Hoople Finds Cards Strategy Bad,
 Their Only Breaks On As Pitches

Tck! Tck! AS if they needed any such admonition as that! In fact. hitting is just about what the Athletics have been doing exclusive ly. Haw-er, I beg pardon, except for scoring.
 MT. Adams should do his shout ing when the Cardinals are at bat, cgad! It seems to your analytical correspondent that would be more appropriate.
 Your correspondent became in volved in quite an argument a few moments ago. It concerned the breaks of the pastime, which my friend John McGraw insists have been accorded the Athletics at op perfume moments. MT. McGraw was considerably incensed when I amended his assertion by declaring the Cardinals have been receiving breaks as well, but explained to John that the breaks were served up by Mcssrs, Grove and Earnshaw, Aroomph!
 Adieu then. for the nonce.

 Left for Overhauling
 The Montcalm left Guantanamo September 30 for Charleston for a regular overhauling. At a. m., to- miles east of Miami and about 450 |miles southeast of Charleston.
 In command of Chief Boatswain William J. Smith, of West Roxbury, Mass, the craft carried three off, cers and AZ enlisted men.

MRS. BROSSEAU GETS
 DECREE OF DIVORCE
Greenwich Society Woman Says Husband Slapped
 Her Face

Bridgeport Oct. 3 R>-Grace Hill Brosseau, of Greenwich. for mer president of the Ma tional Daughters of the American Revolution and prominent in social circles in Connecticut and New York, was granted a divorce from Alfred Joseph Brosseau, wealthy New York business man, on the ground of cruelty, by Judge Alfred c. Bald win in superior court here today. She was represented by former States Attorney Homer c. Cum mings, and although an uncontested case, the defendant was represented by Judge James F. Walsh.
 The climax to the married life of the couple, according to the testi- mony, came at their home May 14 last. Mrs. Brosseau was in her room dressing for a dinner party when her husband entered and demanded the key of the wine cellar. During his absence in Europe she had the lock changed. Mrs. Brosseau refused to give up the key. MT. Brosseau showed anger. loud words were spoken and suddenly Mir. Brosseau slapped her in the face and stamped out of the room.
 Mrs. Brosseau attended the fash ionable dinner party, but marks on her face were distinctly clear and excited many questions, she said.
 Mrs. Brosseau and her three wit nesses were outstanding in appear ance and attire in the court room.
 The testimony of the plaintiff was that she was married to the defen- dant December 20. 1899. The mar ried life of the couple at Greenwich ran smoothly enough until two years ago, when Mrs. Brosseau told Judge Baldwin his attitude toward her changed.
 "All his affection for me ceased" she said dramatically.
 Mrs. Wilson Fielder and Mrs. Mary Plunkett, both of Greenwich, testi- fled that they were ~present at the dinner and knew of the husband striking Mrs. Brosseau. Mrs. Fielder also was a. witness to the assault.

Nurses Are Becoming
 Prettier Every Year

That the nurse of today is beautiful but not dumb was the opinion expressed by Miss Martha Wilkinson, state board examiner, at the meeting of the educational section of the Graduate Nurses association, in the First Baptist church this morning. Not only are the nurses who go to Hart ford to meet the examiners good looking but they are more beauti- full than the classes of former years, Miss Wilkinson said.
 Perhaps that doesn't please you so much" Miss Wilkinson added, "but 1 must also say that in checking over the examination papers we find that the nurses are better trained and that should be a source of satisfaction to you.

Officials Deeply Moved

London, Oct. P)-The public generally and missionary circles in particular were deeply moved to- day by advices that Chinese con- munist bandits had killed the two British missionaries, Miss Edith Nettleton and Miss Eleanor June Harrison, because a ransom for their release was not paid.
 Miss Nettleton worked in car- pet mill in her home town of}Hali- fax, Yorkshire, and was a Sunday school teacher in St. Augustines church parish. She went out to China for the Church Missionary society in 1908 and spent most of her time at Chungan working among women and girls. She was home on furlough last year.
 Went to China in 1896
 Miss Harrison was from Cookley, near Kidderminster. She was 63 years old and first went to China for the Church Missionary society in 1896. Three years ago she re- luIuCd IOlHc IO llNC "ltIl IGl lllOlll- CT, but last year on her mothers death she volunteered to return to China and work with Miss Nettle- ton.
 Reverend W. W. Cash, the so- ciety's secretary, said that up to to- day hopes had been entertained for release of the two women and that today's messages announcing that they had been shot was a great shock.

