JACK HICkEY'S DELIVERY

stated Jack Hickey yesterday after
noon following numerous kicks
about the ease with which he catch
es runners on first base. The rule
says balk is when the pitcher
when once In the position he usuas
ly adopts for delivery fails to i'm
mediately deliver the ball to the
plate. Hickey's position for deliv-
cry is facing the batter But he
gets there by facing first base and
rubberlng at the others. He makes
a good throw either from facing
first, second or the plate. It's a
difficult proposition to say whether
Jack balks or not. Frary says not,
and as Frary is boss carpenter now,
what he says goes.

tunity-they can wait till prices
have touched bottom and then gain
in the market tens of millions on a
recovering market. Possibly some
such policy as this may partly ex.
plain why 1.-The system" is not sup
porting the market.
If Mr.. Roosevelt could be humil-
lated and a great profit heaped up
by using the tremendous power in
the hands of "the system" to wreck
the industries of this country, who
believes that these men would hest
tate to use the power?
This administration has not made
a raid upon legitimate enterprise. 1t
has onl ysought to bring to light
and punish the unlawful practice by
which "the system" and kindred ag-
gregations of power have succeeded
in throttling competition, in fact
driving their competitors out of
business. 1t has determined that
the law of the land shall be en-
forced against rich and poor-this
Is the head and front of the offense.
The people who are promoting
this panic have no complaints
against the administration except
that it Is enforcing the law of the
land.
do not think the people of this
country are likely to be deceived in
this matter. They know what Theo-
dore Roosevelt stands for and they
know what John d. Rockefeller
stands for, and it is quite possible
that the desperate attempt Of these
financial pirates to deal destruction
around the land may have a differ
ent issue from that which they in
tended.
If the lines are clearly and sharp
ly drawn between the things for
which Theodore Roosevelt stands
and those for which John D. Rookie
Teller stands, it is not improbable
that the people of this country will
compel Theodore Roosevelt to re-
call his refusal to serve for third
term and will require him to fight
this battle to the bitter end. The
battle has got to be fought out
now, and it might be within the
power of "the system" to force Mr..
Roosevelt. much against his will, to
stay in the fight until it is finished.

Here's funny thing-Seattle has

In other words. Aberdeen has 1t

kane. and yet Spokane has 1t on
Aberdeen. Substitute Butte for
Spokane and you have a duplicate
of the same freak. How can you
account for that state of affairs.

JIMMY CARROLL

Contrary to Bob Fitzsimmons, who
flnds himself almost penniless in
his declining days. Jimmy Carroll

to youthful scrappers of the pres

Since he won his title in the last
Olympic club boxing tournament
held In this city, Carroll has been
considered a star of the first mag
nitude, and promoters of the anna
teur' game have bid high for his
services, for Jimmy always figures
in the event of the evening""
Now, the amateur game in San
Francisco is amateur in namp only
the only difference between 1t
and the professional sport being
that the boys fight for smaller
purses and the bouts only go 4

lions share.
But the midget didn't elbow" his
money. He saved it. In one
years time he had enough coin of
the realm In the bank to buy lot
in the outskirts OF the city--also to
take unto himself a wife.
Then the youngster started to
build a home on his property. Az
ter every scrap Jimmy would pur-
chase an installment of lumber.
Fight by fight. he earned flooring,
back porch and roof until today the
lad has a neat little home of his
own on his own real estate. He
built the house himself, assisted by
Jim Ford, another local four
rounder.

Jack Is too fat now to field his po-

Jack pitched the closing inning
