in batting to wake up the fans.
1t was in 1851 years ago
that Harry Stovey stole 1856 bases
in one season. which is the record
for all time. How sadly base run
ming has deteriorated will be appre-
ciated when it is known that last
season Hans Wagner led the Ma
tiOnal league with 53 stolen bases,
while Pat Dougherty was high man
for the American league with AZ.
Are the catchers better than the
backstops of decade ago? Only
those who never saw Ewing, Bush
ong, Kelly. Robinson, Snyder and
the other heroes would seriously
make such a claim, and yet Billy
Hamilton in 1890 stole 1902 bases
and in 1891 lifted his record to 115.
Johnny Ward was high man in
1892 with "a, and led again in 1893
with ~. but Hamilton was once
more the star stealer in 1894 with
80 and again led in 1895 with IS.
Then came Billy LANCE, one of
the grandest ball players in the his
tory of the game. He stole 100
bases in 1896 and SO in 1897. Be-
ginning in 1898 base stealing began
to decline until now the play--com-
mon enough 20 years ago-is rare
enough to all for special mention
when successfully negotiated.
Inasmuch as batting is something
that can't be taught. why wouldn't
1t be a good plan to try to teach the
golden art of base stealing. Let
the managers teach their men how
to get their start" as Storey used
to; how to avoid basemen as Mike
Kelly used to dodge them; how to
slide as Hamilton used to go flying
along on his face and breast; and

senator Lindsey Joins church

Senator william Lindsey has exhib
tied wonderful vitality under all the
circumstances and. continued to inn
prove all Saturday morning, giving
much encouragement to his friends
Ing the newspapers containing oc'
and physicians. He insisted on see
counts of his Illness and sketches OF
his career. and after reading them he
joked about IL with those at his bed
side. He said, That's a pretty good
obituary but has lots of mistakes as
to dates"
He has never lost consciousness or
been delirious, showing that his men.
tai vitality is as strong as ever. but
he is very weak physically and un-
able to sit up in bed even. The ply
sic.ans fear that his improvement to-
day IS only the temporary increase
in vitality that usually presages the
final dissolution, for Judge Lindsay
is too old to have any permanent
physical rally.
Senator William Lindsay spent a
better night last night than was ex-
pected under the circumstances and
is somewhat improved, though the
physicians give no hope that the raj
ly will be a permanent one. Another
chill and sinking spell like the one
he had Friday morning will be fatal
to him in his present condition, so the
doctors say and all they can hope for
is to postpone such thing as long
as possible.
Senator Lindsay Is still conscious
and his mind is as clear as II ever
was. though he is extremely weak
physically. He announced to his
family yesterday afternoon that he
desired to join the Presby terrain
church before he died, His wish was
Immediately complied with and all
steps necessary TO make him a MEM
Der were taken. though Rev. J. r
Ziegler. the pastor Of the church was
not in the city.-Frankfort Capitol.

Chicago girl, Of course, everything

years ago attracted notice by advere-
Using to sell herself as a slave. She
now comes forth with a declaration
in which she pictures the servitude
in which she says the American
masses are living today.
Here are some of the epigrams
from the young woman's remarkable
statement:
1T is heil--to have a superior edu-
cation and to have to work for and
obey the commands of ignorance.
ITO have a sensitive and refined
nature and have to be forever brush

ITO have an ear for fine music and
have TO be tortured by street organs
ITO know that you can do some
things better than other people and
never have had the opportunity to
prove it.
ITO hitch your wagon to a star and
then have the darn star start of be

ITO long for a little home where
you can pant and tend a few flowers
and have to live in a littlee Sx1O hall

ITO hang onto a street car strap

ITO pray for an angel and get a
