KAHOE, AS UMPIRE,
IS TAKING A TURN
It's Pretty Good Work-Considering- Chief
SWANS Reprehension for Some wide" Adjudica-
tions Does Not Seem to Feaze Him.
By SENATOR" 4"

ATLANTA, March 2l-Mike Kahoe,
the Nationals prize scout. is acting as
umpire at Atlanta and has been doing
pretty good work. considering. However,
some of his decisions have riIed Chief
Swain, the Vancouver mastodon, who
once ran in from his position in center
field to kick Mike waved him back
and then when the husky Californian
was hitting the jumps called a strike
on him that was a foot above his head.
Il did that just because he kicked"
explained kahOe. Come to think of 1t,
when | was playing ball l was always
fighting the Jumps not so as everybody
could hear what l was saying, but the
jumps knew it just the same.
In all my time as a player. though.
fighting the decisions every day, / never
was put out of a game or fined. The
nearest l came to being put out of the
game was once in New York. Old
Charlie Snyder was handling the game,
and what l said to him certainly did rile
him. But he was the only one who
heard 1t, and he didn't dare to put me

Sweet ON Backstops.

mo other club in the world has
three such good catchers as we have"
is the honest opinion of Jimmy Nc
Aleer. "Gabby Street himself is a
whole staff. able to catch day in and
day out, always there when you need
him and encouraging everybody to
play their very best.
Eddie Ainsmith is going to be the
best catcher in the game in couple
of more seasons. Right now he's
better than a whole raft of them
playing in the major leagues. He's
learning to bat, and as soon as he
gets that down pat none of them will
have a thing on him.
In John Henry l have the best
looking youngster in baseball today.
He has the weight and is game to the
core, while that arm of his is made
of real steel. He is a corking good
catcher. and is doing better on first
base than many regular first-base-
men.
NO other club in the business has
three such good backstops. I'm GER
tainly sweet on those three lads, take
it from me-"

little Tennessean. I'm superstitious
about bats. II my bat has even a nick
in it, can't hit. My bat must be alb
solutely smooth and good. or lose con-
fidence in my ability to shove out a
safety.
so this season I'm going to keep a
sharp eye on the sticks and see that
go to the plate every time with a per-
fectly good bat. I shall then think a
safe hit is due me. and more often than
not I'll get IT..

Isn't a Cuss Word

"Tinker's dam" is not profane,
according to a man who has dis
covered the origination of the
phrase. He explains: In the
old days when tinkers Travelled
through England mending tin
ware for the house wives they
would soften small piecesof bread
in their mouths and place them
in the corners of the vessels to
dam up the melted solder. These
bits of wet bread were called
Thinkers Dams" The man who
says a thing isn't worth a
tinker's dam may think he is
saying something very naughty,
but he is not.

pied the center of the table.
A delicious three-eourse ban
quet prepared by Mesdames A.

served by Winnie Fouch and
Irene Witte.
Harley Fisk filed the position
of toastmaster in a most happy
manner. Walter Kerrick, repre-

to the seniors in which he relat-
ed the experiences connected with
the first time he saw two of the
seniors. Sigurt Andersen, a SEN

the Juniors in a way which sur
prised every one. The other
speakers were: Misses Frances

SEEKING SITE OF
OLD FORT BOISE
Party Here Tuesday Searching for Exact Location
of Historic Spot-Will Mark the Place
with Suitable Monument.

Bishop J. B. Funsten and Gen.
eral S. D. Utter, of Boise, and
Miles Cannon, of Weiser, were
here Tuesday in an effort to To-
cate the exact spot on which old
Fort Boise stood. Bishop Fun
stem has taken up the work of
placing a suitable monument
to mark the place. In this effort
he should have the united sup
port of the people of Parma, and
especially OF the old settlers.
New blood has developed this
section, but we should never for
get what we owe to the pioneers
who made it possible, and the
efforts of those who are endeav-
oring to write the history of this
section, and mark historic spots,
should be appreciated by our
people.
In this connection, the town OF
Parma should acquire the site OF
the stockade built and used by
the settlers during the Bannock
war. 1t adjoins the road to the
site of Kiesel Park and should
be marked with a suitable mon
ument. The Herald would sug-
gest that the site be acquired by
the town and a monument be
built ofcement and cobble-stones

and themselves from the maraud-

While looking over the site of
the old fort at the mouth OF the
Boise, Bishop Funsten and party
met with an experience that
might have resulted seriously.
On coming to the bridge across
the slough this side of the spot
they found that the high water
had carried away the approach.
They left their team on this side
and made their way across by
means OF a plank to the floor OF
the bridge. While they were on
