AUDI ALTERAN +-ohTEM'
Last Week, says the Holly Springs Reporter
| of the sixteenth, Master Freeland Chew, sor
of our good citizen, Mr. R. E. Chew, received
a severe injury while playing baseball. HI
was struck In the face. knocked down, anC
for several hours,was delirious, causing hi
parents great alarm. We are glad to repor
his recovery. About the same time Master
Andrew Govan was seriously hurt in playing
the same game. The most charitable defni
ton that can be gwen to the game Is to say
1t Is barbarous one, disfguring and mutt
latlng the fair proportions of the youth o.
the country who play it. You can usually
tell boy who plays the game. He has dis.
located fingers, or swollen hands, or SCARED
cheeks, or bleared eyes, or missing teeth,
or distorted lips, or broken nose, or split
cars, or melancholy limp that spoils his mo-
ton. These are a few of the symptoms of a
base ball player. The game should be sup
pressed In school and everywhere. We do
not believe God fashioned youth to be torn.
and battered and disfgured by such savage
game. 1T was not so in our day." "Old
town ball. is better game, without the cru
elites and dangers of baseball. Ii is a charm
ing game; it is elevating and improving to
| the youth, while it Is altogether harmless
| Base ball is unrefned, cruel, dangerous, and
| should not be tolerated by teachers or parents

Globe Democrat: "Out of one hundred
and twenty games played in the Information

| inclusive, but five were marked by double
| figure scores, and eighteen were won by
scores of three runs and less, there being
| three games marked by scores of to o.
| League clubs" The reason Is that the
League clubs are much heavier batters than
| are found in the International teams.
| The Globe Democrat says: Thus early in
| the season the Cincinnatis have grand lead,
| and unless the strength of the Providence
| club has been underrated the skillful Bos-
| tons will have great difficulty ia retaining
| the pennant, which will probably lie between
| Chicago, Cincinnati and Boston. Indianap-
| oils does not occupy the position which she
| should for the reason that certain players in
the team are already adding to their hitherto
| ''tarnished" regulations. Milwaukee is evil

CHICAGO, May 14--Cold weather here cut
down the attendance at the fourth Chicago
| Indianapolis game to two thousand five hun
| dred people. The exhibition was not good
one on either side, though the home club
held much the most of the luck, and also
lost their grip about as they did IN the last
game in Cincinnati. The Blues made their
runs by successive errors of Arson, Har-
| bridge, Ferguson and Stewart. There was
nothing in the play that might not have been
pardoned up to the eighth inning, when they
| fell apart and suffered Nelson and Clapp to
score on only one safe nit added to four err
rors. All this was after two hands were out.
The home team madea brave strike for vic
tory In the last inning, when they had bases
full and only one out, but Mailman spoiled
all by a high one on which Quest made a
double play. The latter played remarkable
game. The following is the official score:
Runs earned-Chicago, 2; indianapolis, 0.
