Athletics May Have Shade on the Giants in Stronger Staff of Catchers

[image]

In Cftmparisoii rf th defensive ftrengtli of the Giants and Athletics the consensus of opinion seems to be that the clubs are evenly matched as a whole ttie phade oinp to the Giants because of the n jpn rently better- condition of their pitching staff for the 'ruellin liattles in prospect. Some claim, however, that if the crack Philadelphia catchers are working ri!it th-y will mre than offset the it( him? weakness by their ability to Mop ambitious base-runners.

V. W. Schneider saw a wild prairie chicken a thort time a.o. At least he things It was a prairie chicken, lie wi.s about 10 climb a fence after some hazel nuts our Carlisle way when a bier bird Hew up with a peculiar drumm'n of its wlns and alighted where he had a pretty good look at it. "I had m-wr s.-rn a prairie chicken before." says Schneider, "but this bird was altogether too laro for a (I'.iail and not lar-e enough for a barnyard hen. aad it didn't look like any other wild fowl I Knew so I Just concluded that it must be a prairie thicken". Now perhaps with our game laws becoming more stringent with each successive season we may see t hereturn of other game as well such as the cinnamon bear, and the dik-dik and Grant's gazelle and the unhorn. and al! manner of beasts that have disappeared from the parts for some time since.

Remembering: the fact that no short series has ever been won by ba?e running, however good, the above trio of strong-arm Athletics will have something to say about the Giants runningwild. In the American league this year with Its Milan, Cobb, Jackson, Chapman, Moriarty and other epeedtfs these three men have permitted but 1.2 4 larcenies per game, which Is scarcely enough to win a ball game.

CITIZENS Leslie Sailors attended the C. A. anniversary reception last night and didn't attempt to dance the Jango once. Harry Elliott took a. great deal of interest in the exhibits of farm produce at the exposition last week, and always seeking enlightenment, took every opportunity to learn something about the various things on display. Over on Michigan st. he chanced upon two old codgers inspecting a grizzled, foreign looking shrub, and they were arguing and shaking fingers at each other vehemently with, "Taint,- either!" "I say 'tis, too!" "Now, lookee here, Lem, I gue?3 I oughta know I've seed them lots of times before!" Harry was all attention at once, because the object of discussion might be a new Importation from tsouth Africa, or possibly one of Wiz Burbank's latest productions, so he asked one, of the men what it might be, and the latter replied, "Why, it's) peanuts!" Dr. Ash did not see the Fall Exposition. Dr. Ash was very sorry that he missed it. Hut Ur. Ash, it seems, had fair enough entertainment at the time to temper his regret somewhat. For one thing he had the honor of walking down stairs with Pres. Wilson. It was in Keith's theater, Washington, anil he doesn't say that he walked down hand In hand with Wilson, exactly, but just the same, he walked down near enough to him to g"t a good look. Perhaps he would have gone down hand in hand had not two ferret-eyed secret service men been there to se that no one did go hand in hand with Wilson. One walked on each side of him one a little in advance, and the other just a step behind, which made it inconvenient for any one to become unduly familiar with the. president. However, "having walked down the stairs with Wilson. Dr. Ash is wry much of a celebrity, and It is no longer meet for any of us to address him just plain "Doc" as we have in the past. It is better that we use the full title. And then again. Dr. Ash went to Atlantic City, a place famous for its split eels, cracked crabs and slit skirts. While in New Jersey Dr. Ash hail one eye closed by a mosquito. As It

In 68 games 81 bases were stolen on Lapp; In 61 games Schang let 57 men get away; in 20 games 23 larcenies were committed on Thomas. Only four times has a team stolen more than four bases In one game cn the Athletics' catchers, and In each case the pitcher was a youngster. The greatest number of men thrown out in one game on Mack's catchers Is four, Schang turning back thla number of Naps June 16. In a double-header Schang threw out six Yankees. The catchers hava thrown out 135 would-be stealers and have permitted 161 larcenies. This is the catching the Giants will be up against and with the veterans. Plank and .Bender, both noted for making runners stick close to the bases, doing most of the work," It Is hard to see how the Giants will run wild. Dr. Ash is pretty well put up himself you can imagine the perfect development of a mosquito that could get such an advantage over him as that. J. Koontz's boy went out after squirrels and came back with a hot box. Geo. Hawkins bagged a coot and a teal duck at Hudson lako last week. Dr. Garrison has raised hi9 swatting average.

