EELs PITCHED GOOD BALL.
Missouri Valley League Graduate
Wins First Game.

Harry Eels made good at Kansas
City on Sunday. He has pitched for
the Valley league at Joplin all season
up to yesterday, when he became a
Blue in the American association.
The Kansas City papers tie big
punches of laurel to his crown.
The following is from the Kansas
City Times:
Because Harry Eels's benderines
had the required amount of elusive
ness and also because Ward Isbell's
twisters possessed the same quality,
the Blues took both games of a
double header from the Toledo Mud
hens yesterday afternoon. The score
of the first game was to s. Eels
pitched an entirely different game
from that of his opponent. He was
as steady as cIockwork in the early
stages and held the tailenders down
to three hits and two runs until the
ninth. The first run made by Toledo
was the result of a man being hit
long single. The second came from
an error by Bonner, a gift. a dinky
single and long fly. In the ninth
Eels weakened and let the Mudhens
score i've hits, which. coupled with a
wild pitch and a man being hit by
pitched ball, Melted four runs.
The Kansas City Journal is just
as enthusiastic:
The first game marked the debut
of Pitcher Eels, formerly of the Jop-
lin Missouri Valley league team, with
the Blues, and his beginning as a full
iiedged American association pitcher
was what might be termed quite
suspicious. Eels's showing in the first
game made him solid with the fans.
He became nervous In the ninth in
ming and allowed his opponents to
score four runs from five hits. But
during the first eight innings he was
cool and steady and pitched a mas
terly game. Eels did not trot out his
full assortment of curves. He de-
pended on his great speed and his
ability to mix 'em up rather than the
of his benders. Toledo
scored only one hit up to the sixth
inning, and the two runs made by the
CHngman constellation were due to
errors.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

IFrom the New York Press.1
It's prudent to have two vices, so
that if you swear off one, you can do
the other twice as hard.
Anybody can learn how to steer
boat or an automobile. but nobody mas
yet found out how to control a woman.
The only excuse a man need offer his
wife for neglecting his business and
going to the races is to come home a
winner.
If you are bound to pick a quarrel
with your wife. the best way to begin
is to admire the good taste in dressing
of her dearest friend.

The effect of the protective duty en-
wheat, especially in its relation to the
present speculative phase of the market
is discussed by the New York Journal
of Commerce as follows: "A cores
pendent whose letter appeared in our
columns yesterday asked in substance
for an expression of opinion upon the
effect Of the protective tariff on specu-
lation in cereals and through that on
our export trade. There could be no
greater absurdity than the duty of %
cents a bushel on wheat, and its pur-
pose, like that OF all the duties on agri-
cultural products. is simply to fool the
farmer with the idea that he is sharing

no doubt we should sometimes import
wheat from the Canadian Northwest,
but it would be only to export it or it's
equivalent in our own. mostly in the
form of flour. In this there would be a
clear advantage. There is no doubt
that this duty does somewhat help

BALL GAMES EARLIER.
They VIII Hereafter Open at S:45 in
the Afternoon.

The baseball games started at 3:45
this afternoon. as they will for the re-
mainder of the season. The rays Of
the sun shoot almost straight from
west between half past and s
o'clock, and it is annoying to the
players. 1t was consequently proposed
to begin the games earlier, so as to get
through by $50 o'clock If possible.

in the interest of any particular
candidate or candidates before the
convention for which the delegates |
are to be elected. Such officers of
the primary may be elected by
viva voce vote, but the delegates to
the convention must be elected bv

such primary shall have on his bal

THE PLATFORM AS expUReAIE Ed

The anything to win" platform
adopted by the Democratic Nation
al convention will deservedly re,
ccive the boots and jcers OF the
country. Confcsscdly not a plat
form of consistency or principle,
IT is merely votc-trap so transpar-
ent that it cannot be expected even
to serve the ignoble purpose for
which il was framed.
The plank in it which will be
viewed with the most curiosity in
this region is the far-trumpetcd
"anti-polygamy" plank, which
reads as follows: We demand the
determination OF polygamy within
the jurisdiction of the United States,
and the complete separation of
church and State in political af-
fairs" This was evidently aimed
at Utah. But it adds nothing, and |
contemplatcs nothing, in addition
TO what is already on the statute
hooks. Thus, our Enabling Act re-
quired that an ordinance be inser-
ted in the Utah State Constitution
forever prohibiting polygamous or
plural marriages (see section 81
and the Constitution (article 3,
paragraph y, carries into effect
this requirement of the Enabling
Act, by declaring that "polygamous
or plural marriages are forever pro- h
hibited." And with respect to the r
second clause of the so-called anti t
polyganiy resolution, the consti- :
tuition (article |, section ~ declares =
There shall be no union OF church a
md state, nor shall any church "
the state or interfere with p
Is functions" SO that this plank =
merely demands what we already 81
ave, and it could have no further in
fleet. II was no doubt put into ca
