Our good friend. Judge H. N. Lester
OF Lake City, is probably this day re-
loicing that he is still in the land Of the
living. He came as close to death and
yet escaped unhurt as any being can
boast.last Wednesday. Walking along the
SIDE OF the railroad track at Lake. ahead
OF the incoming passenger he crossed
ahead of the engine and was barley
across when the train whizzed past.
Bystanders who saw the Judge step on
the track were dumbfounded for a mo-
ment and expected him to be Instantly
killed and they say a half second would
surely have been fatal. 1t was all done
so quickly that neither Engineer Marshall
or Conductor Peters had time to think
but they both saw the danger and were
themselves happily surprised that It re-
suited as it did. Judge Lester knew that
the tram was coming but did not realize
that it was so close. while the engineer
thought that he Intended continuing down
the side Of the track. It came yerv
near beng a repetition et the terrible
Massey accident Of few months ago..

the deputyship in the postofice. He
was called to Texas last week to assist
his father in looking up some land deals

The Merchant Of Venice" played
by Sanford Dodge and his excellent
company last Wednesday night was a
treat to everybody who has taste for
Shakespearian literary art. A play Of
this kind, with its large cast and elaborate
costumes and scenery is at disadvan-
tage on small stage and for this reason
more than from any other cause. such
high-class companies rarely visit small
towns. Indeed this one came by mere
accident. The Merchant of Venice "
will never grow old as stage attraction.
Our people were very fortunate In hav-
ing the opportunity to see it.

Since the agitation against the billiard
and pool hall has begun in the city cam
paign. attention has been directed to a
license law passed by the legislature at
the recent session. This law provides
that no minor under the age Of l8 years
can play pool or billiard: without first OBJ
tanning license from the county clerk
and paying a fee Of one dollar. This
license can not be granted without the
consent Of the parent or guardian. Owners
or proprietors Of pool or billiards halls
who permit such minors to enter such
places without license are subject to
punishment The enforcement of this
law would overcome many of the OBJ
jechons to pool and billiard halls.

PULLIAM IS READY
TO RESIGN HIS
POSITION
President of the National League
Says Job Is a Thank
less One

CHICAGO, Feb. 17.-President Harry
Pulliam of the National league made it
plain today between sessions of the
league meeting that he was willing to
forego the glory and salary attached to
his position in order to save himself
worry.
It Is known that the best of feeling
does not exist between Pulliam and
Garry Hermann. chairman of the ma
tional committee. and President Charles
w. Murphy of the Chicago National
league club. 1t was said that Pulliam
had ordered Barney Dreyfuss and
Charles Ebbetts to leave his office in
New York and, while the demand was
complied with, 1t is said both Dreyfuss
and Ebbetts vowed vengeance.
Pulliau issued statement after the
meeting and supplemented 1t by saying
his experience with the contending fac
tions OF the league had caused him to
IT expect" he said, that there are
enough OF the opposition to depose me
as president and as matter of fact l
would not regret such action on their
part. The job is thankless one, and
the friction one has TO contend with is
not worth the trouble
The proposed amendment to the ma
tional agreement in relation to the
class AA league was discussed, and
while no definite action was taken, the
sentiment appeared to favor the
change. A similar spirit was mani
tested at the session of the American
league directors. With this display of
Willingness on the part of the major
league magnates it is probable that the
American association, Eastern league
and Pacific Coast league Will be placed
in a class by themselves, according TO
their desire.
In the National lea que session ii was
decided to amend rule 81 so that the
umpires will not have the power to
fine PLAYERS or the men on the coach
ing lines. Another innovation was the
adoption of a rule that managers of
home grounds will not be permitted to
voice any sentiment regarding ground
rules In case the visiting team enters
protest against existing conditions.
The umpire is to be the sole judge in
such an emergency.
In the major league clubs 1t was de-
cided By the rules committee that a
limit of 25 players shall be the maxi
after May 15, and 35 during the so
called "off season"
The committee decided to stop the
practice of certain managers OF shift
ing pitchers during the games in order
to give their teams an advantage when
the batters on the opposite teams show
great strength at the plate When one
pitcher is taken out his successor must
remain in the box until he has retired
at least one man.
Third Baseman Conroy of the New
York American club was sold to the
Washington team, and Sid smith or the
ST. Louis American aggregation was
shifted to the Atlanta club OF the
Southern lea que.
