mond of a crowd OF more than 1900 fol-
lowers Of the league. As a result of the
mix-up Capt Hughes and Capt Handiboe
have been suspended.
Both teams were on the alert, and con-
siderable feeling was shown from the
start. This was evident before the men
went on the field. Some little delay was
caused by the nonappearance Of Umpire
Newman and Messrs. La Favor and

and strikes, and bases, respectively,
Aloysius went TO the bat first, and Hoff-
nan drew base on balls of Haring w

two men on bases.
Aloysius Tailed again In the second,
when Gallagher hit into the right field

A NEW BRAND OF. TAKERS.

Colonel Henry Watterson. who can always be depended upon to keep fully abreast of the times. has discovered a new brand of fakers right in the ranks of his own profession. The crimes of the journalistic faker. in his estimation. are no less heinous than those of the nature fakers who put embroidery on their animal stories Colonel Watterson believes that they should be scourged from newspaper offices. scared with the same brand as the nature fakers. and denied all as- sociation with their fellows.
 The newspaper man who uses the adjective pretty" before the name of every young woman who figures in the days news comes under his definition of a faker. Likewise the man who pronounces the victim of every acci- dent fatally wounded" or who de- scribes every woman who hears bad news as "prostrated with grief" But the worst offender. according to this rigid moralist, is the reporter who calls every young child babe" He is the most interruptions faker of them all.
 This designation strikes us as slightly arbitrary. There are degrees of crime, as all must admit. but We fail to see why it is worse to use the ha tn nhf than the adjective pretty" as applied to young women. Colonel watterson intimates that brat would be a more correct term in many instances. There is a popular prejudice in the minds of most parents. however, against the word brat. and the reporter who used it might find the consequences un- pleasant to his peace of mind, and dis turbing to his status Tn the office tat employed him.
 On the whole. We are inclined to think that Colonel watterson has fail ed to snske out a case. Certain terms are employ ed by newspaper writers in . sense Webster might not cOunte- nance. but they have the sanction of Ioag usage and by courtesy have ac- gVireti a meaning which all newspa- Der readers understand and which do net deceive anybody except the most unsephisticated. Every newspaper endesvoss to impress on its writers the importance of cOnfining themselves to facts. But bare facts are relative Bsre facts, facts stripped naked, would snase dry reading, besides being un- paiatable on some occasions.
