Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1897-12-03

said: "Old man, watch the inside cor
ner; I'm going to work it and know
you will give it to me if l get the ball
over" OF course the attention of the
umpire would be focused on the cor
ner that Johnnie named, and even If
the ball was slightly off the indicator
handler would often give the foxy
pitcher the benefit of the doubt. When
John was about to work the outside
corner he would call the attention OF
the umpire to the far corner of the
home rubber, and then he would say:
Now, old man, I'll make it easy for
you; I'm going to shove it plump over
the heart of the plate. The umpire,
even If he knew he was being worked,
couldn't help admiring Johnnie's foxy
plan, and Clarkson had style of deliv-
cry that was often hard to render de-
cisions on. He had slow ball, about
the same style as the Mercer slow
ball, and he mixed speed with it. John

tics and magnates declare it is a fail
ure, but the great majority hold that
it has been a success. Henry Chad
wick, the veteran critic, voices their
sentiments as follows.
"A very able Philadelphia writer
said two years ago that the league, Ill
completing its 12-club league, had
builded better than it KNEW each
years experience only adding to its
strength and its great superiority over
the old eight league, with its American
Association rival. The average per-
centage of victories figures the three
tail-end clubs each year during the six
years the 12-club league has been in
existence, has showed superior work
to that of the tail enders of the eight
club leagues in operation from 1882 TO
1891 inclusive. Two rival leagues in
the arena have been conclusively prov
en- to be damaging to the welfare Of
the professional fraternity at large, be-
sides preventing the successful work
ing of that great safety contract, the
National Agreement, which has only
been perfected since the 12-club major
league went into operation. The ma
jor league has become as necessary 20
the life of professional ball playing as
honesty itself in the professional
ranks; in fact, a return to the rival
eight-club leagues would prevent the
game being played in its integrity, and
could also produce. the old evils OF
contract breaking and fancy salaries,
besides opening the doors to another
Brotherhood revolt. while not one Of
either of these evils can exist under
the 12-club league government con-
troll"
That embraces in convincing form
the good effects of the 12-club league
upon the artistic and moral phases Of
the sport Aside from that, however,
,the 12-club league has also proven that
financially it is the most successful
and therefore the most desirable sys-
TEN of providing major league ball,
inasmuch as under it the clubs have
fourished and have been placed upon
"a firmer, more permanent basis than
ever before. The money invested IN
base ball now is not subject to yearly
hazard, and a league franchise at last
has a fixed and permanent value
Never has the game been more sure of
absolutely honest exposition, and ney-
err before have financial investments
been so secure as in the era of the r.
club league. If at the end of the 10
year compact, the same is not re-
newed for another equally long term

themselves to be.-Editor Sporting

The New York Herald, In whose en-
ploy the late o. P. Caylor was last,
paid a fine tribute to his memory and
thus recounted his great struggle for
life:
Mr.. Caylor was never rugged, but
his blows for the welfare of the ma
tional game were those of giant.
Delinquent players were never given
any quarter. Pitiless sarcasm in the
face of abuse and threats of bodily
harm were showered upon them, and
reformation alone caused it's suspen-
sion. He deemed it criminal to dis
appoint the public, and when the lapse
of a player was due to his own folly
his pointed illusions to the offending
cut as a two-edged sword. Master of
humor, he made giants appear as pig
mics, but was quite as ready with
words of praise and encouragement as
he found them deserved. Mr.. Caylor's
fight for life was pathetic in its bold
ness. There were those dear to him,
a wife and a child, who needed his as
sistance, and for these he determined
to live. The struggle was one-sided.
but on his part it was heroic. Before
he left the city for the west and
hoped for recovery he went to the ball
grounds in this city in a carriage, ac-
companied by his wife. and though
scarcely able to reach his old seat in
the stand, his courage never faltered.
He did this for days, even weeks, and
politely and persistently declined as
sistance in his work. His voice had
then left him, and though it seemed
physically impossible for him to even
column after column in his old-time
forcible style, clearly defined, and then
smiled at his friends, who were aston

Wages That Lead to Sin.

