THING TO BE THANKFUL FOR

The grand jury that has been in
yestigating the Cairo lynchings has
been unable to discover the identity"
of any of the members of the mob.
Further than this 1t has been I'M
able TO find any fault in the sheriff,
since, as it says, the enraged mob
vas determined on carrying out its
purpose" and what could poor sher-
Lift do?
Presumably the grand jury was
likewise unable to discover anybody
responsible for the long maladminis-
ltration of justice in Alexander county,
which was so much talked about nj
the time Of the lynchings as their real
cause. At least. the dispatches men
ton no finding on this line.
Under such circumstances the PEG
Gle OF Illinois have reason to be
thankful that state law existed re-.
quiring the governor to suspend the
sheriff and turning the sheriff's sus,
pension into expulsion from office
when it appeared that he could make
no good defense of his conduct.
Mobs may be as determined
hereafter as ever, but 1t is safe t.
,ay the hint to the sheriffs. has bee
sufficient and that lynehing partie'
will be less apt to be successful

CONNIE MACK ALWAYS HAS
A WONDER IN HIS DISCARDS
Held Jimmy Dygert in Reserve Until He
Knew He Was Ready to Win
Schaefer's Advice.

Detroit victory Manager Mack said:
''Jimmy's learned how to pitch now He
ought to be one of the most effective
pitchers in the business now, and hard
to beat" Next year Dygert may go on
the regular list. Some even think he
will get into the worlds series, because
the Cubs have a mortal antipathy for
spit-ball artists.
During the early part of this season
Dygert's well known seventh inning hoo
doc seemed to be sticking closer than
ever to him. The change came q month
ago, while the little pitcher was working
against Washington, and the German
comedian, Schaefer, was the man respon-
sible for Dygert's rejuvenation. Dygert
had reached stage where he did all
manner Of queer things when he pitched
He even worked himself into a knot
throwing the ball. He was wont to hurl
his arms. legs, head and everything else
to the batter along with the ball.
The result was that Dygert would wear
himself out by the seventh inning and
then be batted all over the field
the Washington team in Philadelphia,
Schaefer said to Dygert Jim. don't
throw yourself to the batter, give him
the ball. Stand still and throw your
fast one and mix the splitter
Dygert took the advice to heart and
practiced this conscientiously. Recently,
when he went against the Senators, he
gave but four hits, not one before the
seventh. Detroit only made four hits off
his pitching last Sunday. Jimmy now
has hopes that he will repeat Coombs'
record. He Is little, but troublesome for
some clubs.
