As the squad develops. It appears that the five men who will probably start the Winchester game, and with whom, Coach Mullins has been devoting most of his time, are Van Allen and Gardner, forwards, Simmons, captain and center, Shelton and Cramer, guards. These men have shown the

best playing in the workouts so far this season, and with Robinson, Harding and Stegman, were recently chosen

for the varsity squad.

Signal practice has been taking up most of the practices of the team and

Coach Mullins is perfecting some baf-

fling floor passes for his men in their

games this season. Workouts will be held on -WedneS'

day and Friday, of this week, and on

Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of

UNIONTOWN, Pa Oct. SO. Eddie Hearne, driving a Duesenberg, yesterday won the Autumn classic over a f eld of twenty-five of the country's best known auto drivers. - The distance was -168 miles. - Hearne's time was 1:49:02.85. .- ... :. , Tommy Milton, driving a Hudson was .second in 1:49:27.45. Tom Dever, driving a Frontenac, was third In 1:64:37.05, and Dave Le wis, in a Hudeon, was fourth in 1:55:24.02. Gaston Chevrolet, driving a Frontenac, crashed into the pit on the thirtyseventh lap. Though Chevrolet and his mechanician both were slightly injured they, were pluckily able to resume their drive. Two other accidents marred the race. Milton had a narrow, escape when a tire blew out on the one hundred and . forty-6eventh lap. This probably cost Milton the race, as he was leading the field by a good stretch at the time. On the one hundred and twelfth lap Peter Henderson, driving a Duesenberg, blew a tire on Death curve. He crashed into the lower rail, but escaped with a few bruises.

DILLON'S PRESTIGE WANES To all appearances Jack Dillon, the "Hoosier Bearcat," "Giant Killer," et al., has about reached the end of his string. A year ago Dillon was the ring sensation of the day. After he had flattened Charley Weinert and the giant Tom Cowler and made a punching bag of Frank Moran, Dillon was looked upon as the leading heavyweight contender and there were not a few good judges who thought he might bring down Jess Willard if he got the chance to meet him in the ring. But of late Dillon has gone far back. Last spring he barely held his own in a, bout with Al McCoy and later he was the easiest kind of a mark for Mike Gibbons. Since then he has shown little of his old ability and it will be no surprise to bear that some second rater has put him down for the count.

Asia Minor Puzzle. "Asia Minor" is a geographical term of vague extension. It puzzles anyone to say exactly where it leaves off. The name dates only from the fifth century. A. D., when Orosius used it evidently as a novelty. The Roman empire knew no Asia Minor. Indeed, the Roman province of "Asia" was actually smaller than this Lesser Asia. The alternative name Anatolia (land of the sunrise or east), which has found favor with the Turks, is equally indeterminate.

An Indianapolis baseball writer, commenting on the gossip that Jack Hendricks will be found managing a major league . team next year, says Hendricks has a two-year contract to remain in Indianapolis and is not like-

lv to throw down Jim McGill at a time! hen there is a chance for u new and

tetter Class AA league in &ight. Maybe so, but ' Hendricks would be the making of any one of several major league clubs now burdened with drawbacks la the way of incompetent managers

EASY FOR FITZSIMMON3 One of the easiest marks that Bob Fitzslmmons ever knocked out was Jack Hickey; who took a nap In a Newark ring back in 1893. Hickey bobbed up here one day, declaring that he had just arrived from Ireland, where he had won the middleweight championship. He was widely advertised when he challenged the Cornlshman. Captain GIorL who was Fitz's manager readily made the match and the bout drew a crowded house. Fits made the fans hold their sides while he turned hlB back and run away from Hickey for two rounds. But. when the third round started Fitz side-stepped a wild rush and drove his powerful left into the Irishman's breadbasket. Hickey sank, to the floor, unconscious, and when he was revived twenty minutes later, with the house empty, he turned to his disgusted handler and exclaimed: "Who told yea to throw up der spinge?"

PROVIDENCE. R- I . Oct. 30. Edward G. Barrow, president of the International league, who has been nominated to succeed Ban. Johnson, American league head,' should the latter go to war as he threatens, is pretty generally regarded as the most capable baseball man In the minor leagues. Should Barrow take Johnson place there will be a roar of protest from all associated with the International league, who believe that the league, and in fact all minor league, will suffer greatly in BarroWs absence. Barrow Is a base ball man from his head to his heels. When he was a youngster at the game he picked up such stars as Hans Wagner. Fred Clarke and Chic Fraser. There's only one Wagner, just remember, precious few Clarkes and Chick Frasers do not grow on bushes. Barrow has been a success as a league president, has managed a number of minor league teams and also piloted the Montreal and Toronto teams of the International league. In those days Pat Powers was president When in 1911 Barrow was put at the head of the circuit his first official act was to change the name of the league from the Eastern to the International. Sport writers kicked like steers at the new name because it Is so hard to squeeze into a column-top head, but finally submitted meekly to the inevitable. Now everybody agrees

that the International is what it always should have been, not only be

cause of the size of the league, but

league leader into a compromise with organized baseball. Barrow has done more than bolster up the weak posts In his circuit by adroit shifts of cities or by interesting

new capital. It has been bis persistent and courageous fights that have won sweeping reform from tie major leagues in the way of draft and sale concessions. Last year Barrow waged a fight for the abolition of the draft

from Class AA clubs and might have

won had not the American Association and the Pacific Coast league quit cold

the International magnates would regret the loss of such a fighting chief.

A revised chart of New York harbor, on a scale of 1-40,000, has been issued by the United States coast and geodetic survey. The labor involved in bringing such a chart to date is illustrated by the fact that in one year there have been for this chart 253 different items of change, which required 233 working days to compile and engrage. Marked changes in the contour of the bottom,' disclosed by recent surveys, are shown at the entrance between Sandy Hook and Coney island.

Girl is Uninjured When Fast Train Passes Over Her

SHELBYVTLLE, Ind., Oct 30. A fast train which passed over a two-year-old girl, while she slept in the middle of the railroad tracks failed to awaken her. The train was running about sixty miles an hour and the engineer did not notice the child until only a few feet away. Brakes were applied and the trainmen ran back and picked up little Annie Kosh fully dressed and sound asleep, lying face downward upon the ties. The child had to be awakened and immediately started crying. Not a scratch was found on her.

Providence fans are awakening to

the fact that in the pending baseball changes they may lose their franchise in Class AA league and have nothing better than Class A, possibly Class B, as their portion.

Mme. Markova, who is described as a young Russian with big, black eyes and a personality, has joined the Fox forces. She is" only twenty-one and has been in America but a few months. Mme. Markova's father was a music I teacher of Libau ; her mother was gypsy-born. From her father she has inherited a love of music; from her mother, the restlessness that is of all nomadic peoples; from both, the heritage of temperament. Mme. Markova came to the United States . from Petrograd, whither she had gone to continue her musical studies, when the first signs of coming revolution manifested themselves. She escaped from turmoil on an ammunition ship, determined to try her fortunes in a more settled land. CUNEO IS DRAFTED Now it Is Lester Cuneo who has been drafted. Of late, Cuneo has been playing heavy roles in support of Harold Lockwood. Recently he was notified to prepare for twenty-four hours notice, and left at once for his home in Chicago.

The defense claimed that it had arranged to transfer Campbell's contract to either the St. Louis or Cincinnati National league club, but he reVsed to accept such service and held that such refusal relieved the obligations entered into under the contract The court held, however, that Campbell had a right to look to the Newark Feds for his pay and awarded htm his verdict ' Veteran baseball writers "covering" the world's series formed a new organization during the series.
