SLATER WILL NOT PERMIT OPERATION lines to Agree to Removal of Finger at Request of Insurance Company. Frank Slater of this city refused yesterday afternoon, at a hearing be- fore Compensation Commissioner George B. Chandler to agree to have the middle finger of his left hand am- putated at the request of the lawyers an¥l physicians of the Royal Indemnity jlcompany On October 21, 1914, Slater's hond was badly crushed at he New Britain Trap Rock company nd after several hearings he was ranted compensation. The company w objects to paying further compen- ation on the grounds that if the finger is amputated the other fingers ilt be restored and the company will hen have but to pay the lump sum or the loss of a finger, . In refusing, Slater said that his at- ending physician told him the opera- jon would be only an experiment at est on the part of the surgeons. At the time of his injury Slater was arning $35 per week. On March 29 t was shown that while Slater was ble to do some work he was able to arn but $15 and back compensation vagtpaid him. At later hearings doc- ors said that the first and third ngers on his hand were almost nor- al but the middle finger was stiff; ut by having it amputated power ould be restored to the others. The surance company agreed to pay the ost .of the operation and compensa- on$ until he recovered. In ruling on the case Commissioner handler said the two points at issue flether or not Slater can draw hore for partial incapacity than he n for the loss of his finger.and to hat extent the employe is obliged to bmit to an operation. The company has been given one eely to submit a brief as to why bmpensation should not be paid.

Boston, Oct. 12.—In all the fanfare and hurly-burly of the present world’'s series there are two men who have no part in the proceedings, two who stand alone, unnoticed now, out of the spotlight and apart from all the cheering. They have just finished the werst seasons they have ever known, sc to the multitude they have no place among those who belong. Two Greatest Records, And yet, in spite of 1915, they have the two greatest records ever made in modern baseball under the present system, records far beyond that of any others now in the game. Bill Carri- gan has won his first pennant. So has Pat Moran. They deserve all the ac- claim they have been getting. But it ig also well enough to remember that Connie Mack has won siX pennants and three world's champioships, and that John McGraw has won five pen- nants and a world’s championship, gnd that when the records of all con- cerned are totalled for future inspec- tion Mack and McGraw will be well in front of any competitive marks. One Queer Feature, There was one queer feature at- tached to the first four games of the 1915 world's series that we have never seen duplicated. In at least three of the four games the Red Sox played far better ball, they did better work, upon an average, in the box, on cefense and upon attack. In three of the four games what breaks there were came Boston’s way. Such a com- bination as this better ball playing, plus better fortuhe, would ordinarily mean a series of easy triumphs. Yet in the four games the Red Sox scored only seven runs against the Phillies’ six. Fate Against Cravath. We figure the main breaks against the Phillies came, in the tWwo Boston games where Cravath drove out smashes that upon any normal field would have been easy home runs. It is true enough that only grand flelding cut them down. But they were home run drives in nine-tenths of all the parks there are, and it was his un- lucky fortue to deliver such blows in the one park where the rare speed of Lewis and Speaker would prove fatal 10 his fame. Two Strong Defenses. In those first four games more, than passing mention was made of the Red Sox defense, which held ‘the Phillies to seventeen hits and six runs in four games—an average of less than five hits and only one and one-half runs to the battle. Yet in these four games the Red Sox totalled only seven runs, an average of less than two tallies to the cday. A defense that can hold an attack to less than a brace of runs through four contests is certainly no affair of putty or cheese, The Red Sox in the first four games scored seven runs on thirty-two hits, most of these hits being hard smashes. They averaged only one run to four and one-half safe blows. The Phillies scored six runs on sixteen hits, re- quiring less than three hits for a run. Not depending too much upon these figures for verification of the dope, the Red Sox haven't the most alert at- tack in the world. It has power and sufficient speed,, but lacks versatility He's the snappy left outfielder of the Boston Red Sox and was a big factor in the winning of three games straight for his team from Alexander, Mayer and Chalmers, Philadelphia’s best pitchers. In four games Lewis PORT LIGHT Grantland Rice and the Keenness of attack once shown by Cubs, Giants and Mackmen. An Ordinary Attack. The Red Sox offense is twenty de- grees below ifs defense. In the latter art the Carrigan club is a wonder. In the former it is only crdinary. Its lone force of attack is an affair of several dangerous batrmen, but thera is no system of attack calculated to get runs in any other way than by the base hit route. If this viewpoint is out of gea: it was undoubtedly true of the first four games played where the major por- tion of Boston's hits went to seed by the roadside. Hoppe in Danger. Dear Sir: We are. wondering if Willie Hoppe has noticed what has happened to champions in this year of topsy-turvyism in sport. Willie plays Koji Yamanda in Boston the coming week for the 14.1 world’s balkline billiard title, which Hoppe now holds. How any one can beat Hoppe in three nights of play, 500 poits each night, is not within the imagination of those who have watched the American cue wizard perform, but a golfer can miss a 6-inch putt; Tris Speaker can drop an easy fly or lose one in the sun, Hoppe can make a miscue and leave the bil- liard balls in position. The Jap can make runs of more than a hundred or even two hundred. And there you are. If Yamada fails he can console himself with the thought that it is a long way to Japan, and the 14.1 championship trophy is both heavy and bulky, with expressage rates high, —L. F. Looks Like Harvard. Dear Sir: I have watched both Princeton and Yale play this season and so far I have been able to make only two deductions. One is that Yale hasn’t any defense and the other is that Princeton hasn't any attack. When these two elevens meet which should be the favorite upon this basis?—L. K. H.

