That the American league. while de-
fcpted H. the result OF the National
Commission findings in the Chicago
ticket-scalplng scandal. is nevertheless
Ia pronounced victor in diplomatic
way. is the only view which can be
taken of the situation by one who Is
familiar with the facts.
I'm whitc-washing the Chicago club
from any blame in connection with the
scalping incident. the National Com
mission must have utterly failed 10
consider evidence brought To bear by
President Ban Johnson OF the Ameri-
can league. Mr.. Johnson who has al
ways been most conservative in his
statements. told the Chicago papers
several weeks ago that he had EVIL
donce which directly implicated Off
Gals or the Chicago club. That he
failed 10 present this evidence is the
only logical explanation az the verdict
of the commission. His failure 10 do
so must nave been occasioned by some
very logical cause.
h IN ALL PROBABILITY THAT
CAUSE WAS HAL CHASE.
Suppose that Mr.. Johnson. on the
occasion OF the commissions decisive
session, had informally informed the
other two members OF the commission
what IL was. Suppose that they, see
ing the obvious disgrace which their
decision must necessarily bring oil
their own league. had implored Mr.
Johnson TO withhold IL. Suppose that
they strengthened their persuasive
arguments by the fiat statement that
unless Mr.. johnson backed down grace
fully, Messrs Hermann and Pullar,
the other members OF the committee
frankly told Ban that, In case he re
fused 70 back down gracefully. making
a troublesome report necessary, they
would retaliate by refusing to allow

FEATHERED ANGLERS.
How the Great Heron Slabs Fish With
Its Lancelike Bill.

While the kingfisher feeds by day,
the great heron begins his fishing at
dusk just as the stars peep forth.
When l am about to make the last few
casts and stop fishing in a trout pool
hear the loud whiz of his vast stretch
of wings passing close by, flying low
to favorlte shallow part of the river,
and down drop his long legs, and he
settles right down to business, motion
less as stone. Sometimes for half an
hour not a feather moves.
He watches with unwearied patience.
When he does strike it is as quick and
as sure as fate, for the first luckless
fish that approaches within his reach
Is seized with surprising dexterlty.
Like the kingfisher, the heron beats to
death those fish Of larger size, swallow
ing them whole, headforemost, such
being their uniform positions when
found In the stomach. He will then
at once assume the same attitude Of
silent watchfulness, and the finny tribe,
though frightened at his first dash
among them, return again in short
interval only to be tranSfixed with his
long lance shaped bill.
Hornaday's Natural History" says:
when heron is fishing it stalks slow
ly and silently along the shore, prefer
ably in water about six inches deep,
its head carried well forward, but
about on level with it's shoulders,
while its big eyes keenly scrutinize ev-
cry object In the water. 1t takes long
steps and plants each foot softly In the
true still hunter fashion to avoid
alarming its game. When a fish is
found within range the kinks of the
neck fly straight and the fish is Seized
between the mandlbles. The fish is
not stabbed through and through"
This latter statement is only correct
when small fish are taken. 1 have 1t
on expert authority that herons re-
peatedly stab large trout up to two
pounds in weight, making a hole in
the back large enough to insert the
thumb.-Louis Rhead in Recreation.
