Will This Be Roger s Case It s sald, by scoffing critics, that Roger Bresnahan's case will probably. go through the same process as that undergone by the mar who bought a new and costly ncyclopedia, and start right away to read about the Ark. When he found ARK, t said See Deluge. Going to Vol. V. he found DELUGE see Flood, in Vol. VII. it said FLOOD see Noah. In Vol, XII. it said Noah see Ari, and the man gave tongue like a bloodhound. The scoffers hint that Roger's cake will be referred back to the St. Louis club, which will then refer it to the National Comission, which wil refer it to the next meeting of the league, which will refer it to oh, forget it Oth- ers think that Roger's troubles will be investigated and settled with- out further delay or trouble. f.

Detalls have just been brought to light showing that English bookmakers during the last racing Season haye been deprived of hundreds of thousands of dollars by an ingenious use of the telephone. The scheme adopted depended for its success on, the fact in the country places messages are received at shops and small business establishments, and are forwarded by telephone to the nearest post office. A few minutes before the time set for a race a man would enter onc of these shops and take possession of the telephone for a. trunk call, pay- ing for a quarter of an hour's con- versdfion or more, if necessar He would be followed by another. man Who would write out several tele- grams to various bookmakers back- ing horses and writing the name of a different horse on every form. Having got the messages stamped at tmes by the clerk showing they were filed Before the time set for the despatch. The mun in the telephone box waits there -untft he receives information from: a confederate as to the result of the raco ang leaving he commu: cates this by ign to the sender oj the tclegraphs, Who asks indignant awhy his messages have not been sent, soifyy sir, says the simple count girl, but the telephom has Group 1 Frontenacs of Kingston, demands th rett M of his forms, al- ready stamped it must be remember- ed. This ane GBM go. he adds, back the message on whic the name of the winner appears, he d stroyse the others. The very simplielty of the scheme made it successful until it was dis- covered by a. per who, sur- prised at the consigtent winnings of one of hie clients, led him to make fan investigation, It did tot entall making any corfection of the origin- al message and thee was no trace of irregularity. In ich case tho tele- gram with the name of the winning horse on it was received by the book- maker in Ue, some minutes before the race, and he filed it among his bets to. be paid ehtfrely unsuspicious of the fact that h fad been swindled. ROWDYISM At Baseball Gaines to Be , Overeome Suggestion of Players. z New York., Dec, 17 In an effort for the suppression of rowdyism on major league baseball fields, David L. Fults, pr sident of the baseball piayers fraternity, has sent a letter to the national commission. The let- ter was suggested iy conditions dev- eloped at the time of the strike of the Dettolt ball players last summer, which took place after Cobb was sus- pended for attacking a spectator in American League Park in this city. The letter suggests to the commis- sion suitable. signs to be posted in all patks, warning th public not to ad- dress abusive language to the play- ers. it also speaks for better poli ing of the park: by officers under the instructions of the umpires. Fultz also favors vesting the umpires with more authority and holding them re- sponsible as far-a8 would be practic able for the acts of all persons with- in major league parks. DE PALMA HAS LOTS UF NERVE Will Again Enter Big-Race on Indianapolis Speed- way. Indianapolis, Ind, Dec. 17. Raiph. DePalma, the intrepid Italian, has mot-dost heart. He will be an entrant in the next 500-mile race at the In- dianapolis Motor Speedway, May 30th. His almost winning of last year's 500-mile race at Indiunapolis, co 4p with his almost fatal accident xt Mi waukee, do not seem to have affected his determination to go Tight along fn the old beaten paths at the-same old terrific DePalma pace. The. press of two hemispheres up t the pits last May at Indianapo- lis and smilled as he saw a big purse melt in his hand. It's all in the game, was his only. comment. DePalma will be in the next big Indianapolis race. This time he hopes the goddess of-fate will forget her fickleness and giye the checkered flag to an Italian. Whether or not DePalma wins, it s * good clean sportsmanship bet that he Will rhake the time fast nough for anybody CARTY REFUSED TO KNOCK DOWN Perserverance Finally Put Him in Position to Show His Ability. Chicago, Dec. 16. Luther Mo- Carty s perseverance was his princi- pal asset as a boxer. when he first an- nounced his desire to become a prize fighter, according to a. story told by Bill O'Connell, a local trainer. The man who on Tuesday night van- guished Jim Flynn at Los Angeles was considered a pest by O'Con- nell and finally was told to stay away from the gymnasium. McCarty refused to do as he was told and fin- ally the doorkeeper was instructed to keep him out. Tn spits of everything I did to discourage him, said O'Connell, he persisted in coming around. Finally I tried to get him manager but no one cared to take a chance with him. count and found a manager himself. He was an apt pupil and rapidly de- veloped into a good boxer.

