Baseball
BASEBALL STARTS
in ENGLAND

London, Aug. 1.-Once more push
full Americans in England are making
an attempt to plant baseball on the
British playing fields, as counter
attraction to cricket and football. -Four
years ago a number of young enthusi-
asts from Harvard, Yale, Princeton
and elsewhere found themselves in and
around London, so for a while they ran
games at the Crystal palace, CIapton
and other famous grounds, gaining
considerable publicity thereby. But
the squirt did not last. The men left
London, or felt other claims too press
ing on their time.
There followed a period during which
the fortunes of baseball fluctuated.
till two years ago Tommy Burns de-
termined to try his hand at populariz-
ing it, encouraged by the new life he
had been able to put into British box
ing.
Tommy Burns Takes Hand.
He found the few clubs. then form
ing the basis of the baseball associa-
tion, but an indifferent medium for an
active campaign, but very soon his
own enthusiasm and personal magnet
ism began to convince men that ii was
better to take hand in a baseball
game than to loaf around the ringside
watching professionals play either of
the British pastimes. When he had
found his men he had difficulties for
the Britisher does not take very handi-
ly to new games, SO every time a con-
test was arranged any team with an
American or two in it literally wiped
the floor with it's opponents. Then
Tommy Burns had to answer the fistic
challenges that came across the ocean,
and the spur of his activity was re-
moved from the budding baseballers,
But he left a bunch Of players in far
better shape than when he took hand
at baseball organization.
Four Clubs in League.
So out of that came the present
British Baseball league, a governing
body to which, when this season began,
four clubs were affiliated. Within a
month, with a little pioneer work in
likely quarters, the number rose to six
and as young Americans are plentiful
over here this year, scattered up and
down the country, there will be at
least dozen clubs in operation before
the season is out.
Among the best workers in this mis-
sion Of sport are the American Rhodes
scholars, whose scholastic accomplish
ments at Oxford have been criticised.
but whose athletic prowess finds few
detractors. At both Cambridge and
Oxford several games have been play
ed, but, as in London, the only way to
keep the enterprise afloat has been to
sprinkle the Americans over both
teams, so as to make the games more
like contested struggles than mere
walkovers. John Bull, jr., lacks the
American nerve at game like base
ball till he has had a whole pile OF
practice, so unless there Is somebody

Y. N. c. A.

Versailles has just brought to sue
cessful finish whirlwind campaign to
raise $4,000 for the purpose of erec-
ting Y. M. c. A, building. They
raised the desired amount, and more.
Lancaster is as large town as Ver-
sailles, and yet it cannot boast even a
Y. M. c. A. organization, much less a
building or the wherewithal to erect
one. Why is this? Is this not as en-
lightened community as the average
place of its size, we have churches and
as jealous church workers as any other
town of which we know. There is abb
solutely no place where the young men
of the town and county can 60 to while
away profitably few idle hours, no
library, reading room, or any place
where they may have access to the
current literature of the day, such as
can always be found in Y. M. C. A.
reading rooms. 1t would take but a
very small donation from the citizens
of the town and comfy to raise an
amount with which to erect building
which would be a source of pleasure
and pride to the town and county.
Why not try it. Who will take the
initiative?

New Court House in Har1odsbug.

Judge Walker has condemned the
Harrodsburg court house as unsanitary
and unfit for use, and the fiscal court
has rented him another room in which
to hold his court, as he refused to hold
another term in the old court house.
While the Judge is operating along
this line it would be well for him to
make few recommendations in regard
to our court house. On the whole it is
a good structure, but the vaults are
old styled and wholly inadequate for
the keeping of the records, and are so
badly lighted that it is almost impos-
sible to see to examine the records
they contain. The expenditure of a
comparatively small amount of money
would remedy this evil and place our
court housa, to say the least of it, in a
much better than its preseut condition.

Worth Considering.

