MAY REINSTATE
JIMMY SEBRING
Sentiment FaVOrS Return of
Crack Fielder TO ORGAN
lied Ball

It looks as If there is a chance for
Jimmy Sebring to got Sack into good
baseball society after all.
Before he and President Hermann
left Cincinnati last Tuesday night-ths
Red head to start the ball rolling at
the Laughery Clubs annual outing,
and Sebring to return to his Pennsyi
vania home-there seems to have been
some sort Of an understanding es-
tablished that BODIES well for the ex-
Red outfielder.
II feel certain that Mr.. Hermann
will do everything in his power to get
me back from my exile" said Sebring
before he left. Hes Just that kind
of a man-one Of the best in the world
and as good as sny that a ball player
ever worked for. He and Barney
Dreyfuss, of the Pirates. are the kings
when it comes 10 treating their players
right No one realizes more than do
that transgressed seriously in doing
the things that I did. and which re-
suited in my being bamshed to the
Tri-State for life And only a man
who has been punished to the limit
for an offense can know how II hurts
to be in the position that I am in I
want to do right, ana 1 want to get
back where I belong. know that if
the ban on me is lifted that 7 can start
in at once with a major league team
and that if I do get back into fast
company again can dcliver the goods
and be a useful man TO the game for
years to come"
Sentiment-if that counts for any
thing-is all in favor of the reinstate-
ment of Sebring. There is a universal
feeling that he has been sufficiently
punished for the misdomeanors he
committed against organized baseball
and that the time now is at hand for
organized baseball to "let up" on him
and give him one more chance.
There's no doubt shat he'll do the
right thing in the future by treatine
that ehance-if II comes to him-with
the utmost respect and consideration.

Gossip From the Various
Teams in the Tri-State

Pop" Fos.ai's hittme has been the fe l.
ture Of the work of the Roses during the
last week. Pop has hit hard enough to win
games. but his teammates apparently can
not set the hitting fever with him.
Considerable complaint has been heard
Of late from Winiamsport fans to the
effect that this seasons Tri-state sched-
ule is not of the most conducive to good
crowds.
Warhop. the leading pitcher Of the Will
Transport team has added several new
laurels to his crown in the last week.
Warhop wins with great regularity. His
style is that which suits the Billtown
fans.
Arthur Irwin was a visitor to Williams

for the Harrisburg club. which win likely
have number OF chances TO dispose Of
him at a big price before August 20.
The Senators have not recovered their
batting eyes, and during the last week
have been having All kinds OF trouble to
win from the tailenders.

Reading baseball fans. and. though the
work Of the team this week has been any

TsndIed Bank Accounts

ut is remarkable" said an old bank
employee, how few people keep their
bank accounts absolutely correct. At
ordinary times this failing Is not con-
spicuOus, because books are usually
balanced when there is still credit
to the depOsitOr's account. When the
balanced book is received with the
vouchers the usual discrepancy is
found after much labor in an omitted
entry, either deposit or check or in the
form Of an error in addition or sub
traction. The thing is usually settled
at home without our help. But when
a lot of women go to a bank, each
one with a check already made out
representing her balance, then look
out. Fortunately | have had no ex-
perience in that way. but l know that
not one woman In ten--and | am char
liable with the figure-keeps her book
correctly. and many women keep no
record at all. We have one deposltor
who used to receive an ovsrdraft no
tice regularly every month. Now, by

Con ] o. liter c. Hamm of Hull The
roads were well constructed originally
and are well cared for now 1t is Il
rare sight to see a rutty or muddy
country road in the neighborhood Most
all of them are macadamized, well
drained and kept in good repair. AS q
consequence one horse can draw load
which would require two or three
horses over the usual country road in
America. There are about LOO miles
of road in the county, and the cost of
the roads has increased from $734,000
In 1895 to 100000 in 1906, and the cost
per mile from 1854 to 1892 in the same

the result of an attempt made by
some FlOrentine amateurs to revive
the lost glOrles Of Greek tragedy. They
failed to get back to the conditions Of

a new art form which soon worked
Itself into the affections Of the peO-
