"BAD MAN” OF THE PRESENT
Automobile Joy Rldor ■ Worthy Suo
etuor of tho Reckless Frontiers
men of Othar Days.
The Ed oat typical “rough house"
oharacter of the peat has been the
oowboy. The moat reckleaa character
of the present day la the automobile
Bend. The rowdy ruffian of the future
will probably ride the aeroplane.
The abort story reader, says a Chi
cago newspaper, Is familiar with the
“bad man" of the'frontier. Reming
ton has made the world familiar with
the shooting up of towns. With a vol
ley of yells and a volley of revolver
shots the cowboys go galloping
through the town. Oalloplng, you no
tice. Is the word. If there was ever
a oase of shooting up a town or other
picturesque ruffianry In the cowboy
days that did not begin or end with
the clatter of hoofs It Is yet to be .re
corded.
In the same way the automobile
misdemeanor goes with a rush and a
honk. Only a few days ago a party
of automoblllsts shot up a New York
cafe. They did It hi the good old
fashioned way, only that they used
gasoline for a motive power in place
of panting horse flesh. The shooting
up occurred In the vicinity of Broad
way and Thirty-ninth street. The
shooters were ejected from the cafe.
In revenge they clambered Into their
machine and going by the Inhospitable
drink shop filled It full of bullets.
The police records of any western
town of twenty years ago were filled
with the crimes of dashing horsemen.
The daily paper of the present Is filled
with the misdemeanors of the auto
moblllst Is It part of the speed
mania to make a man contemptuous
of law and order? Does the whistle
of the wind across his ears fill him
with a desire to run down many vic
tims and fill them full of bullet boles?
Whether the indictment of speed Is
capable of legal proof or not one thing
Is suro; the automobillst Is the legiti
mate successor of the oowboy and la
continuing his work of riding rough
shod over law and order. The sight
of a reeling cowboy galloping down
the street with guns waved on high
aent terror to the hearts of women
and children and law-abiding ettisena
In the past. So in the preaentday the
sight of an automobile clipping cor
ners off baby carriages and grocery
■tores creates a panic. The bad man
and gun fighter of the ,plalna has
passed away, but he has left a worthy
and able successor In the Joy rider of
tho oltlee.
Mow. Curie’s Assistant.
Mm*. Curls, the most remarkable
woman scientist. Is very particular In
choosing her laboratory assistants
and, although she has many men
working under her, there Is only one
woman. This IS a very bright young
Norwegian, Mlee Gledtlsch, who has
her B. 8. and M. 8. from the Univer
sity of Christiania, of which ehe was
the youngest woman to graduate. She
passed her examinations with high
honors, and took up the etudy of
radio-activity. She contributed sev
eral papers on the subject which
awakened such approval that, al
though much younger than the major
ity of the students, she was appoint
ed Instructor in physics, one of tho
Brat women to hold that position in
Norway.
Her Independent research work was
so good, however, that the Norwegian
government soon gave her a stipend
with which to continue her studies
on the continent. As she had spedaV
lxed In radio-activity, she naturally
wrote to Mme. Curie who, after a
rigid examination, admitted her to tho
laboratory, of which she la now preo-

Giants Take
Fifth Game
BONEHEAD PLAY BY MURPHY
LETS DOYLE HOME WITH
WINNING RUN.
Polo Grounds, New York, Oct. 25.
—With the world’s championship in
their grasp, the Athletics exploded in
the ninth inning today and blew the
game to New York, 4 to 3, in the
tenth.
Running easily and with Jack
Coombs looking like a sure victor,
with two out and with a two-run lead,
Otis Crandall, McGraw’s third pitch
er in the battle banged out a hit far
over Oldring’s head and revived New
York’s dying hopes of the champion
ship.
The game ended with what perhaps
will become one of the most famous
bone plays of baseball history. Larry
Doyle was on third base by virtue
of a flunky two-base hit and a much
hobbled up bunt. The Athletics were
on the defensive and desperate by the
sudden turn of luck which, after
favoring them all day, suddenly
switched against them.
Once they held the Giants runners
to their bases and then Merkle, the
villian of the other bonehead play,
hit a foul fly down the right field
line, and Danny Murphy, scooting
along the fence and crossing onto
foul ground, caught the ball and let
Doyle come home with the run that
rerived New York’s hopes.
Had Murphy played real smart ball
he would have let the sphere drop
foul, which would have kept Doyle at
third. After the ball dropped into
Murphy’s hands Doyle started for
home and scored.
It was a wonderful game, filled with
excitement and ending in a semi-riot
when the big crowd, which had al
most abandoned hope, saw the Giants
rally and win. It was Doyle’s victory.
His four hits tell the tale of all New
York’s offense.
