After-Supper Shoppers
Limited to Five Nights
Do your Christmas shopping NOW snd do It EARLY IN THE
DAY.
1 The merchants of Detroit hare agreed sot to open their stores
In the evening until Thursday, Dee. 19, which will give five nights
before Christmas for the after-supper sfcybppera.
Thoro are so many people who really cannot get down town
id shop until the evening hours, that every other person #bo can
shop early In the day, should do so, that the congestion of the
evening shopping crowd be relieved aa much ea possible.
A Utile planning ahead, sad thought for others, will result In
better shopping conditions all around sad much less wserlneee to
the salespeople.
Let your Christmas-spirit extend to shop employee end in your
pert, by shopping EARLY, to the end that ChrlsUnaq day may be a
time of happtneid and lightness of spirit, rather then a day us com
plete wearlneaa of body and mind, to the “girl behind the counter,"

NEW YORK, Dec. 18.--Our own
stock market of today gave indication
that the violence of the forces latoly
at work had considerably subsided.
The backward and forward swing of
prices, during the day, covered In some
stocks a range or two to three points
but the net changes were not great
Interest shifted In some degree to
the foreign markets, especially Paris,
on whose stock exchange severe dis
turbance was reported with conse
quent disorder In London, and heavy
selling on the early New York market,
for the account, both of London, and
the continent. >
French Rentes declined 1-4, British
Consols, nearly 1-1.
All this seemed to be ascribed
abroad to re viral of apprehension orei
the Balkan settlement, and especially
to rumors or Austro-Servian collision
The probability Is strong that these
were only the sort of rumor that al
ways circulates at times like this,
especially when a given stock market
is in a vulnerable oondttion, but the
occurrence adds Interest to the gen
eral situation.

BILLY HAMILTON MADE ’EM GO THE LIMIT 15 YEARS AGO
NOW SCOUTS FOR MAJORS AND MANAGES MINOR LEAGUE CLUBS.
l£ yEABS
"Four balls, take your base!"
"He's off for second!"
First the umpire, then the sane.
The second cry followed the first,
when Billy Hamilton was playing
'baseball.
Billy Hamilton, that wonderflelder,
batter ahd base runner of the Phila
delphia and Boston Nationals, who
starred from 1889 to 1908.
Billy Hamilton, the batter who
made every pitcher go the limit, who
crowded the plate and refused to be
driven back by the speediost-of “bean
balls." Only John McOrsw classed
with him as a “waiter." A hard hit
ter, never swinging until he had to,
Hamilton was a nightmare to pitch
ers, even as Kid Elberfeld and Roger
Eresnahan were, later.
Billy Sunday and Bill Lange alone
classed with Hamilton in going from
first to second on the first pitch. Great
base runners do not steal on the first
pitch now, because this Is considered
bush league, but In Hamilton's day it
was the class.
In 1908. after hanging up one of the
best records in baseball, Billy Hamil
ton retfred from the majors, and has
since devoted himself to scouting for
the majors and managing minor league
learns. His home is at Clinton, Kas.,
and be spends his winters there.
Hamilton Is 48 now. He was born

BALLOT SQUABBLE
ARGUED IN COURT
Circuit Judges Hosmer, - Hally and
Codd, sitting in chancery, Friday af
ternoon, heard arguments on the ap
plication for a mandamus to compel
the county canvassing board to throw
out the unlnitlaled woman suffrage
amendment ballots.
Ward N. Choate, for the canvassing
board, argued that the law does not
provide for the initialing of these bal
lots. He said that the statute speci
fied the counting, canvassing snd >e
turntng of the ballots, but said noth
ing about numbering, perforating or
Initialing. He said that the election
commission had ruled that the ballots
need not be numbered or perforated,
and that the canvassing board had
followed this precedent in counting
the unlnitlaled ballots.
Mr. Choate said that the court had
no authority to ordei* the board to re
turn Its original count, since It had
found by recount that the original
count Is Incorrect.
Judge William L. Carpenter argued
that the canvassing board had no
right to recount the ballots.
Archibald Carey, of Carey. Arm
strong k Weadock, attorneys for the
suffrage petitioners, claimed the
count which did not throw out the
unlnitlaled ballots was Incorrect.

