" OU'NE often heard hard luck sto-
Ties about ball players who lost
games because they couldn't hit
a ball hard enough. That's common.
But did you ever hear o one that lost
a game because he hit il too hard?
Nights well go back to the begin
min, which was one year when we were
battling with the Cloverdales for first
place in the Corndroppers' league. and
the fight was getting very hot. sam
Merritt read 10 us out of an eastern
paper the other day of a pitcher named
Red Ames out in New York who had
invented what he called a stop ball"
and the Corndroppers' league pitchers
began 10 throw their arms out tryin' to
pitch it.
1t amt no curve nor no shoot. nor
nuthin' like uuthin' was ever invented"
said sam IT'S jest pitched right up
from the box as big as "a couple o bal
looms. and the batter sees the juice

like it was the biggest joke you ever

An then scmethin' happened. Steb-

stuck his bat out. The ball stopped,

he laced that poor. defenseless sphere
hangin' there in the air was d shame.
The bali fairly shTieked as it went
sailin' out to center. an he got a
homer.
And now as the story books say. let
Us transplant ourselves to the ring

Carrollton, March 10.-Elizabeth
T. Hites, nee Lewton, Of Malvern,
this county, has filed petition in
the local courts asking a divorce
from Cyrus j. Hitss. They were
married at Malvern in the fall of

Lewton house at Malvern for num-
ber Of years and is very well known.

down a decision today denying an
application to amend an order enter
ed by the court on February 10, in the

half of Gilbert II. NJ. Montague, tenn
porary receiver of the property Of
Mrs Elias, who wanted the order
restoring her property so altered that
a referee should decide what allow
ances should be made to him and to
reimburse him for such amounts as
he had paid out.

have to apply to the special term Of
the supreme court for an order direct
ing the appointing of a referee to go
over the accounts and show how much
ought to be paid to the receiver and
then to procure an order for the pay
ment of such sum by the plaintiff,

Likely TO Be Higher on Account Of
PoIishers Strike.
New York, March 10.-Because their
demand for higher wages was refused
them, 65 diamond polishers refused
to work in the establishment of S.
l.. Van Wezel, at No. 101 Beekman
street, closing down the shop.
The action Of the men is believed
to be the beginning of a general
strike among the members of the
diamond workers protective union.
III the strike becomes general the
price OF diamondE Will be forced up
to a higher figure than they have
ever been before.
The men asked for AN advance Of
ten per cent. Mr.. Wezel offered to
compromise by giving the men $51
per week, a slight advance over the
present wage. This the men refused
and after a conference this noon de.
cided to quit.

viii Have $500 Miles Of Track With
a Present Earning Capacity Of
$90,ooo,ooo a Year.

Washington, d. c., March 10.-Rail-
way officials here tonight explain the
big movement in the stocks of the
Chesapeake e. Ohio railway as the con-
summation of plan of the Pennsyl-
vania and Morgan-tIiil interests to Of
ganize another trunk line from New
York to Chicago with an outlet to

lowing roads; The Erie, 1000 miles Of

ing q total of $500 miles of track with
a present earning capacity of $4,000
900 year.
This plan is alleged to be a COM
munity of interest scheme to prevent

bination of Pennsylvania and New

tition in coal rates and place them at
the mercy of any rates which the rail-
way magnates see fit to make.
