Issy pitched but one game against

knew what had happened to them.
Before twirling his game the Tall
Pine" cleaned up two Hamline stud

the following manner: There was a
long. narrow alley between two DOR

were drenched with water turned
on them from windows OF one of the

into the box and pitched Manchester
TO an easy victory. Soon after this
game Charley Comiskey heard Of
Isbell and secured him for his St
Paul Western league team. Issy has
remained with Comiskey ever since
then. with the exception of the short

Regarding Minors.

For the benefit of those who are
not familiar with the law prohibiting
the sale or gift of tobacco in any
form to minors, as enacted by the late
legislature, the full text is given, as
follows, being section 1882 of the
new code:
elf any person shall sell, barter,
deliver or give any cigar, cigarettes
SMOKING tobacco or snuff 10 any child
under the age of Is years, unless prev
iously authorized in writing by the
parent or guardian of such child, he
shall be guilty of misdemeanor, and
on conviction shall be fined not less
than $25 nor more than $100, or i'm
prisonment in the county Jail no. less
than one month nor more than three
months ,or both.
That is all, but as a law, if it were
honestly, earnestly and zealously en-
forced by those authorized 10 admin
ister it, no one could doubt its eff
fectiveness. If the other papers of
the state would join in the effort to
bring about The enforcemeN of this
law, with some Of those that have
taken it up, notably the Poplarville
Free Press, it would not be long be-
fore good results would be achieved,
which, if it would not stop, might a:
any rate, check indiscriminate smok-
ing by boys and youths.
