Since his removal the coroner of
Dorchester has been serving as sher-
iff. Coroner KiZcr wrote Governor
Hcyw[ard that he did not wish to
serve, and on recommendation Of the
Dorchester delegation, Mr.. Finucan,
Of Summerville, was appointed sher-
iff, but he. too, declined to serve, and
the coroner was continued in office.
Now Sheriff Limehouse again takes
charge.
In the proclamation Of Governor
Ansel it is said that "M. NJ. Lime
house, sheriff Of Dorchester County,
in the state aforesaid, having been
suspended from his Office as sheriff
of Dorchester County under the pro-
visions Of Section 142 Of the Grimm
al Code Of South Carolina, Volume Q,

stage of his promising career.

gorgeous ball player and superb artist with

SO attribute-his passing from a state of
extraordinary usefulness to the exactly OPP

too, developed early, to frivol along with
the horse thing.

been pulled from under him by the horse

nothing ahead of him financially but the

way is Sam Griffith, the one-armed pitcher
of Philadelphia.
Sam lost his left arm many years ago, yet
with the right alone he has been able to
earn an excellent living He pitches with a
motion somewhat similar to that used by
Sam Lever, the noted Pittsburg twrler,
who does very little with his left arm when
winding up to let the ball go.
Griffith can get considerable speed, and
has played a number of strong semi
professional teams in the vicinity of his
home. Connie Mack, manager of the Phila-
delphia Americans, champions of 1905,
thought enough Of Griffith to give him a
trial, but the one-armed wonder was not

1t is a noticeable feature of all Nelson's

There is reason for this. At long range

The armless billiardist Is Albert Sutton.
He has appeared all over the country; he
has played the best of the two-armed
champions on even terms. and has had to
yield only to men in the very front rank.
AS an exponent of fancy shots, the kind
of exhibition that causes the average lover
of the cue game to hold up his hands In
amazement that such things can be done,
Sutton is second to no one. Sutton has been
playing for many years, and yet he has
only two stumps, both arms being off above
the elbow. 1t is worthy of note that he gets
the better all the time.
Three-Fingered Brown.
When the Chicago Nationals won the
championship last year a large part of the
credit was given to Pitcher Brown. He was
far and away the teams winning pitcher,
and with him on the slab there seemed no
way the Cubs could lose. Yet Brown is

gers. or rather two fingers and thumb, on
his pitching hand. he nrst ana second
fingers he lost in accident.
Another ball player who is known all over
the country, Bill Coughlin, the hard-work-
ing third baseman of the Detroit Ameri-
cans, is minus one finger on his throwing
hand but no one would ever know 1t from
the way he plays the bag. Bill, who comes
from the coal regions of pennsylvania,
Wilkesbarre being his home, was
breaker boy before he discovered that base
ball was his right calling, and he lost his
