Killefer VIII Succeed
IF Unn1oLested-HOtOIey
BY WALTER TRUMBULL.

It would appear that one of the
men roofing hardest for Bill Killefer
and the st. Louis Browns IS a man
ager of a ball club in the other big
league. His name is Dan Howley.
"Bill Killefer is one of the great
est fellows in base ball" says Howley.
He is smart, he knows the game,
and the men will all do their best
for him. He was my right-hand
man and / know what good man.
ager he should be. If they let him
alone he will make fine showing
with that club"
Howley's chief difficulty appears to
have been that they would not let
him alone. Just why an owner hires
q manager, If he aspires to do the
managing himself, Is an unsolved
question. Still, the Browns under
Howley finished third, and he doesn't
believe they will do any worse this
season.

Red Sox Get Promising
Recruit in Odd Manner

PENSACOLA, Fla, March 19
R-Tom oliver, who has q good
chance to hold down the regular
center field berth with the Red Sox,
came to the club in q roundabout
way. Last year he was sensation
with Little Rock of the Southern
League and big league scouts came
bidding for him, including President
Bob Quinn's representative.
Little Rock raised the price and
all the scouts moved out, leaving him
eligible for the draft, and Connie
Mack took him. In January Mack
decided he didn't need another out
fielder and asked waivers on him so
he could be sent back to Little Rock.
At this point Quinn stepped in
again and got him at the waiver
price, decidedly cheap.

Do you dread the day when death
will finally call to you or yours, and
not be denied? Cheer up. Inhab-
itantS Of washington have a lower
death rate than the inhabitants of
most other cities in the United States
Other things being equal, though that
is hard to guarantee. your chances of
continued life. in Washington are above
the average.
.Ofhcial figures have recently been
collected and compiled, and, just pub
lshed, on deaths from all causes in
territory containing 80 per cent of the
population Of continental United States.
In the year covered, death called ia
people out Of every 10000. He called
lob out Of every 10000 white persons
and 173 out of every 10000 colored.
Deaths in Washington.
However, the death rate in the city
Is higher than in the country, and
for colored higher than for whites, so
that for comparison with Washington
the figures for whites and colored In
cities must be used. In the course of
the year, then, 1i8 out Of every 10000
white persons living in cities may be
expected to answer Deaths summons.
In Washington it is only 90 out of
10000. In other words, If you are q
white resident Of Washington you have
about q 20 per cent higher expecta-
ton Of life, other things being equal,
than the average white city dweller in
other parts Of the United States.
It Is 224 out Of every 10000 colored
city jewellers who may expect to have
Death call them In the course of the
year. In Washington it Is only EOS
of every 10000. That u, If you are
a colored resident Of Washington you
have about 10 per cent higher ex-
pectation of life, other things being
equal, than the average colorcd city
dweller in other parts Of the Nation.
This rate for Washington has been
readjusted so as to exclude deaths of
non-residents occurring in Washington
and to include deaths Of residents oc-
curing elsewhere than in Washington.
Here and Hereabouts.
Since the death rate varies by local.
ity, the following table is presented to
show the standing Of Washington COM

Almost 2 per cent Of all deaths are
due to automobile accidents and about
per cent to suicide. Appendicitis and
typhlitis account for only slightly more
than per cent, and typhoid, diphtheria,
measles. and whooping cough for less
than per cent each
