Mobilization Of Tommy Burns.
The news that Stanley Ketchel had
thoroughly licked Philadelphia Jack
O'Brien and was being picked to de-
feat Jack Johnson in his Wming es'

received In Detroit. Ketchefs Michi'

Tommy Burns, Detroit's champion,

surely draw monster house TO see
their engagement.
The fact is now we'll conceded that
Burns. In spite OF his poor tactics in
the Johnson fight, was far from being
a badly beaten man at its close. and
he should be able to fight ketchel
with all his old steam. His long pos

make his claim TO a battle with the
native Michigander far more logical
one than could be proposed by any
Of the lesser heayies.

SQUARE DEAL FOR HAYES.
Bat Masterson Thinks Johnny Is Get
tine Short Erd Of Shoo-Ins.

This is what Bat Masterson of the
New York Morning Telegraph says:
Doesn't IL seem about time for the
promoters OF this Marathon bunk game
70 fix matters up SO that Johnny
Hayes could cop one Of the big events?
Hayes. TO the great JOY of his New
York friends. grabbed the big race
over in England a year ago. for which
he was given a tremendous blowout
by the IrishAmerican Athletic Society
of New York when he got back home.
Hayes victory in England might
have been fiuke. In the light of sub
sequent races against Dorando 1t no
doubt was, but what OF It?
'Supposing Dorando. St. Ives, Swan
berg. Longboat and other Marathon
runners can beat Hayes-that isn't
any reason why the latter shouldn' t
be allowed to win a race once In a
while. All the other runners have had
their turn at winning and there is no
reason why Hayes should not be Civ
en- his. Hayes wants to get himself a
manager who can insist on having his
turn when the shoo-in Is arranged

The College Ball Player.

In talking OF his surprising ATHLETIC
team the other day Manager Connie
Mack said: 1T was Dave Fultz. a
graduate Of Brown university. who got
me started going to the colleges for
pitchers. Dave was one of the great
est outfielders that ever lived. In
1902. the first year that the Athletics
won the flag. his work was marvellous.
Not even Jim Fogarty, whose memory
is still revered In Philadelphia. ever
did better playing. Fultz played In
side ball. His arms and legs were
mere factors in the game. His brain
dominated his work. He impressed
me so that have since looked to the
colleges for players, and have seven
OF them on this team-Bender, of Carl
isle; Plank. of Gettysburg; Coombs

There Vas Season When

II may surprise the average
baseball bug TO hear that there
was an American league season
In which Sam Crawford batted
.247. Such is. however. solemn
fact.
Back in 1904, In the regime OF
Ed Barrow. Sam had his awful
slump. That was the year that
ed inaugurated the system OF
playing the whole game from
the bench. Every batter went
up instructed as TO the location
where he was supposed TO hit
the ball. and the number OF
the pitchers delivery which he
was TO select for his effort.
The Tigers of that year were
touted as being a right nifty ag-
gregation AT the start OF the
season, but. under such tactics
rs this the team simply went
TO pieces, Crawford and Carr,
The sluggers of the preceding
year, being simply shadows OF
heir former selves, SO far as
batting ability went. and the
whole team collapsing before
the season was two months old.

Wednesday, advertised as

Chautauqua course, proved all
that was claimed for it and
"then some" Long before two
o'clock the large tent was filled
to overlooking, all eager to see
and hear the ever famous Carry
A. Nation. The Chicago La
dies Orchestra gave several
numbers all of which were ex-
ceptionally fine. Every mem
Der of the organization is mu-
stefan and their rendition of
the Faust Fantasia was unusu-
ally fine. Contrary to expecta-
ton, Garry Nation proved to be
a very unassuming old lady
very radical in her expressions,
but undoubtedly sincere in her
desire to abolish the liquor traf-
fic. The newspapers have
made her out such a curiosity
that everyone expected to see
and hear something out Of the
ordinary. Her subject was

In the beginning Of her lecture
she gave several facts of her
early life among which was
that 20 years ago, She had no
desire to vote with the "Dirty
men" nor did she know any
thing about prohibition, but she
buried her first husband when
she was twenty-three. He

she gave the date 1862 as the
first year licensed saloons wer e

lican party are to blame for
the saloons that exist now be-
cause they were in power then.
|She also blames the democrates
too, because they vote a ticket
that doesn't say anything about
the abolition of the saloons.
She told Of her going to see all
the officers from the country
constable up to the governor,
| to see if she couldn't influe nee
them not to open the saloons
again, but she could do nothing
so she decided to take the law
in her own hands. So the 9Th
day OF June, nine years ago
she hitched up her horse and
drove to'a town several miles
from her home where they had
saloons. Before she started,
she picked up all the rocks,
brickbats and hatchets she
could find and put them in her
buggy. After she arrived in
town she went to see the saloon
keepers but she couldn't induce
them to close, SO the next
morning she started out tt
