Hy Joe Tinker. the Famous Short
 stop Of the Chicago CubsJ
 On being asked which was the greatest game in which l ever played | would say that there was only one that could be called great game. tha; is. one in which every one Of both teams was under the highest tension from the minute the game was called the game when Chicago played off the tie with New York in 1908, which decided the National league cham pionship.
 lt probably will be remembered by most of the close followers Of base bah that this game was played on as a result Of Merkle's failure to touch the second base.
 Perhaps the most remarkable feat. ure about this eyentful game was the fact that the Chicago team had to jay of three days before the game, as the series was up on Sunday, while New York had three more games to play with Boston. New York had to win those games and they did so
 There was a great deal of discus sion at the tune as to whether thers would be one or three games played on The rules required that two games out of three should decide the issue hut in this instance the commission decided that one game only should be played to decide the championship.
 The decision was reached on Tues- day that Chicago and New York should play off this tie on the Polo grounds in New York on Thursday On this short notice the Chicago team boarded the Twentieth Century Tim tied at 2:50 Wednesday afternoon and arrived in New York about 10 o'clock Thursday morning, just four hours before the game.
 No one can realize what that awful ly tedious ride meant to the members of the Chicago. with nothing but that game on their minds during the long hours Of that ride.

 After 90 minutes Of really hard fighting and with the aid of a police man, whom. fortunately, l had me before. finally made my way through the crush.
 When the Chicago team appeared on the field they were met with misses and hooung. which continued through out the game.

NEW YORK. Feb. S:-Represent- atives of the several hundred prom inent tennis clubs and associations through out the country are arriving from all directions to attend the thirty-first annual meeting of the United States National Lawn Tennis association to be held In the Waldorf Astoria in this city. The meeting promises to be one of unusual inter- es. and importance to all devotees of the game. The awarding of the cham pionships for 1912 is one of the first matters to be taken up at the meet ing. The effort to take the big tourns- ment away from Newport. where the event has been held regularly for a number of years, will be renewed. The Point Judith Country Club of NarTagansett Pier will make strong bid for both the singles and doubles events. Philadelphia will also be a factor, and the Merton Cricket Club of Haverford and the Germantown Club will enter the field if the deci- sion is against Newport. Another important matter to engage the at- tention of the meeting is the proposed adoption of new rules to govern the Ranking committee. A successor will be elected to succeed James Dwight Of Boston, the veteran president of the association, who has declined to stand for reelection. Among those prominently mentioned to succeed him are William A. Larned, the pres
 enJ champion and Henry w. Slocum

 Chance then called on Brown. who entered the box and stopped the scoring. lie then settled down in the third inning ana we got in four runa, which proved by Inc outcome to be all we needed.
 The Trouble Starts
 ! had the good luck to be the first man np to bat in the third inning, and l have since recalled with interest an incident of the game.
 As l took my position at the plate I saw Chlisty MatheWson turn around in the pitchers box and motion "y Seymour iu ceuteriield to play 10 the left center. Seymour moved but . little to the Jeff, apparently not much needing Mathewson. ] ripped one hign ont over Seymour's head for three bases.
 When the crowd saw me lead of with that three bagger il was as quiet as a funeral and you can imagine what the tension was during the next few minutes. Johnny King then sin. gled. Evers followed with a walk and Frank Schulte doubled. scoring King Frank Chance then singled. scoring Evers and Schulte.
 With three-one lead there was a terdinc tumult on that field and from that moment on the crowd was simply frantic
 The minute the game was over the Chicago boys had 10 run for the club honse, for every cue of them, after the demonstration following the four runs. was really afraid of bodily harm.
 The New York "Roueh House"
 Frank Chance was nearly done up, someone hitting him on the neck and knocking him nearly senseless. l got mixed up in the crowd before the clubhouse was reached and was struck on the forehead. I didn't turn around -I just kept a-Tambling for that clubhouse.
 After We had all gotten into the clubhouse, whicl. had a sort of glass roof. the crowd commenced throwing stones, and the broken glass fell down upOn uS in the room where We were dressing We were all forced to get into the lockers and stay there until the crowd had gone.
 As quickly as we could get away from the clubhouse We went 10 the hotel and immediately jumped train for Chicago.
 That game was. 10 my mind. the greatest in my knowledge Of base bali. Iii fact, l think 1t was the most bitter ever played. l have never since faced a crowd so furious and ] hope never to have 10 play under such try ing circumstances again. There was one place where Frank ! Chance deserves great credit as 2 general and leader of men, for ] doubt If anyone else could have pulled the Chicago boys through under such try ing circumstances.

