Comedies Pennant to Paris Club.

The Lexington Leader believes that
Paris has thu pennant winning club of
1910. The Leader gives it's reason for
such belief in the following:
For some time past the fans all
over the Blue Grass League circuit
has been trying to get some definite
idea of the real standing oft he league
teams. President Ussery, after going
over his records thoroughly, announc-
ed the standing Wednesday morning,
giving the Leader a special bulletin
on the same.
The official standing shows Paris
to be exactly eleven and a half games
ahead of the Colts, who are their
nearest rivals and it is almost a cinch
bet that McKernan's men will win the
coveted flag. They are without a
doubt the class of this organization.
They have the hitters and the pitch
ers. while en- the field they play hard
and aggressive game. McKernan
knows the game and what's more
knows how to teach his men to play it.
They have the only team in the lea
que that is playing Inside ball.
the race for second position is a very
exciting one, with Lexington. Frank
fort and Richmond in the hunt

Average of Eighteen Cents
Asked.

The beginning of the most gigantic
tobacco transaction in the history of
Kentucky marked the calendar Tues
day at Lexington, when the Burley
Tobacco Society laid out samples rep
resenting one hundred and twenty
million pounds on the floor of the
Central warehouse, and offered to
take eighteen cents all around, or
approximately twenty-one million
six hundred thousand dollars for it.
Buyers representing every manu-
factory in the country using Burley
tobacco inspected the types. No
time limit was specified by the Exec
utive Committee, which announced
that a reasonable time would be
allowed for the buyers to enter bids
as to quantity, but it was the popular
belief Tuesday night that by Wednes-
day afternoon the representative of
the manufacturers would have had
ample time to communicate with
headquarters, and in a position to
submit proposals. By the terms of
the sale the committee reserves the
right to reject any and all bids, so a
sale can not be closed until official
action by this body is taken.

Here's the Latest.

Manager Porter of the Paris Grand.
is constantly on the alert for the very
latest novelties in vaudeville. For to-
night he is glvl reproduction of
the latest New York sensa ton, The
Aerial Boxing Match" He guaran-
tees this to be one of the funniest
acts he has presented this season.
The at consists of two boys boxing
with heavy gloves while suspended ten
feet in the air, and / the opportunities
for laughable situations are numerous.
This act is an added attraction,
there being also the two regular acts
and the two reels of moving pictures.
There is no doubt but what Manager
Porter has aughr the popular fancy
with his management of the Grand.
The patronage he is receiving is some
thing remarkable and is uDprecedent-
ed in the history of the house.

First Baseman Barnett made the two
home runs on last Sunday at White
Park. The happy owner will take it
home, decorate it with pink ribbon

part of Mr.. Barnett, Mr.. Porter has
secured the bat with which he made
the two home runs and will give it
away on Saturday night to some lucky

Possibly from the thought that Gar
ny Hermann would grace thePark with
his presence yesterday afternoon,
nerved the Bourbonites end by oppor-
tune hitting. assisted to some extent
by the many foolish pranks of the
frisky Colts, and they added another
scalp to their belts when the Licking
ton aggregation was defeated in a
lively contest by thejnarow margin of
gone run.
With the same air of confidence that
has been the factor in many victories
the BourbOnites went at the enemy
with snap and kept plugging away
until the last Colt popped high fly to
right field in the last session. Never
showing any signs of weakening they
pelted the mighty Vallandingham here
and there over the lot but in only two
sessions were they able to get all the
way around, but each time a run was
counted an the contest finished with
the league leaders one the best of the
argument.
In Inc first both sides had been re-
tired In order but in the second Meyers
led off with a bounder that was
too high for Williams and McKernan
could not get the ball to first in time.
SineX sent him up peg on a sacrifice
and Ellis pelted the ball for three
bases scoring Meyers.
In the session following the Bour-
bonites evened up. Tnau sent sting
er along the ground to left and took
second on Williams sacrifice. Kuhl-
man flied out to Viox and McKernan
after fOuling few sent the kball into
safe territory, 1hau scoring.
In the sixth McKernan stunp the
sphere for two bases after few at
tempts to hunt. Kaiser followed with
a chOppy drive to Meyers that bounded
off his knee. The ball rolled into foul
territory and while Meyers was wait
ing for the jumps to call Kaiser back.
McKernan was we'll on the road to
home. Kimbro came to his senses and
shot the ball to Haynes but the slide
of the Paris manager upset thecatcher
and in his recumbent position he made
an effort to nab Kaiser at second but
without result. Goodman, Scott and
barnett hit into outs.
In the seventh Chapman led off with
a single but was left at third when the
last out was made. In the session fol-
lowing Mckernan hit slow one to

fore he could get the ball. Then fol-

thirds of the fielding club gathered

WEDNESDAY,.

With four runs behind in the beign-
ming of the seventh inning the BOur-
bonites pulled out of the hole and won
from the Lawmakers in the game at
Frankfort Wednesday afternoon by
a score of z to 6.
In the first six sessions the Bourbon
ties had been unable to get a man
around all four stations but when thew
came up in the seventh the aspect sud-
denly changed and five TALES were
counted. Two more were counted in
the inning following and in their half
the Lawmakers Tailed twice.
The sensational work of Poole in
the last half of the ninth was respon-
sible for the victory achieved by the
Bourbonites. Scheneberg had given
passes to the number of two and the
first and third stations were occupied
with no outs. Poole was sent in to
stem the tide of the onslaught of the
Lawmakers and so sensational was his
pei Torrance that the side was retired
without man reaching home The
three batters were retired on strikes.

 Why so?" inquired the drum ma. for.

It's the rot ting away of the jawbone, as horrible an I'll as leprosy, that is contracted by the workers-poor duffers-in fac tories where strike-anywhere matches are made. Phossy jaw comes from white phosphorus. White phosphor. us is the base of strike anywhere matches, but in safeties there's not a grain of it. and so in safety match fac tories phossy jaw is unknown.

Totems.

Among the savage and barbarian tribes, especially the North American Indians, totem is the symbol of a family or clan, and is usually some animal or natural object. It serves as sort of surname for the family. It's importance lies in the idea that indi- viduals trace their lineage from it The turtle bear and wolf are favored and honored totems among many tribes. The obligations growing out of common totem are scrupulously regarded. Intermarriage among those having 1t is criminal All such, of whatever clan or tribe, friendly or hostile, have rights of hospitality, or succor in distress and of friendship as blood relations. The totem h never changed.
