Good Eyes Essential to Be-
come Expert at Either the
Bat or With the Cue.
BY G

THAT practically every great hit
ter In baseball has been an ex-
pert pool or billiard player Is q
rather interesting fact that came 10
light last night while Jack Doyle was
Graw to play q three-cushion billiard
match before the teams went South for
spring practice.
Chase and McGraw arc both experts
with the cue. n It was while they
we're being discussed Pop Arson called
attention TO the fact that all o; the
great hitters were good with the worries.
Arson is a greater expert than either
McGraw or Chase at billiards, and 1t
is also true that he was probably the
heaviest hitter that baseball has ever
had.
Whether this aptitude for billiards Is
due TO the ball players good eye at the
bat OF whether his good eye at the bat
IL due to billiards, Is an open question.
The records seem to bear out the for
mer. All OF them became good billiard
or pool players after having made a
reputation in baseball. The same keen
ness of sight Is required in both.
'Inere is no douD1, explained All
son. but that good yes are required

billiards, and when I was manager OF

good eyesight to be a good hitter, and
n he has good sight II Is comparatively
easy for him to become expert with
the worries"
Hitters Are Brilliant Players.
The Idea struck the crowd as being 81
novel tina the records were Brought II
and they show that with the possible
exception OF Willie Keller and Han!
Wagner all OF the hitters have beer
billiard players. Johnny Killing OF tn
Cubs was at one time champion poo
player OF the world. Arson says tn
keen eyesight that helped him to will
that championship also helped him e
be a great catcher
Hal Chase has been a crack billiard
player as we'll as a crack batter sine
his boyhood. McGraw had a hittinI
average OF more than $40 for sevei
years, n ne Is now considered one o
the best amateur billiard players In tn

In speaking Of the alleged shortage

should be to see to it that state Officers
are properly bonded. This matter is
treated in haphazafd WY at presen,

by law to attend to it. In this way
officials who are required by law to
give bond sometimes serve without

TWO POSTOFFICES IN
BRISTOL A CERTAINTY

Representative Sam r. Sells, of the
First Tennessee district, was in Bristol
Monday and attended the ball game at
Paramount in the afternoon. He said
the matter of a new postoffice for Bris-
toll was one that had been difficult to
trace. He had treated the matter as
one of insignificance, he said, until
within the last week or so, when every
thing he could learn indicated that
such an office had been ordered. Mr..
Sells said he realized the situation here
fully, and expressed the opinion that
the proposed arrangement, if put into
effect, would prove one of the most I'M
pleasant and unsatisfactory that could
possibly be conceived. The fact that
there seems TO be no business reason
for the establishment of second post
Office is what seems to impress most
people who are heard discussing the
matter. Many take the view that from
the standpoint of public policy il was
the most unsatisfactory thing that Mr..
Slemp could possibly have put in mo-
ton, and that IL would have been far
better fer him 10 have demanded an
equal share OF the patronage of the one
office than TO have insisted on the es-
adjustment of a second office here

diate friends and relatives were present.
Following the ceremony and congrat-
ulations, the wedding party drove to
Hotel Hamilton, where a sumptuous
dinner was served.
The bride has been a prominent
teacher in the Johnson City high
school and is recognized as one of the
most competent educators in this Sec
ton. The groom is graduate of the
state school of mines at Rapid City, s.
D., and was professor of metallurgy in
that school for two years. He now has
charge of the chemical laboratories of
the West End Mining Company at

noon, and after spending some time in
Nashville, Colorado Springs and Salt
Lake City they will be at home at

DR.. Richmond's denunciation of the

He would have wen had he been fight

Sehofield was fighting men animated
by an uncohquerable sentiment.
And sentiment kept the life in the

Sentiment made It so that men with

Sentiment was the tonic that made
the Confederate soldier something
more than man, lower only than di-
vinity.
Sentiment enabled Cleburne to ride
into the fire-belching threats of the
guns of the enemy and to embrace
death as brother.
Sentiment, which is unselfish devo-
ton to principle, animated Gordon
when he went into the frontal and
cross-fire which ended, miraculously,
not in his death, but in his capture,
This is an age of material things. In
some parts of this country men look
only to dollars and cents, cost price
and to selling price, to acres and to
square feet. Some men measure repu-
tation only by material success, and
the standard of material success is dol
lars and cents. We are drifting in the
direction of a sordid view of things
ourselves. But the grandest success in
life are not material successes.
According to modern rules, Gordon
himself was not a conspicuous success,
but he had riches that all the wealth
of the men who own the steel mills,
and the railroads, and the banks could
not buy. He had the affections of his
fellow soldiers, he had the respect of
his fellow citizens, and he had the ven
Grafton of us younger ones so fortunate

He had served his country with an
unselfish, unfaltering. devotion, and he
died with honor unsecured, and with
his reputation stainless, and he accom-

cause he was animated always by a
lofty and noble sentiment.
The same sentiments that animated
his lofty soul were in the breast of ev-

MRS. NELLIE A. DULANEY
Asks Divorce from Husband, FoY
W. Delaney, Now in State
Prison at Nashville.

Another chapter was added to the
career of Foy w. Dulaney, of Wash
ington county, who is serving a five.
year sentence in the state penitentiary
for embezzlement, when his wife, Mel,
lie A. Dulaney, Tuesday filed suit in
chancery court against him, asking for
an absolute divorce. Attorneys Vines
d Price, of johnson City, are attorneys
for the plaintiff.
The filing of the suit against Dulaney
Tuesday by his wife is only one in a
chain of incidents that have made him
notorious in two countries and which
finally led to his imprisonment in the
state penitentiary. Holding a good of.
flee, trusted and respected by the peo-
pie of his county, and so popular with
the masses that it was with difficulty
that grand jury was found that would
indict him, Dulaney gave up all, took
a considerable amount of money that
did not belong to him and, according
to the charges in the bill, took a stem
ographer who was working in an office
and went TO kingston Jamaica.
The bill recites the marriage of Mr..
and Mrs. Dulaney at johnson City in
May, 1898, and their married life up
until the time of Dulaney's elopement
in 1905 Mrs. Dulaney claims in the
bill that she has since learned that
Dulaney was unfaithful to her for
years before he left, but brings it down
to the time when, with embezzled
funds in his possession and with the
young stenographer from his office, he
fled to Jamaica. She recites his arrest
on the charge. of embezzlement and his
being brought back to Tennessee, and
claims that on his representation of re-
newed good faith " it'll her she took
him back into her home.
She claims further that she not only
refused to listen to reproaches against
him, but was made the subject of I'M
kind and unjust criticism for renewing
her relations with Dulaney. She also
sets forth'that she gave up all her prop
erty to aid him in his trouble, and when
he was being tried in Washington
county, agreed to come to Chattanooga
and wait for him.
Even after all this, she claims, she
again found that Dulaney had again
been untrue, and since he has been
convicted on one charge, for which he
is serving five years, and has another
sentence of five years, which is before
the supreme court for final action, she
she desires an absolute divorce.
The stenographer, who is the alleged
correspondent in the case, is also said
to be in Chattanooga. Chattanooga
