Richmond Club Protests.

Lexington Herald: The manage
ment of the Richmond team has pro-
tested to President Farrell of the
National Commission the action of the
Winchester management in Offering
sums Of money to some of the other
teams in the league to defeat Rich
moDd. Mr.. Thomas of the Wincaes-
ter team gave the Lexington team
5000 to beat Richmond ia the last
Sunday game at League Park and il
is understood that Paris received an
often of 500 10 defeat the Pioneers in
one of the last series of games.
Legally, there may be no wrong in
such an offer, but the injury to base
ball is apparent to anyone who will
consider the question.
Stripped of all ''ifs" and "buts"
one club is given 500 to help Win
chester win the pennant. That does
not mean that the team receiving the
offer would not play just as hard to
defeat Richmond under any other
circumstances. Neither Lexing' on
nor Paris would nave Thrown" a
game to Richmond although neither
was partial to Winchester.
Such tactics, however, will tend to
destroy public belief in the honesty
of the sport and If continued many
years will kill baseball as underhand-
ed tactics in betting have injured
racing. 1t is hard to even make a
guess on what the National Commits
son will decide concerning Rich
mond's protest, but. although the
result of single game in the Blue
Grass League may not have been de-
cided by the money spent by Mr..
Thomas. the fact that the offers were
made viii hurt the game to some
extent.
And the Winchester club will feel
the results next season WHEN it comes
time to sign players for the year.
The men will consider that when
money is so easy to get and they have
helped to make some OF it, the
management who paid it out before
will be wiling to give an increase in
salary. This does not reflect in the
upon the men who played
upon the honest intentions of the
of the Winchester club
1t could hardly be technically called
bride. Yet it has not helped the
sport. possibly has rot helped win .
pennant, and certainly has caused III
feeling and TO some extent crippled
baseball in this league.
The action should serve as lesson

WEDNESDAY. SEPT. % 1909

AMERICANS are often accused of
being boastful, and, perhaps, there is
a class of them that is unwarrantedly
arrogant, but, after all, they have a
good deal to be boastful about. They
make up nation that since its birth
has ''done things" Probably we have,
too, overdone something's and maybe
we have been two busy in carving out
a new and powerful nation to give as
much time as we should to some of
the finer things of life, but the world
owes much to our ingenuity and our
industrious ways.
Americans founded the first COVER
ment under which all men were equal
before the law. Since the Declaration
of Independence was published to the
world the democratic idea has hourly
received new impulse, until now its
march seems irresistible.
Americans were the first to de-
monstrate the feasibility of relying
on citizen soldiery to defend the
land and its institutions against
foreign or domestic attack.
Americans were the first TO abolish
titular distinctions and to deprive
social eminence of any support save
character or the consensus of those
who choose to consider themselves as
socially elect.
1t was an fAmerican who invented
the steamship.
An American invented the tele-
graph.
An American invented the tele-
phone.
An American invented the electric
light.
An American invented the reaper,
which makes it possible to feed the
the billion and more people on this
planet.
IL was an American, too, who in
vented the sewing machine.
Americans also were the conquerors
of pain when they discovered how, by
means of suiphuric ether, the ten
derest human nerves could be made
insensible to the surgeons steel.
Americans opened the ports of
Japan to the nations of the world,
made path into darkest Africa, and
now two Americans crown the
geographical achievements of their
countrymen by discovering the north
pole.

Clever Sue Marshall, will again be
seen in the title role Of the Kilroy-
Britton musical melodrama The
Cowboy Girl" when that attraction
plays its fourth engagement in this
city at the Grand Opera House next
Saturday, Matinee and night. Miss
Marshall is bright and talented
little woman, and associated with her
in the musical numbers are her
twelve dancing girls, known as 1.-The
Frisky Bronchos;" name given this
chorus of vivacious soubrettes who
dance, sing look pretty and represent
superb ensemble of fetching show
girls.
The dramatic part Of The Cowboy
Girl" is of the better sort and though
the play possesses several rather SEN
sational scenes yet they could not be
termed lurid, and are relieved by the
comedy element and catchy special
musical numbers.
Among the original song hits that
were written for this seasons pro-
duction are the following: "I'm Fond
OF You" "Bronco Boy" I'm Dear
Old Tennessee" and There's Nc
Other Girl Like the Girl I Love" AL
of which are of the kind that lingel
in ones memory for long time after
hearing.
"The Cowboy Girl" is from tbs
prolific pen of Lem B. Parker, {
writer we'll known to the patrons o
the theatre. Ki.roy- Britton have SUI
piled the play this season with a nev
scenic production, which is said t.
far surpass any previous production

fourth season is better than ever be.

attract large audienes to the Grand
