BASEBALL GOSSIP.

Ralph Clark, the south paw who blew
in from the short grass country of
which Garden City is the center yester-
day noon, wandered out to the ball field
at the request of Manager Cooley for
warm up. He did not know that the
White Sox were to cross bats with the
Washington. D. c., team and when the
grandstands began to fill and the play
erS were called to the bench he shivered
in the shade ofsthe west grandstand in
wonderment but did not intend to take
chance on asking the name of the OPP
posing team.
OF course he had heard of Washburn
and Washburn blue and when he saw
the blue suits OF the Washington team
with a big white wv on the bosom he
Immediately arrived at the conclusion
that he was to witness a game between
Topeka and Washburn. At that he was
not expecting to get try out for he had
just drifted into town and had not over
come the effects of the corn pones
and molasses diet of the winter season
but was called to the box when one of
Cooley's new pitchers made an unan-
nounced ascension.
His knees had not smote together
though the crowd was somewhat larger
than he was used to playing before in
the short grass country and he march
ed boldly to the pitchers box and for
three innings wiggled the horse hide over
the plate according to a western mix
the national capital to such an extent
that they made one hit off of him and
that a bunt which the batsman beat out
by an eye lash.
Judge Henry Mason was congratulate
ing the newcomer who halls from the
judges home town after the game when
Clark dropped the remark that he
guessed he did all right but that he
feared for the time when he would be
compelled to grace a real team from the
Western association for a try out.
For" he continued, II have played
against stronger teams than this Wash
burn bunch and 1 can't see that they
play faster ball than some Of the teams
from the western portion of the state"
There are about forty thousand en-
tbusiastic fans in Topeka. There were
three hundred of them at the game yes
terday.
The Joplin team will report Monday.
Lou Armstrong will be there by that
time Here is a list of men who will
try out for places on the Joplin team
this season:
Catchers-Quisser, Gray, Vanderbilt.
Armstrong.
wilkinson, Chambers, Westcott, Hol-
nngsworth.
First base-Zink, Rohn.
Second base-Fleming, hewitt
Shortstop-Olson.
Third base-VauRhn.
Right field-Baerwald.
Center field-Schrode, Luckey.
Left field-Foley.
Cooley rs not a bit disappointed over
the showing made by Moore, the big
pitcher. Moore seems to have the goods
in practice and had he warmed up
little bit more before going into the
game yesterday he might have done

The Terms

The first 100 shares am going to
sell at $500 per share.
The second 100 shares at $3.50 per
share.
The third 100 shares at $500 per
share
The fourth 100 shares at $3.50 per
share.
The fifth 100 shares at $500 per
share.
After that the price will be increas-
ed rs cents per share on each hundred
shares until the 1000 allotment has
all been sold. After that no stock
will be sold for less than par. 1t will
be worth par, too. Here's a few reas-
sons: That would place $12,4so in the
treasury of the company I have an
option on a desirable building, that
VIII be adequate to our needs both as
an office. factory and salesroom for
some time to come. This will call for
hundred dollars will equip 1t with ma
chinery and still leave at least $4,000
working capital in the treasury and
$4,000 of stock in reserve
Perhaps 1 had better explain right
here that no one can get more than
100 shares at the prices named If
you want more than 100 shares you
will have to pay the advance on the
next 100. Don't you think that is
fair? OF course, it is, because every
100 shares sold increases the value of
the others just that much You can
take any part Of 100 shares you want.

