Larry Lajoie stands by the remarks of

The old Philadelphia Nationals were slug
gers from away back. and they were
laughed at. Cleveland has the same
style of play. and with the stars of the
league gathered on one squad they can
not win the flag. and they are not being

Some families can live and live well on
an income of s1.Go0 year. Others go into
bankruptcy on an income Of 5000. The
first family makes every dollar count
while the second lets many slip away
without getting any results to show for
them. The illustration applies TO the
White Sox perfectly. 1T is an economical
team. IL makes every hit and every run
count When a White Sox batter gets
safely to first base he is dangerous

lard PLAYERS get to first base and de there

The first recruit which the newly or
Sanized outlaw baseball organization. the

major league is Frank Donahue. the for
mer star pitcher of the Cleveland and
Detroit Americans He has agreed to
pitch this season for the Wilmington
team Of this organization. Donanue went
TO Philadelphia last fall at the end of
the American league season and an
nounced that he would not play again for
the Detroit team. He declared that he
was determined TO quit the game for
good and the announcement of Mana ger
Lawson of the Wilmington team thar
Donahpe had agreed TO play with his

Bend the foot back or shift its posi-
tion as the ball approaches.
Lunge at the ball as il trying to make
q home run.
Strike at every ball that is thrown
Rubber at the other players.
Lose your nerve after two strikes.

chop the ball so it will not pop up in

Step into the ball and meet it with your

SCHAFFER DAD OF
BILLIARD GAME
Present Style Of Play Developed
by Him from Straight
Rail Game.

When one comes to look over the list OF
the masters OF the cue and what tbev
have done TO place the game Of billiards
upon the plane II now occupies. Jake
Schaefer, ''the wizard" is deservedly en-
titled TO first place. SlOsson. Vigneaux.
Sutton. Hoppe. DAILY and the late Frank
Ives have in their day electrified the
world by their brilliant playing. but to tho
little German is due the advancement IN
the style Of play.
Starting from the old straight-raiI game,
the WIZARD SO far Outclassed other ex-
perts that the six-inch balk line style was
adopted.
This soon became Just as easy. and the
oalk was raised until Il reached the four
teen-inch. with two shots in. which held
sway for many years.
Even at this style SchaeIer Outclassed
all others. until the advent OF Ives, who
title.
Making Game Harder.
At the ordinary balk line game Ives
soon proved q hard man for Schaefer "a
dispose of. Then the Wizard perfected
the anchor play. and for time drew
to be shaken of, and he, too, took to the
anchor shot.
With these two great players standing
virtually alone the anchor shot was
barred and the box drawn. which allowed
but two shots IN the box. the same as in
ordinary bslk.
Frank Ives death at the early age Of
81 years again placid Schaefer at the top
and the balk rods increased 10 eighteen
inch, two shots in, and recently 10 egh-
teen, one shot IN.
This gave George SlOssOn n chance 70
demonstrate that his ability as a master
with the cue had not waned IL also
brought to the front George sutton and
Willie Hoppe, who are looked upon today
as the real champions.
Sutton today holds both the is.2 and ISL
championships, the first being won by
him from George SlOsson two months ago
in New York. and the latter by default
from Willie Hoppe. who forfeited the title
to accept a flattering offer in Amsterdam.
Holland, thus giving no chance for Sui
ton TO play for the honor after the accept

One Of the encouraging features of this

their interest. and many Of them indicate
their purpose to live on higher moral and
religious planes.

Suit For $I,S6O.OO Damage.

Elam T. Chance, through his attor-
neys. Martin & Ellis, filed suit on We'd
nesday, September lth, against the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway
Company for ST 800 damage.
The petition alleges that the railroad
company dug out embankments on its
right of-wsy at Elm Creek, adjoining
MIR. Chances land. that by reason Of
such displacement the channel of the
creek was changed causing the Stream to
flow through plaintiffs land, destroying
thirty acres Of corn. making a sand de-
post over 10 acres Of top soil and rem
dering it unproductive and filling two
ponds with sand. the ponds being 5OxlO
feet and l00xl50 feet large respectively.
The damage complained of was sus-
tanned in the months Of June and July.
The petition asserts that the defendant
railroad company has never made any
attempt to repair the breaks so that the
water would be turned into its natural
channel when Elm creek is high.

Commercial Club Business.

The Medicine Lodge Commercial
Club met in special session at the Club
room in the Higgins building last Thurs
day night Three material matters of in
terest were considered. The matter Of
securing laundry was exhaustively dis
cussed. Two prospective laundrymen
are accessible. One asks for a loan of
local capital to install the business while
the other has not yet formulated propo-
sition. There is no doubt that Medi-
cine Lodge with its tributary territory
could support Steam laundry and a man
with capital who understands the busi-
ness could get quick returns by engaging
IN the business in our growing city. Lo-
cal men Of means could help this matter
along by making loan without great
danger Of losing out, but that is a tick
lish proposition and there is little likeIi-
hood Of such result. However, the
agitation is on and there are good pros
poets Of securing the establishment.
The question Of securing the vacant
lots north Of the Lovejoy building on
north Main street for building site for
the Library building was taken up. R.
H. Faxon Of the committee on public
affairs, has had considerable correspond
'ence with the owner Of the lot needed
to complete the deal. The matter Of
price is still unsettled but there is strong
probability that the parties will get to-
ðer. The school district owns lot
and half that is also desired but there
