Johnny Ward, president of the Boston Nationals, wants the foul strike abolished but he is not likely to get his wish. We who can remember the old days before the foul strike, can recall how an eX7 pert could keep on knocking the ball all over the lot except in fair ground un- til he had the pitcher tired out. to say nothing of the spectators. It would mean adding at least half an hour to the play ing time and would do very little good.

 The young abbe gave a name-a long Polish one; address Via San Carlo. 'l will never be able to write that name. Here, you had better write it down your self. You know that postoffice officials are particular about the spelling of names in money orders" The visitor hesitated just moment, but took the pencil and wrote down the information
 On leaving the Pope the day after, the American paid a visit to the cardinal sec retary of state. The visit is de rigueur It is a very short one; the visitor does not even sit down.
 After this a visit to the papal majol domo, who was duly thanked for send ing around one of his secretaries.
 The major domo started. T have only one secretary, and you saw him just out side"

handed the slip of paper to the police su- perintendent of the vatican district. He is a most obliging official and his in- structions are to render us every service in his power. He went with his men to the Via San Carlo; the address was that of lodging house. The Polish secretary was in bed. Several suits of clothes were hung on pegs, ecclesiastical and multi. Which of these suits are we to put on you?' inquired the commissaire. The man protested at first but on seeing the piece of paper he admitted the charge and gave the names of four confederates. One point, the major domo was not able to clear up: How did the gang find out the names and addresses of foreign priests about to be presented to the Pope, as well as the day and hour appointed and other particulars? Was the informa- tion given by some menial?

AMERICAN CATCHES
 CLEVER SWINDLER
Man Who Posed as Young Priest Caught Swindling Visitors to
 the Pope

Rome, December 30.a(Special.) 1.-The presence here of so large a number of high ecclosiastics at the recent consis- tory has developed very novel swindle and the capture of at least one of the swindlers.
 One of the American prelates, the day before he was to be received in audi ence by the Pope, was visited by a young priest, who said he was one of the secretaries of the major domo of his holiness, and had been sent by his chief to give any information about points of etiquette in case the printed instruc- tions sent along with the letter of audi ence were not clearly understood.
 The American thanked his visitor, and in the course of conversation asked him how long he had performed the duties of secretary,
 The reply was that he had held his present position about four years, but was about to leave the service and go as a missionary to another place.
 Then he ingeniously said: Negroes are very like children. Make them presents of trinkets, and they will be all the more disposed to listen to your preaching. l will have to lay in a stock of beads and looking glasses"
 The American prelate, much interested

Has Them All on the Run

WHAT AN UPSETTING of prices the ar rival of the Flanders A" Motorcycle has occasioned Why, the other makers seem to be in panic.
 IT'S FUNNY, TOO, when you recall the un- kind things they said about the Flanders "A" when we first advertised it and stated the price.
 OF COURSE THEY SAID first class four horsepower motorcycle could not be made for $175, even with battery ignition And magneto included utterly impossible. WE WISH WE COULD print all the things they said in their frantic efforts to dis credit the Flanders A" and justify their own prices-which at that time were S25O and S275 for machines of same power and less quality.
 YOU WILL REMEMBER they all said the only way it could be done was to make the machine out of poor materials and throw them together They not only admitted, they protested, they could not duplicate the Flanders "4'' at the price-or anywhere near it.
 THAT WAS BEFORE we had begun to ship Flanders "4's'' to our dealers and custo- mers. They felt safe in making such state ments-for though they knew in their hearts that this concern could not afford to turn out second grade article-they had no idea what @ sensation it was going to create.
 so THEY LAID TRAPS for themselves and now we are driving them right into them.
 THEY MUST EAT their own words-they said they would have to use poor material and poorer work in the making to meet the price of Flanders A. ' WELL, THEY HAVE ALMOST met the price-and they will have to meet it and go lower before they can sell their anticipated machines in competition with this up-to- the minute motorcycle NOW TT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER, but are we to assume that what they said was true and that they are now making punk machines to meet Flanders "4'' in compe- tition-or that they told fibs about it. FRANKLY WE DON'T BELIEVE they are making them any worse-some things are impossible. And we do know that until Flanders ''4' arrived on the scene, prices of motorcycles were high above all reason. WE SAID IN OUR AID that Flanders "4''- magneto misunderstanding for $175, left mighty small profit to us on each machine BUT WE ARE SATISFIED with small profit on each machine so long as we can build 50,000 per year. And the price-S175, magneto included-has created demand sufficient to justify us in building that many
 HERE S A POINT YOU HADN'T NOTICED perhaps: Other makers did not drop their prices until we had actually begun to make deliveries. Do you know why? There were two reasons.
 FIRST: OUR AID CREATED a tremendous demand which we were as yet unable to supply. The other makers saw that and determined to supply some of it at high prices And they did. Then they began to think it was going to continue SECOND: THEY HOPED that when this machine did appear it would not be up to all our claims-and would give them new lease of life.

