The toughest citizen in the Ameri-

out, was Joe Jackson. In 139 games
jackson struck out only ten times,
while the dreful Cobb famed twenty
two times and Sisler whitfield twenty

times, exactly twice as often as he

members of the San Francisco club of
the Pacific Coast League, Second Base

Jim Bagby Of Indians
Keeps a tsDope" Book

Every big league pitcher keeps
tabs on the strength and weak
ness of the opposing batters.
However. Jim Bngby, the right
handler of the Cleveland Indians.
has n bookkeeping system that
is unique, and needless to say he
has found 1t valuable in his
career as n pitcher.
Some yearx ago, when Bagby
was setting the Southern AssO-
citation on fire. he fell on the
idea of keeping track of indi-
vidlIal batterS and also the diff
fcrent teams as a whole. He
watches each batter he faces,
adding such notes regarding the
battcr's style as he deemed use
full for future reference and
guidance.
After each game Bagby would
record the success or failure of
this or did it with the aid of IA
pocket memorandum. Jim was
SO successful that season that
he has continued the practice.

GEORGE GIVES VIEWS OF LONDON HOUSE Protests Intervention In
 Russia. NO RECOGNITION
 or BOLsHEVISM Stands For The FmIiilment Oi The Election Promises As
 Proposed.
By The Associated Press.

London, April 16.-No intervention in Russia; no recognition of bolshe- vism and the fulfillment of his elect ion promises, including those relat- ing to indemnity from the enemy powers and punishment of the former German emperor, were the outstand- ing features of the report which Premier Lloyd George brought from Paris and delivered to the house of commons today. Every member was in his seat and the galleries were packed with distinguished visitors, among them the Prince of Wales and the American ambassador, John w. Davis, when the premier entered the chamber, with the cheers of the great crowds outside the parliament grounds still ringing in his ears. He appear ed fresh and in buoyant spirits paus- ing at times to make humorous sal lies with various members.
 In the main, though, the mood of the premier was serious in conform ity with the weighty subjects discus sed and the audience listened with profound attention to his lengthy speech, which lasted for almost an hour and half.
 Express Sentiment.
 The laborites vigorously applauded the premier's announcement of non-in- tervention in Russia, and non-recog- milton of bolshevism, but remained silent while the conservatives cheer ed the statement that the allies would continue to aid friendly ele- ments which were fighting bolshe- visnn.
 At the conclusion of the premier's speech, when members and those in the galleries were pouring out in quest of belated luncheons, William Adamson leader of the labor opposi- tion in the house, rose and character ized the speech of the prime minister as eloquent, but not entirely satisfac- tory.
 MT. Adamson's comment summed up the opinion of others among his auditors and numerous elements among the public, whom the news papers, for the last few days had prepared for Illuminating revelations in the speech concerning the peace terms formulated.

BURNS PROVE FATAL TO TWO
 LOCAL WOMEN Wife and Mother Of George
 Smith Die. DAUGHTER TRIED
 TO SAVE MOTHER Women Were Alone At The Time Of Tragedy And Details Are
 Lacking.

Mrs. Mary Smith. aged S1 years, was burned to death at her home, 1904 , West Seventh avenue yesterday morn- ing about II o'clock and heS daugh- ter-in-law. Mrs. George Smith, re- ceived burns at the same time from which she died at , o'clock yester- day afternoon.
 There was no one at home at the time of the fire and it is not known exactly how it originated. Neighbors heard the two women screaming fran ance found Mrs. Mary Smith lying un- conscious in the back yard of her home. Her clothing was almost burn ed from her body and she had evil dently run from the rear of the house in an effort to eXtinguish the flames.
 There was can of shoe polish on the wood stove in the kitchen and a pair of house slippers on table near by and it is thought that the older woman was endeavoring to mix the polish when her clothing became ignited. Mrs. George Smith evidently attempted to eXtinguish the older woman's clothing and received the burns from which she died later. She also was unconscious when neigh bors arrived, and was horribly burn ed about the hands and face.
 The women's screams attracted neighbors and passers-by who turned in fire alarm thinking the house was on fire. When the firemen ar rived there was nothing for them to do however, as the house Was in no way endangered.
 Neighbors carried the, two women into the home and medical aid twas summoned immediately Ms. Mary Smith was dead when the physicians arrived and Mrs. George Smith was unconscious and was so severely burned that they held out little hope for her recovery.
 Mrs. Mary Smith was the mother and Mrs. George Smith the wife of George Smith, we'll known local cab inet maker. The family has resided in Pine Bluff for many years, where MT Smith has been in the employ of Jeff Hicks.
 Funeral arrangements have not been completed last night but but it is thought that the bodies of both women will be taken to Kentucky for burial.

AMERICAN SUFF
 IS DEP0RTED
 FROM ENCL. AND
Lillian Scott Troy Is Sent
 Home.
HAS BEEN ACTIVE.
 FOR HOME RULE
Order Is Based On An Accumulation Uf Acts In United
 Kingdom.

London, April 1e-The deportation from the United Kingdom of Miss Lillian Scott Troy, of San Francisco, an American suffragette is announ- ced Miss Troy was a friend of Baron Lewis Von Horst, formerly of San Francisco, who was interned by the British government in August 1914. Miss Troy, it is said, worked indefat- lgably to obtain the release of Baron Won Horst.
 She is the only American of any prominence in England to suffer de portation and the case is exciting considerable interest. It is said that before the war, Miss Troy and Baron Won Horst worked for woman suf- frage and assisted in flooding Amer ican newspaper offices here with propaganda on behalf of home rule of Ireland, coupling it, it is charged, with the suggestion that Ireland and Germany should work together.
 Friend of Ann Martin.
 Miss Troy was q member of the Woman's Lyceum Club and close friend of Ann Martin, of Nevada, a prominent American suffragist, who was arrested in London in 1910 for assaulting a policeman.
 Miss Troy also managed a moving picture theatre at Croydon, and rented the theatre out for meetings of the police union. From the stage of that theatre. recently, prominent woanan socialist speaker made speech favorable to the bolsheviki, for which she was imprisoned.
 It is understood that influential American friends advised her two years ago to return home, as it seem- ed certain that her case was then under consideration by the British government.
 Accused of Many Acts.
 The order of deportation was bas- ed, not on any one alleged action, but on an accumulation of acts. In this connection, her outspoken ideas on the Irish situation, her pronounced views on the rights of labor and her frequent clashes with the govern ment over the settlement of Von Hodst's business after his intern ment, are recalled. It is asserted that Miss Troy not only worked constant ly for Won Horst's release on. the claim that he was an American citi- zen. but made every effort to further his interests in the liquidation by the government of his varied under takings. She also assisted in the management of the baron's compan- ies.
 No reasons were given Miss Troy, it is said when detectives called on her few days ago and asked her to accompany them to Liverpool. On ar irving at Liverpool, she was placed immediately on a liner bound for the United States. The steamer should arrive on the other side in few days.
 The Croydon branch of the associa- ted society of engineers has adopted resolution calling for a one day strike of allied workers in that dis trict as protest against Miss Troy's deportation.
