roo MUCH PITCHER
FAULT OF THE CAME.
FMcGinrity Would Lower the eox-Bia ] Help to Hitting.

Iron Man Joe McGinnity and Eagle Eye Jake Beckley. both of whom ought to know considerable about the work ings of the never-ending conflict be- tween the pitcher and the batter, have widely different ideas Sas to what should be done to increase batting.
 McGinnity is of the opinion that the pitchers mound is doomed and that hereafter the twirler must be on a level with the batter. He also thinks creased to 50 feet from the box to the home plate.
 Beckley claims that to reducs the pitching distance would make hitting more difficult than it is today. With the short distance says Eagle Eye, 'the pitcher with speed will wing them over so that the batter will never see the ball.'
 McGinnity has radical views on the subject. He thinks the game is case of atoo much pitcher Being a man ager. the Iron Man appreciates the troubles of the batsnlen. He says on the subject:
 Baseball just now is a one-man game. manager gets good pitchers and builds the team llp around the finger. The idea is to get q twiTler in the box who can keep the opposing team from scoringsmany runs and try to make more off the man performing in the box for tue other fellows.
 Bl putting fllte DON OH Il fever WILL sthe rest of the diamond the twirlars- that is. most of the1n-would find if harder to fool the batters. Underhand twirIers would like to see the box down as low as possible, as it would help them in their work
 'The riiles committee has gone the wrong way about it in trying to in- crease hitting- In moving the hox far- ther away from the plate the baseball rules only handicapped the sluggers. It would have been better if the pitch CT had been moved up nearer the bat ter. It is easily figured out that 8 man standing at the r}ate can hit it out when the pitcher is near the plate. x
 Take for instance. a few years @ go. when the tWifler stood only 45 feet | from the man at bat. Look at the hitting that was done in those days. Ire pitchers probably didn't have as many curves, but they had speed. and there were nof near as many strike outs.
 Nowadays tho batter gets his eye on the ball too quick. When the sphere comes up to him he is unable to do himself justice. I talked this matter lover with the rules committee few years ago and suggested at that time that the pitchirg distance be made 50 feet from the home plate I believed +hen. nd am of the same opinion now. that such g change would increase batting all around"

WESTERN Man Hasa SUIT
AGAINST GREAT NORTHERN
Elected from Train and For:
Ced to Walk Many
Miles
Wants $4,000 for Taking
Fourteen Mile Walk
Especial to the TrIbune)


SPOKANE, Wash, Aug. 11.-Jurors
in the Spokane county superior court,
to be convened the first week in Sep
tember,. will: be called upon to decide
what is reasonable balm when a pas
senger, suffering from toothache, is
elected from train and forced to
walk "a miles to enlist the services of
a dentist-surgeon.
John H. Larson, who is the central
figure in this hard Luck story, wants
$4,000 from the Great Northern Rail-
way company for what is described
in his complaint as Humiliation,
shame, disgrace and physical pain"
Counsel for the company has asked
for details.
Stripped of it's legal verbiage, the
complaint sets forth that Larson
boarded a Spokane'bound train in Lin
coin county on June 20, 1911. He was
told by the ticket agent to pay the
conductor, as there was not sufficient
time to sell ticket On the train
Larson rendered $40 gold coin, but
Conductor Stedman refused to accept
it in payment of fare, saying the coin
was spurious.
Larson had $3.15 in silver, but that
amount was not sufficient to pay his
fare to Spokane, so the train was
stopped and tine passenger elected. He
sought the agent in the station at
Waukon; pronounced walk on" and
was told the next train would be
along in IA hours, SO he decided to
follow the "tip" on the sign.
Meanwhile, the pain of the aching
tooth became more aggravated and
when Larson reached Spokane, follow.
ing the long hike on the grade, his
jaw was swollen so Ibis friends failed
to recognize him, and this continued
until the offending molar was ex-
tracted.
Moreover, Larson found the gold
coin was one of Uncle Sans own
make and he readily obtained $40
when he rendered it at local bank.
This and a few other things prompted
him to enter the action against the
corporation, which will contest the
suit.

