FAIL AND PITCHERS ARE GOOD
BY Mark Shields
If the White Sox were failing to
hit in a game every now and then we
might lay the paucity of taIlies on
the South Side to impervious pitch
ing by the opposition. And there is
no doubt but what the Cleveland and
Detroit hurleTs have performed capa-
bly, in the last six games out on 35th
street.
But the unanimity with which the
locals have -subsided with their bats,
and the length of time such subsi-
dence has lasted, leaves no other
conclusion than that the Hose are in
the thrOes of a batting slump, dis
nal failure which has tUmbled them
from a commanding lead to second
place.
Take the cases of Joe jackson, Ed
Collins and Happy FelsCh. There is
trio of natural 300 hitters, fellows
who should clout the ball with great
vigor and consistency. But in the
past six games their efforts have
been practically null and void. Jack
son pOled a couple yesterday, and
Felsch knocked three in one Cleve-
land game. Ed Collins, in another
Indian. tussle, hung up two infield
safeties. But the remainder of the
time, while the clouting three have
MT -, n 1,iF y,ovry oDI than tbovy bovo
usually been soft, especially when
any pals were on base.
This slump, of course, is something
that will be discarded in a short time.
Collins and the two OUtfielders are
ballpIayers of the highest class, fell Z
lows who have nerve and courage
and who are not dismayed by a
slump. They know it is a part of
baseball.

Will Not Meet Smith in Southern State Says Governor, Not for
 Public Good.

Les Darcy, Austrian middle weight champion, has been barred from another state. Following Gov ernor Whitman's action in barring Darcy from New York State. the patriotic bodies of Ohio refused the fighter permission to appear in that state, and now Governor Plea satn of Louisiana advised the New Orleans promoters to cancel the DarcySmith bout scheduled for April 23, pointing out that the can cellation of the match is flor the public good, and that Darcy should follow the noble example of Geor- ges Carpenter, now fighting on the French front, before seeking |athletic engagements in Louisiana" ," Darcy expected no further trou- ble in arranging matches as he is seeking American citizenship, but in view of the entry of the United States into the war it is doubt ful whether he will be permitted to appear in an athletic event in any state ill the union.

For the first time in years the handicappers of the Metropolitan
 Golf Association have found a player qualified to fill the position
 on the annual rating list at one
 stroke. He is Oswald Kirkby, of
 Englewood, holder of the champion ship titles of both the Metropolitan

 He is the first in a number of years

 Ever since the outbreak of the war a number of estimable citi- zens-most of them we'll past the age for sustained physical activity have been complaining with more or less yehemence that sport

Kilbane Likes Arthur Simons.

Arthur Simons, New Orleans bantam fighter, has been selected by Johnny Kilbane, the feather champ, as the best bet among the bantams. 'I have seen Coulon when he was at his best.' says Kilbane, "and l fought Kid Will jams whep he was at the top or his stride, but neither of them looked so good to me as this Simons boy. He has speed, real punching power and every sort of cleverness
 Simons, till recently, had not fought much in the north and
 his recent appearance in Cleveland was one of the first chances North ern fight fans have had to look him over. He made so favorable an impression that Matt Hinkle, Cleveland promoter, immediately
 engaged him for his next show
 Simons fought Alvie Miller, fast featherweight, and though he gave
 away six or eight pounds he held his man to a draw in one of the
 speediest and hardest fought bat. ties Cleveland fight fans have seen Simons is unusually light even
 for the bantams and seldom weighs 1 in over 113 or IA pounds. IT fighting Pal Moore, Ertle. Herman or other leading bantams he ii
 always at a disadvantage in weigh and yet he has met and licked
 more than several of the best o

them. While most of the best per- formers in the bantam class are worrying about getting down to 116 pounds Simons is worrying about getting up to it. And even though he isn't able to put on few more pounds he is eready and eager to have chance with Ertle, Herman or Williams.

Barney Bernard appeared at the Or phepm last night in one of the best Nitagraph plays that has been seen on the channel for months. It is a play that everybody should see, they will like it, for it gives a new side to the Jewish pawnbrolser, a side that will ap- peal to all. -s The plot is actually a new one and it bubbles over with that quiet, good humor and shows just how far the out-stretched hand to assist, does really reach. Every one in the company is good and the scenes are splendid.
 The Bernardo Players made their in- itial appearance last night in little rural sketch entitled "A Bit of Coun = try Life" and they pleased thorough y at both performances. Interwoven in the little country domestic story is violin playing and a pretty little song. The Players took instantly and should prove a good drawing card

Living over again that tragedy of
Labor Day when their thirteen year
old son. Harry Aaron. the newsboy.
was killed by a Maxwell motor bus.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jacob Aaron sobbed pitt
fully as they testified in Judge Lyman's
court yesterday in the suit for damages
which they brought against Mathew
NJ. Maxwell. Once the mothers grief
was such that the friend who sat by
her side throughout the day was COM
PEELED to take her from the court room.
She was gone but a short time when
she returned to take her place by her
husbands side. The tears fell as she
heard the witnesses testify how the
big bus ran into and killed the boy.
The defendant was not present in
the court room, neither was he repre-
scented by an attorney He filed his
answer in the case making a general
denial He was notified of the time set
for trial and his non appearance, ac-
cording to e. +. Marks, attorney for
the plaintiff was because the had no
valid defense"
The jury returned a verdict of judg-
ment for the plaintiff in the sum of
$4,000. The amount for which the
plaintiffs sued was $4,000.
On Labor Day Harry Aaron was re-
turning from riverside on his bicycle

accident could have been avoided if
he had turned off or used the brakes.

WOULD EXEMPT COFFIN MAKERS
Burials Have Been Delayed IN Britain
On Account of a SHORTAGE

An inquiry has been conducted by
the Eermoudsey borough council into
the delay in carrying out burials ow-
ing to the shortage of undertakers
and grave diggeTs AS regards the
remedies the report says:
Grave digging and coffin making
might he included among badged
trades, and the members exempted.
In coffin making the difficulty might
also be overcome if the government
ordered that the elaborate polished
oak and elm spffirs were to be re-
placed by deal ones covered with
cloth. This order would have to be
done by some central authority, az
the desire for elaborate and costly
funerals is very much ingrained, es-
pecially among the working classes
