ern athletic world
A special athletic field has been secured
in order that a goodly sized track may be
built. This already is nearing completion.
1t is said to resemble those laid at the
jamestown and st. Louis expositons. 1t
is being made of clay and cinders. and
when completed will be very fast There
has been considerable rain during the last
month. but since the let up the workmen
hope to complete It before many days The
22O-yard straightaway stretch has been
completed, but there is still much to be
done on the quarter-mile track.
L. di Beneditto. secretary OF the South
ern association, is already making arrange
ments for the Importation OF northern ath-
letea According to his tentative plans. a
steamship will be chartered In New York
City to take the athletes from that mstrop-
oils to the Crescent City. Arrangements

ing pitchers for hitting a bats
man heavier than the present
rule Of giving the batsman one
base. Some who advocate a
change would give the batsman two or
even three bases and when the evil effects
OF hitting batsmen are considered this pen
atty does not seem too severe. 1t would
certainly make pitchers more careful, and
by 80 doing would contribute vastly to the
interest OF the game also, for II one thing
above all others destroys the interest in
base ball II is wild pitching; moreover It
destroys the system OF teamwork by put
ting team up in the air." But II is
argued that such heavy penalty might
invite players to get hit Not IL the
pitcher Is speedy and the umpire onto his
Job. Any player who purposely stepped
into an easy one could readily be called
out, while the man who would walk into a
swift one YOU'D get put out another way
Then It may be argued that such penalty
would be unjust where pitchers could not
avoid wlldness. BY the same token. then,
It is unjust to give batsman one base
as at present. But as a matter OF fact a
heavier penalty would not be unjust; It
would simply make the average pitcher do
what he is capable OF doIng--pitchlng with
better control. II would greatly enhance
the interest Of the game Too many good
ball players have been put out or ruined
by wild pitches and many a man, once
badly hurt, never RECEIVERS his nerve suffl-
GENTLY to enable him to bat as effectively
as before 1t is foul work and anything
calculated 10 do away with 1t in part OF

More and more is 1t becoming true that

Time and time again have brilliant young
players gone from the Western league into

Why is IT, we have been asked, you

waste of fuel, for Pa Rourke, whose gate
receipts rise and fall with the rise and fall
of his teams standing, probably cannot get
better players, or he would. And in the
next place It would be an unjust and un-
warranted attack on the players. The
player is doing his best and should not be
blamed ecause his best is no better than

an irreparable injury to the player who

BABYs MuT|LATED BODY MOUNT ETNA sPOUTNG
Found This Afternoon In Eastern
Part of the City-Dogs Dug
the Body Up.

This afternoon negro found the
body of an infant child where dogs
had dug it up, and the matter was re-
ported to the officers at once. The
negro making the discovery told of
his find to Policeman Rothrock of the
day force, who at once went to nves-
tigate. About 1:t5 o'clock he went to
the lower end of the Michaux Grove,
near the |. & G. N. railroad, and there
found the body, as described. 1t was
the body of an infant, and from ap-
pearances had been buried several
days, making it difficult to determine
whether it was the body of white
or black child. The body was wrap
been buried near the railroad. How
ever, dogs had scratched it up, and a
good part of the flesh had been eaten
away, leaving the head and part of
the upper body. Officer Rothrock at
once called Justice Dexter, who went
to the scene and took charge of the
little body. Up to the Herald's time
of going to press no inquest had been
held, and nothing more is known
about the case at this time. So far
as known there is no clue to the
origin of the child.

MAN BURNED TO DEATH
And Two Buildings Gutted As Result Of Fire EARLY
This Morning---OtheF Narrow Escapes.

One man burned to death, and a
damage of perhaps 100000 is
the result of a fire that started about.
4 o'clock this morning in the f.
E. Dublin restaurant, and which gut
ted out this building and the corner
building adjoining.
The dead man was named King
Mitchell, an old man who had been
employed around the restaurant, and
whose chief duties were to look after
the sleeping rooms above, and general
helper around the restaurant. He was
trapped in his room. Mr.. Elan Dub
lin, who was on duty when the fire
started, states he ran to the rooms
upstairs, arousing the sleepers, and
that he went to the room which
Mitchell occupied and aroused him,
telling him to run for his life. Young
Dublin states that by this time the
hall was filling with smoke and flame.
The old man told him he would come
down as soon as he could dress. He
was urged to go without dressing,
that he had no time to dress, and Dub
lin says he tried then to pull him
from the room. The smoke and flames
got so bad Dublin said he ran to save
himself, and had to throw some bed
ding over his head to protect himself
from the flames. After the flames
were subdued the body of the old
man was found where Dublin had
left him. and it was partly dressed
showing that he was caught while
trying to get into his clothes.
1t was a stubborn fire, and was
fought for about four hours before the
flames were entirely out, the fire be.

the restaurant building, and this prop

against him was bitter.

cants, that the issue of an internal
revenue stamp by the Federal Govern
ment shall be prima facie evidence of

or requiring an internal revenue stamp

and that Justices of the Peace under
this bill shall have concurrent juris-
diction with Circuit Judges It is
