Billy Evans Says

What may seem to be a difficult
fielding feat, because of the rarity
with which it is performed, does not
always hold true. For instance, take
the triple play, unassistcd. Since the
inauguration of major league base
ball the play has been made only
five times. Peculiarly enough the
feat was performed twice last sea-
son, both times in Boston. Unques-
tionably the triple play, unassisted,
is decidedly rare but not necessarily
difficult.
1t is obvious, that for one PLAYER
to retire the side by making a triple
play, unassisted, the whole situation
must be more or less made to order.
1t so happened that | was the UNI
pirc in the game at Boston last sum-
mer in which First Baseman George
burns of the Boston club made his
unassisted triple play. 1t is some
thing of a coincidence that Burns
turned the trick against Cleveland
the club he is to play with this year
and second and Cleveland trailing by
several runs. On the hit and rum
the batter knocked line drive di-
rectly into Burns hands. He touch
ed out. the runners going to second
and then beat the runner originally
on second back to that base.
AS | waved the third man out.
Burns, with a smile playing over his
lace, turned to. me and remarked:
rs there any one else | can touch
to make it four
Burns will tell you that during
his career in the ma or leagues that
he has made hundreds of plays far
more difficult than his unassisted
triple play, yet that is the one play
that will go down into records, and
stick there long after Burns as q
PLAYER has been forgotten. The
really commendable feature in max
ing triple play, unassisted, is not
the execution of the play but rather
the alertness of the mind in grasp
ing the possibilities. The slightest
fraction of second delay on such a
play would make impossible the sue
cessful completion.
At watched Burns make history
that afternoon at Bosttn, the thing
that | marveled at far more than the
execution Of the play was the way
his mind grasped the situation.
The third and final out at second
baseswas rather close decision. Had
Burns hesitated but slightly in his
intentipHethe play would have failed
to go over. Invariably in a triple
play. unassisted, it is the mental
features. rather than the physical
execution that is deserving Of praise.
Of course, SUCH play provides. =
big thrill for the spectator, but from
q playing angle there is seldom any
thing difficult about it.. The play
sinaply must be made to order to 60
over. ~

LABOR HEADS MEET
LAF0L[ETTE HERE
Discuss Means of Co-Ordi-

in November.
BY L. GOULD LINCOLN,

Senator Robert NJ. La Toilette, head
of the third ticket, today met with
influential leaders of organized labor
at the La Follette-Wheeler head
quarters in the Machinist Building.
The labor leaders, who had gath
cred here for conference over ways
and means of co-ordinating the forces
of labor in behalf of the independent
Progressive ticket, gave the Wiscon-
sin Senator a hearty welcome and
Senator La Toilette addressed the
gathering.
With much impartiality, Senator
La Toilette raped the Republicans
and Democrats. insisting that the big
question: in the presidential cam
paign is:
Are the American people strong
enough to possess themselves OF the
government originally designed for
them?'
"One of the fundamental issues in
this campaign" he continued, "is the
high cost of living, as it was in 1912,
when Woodrow Wilson clearly defined
1t in understandable terms.

tinue to be subjected to the control

c. O.P. CONCERNED
OVER BUTLER ACT
Chairman's Endorsement of
GilIett for Senate Causes
CONSERVATION.
BY n. O. MESSENGER.