 Year Works Wonders
 4 year Of Considerate treatment will do wonders for the hope or the white race, and in the meantime Champion Jack Johnson, and, for that matter. sam Langford and Sam Nc Yea will be easier to handle than they are now.
 At first it may sound unsportsman- like 10 advocate the keeping of Palzer in reserve until the present holder Of the title begins 10 mellow. But in a way there is a precedent for il.
 Never heavyweight Queensberry champion get lost his crown in his best fighting days. Everyone knows that John l.. Sullivan was middle-age and portly when he lost to Corbett and that Corbett. after years of high life and frayed nerves could barely stand training for his Carson City match with Fritzsimmons.
 The Cornishman who was always a freak and who could not be judged from an age standpoint like other ring men, said he was in a trance for several rounds when Jeffries took the championship from him. and there is scarcely an excuse for recalling what Jenries looked like al Reno. With his thin hair and his pinched face, he was totally unlike the snappy-eyed, brown skinned Hercules Of six years earlier. Yes, indeed The record shows that ! the championship never changed ! hands until the champion began to de cline and until Jack Johnson becomes a trifle wheeZy.
 | But Palzer hasn't licked Flynn yet and it isn't an odds-on bet that he will lick Flynn. Nor is it a certainty that the men will fight.
 Johnson Confuses Plan Jack Johnson has muddled the pugi listic pool to some purpose by sayirR that Flynn will have 10 cancel the Palzer match or consider the Flynn Johnson match cancelled. This how ever may merely cause temporary COT fusion At this writing it looks a: ] though fhe 'F1ynu Johnson scheme
 will have to be abandoned. An amend
 ment to the law against dueling IT Nevada has made imperative tho sagebrush measure permitting finisl
 fights according to legal authorities
 and with Nevada out O. the question
 there does not seem to be any place in this country where Flynn and John

ORy W. ". Naughton)

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. S.-ACcord- ing 10 the best information obtain. able. Tom ORourke is in no hurry to send Al Palzer against the world champion. Jack Johnson.
 If ORouke was quoted correctly, he delivered himself as follows:
 ..Palzer is a kid and he needs eX- perience. l want him 10 meet Jim Flynn and Carl Morris before he eV- en thinks of a match with the big ne gro. When send Palzer against John- son you can bet he will win,
 There is good sound judgement in that, but al the same time the course mapped out does not insure Palzer against risk 10 his budding ambitions. If the writer remembers clearly, the itinerary laid out for Carl Morris was about the same as that proposed for Palzer Carl was not to think or q match with Johnson for fully year. He was to be housed in a costly gym nasiun and coached and trained by inc greatest experts possible.
 he was 10 be allowed to work off his superfluous energy in a few safe contests and was to be developed gradually until he could he entrusted with the task Of yanking the laurel wreath from JOhnson's dusky brow and restoring the fstic supremacy to the white race.
 4 20 with Jim Flynn was to be a mart of Carl's education but 1t practl' cally put a stop to his championship atudies. And now Al PalZer is expect ed to add to his experience by tack ling this same Flynn.
 We'll, it may turn out all right and then again it may not. There Is nc shrewder judge Of merit in fighters than ORourke and, if he honestly be Iieyes that PalZer is a match Tor Flynn, the only thing to do is to lay back and wait for results.
 Flynn is Dangerous
 Beyond A doubt, Flynn IS about as dangerous a man as white hope O limited experience could be sen against.
 While never a star performer th' Pueblo fireman has had his knowl edge of ring maneuvers enriched b! contact with all manners of fighters
 He has been against the clever one and the tremendous hitters, ana n' has developed cOnpOslte styAc. AH aas faced Jack Johnson and San I,angford and Tommy Burns and Bill. Pspke and Jack O'Brien and Al kaui man and more besides.

During years Of bein huffeted he learned to change gea rapidly, and such a man IS always ID rankest poison to a novice Whos meager acquaintance with the rin game compels him to adopt the sam tactics round after round

CROWD SMALL AT
MACON'S REUNION
VETERANS ARE RETURNING
E ENT FAILED TO EQUAL
THAT HELD IN LITTLE ROCK
LAST YEAR.
(BY STAFF CORRESPONDENT


Little Rock, May 13.-Back from
Macon, where the annual reunion of
Confederate veterans was attended,
the Arkansas tourists are more firm
ly convinced than ever that Arkansas
is the grandest of all states, and that
Arkansas still holds the palm for en-
Pertaining the really big reunion.
This is said without discussing the
success of Macon in handling the re-
union, for it would be impossible to
have hospitality more lavishly tender
ed than it was in the beautiful little
city of Georgia.
There were many things about the
Macon reunion which were particu-
larly interesting to the people Of Ar
kansas who were in attendance. Prob
ably the chief of these was the way
statewide prohibition was handled in
the Cracker state, because efforts are
now being made to put Arkansas in
the dry column. It was impossible to
get anything but "near beer" in Ma
con, Atlanta and other Georgia cities,
but this "near beer" came out of the
same watts as the product which is
sold in other states as the real stuff.
Macon is a beautiful city, laid out
with wide streets and little parks

TWICE PROVED.

