[ From the Louisville Herald.
 You have seen the poser of the \ outheld, haven't you?
 \ He gets out in the deep outheld pe'
 fore the game. He sets himself aftei
 zach catch. Then he throws on a line !. to the plate You marvel at the E strength of his arm. You wonder al . the accuracy of his eye. You applaud
 He doffs his hat.
 E You maybe think it's a fine feature I when you get out early and have noun K ing else to do. ,,is-...s But you should hear the fellows or I the bench How they howl and rage
 at the fellow.
 \ Because they are envious? H Not for moments They regaro \ that fellow as the original "bonehead \ of baseball. For he is destroying thai 5 which. he cannot repiace-his arm. He
 is shortening his days in the big game Every throw is a step nearer the minors.
 Understand those ball players on the bench don't want the man to save ms arm when it's needed They believe fin getting the kinks out. They woulo
 swear at a player who missed play
 rather than work his arm
 
 for the admiration and applause of the
 fans, is a thing that ball players can
 not tolerate They love their arms Just
 as they love their bank accounts. And
 they have no respect for that man who throws just for the pleasure he derives from the cheers of his admirers. Conserving the arm Is an art-a fine art. There are players who do not be- lieve that and who have paid the pen atty.
 Here is an illustrations A few years ago Terry Turner Of the Maps and Bobby Wallace were consid- cred among the best throwers in base \ ball.
 | f. It was a toss-up between the two. You could get an argument any time that You stated that either was better than the other. Arm Not at Its Best |, sThat was a few years ago. And nowl Turner has been worth little to the CleVe- land club in two years. Why? His wing |ds bad And Wallace? He throws the lfheet runners out at first Just as ne oio wears ago.
 The difference?
 "A big one when once you discover it. Take. Wallace. Let a numbering pitcher fits to him and he will be out at first
 base by a step. Let Tyrus Cobb hit to Wallace and he will be out by step. |. But Cobb is faster than the lumbering pitcher. But when the numbering pitcher hit to Wallace, Bobby threw easy. Just |l0bbed the ball to first. Mind you, he got fit there in time to nail his man. When .Cobb hit to Wallace he threw fast. lie had to in order to get his man. l. Then look at Turner If the pitcher hit to him he shot the ball to first on line and had the runner by yards. If Cobb hit to him he shot the ball across at the same speed and got his man by step. He didn't save his arm. He worked just as hard to get out the slow man as he did the fast one.
 He had a good arm. But he didn't conserve it.
 s Wallace had a good arm and did con- |berve it.
 That's the difference in the two men.

Pads in Exercise

.Dr. Woods Hutchinson in criticising the different fads of exercise in the April Outing says:
 '"rhe worst error of exercise, the most dangerous fad of physical culture. is not to take enough of it, and to sheer at every form of it that does not bear the dollar mark. By one of those cynical poetic justices of nature, the very men who denounce all physical culture and recreation as fads are those who pay the heaviest personal penalty for this de- fusion. They use the vigor that they have gained in early youth in natures open-air school to chain themselves to the desk, to bury themselves in dungeon- like offices or airless workrooms F or 14 hours d 1ay. They feel fine and are sure they are going to live to be g. hundred;

Grdndstand Players
 First To GiUe Out

Supposing you had never seen ball game, what part of it would you like best?
 Hans Wagner putting all the strength of his arms and body in the bat and leaning against the ball?
 Tyrus Cobb capturing what seemed an impossible drive after a great run?
 Johnny Evers spearing a high throw with one had and touching the run ner with the same movement?
 Joe Birmingham of the Cleveland Maps cutting soff a man at the plate by grea throw?
 There is no telling what you would admire most, But Billy Evans, the American league umpire. says that men watching a ball game for the first time care more for the throwing in 1t than for any other feature.
 "One day in Philadelphia bunch of Englishmen came out to the park They had never seen a baseball game before. There was lots of batting. There was lots of base running. There were several spectacular catches. There was some magnificent pitching in spots. All in all, every department of the game was represented.
 Throwing Makes Hit ~
 But it was the throwing that made Ia tremendous hit with the English men. They marveled at the long throws from the outfield, and could not understand how a man could train his eye and arm to bounce a ball to the catcher on first bound from deep center and right and left fields.
 They were astonshed at the accuracy with which the basemen threw to one another
 ''They opened my eyes to the fact that the throwing in a baseball game is thing that is often overlooked. The curve ball and the control of the pitchers amazed them. But the climax came when Jimmy Dygert pitched a few spit balls.
 "They lined up in front of the grand stand after the game. One of them was skeptical. He wanted to see a curve ball.
 "The only way he could be convinced was to allow him to catch a few. So we gave him a glove and told Dygert to deliver. .-.s.e 5i,.- Englishman As a Catcher
 Now, this Dygert has as good spit ball as any man in the country. The first one. hit the Englishman on the foot He looked a bit queer. Dygert then sent a fast one which he caught. By this time he was pretty cocky. Then Dygert handed him fine splitter. It broke in front of the Englishrnan. Well, he managed to catch about every other ball. The ones he didn't catch smashed him on the wrist or on the chest pro- tector and the result was he was jolly well satisfied to quit" "

KEEPING THE
INDIANS DRY
UNCLE SAM COMPELLED
TO ENFORCE PROHIBI-
TON.
Federal Government is Strong
Enough to Keep Oklahoma
Indians Sober.