National Commission’s Decision Does Not Interfere. Cincinnati, Ohio, Oct. 14.—Frank C. Bancroft, busine manager of the Cincinnati Nationals, announced last night that the decision of the Na- tional Baseball Commission to send the Boston Americans and the Phil- adelphia Nationals to the Pacific coast would not alter his plans to take an American and a National all- star team of the Pacific Northwest. Bancroft said he already had se- lected his team from the various Na- tional League clubs, and that Dick Hoblitzel, first baseman of the Bos- ton Americans, was delegated to choose the players from his league for the American team. Hoblitzel also was to have acted as manager of the American players, but some other man will be named to manage the representatives of that league. Baneroft's two all-star teams are booked to start on the trip on Octo- ber 20, and close on November 19, in Portland, Ore. BULGARIANS SHORT SHELLS. Athens, Oct, 13, Via Paris, Oct. 14, 4:45 A.

CLEAN UP OR SHUT UP—HEALTH BOARD | Authorities Have Heart to Heart Talk With Two Dealers and Tell Them Who Is' Boss Around Here. The board of health met yesterday afternoon and considered two com- plaints made by Dr. B. D. Radcliff, milk Peter Johanson's case was the first heard. Johanson has bought a portion of a milk route and is desirious of obtaining a - cense. On October 9, Inspector Rad- cliff took samples of his milk and found it below average, Under questioning of Chairman Tallard, Johanson said he came from New York and was desirious of es- tablishing a trade of his own. He buys his milk from another party. After warning Johanson of the neces- sity of selling clean milk, the board dismissed him, Dr. Radcliff complained of J. ‘A. Himlestein, milk dealer of Hartford avenue. The inspector said he had examined Himlestein's quarters and had recommended that the man change them for there is no running water, the building is unfit and the yard is always in a dirty condition. He has warned the man several times and the latter alway promised to move to better quarters. However, up to the present he has neglected to Himlestein said he intends to run a clean dairy and give his customers clean milk. He has been in the business for three years. He complained to his landlord, when Dr. Radcliffe spoke to him and the landlord promised to repair the build- ing but has failed to do so. Himle- stein says he would be glad to move to other quarters within a week if the board wished it. The board ap- proved of the proposition and after a warning to Himlestein he was dis- missed. Dr. Reeks thefi spoke of the at- tention that has been paid to the orders of the board, regarding chicken houses and the plumbing in two family houses. Nearly every one who received notices complied with them and Dr. Reeks considered this a remarkable showing. The meeting then adjourned, 5 inspector. WILL NOT PLAY AT EXPOSITION.
