WOULD RESERVE ENTIRE
CUBS GRANDSTAND

CHICAGO, Oct. 5.-If the scheme
suggested by Secretary Mercy, of the
American League, Of reserving the en-
tire grandstand at the Cubs park
here goes through. there will be 49,
600 reserved seats on sale.
The present number OF reserved
seats Is so limited that In disposing
of tickets by mail not more than 10
per cent of the orders could be filled.
1t is also believed reserviug the en-
tire grandstand would kill off some
OF the scalpers trade.
The question, however, must be up
to the National Commission, and a
ruling will probably be made before
the end of the week.

BREAKS LEG
IN FOOTBALL

ANN ARBOR, Mich. Oct. 5.-The
new football rules seem to contain no
representatives. for broken legs. Grover
Harrington. Spokane. Wash, broke
his left leg just above the ankle In
scrimmage yesterday and the Michi-
gan varsity team loses one OF It's
most promising candidates.
Harrington was tackled by three
scrubs and In the mixup his leg
snapped. He was taken to the hos.
pital.
The scrubs and varsity mad a lively
practice yesterday. In 40 minutes oil
play the varsity scored four touch
downs and the scrubs made one. Dor
Green fumbled punt and one of the
scrubs ran 20 yards with the ball, be
ing tackled just as he crossed the goa
line.
The second team Is giving the reg
ulars some stiff practice. seven new
men having been added to the squad
within the past few days. Twenty-Five
scrubs are working on signals.

destinies OF ball clubs and watched
the players at their wage-earning, says
McInnis is the best natural player he
ever saw.
Nor Is 1t because OF the gift of
divination that Mack makes this state
ment. McInnis is the best pinch hit
ter on the team. He goes to bat In a
pinch and II makes no difference who
is on the slab. the mightiest Johnson
or veriest bushman. he hits one as
readily as the other. In six games he
has hurried into the breach. and he
made good.
The Detroit times., 1910-10-05

McInnis' daring on the bases against
Ed Walsh in the royal Thinning game
against Coombs, was responsible for
the run that tied the score when 1t
seemed no earthly power had chance
against Chicago's moist mystifier.
AS player McInnis Is a wonder,
and equipped with this power to d.
vine another fellows hand before he
plays 1t. makes him the greatest In

are even better than the brown ones
which flash his emotions to his fellow

Suppose the endorsement of Dick
is not binding, as he claims; how
much better off will the state of Ohio
be with Herrick for senator instead
of Dick? Suppose again that the leg

In order to avoid mistakes elect a

OPENING
Of The Bible Institute Occurs
This Evening

Tonight at 1880, is the hour for the
opening of the Bible institute at the
Young Mems Christian Association.
Rev. j. e. Turner, who is TO conduct
the institute, comes as one of the
best equipped institute workers in
the country, and judging from his
knowledge of the Scriptures he is cap
able of referring hearers to the pass
age that will answer any question
that may be put to him-all this is
done without referring to any COM
mentary. He is able to quote almost
the entire Bible and the best of all
his ability as an interpreter, he is
able to make the truth plain to his
pupils. The first class for chilren, un-
der 10, will be held Tuesday after
noon at $40, and will last but twenty
minutes. 1t is hoped that there will
lie large attendance Of parents this
evening as Mr.. Turner will outline
the work to be given the children, and
explain relative to an exhibition that
he will give at the close of the course.

Mrs. Isaac l.. Rice of New York So
ciety for the Suppression of Unnec-
essary Noises: "In order to show
at glance what has already been
gained by legislation in preventing
Fourth of July accidents, let us place
side by side the results obtained a few
months ago in two groups of cities.
In the nrst let us put Washington,
Cleveland, Baltimore and Toledo,
which cities protected by prohibitive
or restrictive ordinances, gave last
Fourth of July total of twelve acci-
dents. The other four, New York,
Philadelphia, Boston and st. Louis,
which were all relatively unprotected,
gave total of 1 1896 accidents, or an,
average of almost $50 apiece. Drastic
ordinances and stern endorsements are
required if we are ever to down our
national disgrace"
1t has been demonstrated that ordi-
nances which seek to regulate the
use of fire works after they get into
the hands of our youth are practically
troll this matter with an ordinary po-
lice force and to enforce the ordi-
nance. The only effective means is to
prohibit the sale as is proposed in the
ordinance above referred to. The
present methods of celebrating the
Fourth of July are not patriotic and
are not calculated to instill any valu-
able lessons into the minds of the
youth of the Ian 1t would be much
better If the celebrations were under
civic control; If the municipal author.
tiles would themselves take the mat
ter up and provide programme suita-
bic to the occasion, and if necessary
have pyrotechnic display, but so con-
trolled and operated as to eliminate
all possible danger.
Will not the people of our different
municipalities interest themselves
enough in the protection of the lives
of their children and the preservation
of the property of themselves and
neighbors to urge upon their respect
i've councilmen that they support such
measure as is above proposed if
introduced, and If no measure is yet
pending in their councilmanic bodies
see that one is introduced?
With the ordinance above proposed
in operation in all our cities and vii
lagos, we are satisfied that the num-
Der of accidents and fires as the re-
suit of celebration of the Glorious
Fourth" will be reduced at least 80
per cept within the confines of the

TO PROHIBIT fireworks

Columbus, O., May Estate Fire
Marshal John w. Zuber has issued
bulletin on 1.-The Fourth of July-Mun.
icipalities Urged to Prohibit Sale of
Fireworks" The bulletin follows:
For number of years the Fire
Marshals Office has been issuing
bulletins warning the people against
the dangers in our customary meth
DDS of celebrating the Fourth of July.
The people have been instructed as
to the more dangerous kinds of fire.
works, have been urged to use the
greatest caution in the purchase and
use of them by their families and have
been advised as to the best method
Of treatment in case of injury These
warnings have, however, apparently
had small effect in reducing the num-
Der of accidents and fires as the re-
suit of the use of dangerous kinds of
fire works, and the careless use of
the less harmful varieties.
II has been determined that the time
has come when this Department
should take some more practical steps
toward eliminating this dangerous
form of patriotic celebration.
To this end there will be sent out
concurrently with the mailing of this
bulletin letter to each of the mayors
and fire chiefs in the different munich
palities of this State, and a copy of
anordinance enclosed Herewith which
they will be requested to have intro
duced in the various councils and to
urge ts,passage.
This ordinance will prohibit the Civ
ing away or having in possession for
sale or offering for sale in the various
municipalities OF the many kinds OF
fire works and other articles for the
making of a pyrotechnic display. 1t
will provide. however, for large cele.
brations under proper authority and
control.
1t is the purpose of this bulletin to
enlist the support of the people fol

was the first year of the operation OF
the ordinance, there was not single

The governor said in his veto mes
sage that that chief objection to the
bill is that it is only the mangled re-

The people of Ohio know where it
was mangled, by whom, and why. It.
was mangled in the lower house of

majority of that body, and at the die
tation of the &. o. p. bosses who con-
trolled the Republican majority in
both branches throughout the session.
The election of legislature this fall
with Democratic majority in both
branches will prevent such mangling
