Msnnonites' Founder.

The Mennonites take their name
from Memo Simons, born in Witmar-
sum, Holland, in 1892. He entered
the priesthood of the Roman Catholic
Church, renounced Catholicism early
In 1886 and was baptized at Leeu-
warden. In the course Of the follow
ing year he was ordained minister
In what was then known as the Old
Evangelical or Waldensian Church.
From this time on to his death, in
1853, he was active travelling through
northern Germany and preaching
everywhere. The churches which he
organized as a result of his labors re-
jected infant baptism and held to the
principle of non-resistance. A severe
persecution began to make itself felt
against his followers, the Mennonites,
and having heard accounts of the
colony established in the New World
by William Penn. they began to emf
crate to Pennsylvania near the end
Of the seventeenth century.

Some Advice.

The following was sent by a coun-
tryman to his son in college not many
years ago:
My Dear Son--I write to send you
two pair of old breeches. that you
may have a new coat made of them.
Also some new socks, which your
mother knit by cutting down some OF
mine. Your mother sends you $40 with
out my knowledge, and for fear you
will not spend it wisely | have kept
back half and only send five. Your
mother and I are well, except your
sister Annie has got the measles,
which we think would spread among
other girls, If Tom had not had them
before, and he is the only one left
hope you are we'll and will do honor
to my teachings. If you do not you
are an ass, and your mother and my.
self are your affectionate parents"

El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1910-06-23

A week ago D. AlOysius ODOnOvan,
who yields the managerial staff in
Douglas Demon town, announced that
a big league phenom would arrive in
time TO pitch the Sunday game against
the Mavericks, and after the Demons
returned home, the announcement was
made that the epected did not arrive,
but word had been received from Chi
cago-ChicagO, mind yOu-that he
would leave in a few days. Can this
mean that Jimmie Scott is to join
O'Donovan's Dons? That's what ma
jority about town fairly well posted in
baseball affairs tsink. Scott hasn't
been doing much for the White Sox
this year and rumors of his release are
rife. O'Donovan has played in a great
deal more luck, however. than the rest
of the cactus managers this year al
though he brought Hank MathewsOn
out here as a pitcher, and he fell down
dismany. He was switched to left field,
where he's playing the best ball OF any
one else in the same position. He
leads HIS club in hitting and is knock
ing them out like a fiend. oscar Pitts,
secured from Bisbee, hasn't rounded
into shape as a pitcher, but can also
play good outfield and is handy man
to have around to send in to bat at
critical stages Pitts is a remarkably
good hitter. Douglas only has Kane
and Walters on the twirling staff, but
both are going at their best right now
and will be hard to beat It took the
RUDE a long time TO get in shape, but
he now seems to be all to the good.

least. The big fellow, after a confer
ence with the local directors and man

TEXAS LEAGUE NOTES
By Horace H. Shelton,

In the at home Series just closed the
BrOnchOs won IL out of the % games
played. The record was as follows:
Three out Of five from Waco, four
straight from Galveston, three out of
four from Houston, three straight from
Dallas, two out of three from Shreve-
port and two out of three from Okla
homa City. The Fort Worth Panthers
swept the series, beating the Bronchos
three straights.
The forfeited games Houston is get
ting just at present is building up that
teams percentage just as well us if the
games were being won by hard play.
That team certainly is in luck this
year.
Templeton. the college wonder, scorns
offers of professional baseball man.
ayers. His pitching is a sensation and
he has been offered a place at a fancy
salary with Boston or New York, but
he prefers to keep out of the game
in a professional sense at present. He
will be eventually landed. He halls
from Williamsport, Mass.
CARRIER, of Galveston, has pitched
three games in six days and has won
them all A fine record but a pace
that will kill any pitcher. no matter
how strong
Burke. pitcher for the Panthers, is
showing up fine. In a recent game
with Houston he let the champions
down with only three hits in nine in
nings. Not a score was made.
Heinne Mag, second baseman for the
the Dallas Giants, will be out of the
game for several days. He had finger
knocked out of joint by a hot liner a
few days ago.
Chester Johnson, of Fort Worth, ath-
letic director of the Polytechnic COL
lege, desires a place on the Texas
league as a permanent umpire Presi-
dent Allen would do mighty we'll to add
such a man to the staff. He would do
a great deal to stop the present umpire
batting.
The trip of the Oklahoma Indians
through Texas has been q triumphant
one They will return tol their happy
hunting grounds with plenty of scalps
to show as a result of their little war
trip.
Higgins, who the St. Louis Cardinals
released to Bloomington of the Three
I league, after he had been offered to
Denver and Louisville, is pitching some
fine ball just now. The teams which
failed to get him now see that they made
mistake.
The friends Of old John Bastain, who
played first base for a time last year
with the San Antonio club, will be glad
