 Tinker, though his batting average was only .266 last season. rapped for .347 when facing the New York speed dispensers. Mathewson was the local wizard whose delivery was particular ly easy for the Chicago shortstop. Against the life insurance canvasser Tinker batted .421, half his hits being long ones.
 George Wiltse, the best southpaw in the business. according to Hans Wag- ner, was damned for .370 by Tinker. and Otis Crandall for .312. Leon Ames. in one game. suffered to the extent of .667. The only men who puzzled the Chicagoan were Joe McGinnity and Luther Taylor.
 Tinker also made his personality prominent In Chicago's games with the Superbas. Against the Brooklyns the Chicagoan batted .316. Ills batting average against both Greater New York teams was 331 or 65 points high l CT than his 1908 notch. Tinker found Fucker the easiest of the Brooklyn boxmen, McIntire the hardest Joe won a game for the Cubs in Washington Park on July 24 in the eleventh inning by doubling to right scoring Evers. and three days later found George Bell for four hits, one a triple.

Local Redmen Plan to
 Build Their OUn Home

Great was the column of smoke that arose from the wigwam Of the Eeo Men in council meeting a few nights ago when the council fire was lighted and the pipes lit. Of course the usual thought dance" was performed by the older members, the music being TUT. nished by the tom-toms and by blowing into the horns of dead oxen.
 A great battle-scared chief arose and smote his breast as the dance ended. With fiery eyes he turned upon the chiefs of the tribe and spoke:
 Am I dog that I seek the shelter of another's tent-fap: Are we wolves that we howl homeless through the for ests? Are the great braves of this reservation content with the agent telling them when they might enter our council wigwam and when we must leave2"
 For few moments the reek of half cured tobacco permeated the air, the smoke-cloud hanging heavily, then young buck arose and sprang into the firelight, the red war stripes on his glistening. yellow skin standing out balefully in the fickering frelight. Turning to the assembled chiefs he spoke:
 Does the grizzly beg rest room of the thrush? Does the beaver sneak in- to the home of the water rat? Are we

 Near the head of Bell Street, the club has leased for a number of years six acres of land as smooth and level as floor. The six-foot fence around the grounds is being built now. A comfortable .40-foot grand stand will be built. as we'll as two 30-foot bleach CTS, white and negro, and by the mid dle of March. 1t Is hoped that the grounds will be completely equipped.

 Again the smoke of the council pipes floated gracefully in clouds over the feathered heads. and after .the third filing the Sachem of the tribe arose and spoke to the chiefs:

 The spoken word having been given out the chiefs arose Ssrom their seats and journeyed to their tepees where they told that which had been done to those who were under them. And the council word was sent out to the other tribes that the warriors were to have thelr own home and no others should enter therein.

Profits in Dentistry Enormous
 

The material for a 22-K. Gold Crown cost only about $50. A skillful dentist can make and put one on in thirty minutes. In Montgomery and Selma private dentists charge from 5000 to $20.00 for Gold Crowns.
 It is not surprising that the Dental Parlors can cut the price to $500 and still have a good profit. The profit on bridge work and gold filings is about the same as on crown work, but on plates, which requires a lot of work, the profits are smaller.

his people are on the road the West Montgomery Club will schedule all the games that they can with any amateur team in Alabama or out of the State, that thinks they have a chance with the West Montgomery bunch.
 "we don't claim that we have team of world beaters in the amateur line," they say but we do say. and think we can prove it. that we have an anna teur team that is about as fast as any thing of the kind in this part of the country"
 This looks like there will be some thing doing in the amateur baseball game in Montgomery this summer, and the outlook Is for a~highly interesting summers sport.

Cy Young Is Boston's star. but Lord and Mcconnell are getting there. Wag- ner Is a great fielding shortstop. but not a strong batter. Thoney's weak arm keeps him out of the all-star ag- gregation, while Gessler's fielding lim- itations prevent him from being con- sidered as such. Manager Lake has several good young pitchers. but nope can be considered a Star just yet. As for Washington. Johnson and Street possess the class of that team and as for Philadelphia, none of the present list of Athletics seems to approach the al-star test, unless 1t Is Eddie Plank. who surely Is a great left-hander.

The Sherman AT.

One of the most important arti-
cles in the current number OF the
North American Review is a paper
entitled "Mr. Taft and tine Sherman
Act" by Thomas Thacher of the
New York York bar. 1t ds every
where admitted that experience in
the application of the Sherman Act
to affairs has proved the necessity of
certain cardinal changes In It's pro-
visions. Some OF the w1sest and
most adequate suggestions in that
direction have been made, in certain
public utterances by President Taft,
and Mr.. Thatcher in his article aua-
lyzes these suggestions and urges
them upon Congress, as indicating
the nature of the changes that
should be made in the law. The
aim of any revision OF the law
which may be attempted should be
to make competition free in the in
terest OF consumers. and to restrain
competition in the interest of the
weaker among competing producers
and traders. Mr.. Thatcher says:
1T is submitted that the first
question to be put in the proposed
inquiry is, whether 'monopolizing.'
