Greatest Of All.


While the Giants outfield OF 1928
viii be truly great in every respect,
Il still will fall quite a little short
Of the mark set by Lewis, Speaker
and Hooper in Boston. In every
other department Of the game there
IL unending argument as to who was
the greatest ever. but young and
old alike concede outfield supremacy
for all time to the star trio that made
baseball history for the Red Sox.
II was due IN no small measure
to the work of this outfield that the
Red Sox won the worlds champion
ship in 1919 over the Giants. and
repeated in 1915 over the Phillies.
In the 1912 series. Harry Hooper
made two game-saving catches in
the deciding engagement. and Iris
Speaker drove In the run that tied
the score In the tenth.
In 1915, Duffy Lewis, pitted
against some of the best pitching
ever shown in the series. drove out
home runs at vital intervals.
When the 1916 series rolled around
Iris Speaker had been sold to the
late Jim Dunn, who was building
the Cleveland team up to pennant
caliber. but Lewis and Hooper re-
mained to thrill the crowds in Brook
lyn and Boston. Babe Ruth at that
time had not been developed into an
outfielder.

PACKERS TRADE NORMAL AGAIN.
 SAYS WILSON
Head of Big Chicago Firm Says Stable Thinking" and. Horse Sense" Did It.

Chicago, H.. Oct. 19--Good stable thinking and the application of horse sense'' in meeting and solving the problems encountered along the stormy road to normal operation, and it's attendant prosperity, has given to the American packing industry the enviable distinction Of being the first great American industry to attain that objective without cutting down pro- duction or causing suffering by it's employees, according to Thomas E. Wilson, head of the great packin g company bearing his name and presi- dent of the Institute of American Meat Packers, which just concluded it's seventeenth annual convention here.
 Addressing approximately 200 opti- mistic delegates, representing the packing industry in the United States, Wilson outlined the progress made during the last year by the industry, declaring. that not only, has the set. back suffered during the period of def1ation become a matter of history, but that the industry sees only pros perity ahead.
 Wholesale prices or meats, Wilson asserted, have now virtually returned to the levels of 1913, the differences plus or ninus-varying only to the extent of a few cents at the most, and in many cases only fractions of a cent. Meat values are now virtually stable, he said; the seasonal 1uctua- tions-always more or less a bugbear can now be treated as such and met "4lucul tue dIllOSt OlSaSlcOuS losses which have accompanied such huctua- tions in the last few years.
 Wilson presented Federal statistics showing that the differences in prices of packer products at the present time are practically those of pre-war days. On all pork products, the figures showed, the greatest difference was ten cents a pound on Joins. Hams and skinned shoulders differed by three cents and one cent, respectively; leaf lard and spare ribs were but one-ha If cent different from those of 1913.
 With beef. veal and hides. likewise Wilson pointed out. the 1922 prices are virtually the prices of 1913.
 The readjustment process was q natural one and not an artificial one brought about by the curtailing of production to prevent possible fnan- cial loss to the packers, Wilson as serted. The number of animals slaughtered during the first seven months of 1921 and 1922 showed thai the packers were buying all animals sent to the yards. he declared

 Votei Vote. Vote! This Is one election in which you can vote early and often-the earlier and the more often the better.
 Is Bridgeport going to fail in the Good Will Election? As the returns look from day to day it is rather obvious that the candidates are not receiving the support they should.
 Does this mean that the city of Bridgeport has no Interest In elect ing a candidate? There are folks working hard for some of the candi- dates-but there must be a concerted movement throughout the city if the election is to be a real success
 The American Committee or De- vastated France has never asked Bridgeport for any money before and it never will again. The amount col 1ected in these elections through out the country will enable those Amer1- can women to finish the work started away back in 1917-
 It is a great achievement for a city to be represented. The papers throughout this country and Europe carry columns about the elections and the cities from which delegates have been chosen. It places a town in international affairs in a way to be proud of

CORONER BLAMES TRANSFER FOR
 BOYS DEATH

Coroner John J. Phelan, in a find ing today, declared John Roth of 42 Clinton avenue. Bridgeport, driver of a lumber wagon which ran down Edward Mons1y. one year old, on Oct. II, was criminally responsible for the boys death and had abundant time, ample space and opportunity to avoid running over the child.
 The little boy was playing in the street in front of his home at 255 Villa avenue, Fairfield, when Roth, who is employed by the West End Lumber company, came along with a horse-drawn lumber wagon. Roth is an experienced driver but in this in- stance failed to exercise sufficient caution, the coroner finds. The driver attempted to turn out but the wagon swerved, one of the wheels passing over the boy and causing in juries which subsequently resulted in his death.

MUIR DER IN BARN
 BELIEF

(Continued from Page One.) gate every story told to them no mat ter how wild or far-fetched it seemed on the surface.
 The murder was comnltIeo nVs weeks ago but so far there has not been a single arrest in direct connec- tion with the crime except the raise arrest of Clifford Hayes. Pubic 1eel- ing is running so high over the ln- ability of the detectives to solve the double murder that it was anticipated that a personal appeal would be made today to Gov. Edward l. EdWardS 10 appoint some high and competent of ficial to direct the inquiry with dic- torial powers.
 Gov. Edwards is scheduled to make a political speech here late today and it was considered probable that the request would be made to him after the speech. Already petitions have been sent to the governor by Mrs Hall through her counsel, and by Charlotte Mills. Both asked for executive ac- ton to help clear up the crimes so now pals the life of several New Brunswick families might be lifted.
 Woman's Screams Heavy.
 Mrs Hall and her brother, Henry Stevens already have been questioned about the story told by the two men who said they heard a woman scream ing for help in the deserted old barn four miles from the Phillips farm. It IS evident, however, IldL they were unable to throw light upon this new development in the investigation Mrs. Han through friends of the family said she told all she knows. She has increased still further her isolation since the publication of the passionate love letters that passed between her husband and Mrs. MiNs. These let ters and Dr. Halls love diary have come as a tremendous shock to a num- Der of the members of the congrega- tion of the Church of St. John the Evangelist, who believed until the very last that the relations between pr. Hall and the pretty choir singer were purely platonic.
 Even yet Mrs. Hall refuses to be- Heve that her husband could have de ceived her while carrying on clendestine love affair with her friend Mrs. Mills, friends of the Hall fam fly said.
 The diary revealed the method pur- sued by pr. Hall to keep his wife from learning of his correspondence with Mrs Mills when he (the clergyman) and Mrs. Hall were spending the sum mer at Isleford, Me. Dr. Hall had Mrs. Mills direct her letters to a post office in a village half a mile away while he got his ordinary business let ters at the Isleford postoffice.
