WANT WITTY BALL PLAYERS.
Fresh Youngsters Have Hard Time
Breaking Into Big Leagues.

There is a lot OF difference between
a fresh youngster just breaking into
major league baseball and one having
the ability TO kid back at some Of
the many remarks he Is generally sub
jected to from the older players" says
Addie Joss. the Cleveland American
star twirier. "A youngster who has
the ability to stand for this line of talk
and can always come back with some
of the same kind Is never bothered to
any great extent by the old timers.
"The Cleveland club picked up q
newcomer, John GFaney, g. few sea-
sons ago, and he soon became the life
OF the training trip.

approach which is dead to the hole is
only sample Of what every golfer at

The longest recorded and fully au-

resigned her position to accept a posi-

HITS An ASSESSOR
And Prosecutor Ladd Says He
Will Prosecute George
E. Mackey.
DISPUTE OVER A PIANO

Because. it is said. that David L.
Reid a deputy assessor of Wayne
township endeavored to list piano
for taxation, on which payments had
not been completed, but held by Geo.
Z. Mackey, living on North H street
between Eighth and Ninth, the deputy
assessor and Mackey had an alterca-
ton at the latter's home last evening
which resulted in the assessor being
worsted. Prosecuting Attorney Char
les Ladd has been informed of the al
legations and says he will file an affi-
davit against Mackey, charging him
with assault and battery, SO it is un-
derstood.
Reid is serving under Township AS
SCISSOR Charles Potter and he told Pot
ter this morning that when he called
at the Mackey homestead last evening,
he started to list Mackey's household
goods. Mackey, according to Mr. Pot
ter, gave the household goods in at
SIS and in giving a list of the same.
Mrs. Mackey said that they owned a
piano, clock and sewing machine
which the assessor did not have listed.
Mackey, it is said. refused to give
the piano in for taxation because he
had not paid for it in full. Reid said
that that made no difference as he
would have to list the property.
Words were exchanged and Reid was
told to leave. He stated this morn
ing that he told Mackey. he would do
so but would return later. Mackey
took a stand between the assessor and
the door and when the assessor start
ed to make his departure. it is alleg-
ed that Mackey too three jabs at the
official, who however. lodged, but re-
ceived the fourth on his left shoulder
and it was OF such force that Reid
was knocked from his feet. The in
jury has proven so painful that Reid
had difficulty in putting on his clothes
today. 1t is not thought any bones
were broken.
