Capt. c. E. Young, engaged with the
United States Engineering Corps in Deep

day night as he emerged from the Ludlow
High Schools entertainment The men had
been elected from the school for disorderly
corduct.
An oratorical contest was going on when
Fitzhugh and McDuff entered the building.
They were intoxicated. and when they in
terrupted the proceedings they were thrown
out. McDuff and Fitzhugh threatened to
kill the principal and every man who had
compelled them to leave.
They returned armed with shotguns and
rifles and stationed themselves under a
cluster of trees. Capt. c. E. Young, ign Dr.
ant of the danger, passed. and they opened
fire on him. AS he fell another volley was
discharged. and as the shooters ran they
emptied their weapons at the PROSTATE en-
gineer, who expired within five minutes.
He lived long enough to tell the names of
his assailants. He had been at Ludlow For
a few days only. He was in charge of the
government dredge boats at Gulfport and
had nothing to do with the election of Nc
Duff and Fitzhugh.
The men escaped. with lynching posse

CLEAN BASE BALL.
Umpire Batting Thing of the Past in
the Big Leagues

Base ball fans will be treated to unique
spectacle this year. according to all indica-
tions There seems to be apparently
honest and earnest determination on the
part of the National League, through its
president and his staff of umpires. to en-
force the playing rules during the coming
season. and to enforce them not only to the
letter. but with several letters added to the
law as 1t is printed in the books. The
American League has set good example
and the older organization was compelled
to fall In line. without detracting in the
least from the value of this innovation or
from the credit due the active agents In
producing it, it Is permissible to point out
the contrast between this state OF affairs
and that which existed some half dozen
years ago. Then there were two kinds OF
rules. One kind was meant to be enforced
and the other was not. Whatever rules had
to do with the actual play or the manufac-
ture of runs were interpreted and enforced
except where a few minor changes have
been made, in the same way and as eff
fectually as they will be this season. What
ever rules had to do with the conduct OF
players. managers and magnates before the
public were not meant to be enforced, ex-
cept In an occasional instance OF excep-
tional flagrancy. These rules were for win
ter use only, as a means Of explaining to
the patrons that the magnates meant to
keep the game clean and free from rowdy-
ism, but that the umpires did not do their
duty In summer time. hence the frequent
outbreaks. In those days It was always

The large assembly that had gathered

ness the Link-Pardello bout was doomed
to disappointment
II was rumored early in the evening
that Pardello was seen around. but at

and scientific bout.
George Boxwell. the heavyweight wres-
tier OF this city. was present to challenge
the winner of the proposed bout When 1t
Manager Weiss Immediately made arrange
ments with Boxwell to go on with Link.
A bet of 500 was made and also the re-
ceipts of the house to go to the winner.
The match was to be catch-aS-catch-can
style, with strangle-hold barred Boxwell

beautifully developed. Mr.. Harry o. Baily
was the official referee.
Boxwell straightway became the aggres.

ly easy, when Shad by one of his marvel

TO BE TAUGHT TO WALK.
Little Lolita Armour to Go to Europe
for Further Treatment.
atch from New York says:

dispatch from New York says:
Little Lolita Armour is to cross the At
lantic ocean to receive treatment from
Prof. Adolf Lorenz, whose cures of born
cripples have aroused the interest of the
civilized wo.ld. This does not mean that
the little girl must undergo second opera
ton at the hands of the surgeon. She is
going there merely to be under the care of
Prof. Lorenz, who will personally see that
she learns how to walk just as other girls
do who were not born with double disloca-
ton of the hips.
1t was agreed a year ago. when Prof Lo-
REM operated upon Lolita. that her parents
would take the little girl over to Europe
to see him within a year. He said that If
they would be over there the following May
that would be in time for him to make
second examination of her case and direct
what course I'd pursue in bringing her up.
Lolita has been able to walk since Prof.
LorenZ performed his first operation, about
year ago. She has even been taught
dancing and has taken physical culture les
sons daily 7 he only thing now is for her
to gain complete mastery of her powers of
REM believes, .that she could gain this
knowledge about the art of walking best
by being over there in Vienna, where he
has so many children learning to walk
after similar operations.
Lolita Armour is just eight years old. She
was born in 1896 with double dislocation of
the hips. Prof. Iorenz gave up profess
sorship in a great university for time to
come to America to treat her The opera
ton was performed at the home of the Ar
mours, in Chicago. on October II. 1902.
Not long after the operation Lolita Ar
mour was able to take exercise, and when
the plaster cast was removed she had the
power to rest the weight of her body upon
her legs, which had from birth been useless
to her She then began to walk other
children do.
1t has been said that Mr.. Armour paid
Prof. Lorenz S75, 600 for the operation.

contended that the club owners could sup
press rowdyism If they tried to. The con-
ditions which exist today are a standing
proof of that contention. 1t took a long
time and the convincing argument fur
nished by the remarkable success achieved
by the American League in major league
cities to prove to the old leag1ers that the
public wanted clean base ball instead of the
article euphemistically called aggressive
by its sponsors. Once they learned the les
son. however the National League mag
mates demonstrated that they can govern
the game and the players and give the fans
the wholesome amusement they demanded
years ago. So complete has been the con-
version of the National Leaguers that they
are attempting to take the lead in the mat
ter of enforcing rules, as instanced by
President Pulliam's recent instructions to
his umpires. 1t will be some years. how
ever, before the patrons of the present day
can be made to forget that President john

base ball and the first to establish the UNI
