/ Hope for an honest press, indeed
( 1t is not a consumation that needs

best years of their lives to promoting
the Interests of Florida, morally and
materially, while the editor OF the

clothes.
Editor L'EngIe is given to this sort
of iuuendO and insinuation directed
at the newspapers in Florida that do
not happen to support the policies
and the men that at this particular
time suit his tickle fancy. He has

that he used to belong to the other
faction of the democratic party in
Florida, but that the scales fell sud
denly from his eyes aud he forth

This sort of dope is fed to his readers
along with insinuations involving
the integrity of newspaper men in
the state apparently with the hope
that the reader would infer that he
was bribed for supporting the candi-
dates of the conservative faction,
wherefore all other newspapers that
support them must be corrupt. This

The unanimity with which the

the candidacy of any of the so far
announced candidates for governor
is somewhat remarkable, to say the
least, and gives US renewed cause for
thinking that We were correct in our
conclusions of some weeks ago-that
the people had grown tired of shout
ing for candidates who were lined
up with either of the existing politi-
cal factions of the state, and that
they are ready to espouse and sup
port some man known to be clean

STORY OF PITCHERS
WHO HIT The BALL
Bygone Pitchers Were Superior i'm
Batting to Those of the Present
Time.

Once upon a time there were
pitchers on all or about all of the
major league teams who had to be
reckoned with when they faced the
twirlers on the opposing nine.
Where, oh where are the hard-hit-
ting pitchers of today?
Three pitchers have captured the
blue ribbon place in the National
league in batting. The first was Al
Maui, of the Phillies, who batted for
450 in sixteen games in 1897. Maui
was sent to the Quaker City from
Nashville, and the scout who recon-
mended him to Harry Wright wager
ed that in his first game Al would
make a home-run. The scout won
the ball. Maui clouting the ball over
the left field fence-a hit that is still
remembered in Quakerdom.
The next curver to biff his way to
the fore was Jack Luby, of the Chi
Cages. He raped for .342 in thirty
games in 1890, and was considered a
fine twirler as we'll as natural hit
ter. He became i'll the next year
and had to retire, soon dying from
consumption.
Roaring Bill" Kennedy, mainstay
of the Brooklyns for many years, was
the third and last pitcher to lead the
National league swat brigade. He
achieved the feat in 1903 while with
Pittsburg, batting for 1868 in eigh'
teen games, only ten of which were
complete.
The pitchers box has been a step
ping stone to greatness in the bat
ting line. Jesse Burkett was twirl-
err before he was transferred to duty
in the outposts, and he put to his
credit the batting leadership three
times-in 1895, 1896 and 1901.
Tip O'Neill worked for the New
York Nationals when they were first
organized, was shifted to the Nets
and then went to the Mound City. In
1887, when the rule was four strikes
and four balls, and base on balls
was counted both as hit and as a
time at bat, Zip" hit for .492, Pete
Browning having All, Denny Lyons
469, and Partisan Bob Caruthers
.459.
Good hitters in the old association
who were pitchers were Guy Hecker,
Dave Foutz and Bob Caruthers, the
two last named being SO handy with
the willow that Comiskey alternated
them in the outfield and benched
Hugh Nicol, grand little fielder and
wonderful base runner
National leaguers who could hit as
we'll as pitch included Radbourne and
John Ward. John Montgomery was
so valuable in all directions that he
finally gave up box work. Radbourne
won the the great 1 to 0 1S-inning
game between Providence and De-
troit in 1882 by home run.
While there are some twirlers hit
| ting above 800 this season, the hon.
or roll will shrink materially before
the end of the campaign. However,
many of the curvers will hit about
the ZAP marks, which is the general
average in the major leagues.

BASEBALL GAME
At 8 P. N. TO-DAY
The News Team Will Play The Plas-
tercrs At Ely City-Fast Game
Is Expected.

This afternoon at O'Clock, at the
ball grounds, the News baseball team
will cross bats with the Plasterers,
The game should be a hot one, as
the bunch are all working hard to get
in shape, and the outcome is hard to
guess.
The Plasterers lineup has not been
received at this writing, but it is said
they are a strong aggregation and
can be depended upon to give a good
account of themselves.
Jim Thorpe, an old Lacquer, will
pass out the hot ones for the Plas-
terers, and when one thinks of his
record, you know that there's going
to be some "buzzers'' whistling by
the ears of the eager batter, for Jim
is there with his whip"
This will be the first effort of the
News bunch, and while they are as
yet little rusty, will doubtless put
up a pretty husky article of baseball.
There are several ''old-heads"
among the gang who are wise to the
fine points of the game, and this,
coupled with the addition of the
young blood should bring the de-
sired result.
There will be no admission charg-
ed and every arrangement has been
made for the comfort of the guests
