BASEBALL SEASON
STARTS IN TODAY
Fans Throughout the Country
Rejoice on the Closeness of
the Chance to Argue

Today will witness the start of the
1911 season of professional baseball
games, and before the diamonds are
abandoned next fall, nearly 10000
regular league contests will have
been played. The Pacific Coast league
is the first to begin play and the
last to close.
In the seventeen days now inter-
vening before the opening Of the
American and National leagues and
the American association season, all
On April IL, two small southern
leagues-the Cotton States and South
Atlantic organizations-will swing
into action April and April 10, re-
spectively.
In quick succession after the in
auguration Of the big league races,
April 10, the Southern, Eastern and
Western leagues open, with the Cen
tral league among the last of the
bigger sectional leagues to get in
motion-April 26. The Ohio and Con-
necticut state leagues start April 20,
and 81, respectively, and the New
York and New England leagues April
"a.
The Michigan state league does not
begin play untif May 25, and is the
last of the recognized leagues to op-
en-. By that time, the country over
there will be at least thirty profess
sional leagues in the field, with
schedules calling for from 900 to 600
games each. ~
The collegiate season, less regular
ly accounted for, already has begun
in the southern tier Of the northeast
ern states. The schedules of eastern
colleges call for about 800 games be-
tween now and the latter ) part Of
June. Yale has eight of last years
nine left, including an experienced
and we'll balanced pitching staff, with
plenty Of new material. The Harvard
leftovers are only six, and among the
losses is Pitcher Hicks, whose work
Of last year will be hard to equal.
Princeton is admittedly in serious
difficulties. Five Of last years play
ers have graduated, and the leading
pitcher, 5.~N. White, is suffering with
so severe wrench Of his throwing
arm and shoulder that he will not
play In any of the early games.
An unusual number Of tours is
planned by college teams this year
All records In this line will be brok-
en- by Michigan by an invasion OF
both the south and east. The Wolv.
crimes will travel more than 2,0OC
miles, touring Kentucky, Tennessee
and Ohio, and visiting Princeton. Sy'
racuse and Brown. So far this Is the
only series of games in which the
east will meet any western or middle
states college.
An international turn will be giver
collegiate baseball in May when 9
team of picked players from the Wa
seda and the Keio universities from
Japan will arrive in this country and
tour both the west and east, in re-
turn for the compliment paid to the
players Of the orient last year when

M0RARGY WHO WAS. APPOINTED
CAPTAIN Of The DETROIT TIGERS

The appointment of George Mort
.srty as captain Of the Tigers may
be expected to help Manager Jen-
nings in solving the problem of re-
storing harmony among the players.
Moriarty is very popular among the
players Of the club. Jennings has al
ready held several heart to heart
talks with his men in New Orleans
and emphasized the Importance of
laying aside petty grievances. Last
season Ty Cobb was on bad terms
with his team mates and this is held
by some to have Affected the work of
the team.

case with George Moriarty. When he

player, but since becoming a member
of Hugh Jennings Detroit Tigers, he
has improved greatly and is now
classed as one of the best players in
the American league. His batting

base running. is Of the best. ;, Moriaty

YOU can write a want ad that will

A new phenom has. been unearthed
out on the coast. He is called Dutch"
Coombs. He can fling the ball with
a great deal Of ginger. A deaf and
dumb catcher and one-armed second
baseman are playing with semi-pro-
fessional teams out near the golden
gate, but Coombs, not of the Athletics,
but the legless pitcher, is the only
player of the kind known.

DAMAGED
By Fire Was The Alva
Wharton Residence
Bed Clothing Catch Fire
And Damage Follows

The home OF Mr.. and Mrs. Alva
Wharton Of North Liberty was badly
damaged by fire on Saturday morn
ing, the fire having started in an up
stairs room. At about o'clock the
fire was discovered in a bed room,
the bed being mass OF flames and
the carpet badly burned. An alarm
was Immediately raised and a number
Of neighbors hastened to the scene
of the fire with buckets. A bucket
brigade was quickly formed and after
one half hours hard work the blaze
was extinguished. The loss was par.
TALLY covered by insurance.
The room in which the fire started
had been visited only a short time
before and the bed been pushed near
the stove while being arranged. The
supposition is that the clothing was
left touching the hot stove and as a
result the fire started.