Kubelik's Five Daughters Must Have Professions

nv maiwjaiict Tonix. There may be two opinions as to Jan Kubelik the violinist. Some may think him technically perfect but without envotlon-al lire. Others may think his music the pinnacle of exquisite, finished art. But there can bono two opinions of Kubelik, the devoted father, as he reJ vealed himself to me in an interview Tuesday morning. In that role he Is perfect. And Kubelik's children are all girls, which makes his devotion so much more charming and so unique. First there are the twins, Mary and Anna, Just eight years old. Then there are Hannah, Clara, and the, baby, Datjanna. Kubelik is pleasant and genial, with an even temper and a philosophical turn of mind. He has a. disposition to ignore established Ideas of things and set his own values. Then he has theories. All these things explain why ho can rard live daughters as a blessing instead of a cross. "dirks are funny creatures." said Kubelik with a laugh, "very amusing, very. They are never twice alike." He has evidently found his daughters an interesting study. "Do you know," said he as an afterthought, "I have never even wanted a boy. never thought of one at all." Five daughters have set Kubelik to thinking about many things. He says he ha tried to look at the world from the woman's side of it. Hence comes his theories, and they are very advanced. Uc Is n Feminist. "I am an out and out feminist," Kubelik declared. Fach of his girls is to have a profession. "It is necessary," Kubelik said, "to make a woman's life what you call it? significant." "I have watched my girls at their play." -Kubelik went on. "Each one wants to be something, a doctor, a teacher, an artist, a housewife. Why shall they not be? I am going to cultivate that ambition, not repress it." Kubelik is going to see to it that his daughters are not dependent upon husbands for their happiness. "It is wrong," said he, "that a man TWO COUNTIES II FIGHT FOR RIGHT TO HOLO SPENCER Confessed Rexroat Murderer in Dispute Police Think He Imagined Many of the Crimes He Confessed To. CHICAGO, Oct. .7 -A legal battle for the possession of Henry Spencer, slayer of Mrs. Mildred Allison-Rex-roat, the Chicago tango teacher and confessed slayer of 24 other persons, was started Tuesday by ofiicers of DuPage county where the Rexroat murder was committed. w rians wtre started for a hasty trial of the self confessed multi-murderer. Papers issued by the DuPage grand Jury were brought to Chicago. Tho Chicago detectives holding Bpencer refused to permit the service of the papers declaring that he was their prisoner, and that he had confessed enough crimes in Chicago, murders and robberies, to warrant his being held for trial here. Spencer spent a sleepless, feverish night and Tuesday paced ( his cell trembling with weakness due to the wearing off of the effects of his last opium orgy. He smoked innumerable cigars, struggling to quiet the nerves of a system clamoring for the soothing poppy vapors. He made a brave but unsuccessful effort to conceal his condition when he learned that he was to be given another third degree examination Tuesday, tho fourth since his arrest. Of the murders Spencer has confessed to, the police believe they will be abla to fix upon him only one murder or possibly two. Captain Halpin, chief of the detective bureau, announced his conviction that Spencer, in giving his ioiig. ircumstantial confession of fiendish crime, was a consummate falsifier. Four of the murders he says he committed were perpetrated while Spencer was in the Illinois state penitentiary at Joliet. Of twelve of the alleged murdtrs the polico in this and other cities have no record. In one case described by Spencer police records show that a body was recovered, but the detectives have as yet established no connection between Spencer and the crime. "Except for possibly two murders, Spencer's weird story of killing people by hammering in their skulls and sinking their bodies in lakes seem pure fabrication," said Captain Halpin tonight. "His imagination, stimulated by drues, poured out one of the mott fantastic tales of murder that has ever come from a man whoso mind is given to dreams of crime." May Have Killed Others. Captain Halpin declared Monday night that he has complete proof that Spencer murdered Mrs. Itexroat and Is almot equally confident that he murdered Mrs .Annabel Wight. Mrs. Wight's house was robbed Dec. 4, 1912, and she was beaten so badly that she died in the county hospital July 13 Vjl-l. The body of Ida Oliver, recovered from the drainage canal May 29, 1912,! may correspond to the foreign woman, whom Spencer said he lured along the canal and killed after roboing her. Spencer was In the penitentiary when Policeman Pennell and Devine were killed Aug. 11, 1&-02. He was also in prison in 19 OS when Fanny Thompson was killed and when Emmet McCherney was killed in Sept.. 1911. McChesney was slain In tho rear of 2600 State street and the murder was at first thought to correspond to the man who S'uencer said he killed under the South side elevated structure. ' Denials were received today from polio authorities in other cities mentioned by Spencer that many of the boasted crimes were committed. -Identified a Murderer. Complete identification of Spencer as the murderer of Mrs. Rexroat came from several sources Monday, while at least two sections of Ins confession, referring to tho holdups and robberies