In gratitude for complete relief
from aches and pains of bad backs
from distressing kidney ills-thou-

Doan's Kidney Pills. Residents of
this vicinity who so testified years ago
now say the results were permanent.
This testimony doubly proves the

Mrs. John Macmillan, SOC W. Wat

public statement gave two years ago
recommending Doan's Kidney Pills
was entirely correct. This remedy
was used in my home for lumbago
and kidney trouble with satisfactory
results. l can now add that since
then have taken Doans Kidney Pills

FAREWELL. OLD CHURCH.

Farewell, Old Structure, thou art
doomed,
Thy span of service is done;
The flower of righteousness in Thee
bloomed
When tended by Gods Son.
The minds that planned Thee,
And the hands that built Thee
Were hoping, I'm sure, to see
Thy good in Eternity.
God gave Thee Thy form
And watched over Thy flock,
He kept Thee from the storm
And guarded Thy rock;
Reared for the service of God
And used by His servants sincere
Thou hast watched the onward plod
Of His kingdom for many year
And now that Thy service is ended
God holds for Thee desire
Like that for the prophet He be-
friended
And takes Thee in His chariot of
fire."
Then. it's farewell to Thy being
AS Thy smoke enters into the cloud
Because as stand here I'm seeing
God furnished Thee even Thy
shroud.

SUGGESTS DIRECTORS
OF CONWAY DISTRICT

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
The problems now confronting the
Conway school district are mainly
financial in their nature, and the vot-
ers of the district in electing direc-
tors next Saturday ought to select
two men of the highest ability along
this line. In this connection, | de-
sire to suggest the names of 10 Frau
enthal and w. B. Hubbell. For abil-
ity to solve financial questions, |
doubt if an equal to Mr. Frauenthal
could be found in the state. He is
also progressive, interested in the
cause of education, active and ener-
getic in performing any public duty
placed upon him. Mr. Hubbell is now
successfully handling the largest in
vestment controlled by any educa-
tional institution in the state, the
Hendrix College endowment fund,
and his financial ability is unques-
toned. He is deeply interested in the
welfare of the Conway public school,
and as it's superintendent probably
gave more universal satisfaction than
anyone who has ever held the posi-
ton. Neither of these men has any
axe to grind, and if they could be per
suaded to accept the position of di-
rector, the district would be fortu-
nate indeed in securing their services.

LIGHTNING BURNS
EPISCOPAL CHURCH
LANDMARK Is DESTROYED
EDIFICE WAS BUILT BY LOCAL
METHODISTS NEARY THIR-
TY YEARS AGO.
From Fridry's Daily.

From Fridry's Daily.
Struck by lightning about 4:30
o'clock this morning, St Marks Epis-
copal church, built by Conway Meth
odists nearly 80 years ago, was de-
stroyed by fire three hours later. A
bolt of lightning ignited the tip of the
spire, and on account of inadequate
water pressure, the flame could not be
reached. The blaze was very small,
however. and at times appeared to be
extinguished After Intellectual at
tempts to ext;nguish the fire, the
crowd which had assembled when the
alarm was given dispersed, and the
blaze gained Roadway so slowly that
it was thought sufficient pressure
would be on the water mains in ample
time to throw stream to the steeple.
In the meantime, however, falling en-
beers ignited the cupola, and about
7:45 o'clock the flames burst through
the roof, the building being rapidly
destroyed. Too late to be of any SER
vice in saving the church, sufficient
water was pumped into the mains to
avert spread Of the fire to adjacent
buildings.
The church was one Of the land
marks of the city and at the time of
its erection was considered very
handsome house of worship. The
movement to build it began in 1888,
but the church was not completed I'M
I'll 1884, the work of construction be-
ing done during the pastorate of Rev.
u. H. Hall, who is well remembered
by many of the older citizens. When
the present Methodist church was
built about IL years ago, the house
was sold to the Episcopal congrega-
ton. For time the latter held regu-
lar services, but the membership here
has diminished to such an extent that
services have been held only at irreg-
ular intervals during recent years,
The last being by Bishop Winchester
in February, 1912. 1t is thought
that no insurance was carried on the
building.
Immediately after the fire this
morning, the cornerstone was opened,
but to the great disappointment of
those interested in the matter, the
contents were found to have been al
most entirely decayed. The cavity in
which they were placed had evidently
not been made air AMI waterproof and
only a few indecipherable fragments
of papers and portion of the binding
of "a bible remained. There were also
two COINS, one a quarter dollar dated
1857, and the other a French coin
about the size of dollar, dated 1917.