70 SUBSCRIBERS OF "WoM.
ANS NATIONAL DAlLY:"

For some time back the "Woman's
National Daily" having reading eli
entele of approximately one million
throughout America, has been critic
partment.
Recently, in order to change the
printing plants, it became necessary to
publish "The Daily" temporarily as
weekly, and although it has been for
over three years regularly entered as
second-class mail, the postolfice de-
partment arbitrarily demands that we
deposit postage at the rate of / cent
per copy or approximately $5,00000
per issue.
(The lawful postage rate would be
about $3.50 instead of $5,000.)
This unusual and extraordinary de-
mand, and there is no other known
case of it as applied to an established
newspaper, is of course confiscation
of the property and suppression of
the paper.
The articles which have been ap-
pearing in the National Daily recent
/ ly, criticising the department, may or
may not be the cause of this act of
oppression.
AS this unlawful demand for pro-
hibitory postage rate may be indefin-
itely enforced. il would exhaust re-
sources and in that way suppress the
daily.
Let all subscribers appeal direct to
President Taft and their congressman
for relief from these oppressive condi-
tions.
Write at orce direct to Washington
in season for April A session of con-
ggess.

BLOODHOUNDS
On Trail Are A Shock To Mr..
Paul Hester
washington Starr

Paul Kester, the playwright. who
owns country home near Occoquan,
Va, today filed an aflidavit in the Dis
trict Supreme Court setting forth that
escapes from the temporary workhouse
at Occoquan are still frequent, and
that tho Shocking spectacle of blood
hounds tracking convict" is now
sometimes seen. The affidavit is in
support of the proceedings of injunc-
tion brought by Howe Totten against
the District to prevent the conduct of
the workhouse or the allowing OF con-
victs unguarded on the public road
near the workhouse.
Mr.. Kester says the tracking by
bloodhounds IS degrading and has a
demoralizing influence on the COM
munity. He expresses the wish that
the government will no longer coun-
tenance such method of recapture
except in the most extreme cases,
where the convict pursued is an i'm.
mediate menance to the lives of per-
sons he may encounter. Nothing
short of peril of life, he urges, can war
rant the pursuit Of human beings by
dogs within so short distance of the
nations capital.

Despite the fact that w. j. Lock

of Senators Dick and Burton and the
endorsement of the Republican coun-
ty committee, w. w. Johns still holds
onto the postoffice job at Bellville.
Word from Bellville is to the effect
that politicians have been after Johns
scalp but up to the present time he
has been able to keep it.
1t is claimed that there has been
much friction over the Bellville post
office matter which has given the Re-
publican politicians in that neck of
the county much annoyance and con-
siderable trouble.
1t is understood that the postmaster
general thinks pretty well of Johns
and that he has refused to assist In
the scalp lifting. The politicians
wonder why President Taft did not
appoint Lockhart. Some think per-
haps, he is trying to forget the trou-
BILE he had over the postofflce fight in
Mansfield.
It is claimed that complaints have
gone to the postofiice department

CORONER
Files His Verdict In The

Says Death Was Caused By

Administered By Some
Person Or Persons
But Whose Identity Is Not
Yet Revealed
The Bonds Of Three Wit.
nesSeS Not Reduced
And Not Likely That This
Can Be Done

coron,r j. A. Reed came to Mt. ver-
non from his home In JeIloway Sat.
urday and filed report of his inquest
regarding the death of Charles e. Met
calf. The verdict of the coroner does
not hold any person by name for the
death of Metcalf. IL simply states
that Metcalf came to his death by
reason of certain poison or drug ad-
ministered by person or persons
whose idnetity is not disclosed, fer the
reason that the matter is in the hands
of Prosecuting Attorney cromIey for
investigation.
The finding of the coroner was filed
with Clerk of Courts Bermont.
There has been some considerable
discussion regarding the size of the
bonds of the three witnesses, Mackay,
Lee and Wolfe which Coroner Reed
required them to furnish for their ap-
pearance before next grand jury and
in default of which they were COM
mitted 10 Jail, the bond for each wit
ness beng fixed at $4,000 There has
also been some discussion as to the
probability of the size of the bond
being reduced. The size of the bond
is matter entirely within the hands
of the coroner and he can fix any
amount he chooses aud it is matter
in which a court cannot interfere, so
that no steps can be taken in behalf
of the three witnesses to have the
amount Of their bonds reduced.
Detectives Still Here
Detective Bradbury and Detective
Rowley of Cleveland are still in Mt.
Vernon, looking up evidence in the
Metcalf case. 1t is understood that
the officers have secured much evi-
dence Turing their stay in the city.
but of course refuse to divulge any
of the Game.
The evidence winch the detectives
have secured will be taken direct to
the grand jury of the May term of
common pleas court.
More Evidence Discovered
Detectives Bradbury and Rowley,
Chief of Police Dermody and Lieuten-
ant of Police McElroy made thor
ough search of the Jesse Rinehart liv-
cry barn on Saturday morning. The
officers suspicioned from the very first
that if Metcalf was "doped" that it
was at this barn where it occurred.
The four officers made thorough
search of the livery barn and found
some evidence which was turned over
to Prosecuting Attorney Cromley and
which will be used in the case before
the grand jury.
