Statistics of the Five Games. j AlLcTldaliCc 1*™. Receipts $173,979.50 Players' share 87,857.70 Each club's share 68,720.85 National commission's share 17.397.95 Chicago.--The 1910 baseball pen­ nant was won by the Philadelphia American league team, the men from the Quakpr city defeating the Chicago Nationals four out of flv« games. At the deciding content on Sunday one of the largest crowds that ever attended a ball game in Chicago-- 27,374--was present, and up to the eighth gave one of the rarest exhibi­ tions of 'rooting" ever witnessed in this city. When Chicago scored in the second inning the "fans" went wild and when the Quaker City men took the lead in the fifth the crowd begged and pleaded with their favor­ ites to 'come back" and win out. But, after the fatal eighth, when Philadel­ phia scored five runs, they sat back in their seats and watched silently the work of the youthful machine tri­ umph over the veterans whom they had regarded as unbeatable. Brown and Coombs, the latter the iron man of the series, fought a great pitchers* battle for seven Innings and Brown then blew. In the eighth the entire Athletic team went to bat and hammered Brown hard. Four hits, two of them doubles, a wild throw by Zimmerman and a wild pitch by the three-fingered twirler, sent five Ath­ letic playere over the plate and blasted the hopes of the Cub follow­ ers. Collins, the second baseman of the Phlladelphias. was the star of the game. He drove out two doubles and a single, and, when the battle was won, stole third, that he might display his speed. In fact, Collins was a large factor In every contest between the two teams. His hitting, fielding and base running was of the most bril­ liant character. Score. R. H. K.

Qreat Devastation Wrought by the Re­ cent West Indian Hurricane le Now Being Revealed. New York.--The destructiveness and the devastation wrought by the West Indian hurricane along the Flor­ ida coast, south of St. Augustine, is being revealed as wire communication is slowly restored. Dispatches from Tampa, and Key West received by roundabout routes give a long list of vessels wrecked and lives lost. Most thrilling of all' is the report telling of the grounding of the French transatlantic steamship Louisiane, with 647 passengers, on Sombrero Reef, fifty miles east of Key West Fortunately, however, all hands are reported safe. The vessel lies in eight feet of water and cannot be floated until most of her cargo has been jet­ tisoned. Three of the crew of the schooner Harry I. Haywood of Boston were drowned when that vessel went on the reefs at Boca Ratone. The schooner Edward T. 8totes- bury of New York is also reported wrecked on a reef. 8enator Cummins, Governor Carroll and Others Pay Last Tribute to Memory of Dead Statesman. Fort Dodge, la.--The funeral of the late Senator Jonathan P. Dolliver took place here while the rain fell In top rents. Burial was in Oakdale ceme­ tery. . The drizzling rain, driven by a raw, cold wind, compelled the family tc abandon the original plan of holding the services on the lawn of the Dolli­ ver home. The funeral, therefore, wai held in the Fifty-sixth regiment arm ory, which accommodates 6,000. Contrary elements could not keep away the devoted friends of Senator Dolliver, however, who crowded every available space in the big building. Standing outside the building, strain­ ing to catch a word of the eulogies be­ ing pronounced upon the departed statesman, were almost 3,000 people. They crowded around the building until finally Senator Clapp of Minneso­ ta left the services inside and went outside, making a short speech to them. On the stage of the armory were seated the clergy, the United States senators and congressmen, the com­ mittee from the two houses of the Iowa general assembly, all state offi­ cers and other speakers. The space in front of the stage was a perfect maas of flowers. Particular­ ly noticeable was the huge wreath sent by the United States senate. Preceding the speeches at the arm­ ory the regulation Methodist Episcopal burial services were held. Follpwing the ritualistic services of the church, eulogies were delivered by the following men: Rev. Charles M. Stuart, Chicago; Governor Carroll, on behalf of the people of Iowa; Senator Cummins, as representative of the Uni­ ted States senate; Bishop William Fra- ser McDowell of Chicago, "A Fallen Leader."

Crippen, in reply to the usual ques­ tions of Lord Alverstone if he had anything to say why sentence of death Dr. H. H. Crippen. should not be passed upon him, re­ plied in a low voice: "I still protest my innocence." When the judge pronounced the death sentence, Crippen listened un­ moved so far as outward appearances showed. After the doctor was sentenced the foreman of the jury handed to the lord chief justice a note, after look­ ing at which the Justice said: "That shall be forwarded to the proper quarter." The "proper quarter" might mean the home secretary, who has jurisdic­ tion in such matters. The jurors re­ fused to discuss the Incident.

Chicago. -- Federal secret serv­ ice detectives swooped down up­ on a conference of alleged counter­ feiters after their motor car had been stopped by the police three times for fast running. The three arrests that followed punctured a scheme of which the Nicaraguan government was the in­ tended victim, it is said, to the ex­ tent of $200,000. The men under ar­ rest are H. N. Sec rest, who had claimed to be a representative of the Nicaraguan government and gave his address as Tampico, Mexico; George B. Williams, president of the George B. Williams Printing company, and Richard J. Trumbull, secretary of the Western Engraving and Colortype company, and manager of the Guar­ antee Engraving company. The men were arrested for counter­ feiting 150,000 notes of the 1910 6 pesos variety issued by the Nicara­ guan government. The raid of the Williams printing plant was the re­ sult of a careful surveillance of Se- crest by secret service agents for sev­ eral months. Secrest, who has lived in Panama and Nicaragua for the last ten years, is said to have arrived in Chicago, about three weeks ago and to have opened up negotiations with Williams for the printing of the coun­ terfeit notes. His visit to Chicago was said to have been made after he had tried without success to get the big mass of counterfeit notes printed in Los An­ geles, Denver and Cleveland. It waa his operations in Cleveland that gave the government agents the first defi­ nite clews of .his intended operations.

Moore was condemned to pay the death penalty by electrocution at Richmond on November 25, he having been convicted of murdering Frank Howl, in Nelson county last May. Many of the mountaineer friends of the condemned man believed him in­ nocent of the crime. At the October term Mrs. Roye Howl, widow of the murdered man, indicted as an accomplice, was ac­ quitted. Public sentiment was strong against the pair, but upon her dis­ charge there was a change favorable to Moore. Ten Hurt In Building Collapse.

"What, If I may ask, is the greatest change that has come to your notice?" "The greatest change, it seems to me, is to be found in the fact that the vice-president of the United States succeeds in getting his name in the papers nearly as often as he might it he were a baseball player or a prom­ ising lightweight prizefighter." A Logical Landlord. Many a tenant will sympathize with the man in this story, from the Phila­ delphia Record. He was renting a small house which the landlord had refused to repair. One day the owner came to see him. "Jones," he said, T shall have to raise your rent." "What for?" asked Jones, anxioualy. "Have taxes gone up?" ' "No," the landlord answered, "but I see you've painted the house and put in a new range and bathtub. That, of course, makes it worth more rent" Now He Knows. "On what grounds does your father object to me?" he asked. "On any grounds within a mile of our house," she answered.
