The racquet coming through

SpLit-Week Series

LOS ANGELES, Calf, Aug. 10.
Adoption Of split-weeks series in
stead of the weekly seven-game
series looms for the 1892 Pacific
Coast League season. Victor
Devincenzi, secretary of the Oak
land club, declared that Herb Nc
Farlin, schedule maker for the
league, was prepared to submit
program for the 1882 season
which would schedule each team
playing two different teams

DEPRESSION
FAILS To HIT
BOX OFFICE
BY BABE RUTH

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 19.-Now and
then we are told that baseball is
losing its appeal, that it no
longer enjoys the standing 1t
once had among sport followers.
We are informed that the auto
mobile and golf furnish one part
of the answer. and that the
growing interest in football is
another part. They speak of the
good old days when the ball game
was the thing in sport.
I don't feel qualified to discuss
the good old days, as it was as
late as 1915 when began to see
much of big league baseball.
Somebody might arise to ask me
what know about the old days.
and I would have to say that I
don't know much about them. At
the same time ! think I have
played through the most pros
porous period Of baseball and I
am quite willing to argue, that
baseball isn't losing much of its
appeal, if any.
Record Gatherings
AS q matter Of fact, some re-
cent crowds in baseball have
struck me as the greatest tribute
that the game has known. Here
we are going through a period of
depression, which is effecting
every business and Furthermore
the pennaht races in both
leagues may be said to be about
over, as far as the winners are
concerned, Either one of these
things would be plausible
answer for poor attendance in
baseball and yet the latter part
Of July and the early days of
August. saw some near record
gatherings.
The Yankees recently played
seven games in Boston in five
days. The Red SOx are down in
the second division and not
rated as first division pOssibil-
ity.
In one double.headed at Braves
Field the attendance ran beyond
100000 which was the greatest in
American League history in Bos-
ton, outside of one world series.
Never during the regular pennant
season did Red Sox team play
to such gathering at home, and
Boston has figured in some stir
ring pennant fights, too.
Weekday Mark
A few days later we played an
other dauble-header, this one at
Fenway Park. and it drew close
to 10000 persons on Wednesday,
this setting a seasons record for
a weekday game at the home of
the Red Sox.
Despite the lead that the Cardi-
nails have built up in the National
League. there have been some re-
n1arkable turnouts recently in Chi,
cago, Brooklyn and Boston, and l
believe the Giants will be greatly
surprised by the attendances at
the Polo Grounds during this
home stand.
Our recent three.day series at
home with the Athletics was
really remarkable for the crowds
which turned out. inaSmuch as
we are too far back to be a seri.

POISON TRIAL JURY
TOLD OF INSURANCE
Husband of Woman Accused
in ChiIdren's Deaths
Bares New Policies.

BY the Associated Press.
LEBANON, Ind, October John
W. Simmons was questioned today at
the trial of his wife, Mrs. Carrie Bar
rett Simmons, charged with poisoning
her two daughters, concerning insur-
ance policies taken out. by members of
his family.
The Hancock County farmer said he
and his wife a few weeks before the
deaths Of the daughters, Alice Jean and
Virginia. had taken out policies for
SIS 1000 each, with their children named
as beneficiarieS. Simmons said his two
sons. Dale and George, also had taken
out policies for $4,000 each. with their
parents named as beneticiaries.
Family Agrees to Testify.
The questions concerning insurance
were put to Simmons by Roy w. Adney,
assistant prosecuting attorney, as he
continued direct examination of Sim
mons, who was called by the State yes
terday as its first witness.
The calling OF Simmons as State
witness was a surprise move and was
made possible by the Simmons family
agreeing to take the stand to reveal all
they know concerning the poisoning of
the two girls.
Tells of Fatal Reunion Picnic.
Direct examination OF Simmons was
concluded by hdney and he was turned
over to Willet Parr, defense counsel, for
cross examination Parr had Simmons
repeat his version of preparations in
the Simmons home, near Greenfield, for
the family reunion picnic here last
June at which the Simmons girls were
poisoned.
The State charges the children's
mother with placing poison in sand
witches which were served at the picnic.
Charges Previous Poisoning.
After a jury was completed yester-
day, Prosecutor Ben M. ScifreS, in his
opening statement, declared it would
be shown that Mrs. Simmons had ad-
ministered poison to her two daughters
two weeks before they finally died dur
ing picnic here after eating sand
witches in which capsules containing
poison had been inserted. The prose-
cutors statement was the first intima-
ton of any previous attempt to poison
the children.
Charles L. Tindall, Greenfield, Ind,
attorney, indicated the defense will
seek to bring out other theories than
that advanced by the State as to how
the Simmons girls were poisoned.
The trial began last Monday. Judge
John W. Hornaday announced no Ses-
sion will be held tomorrow.

The Pulitzers, he said, would have to determine, upon their own responsibility what offer they should accept. Foley manifested spirit of pro- tection for the Pulitzer grandchil- dren and other beneficiaries of the Pulitzer will. He applid chiefly the right of equity-which, in lay mans language, meant the applica- tion of the general principles of right and justice.
 He sought to roll back the years and peer into the mind of the elder Pulitzer.
 The dominant purpose of MT Pulitzer" he said, must have been the maintenance of fair income for his children and the ultimate recep- |tion of the unimpaired corpus by the remaindermen. Permanence of the trust and ultimate enjoyment by his grandchildrn was intended. A man of his sagacity and business ability could not have intended that from mere vanity, the publication of the newspapers, with which his name
 
 should be persisted in until the en- tire trust asset was destroyed or wrecked by bankruptcy or dissolu- tion. His expectation was that his New York newspapers would four ish. Despite his optimism, he must have contemplated, that they might become entirely unprofitable and their disposal would be required to avert a complete loss of the trust asset
 The judge cited precedents that courts should be guided "by the policy of protection of the trust funds rather than blind obedience by the trustee to the language used by the testator."
 His ruling became necessary since the Pulitzer will contained provi- sion that specified that "my sons and descendants shall continue publica- tion of the papers and not attempt to dispose of the newspaper prop critics