Tacoma, Dec. 1 Ginnjty, known in the baseball as the Iron man, is the new owner of the Tacoma Tigers. Yesterday afternoon he formally no- tifled Ed. Watkins, president of the Tacoma Club, that he was ready to extreise his option obtained in Mil- waukee, and only the formal accept- ance of the new director by the di- ing quitters before the day of the fight to sixe7yp the stranger and the young Mis- 4 by McCarney to box like After McCarty had given a woefl exhibition Nat Goodwin, the actor, would saunter in and with show of reluctance accept all wagers offered by Wolgast and Jones, So cleverly did the twenty-year-old siant play bis dub part that Wol- ast gave ont a statement before the fight to the effect that MeCarty did hot even know how to hold his hands, to say nothing of boxing and predict- ed an easy victory for the Pueblo fireman. WOMEN'S CAMPAIGN (Continued trom page one.) decided that the Ottoman delegation the Turkish government. Power to Make Peace. The credentials of the peace dele- gates of the Balkan allies and of Turkey, give them full power as pleni- potentiaries. They can therefore not only negotiate for peace, ,but if they come to'gn arrangement can conclude and sign it. This point was made clear when the delegates met in St, James Pal- ace this morning to,commence the serious business of the gathering. Dr. S- Dane, speaker of the Bul- rectors of the league-is-needed to make him a power, in the councils. of Northwestern League baseball. MeGinnity atted as soon as he ar rived. He went over the business end of the deal with President Watkins, and after visiting the City Hall to find how much the ball park would be shaved off to make a street exten- sion, announced that he was ready to finish the deal. Now only the for- mality of his acceptance by the league is necessary to make him'a full-fledged magnate. MeGinnity announced as soon as he assumed charge of the club that, there would be one thing upon which he would insist when he appears. at the meeting of the league directors, which gathers here Devember 21. That will be a demand for an equal number of games for Tacoma om- pared with the other cities in the Feague. The schedule last year called for 116 games for Seattle and 58 for Tacoma, said McGinnity. That is giving the Seattle Club 10 per cent. advantage in the battle for the pen- nant, a factor which was borne, out in the 1912 race. I shall insist that Tacoma receive twelve weeks of base ball as well as Seattle or any other This may not prove financially successful for the first year, but I am here permanently, and I want to build up baseball in Tacoma. to whe; it was several years ago. I do ni say that I am going to win the pen- nant, but I do not. wanh tobe rob- bed of the 10 per cent. advantage which the home team gets at the very beginning of the race ENGLISH FOOTBALL DRAW London, Dec. 16.

Chicago, Dec. 17 Society women in Witious cities who are engaged in the ldu able work of selling large ing grand work for the housewife who ts worried at the cost of living and at.the same time, but quite unwillingly, they-are helping an am- bitious syndicate out of hole that was nothing short of disaster and general ruin. Beginning seven months ago the syndicate began buy- ing eggs in enormous. quantities and storing,them. They secured millions at low figures, as low as ten cents and nineteen cents a dozen wa the maximum, The time winter should have set in they had the storage houses packed to the limit. But win- ter did not arrive and the hens took a new lease of life and continued laying. That condition prevails at Present and the syndicate could see nothing but black despair. Conse- quently, it is said, some Napoleon in the syndicate conceived the idea of enlisting Women and houseliold lea- gueg in a plan to unload. They were told that if the middleman could be eliminated the consuiner could get eggs- much cheaper. In fact, they would be shown where they. could get all the eggs they wanted at 24 mensely nd these. sales. are now proceeding in the eastern cities and will begin in Chicago Friday. Had the speculators. undertaken to unload a hundred cars of eggs at one swoop, the prices would hive gone to smash. Women in various places. can make these sales without exciting suspl- clon. The syndicate has several hundred carloads which they can dis- pose of at the pric of 21 1-2 cents per dozen for eggs that cost much less than one cent each in April and make a fine profit without endanger- ing the market.
