BASEBALL IS
NOW PLAKLB
NEW YORK, Nov. 12—Baseball as
she is spoke across the Pacific, while
'crude, conveys to America the fact
that the national game of the United
States is rapidly growing in popular
ity among the Australians.
A copy of the Sydney Argus, re
ceived in New York today, has half
a column of its space devoted to base
ball games, the details of several con
tests being included.
If one is to take the word of the
Argus’ writer for it, professional base
ball in America and the amateur
brand, ;o Australia are widely separ
ated. V
“The Collingswood-Hawthorn game
was a splendid fight for. live innings,”
the Argus reporter writes, arid con
tinues: “But Hawthorn's sixth
brought five runs and they won by
10 runs to 6. Martin, the Hawthorns’
pitcher, struck out 14 batters anil did
some good hitting.”
■ Speaking of another game, he says:
“Richmond turned the tables on South
Melbourne, and won by 23 runs to (i.
Anderson, the southern pitcher, in
sliding to third base, struck his. head
against the base, and the shaking af
fected his pitching. Brereton, who
had played a magnificent game at
shortstop, took up the attack, but
could not hold the Richmond batsmen,
who accounted for 23 base hits, to
which Eastman contributed four.”
They have a league in Australia,
for the Argus writer speaks of it in
recounting a game between the North
cotes and the Y. M. C. A. He com
pares this contest with a cricket
match. Forty-three hits were made
by one of the teams, folly-three runs
made, and thirty-six bases stolen.
The opposing team failed to get a
runner past second base, something
of a tribute to the advance of the
game.
“Williamstown hit up six runs in
their first inning,” the Argus expert
remarks of another contest. “The
M. C. C. pitcher held the seasiders
comparatively quiet thereafter, as he
struck out seven batsmen.”
The visit of the White Sox and
Giants to the far-off continent has had
its effect. Baseball is being given
more attention in Australia than in
any foriegn country, and recently a
letter was written to Garry Herrman,
president of the national baseball
commission in the United States, ask
ing interpretation of some of the
rules. Reports from the Antipodes say
efforts are being made to organize a
league of professional clubs.
IS WOMAN’S WORK IN WAR
AFFECTING MOTHERHOOD
LONDON, Nov. 12.—Is the great
part that woman is playing in the la
bor of the nation affecting mother
hood ?
The answer to this query, agitating
those interested in conservation of the
race, wdl be given as the lesult op a!
big investigation set on foot here to
day.
The investigation, which is author
ized by the government, is being con
ducted by the Women’s Industrial
Council. On account of the future ac
tivity of women workers after the
war, the probe is designed to point out
what trades, newly acquired by wo
men, are most injurious to mother
hood. Recommendations for benefi
cial legislation in favor of the future
of the race will then be made.
“Our chief object is to approach im
partially industrial occupations, both
old and new, to find out whether the
, muscular action or the strains and
i stresses involved in certain processes
] have an affect on future child bearing
| of ordinary women workers,” sabl
; Miss H. Taylor, head of the Industrial
| Council today.
Today’s investigation is only one f
. many which will be launched in favor
i of England’s future generations. ’
LA PLATA, Argentina, Nov. 4.—
(By Mail.)—Watching a movie here,
Guglielmo Anselmino, a prominent
citizen of La Plata, was so much over
come by the noble conduct of the he
roine and the embarassing situation
into which the film led her, that he
fainted away, fell out of his box and
broke his knee-cap.

That pay was not found on Notch
creek and Foley creek as reported is
made clear by the following state
ment received recently by mail i
from one of the supposed discoverers: j
“A brief account of the doings of j
the camp might interest you now, j
although we are passing through a!
period of inactivity, due principally j
through the lack of machinery to \
properly prospect the different
creeks, which are both deep, and wet.
Some of the best looking creeks in
the camp have feeders that carry
good pay. Wilson creek, for instance,
the second largest in the camp, has
not been bedrocked on account of
water, and it has three credks owing
into it that are good producers, Dig
Eldorado, Gold Run and Glacier
creeks.
“After this camp was struck in 1913
people rushed in and staked ground
everywhere, most of them did a Ittle
surface digging, just enough to hold!
the ground, while a few did under
take to prospect, but in nearly every
case where systematic prospecting
was carried on they were eventually
forced to quit on account of water. The
discoverers of the camp, by chance,
struck the only shallow diggings, and
as the best ground so far discovered
is above timber line, and frozen, you
can readily see that the prospector
without means has much to contend
with, as wood costs from $35 to $45
per cord landed.
“I expect to spend part of the win
ter over on Notch creek, and Foley
creek, where I have several interests.
and where that supposed rich strike
was made last spring. I worked there
during last March and April, along
with four other men. We found pros
pects at a depth of about 80 or 85
feet but nothing to justify such a re
port. We still have faith in the
creek and are willing to spend the
winter there, to try and reach bed
rock. We may probably reach bed
rock there some time in December,
provided we are equipped to handle
the water, which has been the only
drawback.”
Everything is a little better and
tastes better at the North Pole Bak
