Five hundred dollars reward is Of
fered by the American league for
evidence tending to show that any
player or club in the league is using
or countenancing the tipping of sig
nails of any opposing team.
Any player involved will be black
listed from organized baseball for all
time to come. This bit of informa-
ton, in addition to the fact that Jack
Sheridan may become manager of
umpires in the American league, or
be given some other exalted position,
was handed out by President Johnson
on his return to Chicago from the
East recently.
81 made Q thorough investigation
while in the East in regard to the al
legged tipping bureau of the New York
American Club, said President john
son, but l could not discover scin-
tilla of evidence to support the talk
that was started some time ago.
Neither could l find out that Pitcher
Ed Walsh of the Chicago American
League Club had ever said he believed
there was such system of signals
employed.
There is no one more concerned
about it than myself and l will pay
$500 to any man who produces proof
that any improper signals were used.
"The fact of the matter is that the
New York players have been batting
just as strongly when away from
home as on their own grounds, and
this in itself should disprove the
charges"

A COMING CHAMPION.
Oscar Hdlund Bids Fair to Lower q

From obscurity to the peer If any
mile runner in America in two short
years is the record of Oscar Hedulnd
of the Brookline Gymnasium Associa-
ton. 1t Is not far call from July 4,
1908, when he won his first race on
Boston Common in the half-mile run
from the 40-yard mark, to July / of
the current year, when he ran a mile

time Of APP as seconds. This latter
performance was made. t 90, on a

HedlIll's meteorlc rise since his
advent let .hs track game has been
the most J"b1crEced since the days
of Wefers. He has been a consistent
winner ut all distances up to 10
miles from the first day he stepped on
running track, and quickly went
from limit man in the handicaps
down to the scratch mark, whence his
successes have continued uninter-
rubtedly. Eight consecutive wins
marked his e%tlance into the game
before and even after he found hirl-
self on the scratch line
Has Same Success.
At the longer distances, tie same
measure Of success has rewarded
him. In November, 1908, he won file
10-mile run Of the Brookline Gym As
ISOLATION from fast field of competit-
ors, and the following March captured
the time prize in the cross-countrv
run of the North Dorchester A. A On
Christmas morning Of last year lie
won the six-mile cross-country run
under the auspices of the South Boa-
ton A. c., and time prizes in other
races. Henceforth he intends to re
frain from travelling the longer dis
tances as he has finally discovered the
distance at which he is best suited
and will devote his efforts in the fu-
ture only to the mile and half-mila
runs
Over 60 trophies now adorn his
home as the product Of but two short
years at the running game. and tie
large majority of these have been won
from scratch. Many represent VICTOR

Mans Best Friend

Gentlemen of the jury: The best
friend man has in this world may
turn against him and become his
enemy. His son and daughter that
he reared with loving care may be-
come ungrateful. Those who are
nearest and dearest to us, those
whom we trust with our good happi-
ness and our good name, may be-
come traitors to their faith. The
money that man has ne may lose:
1t flies away from him when he may
need it most. Mans reputation may
be sacrificed in a moment of ill coz
sidered. action. The people who
are prone to fall on their knees and
do us honor when success is with us
NAV be the first to throw the stone
of malice when failure settles its
cloud upon our heads. The one:ab-
solutely unselfish friend man may
have in this selfish world, the one
that never deserts him. the one
that never proves ungrateful or
treacheous is the dog.
Gentlemen of the jury; A mans
dog stands by him in prosperity
and poverty, in health and in sick
ness. He will sleep on the cold
ground. when the WINERY winds
blow and the snow drives fiercely
if only he may be by his master
side. He will kiss the hand that
has no food to offer. be will lick the
wounds and sores that come in en-
counter with the roughness of the
world. He guards the sleep of his
pauper master as if he were a
prince.
when all other friends desert,
he remains. When riches take
wings and reputation falls to pieces
he is as constant in his love as the
sun takes it's Journey through the
heavens. If fortune drives the
master forth an outcasG into the
world, friendless and homeless, the
faithful dog asks no higher privilege
than that'of accompanying him, 10
guard him against danger. to fight
against his enemies, and when the
the last scene OF all comes aud death
takes his m aster in it's embrace and
his body is laid away in the cold
ground, no matter if all other friends
pursue their way. there by his
gravesi de will the noble dog be
found, his head between his paws
and his eyes sad but open in alert
watchfulness, faithful and true even
unto death" BY Senator Vest

A mortgage is a strange in

A mortgage is a strange in
stltution. It makes a man
rustic, and it keeps him poor.
Ii is a strong incentive to
action, and wholesome re-
hinder of the fieeting months
and years. A mortgage repre-
sents industry, because it is
never idle and never rests.
1T is like a bosom friend, be-
cause the greater the adver-
sity the closer it sticks to a
fellow. 1t is like q soldier; it
never hesitates in charging
nor fears to close. on
an enemy. 1t is like a
sand bag of a thug; silent in
application, but deadly in it's
effect. Like the very hand of
providence is spread over all
creation, and it's influence is
everywhere visible. 1t is like
the graspof the devilfish, the
longer it holds the greater
the strength. 1t will exer-
else feeling. energy and lend
activity to the sluggish brain.
No matter how nard the deb
tor works, the mortgage
works harder still. It makes
a fellow sour, cross, selfish,
unsocial and miserable, and
rarely does him any good to
exercise him.

After a recess and an election
eveutful in American politics, the
national legislature is again in
session in Washington. 1t will
be full year, however, before the
result of the recent election can be
fully felt in the legislation, and by
that time there may be such changes
in commercial, indus trial and po-
litical conditions that the intention
of the voters as expressed few
weeks ago will be modified or in
some instances nullified. 1t is an
unfortunate condition that twelve
months must elapse and session
of Congress intervene before the
will of the country as expressed at
the polls can be carried into effect,
and when it is remembered that
this condition is fixed 10 the Consti-
tuition. that fetish of the American
lawyer and statesman, it is difficult
to see how reform can be effected.
1t is expected that the present
session will address itself to routine
business, the passage of appropria-
ton bills and necessary non-political
measures. The Presidents procla-
nation has recommended as a
matter of course important new
legislation, but there is little pros
pect of it's being carried out. Moth
ing much will be done until after
the Christmas holidays, and then
barely two months of the Con-
gressional session will remain before
this Congress, on the 4th of March,
will be ex-officio, and, as has been
said, the new Congress just elected
to do and undo so much will not
have it's chance for twelve months.
Among the measures that will
surely get hearing in the discus
sions under the appropriation bills
will be the subject OF the fortifica-
ton of the Panama Canal and there
will be confusion of party lines in
the debate on this question Some
Republicans and some Democrats
will oppose the military program
proposed by the President,
while other Republicans and Demo-
Gratis will approve it. Mr.. Tawney,
Chairman of the Appropriations
Committee, who failed OF reelection,
will urge that the Canal shall be
made free waterway, unguarded
by fortresses or cannon, while those
of the Roosevelt and Taft school of
politics will insist that property
costing nearly half a billion dollars
and essential to the defense of our
extensive. western coast line shall
not be left without adequate mill
tary protection, always, of course,

Roosevelt would express it.
