Programs for Worlds Temperance
Sunday.
November 10 will be Worlds Tenn
perance Sunday, aud Sunday schools
universally will desire to observe IL
in fitting manner. The Lincoln
Legion has prepared IA special pro-
gram of responsive readings, songs
and recitati0ns, aliOtting a special
place to the setting forth Of the
temperance teachings of the Book
of Hosea, which has been selected
as the lesson for the day. Every
feature of the program has been ar
ranged to lead up to the signing of
the Lincoln Pledge and the donning
Of the Lincoln Legion Button as IA
climax. This program will be sent
free TO the first thousand Sunday
schools ordering Pledge Day Sup
plies.
Once more we would call attention
to the Lincoln Legion's system. 1t
provides that the one who signs
shall preserve his pledge, file the
duplicate pledge in the great Ma
tional Enrolment of Pledged Abb
stainers, aud show his colors by
wearing the Lincoln Legion Button.
1t also provides for the preservation
of the names of all signers locally
by having them engrossed on a Wall
Roll, to be hung in the Sunday
school room or church.

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
DETROIT, February 2;;. = The white
hopes of the pugilistic world are hoping
that Jack Johnson will ''go back; the
Tigers are wishing the same sort OF down
fall to the Athletics pitchers.
After the grueling conflict of 1869,
when the Athletics came near snatching
the pennant from the Tigers, Jennings
athletes rested easily after the world
series and during the training season of
1910. Nothing ever looked surer for a
team than the pennant of 1910 did for
Detroit.
Mack's team was strong in 1909 because
of a superb pitching staff Bender and
Coombs and Plank were the particular
pillars of the Mackmens superb defense.
Detroit did not mind them at the begin
ming of the SCI son of 1910. Athletes, how
ever great, are like pillars in that they
will crumble and fall sooner or later. In
ball players it is often sooner. Bender
and Plank had been pitching for years
and the Tigers figured that their days of
usefulness were over, but these two
giants proved as useful to the cunning
and more They won the pennant for him
with the aid of Jack Coombs.
But Coombs is more of youngster.
Last spring Detroit gave him credit for a
fair season, but Plank and Bender-they
surely could not last the season out.
They must be ready for the minors.
They can't go on forever; their time to
fall is here" is what the Tigers said.
The belief that Bender and CoOmbs and
Plank would not be big winners for Mack
in 1911 was strengthened after the season
opened and the Athletics got away to a
bad start. Surely they We're gone-Ben-
der and Coonlbs and Plank
April and May and June passed and the
beginning of July saw them up there, big
and powerful and threatening as ever,

followed this by pitching the Philadelphia
machine into another worlds champion
ship. The athlete who painted the finish
mark on the final proceeds was that

Bender.
The close of the base ball season found
them coming instead of going. Bender
and Plank and Coombs never pitched bet
ter ball than in the world series of 1911.
Coombs met with an accident in one
game and was operated on. but surgeons
have since pronounced him physically
perfect. So Coombs can be expected to

five years, is but twenty-five years old
and still has many years of base ball be-
fore him.
1t is an actual fact that during the past
winter the Pittsburgh club. which has
been anxious to secure capable first
baseman for several years. offered to give
the New York club $1,000 for Jack
knight, deal which could not be made
because the other American League clubs
would not waive on the player. Williams
cost the New York club $500. which
means that Griffith got S12.5W worth of
playing material for Street.
incidentally it is not likely that the
catching staff has been weakened by the
trade while 1t seems certain that the in
field has been strengthened. While il
has not been definitely decided just
where knight Will be played, ii goes
without saying that he will be a regular
on the team. unless the unexpected
should happen and Griffith find even bet
ter players among his youngsters, which
is not likely.
Every now and then Charley Murphy,
the Cub owner, makes a logical sugges-
ton. and his latest anent the training
plans of his team in the future is well
worth consideration.
Murphy would send only his Youngsters
south to play exhibition games. but would
have all his seasoned players stay at home
and get in shape. He argues that be-
cause of tie overcrowded condition of the
average training camp many stars are
overlooked and not all Of them really get

BUSHAHOLD-OUT AND
INSISTS ON LARGER SALARY
Star Shortstop Of Detroit Team Wires
That 1912 Contract Is Not
Satisfactory.

DETROIT, Mich, February 23.-Donie
Bush, star shortstop, of the American
League, is a hold-out.
Since the close of the 1911 season no
word has been received from the midget,
and his failure to return his 1912 con-
tract, either signed or unsigned. along
with his refusal to communicate with
Detroit base ball officials, is, possibly,
more significant than a flow of protesting
words.
The following dispatch from Bush is
explanatory:
INDIANAPOLIS, February 21.-"I
think / ought to have more money"
said DOME, land i have asked for it..
That's all there is to it, I am not trying
to make any fuss about it and am sorry
that there is to be any publicity about the
matter. / believe there is only one way

lieve in drawing through the winter on
