ABOUT BAT7ERS

"To which hitters," | have often been
asked by followers of baseball, us II
the most difficult for you to pitch?"
II Is the general impression among
baseball fans that Joseph Faversham
Tinker, the shortstop of the Chicago
Cubs, is the worst man | have to face
in the National League. Few realize
that during his first two years in the
big show Joe Tinker looked like
cripple at the plate when | was pitch
ing. His groove" was a slow curve
over the outside corner, and fed
him slow curves over that very out
side corner with great regularity.
Then suddenly, overnight, he be-
came the most dangerous batter in
the league, from my point of view.
Tinker is clever ball player and
one day I struck him out three times
Ia succession with low curves over
the outside corner. Instead of getting
disguised with himself, he began to
think and reason. He knew that |
was feeding min that low curve over
the outside corner and he STARTED to
look for an autidote. He had always
taken short, choppy swing at the
ball when he went to the club
house after the game in which he
struck out three times he was quiet,

putting on his last sock when he
clapped his hand on his leg and cX-
claimed:

Tinker by way of conclusion, as he
took his diamond ring from the train
or and left the clubhouse.

{ Of GOLF
BY "'l'."

by ST."
To fight and conquer n weakness
makes man better able to help one
who faces the same problem. This is
as true in golf as in anything else,
and in the London Daily Telegraph
we find Horace Hutchinson advocat-
ing this very theory. There is some
thing most encouraging in the thought
that IL we employ the capacity for
taking infinite pains" we, too, may be-
come golfing genuises and some day
reach the proud moment when we
shall hear our former weakness re-
ferred to as one of our strong points.
Infinite is big word and may beat
the most of us, but after all you never
can tell, you may be one of the ia
vored few, and in the meantime think
of the fun you are having. Besides
which you will never do anything II
you get discouraged, so cling firmly
to the theory of infinite pains and
may it prove neither painful nor too
extensive an effort for you. Hutchin-
son says:

Mock Trial is Interesting.

The Methodist Brotherhood at its
meeting on Friday evening participat-
ed in mock trial, in mock case in
which Mr.. F. w. p. Baker, alias Mar
tin Meter, was made defendant for
breach of promise. S. j. Moore acted
as attorney for the plaintiff and Roy
Fitch for the defendant. The jury
consisted of Richard Schrubbe, w. R.
Shea, E. p. Shea, George Hill, Rev.
w. F. Perry and l.. R. Morrison, and
l.. l.. Couse acted as clerk, while the
exigencies of the case required two
sheriffs, F. E. Bloomfield and John
Rooney. The examination of the wit
nesses and the arguments of the jury
were lively and forceful. and the jury
brought in verdict of $1,000 against
the defendant, who, strange to say,
refuses to pay it.

Titanic Disaster and His Co..
duct--Says Criticism, Unjust.
Says None OF Officers Nor He Knew
That Calamity Had Happened.

Liverpool, Aug. lev Stanley
Lord, who was captain of the LeyIand
Line steamer Californian at the time
of the disaster to the Titanic. by
which 1917 lives were lost, issued a
statement. today. defending his con-
duct. He declares that IL the Califor-
MAN had been the steamer sighted
from the Titanic she would also have
been sighted from the Cunard liner
Carpathia.
Captain Lord states that the stigma
cast on his character and seamanship
Is undeserved and unjust. The evil
dence, he says, is conclusive that none
of the responsible officers of the Cal
ifornia were aware that there had
been a serious calamity.
The second officer was the only one
who saw signals, so Lord declares
himself justified in relying on that Of
f1cer's judgment that the vessel sight
ed steamed eight miles between and
2 O'Clock In the morning, whereas the
Titanic did not move after midnight.
Lord says he has no recollection
of what occurred after midnight. his
officers deeming the occurrences too
unimportant to communicate to him.
That any seaman should wilfully
neglect distress signals is prepos-
ferrous and unthinkable, in the opin-
ion of Lord, who says the lack or
reply to the Morse signals from the
Californian convinced the officers OF
that vessel of the unimportance Of the
previous rockets while the fact that
the vessel reported was steaming
away was further justification.

of prohibition. Hon. A. f. Donigan
of Bingham has whitfield back and
forth, saying he believed in prohibit
ton and then saying that he didn't,
and saying that he would let the peo-
pie rule. After majority of the
people in the State and 1000 majority
in Somerset county had said that pro-

and voted for a bill for local option,

That he has lost his hold is shown in

ters stood with him. The voters said
then that was only a sample of what
they would give him in September.
