COPS IN ANNUAL REVIEW
It was an army of blue that surged
Into the park from the left-field bleacher
gate at 1:30 o'clock for the annual re
view. Superintendent Robinson and his
staff, consisting of Captain Harry Davis,
Chief Surgeon Hubley R. Owen, Inspector
Henry Crofut and Chief Clerk Walter
Gilbert, headed the parade of mounted
men. Twelve hundred men filed In behind
the police band.
The first break for fun after the inspir
ing parade occurred whop a shivering
"bull." no longer able to endure Inactiv
ity, threw off his bathrobe and shot across
centre field, a white speck. Bobby Cal
houn, announcer superordlnary, came out
with his megaphone and the games began.
It was a toss up as to what was the
most exciting the fat man's race, the 100
yard dash or the jujutsu exhibition.
WINS FAT MAN'S RACE.
Matt Kernan, of the 31st district, who
weighed 2631 pounds on a hay scales
just before he entered the park, waddled
across the line a winner In the fat man's
race. He was going so fast he couldn't
stop, and butted into Director Dripp
box. The "boss" congratulated the win
der. "The time was two," shouted Bobby
Calhoun through the megaphone.
"Oh," gaBped the "fans." It was a
mistake, -however, as the time was only
11 seconds.
Samuel. II. Jones, of the Sth District,
won the "100-yard dash final. Motorcycle
Policeman John McGlade, who led the
field in the half mile, collapsed at the
finish and fell ncross the tine a good
fourth. The race was won by Harry
A. Fryckberg. of the reserves, as every
body expected.
Eleven-year-old Florence McLaughlin,
clad in a wool sweater, showed how a tiny
mite can protect herself by Americanized
jujutsu methods. Time and time again
sho wrenched knives and revolvers from
the hands of "thugs" who "attacked"
her and ended in throwing her burly as

light of the spectators.

FAMOUS CRICHETER
DEAD IN ENGLAND
Dr. William Gilbert Grace, Fa
mous World Over, Made
Great Record
Dr William Gilbert Grace, the "Grand
Old Man" of cricket, died In England
today. He was bom at Downend, Glou
cestershire, In 1813. At a very early age
Doctor Grace began his cricket educa
tion In the ear of 1S61.
"Will be ever red-lettered
On the scroll of cricket lore.
as the year in which he made his first
appearance at Lord's. He was a lad of
16 and It Is Interesting to note that his
first Innings on the famous ground of
the MarIcbone Cricket Club realized 60
runs. The following season he plaed In
both matches for the Gentleman agalnil
the Players, and In 1&G6 earned the title of
champion by plasing two wonderful not
out Innings of 224 and 173 at Kennlngton
Oval.
As a batsman Doctor Grace has never
been equaled, and probably never will be,
while such a fine, all-around plajcr as he
was at his hem will never be seen again.
From 1S71 to 1S73, ut a time when profes
sional bowling was very strong, he scored
217, 77 and 112. 117, 103. 15S nnd 70 In con
secutive innings, in August, 1876, he made
211, 177 and 318, not out. In succession,
within the short space of nine days.
In the succeeding J ears his cricket
showed no falling oft In skill until. In 1805,
he achieved a record that no other bats
man has been able to duplicate. In nine
completed innings in May he scored 1016
runs and completed his feat of scoring
100 centuries. Until a few years ago
Doctor Grace was still seen in first-class
cricket, but lately he had devoted his time
to golf and long bowls, and at both games
ho became proficient
To American cricketers Doctor Grace
i well known, as he waa a member of
the team -brought here by R. A. Fitz
gerald In 1872. Of a lovable disposition,
Grace was generous to a fault. He was
never known to take an unfair advan
tage of an opponent He always liked
to encourage young players, and when
bowling he was frequently known to send
down a few "easy ones" to inspire con
flderce in the heart of a tlmoroua oppo
nent. It was men like Grace who made
cricket such an enjoyable game to play,
and although he has been called to other
fields his name will endure as an inspi
ration to all young players as long as
the game is plaed.

