GIANTS PICKED

Critics Give Them First Call if Pitch

Those estimable Giants are booked
for the National league flag. accord

of the critics. They have a team that
is Just right-it is neither too old or
too young, and it lacks nothing in
any of the departments of the game.
Originally weak on first since Tenney
was disabled, that gap has been re.
paired by the development of Merkle
into heavy hitter and very fair
class fielder. Shaky behind the bat
since Bresnahan went to another
team, the indefatigable McGraw has
fixed up the weakness by shaping In
jun Meyers into sturdy backstop

One of the greatest fights in baseball
history has been won by him, the To-
cal association, and the fans, and in
all the course of events leading up to
the realization of every end they
fought for, there has been nothing
but what may be looked back upon
with pride. The fight has been a bit
ter one, but withal there has been no
show of poor craftsmanship, and no
violation of baseball law.
Now for the season of 1911.
Prospects are the brightest in
Quincy's baseball long and excellent
record. Quincy is to be associated
with Peoria, Bloomington, Danviile,
Springfield, Rock Island, Davenport
and Dubuque-all natural rivals in
every element in the makeup of a
/ city. The league will be but one class
lower than that of the big fellows,
and the city will be advertised
throughout the country.
| A baseball magnate who attended
the meeting in Chicago, and, who, by
the way, was not friendly to Quincy

bona fide bet that Quincy would have
an attendance of $4,000 or more dur

taken in big territory, but there Is

The Appeal., 1911-01-14
KEEP NOT SILENCE.

At consistory to be held early in
March, the Pope will deliver an i'm
portant allocution of protest at the
loss of temporal power and territorial
integrity by the Holy See. He will
solemnly reafirm the imprescriptible
rights of the Holy See in Rome.
The allocution will notify Catholic
sovereigns and heads of state not to
visit Rome during the jubilee celebra-
ton of Italian unity in 1911. The Aus
trian, Spanish and Belgian govern
ments have formally assured the Vati-
can on this point.
1t is not thought that any state dip
lomatically represented at the Vatican
will disregard the protest, which is
merely intended to guard against the
possibility of the Holy Sees silence
being interpreted as tacit consent to
the present situation.
The Afro-American ought to protest
at all times and all occasions against
the wrongs to which he is subjected
in this country. "Silence is being in
terpreted as tacit consent" to the in
justice with which he is treated.
The Appeal., 1911-01-14
ONWARD CHRISTIAN SOLDIER.

The Baltimore Star of last Satur-
day has whole page of religious
news. The Epworth Leaguers are
organizing a mission study; the Bap-
tist Union is busy; the Women's Mis-
sionary Society has some new scheme
to convert the heathen. The Broth
erhood of St. Andrew will hear an ad-
dress on "The Forward Movement; ;"
the Presbyterians will have confer
ence to discuss "A Vital Question for
Every Church," the Catholics are at
work along many lines and the Meth
odists are getting ready for a Mon
ster Methodist Mass Prayer Meeting" "
While all of the alleged religious
work was going on, the city council
enacted the law practically establish
ing a Ghetto for Afro-Americans.
American Christianity as exempli-
fed in Baltimore and many other
communities is a farce pure and
simple.

dian. Her mother has been dead
since she was little girl and her
father has devoted himself to his
daughter, who is now a student In
Hargrove college, this. city. +.
Miss Lorena Jane Cruce is the full
name of the young girl. She is only
sixteen years old, but the absence of
anybody else to take charge of the
social and domestic affairs of the exc
cut1ve mansion makes it necessary for
the governors daughter to step to the
front and assume the duties ordinar-
lily devolving on an older person.
Cruce was married in 1893 to
Ch1ckie LIE Flore, full-blood Chicka-
saW-Choctaw Indian of the noted LIE
Flore family Of Carter county. She
was conceded to +, one of the most
beautiful girls in that section of the
territory. She and her sister were
known throughout the southern part
of the state as "Chickie and Chockie' -
The mother Of the girls was a Chick
asaW and the father a Choctaw. Mrs.
Cruce, who died eight years ago, in
herited the facial characteristics of
the Chickasaws and was named
"Chickie," while the name, "Chockie,"
was given to the other twin, who re-
sembled the fathers race, the Choc-
taws.
Cruce came to the Indian territory
from Kentucky in 1891 and settled at
Ardmore. He had studied law at
night, receiving final instruction at
Vanderbilt university. He went into
the office Of his brother, A. G. Cruce,
who had preceded him from Ken
lucky, and they formed a partnership
with w. B. Johnson, former United
States attorney of the Indian territory
district. The law firm was known as
Cruce, Johnson & C-uce until A. c.,

The Virginia state legislature has
gone and passed a law, becoming ef-
fective September II, that requires all
sheets adorning the beds of public
hostelries to be eight feet long and
clean. In consequence hotel managers
are in flutter, of providing fall
household supplies, and sheeting is
being ordered by the bolt to meet Old
Dominion needs. Now, wasn't that
just like man tc resort to law in Or
der that his ''tippy toes" may not be

bitten in summer? asks the Baltimore
Sun. A woman would have drawn her
little pink toes to any height of dis
comfort in order to adapt herself to
an abbreviated sheet, would have
worn fleece lined slippers, would have
anointed herself with mosquito re-
pelling ointments. That's a woman's
way; but lordly man, arising from
discomforted slumbers, HES him to
the nearest palace of justice, fl;ngs of

New Field for Women.

New York.-Many large real estate
firms in New York, Baltimore, Boston,
Philadelphia and Washington are en-
ploying women in skyscrapers to keep
an eye on things. They are better
than men in this respect, it is con-
tended. The pioneer in this new field
for women came from Chicago and got
position as general superintendent
in a New York Office building. She
regulates the sweepers, busters and
even the employees below the earth
line, including firemen, and SO forth.
One duty Of this busy woman is to
show vacant rooms. The agent Of the
building says she works wonders. A
pretty and attractive young woman,
who persuasively relates all the con-
veniences of her building-how clean

HOW Is IT.?

A single farming county in Alabama
with negro population of 80 per cent
of the total shows loss of 5000 in
habitants in ten years. The negro has
abandoned the cotton farm for the coal
mine, or the iron works, or city life.
He left the farm because the white
man next him grew more cotton the
acre planted than he could produce,
and that is a law inexorable and self
executing.
The Afro-American has left the farm
and gone into the mill, because on the
former the rule is to cheat him out of
the last cent, while in the latter he is
paid good wages at short intervals.
We notice that according to Southern
journals, the Afro-American gets all
the prizes for first bales and best cot
