burg's better balanced team giving her a
little the beat of it on the deciding game.

Two of the Heroes.
When It conics to picking the hero* of
the serin, two names stand out. above all
the rest, and those are George Mu Milk
of Detroit, and Babe Adams of Pitta-
burg. At find glance, the majority of
the fans would give tho lion's share of

I has never been known in the game of
standpoint of the whole series, and one
pf the best fu the history of the game,
in Ibis game lie Jet the Pirate* down with
four widely s. altered hits, funning ten
im n in the nine innings, sulking out Bred
Cbnk«? and Harra Wagner in the third I
third. This piece of work was the fea-
ture of the series
Adams Lucky.
Adam* was rather lucky to win his sec-
ond game, although he pitched a fail*
game, but Detroit got to him for four
earned runs. Including two home run*.
What saved him on this occasion was the
line stick work of the men behind him,
ns the> Knocked lOddie Hummer* all over
the lot. Miillin's third game was up to
the standard of hi* two previous efforts,
while Adams, in ld» third game, gave hi*
best exhibition of the werlew. Ah this was
the. crucial game, too much credit cannot
be given Uie youngster for Id* opolflCHK
and nerve under the condition*. That ho
should give hi* bi*Ht service* in (lie game
that counted for everything:, knowing that
everything was at stake, showed that lie
bn* the making of one df the star* of the
game and has the brightest future of
any youngster that ever broke into tlie
game Adam* was the hero of the world's
scries of 1009, but George Mulllti was the
star Tin- veteran certainly left a gram!
record lids year to be written in the an-
nate of baseball.
Glorious Defeat.
Although Delroll wa* defeated, what
team ever went down to a more glorious
defeat? The word* "glorious" and "de-
feat* are not written together vers often,
but there Is no way to describe it other
ii nn -d )K3 borne. In mind that Cobb was
up age;. the best catcher in the game,
while Wag, . uhh stealing against an
ordinary catcher. J am not trying: tu de-
part from the glory that belong* to Wag-
mi, as lie is without dvubt one of the
baseball, llo has been in the big league
throe years and ha* led the Ameriaui
league three years, white this year he
has the moirt magnificent record In the
history or the game. He is the American
league's boHH batsman, his average of .376
being higher also than tin* leading but-
ter m ihe National league tWagnecJ.
He lends Ids league in *n ten buses with
I ho Wonderful mark of 81, nearly t w ice
n.s many as the leading ha.so runner of
the National. He lead* Ids league in
long nits and Is. also the best runner in
the American league. It. is a reword that
will Jive for many your* to cornu unless
he himself should equal It again.
In my comparison, l mentioned the
fact that, according to tliw past record*
of the two team*, Detroit had a little the
best of it ill batting, while Pittsburg ex-
cidlcd in fielding. The unofficial records
give Detroit a twitting record of .246, with
Pittsburg butting at .231. In fielding, the
same averages give Pittsburg a fielding
mark of .958, while Detroit gets an av-
erage of .949. Wagtmr wa* the best but-
i ter for Pit tubing with an average of .375.
While Deteluinty lead* foi Detroit with

DETAILS HORRIFYING
Victoria. B. C., Oct. 19.—Further
details of Ihe massacres in New Brit-
ain early last month briefly reported
In Sydney cables, received by the
steamer Marama today are to the ef-
fect that Captain I.lndsay of the Ketch
Rabaul and ten of his crew were mur-
dered and burned and the trading

ies of some of the victims being
thrown into the flames.,
Captain Decoyed Ashore.
Captain IJndsay, owner and master
of the Rabaul, was off thp east coast
of New Britain about 200 miles from
Herbertshone, recruiting labor. About
sundown when he anchored his ship
for the night, a swarm of native ca-
noes came off and the blacks asked
that he come ashore as plenty of men
were ready to sign on as laborers.
Captain Lindsay went, ashore and was
escorted to a big native house where
about a hundred blacks were gathered.
Hacked to Death.
As soon as he stepped in he was
struck down from behind with a spear
and the blacks sprang upon him with
knives. He fell bleeding from scores
of wounds and was hacked to death.
The body was then dragged out to
the beach by the heels and burned.
The flotilla of canoes then went orf
to the Rabaul and blacks swarmed
aboard. One after another the ten
men of the crew were slaughtered.
Then, while they lay, some dead and
some mortally wounded, a raid was
made on the stores and kerosene was
poured over the deck and in the holds
making the ship a funeral pyre for
(he murdered men. Ship and victims
were completely destroyed.

JOSS PAPER.
The Way This Popular Chinese Ma«
terial Is Manufactured.
The principle districts iu tho Yang-
tze valley in China iu which the man-
ufacture of joss paper is carried on,
Soasliing, Ningpo, -Haugtsebas and
Kntschau, lie to the south of ShanghaL
Young bamboo trunks are placed ia
ditches in layers with a covering of
lime between them. The ditches ere
sometimes as large as thirty feet wide
and ninety feet long. Water is poured
over the mass and the contents allowed
to remain until the trunks have rot-
ted, which sometimes takes as long
as three months.
After the limewnter has been drawn
off the muss is placed in a ditch pro-
vided with stirrers, where it is washed.
The reduction to fibers takes place in
mills drawn by buffaloes. After a sec-
ond washing the material is ready for
the mold of the papormnker. In China
us well as in Japan the mold consists
of fine bamboo sticks. For this reason
llie paper Is always ribbed.
The product is squeezed In wedge
presses, dried on a board and then cov-
ered with tin. The pulverized metal is
strewn over the sheets aud hammered
between the fillers with hammers of
soft wood. The chief difficulty lies
in tills hammering, and In spite of the
thinness of the paper the Chinese at-
tain a shining surface of tin. The pa-
per is packed in bales of 3,000 or 3,200
sheets.
