zOO ZOOS SLAUGHTERED
by GAME LOCAL birds"

The second game of the series with
the Zoo Zoos went the way of the first,
but by greatly increased majority.
When Smiths Woodpeckers got tired
running bases and Cap'n gave the sig
nal to cease the slaughter, total OF
nine tallies had been rolled up to a
measley three graciously rendered the
Zoos by the Timberjacks.
It was game devoid of sensational
plays but cram full of fun and lu-
dicrous situations Goliath" Mulla-
ney's dominickers made brave start,
but true to the proverbial cold-feeted-
ness and chicken-heartedness charac-
teristic of that particular variety of
fowl, they early in the fight sought
safety in flight and to the end of the
fracas apparently had but one object
In view, and that was to keep out of
the way of Smiths scrappy
Peckerwoods. The pace set by
the Peckerwoods was bit
too brisk for Mullaneys flock
and the exertion incident thereto
gave them a swimming in the head or
vertigo, and at times the ball was
chunked with a vengeance hither,
thither, willy-nilly, without reason but
with fine results to the home team.
A left-hander, laboring under the
cog of Bokenfohr was sent in for the
Zoo Zoos with instructions to pitch a
hitless, runless game. This back-and-
forth gent lasted but three sessions,

DEMOCRATS Win
IN BALTIMORE
Election Was Closely Contested
James H. Preston The Success
full Candidate.

Baltimore, May 3.-After one of the
most closely-contested elections on
record in Baltimore, James H. Pres
ton, Democrat, has been chosen mayor
of Baltimore for the next four years,
over former Mayor E. Clay Timanus,
Republican.
Until almost the end of the count
last night the result was in doubt, and
it took over threefourths of the city's
vote to indicate who had won. Even
on figures it is impossible to say
accurately what the winners majority
will be, but it is now estimated it will
not exceed 500.
The Democrats have carried a ma
jority of the members of the first
branch of the City Council and have
apparently elected all their candidates
for the second branch with the excep-
ton of the two in the Fourth District,
which the Republicans carried.
No doubt exists that all three of the
proposed loans have carried and the
| administration is assured of authority
to expend $10,000,000 additional on
sewers, $5,000,000 on paving, and 3d.
10000 on paving in the annex.

SPARE THE OLD THINGS.
A Plea For the Preservation of Keep .

Most everything is being sacrificed
nowadays to the spirit of practicable

to give room to a modern electric sign
that tells the same story The baby's
first pair Of shoes, wee dainty and soIf..
as they are, are thrown in the trash
pile that til re may be room in the top
drawer for the powder box.
All of this destruction of "auld lang
syne" sentiment and the basis of rem
niscence is chuck full of wrong. The
most Interesting place in or near
Washington is Mount Vernon. The
most magnificent square in Philadel-
phia is Independence hall. The most
valuable spot in Texas is the old
Alamo at San Antonio Such places
as these contain the story of Ameri-
can history, and the citizen who views
and thinks while viewing-and no one
can view without thinking
instantly a patriot, likewise a better
husband and better father.
Keep the old love tokens. Don't de-
stroy the cold gray bonnets." Treas

letters. And we may not have as
much room, but we will have more
sweetness. and there will be more
heart In the world.-Wichita Beacon.

spectators, it is strictly business to
the players. Professional ball men
were unheard of in our grandfather's
time, but now the stars" in the big
leagues are among the best salaried
men of the day. In the short season.
from April to October-they draw
more money than many college breS
men make in five times that many
months, and they do not work as hardS
for it. 1t is estimated that the men,
bers of the American and National
Leaguers alone received last year in
salaries on less than S1,000,000 Other
leagues were paid in proportion. Sala-
ries like these lift the calling to the
plane of a profession, and high pro-
fession, since money is become the
standard of the worlds measurement.
And it is right that these players
should be well paid, for they are in
sense, public helpers. They draw
bookworms and office drones into the
fresh air. they concentrate city pride.
they rub out lines of social and po-
litical differences and make all men
brothers in one cause. On the bleach
ers there are no high and no low, no
rich and poor-they are all fans"
Surly fans when the home team los
es; yelling volcanoes of enthusiasm
when there is victory in the wind. A
tWo-bagger will set the sluggish pulse
of sedate business man beating like
boys; home run will bring him 10
his feet, yelling like a Comanche! No
galvanic shock, taken under medical
direction is half so good a nerve tonic
as this thrill of the game"
For these two reasons of democratic
comradeship and health, the national
game is national blessing. and it is.
therefore, not surprising that the open
ing OF the season has come to be
pivotal point of the year, and that the
skilled players are the heroes of the
hour. Last year, it is estimated that
more than 250O0,OOO people attended
the games of the big leagues, besides
the unnumbered thousands who watch
ed the sport as it was demonstrated
by teams out of the professional ring.
No, we have no national anthem, put
We have something like a national cry

ball!"-CommercialAppeal.
