WHAT A CATCHER SHOULD BE

Jack Warner, the catcher of the De
troits, said recently, discussing the posi-
ton he holds:
lone of the important diamond positions
is that behind the bat. a catcher must
have baseball intelligence, grit, accuracy
height, weight and a strong arm
ANY catcher with these requisites, and
if he can hit some besides. is sure to hold
his own in any company.
"Headwork is q prime factor a catch
er must work in harmony with his pitch
er. and there must be a perfect under
standing between the two. He must sig
nal carefully, and watch every move on
the diamond. a catcher adds to his worth
by studying the batsman and acquaint-
ing himself with the weak points Of the
hitter. After you know these it is "a COM
paratively easy matter to fool a number
Of them.

II IT HAPPENS

TIM HURST GETS
IT FROM JOHNSON
Case of Fines Reversed and
Umpire Is Suspended for

A new order Of things was iuaugurated
In the baseball world last week when Ban

league. announced that Tim Hurst, the
strenuous umpire who started a fist com
bat with Clark Griffith at American
league park last Monday, had been sus-

once started a wordy war between the
fans as to which was the proper course

pended its players for abusing the UNI

which suspended Umpires for refusing to
take abuse from players
Tim Hurst's offense is almost too we'll
known in baseball circles to call for rem

Hurst followed with a dignified stride

Durable Dane Establishes
Training Quarters in Tent
to Accommodate Public.

Los Angeles, Nay 19.-The tent that
Lucky Baldwin has had erected for Bat
ting Nelson's gymnasium is none too
large for the purpose, although of pro
portions ample enough to contain more
than a thousand people.
Every afternoon the battler's camp is
the scene of d gay and fashionable gath
ering Of local ring enthusiasts and their
women folk.
It is hardly an exaggeration to say that
it has become society fad to make the
trip out to Baldwin's ranch in the after
noon to watch the little Dane go through
his training stunts
Lucky has taken a great fancy to the
little fighter and is very fond Of discus
sing training methods with him
The great horse owners advice to Nell
son is not to do too much routine work
He says that too much routine tends to
make work monotOnous and that a lack
of interest and consequent staleness is
sure to result.
Bat realizes this and goes in for all
kinds of out of door exercises. He pitches
hay in the fields. drives a wagon, drawn
BY two frisky mules, and rides horseback
every day.

The action was taken upon instruc-s

had been cited to appear lin court to
show why he had not made a report,
and to explain what he had done with
the money. AS soon as 1t was estab
lished that the money was gone Judge
Bollinger sent word to County Attor-
ney Albert Hamann to have the war
rant sworn out and to take the de-
faulting guardian into custody. Judge
Waterman appeared on behalf of the

BY the last report it was shown that
Hamann had nearly $1,000 of the lads

over $1,000 Burris in The meantime

Judge that he had used the money in
his business, that he had turned the
business over to his parents estate,
and that he had note for the money.
His explanation failed to establish
where the money was or that it might
be secured, and the arrest followed.

Waterloo, Dec. 22.-This city pleads

in the box can only be estimated, but
1t is believed there was between $40
and SIS, for the railroad men had con-
tributed literally and several half dol
lars and quarters We're among the
coins. Secretary Harker had been
calling the attention of the boys to
the box and asking their aid in
Frightening the cheerless hearths of the
destitute and he prided himself upon
the generosity Of the members Of the
association and their friends.
The box, which was a tia affair, had
been placed in position easily access
sible and could have been whisked I'M
der O coat or wrap without detection.
The nature of the fund and the pur-
pose to which 1t was to be devoted
should have been sufficient guard

SO void Of the. spirit Of charity or en-

worthy as that promoted by the Saliva
ton Army
When the residents of the railroad
section heard of the theft their ire was
aroused and threats were made of tar
and feathers for the scamp. 1t took
but few minutes to ascertain the
feeling of the railroad boys toward the
Army and everyone has en-
listed his sympathy with the cause.
One merchant offered to make dona-
ton toward the prosecution Of the
thief. This is the second offense of a
similar nature, the Army box having
been stolen from west side business
house a couple of years ago. The Of

Rainsbarger Brothers Succeed
in Overcoming Some Oppo-
sition to Release
WILCOX WON'T STAND IN WAY
Former Sheriff Of Hardin County and
Judge Stevens, Who Were Instru-
mental in Prosecution, Will Be Neu-
tral-Representative Dow Says Leg
isiature Will Not Pardon.
Special to Tlmes-Republlcan.

| Des Moines, Dec. 22-Chances are
| looking brighter for the two Rainsbar-
gers, Frank and Nate, who are seeking
| pardons at the hands of the legisla-
ture. w. v. Wilcox, who was sheriff
of Hardin county during the reign of
the Rainsbargers, said yesterday that
he would make no fight against their
pardon by the legislature this winter.
Judge John II. Stevens, Of Boone,
who was interested in the trial of the
case of the Rainsbargers in Marshall
they We're given life sentences, said In
Des Moines yesterday that he would
take no hand in advancing or retarding
the effort of the brothers to secure
release from the penitentiary.
Il feel, however" said Judge Stew
ems, that so far as they personally
are concerned they would not do per-
sonal violence to any of the people In
terested in securing their conviction.
That spirit,I believe. the prison life for
twenty years has effectively dissipat-
ed"
1t is not known whether the wife and
daughter of Frank Rainsbarger will
continue their opposition to the par
don or not. They have not been heard
from. They fought bitterly against the
pardon being granted by the legisla-
ture.
Representative Dow of the house
committee on pardons was in the city
yesterday. He said that 1t was quite
useless to bring either the Busse or the
Rainsbarger cases again to the atten-
ton Of the legislature.
1t was disclosed yesterday that Mrs.
Enoch Johnson, the wife of the man
that the Rainsbargers were sent to
prison for life for numbering, endeav-
ored to make a confession on her death
bed last summer. She sent for the
Baptist minister. when she felt that she
was about to die. and intended fully to
tell him all about the case, but died
before he reached her bedside. She left
the home Of Johnson the night that he
was murdered and went to another
town where she remained in hotel till
O'clock in the morning, not retiring at
all, and then returned to her home TO
find her husband dead. The theory of
the prosecution always was that she
knew that the Rainsbargers proposed
to kill Johnson and that she had been
warned to leave the house and remain
away until the deed was done. The
reign of terror which the men main
tanned in Hardin county may have af-
fected her as 1t did pretty nearly every
one else But whatever she knew about
the case she desired to tell to the
world, on her death bed, but death
came too quickly and she died with
sealed lips.
The Rainsbargers always have pro-
tested their entire innocence of the
cri,na
