Justice Watkins Appointed

The people, o: North Louisiana
particularly, but over the State
generally, were glad to hear that
Governor Foster had appointed
Justice J.. b. Watkins as his own
sUcce ssor on the Supreme Bench of

This was graceful act on tt e
part Of Governor Foster, and
shows that he respected the wish
of of the people.
Let us give credit when and
where due.
Hon. Lyman Gage, Secretary OF
the Treasury, has done one thing
that Mr.. Carlisle refused to do, or
at least he did not, though often
advised, through the newspapers
at least, and this Is to allow the
people of our country of small
to take some of the bond
issue, soon to be made. In fact
it appears as if Mr.. Gage seems to
be in favor of giving home folks a
show, any way.

Every big batsman In the history OF
baseball has had a weakness which IL

err shown IL. because the pitchers were
unable to discover it. Taking advantage
of a batter's weakness presupposes good
control on the part of the pitcher. which
of course is not possessed by all twfrl-
ers. Jim White was counted n Of the
Leagues hardest hitters for years. He
wound up among the first 10 or IL sea-
SON after season. All this time various
pitchers were trying TO fool him with
curves. drops and shoots. which he ell
Their murdered or allowed to develop

ones over the plate was White found
out. He could do nothing with these
but convert them into easy bounders
for the infield.
Burns says that a slow ball on tho
order of a toss bothered him more than
anything else. He either missed IL al
together or knocked a high ny. Speed
he met with a half motion. One day g
pitcher slipped as he was about to de-
the ball. and it came owe the plate
like a bean bag. Tom swung at II 80

the crack Canadian clubs have arrang-
ed TO play games In Chicago I'm July.

The Wanderers crack eleven Of the lat
ter city will make their annual tour to
Canada In August and may visit st.

year the Wanderers made an excellent
showing in Canada. They played near
Iy a dozen matches and were victorious
In a majority of them.
The Chicago Cricket club is one of
the strongest in hat city. II possesses
a coy clubhouse and good grounds. The
Wanderers last year Won the Walker
challenge cup and also the presidents
cup and hope TO repeat the perform
ance this season. The series of games
for the Walker cup will be between four
OF the local teams. This will be the
premier series or matches. as only the
most expert elevens viii contest in
them. The presidents cup is annually
played for by the junior elevens Of the
clubs and usually furnishes some good
games.
There are good cricket teams In Min
neapolis and st. Paul. and in this as in
every other way the Twin Cities are al
ways anxious to down each other. This
year the Minneapolis team has been
strengthened by the addition OF Bates,
probably the best player Manitoba turn
ed out last rear. He carried off the
bowling average at the northwestern
tournament last season and showed
himself to be no mean bat. There is a
yearly hxture In the club that always
affords great sport and excitement.
That is the match between the married
and single members of the club. There
Is the keenest rivalry between the
teams. Since this contest was organ-

and hearty. retaining the clear red and
white English complexion or her youth,
an alacrity OF step and a vivacity of
mind which one does not find every day
among the younger professional women
of the times.
In many ways Mrs. Jones is an anom-

would be difiicult to find a better in

where. She has been an indefatigable
student of life ana nature. she has trav-

been wide and varied.
Her small, low ceiled parlor Is lined
with trophies OF all the great theatrical
stars who have shone In the American
armament for half a. century. Mrs.
Jones has played with most OF them

been so much cause for consratulation
among the enthusiasts as there is this
season. Each year the sport has shown
