MADE A BIG MISTAKE
That is What Baseball Expert
Says in Regard to the Kelly
Expulsion Matter.

According to Joe Cantillon. part
owner OF the Minneapolis club and now
with Washington, the American asso-
citation magnates made serious blum
der when they voted Mike Kelley out
of baseball at a recent meeting in
Chicago. Joe was friendly to Kelley
and felt that he would be reinstated
by the association instead of being
blacklisted. There was no necessity
of going to the extremes they did
against Kelley" said Joe in discussing
the matter at the Chicago meeting of
the American league. Il know it was
not the intent of all the magnates to
put Mike out of baseball for good.
They thought they We're simply bar
ring him from the association when
they voted to put him out of that or
ganization. They did not want him in
in the association, but supposed he
would be eligible to play with any 9TH
er league in the country. However,
when they heard of Ban Johnson's in
depreciation of the expulsion they saw
it in different light and some of them
felt sorry for what had been done,
They could have expelled the secre-
tary of the Minneapolis club, L. A.
Lydiard, as he was really the man at
fault for the Owens trobule, and rein
stated Mike. They could have still
kept him out of the association, but it
would have placed him right in base
ball. l really feel sorry for Mike and
hope that some action will be taken in
the near future. as it is unfair to keep
him from getting a job in other
leagues. l would like to see the as
ISOLATION reconsider the matter and
lift the ban from Kelley. This could
be done, in view of the fact that there
was misunderstanding regarding the
extent of the damage done to Kelley.
Then let Mike make a deal with the
st. Louis club and he would be in good
standing again. or in other words, re-
sort to ST. Louis, if .ney should wan,
him"

INSANITY INCREASES
Reports of Census Bureau Saws
Conditions in This Respect
Grow Worse.

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Washington, ID. c., Dec. 19-Accord-
ing to report just issued by the CEN
sus bureau insanity is ON the increase
in the United States. The report
shows that not only is insanity on the
increase, but it is increasing more
than in proportion to the population.
The figures show that there are as a
rule more insane males than females,
though in the southwest the number
of females Slightly predominates.
There is much larger per cent of in
sane foreigners than of natives, and
of the foreigners the Germans ano
Scandinavians furnish about 65 per
cent. One popularity is that insanity
among the native born population of
mixed blood is very rapidly on the in
crease.