 A small turbine installed by the scientist on Matanzas Bay made A. 900 revolutions per minute, deriving it's power from steam generated by submitting warm surface water to a vacuum.
 The steam, utilized to turn the turbine, was reduced again by con- densation to water. the process being used to maintain the vacuum necessary to generate the steam Cold water from the depths of the Gulf of Mexico was used for the condensation.

SWEDISH DRY.LAW
 INFERIOR ID U. 5. SeYerin Johnson Believes Ameri- can Method Has Advantages PROGRESS THERE IS SLOW
System of Temperance Education Not Making Rapid Advancement, Buell. Street May Says on Return From Long Visit to Homeland.


 The prohibition law in the United States is the best means of over coming the evils of excessive drink ing of intoxicating liquor in the opinion of Severin Johnson of 215 Buell. street. who has returned home after spending practically the en- tire summer at his home in Brantas, Westergottland, Sweden.
 MT. Johnson, an ardent believer in temperance, said today that he had an opportunity to study the Swedish system which is similar to that which some -prohibitionists are sponsoring in the United States. The liquor traffic is under govern ment control in Sweden and it is necessary to have a special license similar to the automobile operator'es license before 8 person can receive liquor, according to MT. Johnson.
 Every person is allowed two quarts of liquor a month and it is-neces- sary for all applying for certificates to appear before what is termed the temperance board and prove they are possessed of character, finances and reputation before being allowed the use of liquor.
 Education Slow
 MT. Johnson said the system used in the efforts to establish prohibi- tion in Sweden is through education but this is a slow method and at times it is discouraging. Many of the educated men are drinkers and the efforts on the part of temper

 To begin with, your correspondent observed startling bit of bad judgment on the part of Sparky Adams. who holds down what l have termed 'the hot corner" for the Cardinals. Mir. Adams, you know, does great deal of chatter ing, egad, and it seems to me to be not very we'll put, areomph!

Through Rest of Series With

 St. Louis, Oct. 3 LP) --' Several hundred faithful fans were on hand but little enthusiasm was displayed when the St. Louis Cardinals ar rived at Union Station shortly be- fore noon today in their special train from Philadelphia after losing the first two world series games to the Athletics.
 There were occasional cheers and some hand clapping, but both play CTS and spectators appeared deject- ed and had little to say. A fife and drum corps played while the play CTS entered taxicabs and left for their hotels.
 Crowds At Stations
 As the Athletics special train moved out of the east and into the west, however, crowds gathered at every station where brief stops were made, but there wa-s, no great dem- onstration. Most, of he players re- mained in their quarters on the train.
 At Harrisburg there were loud cries for Joe Boley. Pennsylvania knew him as John Aolinskg' of Ma honey City, long be- ore le was making hair-raising stops in a world series pinch and pulling off thrilling squeeze-plays. r

 S100,000 RANSOM ASKED
British Women Held Prisoners for Months While Negotiations Went on-Captors Previously Cut Of
 One of Woman's Fingers and Sent It With Demand for Money-Lon-
 don Church Heads Deeply Moved.

Peiping, China, Oct. 3 P)-Mes- sages reaching the British consul at Foochow today said that Miss Edith Nettleton and Miss Eleanor June Harrison, British missionaries who were captured last July by com munists at Chungan, northern Fun kien province, had been shot.
 Their execution followed failure of protracted negotiations for their release, in the course of which the bandits cut off one of Miss Nettle- tons fingers and sent it to British consular authorities as reminder of their threats of death if ransom money of s100,000 was not paid.
 Travelling at Time
 The two women, who were asso- ciated with the Church Missionary society, were travelling from Chun- gan to Kienningfu when they were captured.
 It was understood here that the British authorities would await all the details before taking any further action.
 Although the consul authorities are attempting the verify the dual killing there appears no reason to doubt truth of the report. Only last week a letter was received insisting that the women would be killed un- less the ransom money was forth coming.
