TALKING
IT OVER
WITH JOE WILLIAMS

CT. LOUIS, Oct. 9.-The baseball
~ reporter looking for his favor
Ste Notwithstanding little of
it in the managerial chairs of the
two world series contenders.
William McKechnie of the Car
dinals is an unobtrusive, self-ef1ac-
ing gentleman in his early forties
who looks as if he might own the
feed store back in his native Wilkes
Barre, Pa.
Meeting him you almost expect
that the first thing he is going to
tell you about, and with no little
animation, is how he gets Portland
(OreD on crystal.
There is nothing about him
that suggests the SwaShbuckling
leader of the diamond or pro-
found student of the dugOut pop
ular fancy pictures these dis
tinguiShed baseball directors to
be.
Mr.. McKechnie's history is SIM
pie. He was a better than average
inf1elder in his day, reasonably
observant and early in the game
evidenced a certain capacity for
organization 1t was inevitable
he would end his baseball days as
a manager.
MILLER j. HIGGINS, 50-year-
1V1 old son of an English cricket
player, who leads the Yankees, is
much like Bill. Mr. Higgins has
been called the most colorless char
acter in baseball. Possibly he is.
This should go to show how unim-
portant color is.
Even less than his rival, does Mr..
Higgins suggest the heroic figure
of the baseball gladiator. He is
small, old looking beyond his years,
and has the appearance of an all
ing gentleman who must be careful
about starchy foods.
Mr.. Higgins has one of the keen
est minds in baseball and these
keen minds are not exactly han
dicap when you are managing ball
clubs.
The Cardinals manager is
Scotch and is popularity supposed
to practice the frugal tendencies
of the race. His square jaw and
cold eyes tell of courage and de-
termination. He is man of his
own convictions. When he thinks
he is right he will play the string
out, win, lose, or draw.
Mr.. Higgins has much easier
time handling his ball players to-
day than when he first took over
the club. Now he has more to say
about the Yanks than that great
martinez Mr.. John j. McGraw does
about the Giants. At least there
is nobody around who sells any
Hornsbys or Grimeses without Mil
Ter knowing about it.

 HELP TRACK CHAMPIONS

BOSTON, July 6. = Northeast ern University's undefeated track and field team owes much of it's success this year to it's four Thompsons, all runners and un- related.

MRS. 6. SHAVER ATTACKS SMITH AND PLATFORM
Wife of National Chairman Predicts Dry Women
 Not Support Ticket
ELECTED 10 Int N.T S7ATe ASSEMBLY,

WASHIiNGTON July 6.-Mrs. Glenn Shaver, wife of the Demo- cratic National Committeeman, today laid down a barrage against Gov. Alfred E. Smith, the party's nominee for the Presidency, and predicted that the women members of the Demo- cratic Party would not vote for him in the November election. She charged that the New York CT had stamped himself as a charlatan and fakir."
 In statement prepared for publication by Mrs. Shaver, she said:
 We Dry Democrats will not support the dripping wet ticket and joke platform named by the Tammany delegates. Mrs. Shay CT is chairman of the West Vir- ginia Division of the National Woman's Democratic Law En- forcement League.
 Continuing, her statement said {: How many times has Tammany supported the party nominee in the past 16 years" and answered the query by saying, Not Once."
 She also took occasion to take a sarcastic. fling at various Demo- cratic leaders who have announc- ed they will support Smith and Robinson and the platform. She said: Regardless of what the Democratic leaders from top to bottom may do, we do not believe more than a few of the millions |of Democratic women can be fooled as all of the Democratic leaders appear to have been fool ed by the platform. The idea of men like Josephus Daniels, Dan Moody, Joe Robinson, Carter Glass and Jed Adams saying, I am Demorat, I will support the party nominee

Friendship Tree Plot
 Key Is Given to U. s,

WASHINGTON, July 6. - A golden key to the bronze fence enclosing the tree of friendship at Havana has been received from the Cuban government by Secre- tary Kellogg of the department of state.
 The tree, the roots of which are embedded in the soil of 21 ma. tions, was planted with elaborate ceremony last February 24, on the Camp de Marte, Havana, during the sixth international conference of American states. President Machado, officials of the Cuban government, members of the dip lomatic corps and delegates to the conference were present.
 Soil from historic hacienda of Cuba was placed at the base by President Machado, after which representative of each of the other 20 nations, to the strains of his national air, deposited earth from his country. That from the United States came from Mount Vernon, Washingtons home on the banks of the Potomac in Vir- ginia.
 The golden key is a replica of that presented to each of the 21 nations, and probably will be placed in the Pan-American Union building here.

