IN FAVOR of GUN To1ING.
Hutchinson Chief of Police Is Not on
posed to the Practice.

Hutchinson, Kan. Aug. 21.-Chief
George Hern believes that a citizen
with a gun is an added protection to
the city and has announced that he
has no objection to "gun totin' so long
as the weapons are in the proper
hands. mo reputable citizen will
have any trouble with the police de-
partment for carrying, a gum he said.
I don't approve of boys carrying
guns and won't allow it, but if a prop
erty owner thinks he needs protection
there will be no objection to his carry

Des Moines News: The announcement
that came to Des Moines today that
'.Ducky''. Holmes. manager of the Sioux
City team, had suspended Freeman, a
pitcher, is only another proof of the
policy in Holmes baseball makeup which
has contributed largely to his success
as manager in the Western League.
He is the boss from start to finish -
and just as soon as a player thinks he
can't do as Holmes says, he no longer
has any use for him. In spite of the
fact that Freeman is the best pitcher
on ''Ducky's" staff. and he is making
a fight for first place in the league,
which he can scarcely hope to win back
without the service of Freeman, yes
te:rday he suspended the underhanded
twirler because he refused to report in
a suit at Sundays game. His policy is
the only kind that will produce inside
baseball. and it was this same policy
that enabled the Sioux City team to
slip away with so many one-point VIC
tories last season and enabled them to
win the pennant with IT straight vic
tories at the finish.
