FINDING OF PHILIPPl
Famous Pittsburg Twlrler Start.
ed With Mankato.
Special to The Globe

Speclal to The Globe.
SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Oct 13.-Inas-
much as Philippi, the famous pitcher of
the Pittsburg ball team of the National
league, has won new fame by his ex-
traordinary work in the series of games
now being played between the Pittsburg
team and the Boston nine of the American
league for the championship of the world,
the people of this state are proud of the
fact that he is a product of South Da-
kota.
Various stories have been written as to
how he was found and induced to fol-
low pitching as an occupation. Needless
to say, practically all of these are err
roneouS.
Capt. Jack Messerly, who captaineG
the Sioux City team of the Iowa. South
Dakota league during the season of 1902,
was at the head of the Mankato. Mimi,
team a number Of years ago. One day
product of the farm appeared at the
hotel where the Mankato team was stop
ping and sought out Capt. Messerly and
asked for a position on the team.
Messerly and the other members Of the
team We're always on the alert for
''rubes," and the stranger was "sized-
up" as a member of that class. An ap-
pointment was made for the stranger to
meet the gang the next day at the ball
grounds.
He appeared in cowhide boots, a blue
flannel shirt and blue jeans, cut off at
the knee. He was asked by Messerly
what he could do and replied that at his
home in South Dakota he had posed as
something of a pitcher.
Messerly set him on the plate to pitch
for his gang Of hitters The stranger,
who proved to be the now famous Phil
ippi, made monkeys of Messerly's gang
and he was Immediately engaged as a
pitcher.
Thus it was with Mankato that Philippi
made his first professional appearance.
Later he drifted to the Red River Valley
league. afterwards being captured by Walt
Wilmot, of the Minneapolis club. Since
then his rise has been rapid. Philippi's
parents reside on a farm near Ashton
was raised on farm. He invariably
spends his winters with his parents on
tho farm

HOW ID KILL THE
 DOG A PROBLEM Humane Society is Anxious for
 a Painless Execution 0WNERLESS OURS DOOMED Society Has Become an Important Fac tor in Police Administration and
 Is Doing Good Work Against
 Cruelty to Animals.
OWNERLESS OURS DOOMED

Now that the time has come when own- erless dogs are sent to that bourne whence no doggie returns. the question as to the mode of execution is of un- usual importance The Humane Society is deeply interested in the subject, and is anxious that approved and merciful methods be employed in the treatment of the unfortunate animals that must be made away with in the interests of the public
 In the interests of humanity and for the good name of Birmingham they in- sist that the methods obtaining in past years must be.changed and that proper pound shall be provided in which the dogs may be kept while awaiting redemption or execution, and that nitrous oxide or some other painless agent be used In killing them.
 While the Humane Society has been in existence here for some time, 1t Is only within the last few months that 1t has really become a factor in the police ad- ministration of the city
 The society operates under Section All of the Municipal Code, and Section 5Oss or the Criminal Code of Alabama, and the officers are as legally constituted peace officers of the municipality as any other of the members of the police force Un- der the provisions of the law, every act of cruelty to any living thing, be 1t child or an animal, Is misdemeanor and 1t is the duty of every police officer to arrest anyone who commits an in- fraction of the law in his presence, and any citizen can call on an ofncer to make such an arrest.
 The Society is eager to recruit It's mem bership, for every member is special officer to prevent cruelty and bring or lenders to punishment
 Two of the immediate reforms that the society hopes to bring about are in the interest of horses. They hope that the owners of fine horses and stylish turnouts will of their own motion do away with the high check rein, but IF they do not an example, Secretary Ben ners says, will be made in at least one of the most fragrant cases. The associa- tion is also agitating the matter of water ing troughs throughout the city, as the horsese suffer greatly through lack or opportunity to drink.
 The society has since February caused an average of twenty-five offenders each month to be brought before the courts, and in ninety per cent of the cases they have succeeded fin obtaining convictions.
 The society hopes to obtain office room In the city hall. and is making strenuous efforts in that direction, as they are now practically homeless

PIG IRON MARKET
 IS STILL WAITING
ACTUAL TRANSACTIONS ARE CON- FINED TO SMALL oRDERs-BET- TER PRICES MAY COME LATER IN THE SUMMER.

Rogers. Brown & Co.'s Cincinnati report on the iron market, dated yesterday, fol- lows:
 The most important inquiry in the cen- tral territory during the past week was for a round lot of Nos. 8 and 4. either southern or northern for July and August delivery. The closing day of the deal was postponed from time to time and the consumer at last decided to buy only enough to run him during portion of July. He seemed to have been induced to this course by reports that lower prices would soon obtain. Limitations have been put out that the furnaces associated in the south would not be content with let ting others get the current business, but If the anticipated strike of coal miners takes place on July 1 it is not thought that the southern producers will change their prices until the matter is settled.
 A conservative foundryman has well ex- pressed the situation by saying that 1t looks to him as if the consumers were over-discounting the probable decline in iron as has usually been done heretofore. when prices have been forced below actual cost of production and orders withheld until general movement was sprung up, which has resulted in range of prices higher than normal.
 The determination is quite freely ex- pressed on the part of producers to stop furnaces and cease operations whenever their present orders are exhausted and selling price is less than cost. They do not propose to disslpate the earnings of the past few years in attempting to keep in operation during dull times.
 The actual transactions of the week have consisted mostly of small orders for delivery during the next sixty days at somewhat lower prices than have here tofore prevailed.

 Some of them say that Wise did not do the proper thing in going to the hotel as he did. Well, I don't know what you think, but I thing the proper thing to have done was to go down there with a doube-barreled shot gun with about eigh- teen buckshot in each barrel.
 pDo you believe that Wise was beat Ing Lathem over the head with a slung shot? Are you going to let these sharp, shrewd lawyers stuff that down your There is not word of truth In 1t and I'll tell you why. Because all the evidence shows that Lathem was leaning over with his face down while Wise was striking him and the doctor said that the blue bruised places were on his brow There Is not particle of evidence that Wise ever struck Lathem in the Hace.
 Why didn't they ask Dr. McAdory what kind of weapon made the bruises ? Because It Is reasonable to suppose that they knew the answers he would make.
