ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
ARLES' BIG HOOKS ENABLE
HIM TO HIDE BALL.

Harry Ables, the giant south
paw pitcher Of the New York
Americans, enjoys one most
unique distinction. He has the
most impressive set Of hands
ever seen in professional base
ball.
The hams that Honus Wagner
calls hands dwindle into insig-
nificance alongside the hooks
Of the big new portsider from
Texas. Not only are Ables'
hands exceptionally large = as
large as patent washboards al
most-but his fingers are excep-
tionally long. The, digits are so
long that Ables can hide regu-
lation baseball in the palm of his
hand. A regulation baseball, by
the way, Is nine inches in cir
conference.
Ables has as much natural
''stuff" as any pitcher who has
ever been in fast company. Had
he the experience of some of the
old heads he would right now be
one of the greatest phenoms of
all time. He can simply do any
thing with the old horsehide.
Ables believes that his big
hands and long fingers give him
natural advantages possessed by
no other major league pitcher.
I His fingers are so long that the
ball drops in and among them
much as a marble would in the
hand of boy. Consequently
Ables does not have to cover up
his pitching hand with his glove,
as most twirlers do.

latter was cake;
So upon that striker multitude grim
melancholy sat, a.
For there seemed to be but little
chance of Casey's getting to the
bat.
But Flynn ,at drive a single, to the
wonderment of all,
And Blake the much despised, tore
the cover off the ball, -. 1
And when the dust had lifted, and
the men saw what occurred,
There was Johnnie safe at second,
and Flynn a-hugging third.
Then from five thousand threats or
more there rose lusy yell;
1t rumbled through the valley; it rat
tied in the DELI: .~
1t knocked upon the mountain and
recoiled upon the fiat,
For Casey, mighty Casey was advanc--
ing to the bat. s
There was ease in Casey's manner as
he stepped into his place:
There was pride in Casey's bearing,
and smile on Casey's ace.
And when, responding to the cheers
he lightly DOTTED his hat.
No stranger in the crowd could doubt
twas Casey at the bat.
Ten thousand eyes were on him as he
rubbed his hands with dirt,
Five thousand tongues applauded
when he wiped them on his shir,
Then when the writhing pitcher
ground the ball into his hip,
Defiance cleaned in Casey's eye
sheer curled Casey's lip.
And now the leather covered sphere
came hurting through the air,
And Casey stood a-watching it in
naughty grandeur there
Close by the sturdy batsman the ball
unheeded sped 80, .- ......s
THAT amt my STYLE" said Casey
"Strike one!" the umpire said.
From the benches, black with people
there went up muffled roar
Like the beating of the storm-waves
on stern and distant shore.
Kill him! Kill the umpire!' shouted
some one in the stand;
And it's likely they'd have killed him
had not Casey raised his hand.
With smile of Christian charity
great Casey's visage shone;
He stilled the rising tumult; he babe
the game go on;
He signalled to the pitcher and once
more the spheroid flew:
But Casey still ignored it, and the
umpire said: "Strike two!'
Fraud" cried the maddened thous-
ands and the echo answered
Fraud"
But one scornful look from Casey and
the audience was awed.
They saw his face grow stern and
cold they saw his muscles strain,
And they knew that Casey wouldn't
let that ball go by again.
The sneer is gone from Caseys face;
his teeth are, clinched in hate:
He pounds with cruel violence his bat
upon the plate.
And now the pitcher holds the ball
and now he let it go,
And now the air is shattered by the
force of Casey's blow.
Oh! somewhere in this favored land
the sun is shining bright;
The band is playing somewhere, and
somewhere hearts are light,
And somewhere men are laughing
and somewhere children shout;
But there is no Joy in Mudville
mighty Casey had struck out!

c...E. BARnnART CHARGED
WITH DESERVING FAMILY

Sheriff David Noote Of White Cloud,
Michigan, had a long ride on Monday
north of Dickinson. going to the Mike
Connolly place in northern Dunn county.
where he arrested Charles E. Barnhart
on charge Of desertine his wife and
two children in Newayeo county.
!. Sheriff J. "A. Wtech took the Michi-
gan sheriff out in his auto, leaving at
an early hour in the morning and return
ing about 7 o'clock in the evening.
Charles Barnhart went out to the
Connolly place only last week, where be
had engaged for the hayins season. He
came to this county year or 90 ago
and took homestead near Paimes's in
Dunn county. He built a shanty but
made very few improvements Last
spring he was in Minneapolis for q
while and on his return advertised ios
a position as cook on a ranch. He
worked with a number of outfits, for q
time with the Charles Bredt plowina
crew short distance north of Dickin-
son. ag.,
Sheriff Wiech says that Barnhart did
not seem to care much about the arrest.
Sheriff Moote stated that some one
wrote from Minneapolis last spring ask
ing if Mrs. ,Barnhart had secured a
divorce. Advice was sent back that il
would require a few dollars to send q
party to get the desired information and
it appears that c. E. Barnhart trapped
himself by sending registered lettel
from out here after returning in the
early summer. According to the
Newaygo sheriff, Mrs. Barnhart has
been in very destitute circumstances,
supported at the expense of the county.
It is not believed that the husband
has any means, but he looks like 6
strong, healthy man and ought to bt
able to support his family.
The sheriff left Dickinson with his
prisoner on Monday evening.