Cluett, Coon & Co. added another to
their long list of wage reductions last
week by cutting the prices on facings
from liz to cents, which means that
the girls who do this work and used
to make 81 per day will hereafter re-
ceive for the same labor rs cents a
day. Cluett's original proposition was
to cut the price to cents, but the pro-
test of the girls was so general that
he receded one cent. From the fruita
of this reduction it will now be in
order for the Cluetts to donate to one

Tribute to a Departed Georgian
Jack Powell pays this tribute to de-
ceased friend: "A Terrell county man
died last week, and has gone to join
six wives on that beautiful shore.
This scribe knew him well in life; also
two or three of his wives. He de-
clared he would not live without wife
and a pocketknife. After burying six
good women he could not find another
'taker, and in the neighborhood of
three score and ten he died, of a broken
heart, no doubt"

This story is told of the English ac-
tor, Penley, the creator of Charles
Aunt" that on one occasion he was
going north and barely caught the
train at Euston. He jumped into
carriage where were some young fell
lows, and the only available seats
were filed up with bags and gun-cases
out of the way he stood up and held
on to the hat-rack. This went on for
an hour or so, when one of the fellows
shifted some of the things and asked
him if he wouldn't sit down. "Oh,
don't tronble," replied Mr.. Penley
with twinkle in his eye, II am only
going as far as Scotland"

The FarcIcaI Side of II.

Minnesota has a new state law pro-
viding for the examination of BARRIERS,
and the first examination held is re-
ported by the Union Advocate of Min
neapolis, and while written up in good
faith and with strict attention to de-
tails, it is excruciatingly funny in
parts and ridiculous in the extreme.
The following extract from the Union
Advocate will explain:
President Petit took charge of the
candidates, and after seating them in
a row at one end Of the room. pro-
ceeded with quite professional air to
put some very puzzling questions. The
list of questions was as follows:

James NJ. Carson last Saturday re-
signed as president of the Illinois di-
vision of the United Mine Workers of
America, and the executive board of
the organization promptly accepted it.
He had been charged with having &C.
cepted bride from the Consolidated
Coal Mining Company for the purpose
Of ending the strike against the COM
pany. The executive board met at
Springfield to sit as a court to try the
charge, but President Carson's resig-
nation was in the hands of it's secre-
tary at the time it assembled. Before
acceptance of the resignation there
was read before the board the evidence
taken at a subdistrict court of inquiry
in East st. Louis. 1t appeared from
this evidence that three members of
the organization had received 5000 each
as bride from c. ]. Simpson, man
ager of the Consolidated Coal Com
pany. The men confessed to having
received the money, but claimed they
used it for distribution among the
strikers and for the promotion of the
strike. They also confessed they gave
President Carson $50 each of this mon
ey. This defense was not accepted,
and they were expelled from the Or
ganization President Carson in his
letter of resignation acknowledged he
received the money, but also claimed
it was to be used for the benefit of
the strikers. In speech he acknowl-
edged that an error had been commit
ted, but declared his loyalty to the
cause of the miners. The executive
board promptly passed resolutions ac-
cepting his resignation and suspending
him from membership in the organiza-
ton for six months. John NJ. Hunter,
vice president of the organization, sue
ceeds to the Office as president, and w.
R. RUSSELL of the Danvle district, was
elected vice president. w. D. Ryan, of
Braidwood, was elected member of
the national executive board to fill the
vacancy caused by the removal Of Mr..

as he predicted he would, and lignt

In these days of the higher crlti-
cism" it 10 rarely that clergyman is
found who sticks to the Bible in its
literal sense without undertaking to
put his own Interpretation upon It..
Rev. Mr.. Torrey, however, declares his
belief in the old-fashioned orthodox
hell, and the liberal preachers will have
some difficulty in attacking his posi-
ton. 1t has become fashionable to in
sist that any particularly unpleasant
passage in the Bible has "igurative
meaning" altogether different and
much more agreeable. 1t is this con-
tention which Mr.. Torrey attacks. and
from an orthodox standpoint he is en-
tirely right. If men may interpret the
Bible to suit themselves it loses Its
authority as divine inspiration. Il
must be accepted or rejected just as
it is. Many people do not believe in
the fire and birthstone doctrine, but If
pinned down it would be found that
most of them don't believe in the
Bible either, although they may think
they do.
