There is no one who can sue

from vicious acts, whose thoughts
dwell without restraint upon un'

And only those who are pure
in heart, will be chaste in action,
ffCr the mind must be educated
to love and to dwell upon pure
subjects, in early life, inordcr
that the will power may be able
to educate these pure thoughts.

cured an injunction restraining Capt.

To Go at Sheriff's Sale.

Philadelphia, Pa, Oct. 14.-To salts
fly judgment notes aggregating 100000
the Philadelphia National league base
ball club will be sold at sheriff's sale.
Action has been brought by Arthur f.
Newbold, as trustee for the stockhold-
ers, and announcement of the public
sale will be made by the sheriff within
a few days. President Potter. of the
club, said the action of Mr.. Newbold
is founded upon certain loans made by
him and others to the club in Novem-
her. 1908. and during the spring of the
present year. The loans amounted to
about 100000. AS the stock of the
company is full paid no assessments
could be levied, and, the past season
being prOfitless. the club could not re-
pay its loans. Additional loans would
be necessary to continue next season.
Mr.. Potter said. and many of the stock
holders insisted upon Mr.. Newbold
proceeding against the company b
action.

and one-half rounds of the most scien-
tifiC fighting ever seen in this city, Abe
Attell went down before Brooklyn
Tommy" Sullivan. claiming a foul,

landed on Abe's belt. From the ring
side the blow appeared TO be fair. At
tell instantly went TO the floor, how
ever. while Referee Sharpe sent Sulli-
van TO his corner. Drs. Heinemarks

MORE TALK ABOUT A FIGHT:
BUT ALL BELIEVED IDLE
Rockford Correspondent Says Legal
Action is to be Instituted Against
Directors of Three-Eye.

According to a dispatch appearing
in the Chicago papers the Rockford
Baseball association. at a meeting yes
terday afternoon, voted to bring an &C
ton against the Three-Eye league to
prevent the transfer of the franchise
heretofore held by that city TO Peo-
ria
The tone of the discussions in the
Rockford papers is contradictory to
the dope sent to the metropolitan pa
pers. The papers there say there are
a few of the more enthusiastic fans
who would like to fight, but the ma
jority representing the conservative
element take a common sense view of
the situation, and agree that the di-
rectors of the league were privileged
TO act as they did with reference to
the placing of the franchise in another
city. II was not done through spite,
as some want to believe. 1t was sim
Eply business proposition. Rockford
had not been delivering the goods.
Rockford has been basing its claims
on a resolution passed at the 1902
meeting held in ST. Louis pledging the
eight cities to remain together four
years.
