DOESN'T WANT HIM
Decatur Makes 1t Plain Kinsella
Will Not Be Welcome With
His Ball Team.
HAVE ENOUGH OF THE SORT
Press Asserts That Baseball There In
Future Must BE for Benefit
of the Public.

Dick Kinsella's reported plan &c
take his team to Decatur next yeal
does not meet with much encourage
ment from the press of that city. The
Herald says:
The Illinois State Journal at Spring
field has suggested what has been
generally understood in Decatur, that
Dick Kinsella has designs on this city
as the future location of his activities
1t was felt at the time he announced
his decision to transfer the baseball
game here next Monday between the
Senators and Davenport, that some
thing Of that sort might follow. In
fact his plans date further back than
that, for Kinsella offered to take half
the burden of the Northern Association
team at the time the club was on the
rocks before Messrs. Campbell and
Sanders took It early in the season.
Decatur Not COnsuIIeG.
But Dick Kinsella has not consult
ed as yet the people whom he woul6
ask TO support his team in Decatur.
Were he to go to the average fan with
his plan of opening up here next sea,
son, he would probably not only spot
his welcome next Monday, but receive
a rebuff that would change his course
instanter. Asked the question, Would
MT Kinsella give us a good team?
the fans would say, Yes, certainly. He
has always given Springfield a fast
team Wei what is the objection?
is the next query.
And then 1t comes out. Everyone In

Springfield feels that Kinsella Is a
splendid baseball director for himself
He knows the game. He can recog-
nize ability in a young player. and de
velop it. But 10 what end For his
own gain. 1t does not matter how
much a player is liked. The fans anc
their wishes are never considered
where profit for the magnate is con-
cerned And what is baseball for? In
the Three-Eye league and practically
every league below the American as
ISOLATION, the people as a whole must
be given the benefit of the game. As
soon as it becomes a money-makinR
machine for those in control. there Is
not enough interest left to hold up the
attendance, and the bottom is bound Il
drop out.
Have Had Enough.
Decatur has had enough of this bot
tom busting business in the last IL
months. We want to return to the
game with the best men, not Of the
cities around us, but of Decatur be

Not So Profitable After All.

story that Kinsella has realized g..

the lanlzy pitcher being merely farmed

some OF the other deals are not much
more remunerative.

The Rock Island and Davenport po-
licemen clashed in a baseball contest
year ago. Rock Island won. Since
then, so the word comes from Daven-
port, new talent has been developed,
and the Iowans are already Offering
odds that they will return home with
Rock Islands scalp. Mayor G.. w. Nc
Caskrin has assumed personal direc
ton of the local aggregation, and he
says ii is to be his policy to refrain
from Dragging before the meeting. He
would rather that the score board tell
the story.

Everyone who is troubled with sore,
sweaty or tender feet-swollen feet
smelly feet corns, callouses or bunions
Here is instant relief and a lasting, per-
manent remedy-it's called TIZ. TIZ
makes sore feet well and swollen feet
are quickly reduced to their natural
size Thousands of ladies have been
able to wear shoes full size smaller
with perfect comfort
It's the only foot remedy ever made

out all the poisonous exudations which
cause sore feet. Powders and other
remedies merely clog up the pores TIZ

VISION AND FAITH

The Rev. John J. Wicker. Brooklyn:
Every great man is man of great
faith. If you take the eleventh Of
Hebrews, you have list of great men
What made them great? Faith. Abel
was great because he saw the awful
ness of sin. Sin did not look bad to
Cain But to Abel it meant the neces-
sity for blood shedding. No nnan is
great who has no vision of the dread
fulness OF sin. AL the worlds great
writer's have proven this Nearly all
Shakespeare has written can be un-
derstood if we keep in mind the
wages of sin is death,'' and "whatso-
ever a man soweth, that shall he also
reap" Abraham was great because
he had vision. He went out not
knowing whittier he vent, but he Lad
an ina gination on the subject. He 1e-
lieved God. and that belief made a
vision Of land toward which he
moved with confidence, He dreamed
OF the land flowing With milk and

In these days of agitation over the
increased cost of living. there is much
food for thought in an old account
book kept by a college student about
seventy years ago, and which is told
or by writer in the Congregationalist
In comparison with the living expenses
of this student, board at the Univer-
sity Dining Club of the University of
Missouri would be considered rather

cluded furnished room, but neither
light nor fuel, for these are noted
as costing for the entire four years
1882. He paid a little more for
board the second year, and in his SEN
ior year advanced to $1S4 a week.
The luxurious living of this later per-
iod may be accounted for when we
learn that for Teaching at RI
eight weeks in winter of sophomore
-year' he received the princely salary
of SAG. AS there is no mention of
outlay for board during this term, it
is fair to infer that he followed the
custom of the day. and received free
entertainment at the homes of his
pupils.
The clothing of this student cost an
average of about $50 year, less than
the neckties and fancy hoes of any
a modern college youth.
1t is the 'incidentals" that interest
most, for these best show the char
acter OF the man. For the entire five
years at preparatory school and col
lege they amount to just S50.36, in
Guiding among other things a SO watch,
few lectures and his commencement
expenses. There is nothing that

extravaganza could only have been
justified by that munificent salary of
