Bill Burns. the former Washington
ewirler, who was recently purchased
from Cincinnati by the Philadelphia
Nationals. after Detroit failed to land
plm. 10 probably the sleepiest athlete
who ever held down berth in the big
leagues. Bill has all others backed of
the boards when it comes to taking
maps, and he is not in the least par
ucular about the time he picks out for
q snooze.
It was because Of this that Burns
was put under suspension by Clarke
9rimth and later sold to the Phillies.
During recent game at Boston the
Cincinnati twirler in the box was not
going good and Burns was sent for to
warm up. He pitched three or four
balls to . catcher and then went to
che clubhouse and fell asleep. AT
Brooklyn he was sent out to warm I'D
for 0aspar. and repeated the perform
ance, falling asleep on the clubhouse

GOPHERS DEFEAT CASS LAKE
Crowd From Bemidji See Colored
Boys Win Hard Fought Game.

Cass Lake, July S.-Bobby Mar
shall's Colored Gophers played here
last evening before big crowd, and
defeated the Cass Lake team by the
close score of 2 to l. "Pete" Schmidt
was on the firing line for Cass Lake
and although little wild in the
early stages of the game he had the
best of the argument from a twirl-
of the Gophers and allowing only two
safe hits, while Pangburn, pitching
for the GOphers struck out seven and
allowed seven clean hits. Taylor led
in batting by collecting two singles
and a double, while Weaver landed
for two safe ones and Neils and Reed
each landed once. Cass Lake had
several opportunities to score but fell
down at critical moments, there be-
ing three times that the locals should
have Tailed, having had men on third
base with only one out.
The Gophers are hard team for
an amateur organization to go up
against and the Cass Lake fans" are
highly satisfied with the result of
yesterdays game. even though they
did not win.

The Colored Gophers left to-

A large delegation of "fans" from
Bemidji came over in the afternoon
via the automobile route and attend
ed the game. The representatives
who came over are a ''live" bunch
and was appreciated by the local
management, and returned home sat
istied that they had seen a good ball

BERRIES IN POISON STOLEN
Prize Products on Display in Acid at
i Commercial Club Missing.

Someone stole two quarts of fancy
and tempting, but poisoned berries
on exhibition at the Commercial
club, and if the thief attempts to eat
them there will be hurry up call
for the doctor, and It is just possible
that even the undertaken will be
called in. The berries, prize speci-
mems of Beltrami's best bushes, were
preserved in strong solution of
salicylic acid in quart jars. There
was one quart of Strawberries and one
of raspberries. Secretary Reynolds
has no clue as to the identity of the
thief, but he expects one when the
guilty party begins to feast on the
stolen delicacies.

PRAISES WOMEN VOTERS
Admits, However, That They Made
Some Humorous Mistakes inCast-
ing School Ballots.
SEES SOME DANGERS AHEAD
By BYRON WILLIAMS.
was an election in our
village yesterday, and the Ia
dies voted for school trustee.

' AAA0ASH was al V4SCl4Ou III OOA
village yesterday, and the la.
dies voted for school trustee
l watched the proceedings
with interest, and, SO far as could OBJ
serve, the women voted quite as in
diligently as the men-that is, they
knew poll room etiquette, knew how to
mark their ballots and where to take
them to be deposited.
On one point they seemed to be lame.
When asked their names almost all
Of them gave their husbands initials
and had to be asked over again for
their own Christian names. One wo-
man that observed, too, did funny
thing. She was a little deaf, and
when the judge asked her name she
thought he wanted to know for whom
she voted, and she reached over and
whispered into his ear the name Of her
choice.
For one believe that women soon
would be quite as intelligent about
politics as men-that is, when they
give civic affairs bit of attention. I
smile when l hear a man say a woman
doesn't know anything about public
affairs, for l have been in position
to realize that the majority Of men are
in the same predicament. The aver
age man is too busy to keep posted
on his own village affairs. Many take
snap judgment from the politicians
and vote in a school of fish-all suck
ers, like themselves The women could
do no worse.
Not long ago I was set upon by q
man whose hair was gray at the tenn
pies. He objected seriously to the fact
that sidewalk and water had gone
down the street on which l live and
had not passed his place. 1t was high
time, he said, that the towns money
be spent somewhere else.
MY dear SIR" l replied. "is it pos
sibe that you have lived to be over
forty-five years of age without know
ing that sidewalks and water mains
are paid for by the AUDITING property
owners instead of by general taxa
tionY'
And it took me some time to con-
vince this man that l was right and
he was wrong. Could woman pos
sibly know less about public affairs?
Not long ago I had occasion to stop
the violation of the liquor law in my
village. Imagine my surprise when a
deacon of one of the prominent church
es Immediately accused me Of persecu-
ton!
Could woman possibly be more in
consistent?
Would a woman throw aside every
sensible reason to vote a certain ticket
and vote the rival ticket because the
first named stood for temperance and
the other for a saloon?
Never! The woman knows too much
about the saloon. She has waited too
long at home through the dreary hours

of the combat, Burns does not change
his tactics.
During his career with Washington
he pitched game in Chicago in which
the score stood 1 to 0 for the Nation

were on tension watching every
move, but while the Washington play
ers were on the bench in the ninth
Burns fell asleep and actually had to
be aroused to pitch the final inning.
Then he was so sleepy that the White
sox pounded him for two runs and
