Reed Shoots Story.

1t is said that Washingtonians have
a perfect mania for anecdote. The
easiest way for new member or SEN
atOr to become we'll known is by ca
tering TO this appetite or becoming its
victim. One of the new stories told
about a new senator is one which orig
mated with Reed SmOot of Utah. The
senator is not an orator. according to
his own judgment nor yet much of a
politician. They say no statesman is
a politician. When he started out in
the campaign Of last fall his managers,
# one may use the term, decided that
he should make his debut on the stump
in a small village in southern Utah.
That section is largely settled by Scan
dinavians. The show being free, they
came in droves. and they sat through
the candidates speech in the most i'm
passive cOmpOsure. Only one of his
auditors appeared to enjoy his jokes or
appreciate his eloquence- This was an
old man in the front row, who. as soon
as Mr.. Smoot had finished. took the
platform himself and held forth in an

fast becoming known as a Senators
defeat" The locals started out with
rush in the initial session OF the first

shoots all around the outer plot for six
hits and five runs. and it looked like
their game from the tap OF the gong

fair haired Chicago slab artist held the

across the counting pan in the third and
fifth turns at bat. and added three more
in the seventh. tying the score. At the

continued TO hit him safely in each OF

total of ten runs, while the locals had
a big job on their hands in squeezing
three runs across the rubber.
At the close of the days play many of
the local players were guyed unmerci-

Isbell was ordered out OF the first
game and elected from the grounds for
disputing a decision of Umpire Belts.
