WORLD SERIES PRESIDENTS


Chairman of the national cumlnls-
sion for sixteen years and president OF
the Cincinnati Reds for an equal
period, August Hermann is one of the
best known men in baseball.
And he is one of the most pleased
men in the game this year since his
team won its first pennant under his
regime. Hermann became prominent
in the National league on August g.,
1902, when he became part owner of
the Reds along with George Cox, now
dead, and Max Flieschman. They
bought the club from John T. Brush
for $4,000. When the club was re-
organized, Hermann became presi-
dent and he never relinquished the
position.
Early in his career. Hermann was
printer. He then got into politics
with the late boss, George B. Cox be-
came associated in some big business
interests with him and finally branch
ed out as a baseball magnate.
Charlie ComIskey.
No more picturesque figure is prom
inent in baseball today than Charles
Comiskey, the "Old Roman" president
of the pennant winning White Sox.
He has been in basebalTs spotlight
for twenty-seven years as manager,
owner and an authority on the ma
tional game. He is the big boss now
of a team that has never lost a worlds
series decision. Twice the White Sox
have landed a pennant and as many
times they have nosed out the Ma
tional league entry in the big classic.
Comiskey first became prominent
as manager of the Cincinnati Reds in
1892, 1893 and 1894. He was not a
bowling success in that capacity, the
team finishing fifth, sixth and tenth
respectively under his guidance. His
big step came in 1900 during the fight
between the National and American
league. He was one of the principal
factors. He helped organize the west
ern wing of the league and later acted
on the committee which met and de-
clared a truce with the older league.
When the league got under way in
1901 he became president of the Chi
cagO club and has held that position
ever since. He had the honor of
heading the first American league
pennant winner

Chicago Takes Action To Clear
Murder Mysteries.

Chicago. Sept. 30.-Selection from

continually growing list of Chicago
murder mysteries according to state

surgeon major in the first Illinois re-
serve militia, evidently was beaten and
stranEled to death, detectives stated.
His flesh had been burned in several
places. Deeds to property were scat
tered about in a book case.
OF the many possibilities advanced
by the detectives in the death OF Mr..
Purcell, the latest was that he had
been killed by an ancient jiu titsu
trick-pressure on the arteries of the
neck shutting off blood from the
brain.
Police today sought two women who,
they believe. will be able to clear up
the murder of DR.. A. r. Karreman.

indicating they volunteered for the
fighting here. One lieutenant on the
staff of Captain d Annunzio wears six
wound stripes. while men who wear
four or five stripes are frequently met.
There is an air of confidence among
the volunteers who. wearing their gray
uniforms. look as much at home as
they would in Rome or Florence. The
uniforms of the men are decked with
the regulation italian army insignia
and military regulations are enforced.
Strictest attention is paid to the mini
tary salute while most rigorous rules
govern those engaged in guard sluty.
Two companies of Alpinists passed
down street today on their way TO
mount guard about the city and as
they marched the men sang patriotic
songs.
Air of Business Prevails.
Altho no news is reaching the city
from the outside world, the Italians
here are confident of winning their
fight. There seems to be plenty of
food. Bread. which is not served in
other parts of Italy. is on restaurant
tables and is displayed in large guam
titles, altho prices are high The ex-
change situation is one which seems
most perplexing, an Italian lire being
worth five crowns of the money of the
former Austro-Hungarian empire.
The city has an air of business and.
despite the presence of thousands of
soldiers, the citizens, are performing
their daily work; as II their city were
not attracting the attention of the
whole world.

ORDINANCE ON VICE
City Commissioners To Force New
Regulations Here.

Regulations Here.
City officials are contemplating the
revision of the venereal disease ordi-
nance. According to the tentative
plan there will be clauses regulating
dance halls; prohibiting the advertis-
ing of patent nostrums for venereal
diseases by poster, placard or in news
papers; and laws regarding the use of
automobiles as houses of i'll repute on
wheels"
The city has no regulations regard
ing dance halls. At present nothing
further is contemplated in their regu-
lation than limitations placing the age
at which persons must be before they
can come to- any public dance hall
without their parents
The State Journal never has carried
ads regarding patent medicines for
venereal diseases and has refused all
advertising of that character. Adver-
Using of this nature has mostly been
disseminated thru the medium of post
ers and placards placed in public
places. Under the new law this will
be stopped.
From reports from the police it is
apparent that the use OF the automo-
bile by women as a place to, ply their
trade has increased perceptibly recent
ly. There will be penalties for any
person convicted of hiring a car to
other persons for disturbances of that
nature
