BASKET BALL
IN HAMMOND
ON SATURDAY

Hammond basketball fans saw their
ISOLATION win one and lose one game
last Saturday night.
The first team of the H. A A defeat
ed the Austin high school by a score
of 43 to Is, while the second team of
the H. A. A. lost to the Y NJ c. A.
Tigers of Chicago by a score of 80 to
SO.
The second game was really more
spectacular than the first because of
the closer score and was regarded as
one of the best matches ever seen in
Hammond.
The Austin high school is ranked
high in Chicago for its basket ball
players and despite the size of the
players they being nearly all six foot
ers. the first II. A. A. team had a walk
away with them.
The attendance was good and en-
thusiastic one. There was good
sprinkling of ladies among the specta-
tors all of which speaks well for the
high class sport that the H. A. A. is
putting on this winter
The game next Saturday for the first
III. A. A. team will be with the Taber-
, nacle Baptists Of Chicago who played
here early this season and defeated the
second team by an easy score They
promise to do the SINE things to the
first team and on that will hange the

REJECT NEW
PLAN Of RUNNING
THE BASES
Nine Big Leaguers Living
Here Denounce Change
Change.

Ball players who are whitening in
this city found time yesterday to ex-
press themselves on the proposed
change in the rules regarding base
stealing, which would allow that a base
runner could not be tagged out after
oversliding or overrunning second or
third base The thing was brought out
by Charles Murphy last week. who was
prompted to it by a suggestion from
the veteran Ted Sullivan. Murphy
talked so favorably of 1t that it was
thought he might suggest it at the
next meeting of the rules committee,
of which he is a member.
OF nine big league players consulted
yesterday not one favored the change.
Billy Sullivan, the veteran backstop
man for the White Sox was one Of the
players who talked against the rule.
It's no good" said 'Sully." and 1 can't
believe it would ever be passed. It
would give the base runner a chance to
do too much kicking on decisions and
would lead to a wide slide so it would
be hard to tell whether a man touched
the bag or not Part of the base run
ming game is to steal a base and hold
it."
another catcher who spoke on the
proposed change was Eddie Sweeney OF
the New York Highlanders, who re-
sides in this city, I'D need a gun to
pick off those base runners was the
way he put 1t. It's hard enough tc
nail them now. but If they had chance
to slide past the bag and tag it with
at toe while passing the catcher would
have to throw as accurately as riff.

Semi profess ional baseball in Ham

Indiana.
This year for the first time the teams

Mr.. Wickershan is
Eninently Right.

The Journal takes pleasure in say
ing that Attorney General Wickersham
is right in his conclusions in regard
to the regulation of trusts. The reason
The Journal knows he is right is be-
cause he made speeches endorsing both
sides of the question, and, no matter
how the trusts are finally regulated.
Mr.. wickersham will have advocated
that step.
Out in Duluth. the other day he
grew enthusiastic when he advocated
the government regulation of the trusts
and endorsed everything suggested by
Judge Gary several weeks ago just
after the decision of the supreme court
ordering the Standard OIL Company
dissolved.
Right after this he made another
the supreme courts decision would be
really effective and would result in the
dissolution of the monopoly and COM
petition would be restored.
But Mr.. Wickersham does not seem
in a hurry to destroy. monopolies. He
takes satisfaction out in talking.
The Sherman antitrust law is not
an ideal one by any means but 1t is
a criminal statute, whereas the de-
partment of justice and Mr.. Wicker
sham have construed it as a civil one
only
1t would appear that Mr.. Wicker
sham is not in favor of prosecuting the
officials of these trusts on criminal
charges although the law is specific
and plain. If the supreme court has
seen fit to dissolve the trusts, then
the officials are criminally guilty and
should be prosecuted and made to
serve sentences in prison.

