Southern Smothers Adams Express.

In loosely played contest Southern
Railway gave the Adams Express team
the worst beating that 1t has had this
season. the final score being II to 8.
Both teams played a poor game in the
field, Southern making six errors and
the Adams team making nine. Garrett,
who was on the firing line for the
Southern Railway team, pitched a good
game, allowing only three scattered
hits. while Harvey and Mcmahon, who
tossed them over for the Adams Elk

twelve safeties. Senseny played good

Erroneous Ideas of Salaries.

OF course it is possible that the Pirate
players who gave the information on the
subject may be mistaken, but it must be
admitted that they are in position to
learn the actual facts better than others.
It was generally agreed among them that
the public has an erroneous idea about
fancy salaries paid to players. Connie
Mack even, in war time days. is said to
have averaged only $1,000 to his players.
While the public may be wrong in it's
beliefs, the fact remains that any player
who delivers the goods in fast company
gets enough money for 1t to keep the
wolf from the door during the winter. and
most of them earn several times as much
as they could take down in any other
trade or occupation for which they are
fitted.

Wagner's Salary $4,000.

II do not say that Honus isn't worth
that price. He is. He is worth even
more, considering his playing ability. and
his value to the club from a box Office
point of view. But base ball is bust
ness proposition. and $4,000 is an enor
nous amount to give to any one player
for few months work. They will nave
to show me before they can convince
me that Honus is drawing that much.
He may be getting it. but ne is not get
ting more"
Several Of the players suggested that
the big Teuton ought to be getting a
percentage of the gate receipts. Then
the salary subject took wide range.
and the same player who is quoted
above declared that in his opinion every
member OF the Pirates who figured to
any extent in the winning of the
National League pennant and the
worlds championship received an adj
vance in salary for this year. He be-
lieved that Jack Miller's contract calls
tor more than twice as much as he
received, and that all the regular play
ers were advanced,

ut seems to be the policy Of the
club" he said, ito lend substantial en-
couragement to brains, ability and will
lingness. and it is to that fact, COM
bined with the very able leadership of
Fred Clarke, that you can credit that
ideal club spirit that prevails among
the Buccaneers. I'll venture to say
that the Pittsburg club paid out $4,000
in salaries last summer. and that no
other club paid as much. 1 have been
told, and I believe It to be true,z that
the salary HIST of the Philadelphia
Americans for the season OF 1903
amounted to only $4,000, making diff
terence of $4,000 in the money paid
out to players by two major league
clubs How Connie Mack can pay such
small salaries and manage to keep his
club up in the race is something l can
not understand"
The salaries of the Cubs were also dis
cussed, and 1t was agreed among the
players that the average and the total
Of the Pirates are much larger. Chance,
they understand, signed three-year con-
tract as manager or the team al figure
under $500, and King and Brown are
the only members OF the team receiving
anything. like 5000. Reulbach is said to
be pitching for $500. Lajoie is said to
have received $1,000 a year from Cleve-
land, of which 5000 was for managing

mentioned and their real and paper sala-

Thanksgiving at Powell

Quite q number of our towns
people went to Powell today in
respond to invitations sent out by
the business men and ladies of that
place who had made preparations
for a big Thanksgiving dinner to
be served in the hall. The feast
was public affair to which all the
town folks and people in that vi
cinity were invited and the tables
were fairly tottering under the
load of good things which we're
heaped upon them. After everyone
had satisfied the longings of the
inner man, the crowd adjourned to
the ball grounds where the single
and married men tried conclusions
on the diamond. Dave and John
Mayer were the stellar actors in
this unique and spectacular game
and we understand that Dad"
Waddell was also a hero. After the
ball game, a number of other out
door sports were pulled off includ-
ing shooting matches and foot
races.
Among those who were in at
tendance from Philip were Mr..
and Mrs. Fislar and family, A. T.
Waddell and Mr.. and Mrs. l. F.
Swisher.
Words of praise were expressed
by the visitors from Philip for the
hospitality and cordiality which
was displayed by our neighbors
on the east and Thanksgiving at
Powell in 1910 will long be remem-
bered by the guests who were
present.

DR.. Crippen paid the penalty for
the murder of his wife, Belle e.
more, the actress, within q few
minutes of the stroke of nine, on
Wednesday Nov. %, the morning
hour officially fixed for the execu-
tion. The hanging was in Pen
tonville prison, London.
The con de m ned man, who
through his trial and even until
Home Secretary Churchill refused
the petition for a reprieve, had
maintained imperturbable calmness
presented pitiable appearance as
he was literally led throughout the
corridor from his cell to the scaf-
fold. His mental anguish had been
too great to be covered up by out
ward bravado, and it was a broken
man whom wardens were obliged
to assist up the steps to the drop,
where the shrinking figure all but
collapsed.
The doomed man passed rest
less night and appeared haggard
and worn when awakened from
fitful slumbers. He seemed to lose
all fortitude as the end APPROACH
ed. His breakfast was untouched.
His face was colorless as he was
escorted, bareheaded, to the gall
lows.
The grewsome work was soon
done. The black cap was quickly
drawn over his face, the moose ad-
justed, the bolt drawn and the
body dropped Z feet. Death was
instantaneous.
