JOE TINKER TELLS OF INSIDE WORK OF
 MODERN BASEBALL
Chicago NatirHal Sh rtstOp Says ifs
 More Than Hit.and.Run.

Nothing demonstrates more forcfbly the high state of perfection to which the modern baseball team must play to be successful. nor shows why team V ork is better than individual play. than an article by Joe Tinker. the Chicago National shortstop who wrote one day for the Butte. Montana Even ing News. The article describes the inner workings of the Cub system of team play. which club is given the credit for bringing the inside game to the greatest perfection Tinker $ statement alone that he has fifteen signals to remember shows how intri- cate the game Is as 1t Is now played It will be apparent to many who read the portions of Joe's story that every player at bat or in the field. is ex- pected to do more than to hit and field the ball
 Lots of things happen on the fed during a game" writes Tinker. "tha- the fans don't see and that most of them would not understand if they did This is the inside working of . championship club. The Cubs. with Frank Chance as leader. have been given the credit for bringing this in side game to the greatest perfection. I have fifteen signals. all of which must have in my mind. any one of which I may be called upon to use in a seconds time.
 At the bat we have three signs which are working with the three men preceding us In the batting order and three signs with the men follow ing us at bat.

 With these signs we have worked up a method of breaking up the hit and ruR play. and Evers and are the only pair who use it.
 @That is what you call inside work. That is why Evers and I have been regarded as a team of two playing in to each others hands on all occasions. It keeps a fellow on edge and that i= why you see SO many players peevish and worn town at the end of a hard fight for first place It's because their taervas are giving way under this strain.

DR YFUSS AND HERMAN THREATEN TO ABANDON
 THE NATIONAL LEAGUE
FINISH OF C. WEBB MURPHY IS n
 SIGHT.

The weight of public opinion com bined with Ban Johnson's declaration to oppose the National league. which would lead to another baseball strife. Is gradually driving Charles w. Mur- phy into the background in his att tempt to defeat John A Heydler for she presidency of the National league.
 Brush of the Giants will not commit himself on the question of Mir. Heyd- ler's retention in ofice. From Mir. Brush's remarks on the matter it is inferred that, while he has nothing against President Heydler. he consid- CTS another man even more able than the present incumbent
 DOsEN'T WANT WAR
 But the noise caused throughout the country over the attempt to fire Hev- dler will have a lot of weight with MT. Brush, and If he thought that the cleo ton Of John M. Ward would cause strife 1t Is safe to say that he will vote to avoid trouble.
 War clouds are gathering in the West The open opposition 70 Charley Murphy by Barney Dreyfuss and Gar ry Hermann is no blum. While they will not say what they Intend doing If Murphy wins out tn his light to control the National league. 1t is strongly intimated that. Cincinnati and Pittsburg will side with Ban Johnson and join the American league. This would virtually wreck the National league.
 Heydler Is sure of Your votesc Pitts burg and Cincinnati are with him to the last ditch Boston Is also pledged to vote for him and Messrs. Hermann and Dreyfuss have about convinced Stanley Robinson of St. Louis. that the reelection of MT. Heydler Is about the only thing that will prevent a baseball war
 Four votes for Heydler would mean a deadlock and this is equivalent to an election.
 The election of Heydler means the retention of Garry Hermann as a member of the national commission Murphy's plan Is to kin two birds with one shot His fight Is not alone against Heydler. but he wants Herr man off the commission Hermann dared vote against Murphy in several cases that hit the Chicago club.
 Unless he defeats Heydler he cannot expect anything from the commission in the Kling case. as Ban Johnson and Garry Hermann would surely vote against his playing of Kiing un- til he has been out three years With John M- Ward and a man of his own selection on the commission Murphy could get a fayorite vote on Kling.

HOME COMING in AUGUST.
Citizens Decide Upon Last Week in
August, Same Week as the
County Fair.

Winneshiek county will have a
Home Coming this year, and it will
be the real thing. 1t will be the
first event of the kind ever held
here, and nothing will be left un-
done to make it eclipse any public
occasion ever known in the county
An early start has been made so
that there will be plenty of time to
advertise it thoroughly, and so that
the hundreds all over the northwest
who will come home" to Winnie
shiek county this fall can make
their arrangements accordingly.
The Decorah Commercial Club
met at the city hall on Friday even
ing to determine upon the matter.
the committee to take up the matter
of railroad rates reported progress,
and the organization was perfected
by electing Mr.. Ben Bear president
and Mr.. G. N. Houck secretary, and
the dates determined upon, August
23d to 29th. 1. will be held the
same week as the county fair, so
that there will be plenty of enter
tainment for the visitors, and
much better line of attractions for
the fair will be secured than we
have ever had before. 1t will be
one continuous round of pleasure
for an entire week. A Publicity and
committee, consisting
of representative of the eight news
papers of the county, was provided
for, together with a Finance Com
mittee, consisting of the presidents
of the four Decorah banks, and an
Committee, to be appoint
ed by the president.
A great deal of enthusiasm was
shown by those present at the meet
ing, and if we mistake not, the
Home Coming will be made a great
success, an event long to be remem-
bered.

If Diaz of Mexico shall survive
until the last month of 1909, he
will have been President OF that
country for twenty-five years. The
third term question has never
troubled Mexico, which is repub-
lie in name only. Nevertheless, the
Diaz autocracy is the best govern
ment the country has ever had, and
if such government could be trans
ferred to Cuba, there would be bet
ter hope for that unstable people.

An advertisement campaign needs
to be persistent to be effective. A
small regular ad is better than an
equal amount of space concentrated
into a few issues followed by no ad-
vertising. The first impression to
give the public is that you are out
for business every day in the year,
and intermittent advertising sug-
gests an over amount of vacations.

Assurances are given that the ex-
ira session of Congress will end
June 1st with the tariff question
settled. 1t means millions of dol
lars to the country's business fer
1909 to have the question settled a
month earlier than had been ex-
pected. Business men are in no
position to place orders until they
can find what the tariff will allow
them to charge for their goods.
