Topeka, Dec. Ex-Governor w.
r. Stubs has set Monday, Decem-

on that date expects to hear an un-
usually large number Of applications
for parole for convicts in Kansas
penal institutions. Such paroles
as are granted will go to the con-
victs as Christmas presents from the
Kansas executive.
For years it has been customary
to grant pardons to deserving con-
victs on Christmas day. Governor
Stubs, however, has abolished the
pardon system and has confined his
work to paroles. In such cases az
he believes are worthy, he will issue
paroles. Plans have been made to
hear number Of applications fol-
executive clemency and these hear
ings will probably consume the
greater portion of the day specially
set aside for the work.

HOPE COUNCILMBN :

Electricity u Up.

HerIngton. Dec. sl.-w. H. Koch,
John Ketchersid and A. J. Dsyhoff.
representing the city council Of Hope
conferred with the city council Of
Harrington Monday night at the city
hall to discuss the electric light
proposition. Both sides stood pat.
and Hope insists upon being con-
fronted with figures.
The city OF Hope has been secur-
ing it's electricity from the Herring
ton plant and according to the com
tract the rate that Hope Is now pay
ing may be increased II the cost OF
production increases q certain per
cent. Herington claims that It is
now costing more to furnish the
Juice" than when the contract was
made and thinks It is entitled to at
least raise the rate one cent per kilo-
wat. Hope stood pat and demand
ed that they be shown that 1t costs
the city of Harrington more to pro-
duce the electricity.
1t has been decided that experts
be called to figure up the exact cost
Of producing each kilowat and when
this is done the figures will be pre-
sented to the city Of Hope. There
are no hard feelings between the
two cities and 1t 10 thought that the
little difference can be settled sat
isfactorily to all concerned.

GOV. TENER LOVES BASEBALL
Chief Executive of Pennsylvania Re.
tains Admiration for Game and
His Old Associates.

There is nothing more wholesome
than to see a ball player retire from
the profession, make his mark in the
political world and. still retain his sim
cere love for the old game and his
comrades. Such a man is John K.
Tener, the present governor of Penn
,sylvania, whose life has been in the
light of a romance.
John Tener came to this country
from County Tyrone, Ireland. fully
grown up, we'll educated and deter
mined to make his mark. He is well
over six feet in height, has a smooth
temper and the knack of making
friends. 1t was Justice Moody Of the
Supreme bench, who induced John
Tener to go to Haverhill, Mass. to
play ball, from where he drifted to
Chicago and hooked up with A. G..
Spalding. Mr.. Tener held up his end
as a great pitcher and was one Of the
party to make the trip around the
world with Spalding in 1889, Mr.. Ten
er acting as secretary as well as play
ing ball.
With influential friends to back him,
John Tener gave up the game he loved
to go into active business life at Pitts
burg, and soon became a successful
banker. He was then sent to congress,
where he was constant visitor at the
games, and finally landed in the ex-

shows how scouts can go wrong in
their Judgment and how the best OF
judges often go astray.
Indianapolis is the club that owned
Alexander and O'Toole and O'Brlen.
w. H. Watkins, who gave Detroit It's
world championship team, is the own
er of the Indianapolis team. Charley
Carr, who played in the big leagues,
at one time for Detroit, and manager
of the Kansas City team in the asso-
citation this year, was manager OF the
Indianapolis club Eoth Carr and wat
kins looked these three pitchers over
thoroughly and passed them up. They
brought draft prices which totaled
$3.50.
These valuable players, among 9TH
ers. were wandering around in the
bushes" for several years before they
drew any serious attention from any OF
the prominent major league clubs.
And then, with the exception OF
O'Toole, they did not develop until
they were launched in the major
leagues.

Grover Cleveland Alexander, Buck
O'Brien and Marty O'Toole were pitch
ing sensations OF 1911. Two of these
"phenoms" are in the National and
one is in the American league. The
Phillies own Alexander, the Boston
Red Sox own O'Brien and the much
advertised Mr.. O'Toole belongs to Bar
ney Dreyfus of Pittsburg.
Now, what would big league owner
give for the three? If 1t were posi-
BILE to get the three on one team, what
price would that club offer?
President Frank J. Navin of the
Tigers was asked. His reply in brief
was:
"One hundred thousand cash."
Not long ago these three pitchers
belonged to one club. This club sold
them all and the total sum received
for the trio was $3.50. The difference
that just few seasons make is $99,-
$50, which is pretty fair rate of in
crease in valuation.

PAT DoUGHERTY QUITS GAME
Veteran Outfielder of White Sox and
Well Known Among Baseball
Fans, Finally Retires.

Pat Dougherty, veteran outf1elder OF
the Chicago White Sox baseball team
and one of the best known characters
in the game, has quit baseball for all
time, according to an announcement
given out at Chicago. Dougherty S
retirement was announced in per-
sonal letter received by President
Comiskey and was no surprise to the
old Roman, who had expected it, as he
had intimation of his veteran outfeld-
er's intention to retire from play.
President Comiskey was deeply af-
fected by Dougherty's letter announc-
ing his farewell. In way it set
precedent to recent years. The White
Sox chief says the epistle from the
player is one of the most remarkable
he has received from a ball player IN
his whole career in baseball.
Dougherty told President Comiskey
that he realized he had only a year or
more left at the most to play in the
big leagues and that he preferred to
retire voluntarily than, to be forced to
quit on account of age. He added that
his affections still lay wrapped up
with the White Sox and that should
his services ever be needed in pinch
for the ghod of the team all the old
Roman had to do was to speak the
word and he would come on the first
train that could carry him to Chicago.
Pat Dopgherty has been one Of the
most talked about characters in base
ball in the major leagues for nearly
a decade and at different times has
been a hero of two big fandoms in
different cities. He was with the Bos-
ton Red Sox in 1908, when they won
the American league pennant.
