The Caucasian. (Shreveport, La.) 1900-192?, 1912-12-05
About To Be DfDOsed

As reported from Baton Rouge
AdOlph Dunser, a commissioner of
the port of New Orleans, has been
advised of his removal from office
by Governor Hall. This action of
the Governor is being resisted by
the friends of Mr. Dunser. The ST.
gar Exchange has registered its pro-
test against Dunser's removal. while
other commercial interests are
more or less opposed to this action
Iot the executive,
1t is probably not good policy 10
remove Mr. Dunser. who is credited
with ability and efficiency. but it is
certain the Governor will neither be
|intimidated nor persuaded by any
radical course which may be dictal- =
ed or suggested by any commercial
body Or any number of citizens Of
| New Orleans.
Instead Of going into Spasm or
"a fit, the citizens interested in the
retention of Mr.. Dunser as COM
missioner of the port of New Or
leans. should have named COM
mittee of one or two or three to in
tervieW the Governor and give him
such reasons as would have been
effective in behalf of Mr.. Dunser
The Sugar Exchange and others
having unnecessarily aggravated the
situation, the Governor may follow
his own inclination in the removal
of Mr.. Dunser.
Here Is another example Of the
individual holding fiat job" re-
sisting removal With very rare ex-
lceptions the long feeders at the
public crib never resign and sell
dom die. And when dead. the feed
ing is assumed by some Of the kim
dred of the official as an inheritance
lfrom the State.

The GrniIt Case.

The case of NJ. L. Grout was
called for trial this morning in the
District Court, Judge Bell, for man
slaughter.
The jury comprises Leroy Crisp
w. M. Fortner, s. D. Zylke, j. NJ. Bu-
vens, J. P. Rodgers. J. H. Thurmond
|P. D. Voisin, Geo. D. Wray, J. A
Frazer, J. J. Hsmiter. r. E. L. Huek-
ably and j. J. Van Cleve.
The substance Of the evidence is
that when in Fred Henderson's res
taurant in All City recently, he was
driven out by Henderson, who be-
lieved that Grout was trying to en-
|tice boy, an orphan, from his
place. When they reached the out
side Henderson was striking Grou
with a stick. As Grout stepped from
the porch bis grip fell to the ground
and opened. In his grip he had
pistil, with which he shot Hender-
son, who died at the sanitarium ir
Shreveport.
Attorney Lichtenstein is repre-.
senting Grout, while District Attor,
ney Foster appears for the State.
AT $3.50 o'clock the jury had no
agreed on a verdict.

Fidelity Camp WGOdmen Of the

Fidelity Camp Woodmen of the
World held their annual election Of
officers last night. The elected are
Andrew Stewart, commander: C.. b.

bert, banker; F. C. Reinhart, clerk
w. r. Fory. escort: W. A. Sanford,
watchman; J. r. Mitchell, sentry;
F. J. Latter, J. w. Cronk and J. E.
Howe, board of managers.
Following the election, the al
tendants, including the visitors
we're entertained to luncheon. The
social programme was interspersed
with remarks becoming the occa-
sion. Cold water was the beverage.
1t Is by the token of pure water that
the members are pledged to this Or
der. In pure water there is no lurk-
ins foe that robs man of his reason,
and in the words of Ingersoll in his
lperoration on whiskey, that breaks
the fathers heart, bereaves
the doting mother, extinguishes nat
lural affection, erases conjugal love,
IDIOTS out filial attachments, blights

ling age in sorrow to the grave"
In their refreshments with pure
water, the expressions voiced by the
lspeakrs were not stimulated by in
toxicants but were heartfelt and

CURLEY TOUIS
FLYNN TO Win

lBy United Press Leased Wire,
ALBUQUERQUE, N. M, Feb.
12.-Prediction that Jim Flynn,
the Pueblo fireman, would dispose
of Champion Jack Johnson by a
Knockout in their July battle was
made here by Jack Curley,
manager of Flynn. Curley, who
Is promoting the affair, declared
that business men of Las Vegas
had offered him 100000 to stage
the bout there.
FLYNN has won IL straight
fights and has disposed of every
heavyweight of importance except
Johnson" Curley said.
Flynn is a wonderfully i'm.
proved fighter. and he will entei
the ring against the negro weigh
ing nearly 200 pounds.
IT do not believe Johnson would
fight IL he could get out of it,
but he must do so to maintain his
reputation, which is earning him
$4,000 weekly"

BY BILLY EVANS.

Variety of attack is essential to
club that lands high in PEN
nant race. Teams dependin &
wholly on one style of play, are
soon out of the running. The
team that mixes them gets results.
Speed is valuable, but often
speed Is wasted without bringing
the desired results. Let some lead
ers get a fast team and they de-
eide such a team should steal its
way, literally speaking, into the
first division, but it Is difficult.
A fast team has many oppor-
tunities to steal, sacrifice or play
the hit and run effectively. When
catchers yealize a manager favors
base stealing they invariably call
for two and sometimes three
waste balls, hoping to pick the
runner off at second and usually
they are successful.
Any number of teams play for
the run. When a man reaches
first the sacrifice is always used.
1t is only a matter of time before
the opposition gets wise to this
and practically certain the sacri-
flee will be attempted. they so
shift their positions that a defense
is built that forces out the man
at second more often than he is
advanced safely. When the pitch
ing is air tight, and one run looms
up as 'fbig as a mountain" the sac
rifice is a grand play. Its value
can be worn out by it's continual
use.
The successful club mixes
things up. The pilfering game is
worked one inning, the hit and
run the next and then the sacri-
fee. Such club has the opposi-
tion on the defensive. Never
knowing what is coming the play
ers are on the anxious seat. Often
a feint Is made to bunt on the
first ball. The fielder comes rush
ing in on the next pitch, c.ily to
see the ball speed past him mile
a minute. A variety of attack
means doing the unexpected and
it is such a system that gets the
best results.
