TEAM TO BE RECORD BREAKER

The baseball season in Kenosha
will be opened one week from tomor-
row when the new Kenosha baseball
team will report at the park for the
first practice game. Manager Breen
completed the work OF signing his
team on Friday and he has brought
together the strongest aggreg alton of
ball players ever signed for Keno
sha team. Every man is star in his
position and the manager claims that
Kenosha will have the strongest semi
professional team in the northwes
No money has been spared in bring
ing the men together and all parts of
the country have been searched to get
the men. Several of the men have de-
clined contracts with the major
leagues this year on account of the
fact they are unwilling to give up all
of their time to baseball.
The make up of the team as an
nounced this morning by Manager
Breen is as follows: Catcher, AL
Hea1y; pitcher, s'Pat" Mccarthy;
first base, 'Big" Bill Knipp1e; second

short stop, Bush; left field, Loeb1e;
center field, Walter Breen; Bushman
and Smith will play the other out
field. Most Of the men are well known
to the ball fans in Kenosha. Breen
who has not been noticed in the
last few weeks comes from the Kansas
league where he has been playing for
the past three seasons, and in each
season he has held the highest batting
average in the league.
The entire team will report at Keno
sha week from tomorrow for practice
and the season will be formally
opened in Chicago on Easter Sunday
when the team will meet Callahan S
All Chicago team. The second game
will be played on the home diamond
on the following Sunday when the
Union Giants Of Chicago will come
here for the first Of the regular SEIZED
uled games.
Manager Breen has just completed
the organization of team to be
known as "The Brands" This team
will play preliminary game at the
park every Sunday afternoon, the

Chas. Meyers Gets Tangled mp With
the Elevator at the Meyers Block
Charles Meyer, who is in charge of
the Meyers block, had both his hands
badly crushed in the elevator at the
building on Friday afternoon. Meyers
had been on the fourth floor Of the
building and a call coming from be-
low, he entered the elevator and
started it downward. He discovered
that the door to the shaft had not
been closed and made an effort to
start the car up again. Ia some way
he lost complete control of the car and
it went for the roof like a shot.
Meyers held on to the cable and his
hands we're caught between the big
iron bolts on the cable and the floor
of the elevator. Both hands were
badly crushed but no bones were
broken. He will probably be laid up
for several days as a result of the ac-
cident. The elevator is also dis
abled and the people having Offices
ia the big building we're forced to
climb the stairs today.

DEFEAT RACINE KNIGHTS
Kenosha knights of Columbus Base
Bali Team Victorious Friday Night

Kenosha indoor base ball players
added another victory to their credit
last night when the team represent
ing the Kenosha chapter of the
Knights of Columbus defeated the
Racine knights at the Lake Side
auditorium in Racine by a score Of 9
to z. The game was one Of the best
ever seen in Racine. The Racine
Knights are accused of having Sc
cured professional battery for the
game but this fact failed to land them
as winners. Burke and Tully were
the battery for the Kenosha team and
they put up a brilliant game. Burke
had the best of the argument from
the start and kept the Racine men
guessing all during the game.
About twenty-five of the local mem
bers Of the order went up to attend
the game and they were royalty en-
tertained by the Racine Knights.

Control Of Eastern Asia.

For many centuries while both Jap
an and China were left 10 their own
resources, physical and mental, the ma
ton which was far the greater in bulk
was also much the stronger in wax.
Then Japan was more than once in
peril of invasion and possible conquest
by armies from China There was no
chance that China could be subjugated
by Japan. What reason is there AZ
there to doubt that If the Chinese trn
their faces resolutely toward they
present needs and adopt western ways,
at least in military matters, they can
restore their old supremacy in eastern
Asia? If so, what will that mean to
the world? This is the great, over

SKIN GRATING NECESSARY

johnson A. Jackson, the we'll known
manufactures who was recently oper-
ated on at the Pennoyer Sanitarium,
is getting along as well as could be
expected, but he is suffering from a
decidedly sore arm.
At the time the physicians operated
on Mr.. Jackson it was discovered that
it would be necessary to graft four
inches Of skin IN order to close up a
large wound in the scalp. Mr.. Jack
son did not desire to ask any Of his
friends to contrib tie cuticle to close
up the wound, but he barred his own
arm to the knife and the skin removed
from the arm was grated on to the
scalp. The scalp wound is now heal
ing perfectly, but Mr.. Jackson is suf-
fering from a very sore arm.

in a House friendly to him.

