Corbett's Daily Letter
 On Great Sport Topics
By JAMES J. coRBErr

Steve Evans has passed from major league view-but Steve won't be forgot ten for long, long time. Never a truly great" as an outfielder. he made his mark In basebalrs Hall of Fame by pulling some of the funniest stunts on and off the ball field that ever were at tempted by an athlete.
 Evans, while with the Cardinals, was constant source of merriment for the speculators-and constant work for ms teammates who always were in fear or his trickeries.
 steve went along with the world tour .''s III lslS-lsl4, and his associates came pacR telling many stories of Steye.s pleyfui escapades in nearly every nation on the globe. Steve jumped to inc Fad eraI league after the globe trott,no st,,nt out never lost his interest in the Ma !. eiohai league doings. And during mid season Of 1915 he came forth with wha, he termed was the "trua ax,,..ta.,. Tor the 1915 rowing between John Me- Graw and Umpire Bill Klen.

 And that's no more than I would do if was in Bills place." declared Evans Why?" was the question
 well, on that trip around the world Bill played poker with the boys and be- fore the trip was half over he had about all the loose change in the party. In lat CT games the boys gave bill their I. O. U.'s-and McGraw was among them. As far as I've been able to figure out, John hasn't redeemed all those slips yet, and that's made Bill sore. Why shouldn't t he get even?'
 One of Evans prize jokes was played on Dick Carroll, who was business man ager of the Brooklyn Feds Evans was with that team, too, and when the 1915 season closed, Carroll invited Evans to

| go back to Cleveland with him in his au- | tomobile. Evans and Carroll both lived in Cleveland-and Evans accepted the l invitation.
 The day after Carroll and Evans got l back to the Ohio city, Evans called up
 the police department. T am Dick Carroll, business manager
 Of the Brooklyn Federal league bail
 club" reported Evans. My auto has been stolen. It has a New York H- cense."
 And then Evans gave the number of Carrolls car, the make and a lot of details
 Two days later, Carroll, chugging along across the viaduct in Gle leland, was halted by a>policeman who took few squints at the number of the car, ascer- tained it's make, and then said Come along to the station with me"
 "What for?" asked the amazed Car roll
 You're driving a stolen car" answered the policeman.
 Carroll protested that the car was his !, own But he protested in vain. The "cop' insisted that he had orders to com
 nandeer that very car-and he was go- ing to follow orders. So Carroll drove to the police station. "A MT Richard Carroll of Brooklyn, N Y, has reported the theft of his car
 and that's the one you were driving, the desk sergeant informed Carroll. Why, I am Dick Carroll" exclaimed Carroll. Here, I'll prove it." and Car | roll proceeded to pull from his pocket
 a wallet that contained cards. identi- cation slips and similar papers.
 But that doesn't prove you are Mir. Carroll" the sergeant told him. Why not?" demanded Carroll. Because MT. Carroll reported that at the time his car was stolen his coat, which contained his wallet, also was in the car" said the police officer. So Carroll was booked and placed in the cooler remaining there for several
 hours until friends came in answer to
 his frantic IS S' signals, and properly identified him as the real and only owner of the car he was charged with stealing

Fuel May Be Cause Of Cancer.

a Scotch physician has just com.
pleted an extensive series Of researches
into the incidence Of cancer which lead
him to some novel conclusions. He
finds that in Scotland and the Scotch
islands the percentage Of cancer is par
ticularly high in coal-burning districts
and low in peat-burning districts.
There are some exceptions to this rule
and In every such case he finds that
the peat burning district with high
death rate from cancer burns peat
with high percentage Of sulphur.
Thus he concludes that Goals and peats
with high sulphur content used as q
fuel have a direct connection with the
development Of cancer.

GERMANS IN CONTROL
Had Many Wireless Stations in
Mexico During War.
Official Of Marconi Company Appears
Before House Merchant Ma
rine Committee.

Washington, Dec. 19.-Edward Nally,
vice-president of the Marconi Wireless
company of America, told the House
merchant marine committee, while tes-
tifying in opposition to the bill pro-
posing government monopoly of radio
stations in the United States, that
more than % wireless stations in Mex
leo were under German control during
the war.
'The Germans were in full control
of the wireless stations in Mexico"
said Mr.. Nally, telling of an investiga-
ton made last year of the Mexican
wireless situation by an agent of his
company.
Although the Mexican government
claims title to all the wireless sta
tions," he said, "the apparatus is strict
ly German and there have been Ger
man operators in every one of the
twenty-odd stations. Moreover, there
has sprung up government electrical
shops with German superintendents
and the whole system has been super
vised by German radio experts who
were formerly employed at Sayville
and Tuckerton and on the German
liners which were interned in this
country at the beginning of the war"