There are no laws in effect in this
state giving to candidate for office the
right to primary election to ascertain
the direct wishes of a majority of the
voters. Our present primary laws only
cover the holding of the election when
the governing authority of the parties
see fit to call primary. A convention
may be named if the committee wishes.
Believing that every intelligent cleo
tor in Kentucky affiliated with any pol
itical party wishes a voice in selecting
the nominees for whom he is expected
to help elect to Office, and believing
that everv elector ought to have and
ought to exercise that privilege, we
favor the enactment of a law in this
state compelling all political parties to
select their nominees, including all Off
GERS from Justice of the peace to u. S.
Senators, by direct primary.
We have heard but few objections to
the direct primary. One is, that it is
too expensive upon the candidate. If
that be true the state or county can
well afford to pay the cost of the prim-
airy, and get a return of the cost of the
election with large percent profit by
having always competent, efficient and
honest officials. The primary is the
surest way of getting that kind or get
ting rid of the incompetent and dishon-
est ones. We have heard it urged that
it brings discord and disaffection in the
party. We can not accept this as true.
No fair and honest man can object to
the rule of the majority.
The candidate selected in a direct
primary by the votes of majority of
the members of political party, free
of fraud or bribery will always be ac-
cepted to the rank and file of the party.
If corruption should be eliminated from
primary election there would be little
bolting of the party nominees.

Answers johnson.

Editor Shelton Saufey, the newspap-
er man whom Congressman Ben john
son charged with having been "sent"
from Frankfort and a newspaper
placed at his command to lead the
fight upon him and stir up religious
prejudice against him in the Eighth
Congressional district, has the follow
ing editorial reply to Mr.. johnson.
1--WE do not think that a denial is
necessary to the statement of Hon. Ben
Johnson that we were sent from Frank
fort and newspaper placed at our
command to make fight on him in the
Eighth Congressional district and stir
up religious prejudice against him.
We suppose that practically everyone in
The sec,ion is familiar with the circum-
stances under which we returned to our
old home and purchased the paper upon
which we had learned to set type as a
boy. The fact that when we left
Frankfort we had been for more than
year employed by paper whose own
ers and editors were ardent champions
of Ben johnson for Governor seems of
itself to completely refue the state
ment that we were sent here by any
one to oppose his candidacy along the
lines he suggests.
AS for starting the religious preju-
dices again, we repeat now, as we did in
our first editorial in which we mention
ed the subject, that we do not believe
it fair or just that the religious belief
of any man should be even remotely
considered when his candidacy for pol
itical office is suggested. The Church
and the State should be kept inviolably
seperate. Had Mr.. johnson succeeded
in winning the Democratic nomination
for Governor, we would have loyalty
supported him, as we so informed his
secretary, Mr.. Rogers Gore, some time
before Mr.. Johnson's withdrawal.
I'VE again confess ourselves greatly
surprised and disappointed at his course,
for while we did not believe him the
logical man for the Democrats to nom
mate for Governor, we did believe tha
as game, true Democrat, if defeated
he would come up smiling and take hi.
medicine, the medicine which he had ad
ministered to othsrs who have opposed
him so often before, instead of endeavor
ing to handicap the man who will be the
nominee when he comes to make the
final race. Mr.. Johnson is dead cocl

had been his warm supporters say 81

Judge Batson is in no sense candi-

Batson scores of admirers out in the

Owen Shugars passed into the life

his home on North Meridian street
Indianapolis Indiana.
His death was sudden, his physicians
at tributing it to apoplexy, brought on
by acute indigestion. He was i'll only
an hour and a half, his suffering intense.
His life long friend Homer Batson of
Louisville, reached his bedside shortly
after he expired and faithfully served

the remains from indianapolis to Lam
caster; the funeral service being con-
Quoted at home of R. H. Batson in

AS a rising business man, Owen
Shugars among the young men of Ken
lucky birth, stood in front rank. Very
recently he had promoted and organic
ed the Home Fire Insurance Company
of Indiana. With him were associated
the most influential men of Indianap-
oils; the Ex. Auditor of the State as
President and the Elk. Mayor of Indi-
annapolis as secretary, an enterprise be-
ing attended with marked success. To
his associates in business and many
friends in Indianapolis his death came
as great shock. The grief and sor-
row tokened evidence the profound es-
TEEN in which he was held by a circle
of the best people of Indianapolis. To
his friends in Kentucky and Lancaster
the bereavement was equally realized
in the departure of a splendid man and
citizen. But supremely in the vast de-
votion of his home circle, as son and
brother his worth and character reach
ed the noblest expression truly one OF
princely record. Giving his heart in
early life to faith in Divine Saviour,
the graces of kindness, courtesy gener-
osity and faithfulness to trust marked
his journey later in high degree was a
practical witness that his faith was
not in vain.
Peace to his sleep; honor to his mem
