Before leaving for Cleveland. Bill. in
an interview with The Times, said:
although Il is hard for a player to
make his mark in baseball with the
Washington Club as It stands at pres
ent I am none too elated at leaving the
Capital City. A ball player could never
have received better treatment than that
accorded me by the Washington public.
81 am not a star ball player. but
have the common sense TO know that l
am better than some Of the third-sack-
ers. I have made good plays with the
Washington team, and have always
tried to repay them for the salary paid
me. Again. I have played extremely
bad games for the Senator'S, but instead
of that invariable knock, You're rot
ten, that is given elsewhere, was
greeted with, That's ali right. Bill;
you'll get him the next time, yer mind,
old boy; you're all right
That is the kind Of encouragement
that makes man play ball for all he
is worth, and although 7 mas never
wear a Washington uniform gain,
wish to thank the baseball public OF one
Of the best baseball towns in the United
States-provided II had a good team
for its kind treatment Of me-
Is a Good man.

Inns. COughlin has no equal in the coun-
try as a third baseman, and the price
Detroit paid for him. 5000 will likely
prove a good investment for the Tiger

Wesley Took Early Lead.

Wesley took the lead in the second ses-
sion. Singles by Smith and Spicer. Best $
error and a one-bag wallop by Benny
Wood scoring a pair of runs. In the
Sixth's half a single and a stolen base
by LaF'oe and Best's single gave the
Sixth a run. Each scored another in
the third. Wesley got its one Cramp-
tons single and Best's error, and Sixth
got one on singles by Thompson, Cor
don and LaFoe.
Sixth evened things up In the fourth
thanks to errors by Elliott and Smith.
Neither side scored again until the
seventh, when singles by Wood, Cramp-
ton. Elliott and Quantrille and Rider S
error gave Wesley three runs. Wesley
also scored three IN the next inning OF
two hits and loose work by Sixth. and
cinched the game, while Sixth was I'M

Spicer pitched a good game for the Ex-

get is: We have nothing for You:

scncc OF wSdonl. just simple hard
sense: lesson learned by rubbing up
against a busy world. that has little

asked for a place in the literary de-
partment, which proved that you had
made no investigation OF the office you
desired to enter. When questioned
you had the most hazy idea of the
position you desired to fill, and you
gave the impression that you were
looking for a soft job-that you were
born tired You really asked for
charity, for in no way did you show
or attempt TO show that you expect
TO earn any salary that might be paid
you. Listen! There are no literary
positions on the average newspaper
The man who thinks that somebody
is paid fine salary for reading the
magazines and writing notices is
badly mistaken. There are few soft
;;obs in any professor. Everybody
has to work and dig and sweat. AS

Some Reasons Why MIR. Garrls
Should be Reelected.

4 short Statement Of the work OF
the commission during the term just
served by Mr.. Garris may be OF in
terest of the people. as well as to
the interest to the candidacy OF Mr..
Garris himself in the approaching
primary. Mr.. Garris takes the po-
sition that the railroads and the peo-
pie are bound to exist together for
all time TO come, and that they should
live in friendship. if possible. 1t IS
Mt right that honest claims Of either
against the other should have 10 be
sued for and collected at great eS-
pense to both: therefore, the commits
sion can do no higher duty than to
bring, if possible. the people and the
railroads closer together. Reason
able rates only should be allowed by
the commission or desired by the rail-
roads. The average Of South Car
olina rates are now below the average
OF the rates throughout the south,