PLAYERS ARE TIE
 MOST IMPORTANT Baseball Magnates Take Themselves Too Seriously GIANTS HOME AGAIN Ward Wants Foul Strike Abolished.
Ward Wants Foul Strike Abolished. Cobb Writes Story About the Influence of Fans on Ball
 Players-Lajoie's Record
By MANHATTAN

New York, December SO.-(Special)- Wonder how some of the American League magnates really would think if the National League should take them at their word and initiate a baseball war?
 While it would be difficult matter to say just who would come out winner in such a war, 1t is cinch that the mag mates, all of them would come out losers. Not that this would cause any great amount of grief among fans.
 As a matter of fact, I am inclined to believe the magnates take themselves too seriously as part of the game. They are important in way just as the mid dleman is in any business, but the players most important.
 The success of the Detroits for exam pie depends vastly more on Ty Cobb, Caller, Jennings and Cranford than it does on who owns the club. John Brush, or Ben Shibe could drop out and 1t would hardly cause a ripple among the fans Of New York or Philadelphia. But if Christy Matthewson, Chief Bender, Connie Mack or Johnny McGraw, Frank Baker or Larry Doyle should be lost there would be a vail that would be heard through out the length and breadth of the lana.
 It is conceivable that Ban Johnson or Charley Murphy might get so mad at each other that they would do the kilken- nv Cat act and there would not be nearly so much grief among those whose. money makes professional baseball profitable as there would be if anything happened to Hal Chase, or Walter Johnson, or Roger Bresnahan, or Hans Wagner, or Ed Walsh, or Joe Jackson, or anyone of half a hundred great ball players.
 So if the very able gentlemen who make fortunes out of the game will get the proper perspective on themselves, they will not interfere with the game too much and there will be no baseball war.

The Giants are home. from Cuba, after showing the Cubans what real big league baseball looks like and fit enough to go right into the game again.
 McGraw is delighted with the Cubas trip and expects it to enable him to start next season in better shape than he would have been in had he not made it. The Giants made a wonderful record in Cuba winning out of the 12 games played.