The Federal Government has
found 1t necessary to take charge
OF prohibition enforcement in
Usage County, or the Usage In
DIAN Nation, Notwithstanding the
lact that there is stringent state
prohibition law in existence. Dur
ing the recent visit to Oklahoma
Oh commissioner Valentine of the
Indian bureau he made the state
ment that liquor must be kept
from restricted Indians, and he
invited the cooperation of the
white citizens In the Usage coun-
try. Since the town site of Paw
nuska, was sold and federal con-
troll transferred, the Indian
agents or superintendent can
take no positive action to handle
bootleggers.
Following the visit of Commits
sioner Valentine a statement was
made by Hugh Pitzer, the Usage
Indian agent in regard to the
great amount of intoxicants sold
the Osages. He said that on one
afternoon twelve drunken Indi-
ans were counted in the space of
three blocks and he wanted citi-
zens that if the authorities were
not able to enforce the laws If
would be necessar to call upon
the Federal Government. He
adds: Il have no hesitancy in
saying that the Indian Depart
ment will sustain me in such an
action"
Soon afterward the federal au-
thorlties undertook the work of
making the Usage Nation dry,
and they are succeeding. Rev.
Z. e Brannon. a special officer
under the Interior Department,
has been detailed in the work.
The results show the difference
between the federal and state
method of enforcing prohibition
laws.
Brannon watches the railroad
depots in towns in Usage county,
and conhscates every shipment
that comes in there. If he believes
that any person has more liquor
about his premises than he needs
for his own use, the officer also
conhscates it. He took a barrel
which had been shipped to a drug
company at Skatook the other
day. The barrel was filled with
bottles of whisky, and it had been
packed in the center of large
box marked heavy glasswars."
The officer discovered that the
glassware was whisky, and then
searched the home of the drug
gist and took the goods.
1t is said that Pawhuska, HON.
my and Bigheart are dryer than
they have ever been since state
hood. The government does not
want liquor sold in the Usage
Reservation and is enforcing the
law.

point was made in an address by
Gen. Nelson A. Miles. He declar-
ed the Indians never broke a
treaty with the Americans. The
latter on the other hand broke
every one ever made with the red
man.
Representative Barnhart of
the South Bend district, is pre-
pairing data for a speech he will
make when the ship subsidy bill
is up for debate in the house. Re-
Gently Mr.. Barnhart has been in
correspondence with a large num-
Der OF leading shippers and the
statistics he has compiled from
the replies from the basis for
very strong argument against
the proposed measure. Mr.. Barn
hart has collected a number of
newspaper clippings on the sub
ject and he will read several of
these in the course of his re-
marks. On a column and quar-
ter editorial from the South Bend
Tribune, which is particularly
forceful. Mr.. Barnllart will move
to have printed in the Congress
sic nal Record.
Barnhart Bill to Garry.
Advance information ION the
bill, the house committee on post
Offices and post roads indicates
an almost certain favorable re-
port on Representative Barn
hart's bill for an investigation OF
the government mail contracts. 1t
is stated In an authoritative quar-
ter, the committee proposes to
look particularly into this feature
OF the postal service before the
present session of Congress ends
1t may be that there. will be a
complete reorganization OF the
contract system between the
postofice department and the
railroads. Charges from various
quarters have been made that one
of the primary causes of the pos
tai deficit is the "hold-ups" of GER
tain lines of railroad. The COM
mittee has taken official cogni-
zance OF this alleged state of af-
fairs. An exhaustive list of ques-
tons has been prepared and there
have been sent to all classes of
men throughout the country with
requests that If the recipient
knows from investigation that
a railroad is being overpaid for
any particular mail service he
will communicate the facts to the
committee. The committee has
also signifed It's willingness to
hear any one who has facts tend
ing to show that remuneration
paid the transportation COM
panies, railroads, electric and
steamship lines, is excessive. The
replies to the queries of the COM
mittee. sent to the business men,
bankers. rate experts, farmers
and those following other voca-
tons will begin to arrive in a
short time. Eventually all the in
formation will be collected and
the committees will set about tol

way of legislation, or otherwise.

Laws Favor Commerce.

Disguise it as you will the
trend of the laws in this country
for the past forty years has been
to make business of manufacture
ing, commerce and trade more at
tractive and profitable to the ex-
pense of the farmer and the coun-
try. until today the cry is raised
on the high cost of living. 1t is
the natural and logical result OF
special legislation giving manu-
featuring and commerce and
transportation a marked advan-
tage over the tillers of the soil
who have in the past and will in
the future produce the wealth
from the soil. TO enable the fac
tories and merchants to make
money by exchange.
There is now pending in con.
gresS some half dozen good road
bills. which. to say the least, i,
an evidence that the public de
mand is for congress to do some
thing toward cheapening trans

said Mr.. Jones, land subordinate
state and national oranges have
urged that good roads be built
by the cooperation of local,
county, state and national aid.
Good roads increase the value OF
abutting lands, and therefore
such lands should contribute lib
orally. Good roads increase the
assessable value of lands, there
fore the county and state should
aid. Good roads facilitate the de-
livery of rural mail and in time of
war are the greatest value to the
nation, therefore the government
is directly interested. They also
facilitate and cheaper transporta-
