GAME rs DECLARED
VOID BY COMMISSION
Protest of Internationals
Over Decision Is Sus-
tanned

A special meeting of the city league
arbitration commission was called late
Wednesday afternoon to decide upon
the protest entered by the Information
ais over the game with the Globe
Mills team last Sunday, and as a re-
suit of the reports made the game
was declared void and will have TO be
played over.
The question involved was one OF
rules It was shown that with man
on second. Tarango hunted ball
down third base line, which went foul.
Umpire McCamant Immediately called
1T foul and third baseman Hoover OF
Globe Mills made no attempt to field
the ball Still rolling the ball came
back into the diamond an2 passed third
base safe by foot. The umpire took
the stand that as he had called it foul
be had interfered with the fielding
of the ball and would not reverse his
decision However as the rules clear
" state that a ball passing base line
fair must be called fair, the arbitration
commission upheld the rules.
This IS the first protest with good
grounds that has been filed with the
city league commission and their &C
ton in this matter indicates that they
intend the players shall abide by the
rules and shall play regular league
ball. and In the event Of decision
there is back Of them an arbitration
committee that will Judge fairly upon
all matters and uphold straight league
playing.

tnus weaken the power Of evil men by
enhancing the contempt we feel for
them.
People become revealed to US by the

How White Civilization Has CORRUPTED
the Rude Red Man.
1t is enough to sadden the heart of
any intelligent man with a conscience
to look upon the face of an American
indian. There are good many of them
In these parts (western Canada). so
that any one who has a talent for re-
morse has frequent opportunity to be
inwardly disquieted
1t was, think, a distinguished bish-
op of the Episcopal church who pub
lished a while ago history of our
dealings with the Red Man, and enti-
tied his book "A Century Of Dishonor"
A soldiers estimate was that "the only
good indian was a dead indian"
The verdict of soldier in matters Of
for butchery is his profession, and any
mans sensibilities rise or fall to the
level Of his occupation; his hands are
colored to the complexion of the mate
rial that he handles
The lamentable thing about II all is
that the qualities that have made the
Indian hateful to the white man are
qualities that have been cultivated in
the indian by contact with the white
man. We ought to Judge the breed.
by the features that distinguish 1t be-
fore it had been tainted by the base
ingredients of white civilization.
Adulterated civilization will corrupt
more rapidly than pure barbarism The
indian is a lower creature than when
we first came here's and we are re-
sponsible for It,
We have stolen his lands and robbed
him of his virtues
The indian hater should read a vol
ume recently issued. entitled The Soul
OF the Indian" 1t was written by an
indian, now the husband of an Ameri-
can wife, not unknown IN literary cir
cles.
The spirit Of the volume is indicated
by the terms used in its dedication,

virtues" Which is to say that her
moral charm Is due to her possession OF
the qualities originally distinctive Of
indian character Among such quail
tiles, specified in the course OF the VOL
ume, are piety. prayerfulness, truthful
ness and chastity
Here's What One Civilized Indian Has
Put Into a Book.
The animating impulse of the book
Is told in these words: Long before
I ever heard of Christ or saw a white
man 1 had learned from an untutcred
woman the essence of morality. With
the help OF dear nature herself she
taught me things simple, but Of
mighty import I knew God. I per-
ceived what goodness is. / saw and
loved what is really beautiful CtTili-

better"
