were sure they had locked the
doors the night before.
1t was shortly after midnight,
while the Whitman brothers were
lying in wait, that Byars entered the
store, nsing pass key. Then the
Whitman brothers guns were turn

Byars, as to stop him from getting

BASEBALL ABROAD
 l HAS NO CHANCE
Should Be Taught in Schools,
 Jennings Says

Scranton, Pa, Dec. 4.--Hugh A., Jennings; assistant manager of the New York National baseball club, who returned 10 his home here last night from his trip abroad with the Giants and White Sox, said that baseball would never gain a strong foothald in Europe until it is taught
 in the public schools. Mir. Jennings said the tour was not a financial success, due 10 bad weather and railroad conditions.
 Tt was not a money-making cx- pedition," said MT. Jennings, i've went across the Atlantic for other reasons than financial ones. The trip afforded a lot of fun for all concerned. Every one of the S3 members Of the baseball party had a good time and everywhere through Europe the players were warmly received,
 "tt is out of the question to make ball players out of adult Europeans. l The younger generation must study | land start playing the game. and then it would be only question of time when baseball would flourish" MT. Jennings was particularly en- thusiastic about the reception given the baseball players by King George. of England. the Prince of Wales, the Duke of York and others in London
 He added that another baseball tour may be arranged next year.
