Almost all the romance of the old South centered about those princely plantations where son succeeded father in his baronial countries.

The heroes and heroines of the old South were l chosen from the Wlde-halled houses out on the farms, where dwelt in a large measure the country's real aristocracy.

If prohibition by closing so many business houses, could drive most,of the men thu (thrown out of work back to the farms, it would accomplish one great good even if the blind tigers" defeat it's real purpose of tsobriety. The forsaking of the country districts for the cities is gradually creat- ing a problem for whichlthe cOm- ing generations will be seeking a solution.

BUGS IN ILL REPUTE.

Arthur Raymond, the Broadway Bug,
arrived in Chicago this week. having
closed his season with the New York
Giants by mutual agreement. Both
Bugs and the New York team claim the
agreement was bit more mutual on

"MATTY" WANTS $4,000.

A rumor to tho effect tat Pitcer Ma
thewson intends to quit the Giants af-
ter this year has been denied emphati-
calH by the great boXman. Matty
says he will go back To the insurance
business next winter. but there is no
intention to leave the diamond just yet.
He is naturally eager to earn as much
money as possible and it will not be at
all surprising If he demands a salary
Of $4,000 for next season. In view
of the fact that Mathewson is the
mainstay of the Giants. his friends say
the New York club can well afford to
pay him whatever salary he demands
for without his services the Giants
would have a difficult time keeping
pace with the leaders, 1t is thought
Mathewson il not unreasonable, Meth
or is he trouble maker. He has new
er attempted to hold up the New York
club and has been satisfied with his
past contracts. But he says himself
that the time is not far distant when
he will lose his effectiveness and that
he is anxious, therefore, to make hay
while the sun shines.

Elk Umpire, Now Passing From Big

Tim and Jack Stivetts, the once ia

team, were boys together at Ashland,
Schuylklll county Pennsylvania. They
went to school together when they were
not playing hockey" History states
that they, as youths, picked slate to-
gether i'm the coal breakers.
Our friend Tim was utilized in the
field, whore his sprinting abilities were
useful in chasing down flies. while his
team, Ashland, was on the defense.
But it was while he and his fellow
ballists were at the bat that Tins
nimbleness of foot stood his club in
good stead. In those days 1t was per-
MISSILE for batter to have a substi-
tute runner or even cover the distance
from the plate to first base. The cap
tain of the team had the right to select
the substitute runner at all times
without even getting the approval OF
the captain of the opposing club. Thus
Tim was constantly doing the dashing
along the lines, and 1t is recorded in
many of the old score books which are
held as treasures in the coal region

wide reputation as an umpire pilfercd
