BEST PLAYERS TODAY
Fielder Jones Says Old Time
Stars Are Outclass9d.
GREAT ADVANCE IN PITCHING.

Captain Manager of the Worlds
Champions Can't See How Former
Players Compare With Moderns.
The Spit Ball Big Factor Nowadays.
Fielder A. Jones. captain and man
ager of the Chicago White Sox,
worlds baseball champions, takes ex-
ception to statements that the players
Of today are not in class with those
Of twenty or thirty years ago.
1T is ridiculous to say that the play
ers of to day are not far in advance
Of those of twenty-five years ago."
said the great center fielder The
game has improved in every depart
ment. The trouble with any man who
contends that the players of old out
ciassed those Of today is this: In the
old days there We're about fifteen or
twenty good players and those few
showed the others up. Nowadays ev-
cry man must be star or he does not
play. That is why there are no bright
particular stars that shine out by
themselves. Every man is a star and
he Is playing such magnificent ball
that a great play is forgotten from day
to day by the ever happening features
in almost every game
AS to the pitchers of today not COM
pairing with those of old, it is to laugh.
In the olden times there were just one
or two who stood out alone. Today
can name fifty pitchers who stand out
in the limelight. Also who ever heard
of the spit ball twenty years ago?
In my mind it is the greatest ball ever
served to a batter. Look at the men
who are the stars in this particular
line today and you will see the best
pitchers in the business. OF course
there are others who are great pitch
ers, but in years to come believe
the spit ball will be the only ball.
go back twenty years and show me
list of pitchers who classed with Ma
thewson, Walsh, Brown Howell, Ew-
ing, Waddell, Ortiz, JOSS Plank, CIV
Young, Mullin, Altrock, White, Over

Bender, Tannehill and score of 9TH
ers. 1t cannot be done. Also let the
teams of today attempt to pull off some
of those old tricks and see how far
they could get with them.
"Tlle team work of today far eNcels
that of twenty years ago. Some of the
players nowadays have forgotten more
than those old players knew. 1t is sci
entific ball today.
Team work counts, and when they
work together and when the pitchers
are good it gives the public the great
est sport known to mankind. Men to-
day also take care of themselves bet
ter than they did twenty years ago.
They are trained now like race horses
and are fit to go any distance.
Also, the rules have made the game
stronger and more difficult, and if the
old teams of twenty-five or thirty years
ago would play ball today as they did
then they wouldn't win one game in
twenty in my opinion.
II am not trying to take any of the
glory away from those old players who
We're stars in their days. True, they

PERT PARAGRAPHS.

Realizing ideals isn't always what it
Is cracked up to be.
Looking out for themselves seems to
be the way lots of people take care OF
the poor.
Don't get mad unless you feel sure
that you cam make it operative.
People who have a winning way are
apt to be poor losers.
Some people appear to think that if
they owe duty to others it is up to Ine
others to call and collect.

A NARROW ESCAPE.

1t is just coming to light what a
narrow escape from death or injury
our beloved pastor, Rev. Lacey and
his wife had on their trip to the Den
ison Chautauaua. They had driven
across hurriedly to reach the session
at 2:30 and were at the Cochran cross
ing of the double track of the North
western near Denison. A long
freight train was going west into the
station and just after the last car
went over the crossing. Rev. Lacey
came up to pass over the tracks. He
was about to do so. when the rear
brakeman rushed out and called loud
~. and waved his hands. Rev. Lacey
pulled back on the reins once. and
then an engine under full Roadway
pulling train going east. dashed by
the heads of the horses. To say that
Rev. Lacey and his good wife were
terrorized with fear. and then were
most thankful ior their escape from
death is putting the case mildly.
The long freight going into the sta
tion. had cut off a view of the train
coming east. When one considers the
consequences. if the team had not
been checked IN time. they shudder.
We are most thankful that the pastor
and his dear wife are safe. The in
cident will be warning to all when
crossing double track railway.

on the finger of pretty Norah Cole.
Yesterday he pawned the ring and
used the money he got on TO buy a
revolver, with which he attempted
to murder the girl. After seriously
'wounding her an two other people he
blew out his brains.
The affair is one of the most melo-
dramatic that ever occurred in Shef-
field, and a curious fact in connection
with it was that II was foretold in a
dream which the mother of one
the victims had on the night before
the tragedy occurred.
This was an elderly woman named
Fitzsimmons. Her son. Thomas
Fitzsimmons, was French's landlord
or rather his host, for 1t was pure.
ly as an act Of charity that the miner
was taken into the Fitzsimmons
household some Ave weeks ago, at n
time when he was out OF work. Soon
afterwards French fell In love with
Norah Cole, who was a servant in
Fitzsimmon's employment, and be-
fore long he succeeded In making
her promise to marry hlm-the ar
rangement being that their marriage
should take place at a registry office
in fortnight's time.
Apparently, however, the miner,
who was OF rather brutal type, had
gained the girls consent largely
through bullying her. for a few days
ago she told him she had changed
her mind. And next day she was
warned by her employers mother
not even to go out with French, who,
the elder Mrs. Fitzslmmons declared.
was dangerous. The old lady assert
ed that on the previous night she
had dreamed that shots had been
fired in their kitchen and that the
assailant was French.
Next day. when the FitzsimmonI
family and two OF their neighbors
were sitting in the kithen, French
suddenly came In. Going up to
Norah Cole he asked her II she in
tended to marry him and the girl
pluckily replied that she was not
going to have anything TO do with
him. French then drew a revolver,
fired at the man Fitzsimmons, then
at Mrs. Elizabeth Fitzsimmons. who
had a baby on her knee and then
turned TO the girl.
TIE told her prepare to die. She
fell on her knees and implored him
not TO kill her, but he was unmoved
by her appealing cries. He fred
three shots at her. and then shot
himself in the head with the last
bullet left I'm the revolver and fell
dead.
Fitzsimmons escaped with but
slight injury. but Mrs. FitzsImmons'
nose was blown away. while the cir!
was seriously hurt On French's
being searched, a pawn ticket for a
wedding ring was found in one OF hid
pockets. With the proceeds the man
had taken out a gun license. Then
he bought the revolver and cart