Montgomery. Ala. March 3o.-An
order was issued by the United States

determined.
The law restrained enacts the rates

from mob of glass workers last night,
holding the mob at bay till the police

up the quarrel. With stones and clubs
Brown was attacked on every side till
he turned and fed.
Brown ran into the Prindale home and
fell exhausted. Mrs. Prindale shut the
door and despite the fact that men in
the mob hurled stones and threatened
her with death she protected the negro
till the police dispersed the mob.

that he will make good and that by the
time the season opens he will be among
the best in the league.
Jerry Edinger, the trainer of the SEN
ators who umpired the game yesterday,
is an old friend of Cooley's. Away back
in 1893 Edinger used to play ball in the
four cornered league, of which Topeka
was one town and Kansas City, Law
renee and ST. Joe were the others. Ed
niger played with st. Joe and in those
days was pitcher. Cooley was at that
time captain of his semiprofessional
team in Topeka and his work attract
ed the attention Of Edinger who secured
for him job in the ST. Joe outfield, the
first team Dick ever played on in his
professional career. About the same
time Ducky Holmes joined the team
and both played in the outfeld. Since
that time the careers of Cooley and
Holmes although they have never since
played in the same teams has been al
most analogous.
Cooley has wired Forester his trans
portation and Jack will probably reach
Topeka Monday or Tuesday of next
week.

his Webb City "Jiggers" yesterday

An Appalling Record.

Rev. Louis J. Bristow writes as fol-
lows in the Baptist Courier:
The frequency of homicides In
South Carolina is simply appalling.
During the seven days ending with
last Saturday there were reported in
the daily papers fourteen homicides
that were committed in the state
during the week, and nine other
cases of assault with deadly weapons,
shooting, etc. During the nine weeks
preceding last Saturday there were
ffty-four homicides committed in
this state and reported in the daily
papers. Since July l last, when we
began to keep a careful record Of re:
ported killings in South Carolina,
there have been ninety-ive homicides
reported.
1t has been common remark con-
cerning homicides in South Carolina
ohat the larger number of them were
ordinary "nigger killings In the
ninety-nine cases which have oc-
Cured since the first of July this has
not been true. Of the dead men,
fifty-one were white and forty-four
we're negroes; of the slayers, by a
singular coincidence, the figures are
lust reversed, fifty-one negroes and
forty-four whites having killed men.
Men and brethren of South Caro-
lima, something should be done to
check this fearful record Of man-slay-
ing. In South Carolina alone the
number of homicides annually is
greater than the number which occur
In the British Isles! The appalling
frequency of man-killing in this state
is disgrace to our civilization and a
reproach to our religion. The Judges
of our courts are ready to pronounce
sentence upon convicted murderers,
but it rests upon the juries to convict
accused men. We address ourselves
to the masses of our people, from
among whom come the men who con-
stitute our juries; see to it that the
law against murder is enforced. Be
not moved to a hairs breadth from
your duty BY the maudlin appeal for
sympathy which is so frequently
made in behalf of men whose hands
are crimson with the blood Of their
fellows.

This is the great question that was
discussed last night at the meeting OF
the State federation of women's S
clubs, at Flint. And this is how it all
came about:
At the meeting last evening the
secretary, in her official report
awarded to the Portland literary club
at Flint the towering honor of the
champion birth record Of the state
Sixty-four women compose the club,
and in the last year eight became
mothers.
The presidents of half a dozen clubs
challenged the Portland club to en-
ter a baby raising contest for the
next year. 1t was accepted instantly
The members of the Portland club
say that within a years time they
will come to the fore not with eight
babies, but a dozen or more. The
others of this great pennant race
say they will surpass even a record OF
twelve.

Bio Potato Yield.

This is potato year for the farmers
of Lancaster county, Pa. In the num-
ber Of tubers raised and in the yield
per acre the present season will estab-
lish a new record. Yields Of from 2oo
to 800 bushels to the acre have been
recorded in previous seasons, but this
wear the farmers have reached the 500
figure, and in one instance yield OF
600 bushels to the acre Is reported, says
the Philadelphia Record. This crop
was raised by Ludwig T. Custer OF
Adamstown. The potatoes were Of the
Early Rose variety. AS evidence OF
the yield Of potatoes this summer two
potatoes planted by Samuel Fastnacht
of Mount Joy grew a crop OF half a
bushel.
