In the balance you can see easily
how Cobb would worry and how his
affection might be aggravated. not
only In his own mind but In the
minds Of the fans.
There undoubtedly was something
the matter with mis- right eye. His
vision probably was dimmed and
every time his stomach was upset, the
chances are the eyesight was affected
However, there never was any great
danger OF his going blind or even OF
being made useless as q ball player

good eye and one bad one than LOT
of far-seeing ball players who can
read fine print at 100 PAGES and BAT
200 by swinging hard.
The whole thing looks TO us like q
mighty big holler about little or moth
ing. Not that we lack sympathy with
Cobb, but the circumstances OF the
case never were grave enough foI
any worry that the great star woult
be lost to the Detroit club.

Washington didn't like him because

canard was given wide publicity.
Pres. Frank Navin asked Jim Nc
Aleer about Beck a. soon az they
were seated at Bennett Park yester.
day afternoon. "Beckendorf went
home because I wanted to use Ain
smith and Henry" McAleer said.
"Beckendorf caught mighty good ball
for us and l am very sorry that a
false report was circulated about him.
He saved two or three games for US
by his headwork and think he Is a

IF they had umpiring In the Ameri-

Pulford said. He has Just completed
a trip through the older league why
they call plays there that American
league arbitrators would see the other

No Danger in HalIey's Comet

There is no danger from the
comet, said DR. Robert w. Wilson,
professor of astronomy at Harvard
University in his lecture last night
before the Boston Scientific Society.
''The cyanogen discovered in it was
found only little way from the
comets head, and as for the tail,
which We are going through on the
18th, that is about as good vacuum,
or as bad one, as you could have
There is practically nothing there.

til after sunset Even then we do
not expect any remarkable occur
rences. Possibly there may be a lit
tie glow in the atmosphere because

"As some of these particles may
be electrically charged, our wireless
telegraph might be affected, and or
ders have been given to look out for
that. Perhaps there will be little
darkening of the atmosphere, though
it will not be due to meteors, for
these particles are too small to pro-
duce any meteoric phenomena"
Dr. Wilson, who was introduced
by John Richie, Jr., president of the
society, explained the orbit of the
comet and it's apparent motions with
the aid of stereopticon pictures.

two hours before sun, but it is be-

That members of Congress really

passing the Capitol just before the

Representatives raced over to watch
the animals and gaily caparisoned
riders and listen to the bands and
strident notes of the calliope.
The venerable Senator Frye stop
ped his automobile close to the line
of march, and a score Of his collea-
CUES were within hail of him.
"It's a mighty good thing" said
Senator Burrows, that the parade
passed before noon. If it hadn't,

MUCKRAKERS.

The Muckraker does the most dis
agreeable although beneficial and
necessary work for the preservation
of all that is best in society. He
undertakes without pay; he per-
forms this disagreeable work from

slant abuse of degenerates for his
worthy labors, and the class of socie-
ty, the best that is left to us, do not
sustain him.
Jesus Christ was the greatest
muckraker in His day. Did He not
"kick the money changers out of the
