WOODMEN AWAIT
FINAL DECISION |
Charges of Policies to Be
sT5e "a aE =.
Based on Those Prevail
ing Before Advance.

At Rock Island 1t has been officially
announced by the Modern Woodmen
OF America that pending the final
disposition of the rate question in the
last court of appeal the old rates of the
society will obtain and that no more
policies under the new rates will be
issued.
The decree from Judge Shirley in the
circuit court of Sangamon county,
restraining the society from doing
business under the new rate plan made
it necessary that the old rates be APP
piled.
The head officers assure the men,
bers that pending the final settlement
of the controversy an equitable rate
will prevail for all members of uncer-
tain status and that no further effort
will be made to force the collection of
the new rates until their legality is
finally decided upon in the Supreme
court.

URGES NEW BRIDGE
At MERRIMACK
Peter Richards Thinks Pro
posed Structure Should
Be in New Location.

The last issue of the Lodi Enterprise
contains an article from the pen of
Peter Richards, formerly of Baraboo,
in which he urges the building of the
proposed free bridge across the Wis
consin river at Merlin ack instead of
Prairie du Sac. At the last meeting
Of the Columbia county board of
Supervisors q resolution was pre-
sented by the West Point representa-
tive asking that the toll bridge at
Prairie du Sac be abandoned and a
new, free bridge be established. There
is bridge at Sank City, a mile below
Prairie du Sac, AMI Mr.. Richards
thinks the honors should be divided
with MeTrimack, since there is no
structure to cross the river between
Prairie du Sac and Portage. Merri-
mack is the logical place and the inn
provement would be of great advan-
tage to the people of Columbia and
Sank counties. He says that because
there is no bridge al Merrimack all OF
the tourists advOid Lodi and by build
ing the bridge in new location it
would place Lodi on the map for thuse
travelling between B TabOo and Mali
son. Then, too, it would be just AS
near for the residents of Clifton to
journey to Baraboo by Merrimack as
any other way, be AYERS. No doubt
his proposition will meet with serious
consideration.

heavy HITTERS ARE
IN A BIG DEMAND
Big League Managers Are At
er Smuggling Type OF
Players.

Chicago. Special: Baseball seems
destined to return back to old time
smuggling days. Sparkling fielding is
very fine and exhilarating, but when
the players combine perfect work with
a weakness in batting the spectators
are apt to become irritated.
Give us men who can slug the ball,
to thunder with the inside ball, seems
to be the cry Of the day. Heine Zim-
norman has made a tremendous hit In
Chicago because he slams out safe
swats frequently. Jimmy isn't the
most accurate fielder in the business;
in fact, has a tendency towards slow
little shortstop named Groh who can
easily be tricked into making bone
headed plays. but he hits the ball hard.
The result is McGraw has kept him
and will doubtless give him a perman-
ent place just because he can hit.
No longer are the White Sox called
the hitless wonders. In bygone days
they gave remark able exhibitions In
the playing end. but the fans shud-
dered when any of them came to bat.
For they expected either a dinky
grounder or a pop fly. Today things
are different. Bodie, Collins. Fournier.
Mattick all slug the ball, and slug 'er
hard. This fellow Fournier doesn't
play especially good at first base-he is
rather weak behind the bat. But he
can hit that ball. and he is kept while
such splendid felders as Tex" Jones,
Charley Mullen and Babe Borton were
sent back to the Western league.
Powerful Attack Paramount.
Hughie Jennings. of the Detroit IT.
gers, has had the right idea all along.
1t was the same idea thai made the
Baltimore Orioles famous long ago.

player had been an idol. But he struck
a slump and in several days had failed
to get a hit. This day he came up
three times with men on the bases and
a pinch hit needed, and each time he
either struck out or popped an easy
fly. The bleachers had been Raging
him all day. Finally, toward the end
or the game. he came up again in the
pinch. The crowd Missed him and
cried for some one that could deliver
the goods.

and modification on a%nybody's face.
Two weeks before he would have been
willing to fly into my face on the
slightest provocation. Now he was as
meek as a babe. He missed a couple

has told me since that my rejoinder

He wouldn't have made much Of an
umpire. An umpire has to stand the
gaff. He has no comeback. When the
game is over he must lay aside with
it all the petty cares. trials and trou-
bles that it developed. 1t would never
do for AN a-biter to store up for an
athlete. For the official that takes ad-
vantage of his position to even a
grudge is as good as lost.

I do not believe in dead baseball.
But no objection should be %ungentle-

national pastime.
AS to the folly of "grandstand" UNI
piring. just a word. Once a writer in
Baltimore said to me after the game:
| well. Tom. you gave the other fellows
all the close ones"
I didn't know him at the time. I
was n jaded. and I gave
him the call of his life. Next day he
roasted me a whole column. You see.

/ cision. Next afternoon this writer
went into h Baltimore club house
looking for news. The entire Oriole
outfit leaped him and gave Linn a pam
niEg. They told him I had umpired
one of the best games of my career.
| Next morning this writer came out
with another column. a column Of apol-
ogy. and this he also mailed me.
