SHOULD treat
jumps KINDLY
PRESIDENT LYNCH GIVES vALU-
ABLE ADVICE TO TEAM CAP
TAINs AND COACHES ON
COURTESY

President Lynch of the National
league, who Is an eminent authority
on umpires. said the other day that,
In his judgement, more could be done
with those officials by the practice Of
kindness than by brutality. That is,
the umpire should be treated like a
horse or trained dog. He should be
fed with Jumps of sugar instead of
being constantly in terror OF the whip.
Suppose" said Mr.. Lynch. himself
the king of umpires I'm his day, that
your captain Is coaching at third base
and there is IA close play there, the
umpire giving the decision against
your side.
The ordinary captain or coacher
Will Immediately let out yelp that
can be heard for two miles declare
that his team Is being robbed. that the
umpire is blind as a bat and crooked
besides. and that there is no chance az
all to win with such raw decisions be-
ing pulled off. He will very likely howl
himself out Of the game, and he will
certainly demoralize his club by his
strenuous kicking.
AT the same time he will stir up
the umpires so that they will be sore
and ratified for the rest OF the game,
and will not do as good work as they
otherwise might. Nothing has been
accomplished for his club. and in fact
he Is likely to get the worst of any
succeeding close decisions.
"Now. my idea of what smart cap
tain ought to do Is this When a close
one goes against his club. suppose he
should say, Never mind that, boys We
got IA little the worst OF that one, but
well pull it out just the same. Work
little harder now.
Not a word OF abuse directed at
the umpire, and yet just enough said
to show the official that he may have
been wrong. but that the team Is GO
ing to stand for II without complaint.
I'll tell you that that umpire will do
a lot OF thinking i'm the, next few min
utes. He will ask himself If it may not
be true that he gave a bad decision,
and he will brace up and be all the
more careful for the rest of the game.
He will certainly not give that side the
worst of IL again.
Empires are only human. They
are bound to be affected by what is
4 said to them on the field, just as any
body else would be. When a captain
or player roasts them violently II
makes them sore and does that player
no good. But II captain or player
treats them respectfully. at the same
time letting them know in a decent
way where he thinks n mistake has
been made, he Is likely to profit by II.
Il was an umpire myself long enough
to know what effect on an official
different lines of talk have. A smart
and clever coacher should see in time
that constant growing and kicking dc
I not get him anything, while being
pleasant and orderly on the field does
him no harm at least. The teams that
get best work out of umpires are those
which are not constantly nagging but
are playing the game right up to the
limit all the time, AMI leaving the Of
flcials alone as much as possible"

HURRY UP" YOST CLAIMS
RENO FIGHT WAS A FAKE

Ann Arbor, Aug. 1S.-When Coach
Yost was in Ann Arbor a few days
ago. he was asked what he thought
about the new football rules, and this
is what he said:
81 like the new rules all right, all
| want is someone to play them.'
The famous coach spent most of his
time while here in looking into the ell
igibility OF his pupils for next fall. He
admitted he was getting anxious for
the season to open again.
"Shall we have n championship team
next fall?"
Wen be on the job and fighting
when the season opens, but / don't
want to say well have a championship
team, for you never can tell who will
get back into the game-but Wen be
there fighting when the season opens.
Michigan ought to have a good team"
The big man wasn't enthusiastic
over the Jeffries-J johnson fight. What
do l think of the fight" and here the
great coach made a wry face as he
took n long drag on his stogie. 81
think it was a huge fake from begin
ming To end. OF course Jeffries was to
have won, but he and Johnson quar-
relied about the purse. so the black
man refused to be whipped. and play
ed a tattoo on Jeffries's chest for Is
rounds for the moving picture men.
Jeffries knew when he signed the ar
ticles that he never had chance"

The Criminal Calendar.

The cases of the state of Mis-.
souri, against Tom Dick Ewing
and Nat Butler, two Keytesville
gentlemen of color, the former
charged with disturbing b g
peace of Walter Prather, col ,
aud latter with drawing a knife
on Pratber, came up for trial
Saturday before Justice Warner
Ford on change of venue from
Justice H. A. Wheeler's court.
The testimony showed that
Prather had gone to the home of
Dora Butler, col, and raised a
rough house by sIapping one of
the Butler girls and trying to
smash the Butler family . graphic.
phone.
Ewing and Butler, with be-
coming gallantry. came to the
rescue and forced Prather to re-
tire hors de combat, as it were.
After hearing the evidence in
the case against Ewing, Justice
Ford rendered a verdict of "not
guilty." and the defendant was
discharged,
The crime of which Butler was
accused was changed to peace
disturbance, but at the conolu.
sion of Ewing's trial Prosecuting
Attorney j. E. Montgomery en-
tered a nolle prosequi as to
Butler, and he, too, was per-
mitted TO go hence without day.
Attorney Roy W.Ruoker repre-
sented Ewing, while Attorney
John D. Taylor looked after
the interests of Butler.
Good legal counsel usually re-
suits in acquitted clients, and
that's what Roy and John say
they are.

Another Fire,

Keytesville was the scene oi
another fire between 4 and
O'Clock Saturday morning when
the residence property belonging
to L. B. Thrash, owned and oc.
curied for many years by John
G. Miller and family, and later
by Mr., Miller's son. H. H., and
family, were destroyed by the
fiery tiend.
Mr.. Thrash had gotten up
about 4:30 and made the fires,
and then laid down again to wait
for the house to get warm.
Not long afterwaro his daugh.
ter, Helen, who was sleeping in
room just across the hall, was
awakened by glare of light
through her bedroom window
and ran in and told her parents
that the house was on fire. At
that time the kitchen roof was
about to fall in. The alarm was
given, and neighbors gathered al
the scene as quickly as possible
and succeeded in saving q goon
portion of the contents. out every
thing in the dining-room, Kitchen
and in one of the upstairs rooms
was consumed, entsiIing a loss
of about S400.
Mr. Thrash carried 81, 800 in.
surance on the house and $500 on
the household goods.
A portion of this place was one
of Keytesville's old landmarks,
the older portion of the house
having been built about 20 years
ago. "Uncle" Chap Crawley
soys that when he first knew it it
was owned by his brother-in-
law, VIM. H. Davis, and that
was in 1889 or 1910.
Mr.. Thrash and family have
moved to the property, one. half
mile east of town, for which he
recently traded his farm, the w.
C.Adams place, near Bell school.
to ex. Sheriff s. j. Shaughnessy,
now of St.Louis.

instantly killed, and j. G. How
ard. engineer, VIM. Stiles, rear