NEW YORK, September s.-Con-
sterna tion has been created among Re-
publican leaders here by the action of
William S. Butler, chairman of the Re-
publican national committee. in indors-
ing speaker Gillett of the House of
Representatives for the Republican
nomination for the United States Senate
in the assachusetts primary election
to be held Tuesday. The explicit in
dorsement of the speaker by Chairman
Butler in face of the candidacy of Rep
resentative Daliinger and of Louis A.
Coolidge. former Assistant Secretary of
the Treasury, not only has caused a
sensation, but has created alarm as to
the possible effect. 1t has likewise
served to raise a question in the minds
of Republicans as to the danger of the
possibility of Chairman Butler pulling
a bone" under more important circum-
stances.
1t is remembered that Chairman
Buffers course at the Cleveland con-
vention gummed up the cards on the
vice presidential nomination. The
thing the Republicans are most afra id
of now is the possibility of tactical
mistakes being made in the campaign,
and Chairman Buffers action does
not serve to abate the apprehension.
A bitter factional fight exists over
the Republican nomination for the
senatorship in New Jersey, the out
come of which, as has been pointed
out in The Stars special dispatches,
may affect the presidential campaign.
1t is thought that New Jersey Re-
publicans will not view with equa-
nimity the interposition of Chairman
Butler in the Massachusetts, primary
campaign.
Protest Causes Attention.
The vigorous protest of Representa-
tive Dallinger against Chairman But
ler's action attracted widespread at
tention here today. Mr. Dallinger ex-
pressed the fear that Mr.. Buffers
course will drive fair-minded Repub-
1icans from the party if they believe
'the Republican party has become
boss-ridden." Mr.. Coolidge, in his
dignif1ed statement, is quoted as say
ing that Mr.. Butler had no authority
to speak for the President, and cites
a recent statement of the President
that it would be manifest impropriety
for him to take side in the primaries s.

PARTIES WATCHING
MAINE VOTE TODAY
Democrats Fought Campaign
on KIan Issue-BaIIotinq
May Set Record.
By the Associated Press


PORTLAND. Me, September. s.
The largest vote in the history of
Maine is expected to be cast in to-
days biennial State election in which
the contest for governor, waged
largely on the Ku Klux KIan issue
overshadows all other consideration
AS result of the spirited campaign
just closed and the fine weather
promised for polling day, party lead
ers expected all records to be broken
in numbers voting.
Officers of the Democratic State
committee today predicted that Will
liam r. .Pattargall, former State at
torney general and Democratic can
d1date for governor, would carry Off
plurality of from $4,000 to 10000.
In his campaign speeches Mr.. Pat
tangall denounced the klan, point
ing to the fact that State Senator
Ralph o. Brewster, his Republican
opponent. was supported by the Khan
in his primary campaign.
G. o. p. Equally Confident.
Chairman George L. Emery of the
Republican State committee. on the
other hand, predicted for Mr.. Brew
ster victory by from $4,000 to
10000 votes. The Republican candi-
date in his campaign made no men,
t1on of the Klan, but emphasized
national issues and his support of
President Coolidge.
Leaders of both parties declared
that a careful canvass of the State
indicated that thousands who never
before took an interest in pof1tical
affairs would appear at the polls to-
day. The largest vote cast previous
ly in Maine was 205,400, in the 1900
gubernatorial election.
United States Senator Bert NJ. Fer
nald and all four Congressman from
Maine have been renominated by the
Republicans. Considerable inteest
attached to the result of the congress
sional elections, because of possible
bearing on National politics.
Races Closely Watched.
Recalling the old political proverb:
"As Maine goes SO goes the country"
Democrats everywhere watched the
result of today's voting with keen
interest. Two years ago when Mr..
PattangaIl was Democratic nominee
for governor he was defeated by Per-
cival +. Baxter, Republican, by a
vote polled of 17S.969. In 1920 the
Republican candidate for governor
was elected by a margin of 65,346
and the State gave Harding for Presi-
dent later in the year pluarity Of
67,049.
The Closest vote in the congress
sional contest of 1922 was in the
second district, where Congressman
Wallach H White, jr., received a
plurality of 1860 over Bertrand C..
McIntire, who also is the Democratic
candidate this year. Senator Fer
na1d is opposed by Fulton ]. Redman,
who once was elected to the State
legislature as a Republican.