NOT ONLY THAT: But in addition to hop ing, they set about picking it to pieces be- fore they had actually seen it themselves. IT IS A FACT that, before we had shipped one motorcycle we heard stories told by competitors of how this part was weak and that part wrong, etc. The wish was father of the thought-that was all
 OH! WHAT A BUMP they got when we began to send them over the country. The effect was electrical.
 PRICES BEGAN TO TUMBLE First they chopped off $2500-rnade theirs S25O and $225 instead of $275 But it didn't do. Dealers wired them-tYou must meet Flanders prices. No use to damn the ma- chine-it has Flanders name on it and the public knoWs.'
 OFF CAME ANOTHER S25-and another. Here and there they put on 8 magneto and tried to hold the old price. No go-Flanders had said, No motorcycle is complete with out magnetic.
 WELL THEY HAVEN'T YET reached our price. Can't, and stay in business, because most of them are not manufacturers-onl assemblers. They buy motors and other parts and pay one or two extra profits on them.
 IT COSTS THEM MORE to build the same machine than we can sell it for. Get that? WE HAVE THE FACILITIES $2,25O,O0O concern. We make every part We buy right and pay cash and it costs us less to sell-because folks know dollars worth when they see it, and Flanders "4' is the biggest value ever offered. It sells itself. EVERY DEALER KNOWS Didn they all hot foot it" to Detroit to get the agency? Of course we couldn't give it to them all we picked the best and of course those who didn't get it are sore. Naturally And they are getting sorer every day. WHEN A DEALER KNOCKS the Flanders "4'-as, of course he must, to sell other makes-j just ask him why he was unable to get the agency when he asked for it. You won't miss one in a hundred.
 MEANTIME what you want to know is how soon can you get 8 Flanders "4.' That is the burning question with thousands. And we are doing our best to answer it defi- nitely.
 IT DEPENDS ENTIRELY on how soon your order is in our dealers hands, We can't promise to deliver on the minute-for we have none in stock. Demand is away ahead of supply all the time. But get your order in-pay deposit so the dealer will know you mean business and you won't have to wait more than month-perhaps not more than two weeks. The dealer will tell you for he knows when we have promised to ship him. Or you may write direct to us and we will gladly tell you.
 THE FLANDERS GUARANTEE goes with every machine. That means that if the ma chine we ship you isn't right we will make it right The name Flanders stands for quality-you know that.

Mr.. E. A. Penn has withdrawn from

opened store in the old Mullin build

heavy hardware including wagons,

general repair materials. Mr.. Penn is
deservedly popular. He is straightfor-

anything. This makes him a safe man
to deal with and accounts for the fact
that so many people inquire about him

at the right prices. The Sentinel be-

1t has been my pleasure during the
summer to meet many Of you whom
the duties of busy teacher had pre-
vented my knowing before.
Let me thank you for your generous
hospitality and the support which you
gave me.
Much good work has been done in
Grenada county, educationally. But
hard work is not good work. Good
work is earnest and persistent effort
directed by knowledge gained from
practice and experience. To give di-
rection to the work of the teachers of
the county, is the most valuable SER
vice the county superintendent can rem.
der the people. am not candidate
to tear down, but to build up-to ado
something to the educational fabric OF
the county, gathered from twenty-five
years experience as teacher. l So
licit your vote and support in the ap'
preaching election.
Cordially yours,
R. H. Hester.

To the voters of the 29th Senatorial
district of Mississippi:
By the solicitation of people of all
classes and factions, my natural aver
sion to politics was overcome and an
nounced as candidate for state sem
ator. The Office, if filed at all by me.
must be at the sacrifice of my pecuni-
ary interests, and under present condi-
tions, against my personal inclinations.
l therefore withdraw from the race,
and in doing so l would express nv ap-
probation and heartfelt thanks to my
friends for their many kind words and
support, and especially so, as l was
actively engaged in the campaign for
only ten days, and the votes received
by me were for the most part unso-
licited.
My opponents and close this race
on the friendliest terms and those who
voted against me have been uniformly
courteous, and no unpleasantness marks
the few days l spent in the canvass.
Respectfully,

by me thus far in my race for county
prosecuting attorney, and have proved
to be such faithful and loyal friends.
! have made a clean, fair campaign
and have asked the consideration of
the voters entirely on my own merits.
Enough of the people have endorsed

preciate very much.

thorough investigation of my character

in the first primary. lacked only 66
votes Of defeating my five opponents.
To have received such large vote
when there were five other good, hon.

for somebody else are my friends.
In soliciting further endorsement
of the people of the county, promise
them that If again chosen chancery
clerk to continue to make the very best
officer of which l am capable. do not
think that anybody has ever charged
me with incomretency, inefficiency,
neglect of duty, or with being unac-
commodating or unobliging. Then if
this be true, there can be no reason for
my defeat other than to satisfy the
wishes Of somebody else. / have served
but one full term, being at first chosen
to carry out a trust that the people had
committed to my lamented father. If

that shall willingly retire at the close
Of my term and that shall not be a

the people to carefully weigh conditions
and consider whether or not l have
served them faithfully before casting