shall make a woman't? fate. That is how It is now." To remedy the condition Kubelik would make women independent of tnen and more self-sufficient. His daughters- are to profit by his theories. "If they marry, all right." said he. "If they don't, that is all right, too." Kubelik explained his theory of the feminist movement. "It Is tho brute in man that makes women feminists." he told me. "The brute tn man has paid to women, 'You shall be number second. I shall be number first.' And that settled it." Put not for always, Kubelik thinks. Fome women are risin;r up against the ruling. They are the feminists. Some men, thoso in Whom the brute has been tamed, are joining with them. They are feminists, too. It is time for a new order of things. Where the brute in man is most obdurate, there the feminists go to most violent lengths, he thinks. "Rut you have no need to be feminists in America at all." said he. "Things are 'far different in the oldr countries." Mut Bo Democratic. Kubelik wants his daughters to he wlf-sulilcient. and he also wants them to be democrats. "I tell my children," said Kubelik. "they shall never think of themselves as rich. They shall always think of themselves as poor. I do not want them to rely on money. I want them to rely on themselves." "He is sure that children brought up to rely on money Trill come to disaster. "If I had a hundred million dollars." said Kubelik. "and a son. I wouldn't give him one cent of it." Not that he would want to be stingy either, it simply wouldn't be good for the boy. "I'd want him to know." said Kubelik, "that it is not what you have but what you are that counts." But Kubelik doesn't give much time figuring on the rearing of sons. He has no time, for hypothetical cases. Tho rearing of his daughters is an ever present problem. "Just think of me," said Kubelik. "It Is hard enough to find one good son-in-law, and I've got to find five."

were confirmed by visitors to the detective headquarters. C. A. Goodwin of Wheaton, 111.. identified Spegcer as the man who had ridden with Mrs .Rexroat on the seat behind him from Chicago to Wayne, 111., on the night Mrs. Rexroat was murdered. Spencer's voice was identified as the drawling voice that had had called Mrs. Johnstone, Mrs. Rcxroat's landlady and through her had made the engagement that had led the dancing teacher to her death. Captain Halpin said he probably would be able to prove that the death of Mrs. Wright was the work of Spencer, although there was a discrepancy of a month In the date mentioned by Spencer as the time he killed her and the police record of the attack on her. Frank Cissel, owner of a saloon and rooming house near the Illinois Central station, whose saloon Sfpcncer said he had robbed, confirmed that part of the confession today, as did Leo Basilupos, owner of a down town restaurant, who was held up and robbed by-Spencer. In describing his murder of Mrs. Rexroat, Spencer said ho met her last May a few days after she had been divorced from Allison. He said he lured her to Wavne where he killed her by telling her he had a dancing class for her to Instruct out there. Reports from Indianapolis, Fort Wayne and other cities In which registrations were held Monday, show that all the old parties are making every effort to bring their members Into line for election day In November. Unofficial preliminary report3 show that the registrations are large in all ca.es. Democrats, republicans, progressives and non-partisans all exerted every effort to secure a heavy registration. In Forty Wayne the registration will run to oer 8,000 voters, while that of Indianapolis will beb unusually large. RYAN SAYS SULZER SENT APPEAL TO MURPHY TO QUIT (CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAGE.) trust magnate, which was barred on Monday. Sen. Brown, leader of the senate minority, instituted the fight to have this testimony and any further testimony as to political deals Involving th erepublicans entered in the records, and was successful. The vote upon which the court reversed itself was 41 to 14. Immediately after the decision had been announced young Ryan was recalled to the stand. That Gov. Sulzer attempted to obtain the influence of U. S. Sen. Root and of Wm. Barnes to prevent his impeachment trial, was brought out Monday, although subsequently stricken out. Got $10,000 From Ryan. Allan A. Ryan, son of Thomas F. Ryan, a New York financier, gave this testimony. Ignatius V. McGlone, secretary of the elder Ryan testified that Sulzer received a $10,000 campaign contribution from the Ryans which was not reported in his campaign statement. "Tell your father I am the same old 'Bill' " young Mr. Ryan said the governor said to him over the telephone, in asking for the contribution. The witness said that just a week before the trial began he had seen Sulzer in the latter'3 office. "He asked me." testified the financier's son, slowly, "to go to Washington and see Sn. Root and request him to see Mr. Barnes, get him to endeavor to have the republican senators vote that the court had no right to try him." The testimony preceded the opening of the case for the defense Harvey D. Hinman. who compared Sulzer to the apostle Paul, whose friends, the attorney said, "did not attempt to impeach him because of what he had done before he was, one of them." The question was, he add d, whether Sulzer was impeached for corrupt conduct In office or "because of what he has refused to do since he took office." It was in the face of repeated objections by the defense, that Mr. Ryan told of his conversations with the governor. Judge Cullen withheld a i.nai ruling until after the testimony. Then he ordered the testimony stricken out. Sen. Brown, republican leader demanded a vote on the ruling, but the court was sustained by 32 to IS. Special meeting of South Bend lodge No. 294. F. & A.