By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News
GENEVA, September 8.-A terrible
picture Of destruction OF great cities
like London, Paris and New York, by
chemicals in case no effective agree
ments are reached for preventing a
new war, Is drawn in a report just
presented by the special commission
on chemical warfare of the League of
Nations.
This report is not considered fan
tastic or exaggerated. 1t is based
on consultations with the following
experts: Professors Cannot of Har-
ward, Zanetti of Columbia Univer-
sity, Mayer of Paris, Angel of
Florence, Pfeiffer of Breslau, Bordet
OF Brussels, Madsen of Copenhagen
and Palermo of Rome.
The experts agree that the next
war will treat civilians the same as
soldiers. and that it will striks at
great cities by long-range guns and
aircraft. They fear peoples fail to
realize the awful dangers by which
they are threatened. Protection of
combatants against gases will be
difficult, and protection of civilians
almost impossible.
No Limit to Devastation,
While there is no conceivable limit
to the power. efficacy and variety of
chemical warfare, the principal chem
icals already used are tear gas, which
blinds temporarily; sneeze gas, which
causes uncomfortable sneezing, in
tolerable headaches and fits of suffo-
cation; mustard gas, which blisters

asphyxfating gas, which kills by
hemorrhage of the lungs, and syncope-
toxic gas, which kills by instant
paralysis.
All Of the gases are fatal If highly
concentrated. and, even in cases that
are not fatal, IL the lungs are affected
the bad effects are lifelong
Furthermore. the possibility is seri-
ously considered of dropping disease
germs in glass globes on cities from
aircraft, and Prof. Cannot thinks
whole harvests could be ravaged by
similarly scattering parasites. All of
these chemicals are easy to produce,
and factories can be turned from peace
to war overnight, which fact, says
Prof. Zanetti. Introduces an element
OF fear and distrust toward a chem

easily be understood by those famil-

Prof. Mayer adds: TT gives immense
superiority to a power with hostile
intentions. An injurious substance

ton. can completely destroy every
shadow of resistance"

FALL ASKS HALT|NG
OF NEW OIL PROBE
Declares Grand Jury Inquiry
Is Blind to Secure Evil
dence for Prosecution.

Albert B. Fall of New Mexico, for
mer Secretary Of the Interior, today
made an attempt in the District Su-
preme Court to halt the Governments
new probe into the oil situation
which has been in progress before
week. Through Attorney Henry A.
Wise of New York and Cooke & Bene-
mann Of Washington the former Sec
retary charges that abuse of the
process of the court is being made
by Atiee Pomerene and Owen J. Rob-
erts, special counsel for the United
States in the oil prosecutions, by
summoning witnesses before the
grand jury on fishing expedition" !"
In his petition Mr.. Fall asks that
subpeonas already issued be quashed
and the proceedings stopped.
Justice Siddons issued a rule on the
Governments special counsel to show
cause tomorrow why the proceeding
before the grand jury should not be
stopped.
Lists Many Complaints.
Mr.. Fall points out in proof of his
claim that the proceeding before the
grand jury Is not for the purpose of
securing additional indictments, but
to gather evidence to bolster up the
Governments charges, both in the
criminal cases against Fall and
others and in the civil proceedings
before Western courts to recover oil
lands held in lease that during the
session of the grand jury stenogra-
pher has been present who is not an
attorney, nor an assistant to the at
torney general. Any indictment re-
ported by a grand jury when an out
slider was present during the taking
of testimony would not be legal, it is
claimed, and the fact that the services
of this court reporter have been used
by Pomerene and Roberts proves they
do not seek an Indictment, but are
looking only for evidence and using
the power of the grand jury to make
persons bring papers before that body
which the counsel could not otherwise
require to be shown.
Among the witnesses summoned and
whose use Mr.. Fall seeks to prevent
are c. E. Crawley, vice president of
the Sinclair Consolidated Oil Corpora
tion; r. w. Stewart, a director of the
Sinclair Crude Oil Purchasing Com
pany and A. E. Humphreys, formerly
president of the Humphreys Mexia
Company.
Delay I'm PROCEEDINGS.
Mr.. Fall insists that the proceeding
here is similar to one recently con-
Quoted by the same Government at
torney in New York City, where wit
nesses were called before the grand
Jury and no Indictment secured.
Attorney Wise had expected the oil
inquiry would proceed today and had
asked the court to issue a rule forth
with, but no learning that no wit
nesses were expected until Wednes-
day changed his request and took n
rule returnabTe tomorrow.
