New Player Chosen Last Night
by Association.
He Succeeds Manager Sam Jack
son, Who Becomes Vice
President.
TEAM WORK WHAT IS NEEDED

The directors of the Paducah Base
ball association met last night and
elected Gage, the new infielder from
Michigan, captain and manager of the
team. Gage will play with the team
and will also manage all the affairs
heretofore left with Mr.. Sam jackson,
and will probably make an excellent
man for the place, having had much
experience in this line. Manager
jackson is now vice president.
Gage has been practicing the home
boys at batting and it is said that Pa
ducsh has more sure and heavy hitters
than any team in the league. Wal
lace, the left fielder for Cairo, has
made a reputation as a hitter, having
lined out three two-baggers and sew
eral singles in two games.
This morning the home team prac-
ticed batting again and will soon be
well to the front in hitting.
The change in management is not
likely to prove any too pleasing to the
Paducah players, it seems. They
claim. some of them, that the sssocia-
ton should have waited to find out
whether Gage made good before put
ting him in as captain and manager.
Some of them say that the captain
should always be chosen by a vote Of
the players, and not by the associa-
tion.
Manager Gage, however, seems to
realize that Paducah's weakness is in
lack Of team work, and will see that
they improve in it.

Attorneys Claim Jurisdiction
for Their Courts.
Judge Gross Holds the Pool Room
Man to Circuit Court on
Bond.
OTHER CASES IN POLICE COURT

E. NJ. Woodsll, the man arrested
yesterday for running pool room
over George Detzel's on North Fourth
street, and who was released on 5000
bond, failed to show up today and it
is supposed has skipped out.
When the case against him was
called by Acting Judge Gross in police
court this morning heated discussion
arose between City Prosecuting At
torney ]. NJ. Gilbert and County At
torney Eugene Graves as to what dis
position to make of the case.
When woodall was arrested yester-
day and gave cash bond of 5000 he
said he wanted to waive examination,
but as the court was not in session it
could not make an order holding him
to circuit court at that time, and the
bond was taken and the case was
called today, the intention being to
enter an order waving examination,
and holding him to answer.
City Prosecutor Gilbert objected to
the order being mode. He said it was
a city case and he wanted the city to
take jurisdiction in it. The second
class charter, he declared, gave cities
of this class jurisdiction in all cases
except felony, which includes all mis-
demeanors, one Of which is operating
a pool room, and he insisted that
Judge Gross hear the evidence and II
the defendant were adjudged guilty to
fine him, SO the city would get the
benefit of it.
County Attorney Graves, on the
other hand, said the city under the
constitution has jurisdiction similar
to that of magistrates, which is in all
cases in which the extreme penalty il
not more than 500 and fifty days I'm
Jail He said the city could not pre-
vent cases being held for grand jury
action when there is no specific ordi-
nance against the offense charged. and
that there is no ordinance in this case.
it being an offense covered by statute
and the prosecution being IN the name
of the commonwealth.
Prosecutor Gilbert wanted the court
to pass on the constitutionality of the
charter provision giving the city juris-
diction in all misdemeanor cases. say
ing il the provision is constitutional
the city has jurisdiction, but the
court declined to do it and sustained
Attorney Graves, entering an order
holding the defendant to answer in
the sum Of 5000. Attorney Gilbert
had his objections entered and will
take the case to the court Of appeals
on transcript.
The principal reason there is CON-
troversy in such cases, it seems, 10

The Catcher For Paducah Tried
Before Justice Young
The Prosecutors Could Not Prove
That He Played Ball Last
Sunday Afternoon.
DAMAGE SUITS TO BE BROUGHT

The anti-baseball crowd received
setback this morning in Justice Jesse
Young's court ia the trial Of baseball
players for alleged violation of the
Sabbath by doing unnecessary work.
On account of the unusual num-
Der Of witnesses and defendants JUS
tice Young held court in the council
chamber at the city hall, and there
were many spectators present. At
torneys Flournoy and Harrison ap-
peared for the defense and Attorneys
Bagby and Martin for the prosecu-
ton.
Ed Perry, catcher for the Psducah
club, was the first defendant ar
raigned. 1t was decided to try them
separately. and the jury selected to
hear the evidence against Perry was
composed of Messrs. E. Farley, Young
Taylor, Charles Croal, John Davis,
Charles Warren and W. B. Mcpherson.
The prosecution had half dozen or
more witnesses. but they could not
prove to the satisfaction Of the jury
that Perry played ball Sunday. Some
Of them who were present at the game
could not swear that he played ball,
one reason being that he looks different
in street clothes than on the ball field,
and as defendant they could not
identify him, and another being that
they could not swear positively what
day 1t was they saw him play. One
of the ball players could not swear
positively that Perry played ball be-
cause he didn't remember Sunday,
and in fact didn't know for sure what
today is.
There was considerable merriment
at times over the failing memories of
some of the witnesses. The line of
defense was that the defendants were
not guilty, and further that if they
were they did no unnecessary work,
but instead engaged in a pastime or
sport.
Speeches were made on both sides,
very able appeals, too. and the Jury
returned verdict in the Perry case
at IL 80 that he was not guilty as
charged.
The case against Pitcher Freeman
was next taken up, but on account of
the absence of witnesses all the cases
were then continued until next Tues
day morning.
Attorneys Harrison and Flournoy
are now preparing damage suits
against all the alleged instigators of
the baseball prosecutions. II was on
nounced suthoritatively today that
suits will at once be brought against
number Of we'll known men, among
them probably Messrs. b. H. Scott, ].
r. Puryear, ]. d. Smith, Walters,
kirkpatrick end others, for 81, 900 or
more each damages for alleged mali
cious prosecution. Members of the
baseball association claim that these
prosecutions are brought largely to
h:rass them, and not simply, as
claimed, that 1.-THE law be enforced.
That there is not tho same amount Of
activity displayed by these gentlemen
towards having other laws enforced
that they have singled out the baseball
players through spite and malice, to
put them to unnecessary expense and
trouble, and that they will be required
to employ counsel and fight these
damage suits in the courts in return
for the annoyance and opposition they
have displayed towards the baseball
