BIT OF MISSOURI ROMANCE

A BIT OF MISSOURI ROMANCE.
Ksnas City Star.
The felonious termination of the
case of the state of Missouri versus
Colonel Richard Liddell recalls an
episode Of bygone interest of the peo-
pie of Western Missouri. Ten years
ago Colonel Liddell was . member of
that brilliant staff which surrounded
Colonel Jesse James, whose trusted
friend and valued lieutenant he was.
Colonel Liddell was q gentleman of
fine personal presence and most en-.
gaging manners despite the disagree
able exigencies of his calling and the
necessity of vigorous, even austere
conduct. According to the legends of
that period Colonel Liddell was accus.
toned to penetrate into the bowels Of
Ray county, where he was often
thrown lrto the society of Colonel
Wood Hite, another admirer and
humble follower of Colonel James
It must be understood that Colonel
Liddell was a "divil of a fellow
the ladies" per reason of the
romantic nature of his vocation
and the acknowledged charm of his
address. One day-so the legend
runs-Colonel Liddell and Colonel
Hite were discussing in a somewhat
heated way the merits and dement's
of certain nympb, whose identity
has not been established, and from
argument rapidly proceeded to the
more effective use Of firearms. Colonel
Liddell had already perforated Colonel
Hite once or twice in a convincing
manner, when Colonel Robert Ford,
who was an interested spectator of
the debate, wearied of the apparently
friendly discussion and put two bull !
lets into Colonel Hiie's head. As
Colonel Hite thereupon evinced q !
to continue the argu- |
ment Colonel Liddell and Colonel |
Ford took him out and buried him,
and from that moment de-
cided that they were bound
together by a tie more enduring than
the ordinary bond of friendship.
This was in February, 1882, or
theresbout. In April of the same year
Colonel Ford resumed his pistol prAc-
tice. As Colonel James was hanging !
pictures one day in his coy home in
st, Joseph-but why repeat q story
which is now a part of the romantic |
literature of Missouri? After Colonel |
James had been laid away with i'm
pressive ceremonies near the old fam
lily villa in Clay county, it became
necessary for the state Of Missouri to
take formal action respecting the dis.
of Colonel Hite. In view,
of the distinguished public
services Of Colonel Ford, abetted by
the earnest moral support of Colonel
Liddell, the state of Missouri was in
an awkward predicament. 1t was rea.
soned that Colonel Hite was danger
Gus menace to the morals of society
and that his death, far from being an
evidence of crime, was q great public |
and . token of providential
Interpolation. Accordingly Colonel
Ford was released with . warn
ing to use proper care in
the subsequent employment of
firearms. Colonel LiddelPs case
was distinguished by the rspidity !,

Sunday ball playing is prohibited.
The Reserve Rule Changes.
There is not space at command TO fully dis
cuss the new features of the reserve rule ana
the national agreement this week. AS mat
ter of general principle the addition OF a tnlro
party as major league to the national agree
ment is a wise move. because it concentrates
all the most useful baseball power in the coun'
try and this is always more or less barrier
against rebellion. With the three bodies
equally recognized in the national agreement,
it cannot longer be said that the Natlonai
League desires to "boss'' matters over the AS
sociation. The leading feature of the reserve
rule is that no player can be transferred from
one club 60 another without the full consent OF
the player. Really fail to see where any
practical improvement has been made on tne
old custom, but with very few exceptions play
ers were not only consulted about their trans
fers. but generally reaped good nnanclai pene-
fits. But the new condition, that is. the new
feature of the old condition, will probably nave
a tendency to permit stubborn player to cause
considerable trouble. True, this new feature
has very attractive side of sent1mental1sm
about it l don't object TO the sentimental side
Of life by any means. but there Is always a
pire that ball players will discover that tney
have not been gamers by the sentimental
change in the reserve rule.
Local Baseball Affairs.
Nothing of an unusual kind has transpired
during the week as far as local baseball affairs
are concerned. We are all still living in strong
hopes of securing few new players of a first
class kind; but 1 am beginning to think that
our chances are not as good as they were, or as
they looked. One very definite condition has
been agreed upon by all the magnates, and
hat ie hat al1 nj m Of
they left to join the Players League. This
condition was SO enthusiastically agreed to
that l fear there is but little hope
OF the Association allowing Bierbauer
to leave its ranks and join the
Pittsburg club. There may be q technicallty
about BIerbauers case that would make it ex-
ceptional The Athletics were disbanded, but
Bierbauer left that club before it disbanded,
and had he stuck to 1t none of us will contend
for a moment that almost every club in the
Association would not have wanted him. l am
anxious that a player like Bierbauer should
come here, but don't want to secure him un-
fairly. PRINGLE.

been talking about Dempsey as a middle.
weight, and as such 1 claim he is not in the
front rank. Dempsey is not middle-weight.
and we're he to remain in his class he would
never fight men any heavier than lao or 142. At
that weight Dempsey would almost be peerless,
and he was certainly ill-advised when he was
persuaded to enter the middle-weicht ranks
If he were to get down as fine as Fitzsimmons
he would be about l40 pounds, and he would
fight all the better for it. The condition
of Fitzsimmons shows that there is no reason
why an ounce Of superhuous flesh ought to be
carried. True, Dempsey naturally may have
had The ambition to be as high up as possible,
but extra weight does not always make man
the better for carrying It At any rate, am
yet to be convinced that Dempsey is not too
light man to cope with a powerful mid
dle-weight. have often expressed this opinion,
and each succeeding event is proving the truth
OF my assertions.
The Effects of the Battle.
OF course, the battle has caused any amount
OF excitement and it is sure to have more or
less influence on the minds of legal authorities
and the directors of clubs. Financially the
affair was very great success and this fact
may prompt some other club to offer sensa-
tional purse TO two other prominent fighters.
But the contest will have strong effect on the
minds of those interested in the law. Iintend
to have my usual kick against Queensberry
rules and in doing so l say that NOBODY can be
surprised at objections TO contests the rules OF
which force a man to stand up three minutes
and be battered during all that time The
brutality of Queensoerryrules was never shown
clearer than IN the Dempsey -Fitzsimmons bat
tie. Here we had little man who could not
get down out of the way of big man who was
inflicting awful punishment. A breathing
spell to Demsey would have been blessing.
but those modern rules would grant no such
humane treatment and he had to stay there
three minutes being knocked right and lett.
If anybody can point me out .any such
brutal copdition or feature in prize
ring rules 1 will become an ardent ad-
vocate of Oueensberry rules. The latter
when applied to 'hnish-fghr are
brutal and that is putting it very mild But
ask if we cannot have battles in the good old
way why are the glove affairs to 60 on? Is it
because there is money enough to keep every
body interested Bear in mind that am not
arguing for the prohibition Of glove fights,
either in clubs or other places; but what do
contend is that there is as much reason for the
permission of bare-knuckle fights as there is
for glove contests to a finish. To allow one and
prohibit the other is inconsistent.