FOUR THEORIES ABOUT MYSTERY
 DEATH AT SEA

PARIS, July 6.-Capt. Alfred Lowenstein, mystery man of Eur opean finance, proves to be more Of a mystery figure in death.
 Four theories regarding his plunging from private airplane while crossing the North Sea, are advanced, accident, crime, suicide and hoax.
 There is a growing belief that his death was not accidental. The theory of crime, while not impos- sible, is considered more improb- able. A hoax does not seem like ly in many financial circles and the suicide theory is strongly urged. It is pointed out that during the last month, many of the Lowenstein stocks suffered reyerses.

STONE AGE MAN FOUND
 ALEUTIANS
Discovery Reported by Me Cracken Expedition
 Now to Westward

NEW YORK, July 6.-Discov- cry of what is believed to be the mummified remains of a Stone Age man, is described in dis patch to the New York Times from Harold McCracken. head of the expedition of the American Museum of Natural History to the Aleutian Islands.
 Four mummiiied bodies, three adults and one infant, were found on a summit of an almost inaccessible island, along with clothing and domestic articles, hunting weapons and other things that went with the burial in the early barbarian days.
 The burial tomb bore evidence of Mongolian influence but noth- ing to indicate contact with an cient and modern civilization.
 The vault is made well-shaped, of mortised drift logs, held to- gether by bone nails and was wedged in a rock creyice. The lining of the vault was of cured otter skins. The vault is divid- ed into two parts. In one was the man, evidently of high rank. In the other part were two adults and the body of child. The body of the ancient Ice King was clothed in otter skins. Surrounding the skirt were bird skins and both were elaborately decorated. Around the body were skins Of animals, surmounted by | a layer of woven grass. The whole was enclosed in a parch- ment like layer of sea lion intes- tines.
 The other bodies were less elaborately dressed and are be- llieved to have been servants. 2.

 0OO. .000,00O in 1927.
 Nevertheless Thomas emphasiz-
 ed that the economic situation is still difficult in number of
 countries, almost reaching the stage of crisis in certain economic fields. The difficulty is in adapt | ing buying power to produce power-as witness the situation in the coal industry in Europe,
 which is suffering from over pro duction. Thomas believes that the problem is in finding means
 of bringing the markets power of

 ductive capacity of men and ma chimes.

BELGRADE. July 6.-The Jugo- Slav government faces diplo- matic problem of first magnitude this month with the expiration of the treaty of friendship with Italy.
 Increasing concern is manifest in foreign office circles. The treaty has already been extended six months and there seems no possi- bility of postponing longer the de- cision between renewing the in strument or denouncing it.
 The main difficulty in the way of the renewal of this pact of friendship is the Nettuno Conyen- tions, in 1924, but have never been ratified by the Jugoslav parliament.

 Menagerie men used to organize their own expeditions to capture circus animals, but the wild ami nal business is on a department store basis now. Prices are not always marked in plain figures for this part of the world dearly loves to bargain, but the first ses sion of the fair, held recently. es tablished fairly definite market prices for jungle beasts.
 Prices have gone up since the war, but not much more than i; justified by the depreciation oi money. Good elephants sell foi $2,000 and and up, lions are cheaI at, $40 for the moth-eaten variet, and $400 for those with fearsome rOars and lordly manners, hand some tigers with splendid appe tites go for $2O0 and leopards arc partners for even less.
 These prices are leash and car ry" figures. The purchaser may lead his Bengal tiger home witt a string if he wishes, but tht jungle market men suggest bring ing strong cage.
