the slightest doubt among magnates
and league officials.
For some time past there has been
a great agitation against the harm
doing blade, and many men have spent
much time trying to solve the problem
with the spike All kinds of things have
with the spike. All kins of things have
been tried, but none have answered
the same purpose as the spike. And it
is to stay.
One of the latest inventions is the
of the shoe But this will not do.
The ball player has to be on his feet,
running about, engaged in actual play
for about seven months out of the
year, and unless the grips on the shoe
are made in a manner to cut into the
ground with but little resistance, the
sole of the players foot will become
so calloused that in a short time he
will be laid UP for almost as long as
though he had been spiked.
Football players, who are engaged
in actual work for a period of time
covering scarcely more than 10 weeks,
- at the outside, are often troubled
with this callous, caused by the resist
ance of the leather cleats. And it is to
avoid this that the ball tossers file
their spikes.
In the fall of the year and IN the
early spring when the ground is hard
and even a steel spike, which is at all
dull fails to penetrate deep enough
into the turf to permit the foot to rest
fatty on the ground the players feel
it and frequently are forced to limp
the pain is so intense.

A GREAT ESCAPE

years ago tablet concentrating
the event was placed above the cell
door. Since the day Of Morgan's es-
cape the cell has never been occu-
pied.
Accounts of the escape differ and
are told in many and varied forms.
The most plausible, however, is that
a hole was cut in the stone slab in
the floor, through the ground beneath
into an air chamber which runs be-
meath the cell block. Moving along
the air chamber the prisoners worm
ed their way eight cells east and then
started digging out beneath the hall
and under the wall until the level of
hte female department was reached.
Here the tunnel was dug upward and
opened in the yard. Securing q rope
and a hook on the night of November
81, 1863, the escape was effected by
throwing the hook upon the wall and
climbing the rope. After clearing the
prison wall, Gen. Morgan hailed Fl
passing cab and was driven to the de-
pot. He took a train for Cincinnati
and from there crossed the Ohio river
into Kentucky, where he met his fate
in trying to avoid recapture.

cessitated by the unusual hardness of

However, the chance of injury would
be materially lessened by little legis-
lation on the part of the rules making

E. E. Barnard of the. Cleveland club
recently expressed his views on the
spike question He said that he had
studied the situation for some time and
reached the conclusion that the in
juries could be reduced to a minimum
without doing away with the spike.
Slide Head First.
''Why not compel all base runners to
slide head first?" said Mr.. Barnard,
land then attach a penalty for the
blocking of any base by calling the
runner safe if the fielder blocks him in
any way. If the runner slides feet
first call him out By these two very
simple changes in the rules much good
would be done.
cot course, there is another side of
the question, which must be given
consideration" continued Mr.. Barnard.
There are some ball players who, in
their desire to make the bag safely,
would run out of the line foot or two
and slide into the fielder Under these
conditions the base umpire should be
forced to use his judgment and rule
accordingly.
"At the present time there are many
fellows who have to be turned aside
as infielders because they are spike
shy. They have all the qualities of ex-
cellent players, but they cannot face
the steel of a runner who jumps into
the bag feet first"

W. B. KeIby Charged With Libel.

Three complaints were sworn to last week by Mayor Ben Heney and Neal Le Baume, charging w. B. Kelly, editor and general manager of the Arizona Daily Star, with criminal libel. Warrants charging criminal libel were issued by Justice Richey.
 Mayor Heney in one complaint charges that criminal libel was can- tained in the following article ap- bearing in the Star:
 "The position of the mayor and his arrangement from the city council, is at once discreditable to the city, the office and the administration. And we feel further that the Mayor keenly appreciates the embarrassing situation in which he has unfortun- ately placed himself in his efforts to make good at the expense of the city and taxpayers, the price promised for the betrayal of Murphy, the late Socialist candidate for Mayor, by his most trusted advisor, Le Baume."
 LeBaume's complaint charges the following is libelous:
 "With tear-stained face, with dew drops in his shaking voice, the bribe taker appeals to the Mayor, for his promised piece of mlnce pie. So what could the poor Mayor do?"
 Le Baume's second complaint charged the following is libelous:
 "The dear city is expected to finance the newly improvised office of 'caretaker'. That is to take care of a political henchman who sold his socialistic maunderings for less than d mess ot pottage. Sold his master and his principles for the promise of an office"

Dynamiters Busy in Tucson.

 Superintendent and MT. Whalen were asleep in cupalo on the house at the time but they miraculously escaped death. They were hurled from their bed by the force of the explosion but were uninjured beyond receiving severe shock.
 City and county officers who are investig ating the dastardly outrage are searching for three men who were seen hurrying past the Whalen residence just a short time before the explosion.
 These men are believed to have been the dynamiters. Descriptions of them are very meager. One is said to have been short and rather heavy, while the other two are de- scribed as tall and somewhat slender All three were we'll dressed.
 The description of the trio was furnished the officers by a dairyman who drove down Fifth avenue just short time before the explosion took place.-Citizen.

Good Ore Striving on Gertrude.

Charley Stevens, one of the exten- sive owners of mining property in the Clifton-Morenci district, has recently been doing some development work on the Gertrude claim of the Stevens group in the Garfield section. It is reported upon reliable authority that an excellent showing of oxide copper ore has been encountered on the Gertrude claim which no doubt will be of much consideration to those in- terested in the property. It is well known fact that that particular sec tion of the Clifton-Morenci district promises to develop-into one of the heaviest copper producers in the future. So far the Garfield section is practically undeveloped though several good mines lie within that midst. The completion of the Shan non Arizona railroad to that district will enlist several new shipping pro positions which cannot be worked now on account of excessive trans portation costs.
