Umpires have been accused of many
things-some of them zoo hot for cold
type. But there's always something
new to be sprnug-and the New York
Giants have placed this on exhibition.
It's nothing more nor less than the
smashing OF n worlds record b. the
umpire-a record which. If made.
might have stood the ravages of base.
ball centuries.
The mistreatment OF the afore hint
ed at record took place in New York
on the glorious Fourth Of July show
ing that despite our independence, we
are not Independent OF the umpire.
George Wiltse. the clever southpaw Of
the Giants, was on fhe kopje for his
team. Nine innings and then some
had he hurled the sphere over, around
and above the rubber home plate, but
never had II been swatted where there
were no fielders. Nine full innings
did he 90 without allowing one of the
Quakers TO shake hands with First

did his support handle cleGnlv anv

territory OF the ball lot Then camr

was nothing for Wiltse to fear In put
ting the ball over the pan. Once and
twice did the nmpire call strikes Thon
came another ball, which started for
McQuillin's anatomy then curved
gracefully over the plate. McQuillln
turned TO walk away, thinking he was
struck out; the next batsman started
for the plate-and then Umpire Rigler
yelled Ball"
That ratified Wilise Just long enough
to put the next Ball against McQuillin's
ribs. making the only Pnilly 10 reach
first base during ten innIngs-anl
that's how the Umps spoiled worlds

The words have the Scotch sincerity
and simplicity. A very striking pic
ture of Scotch lad and iassie adorns
the cover. This Scotch song and
chorus is written for medium voice

"THE IKES. "
Rounder


The Shreveport, La, Enterprise in
commenting on an editorial in The
Bee relative to a few disgruntleds
starting another paper in this city,
says:
Wherever you go, wherever you
be. YOU will nd some little Negroes
who are trying to make it appear that
some man of influence is with them
to break up Negro enterprise. The
Bee has been, no doubt, after some
of the "Ikes" or has been advocating
some things that they oppose; hence,
they decide that they will put it out
of business. These "Ikes" are not
ignoramuses so far as the letter IS
concerned, but they are a mass OF
bigotry and selhshness. If their man
dates are not obeyed they feel that
they have the power and influence TO
marshal the forces and put anyone
out of business who does not bow to
their behest. Shreveport is not inn
mune TO these Alexes. There have
been two or three combinations form
ed to put The News-Enterprise out
of business, but we are still plodding
along; the combinations were stran-
gled in their own blood and died. We
are not opposed to the starting OF
other papers, but when the object IS
to kill us, then we object to dying.

GRAND BARN DANCE BY THE
KNIGHTS OF ST. AUGUS-
TINE

A very successful and enjoyable
entertainment, as well as a unique
one, was given by the Knights of
St. Augustine Commandery, No. ?, 1t
the Madre Park last Thursday. The
affair comprised a grand prize waltz
and other attractions. The arrange
ments were perfect, and the large
number of patrons and friends of the
Commandery present seemingly en-
joyed themselves very much. Re
freshments were served by the Do
nation Club of St. Augustine Church.
Mrs. Maria Colbert, president, and
Miss S. Rosie, secretary. Those in
charge of this most pleasing affair
were; Walter Dent( president, Jas.
Campbell, first vice president; Chas.
Inloe, second vice president; Thomas
W. Shorts, financial secretary; ]. y.
Jackson, recording secretary, and B.
Z. Wade, treasurer.
The following named Knights COM
posed the chairmanship of the various
committees: Arrangement, James ].
Jackson; public comfort, Richard
Wells; floor, William Brown; gate.
John l. Jackson; refreshments, Mat
thew Butler. Prof. Hamilton's Or
chestra furnished music for the oc-
casion. Admission was IS cents ;chil-
dren, 10 cents; and judging from the
liberal attendance of the friends Of
this most deserving and popular or
ganiaztion a handsome sum must
have been realized.
