no King Ahab Elijah said
" Thou hast sold myself to
work evil in the sight of the Lord"
The effects of the drouth gradually
disappeared, but its salutary lesson
remained with the King and with
the people to considerable extent.
The true God had some recognition.
Baal's influence was considerably
broken Queen Jezebel evidently re-
Tented concerning her threat against
Elijah. He returned and founded
various Schools of the Prophets in
Israel, himself being the master
spirit amongst them.
Our present lesson shows the
meanness of covetousness and the
awful power of a wicked woman.
Ahab had two fine palaces; one of
them, at Jezreel, was an ivory"
palace, but even its possession did
not make the King happy. He de-
sired to attach to it fine vineyard
owned by Naboth. He sent Naboth
word of his desires, offering to pur
chase with money or to trade for it
another vineyard. Naboth, asserting
his rights, declined to sell for any
price.
AS result the King was disap-
pointed, heart-sick, vexed, pouty.
He had allowed covetousness to
grow in his heart. He wanted that
vineyard. He was King, so it was
very disrespectful of Naboth to re-
fuse to take a good, liberal price for
it. Naboth declared as his objec-
ton that the Lords regulations for
baGe that he should sell his family
Inheritance. Apparently it was a
hopeless case and Ahab, solemn
and sour, lay abed, refusing food.
COVEToUsNEss IN ACTION
Then entered Jezebel the Queen,
inquiring the cause Of his sorrow.
Hearing it she answered, l will give
it to you. Forthwith she wrote let
tiers to the chief men of the city,
signing the letters with her hus-
bands seal. With brutal frankness
the letters told the select men of the
city what was desired of them.
Q) They were to make a mock
cry of religion by keeping a fast.
(2) They were to act hypocriti.
cally to their neighbor Naboth by
giving him the most prominent
place of honor at the fast.
I'D They were to provide two
worthless scamps presumably by
bribery who, at the appropriate
time in the fast would take their
places near Naboth and then, with
feigned religious fervor, protest
against him and denounce him as a
blasphemer of God and the King,
corroborating each other with sworn
testimony that they had heard the

TRAINING TIRES
GOTCH; ANXIOUS
FOR CONTEST

Humboldt, Ia, Aug. 29-Gotch, after
three hard bouts with his partners, de-
clared today that he was fast firing of
the strenuous work and that he was
anxious to get down to the real con-
test.
Manager Klank appeased the cham
pion by stating that today's and We'd
nesday's work would be of considerably
lighter order and that not until the
two bouts in Chicago on Friday and
Saturday would anything in the way
of the past few days vigorous train
ing work be attempted.
Gotch's excellent condition was evil
denced by the freshness with which he
tackled each one of his three mat part
ners in turn and he appeared in good
shape at the end Of the hours stunt
The whole Gotch camp is anxious to
get to Chicago, where. 1t is believed,
that many who are now favoring Hack
enschmidt will swing over to the
champion after they have had a glimpse
of his condition.

WHITING
MANAGER
EXPLAINS

The following letter has been re-
ceived concerning the Whiting Crown
Point game last Sunday:
Whiting, Ind, Aug. 2s.-Sporting
Editor TIMES: I would like to inform
you regarding the protest regarding the
game at Crown Point Sunday between
Whiting and Crown Point. In the
eighth inning Crown Pont was at bat,
two out, man on first base, ball was
hit to right field. the fielder caught the
ball on the bounce, threw wild to third
and into the crowd and both men
scored The man who hit stood on sec
ond and third base and had to be told
to run home by Captain Elder. Crown
Point claimed they were entitled to go
as far as they liked. So to finish the
game l told my club to finish the game
on protest and l claim the game to
8. Umpire klapper who off1ciated did
not know the Crown Point ground rules
and he was not informed of them He
made statement to Captain Elder that
the ground rules were. the runner was
entitled to extra base a wild
throw at all the rest of the parks of
the Northern Indiana circuit. Elder
said he would not play the game to a
| finish if Umpire Klapper ruled to send
the man back to the base, which look
! ed very much of an amateur baseball
game He kept wrangling on this
| point to quit the game that the crowd
began running in on the field and
| threatened me ard demanded Manager
| Keiser return their money If the game
was not finished. So to satisfy the
| crowd | finished the game, letting the
protest go before the board of direct
ors. This looks very simple to solve as
the official rule book states in rule 70,
| section 3, that any home club having
! ground rules shall inform the umpire
This was not done and Umpire Klapper
| was under the impression that the
same rule that was enforced at the
balance of the parks went at Crown
Point. and the blame lays at the feet
| of the Crown Point management. Hop
ing this will be clear to you, I remain,
Yours truly,
