Many have long since turned to
dust. / sobbed and sobbed and a
young man stepped OUT and said:

to the mission? L am sure you win

Twenty-Five years ago / turned and

dropped on my knees and gave my
heart to Jesus Christ.
/ went over to the south side of
Chicago, Joined the jefferson Park

The next day l had to go out to
the ball park and practise. Every
morning at 10 o'clock we had to be
out there and practise. / never slept

cause I had taken my stand for Jesus
Christ.
I walked down to the old ball
grounds. / will never forget 1t. I
slipped my key into the wicket gate
and the first man to meet me after /
got inside was Mike Kelly.
Kelly had a heart in him as big as

gave me words of encouragement. Up
came Arson, Pfeffer, Clarkson, Flint,
Jimmy Mccormick, Burns, William
son, Dalrymple and George Gore.
George vas the fellow hat 1 was most
afraid of. He came up to me and I
saw a tear glisten in his eyes, and I
knew 1 had his sympathy and a great
load rolled off his shoulders. There
wasn't a fellow in that gang who
knocked; every fellow had a word Of
encouragement for me.
John cIarkson.
The afternoon we played the old
Detroit club. We were neck and neck
for the championship. That club had
Thompson. Richardson, Rowe, Dun
lap, Hanlon, Brouthers, Deacon White
and Bennett, and they could play ball.
/ I was playing right field and John
Clarkson was pitching. He was as
fine a pitcher as ever crawled into a
uniform.
Clarson died in an insane asylum.
What put him there? Cigarettes.
l have seen him smoke twelve to
fifteen boxes a day. and when he
crawled out Of the baths at Hot
Springs 1 have seen the nicotine that
thick on the water, and it is because
of those cigarettes that John went in
sane. We had the Detroit club beat
3 to 2 at the last half Of the ninth in
ming.
We had two men out and they had
a man on second and one on third
and Bennett, their old catcher. was al
the bat. Charley had three balls and
two strikes on him. Charley couldn't
high ball, but he could kill them when
they ven about his knees.
l hollered to John and said:
"You know, keep her up and we
have got EN-"
You know every pitcher digs a hole
in the ground where he puts his foot
when he is pitching. John struck his
foot in the hole and he went clear
down to the ground. oh, he could
make them dance. He could throw
over-handed and the ball would go
down and up like that. He is the
only man on earth / have ever seer
do that. John went clear down and
as he went to throw the ball his right
foot sliDped and the hall went tou,

to try to save you and them from
d~anlnation. =
The spawn Of hell banks at my
heels from one end of the land to the
other. The open saloon is the hot
bed of political corruption and the
breeding place of criminals; the nest
of anarchy, and the incubator Of pow
erty, misery, squaIor, want, dishon-
esty and all that is vile.
I've been through blood and fire for
Jesus Christ and when some of the
preachers stop preaching about the
new Jerusalem and start preaching
against the whisky soaks and the red
light districts in these cities some
thing is going to happen.
You Methodists can talk about in
FAINT baptism and the Presbyterian
can howl about perseverance and hall
of the members will persevere in hell
and the Baptists can howl about
water and a half of your members
Ego where 0 can't get a drop.
I'm going to skin them, and when
| die you can take old Bills carcass
and drop him off the bridge and
when the muddy water of the Red
river rolls Over it you will say There
goes a man who wasn't afraid to
preach the truth to u.s.
You say you can't prohibit men
drinking. If Jesus Christ lived in
Fargo men would booze fight. men
would sidestep. But when you say
you can't enforce laws, you lie.
Can Enforce Law.
You can enforce the laws against
booze as much as against anything
else If you have honest officials to do
it.
There is not a law in the United
States which prohibits. There is a
law against murder, but does it pro-
hibit? No.
Would you advocate a repeal Of all
the laws because they do not pro-
hibit? No. You wouldn't let a man
murder anyone he wanted to by pay
ing a license Of $1,000; or for $500
ruin any girl over 16 years Of age:
orr for $3.50 seduce young girls; or
for 5000 license him to crack any
safe; or for $50 license him to burn
buildings. That's what you do with
the whisky gang.
There is only one man I ever knew
Of who was benefited by drink. He
was digging a well and left the well
to go to a saloon to get a drink.
While he was gone the well caved
in and his life was saved.

their superior never was.
We played all season with eleven
men.
We had only two pitchers, Clarkson
and Mccormick, and 1 will tell you
these eleven men used to play ball.
One time twenty-five years ago ]
walked down a street in Chicago in
company with some ball players who
were famous in this world, some OF
them are dead now, and we went into
a saloon. 1t was Sunday afternoon
and we bowled up. We walked on
down the street to the corner where
Siegel & Cooper's store is now. 1t
vas a vacant lot at hat time. We
sat down on the curbing. Across the
street a company Of men and women
were playing on Recommendations
flutes and slide trombones-and the
others were singing the gospel hymns
that 1 used to hear my mother sing
back in the log cabin in Iowa, and
back in the old church where I used
to go to Sunday school.