There was no question that Patter-
son would be seated until Carmack
| arose to plead his own cause He de-
livered such a speech that he took the
House by storm, and the astounded
Patterson was turned out. The occa-
sion was compared by historical stu
dents with that famous occasion when
Sergeant Prentiss delivered a wonder
full speech, two-thirds of century ago
to House which intended to give the
contested seat to another. The par
allel was fair, except that Prentiss'
speech came within a vote of winning
the seat for him, while Carmacks
won it.
AS Senate debator Carmack is not
approached by anybody on either side
for his power of putting an entire ar
gument into a few II enchant phrases.
Take, for example, his utterance in
one of the debates on the Philippine
question. Men who did not agree
with him can still admire the force
with which he put his case.

Beveridge) says that the Nation will
not beat a retreat. That sounds fine,
it sounds brave, but is it a retreat to

to the right?. If so, its brave mans

put the Republicans, even the great
Spooner, into ugly situations.
Bailey has forced the fighting ever
since the practical elimination of Cor
man as leader Gulherson, though his
work has attracted little attention,
has been a thorn in the Republican
side because Of his complete command
of facts and the terrible efficiency
with which he uses them. Rayner
has made only one speech, but it was
enough to show that the Democrats
had received a powerful acquisition.
On the Republican side there is
nothing to counterfeit the growth of
the three Senators first named and
the addition of Rayner. Spooner in
variably is put forward as spokesman,
even for things he does not believe
in, because no one else on the Repub |
lican side can be trusted to meet the
of the Democratic leaders.

nave been arguing that Carmock
might be a brilliant Senator, refteat-
ing credit on his State, but that he
was unpopular at the White House
and could not get enough patronage
for his constituents. Carmack's re-
duction of this argument was:

Minority Needs Its Strong Men.

Minority Needs Its Strong Men.
The Senate Democrats are enjoying
the situation. Naturally they do not
want any of their strong men taken
away and they want to get as many
more as possible. Hence it is that
they are viewing with some dis
! quietude the inroads that are accred-
tied to "Fiddling Bob" upon the fol-
lowers of the brilliant Carmack. Not
all of them love Carmack, but none
wants to see the front ranks of the
Senate Democracy diminished by one
strong man.
Tennessee has sent some able men
to the Senate. The name of Isham
G.. Harris still echoes and the al
lusions to him are as if he still were
here, though it is nine years since he
passed away. 1t has become the Gus
tom with many Southern States to
replace the old brilliant breed with
commonplace men, or at best with
men Of fair ability, but Tennessee
has not as yet yielded. She has sent
greater men than Carmack, but she
never has sent a mau who SO quickly
won or more tenaciously held a place
among the strong men of the Senate.
In Mr.. Carmack's first Senatorial
year he became one of the four re-
gents who ruled the minority in de
fault of a real leader. James K.
Jones of Arkansas, a fine old gentle
man and a highly incompetent cap
tain was the nominal leader. Events
pushed Jones out of the way, left him
the empty title, and brought to the

day.
There is nothing ponderous about
Carmack. He is a fighter. He is
brilliant without being superficial He
is summed up most accurately by an
other brilliant Tennessean, the late r.
M. Norman, in a book published by
o, O. Stanley of this city:
'He revels in the roar and blaze at
the front. He delights to give thrust
for thrust, and the rasping Of the
swords only sharpens his steel for
another fight. In debate he yields no
blunt broadsword He cuts with the
keen potts Of the rapier. Inactive and
eloquence are employed with equal
ease. Humor and sarcasm are his
sidearms"
When he first came to the front in
the Senate his tempestuous style of
fighting attracted Republican oppo-
nents as molasses attracts flies. lie
was continually the centre Of a fight
Sometimes temperament betrayed hira
into saying things which in cooler mo
ments he regretted. Then did Car
mack demonstrate the full measure of
his manhood, for, no matter what tho
effort cost him, he apologized-- not
privately, but publicly before the Sen
ate which had heard him say tie
thing. One such occasion
was when Dolliver made an insulting
speech about him Carmack's reply
was;
Il did not call the Senator from Iowa
to order because I know that to re-
1uire him to speak the language Of /
1ecency and courtesy in debate would /
be to condemn him to absolute sill
ence for the rest of his life"
In cool blood Carmack knew that re
should not have said this. and he was
nan enough to rise next day AMI re-
ract it.
