Grover Land at Home.

Grover Land, who was graduated
from the Kitty league and went into
the American Association after two
years service in the smaller league,
proved an attraction at Frankfort,
his home, as the following dispatch
printed in the Louisville Herald will
show. Land was with Toledo and
played with his old team mate, Red
Bohannan, of the Nashville Southern
league team:
Eight hundred people braved the
threatening weather at Frankfort
yesterday afternoon to see the team
at the Capitol city defeat the Kodas,
of Louisville, by score OF Z to l..
Grover Land, of the Toledo American
Association team, did the backstop
work for the Frankfort team, and his
clever work was revelation. The
grounds were In poor condition from
hard rains Saturday night but this
did not prevent the Frankfort infield
from doing some remarkable work.
'fRed" Bohannon, a Southern Lacquer
and a brother of Pat, accepted eight
chances at short, many Of them diff
cult, without the semblance of an
error. For six innings the game was
close and exciting, but in the seventh
and eighth Rapier weakened, and
Frankfort piled up five runs. Will
liams pitched great game and re-
ceived excellent support. Grant
made some supebr pickups at first for
the Kodas. The same teams will
probably meet again next Sunday.
Score:
Frankfort, Z; Kodas, 1. Batteries

Exciting Novel by oppenheim.

Novel readers everywhere will be
glad to have a tip on the brilliant
new romance, The Great Secret, !"
by Il. Phillips Oppenheim, author of
"a Prince of Sinners" "The Mysteri-
Gus Mr.. sabin" and other noted
books. Suppose YOU were quietly un-
dressing in your room at a London
hotel when suddenly a terrified man
rushed in, locked your door, and
told you that the men outside were
going to kill him. Suppose you liked
the mans looks, so that your fight
ing blood was up to defend him.
What would you do when his enc
mics burst in your door and tried to
drag him off without law or warrant?
And suppose the man possessed
some momentous secret which made
him the victim of an international
conspiracy, and that a beautiful AM
erican girl seemed to be one of the
conspirators. Interesting, Is II not?
Well. that Is only a hint of the first
chapter, and the story carries one

Jack Mice in the Ring.

"Jack Mizee," whose real name is
Ernest Brown, a Paducah boy, is still
winning laurels In the prize ring.
Mice formerly was physical direc-
tor of the Paducah Athletic associa
tion in 1898 and 1899, when Jack
Bolan, of Cincinnati fame. was
fighting here. Mizee's great stunt
was letting a 50-pound weight sus
pended feet above him drop on his
stomach. He was an exceptionally
strong man.
The Cairo Bulletin says of Mizee's
latest match:
Frank Baston and his manag r
Jack Tiernev OF Terre Haute, are In
the city. Baston is matched to meet
Jack Mice this week in a twenty-five
round bout. He feels confident oil
winning as he is in first-class condi.
tion. Mice and Baston met in Q
ten round bout recently and fought
to a draw. although many witnesses
thought Baston entitled to the decis
ion. This contest will undoubtedly
settle the dispute.

Responsibility Of the Press.

It is evident that the issues of SEN
sational extras by the newspapers in
Atlanta Saturday evening had much
to do in inhaming the mob spirit in
that city. The Methodist ministers
In their Monday morning meeting
adopted resolutions deprecating such
sensational presentations as exciting
passion and violence. Mayor Wood
ard declared his condemnation of the
newspaper extras issued Saturday
night and said, "Many OF the reports
that were published we're not only
fuel to the fire, but entirely false. 1t
is 10 be hoped in the future that the
papers will be exceedingly careful
what they publish when the news
touches on anything like the cause OF
riot" The grand jury of Fulton
county Monday adopted the follow
ing resolution:
Resolved, by the grand jury of
Fulton county, That the press OF the
city be urged to abstain from the
publication of all sensational and IN
flammatory news matter; to discon-
tinue the publication of extras in
reference to prevailing local condi-
tons; to publish no rumors until
such rumors are first Investigated and
found to be true; in short. to use con
servatism and discretion in the treat
ment of all facts relating TO the con
ditions now confronting us"
The Atlanta Georgian in its Mon
day issue publishes the following
cord: "In justice to itself the Geor-
gian feels bound to say that II is free
from any of the responsibility of in
flaming the mob on Saturday night.
II is the general i'm. ression that the
newspapers are responsible for a
great deal of the suffering and death,
because of their extras with glarlng
headlines, etc. The Georgian printed
no extras during the trouble. nor
shall we print any until it is over. -

The Kitty league next season will

operated whether Vincennes is a
member. All other cities in the
league are anxious to be in the Or
ganization next season and Cairo
came prepared to put up a $1,000
guarantee to remain in the organiza-
ton. Paducah also sent word that
she could be counted upon for next
year. 1t was announced that Deca-
tur, Centralia and Marion, H., would

ally it was agreed that the 1907
league consist of eight clubs and
there is no question but that 1t will.
1t was also determined that the guar
antee be 1000 instead of $500, as 1t
was this past season.
II was stated by one member of the
league that Terre Haute and Evans
vile would be made Kitty LEAGUE

these two cities had league baseball
next season it would either be outlaw