LURES GIRL ART STUDENT TS LOT ID KILLS HE

Goes to Lonely Spot on Prairie in Response to Telephone Call For Nurse Not Heard From Again. CHICAGO. Oct. 6. Miss Ida O. Leegson, art student. who.e nude body was found or. the prairie west of here Sunday, was lured to her death by some man who telephoned to h r in response to her advertisement for a place as a nurse. This was the conclusion of the polico Monday night after more than 2 4 hours search, which resulted, tho police admit, in no trail which can direct them to the murderer. The thin silken fish line. found near the body and the bruised circle it hail left around Miss Leegson's neck, showed them the manner of her death. Her tattered clothes strewn for half a milo along the road approaching the prairie and the bruises on the body indicated that death had come only after she had made a hard struggle, but there was nothing found to show by whom Miss Leegson had been induced to visit the lonely spot on thi western outskirts of the city. Gave Up Position. After giving up her position as a school teacher in Maron City. Iowa. Sept. 29. Miss Leegson came to Chicago and engaged a room with Mrs. James I. Burnette, raying she was going to try to earn more money to continue her art studies. Saturday she inserted an advertisement in a paper asking for a place as a trained nurse. Saturday afternoon a telephone call came from a "Mr. Wilson," who. when told Miss Leegson was out, inquired closely after her personal appearance. An hour later he called again and asked her to go to a point on the west side to care for his wife. She left to answer the call and Was not heard from again by her friends. The street address given by "Mr. Wilson" proved to be a vacant lot on the prairie. A canvass of the houses in the vicinity of the prairie showed none named Wilson. Spent Nights In Study. The possibility that Miss Loegson was lured to her death by an organized band of "white slavers" while being investigated by the police, is not believed by them to offer a solution of the mystery. An investigation among the teachers at the University of Chicago and at the art institute indicated that the murdered woman had been known for her industry, that she had no men friends and that her nights had been spent In study. The police are searching for the black colored, high covered automobile described by William Salvage, a switchman on the Be4t line road who reported that he had seen such a car pass his crossing Saturday niht and that it had returned an hour or so later. Miss Ieegson's hand satchel was found Monday a block from where thu body lay. It had been slashed with a knife and its contents, except a pair of stockings and piece of soap removed. PENROD TELLS OF SIXTY YEARS BACK South Bend Man Celebrates CiOth An nivcrsary of Ills Arrival in This Vicinity. Sixty j-ears ag on Oct. 1, John Tenrod, 210 E. Broadway, with his father and five brothers and sisters came to Indiana from Ohio and found their way to the little village of South Bend which then boasted a population of 1,500 together with the little town of Lowell on the east" side of the river. The Penrod family settled first nin miles south of South Bend. Leaving the women at what" was then known as the Black Bear tavern on the Michigan road, the men went into the woods to locate a farm. They selected 1C0 acres of land, which was then dense woodland. For the six week weeks after their coming, while the men felled logs and built the rabin. the family were the guests of Ben Eager, whose name, as on of the pioneer settlers of the city, is familiar In South Bend. Thev moved into th cabin before it was chinked or daubed and traveled to Lakeville to get th boards to lay the Moor. Mr. Penrod tells of th wonderful timberland which then stretched clear up to Jefferson St.. and of how. the year after their settling on tlu farm, they bought a cow of ex-Sheriff U. C. Johnson, for which they uve him 100 saw-logs of walnut and p'd'lar. The same amount and kuality of lumber today would almost bn.v a farm. The woods were filbd with deer 'and waives and wild eat. The deer had to be chased from the wheat fields often times. Wild turkey, rabbits and squirrels also abounded. Mr. Penrod Is Cy years old. He served four years in the ar in Co.