miles north, thus placing the geo
graphical center of the county (north
and south) about on the north line Of
township one, north, or about the head
of BrOsnaham's Island. The center of
population of Escambia county would,
of course, be much farther south than
this.
Santa Rosa county extends about if
teen miles south of the base line, and
thirty miles north, which throws the

north, or some three miles north of
the center of Escambia, and while
the northern half of Santa Rosa is
generally more populous than the
southern, as Milton and Bagdad, which
together contain nearly half of the
population of the county, are south of
this line, it is safe to assume that the
center of population of Santa Rosa
county is at least as far south as its
geographical center.
AS the vast preponderance Of popu-
lation of the southern half of Escam-
bia, would pull its center as far south
as Ferry Pass, it would appear that if
it proves practicable to build the
bridge there, it would be the logical
point, having in view the greatest good
of the greatest number, and If not
there, at the most southerly point that
it appears to be at all practicable.
Even should the expense of building
at the most southerly point at all
practicable be much greater, the great
est interest should warrant the greater
expenditure.

COUNTESS DE
LACY MISSING
SHE HAS BEEN LEFT 4 FORTUNE
OF TEN MILLIONS, BUT THERE
is LITTLE LIKELIHOOD OF HER
EVER EEING FOUND.
Special to The Journal.

New York, July 29.-Very little hope
is entertained by the police and secret
service agents of the Russian govern
ment, who have been securing New
York for the last few weeks in search
of the missing Countess de Lacy, wife
of the Russian nObleman, recently sen
fenced to a Siberian prison for life for
conspiring to bring about the death CT
a score of persons in st. Petersburg
Through the death of her aunt, Mme
de LaZari, the countess, who fed from
Russia to escape being sent to mad
house by her father, General Boturlin,
has been left $10,000,000.
Efforts to locate her in Europa
having failed, it was concluded she
had sought an asylum here. If she
has, she has contrived to cover her
tracks so Cleverly that no trace of her
has been found, although every corner
of the city to which she might venture
for a refuge has been visited in vain.
Interest in the search for her has been
unusually keen because of the extra
ordinary character Of the crimes OF
which her husband. was convicted
Moving in the best society Of st. Pc
tersburg and a welcome guest at the
cars court, Count de Lacy, conceiv-
ing that he could secure possession OF
large and valuable estates held by the
relative sof his wife by expecting their
an elderly physician OF some skill to
inoculate them with cholera microbes
In this way he was accused with doing
away with the brother Of his wife.
Count Nasilli Boturlin, and with at
tcmpts on the life of her father, Cen
eral Boturlin, and her aunt, Nine. de
La@Gri.
The cid general persisted in the BE-
!isf that his daughter had assisted IN
the plot, though she was not directly
accused at the trial. After the con-
victioa her family spurned her. The
old aunt, Nine. de Lazari, who had
heen a mother to her, moved to Paris
tc escae from the scandal after turn
ing her niece adrift.
Practically penniless, disowned by
her relatives, denied by her former in
innate friends, the countess was re-
ported to have gone out of her mind
Her father ordered a provision for her
removal to a private sanitarium, but
when his agents began a search for
her the ywere unable to find any trace
Of her. Subsequently they were advised
she had fed to America.

Mr.. Bryan and
The Nebraska Democracy.

More or less talk is now being heard
IN the ranks of the anti Bryan press
relative to the Nebraska state conven>
ticn of last week.
From the tone of this gratuitous
comment one would be led to conclude
that the Nebraska democracy had re-
pudiated w. ]. Bryan and everything
he stood for, though nothing could be
further from the truth.
The fact is that the convention took
the most pronounced stand in favor of
progressive reforms that Nebraska has
ever stood for. Mr.. Bryan was not
there, but the principles which he has
so long stood for were there by a very
large majority.
The platform calls for an extension
of the primary law so that the demo-
Gratis may name their presidential
preference and select a national COM
mitteeman. 1t also calls for the initia-
tive and referendum in state legisla-
tion.
The Douglass county delegation
composed chiefly of Omaha brewery
representatives, wanted to denounce
Bryan and endorse Judson Harmon for
president, but the representative de-
mocracy of Nebraska would have none
of such horse play and the Omaha
brewery people consequently went home
disappointed.
The Nebraska democrats are al
right and Mr.. Bryan is still the biggest
democrat among them just as he is yet
