 New York, April 14-UP) - The thrill of baSeball's opening day and the pros poets of favorable weather lured nearly 100000 fans to the eight major league parks today for the satrt of the 1886 pennant races. It prom ised to be the major leagues most suspicious opening in a decade.
 With clear weather forecast in six of eight cities, the opening days attendance may more than double last years when 107.400 saw the inaugural games.
 Weather forecasts for each game follow:
 National League Brooklyn at New York, clear. Boston at Philadelphia, clear. Pittsburgh at Cincinnati, partly cloudy.
 Chicago at St. Louis, cloudy.
 American League New York at Washington, fair. Philadelphia at Boston, clear. Detroit at Cleveland, cloudy, showers.
 St. Louis at Chicago, clear.
 First Time Since 1881 If the weather mans predictions hold good, and there are no post- ponements it will be the first time since 1881 that all eight opening days games have been played on the day scheduled. In 1894 the eight opening games were played after rain had washed out the first game

New York, April IA - (U.P0 - Howard Thurston was one of the very few really great magicians of the world and acknowledged leader of American magicians. His great ness was due only in part to his ability at sleight-of of-hand, although he was considered one of the most skilled in that field.

lore say that the average lawyer
knows only 10000 of these propos-

carry them in their heads.
These new propositions are not
old ones being applied to new things
as they originate in our every day
life, but are new propositions APP

know where to find the propositions
that will exactly fit the facts and

Given Life Sentence in

Louisville, Ky.-Thomas II. Rob-

ed guilty of the Stoll kidnapping
and was sentenced to life imprison-
ment.
The twenty-nine-year-old former
inmate Of a Tennessee insane asy-
lum stolidly heard Federal Judge
Elwood Hamilton pronounce SEN
tence.
Robinson slugged Mrs. Alice
Speed Stoll, young Louisville sOci-
ETY. matron, with a lead pipe and
kidnapped her from her home here
October 10, 1884. For more than
10 months he eluded federal agents.
He spent most of his time travel
ing between New York and Cali
fornia, and federal agents said he
spent freely the $4,000 paid him
as ransom for Mrs. Stoll. He had
held her for a week in an apart
ment in Indianapolis.
He was caught in Glendale, Calf,
and whisked here in a government
chartered airplane. His sentence
came within less than 4S hours
after his capture. Judge Hamilton
directed that Robinson be sent to
Atlanta federal penitentiary with
the usual specification that he be
subject to transfer to any other
federal prison on order OF the
United States attorney general.

But Karpis also has committed a
few other crimes for which he
could be executed. For instance,
there was the murder Of a Missouri