Baseball probably never has seen
Hamilton’s equal as a base runner; at
least no one ever equaled his record
of stealing more than 160 bases In two
different seasons.
Hamilton stole 102 baaea in 1890 and
1891 pilfered 115. Coaid the same

The shift of Kennedy to a position

follow the fast boys, It is fair to as

Hamilton Is one of the men who was
a credit to baseball. He was fast,
clean and aggressive, but never unfair
or a rowdy. He was popular with fans
and players and he was one of the
most dangerous batsmen that ever
faced a pitcher. Tot 12 consecutive
years he htt better than .800.
FATE OF CHRISTMAS
THEE BOAT SETTLED
BREBOYGAN, Wis., Dec. 13.—The
story of the fate of the Rouse Sim

the shores of Michigan and Wisconsin
woods, was found today in a bottle
which bobbed about the surface of
Lake Michigan. The note within the
bottle, which was found by Michael
Kovlovik, a fisherman, said;
“Friday—Everybody good-bye.
“I guese we are all through. Bea

Captain Schuenemann, his crew of
14 men, and Captain Christian Nelson,
an old sea voyager, and the latter's
wife, were on board the fated vessel.
The cargo of Christmas trees on the
boat comprised the entire fortune of
the Schuenemann family. The Rouse

NEW YORK* Dec. 13.—8 tiff and
■ore through injuries received lr
numerous spills, the riders in the six*

record, and it was generally bellevod
that they would stay behind from now
to the close, as most of the remain

Miller and “Dutch** Walker, “T| way
back in 1899, when the race was not
as much of a hippodrome as under
present conditions.
The judges, however, were doing
their best to spur the men on. A

_ The usual early tdorning light was
pulled off on schedule today, between
the notorious Hurapty Jackson gang,
and a rival organisation. The recent
convictions of guemen, and the rigor

When. John . Cprrtden leaves the
Tigers for the Cubs, as he Is slated to
do. following tho completion of tlo
Tlnger-Chance-Corriden deal, ha will
go satisfied that Manager Jennings, of
the Tigers, gave him every opportun
ity possible to make good here.
John has written to a friend h«ra
aa follows:
“I know that I did not show tho
Detroit team anything last fall. I
have no excuse to offer at all. I
do know that Mr. Jannlngt gave
ma all tha show in the world, bat
it aooma aa though thinga would
not brook for me at aIL I only
hope that I oan have aa good a
year in the National league aa 1
had In the American association.
If I can, I know that I will foal
satisfied with my spaeen’a work.”
Corriden is the Kansas City young
•ter who was touted so highly las*
fall and who was snapped up for a
price reported to be #12.800 by Presi
dent Navin to save the kid from going
into tho draft aud from tha probabil
ity that he would be blown In soma
direction besides juuglewards.
Corridon. with the handicap of the
trtg Trrtre paid for him, did. not prove
as he is'trank to admit, (ha wonder
that it was thought he would. In spite
of the fact that some fans howled at
him because he wasn't a beauty rigfeiV;
at the jump, there were many others
who contended that Corriden would
show his true pace before tha
were done, provided he could be kept

As is well known, Corriden was
the pivot upon upon which swung the
Tinker-Chance deal, which has been
thoroughly discussed; it was only
when President Navin consented to
sell him to Pittsburgh so that tha
Pirates could send him to the Cuba
In part payment for Tinker that
opportunity of letting Chance become,
a free agent was afforded.
Corriden spends his winters I*;
Logans port, lnd., where he pursues
his trade as a mechanic for the Van
dalia Railroad Cos. He. says that
swinging a sledge and pushing a die
be finds to be excellent methods of
keeping in condition between tha first
of November and the latter part of
February.
He sayß that he doesn’t sea bow
they can keep the Tigers out of tha
American league race this comiaf
season, providing the Tigers can de
velop a couple of good pitchers.
The - names of George Mullln and
Sam Crawford continue to be associat
ed with rumors coming from New.
York regarding all kinds of trades
and so on.
They say now that Sam Crawford
Is to be sent to the Highlanders to
help bolster that team. Presumably
the supposition is that Chance win
nlny first and Chase be given to the
Tigers <or something like that).
Garry Herrmann, of tha Cincinnati
club, said that he was going to gat
some “star American league pitcher*
in connection with the recant deals,
and Dame Rumor has It that Heorga
Mullln, of the Tigers, Is to be sold.
Mullln wrote only a few daya ago that
he lied heard that he was to be sold
or traded, but be didn’t lay enough
stress on (hat fact to make It seena
probable that he took it seriously.
While It Is absolutely true that all
(he American league magnates would
like to sec the New York Highlanders
bolstered up so that (be younger
league could compete with the strong
Giants In the biggest baseball e«BF
in the world, nevertheless It looks aa
If Navin were generous enough when
he sacrificed Red Corriden for tha