raWI! WOMAN SHOT
LIKE MISS CAVELL BY
GERMAN FIRING SQUAD
Another Victim Reported Exe
cuted by Teutons in Belgium
as Co-Conspirator of
Dead Nurse
ALL ENGLAND AFLAME
LONDON, Oct. 13. The excitement and
resentment which swept through England
following the execution of Miss Cavell by
a German firing squad In Belgium was
Intensified today by the statement of the
Amsterdam correspondent of the Dally
Mall that another woman was recently
shot to death by German soldiers at
Liege.
The Dally Mall's correspondent wired as
follows:
"The Telcgraaf stales that the Ger
mans executed a French woman. Mile.
Louise Frenay, at Liege, a fortnight ago.
The firing party purposely aimed low and
she was hit only about the legs. The Ger
man officer then shot her through the
head with a revolver,"
Seldom have the people been aroused
to such a pitch. Miss Cavell, the British
nurse. Is called the modern Joan of Arc
Special services will be held In her mem
ory In churches tomorrow. Sir George
Frampton, the famoua sculptor, has
offered to model Miss Cavell as a national
memorial. Suggestions are pouring to
the press from every station of life as to
reprisals and memorials for the nurse.
It Is suggested, among other things, that
a "Cavell regiment" be raised.
The first German version of the execu
tion of the English woman has arrived
here, and it sets up the contention that
her execution was necessary as an "ex
ample." Herr Wprthelmmer. the Brussels cor
respondent of the semiofficial Wolff News
Agency, In a lengthy article upon ttie
Cavell case, declares that the woman
was In a plot to help men of military
age leave Belgium.
The Wolff version was received here
from Amsterdam, and says in part: ,
"Evidence was secured to show an or
ganized plot to enable men of military
age to leave Belgium, despite the orders
of the German military authorities to
the contrary. The leaders In this plan
were a Belgian nnd some French aristo
crats. The plot was promoted by 35 pris
oner, two-thirds of whom were women,
Including Princess Maria de Croix, the
Countess de Belleville and Miss Edith
Cavell.
' The headquarters of the conspirators
were In the English Women's Hospital.
"The evidence showed that a Belgian
architect, M. Baucq, was Miss Ca veil's
chief assistant, and the activities of these
people extended over many months.
"Hitherto tho couits dealt very mildly
with these offences, but this tlmo It was
advisable that greater severity be em
ployed as a warning to the B'lgians to
obey the orders of the Governor General.
Taking Instant advantage of the Im
petus given to army enlistments by Miss
Cavell's execution, recruiting officers were
pushing their campaign vigorously
throughout the British Isles today.
The Cavell casewas used openly as an
argument, as a means of stirring up feel
ing against Germans to a pitch where
men suitable for military service cannot
resist the Impulse to fight them.
Army officers declared no incident of
the war, not the Lusltanla Incident, nor
the Zeppelin raids, nor any appeal by the
King or his advisers had been of so much
htlp to them In bringing the material
they wanted with a rush to the colors.
By her death, they said. Miss Cavell had
seived her country as effectively as she
lid during her life.

control from the State and provincial
authorities who now have had charge
of It.
The announcement of the Imperial
Government, given out through the Over
seas News Agency, follows;
"The German Imperial Government In
tends to take Into its own hands the
prices and Bupply of foodstuffs for all
Germany, control of which up until the
present has been In the hands of the
State and provincial authorities. It is
norr considered necessary to equalise tho
poiitlqns of the various sections of the
empire so as to distribute prices and
victuals, which are abundant, more equi
tably. Under piesent conditions some
of the States and provinces hare less
food on hand than others,
"New regulations will be made In order
to avoid these differences and distribute
evenly all over Germany the foodstuffs In
order to provide for the winter. The Gov
ernment wishes to assure full supply at
reasonable prices. Conferences have been
commenced on the subject and a decision
Is expected nt onte."