MURDER Of CHILDREN
ALLEGED TO Be PLOT

FULTON, Mo-, Aug. 7-What coun
ty authorities believe to be plot fol
the wholesale poisoning of children
has been unearthed at Concord, in
Galloway county, and as result two
men and woman were arrested theil
yesterday by order of the prosecut
ing attorney and brought to Fulton
to be arraigned. The persons ar
rested are Lee Boyd, farmer, his
wife, Mrs. Anna Boyd, and Jefferson
Woods, horse dealer.
The children whose lives were en-
dangered belong to families whose
members testified in a SANDER suit
recently brought by Mrs. Boyd against
DR.. w. B. Ellis, physician of Con
cord. Mrs. Boyd asked $4,000 dam
ages, alleging that DR.. Ellis had de-
famed her character. The jury
brought in a verdict for the defendant
Chewing Gum Poisoned
The first alleged attempt on the
lives of the children was made sew
eral weeks ago, when package of
chewing gum was found in the yard
of Edward McPheeters, a nephew of
Judge Robert McPheeters of Fulton.
Less than a week ago another pack
age of gum was placed near the gate
of the McPheeters' home. A three
year old child of the family was in
the act of putting piece of the gum
in it's mouth when an older member
of the family interfered.
The gum was sent to chemist,
who discovered that it was sprinkled
profusely with strychnine.
Second Package Found.
After the second package of gum
was found the McPheeters' home was
watched. The placing of gum on the
premises of people in the vicinity of
Concord has become frequent the last
few days, and at least three more
appear to have been included
in the oisoning plot. All the gum
which has been found has been pre-
served and will be examined by a
chemist.
All the families on whose premises
the poisoned gum has been placed
have small children.
Bond was fixed at $1,000 for Mrs.
Boyd and $4,000 each for Boyd and
Woods. All gave bail. No prelimin-
airy hearing will be held. and the case
will be docketed for the September
term of court.

UNDERWOOD PEOPLE TO
get LOADING platform
PRESSURE OF OTHER WORK HAS
PREVENTED BUILDING
BEFORE NOW
Order Of Railway Commission will be
Complied with shortly-Lumber on
Hand Some Time.

Even railroads have their troubles
and the officials of these corporations
are not exempt from criticism, and
the criticism is seldom of a compli-
mentary nature.
AS an example the case of the
500 line may be cited. A platform
was ordered by the railway commits
sion to satisfy the petition of Under
wood residents. The platform was
slow in assuming shape and as a con-
sequence the people of Underwood
voiced a strong protest. The state
railway commission has an inflated
ear into which all such complaints
are poured. An ear inflated not so
much by over-listening as by the
great volume of sound poured into
it. In due course the Underwood
complaint found Judgment there and
the commission in the line of its duty
called the attention of the 500 line
to its apparent neglect of the Under
woodites. This reminder brought
Supt. Derrick in with an explanation.
He says the lumber for the Under:
wood platform has been on the ground
and in plain sight of the residents of
that pretty little town for period
of three weeks. Each morning the
peaceful citizens of Underwood ex-
pected to be awakened from dreams
of big crops by the sound of the car
penter's hammer. They longed for
song of the saw and in due time their
longing turned to feelings of resent
ment. The carpenter force of the
500 line was busy replacing bridge
which had been burned, work much
more important to the 500 company
than an inoffensiye station platform
at Underwood. The explanation
seems satisfactory on it's face and
Supt. Derrick makes it in such plaus'
ible force that it satisfies the railway
and in a few days when
the platform changes from pile OF
boards to a broad, smooth surface
even Underwood citizens will have no
further complaints to offer. Large
bodies move slowly" is maxim old
and they do say the lumber pile at
Underwood is a big one.
