Norwegian horses" said a third
woman, are at once spirited and gen
tie. Do you know why? Because it is
the women, the farm women, who
break them. They make pets of them
first; the colts feed from their hands
and follow them about like dogs. After
that their breaking is easy. 1t is only
done by kindness. And the result is
that Norwegian horses have the best

"Of course" said another. In teach

incomparably better than a man. A
man has thick cultural voice. His
words are all mumbled and jumbed.
But woman's clear delivery-her
open voice-gives every syllable its

has been considered as good as any

to claims made by Madden's friends To-

he stuck out like trojan for something
considerably higher. According to in

Toledo was advised by the powers in

BRESNAHAN-KLEM AFFAIR
Special Dispatch to The Star.


CINCINNATI. Ohio. June 4-President
Thomas Lynch of the National League is
speeding to Cincinnati from New York on
a fast train tonight with the intention of
making a personal examination into the
matter of the Bresna han KLEIN semi-bat-
tie at League Park Friday This case is
probably the most important brought to
the attention of Lynch since he became
head of the National League. Protests
lodged against umpres who do not know
the rules and clashes between ball players
are easily disposed of, but case in which
an umpire strikes player is one that will
require careful consideration and the
wisdom of a Solomon will be required to
settle so that both sides will be satisfied.
The men involved in the case are Roger
Bresnahan, a player who has gained
something of a reputation as a scrapper
this season-not so much of the hands.
though. as of the mouth-and Umpire
Klein. one of the most able handlers of
the indicator In any league. Whether
or not KLEIN was justified in striking
Bresnahan will proba bly, be shown by the
testimony. In the eyes of Lynch Klein S
word will doubtless receive the same con-
sideration as that of the Cardinal leader.
Members of the Cincinnati team-Larry
Mclean i'm particular-will probably be
called upon to testify. Larry was stand
ing within few feet OF Klein when the
blow was struck.
Bresnahan's kick should really never
have been made 1t came at the close of
ball game in which KLEIN had given
probabl the best exhibition of umpiring
this season If Klein had left the field
and given no heed to Bresnahan's words
nothing could have happened. But Klein
lost his head for just moment
