ton.
Mr.. Comings will play second base.
His position as guardian angel
makes it necessary for everybody to
see him before anything can get more
than half way through the Legislature,
and it is believed he will be able to
stop quite few of the opposing play
ers halfway round the circuit of the
bases. Price will be provided with
some cute little bond bills that he
will pin onto the opposing batsman
when he comes to the plate, and il is
believed that, when Comings sees II
the player will never get any farther
than second base. and
Mr.. Brnmbaugh, the Democratic
floor leader, will play third. because
things come awfnlly fast to a fellow
on third and he has to move quickly.
AS leader of the opposition he has been
well trained to handle bunt hits, hay
ing been bunted about so frequently
by an arrogant majority that he is ac-
customed to that style of play
Clyburn, of Highland, has all the
candidates for shortstop beaten at the
place because he makes so short a
stop at any one place.
Mr.. Beal will pay center. He is par
ticularly qualified for this place as he
is the only man in the house who has
succeeded in putting through a prop
osition that strikes medium line
that pleases everybody interested. His
local option measure was one of the
greatest pieces of centerfelding ever
seen on the legislative grounds.
Pollock, himself, will play first base.
He got SO accustomed during the
speal;ership fight, to having things
thrown at him, that he can get every
thing that comes his way. Nobody has
been selected to play the right field.
Captain Pollock declares he will not
choose Democratic member for this
field for he wants majority of Re-
publicans along if any dispute should
come up on the train coming back.
He wants an experienced man for the
right field. He easily found one for
the left and for the center fields, but
he has been over the Republican side
with fine-tooth-comb and he is un-
able to find anybody on that side who
has ever had any experience in the
! right. The game will probably have to
be played with eight men.
Speaker McKinnon will interpret the
rules before the game starts, and which
ever side he wants to win, will win,
no matter what the rules provided
originally.
Joe Miller and Purley Baker, being
bosom companions, will introduce the
douhle-umpire system. much after the
fashion that has prevailed during the
session.
In the house, Wednesday, Senator
Wirt's hill was passed to provide for
appeals from probate court to common
pleas court from an order removing
or refusing to remove an executor,
administrator, guardian, assignee,
trustee or other officer appointed by
the probate court, to apply. to all
pending actions. Mr.. Wirt's bill was
also passed providing that common
pleas court may revoke, modify or va
cate an order made by the probate
court removing or refusing to remove
trust officers. This provides for action
in error. Both are now statutes.
Two measures by Mr.. Willis, Of
, Hardin. passed the houEe Wednesday
, and will now go to the senate. The
first provides that fees charged fra
ternal insurance companies shall be
, paid into the state treasury and p.o-
viding further that whenever an Ohio
company is subjected to an examina-
ton in foreign state that similar
examination shall be conducted in this
state with the same conditions and
charges that exist in said foreign state.
The other provides that all fees
; charged against insurance companies
shall be paid into the state treasury.
! All examinations hereafter are to be
charged to the companies should they
demand the same. Officers in depart
ment receive straight salaries instead
Of fees.
