CLARK AND WAGNER
HAVE ENOUGH NOW
Men Who Are Backbone of the Pitts
burg Pirates Are Rich Now and
Are Ready to Quit Game and
Live Easy.

PITTSBURG, July 10.-Today was
ner is in the game this year for the
reason that he believes that the Pirates
will grab the pennant 1t was also
learned that the great slugger and
Fred Clarke, the manager of the team,
would probably be out of the game
next year.
Mrs. Clark a few days ago declared
that her husband would never again
appear in baseball uniform after this
year She gave as her reason that
her husband had farm of 1900 tilla-
BILE acres in Kansas and that he could
earn more money every year there than
he could playing baseball.
Today from a mighty, close friend OF
Clarke came a reiteration of the story
with one that Wagner at the start OF
the season promised to play only until
June 1, and that he would now be out
of the game were it not for the fact
that the Pirates are in the lead.
Clarke told me that he would quit
at the end of the year." said this per-
sonal friend of the Pirate manager
'Dreyfus knows that Clarke will not be
with him next year for Clarke told him
and gave his reasons.
'Dreyfus also knows that this is pos
itively Wagner's last year. In fact, the
big Dutchman, when he began the year
did so with the distinct understanding
that a shortstop would be developed by
June 1, and that he could then quit
the team.
eat the beginning Of the season,
Wagner went to Clarke and said: 4
will play until June without salary. BY
that time you find or develop a short
stop, for that date 1 will quit
"Of course, Hans was not permitted
to play without salary. He did not quit
on the first day of the past month for
the reason that the. Pirates We're very
much in the race and had Hans quit
it would have ruined their chances.
But he will quit next year, certain.
He owns half the town of Carnegie.
One day he drives to the baseball
grounds in an automobile. The next he
drives there behind pair of matched
horses. He has money enough to in
sure him luxurious old age He is
through.
Clarke went to Dreyfus and told
him that he could earn as much
money on his farm in Kansas as he
could managing a ball team. He de-
clared that he was tired Of travel and
would settle down and lead a quiet
life after the present season. There
may be no question but what the two
great mainstays of the Pirates will

would have quit long ago had not

Cattle Die of Thirst.

CITY OF MEXICO, July 1O.-Accord-
ing to reports brought here recently
by stockmen from the north central
part of the republic, thousands of head
of cattle have succumbed to thirst in
that section. In parts of the Mexican
grazing country not drop of rain has
fallen in nearly a year. Many streams
on which the cattlemen depended for

the ranchmen have no alternative but
to let their cattle die of thirst. The
spectacle presented by the thirst

MORE THAN A HUNDRED WOMEN
HAVE HEARING IN BOW

Few of Those Arrested Are MISSING, TO,
They Want Chance to Get Case
Before the Public.

LONDON, July 10.-More than a hun
dred suf1fagettes who took part in the
recent raid on the house of commons
in an attempt to present a petition to
Premier Asquith, and who were ar
rested and later released on their own
recognizance, invaded Bow Street DO
lice court today for their heating.
Few of those arrested were missing
from court, as they were glad to be
afforded an opportunity for a public
hearing of their case. Mrs Pank-
hurst made a lengthy argument in
behalf of the right to present the pc
tition.
For over an hour previous to the
opening of the hearing the court build
ing was surrounded by dense crowd.
Purple white and green, the colors of
the suffragettes were largely in evil
dence and the leaders of the movement
including Mfs. Pankhurst and Mrs.
Lawrence, were there early.

osophy.
The explanation of the failure of
the Call as an afternoon paper is also
the explanation of the failure of the
socialist propaganda to impress the
great multitude of New York work
ingmen. Whatever the dement's of
! the MARKHAM creed of salvation
| through cooperation, it is at least
a doctrine that requires for it's COM
prehension some capacity for thought
and mental concentration 1t is I'M
fortunate, but it is none the less true,
that the great masses of the proletari-
at possess neither the intellectual
ability nor the emotional enthusiasm
| for aligning themselves with any
movement based on complex system
! of political economy.
! 1t does not help matters for the
socialists to retort that the present
capital system" is responsible for
the intellectual paucity of the wage
slaves" 1t will be admitted by i'm
partial observers that the socialist
workinsmen, as a rule, are the men
tai superiors of their fellows. To pro-
claim adherence to any unpopular
cause, however, mistaken, is an evil
| dence of having taken at least Ohe
sober thought, and the man who has
thought once is likely to form a habit.
These admissions do not invalidate
the observed fact that the vast ma
iority of wage workers are STEPPED in
an ignorance that renders them care
less of the future and impervious to
any appeal from any movement for
the betterment of their condition. The
failure of the Call as an evening
paper, in competition with journals
that satisfied an appetite of the hol
polloi for blood and thunder and scan
dal in high life, is sufficient proof Of
