The Columbus weekly dispatch., 1907-06-06

Stickney, who recently succeeded
| Mckenzie as umpire in the Cotton
| States League, made his first local
appearance in the game with Merid-
ian Thursday afternoon, and proved
more inefficient than Mckenzie and
equally as unjust as Dawkins. The
game rocked along very smoothly up
| to the fourth inning, and although
| Stickney's decisions on strikes and
| balls were decidedly off color, no pro-
test was entered either by Manager
| Wright or by Meredith, who was in
the box for the locals. In the fourth,
with the score tied, Sample went to
| the bat and knocked a high fly out
toward left field. The ball hit at
| least three feet outside the foul line,
as is attested by scores of people who
| saw it when it fell, and as is admit
| ted by the members of the Meridian
| team, but Umpire Stickney called it
| fair. Wright, however, was willing,
| in order to preserve peace, to abide
| by the umpire's decision, but when
/
field he refused to continue the game.
McDivitt, who was playing left field,
ran after the ball and was within a
| few feet of the pigskin when it hit
| the fence. Because McDivitt called
| the attention of the umpire to the
| fact that the ball was foul he was
| ordered out of the game.
Manager Wright, although having
every cause to be provoked, retained
his equilibrium, and did not refuse
to play until he had consulted one or
two of the directors. After a brief
consultation he told Stickney that he
would not finish the game unless Nc
Divitt was allowed to play. The UNI
pire then declared the contest for
feited to Meridian by a score of nine
to nothing.
Every man on the grounds who had
even salf an eye plainly saw that the
ball was clearly a foul, and as soon
as Stickney declared it fair there
were yells Of protest from both grand
stand and bleachers When Stickney
ordered McDiyitt out of the game
they called to Wright not to play un-
less Stickney reversed the order. The
people of Columbus love to see good,
clean ball, but they have no desire
to sit idly by and watch the umpires
steal games.
In the game Friday afternoon Col
umbus again lost out, Samples men
having won by score of four to one.
Stickney again officiated as umpire.

Our Navy's Officers,

In the eyes Of foreigners there are
some startling defects in the personnel
Of our navy. Perhaps the principal
one is the age Of the flag officers and
captains. Not a navy in the world
numbers so many men Of advanced
years In command. All our admirals
are between sixty and sixty-two. 1t IS
probable th=t in the event Of war last
ing 6 year not one-half of the officers
at present in command would possess
the physical vigor to remain on active
duty.
The extreme youth and lack Of expe-
rience Of the main part Of the crews
Of these ships Is another weakness.
The percentage Of veterans IN the COM
plement OF each vessel Is small. Our
battleships are much underofhcered
with exper 'enced subordinate officers,
gun division officers particularly.
The men-of-war Of all other nations
carry many more officers than ours
and more experienced than the Ameri-
can youngsters now available for such
positions. This gap between our veter-
ans and youthful men and command
ers is due to the neglect Of congress,
which permitted five years to elapse
after the Spanish-American war be-
fore the number Of midshipmen was
Increased at Annapolis. - Broadway

CHOICE MISCELLANY
The Old Liberty Bell.

NhS St9 SSits
Contrary to general belief, the old
Liberty bell is not the property Of the
nation or Of the city Of Philadelphia,
but of four sisters who are heirs Of
John Wilbank, the man who made the
new bell shortly after the old one was
cracked and who took the old bell as
part payment. According to the Home
Magazine, three Of the >sisters-Mrs.
James B. McClosky, Mrs. G. d. Emer.
son and Mrs. s. B. Cowerd-live il
Philadelphia. The fourth, Mrs. 8. w.
B. Diehl, lives In Washington.
By an order Of the assembly Of the
province Of Pennsylvania the Liberty
bell was cast by an English founder
in 1751. Soon after arriving In this
country the bell broke, but was recast
from the same metal In the same form
and with the original inscription, PRO
claim liberty throughout the land"
The ownership passed from proyin-
cial authorities to the state, but In
1913 1t was purchased by the city Of
Philadelphia, together with the old
statehoCse and grounds. During the
celebration over the arrival Of Lafa-
yette In 1924 the bell was rung so Wig
orously 1t became cracked and a few
months later was ordered rep.aced by
a new bell cast by John Wilbank. The
latter bell is hanging in the steeple Of
Germantown hall.

Next morning a federal paddle wheel
