim before doing fur
ther business with Miller.
1.-The more / talk with Miller the
better I like him and the more IA
vorably impressed 1 become" said
Hickey. He has been here to see
me several times and we have talked
about the management of the club.
He has an acute. ready mind. and
I believe he would be a successful
manager If we decide to appoint him.
But I cannot say anything definite
about 1t at this time
However. Hickey has disposed OF
the idea that Ira Thomas will lead
the club. He says that Thomas is
not getting any consideration what
ever.
By the same process of elimina-
| ton most of the other candidates
excepting Miller have been disposed
of. Johnny Evers, Joe Tinker, jim

agement of the club. However, as
an economic measure he might take
! the job, he said. But he has given
out the impression he does not wish
| to handle the club as manager.
Miller has been playing ball in the
! big leagues since 1863, when he went
to Pittsburgh. He has been with the
| Cardinals four seasons as an infielder

BASEBALL FAILS TO
THRILL old ENGLAND
Tommy Atkins Admits There Is Like

England is making a strenuous

things American these days, and is
making quite a success of every
thing except baseball. At baseball
England balks. although it processes
to a schoolboy game known to the
English as FOUNDERS"
A writer in the Manchester Guard
ian, after having witnessed a game
of baseball by Canadian soldiers.
marvels most at the elaborate pro-
tective armor of the player and de-
scribes the catcher as "the man who
stands behind the batsman and stops
the missed balls" Detailing the
protective armor'' of the catcher,
the writer says:
His head is encased In a cage of
metal and leather and a thickly pad
ded covering protects his body from
the neck down"
Here is the Manchester Guardians
description of the game:
"A baseball match was played by
Canadian soldiers on Fairfield COM
mon. Buxton. on Saturday afternoon.
upOh lhc ODStENtT
curiously blurred impression of
something at once familiar and for
eign. We have all played a form of
baseball in our school days for base
ball is the old game of FOUNDERS
much elaborated. and in spite of the
strange guise in which it revisits us
from across the Atlantic, one gives
affectionate recognition to 1t as an
old friend. But the enthusiasm of
reunion suffers a speedy check, and
is succeeded by feelings of reserve
and shyness.
There are puzzling changes both
In the form and manner Of the game.
There is a fierce swiftness and force
in the play which the school game
did not possess. The rules ara, diff
ferent. Surprising effects follow a
catch-out or a complete run around:
and what was there in the school
game to correspond with the equip
ment of the players?
Most striking is the elaborate
protective armor of the player who,
for want of knowledge of the terms
of the game, we will call the wicket
keeper-though there are. of course.
no wickets-the player who stands
behind the batsman and stops the
missed balls. His head is encased
in a cage OF metal and leather, a
thickly padded covering protects his
body from the neck downward. his
shins are guarded. and he wears on
one hand, in common with the men
who are fielding. great padded
glove to act as a buffer to the ball
when it's swift flight is suddenly
stopped.
1T is said that a baseball match.
for the uninitiated. at any rate, is a
thing rather to be heard than to be
seen. 1t requires not merely skilled
players, but a body of spectators
properly trained in the art of shout
ing encouragement, advice, warning
and stimulating invective.
