tuc ldSt uby W. VIC oS3oVn'
An add feature of the contest was
that the Sox had been champions OF
1905 and the Tigers were champions
OF 1907. Could Fielder Jones' famous
hitless wonder regain their laurels,
or would Jennings sluggers defend
their hard-won title OF 1907 and Gerry
it for another year?
The big question before the famous
contest was who would do the pitch
ing for the Sox.
work that Ed Walsh performed on
that 1908 White Sox team. He led
the>leaguo that season with forty vic
tories, fifteen defeats and one tie, his
percentage being 1877, Altogether he
worked in sixty-six of the 1b8 games
played by the Sox that year, which
was forty-one per cent OF the total
number Of contests.
wakh~ HercuIean Efforts.
Only the Herculean efforts Of the
big spitballer kept the White Sox in
the running in that last mad dash
through September and early October
with the Tigers and Indians. Walsh
worked in seven OF the last nine
games played by tie white Sox that
year, including n double victory
scored over Boston on September 20.
On October . he lost one OF the
most famous pitchers battle OF base
ball history to Addie Joss, of Clevo-
land, by a score of / to 0. joss did
not permit a White Sox to reach base
and Walsh struck out fifteen OF the
Clevelanders.
Walsh came back the next day and
beat Liebhardt, of Cleveland. On Oc-
tober 8, the same day that the
Browns, with Dineen in the box, put
Cleveland out of the race, Walsh beat
Summers, of Detroit, O to I.
Would Fielder Jones continue to
string along with Walsh to the bitter
finish? 1t was a tough problem for
brains Of the sox. to decide. The
choice narrowed down to Walsh or
Doc White, left-hander, who at that
time was Ty Cobb's link" pitcher.
He was the only pitcher In the league
who apparently had the young stars
number.
Donovan vs.. Doc White.
Bill Donovan. who ranked next to
Walsh that season among American
League pitchers, was Jennings twirt-
ing choice, and at the last moment
Fielder Jones selected Doc white 10
do his pitching.
Taking into consideration the i'm
portRnce of the game. perhaps tho
most important ever played In the
American League, the contest wns a
sorry disappointment. II was sick
ening sight to the faithful Chicago
rooters. Many OF them wept for there
are no more ardent rooters In tho
world than those that swear feaity
to Charley Comiskey.
The White Sox. in their most i'm
portant game, were not defeated;
they were utterly routed. The Tigers,
with the clever Donovan bowling
down the Sox like so many ten pins,
played horse with Chicago and won
the game by tho lop-sided score of
7 to o,
One wild hrst inning cooked the
hopes OF the Sos before the contest
was ten minutes old. Jones had start
cd the wrong horse in white, for the
southpaw lasted only n third OF an
inning. Four Detroit runs were in
before Walsh. the rescuer, could puS
out the fire.

Assault Case is
 Before Grand Jury
 in Lincoln County

Testimony relative to the assault week ago Sunday on George w. Bryant, drainage ditch contractor, and his wife in woods near South Bend and supposed to have been per- the grand jury at Star City, Tuesday. petrated by negro by the name of Wilbur Crissball, was presented to
 Findings of the jury will probably be reported, Wednesday, according to Prosecuting Attorney E. w. Brock man, who returned to Pine Bluff last night after hearing testimony throughout the day. Judge w. B. Sorrells and Court Stenographer Grover Snuggs also returned to their homes last night.
 MT. Brockman stated that although some testimony in the assault case had been taken it had not been com 'pleted. The case has attracted con- siderable attention due to circum- stances that attended the alleged as- sault when the contractor was hit over the head with stick of wood and his wife accosted. Crisball, who was captured shortly afterwards, was taken to the convict farm at Cum mins, where the attempt of a small mob to get him was frustrated by of ficers, who took the accused negro into the woods and kept him all night, a deputy warden and con vict trusty composing the negroes guard.

Democratic Nominee Declares Opponents After Thirty
 Millions to Defeat Him

Boise, Idaho, Sept. 14.-A fund of from $25,000,000 to S30,OO0,000 is being raised to defeat him, Governor Cox, democratic candidate, declared today during his tour of Idaho and eastern Oregon. Although the gov ernor's charges heretofore were that the total opposition would not be less than $15,0OO,0O0, he raised that figure today. The governors statement was in response to question from his audience asking how he expected to return conditions to normal, when eighty per cent of the wealth is held by two per cent of the people.
 eff 80 per cent of the people will forget their politics." the governor replied, "and help me lick the two per cent that is raising a fund of from $25,000,O0O to $30,000,000 to beat me, we will make government an agency for the one hundred per cent and not the two per cent"
 Delivers Eight Speeches.
 Eight speeches, dealing mainly with the democratic doctrins of peace and progress" were delivered today by Governor Cox.
 Disregarding physicians orders banning outdoor speeches, the gov ernor believing his attack of Speaker Yaryngitis on the wane, delivered a string of open air addresses and closed his day with speech to a large meeting here tonight.
 The league of nations was preach ed in all and was emphasized here in the home city of Senator Borah, republican "irreconcilable" foe of the league.
 Governor Cox told his audience that opposition to the league was a political plot against America as we'll as against world civilization, designed to continue disorder, to increase feel ing against the Wilson administration and to win the present election.
 History will write it as the most reprehensible in all time," he said.

 ON MARION PORCH
Nominee Declares Solution of California Race Question is
 Imperative to Security

Marion, O., Sept. 14.-Solution of the Pacific coast race problem was declared by Senator Harding today to be imperative if the nations fu- ture security and tranquility are to be insured.
 Speaking to party of Californians, the nominee said the federal gov ernment could not afford to be un- mindful of the situation raised by Oriental immigration, but must give its support to the far western states in necessary measures, consistent with our national honor to relieve them of their difficulties"
 Without raising the question of racial inequality, he asserted, provis- ion could be made to exclude aliens who had shown themselves incapable of Amcricanization. He added that the right to take such steps was as- sured both by moral law and by inter- national usage.
 Defends Senate.

Cheers answered many of the nominees declarations and af- ter he had finished the crowd gave "three cheers for Harding"

 More than five hundred posts were represented.
