REMARKABLE PLAY

One Of tho most remarkable plays
ever witnessed on ball field, every
thing considered, took place At Detroit
during the worlds series Of 1908. And
Ty Cobb, the sensational American
Lacquer, figured in it, as did Johnny
Evers, the brainy little inflelder Of the
Cubs. says T. H. Murnane, the famous
sporting editor. Detroit had runners
on first and second, with no one out,
when Ty Cobb walked to the plate.
The score at the time being close, 1t
was Cobb's place to advance the run
ners by sacrificing or on the hit-and'
run play.
Joe Tinker, at short, held the man
close to second base, and "Three-fin'
gered" Brown, on the firing line, was
pitching his prettiest for Chicago.
Brown delivered the ball over the out
side corner of the plate, about waist
high, and Cobb made perfect bunt
the ball rolling slowly about ten feet
inside third base line.
Steinfeldt never moved from third
base. Instead, he hung there, waiting
fol- the play that was to follow. And
follow 1t did, like lightning.
AS Brown let go Of the ball, he
sprinted from his position and was
ready to pick up the ball as Cobb laid
it down, about half way between the
plate and third.
Instead of throwing from apparently
the most natural position, Brown
whirled to the left to get added force
on his throw, and shot the sphere at
Steinfeldt, with every ounce OF energy
he possessed, getting the ball to third
in time to head OF the runner.
The throw had to be not only
speedy, but absolutely accurate, and
Steinfeldt's catch was little less re-
markable than the work of the star
pitcher.
That play was planned by fertile
Drained Johnny Evers, and was car
ried out by Brown and Steinfeldt In a
manner that won the applause of even
the opposing players.
Sam Crawford, who had reached
second on the play, overran the base
a few feet, and seemed to be petrified,
for the ball was shot to Evers by
Steinfeldt in time to catch the Wahoo
wonder off the sack by several feet
for the second out.
1t was only few seconds later that
Cobb attempted to steal second, to be
thrown out by yards by Johnny King,
bringing to a close one of the most
remarkable innings ever known in
baseball, and practically cincbing An
important victory for Chicago.

SO Jack Johnson is going to get q

ting evidently that it was a fiat
footed fighter who landed that famous
solar plexus blow on him at Carson
City, New, on a certain St. Patr1cks
day long ago and robbed him OF the
championship.
Bob Fitzsimmons was f1at-footed.
He probably was the most awkward
fighter that ever entered ring SO 1ar
as foot work is concerned. But ne
always produced the goods until he
fought Jeffries, a mountain OF t1esh
who was too big for any man OF f1tz-
simmons size to whip.
Even Jeffries does not get up on
his toes in the Corbett style when ne
Is in the ring The big fellow stands
firm on his feet 1t is common
thing among negroes to be fiat-footed.
Joe Cans is flat-footed. The "old
master" like Bob Fitzsimmons, sham
bled around the ring, but he fought
with his hands and not with his feet
Billy Madden, once great middle
weight and later probably the best
trainer in the business, points to the
fact that some of theh other great
lights in the ring were fat-footed.
Among these Is Young Critic, who
was the cleverest man that ever
dOnned boxing glove.
It is strange but true that Corbett
always has been joke as dopester.
Jim was a great boxer and knew lot
about the game, but when 1t came to
picking winners he always has been
on the loser. Maybe he Is with a
winner now that he has tied up with
Jeffries, but when the battle Is over
Johnson, If defeated, will not have
lost the championship because he Is
fiat footed Nor will he be dethroned
because of anything Corbett may do
for Jeffries.
1t is doubtful II Corbett can teach
Jenries anything. Jeffries whipped

Bob round after round with his light

him to try to fight on his toes there Is

and freckled Fftzsimmons.

WHY WE TRADE.

He who stops to think, and thinks
clearly, must see that all the current
talk about basing a tariff upon the
difference in the cost of production at
home and abroad, with or without the
reasonable profit clause, is wrong, and
not right.
Who ever heard of the fur trader
asking how long it took to catch the
beaver, the mink, or the otter, and
then refusing to buy the pelts offered
him, if the trapper's earnings varied
from the wages paid in the trader
home country?
Suppose a merchant abroad were
buying a piece of cloth to make clothes
for a working man in the United States
and suppose the price of good piece of
cloth were $40. Would it be sensible
for the merchant to inquire how many
days of labor the piece represented; and,
if he were told ten days, then to refuse

Danger Signals.

Milwaukee Journal: The mere an
nouncement that John J. Fitzgerald,
the Brooklyn representative, may be a
candidate for the speakership, is enough
to cause every well wisher of the new
house to shudder.
Fitzgerald is of the same type Of Dem
ocrat, that Payne and Dalzell and Can
non are type of Republican. To elect
him to the Office of speaker or to give
him any recognition, whatsoever, would
be an affront to the great bulk of the
voters, who have overthrown Cannon
ism and placed Democratic majority
in control Of the house.
Fitzgerald's candidacy for the speak
ership is so impudent in it's pretensions,
that it can not be taken other than a
ruse to obtain the Craftsmanship of the
important committee on appropriations.
There is no possibility that the Demo
cratic representatives would be guilty
of the incredible folly of electing Fitz-
gerald, the Democratic Cannonite, to
the office of speaker.

RESPONSIBILITY.

Many are saying, and saying truth
fully, that with power comes response
bility, and are pointing out the dangers,
which will beset the Democratic ma
jority in the next house of representa-
tives. The safest way to avoid those
dangers will be to continue the present
wise Democratic leadership in the house.
Leader Clark should be made Speaker
Clark; and the Democratic majority
should hold fast to every good measure
which was gained for representative
government by the united efforts of
progressive Democrats and insurgent
Republicans. 1t was Tory Democrats,
like Senators Gorham and Bryce, who
most greatly hindered and hampered
the Cleveland administration. The
plain duty of all parties, whether in the
majority or in the minority, is to keep
faith with the people, and do that which
is right

AN ARGUM ENT AG AIN ST
THE SYST NJ

The elections of 1910 are over; but
the tariff question is still with us, and
will be with us as long as selfish inter
ests seek to secure special privileges
through tax legislation. 1t is not out of
place, therefore, to revert to a portion
of Congressman Kopp's campaign
speech in which he strove to paint the
glories of the protective policy. He
said that he would be fair enough to
admit that a protective tariff did not
directly advance the price of everything
raised on the farm; but claimed that
it did increase the price of all farm
products by furnishing home market.
To illustrate this, point, he told of a
recent visit to New England, where he
saw many prosperous manufacturing
towns, notably Brockton, Mass, where
the working men own good homes and
i've in comfort. Now, every reader of
newspaper advertisements knows that
Brockton is the home of the great shoe
factory of w. L. Douglas. 1t is also
we'll known that the earnest cry and
prayer of Mr.. Douglas is for reduction
of tariff taxes, so that his shoe factory,
and other home industries, may grow
and prosper. So, that Mr.. Kopp's illus
tration, instead of being favorable to
protection as exempliied in the Payne
Aldrich law, is an argument against
the policy of restrictive tariff taxation,
in which the people have too long ac-
guessed. Against the fragrant evils of
this system they have spoken with
mighty voice.
The voters have rendered a verdict
against special privilege. a

GOOD CITIZENS

Those who before election predicted
that no matter how the jewellers in the
cities might revolt on account of the
pinch of high prices, the farmers, in
their prosperity, would stand by the
high takers, simply misjudged the farm
ers. Farmers are governed by higher
motives than desire for mere temper
airy financial gain. They will not stand
for holding up the ultimate consumer.
Besides, they know that their prosperity
is based upon surer foundation than
that of special privileges.
