/ WANT TO BE A MAN.

A crowd of little fellows stood upon

And grown-up-like were wishing in a

and laughed aloud;

told the crowd;

II want to be soldier, with a gun

And thus they kept on wishing in this

He answered very solemnly: "Sir, I

Counties that had not gone Demo

their first love. When the Democrats
throughout the State read that Chris

Grayson and many others that have
been casting their vote in favor of the
Republicans for the past decade they
can better enjoy victory that has come

The Election in Bourbon.

The election in Bourbon county Tues
day. was the quietest ever held here.
There was no opposition to the Dem1-
cratic nominees for county Offices with
the exception in Millersburg precinct,
Mr.. Matt Current, Republican, run
ming against Squire w. A. Thomson.
Democrat, the latter winning by 90
majority.
The following were elected Justice >

MilIersburg, E. P. Thomson; Little
Rock, w. H. Squires North. Middle
town, j. ]. Redmon; ClintonvilIe, B.
F. Stipp; Hutchinson. o. B. Lloyd /;
Centerville, j. L. Barlow; Riddles
Mills, George K. Redmon.
The only Republican candidate rum
ming on the city ticket was Mr.. Garlic
Wiimoth, who was a candidate for
Councilman in the second ward, he be-
Democrats elected in that ward were
y. S. Wilson and Roht. Link. the de-
feated nominee being Mr.. I. F. Bran
non. There was no opposition to any
of the other city candidates. Mr.. VIII
moth was elected of course bysDemo-
ratio votes as the Democratic majority
in the second ward is over 200 as
shown on the face of the registration.
Comment upon Mr.. WiImoth's success
is not necessary, suffice to say, that
the result was brought about by Demo-
Gratis kvoting for Republican instead
of the regular Democratic nominee.
While we, of course, regret to see
the election of a Republican, at the
same time if we have got to have one
among che city officers. no more popu-
lar one could have been selected. than
Garlic Wilmoth. AS we have stated in
these columns before the worse thing
you can say about Garlic is that he is
a Republican.

We all remember. or. at least the

straight games from the Philadel-

themselves out and were sadly Grip

had gone through.
Louisville had won the first three
games and 1t looked bad for the Ath-
letics. Then came the final game, and
Guy Hecker. Louisville's great pitcher
of those days, was sent in to ad-

SAYS COLLEGE MEN ARE
NOT LIKE PROFESSIONALS
University Players Spoiled by Too
Much Praise from Friends, De-
cIares Storke.

Alan Storke. the Pittsburg player,
who entered baseball from Amherst.
where he starred, is credited with say
ing:
"a college players real ability never
shows forth until he is snapped up by
y league club and taught how to play
professional baseball. There's big
difference in these two games.
"At college the trainer or coach
says: Come on, old man. get out
there and win to-day. We want the
game Take a chance on everything
You're our one biggest bet you
know
The professional managers say:
Here, you cub, you're going out there
10 play ball to-day, dye mind? It isn't
going to be football. You are to get
your hands on the ball and know what
to do with it when you've got it.
There's no rah rah fellows in this
game you are going to play. If you
cannot get out there and show some
thing we've got plenty who can.
When a college player makes a
grand-stand play his teammates stand
him on their heads, lug him about on
their shoulders and pat him on the
back for a week
when a professional player makes
hair-raising play his fellow players
take no notice of it, and only once in
about ten times of these instances is
the catch or stop even mentioned on
the bench.
"Oh, there's lots Of difference be-
tween the college and the professional
game, but the calm, practical way of
doing things in the professional ranks
makes a player calm and steady him
self. and makes him a far better ball
player than he could ever be in col
lege."
Storke is correct in his compari-
sons. Too many college players are
spoiled by praise, undue, from stu
dents, and in many instances team
mates almost ruin a promising player.
A player might start a play wrong, a
bone head" as it were, and then be
fortunate enough to end it by a piece
of luck That man comes in for
much praise, whereas had his mistake
been called out and the praise elm
mated he would be much better of,
as the chances are he would not re-
peat it again. Too much praise, like
too much nagging, spoils youngsters.
