EDITOR IN 18B6
 !. FORETOLD EVENTS NEXT CENTURY
PREDICTED LEAGUE NATIONS, AIRPLANES, PROPORTIONS
 AND WORLD COURT

ST. PAUL, Minn., Nov. g, (P)- Making predictions on events to oc- cur within the next 100 years is, in 1 a sense, a task comparatively free of danger since one would not be alive to hear tauntS over errors.
 But to indicate forecasts accur- ately that more than half of them have come true within half cen tury is nothing short of magic and such was the record of an editor in 1 a St. Louis newspaper in 1886.
 Tn dismantling an old home here the clipping bearing the prediction of "E. P. P" the otherwise anony- nous St. Louis writer, came to light. It was from a newspaper published February 19, 1886
 E. F. P. started out as follows:
 T shall take the liberty of trans porting you 100 years into the fu- ture. It is January, 1886"
 And then-well, here is what he predicted:
 Formation of a League of Nations which he called by that very name
 Formation of a World Court for Isettlement of international dis Iputes.
 Machines in which man would fly with ease carrying heavy weights and freight.
 Perfection of the "photophone" by means of which the worlds news would be broadcast by sound and picture.
 General knowledge of world events on the day they occur.
 Reformation rather than penali- zation of criminals.
 Increases in the span of human life.
 So much for the predictions which already have come partly true, at least 43 years after they were made.
 E. P. P. has still 57 years for his following predictions to material ize:
 Roads to be given over to culti- vation, having been made unneces- sary by air transportation. ! Abandonment of post offices with aerial mail delivery at each persons door by parachute.
 A new United States, stretching from Panama to Alaska, comprised of 94 states
 Complete abolition of standing armies.
 Congressional sessions only once in 10 years and the passage of no laws which cannot immediately be repealed.
 Houses built of paper and equip ped with aluminium and glass. l Powerful stations for the distri- button of photophone news.
 Easy communication with other planets
 Education by individuals rather than by platoons.
 Extension of human life to an average span of 80 years; one out of every 200 persons to reach 125 years; one out of 1000 to reach 15O, and extraordinary cases of 200 or more years.

NEW RULING

Under new ruling female reindeer may be disposed of by a native of Alaska to any person, upon the written approval in each instance of the general supervisor of the AL aska Reindeer Service or his agent, provided each individual owner must at all times retain at least 100 female deer for breeding pur- poses. The regulation becomes ef- fective at once.

The shooting for turkeys will continue all day long, according to Douglas and Seifert, sponsors of the event, who are charging an entry fee of $1 each to participants The ladies of the Seward Athletic Club are in charge of the eats.

IG-HEARTED baseball magnates
- are about to begin payment to
the fiddler for a two-weeks
~ dance through open dates to-
ward two crowded week-ends
which may or may not entice sufficient
fans to the parks to pay the ushers.
William Wrigley, of course, is sitting
pretty with the Cubs, and even the Ath-
leticS should prove no great financial
drain upon the Messrs. Shibe and Nc
Glllicuddy in the dying days, but the
rest Of the boys face deficit estimated
in the aggregate at anywhere between
$3.50, 900 and 100000.
If anything can bring rnagnate to
his senses, it Is O deficit, and for this
reason alone 1t may be authoritatively
stated that the schedules for 1880 will
make use Of the time-saving opportuni-
ties offered by Sunday base ball in Bos-
ton. With. 8 few regularly scheduled
Philadelphia, full week could easily
be cut from the 1929 program, which
covered Is weeks or 174 playing days.
Runaway Races Hurt.
The poor business being transacted at
the turnstiles at this moment is largely
due, of course, to the two runaway
races, about which the magnates can do
nothing. But If race is going to be
lopSided anyhow, the club owners GER
tainly will lose less by moving toward
the finish with q minimum OF open
dates.

their park one day last week, the Yam

the Cubs today had Ave days
during which to pull themselves to-
gether for the finish Of their season
against the Philadelphia Athletics.
The exhibitions of Charlie Root and
Guy Bush in the two final contests with
the Giants showed them to be in need
of something. If 1t Is rest, five days are
available due to the break in the sched-
ule, although Joe Mccarthy will take
his band to Aurora, ILL.,, Wednesday for
an exhibition game with semi-pro
team. Regular practice sessions Will be
held on the other days, except for those
whom complete idleness will help to
regain form.
The return yesterday to the lineup
of Gabby Hartnett, ranked as the lead
ing catcher of the senior league last
season, who has been kept out OF action
by an ailing throwing arm this year,
brought a measure of announcement
Hartnett was not called upon to try his
arm on base stealers, but in an attempt
to snipe a runner off third base Hart
nett demonstrated that the injured
member has not recovered.
Capt. Charlie Grimm will be back on
first base when the Cubs start a SIX
game series with the Cincinnati Reds
Saturday. The splint has been removed
from his left hand which was injured
more than month ago, and he is ready
to take over his job, which has been
handled by Clarence Blair and Cnarne
TolSon.
Estimates on the probable season at
tendance at Wrigley Field indicate the
Cubs will be owner of a new record for
both major leagues. Unofficial fgures
say the Cubs already have performed
before more than 100000 fans with
three games yet to be played in the home
park. The champions are scheduled to
meet the Reds here next Saturday and
Sunday, followed by four contests In
Cincinnati, starting october 2. The
finale of the season will be played at
Wrigley Field against the Pirates octo-

AS a fielder, the sturdy Jimmy
is no mean hand. He has erred
but 7 times on 1858 chances, and
is a clever man in handling
ground balls of every description,
and can go far either way for a
chance.
But great as Foxx is, he will not
monopolize hrst-base honors, now that
it is certain Charlie Grimm's injured
wrist has healed sufficiently to permit
his playing in the series. The Cub cap
tain has been the leading first base
man of the National League for many
years. and there are few better III IN
snatching low throws out OF the dirt,
handling hunts, and stretching for
dizzy throws.
AS a batter, Grimm doesn't COM
pare with Foxx in power and barely
is over the 800 mark. Rather slow
afoot, he has pounded out % two-bag-
gers, 8 triples and 10 home runs, which
is no mean record. But afleld, the CUB
has a marked edge over Foxx. In less
games than the Philadelphian, Grimm
has handled 16 more chances, and has
been in 10 more double plays, SO the
fact that Foxx tops him Shy 2 per CEN
tage points in fielding means nothing.
Grimm Is one Of the big reasons
for the Cub victory. He is dynamo on
the field, urging his mates to q high
grade Of play, while of the diamond
he is a natural born entertainer. The
Cubs chances of victory are greatly
increased by Grimms return to the
