Editor The Courier:

Editor, The Courier:
have been very much interested In
your editorials with reference to the
proposed $2,O0O,000 purchase Of fifty.
Fix acres of the city of Des Moines ad-
Joining the capitol grounds, voted by
the last general assembly. Now we
are all proud of Iowa and of our cap
ftal city. Also we citizens of Wapello
county are proud Of our county and OF
our county seat city, as ] believe the
citizens in each and every county arc
and ough. to be. But do not believe
there is citizen in Wapello county so
degenerate as to violate the spirit Of
the constitution, If not technically, In
order to beautify the grounds around
our beautiful court house. But taking
it on the basis of equal proportion, we
could with the same propriety ask for
IN appropriation of 100000 to buy
fourteen acres of the city Of Ottumwa
adjoining our court house property and
other appropriations to follow to make
q beautiful park in which the citizens
of Ottumwa could recline in real lux
ury and we farmers could at least see
It once or twice year. !
The claim made by the Des Moines
papers that those who oppose the ap-
preparation were jealous Of Des Moines
brought the above thought to my mind.
why not If a perpetual burden of taxa
ton is to be placed on us for luxury
and the same cannot be avoided, why
should not each county In the state
feel that it wanted it's true proportion
as it will surely have to pay It's pro
rata of the buying, improving and to
maintain said pleasure resort solely for
Des Moines, when very large per cent
of the taxpayers could not in all prob
ability ever enjoy the same, with pos
sibly some fancy speculation by those
who are the present owners of tho
property and the promoters Of the
scheme. Now do not believe that the
taxpayers of the state would consent
to invest their money in the embellish
ment of Des Moines If allowed a vote
on the proposition as contemplated In
the state constitution. When there Is
not a possibility Of any real value to
the state to be derived from 1T, when
there is SO great a need for money to
improve our public roads, water ways
J and water power possibilities. All Of
which must be abandoned If we are to
be taxed to the limit without our con-
sent in order to enrich and beauty

Of last year, but he has driven in
more runs this season than in 1912.
Effectiveness in batting is what
counts. Hitting with the bases empty
wins few ball games.
Lord is stronger than Zim on balls
hit straight at him, but the German
can cover more ground travelling to
his left. Lord excels on smashes close
to the bag. In throwing Zim uses
trifle more speed, but Harry usually
manages to get the pill to Chase in
plenty of time. Zim is more liable to
make a wild throw than Lord.
Lord is captain of the Sox, just as
his third-base rival leads the Cubs.
The former Bostonese is another ball
player who does not receive full
credit for his stellar work. A great
deal of his value does not show in the
mechanical end of the game. Harry
has brains and the judgment to apply
them correctly. ........
His batting average is not top
heavy but Lord is a dangerous,
smashing batter, with a world of con-
fidence in the pinch. He is liable to
bust a game any time with one of his
copyrighted drives to right field, and
the Cub park should be a proper set
ting for some of those wallops.
In the baserunning department
Lord outclasses Zimmerman. He
steals oftener and also uses better
judgment when going from base to
base on a hit or infeld out
Jumping the accomplishments of
the two men, zim is preferred be-
cause of his batting. The fellow who
can bang the pill is what the man.
ayers want. The rival captains are
about on a par in the fielding end,
and Lord has the call on baserunning
and also in the brain department.

When he connects with the pill it
whistles through the infeld and
would do into the next county if it
wasn't for the gardeners. When he
does get some elevation on his drives
the outfelders usually stand and
watch the ball clear the fence.
Because of his remarkable hitting
Bakers fielding is practically over
looked, but he is no plodding dub in
this speciality, nor is he a SLOUGH of
baserunner. In these last two de-
partments Shafer, who will probably
be McGraw's entry, has the call,
though the margin on fielding is light
On the bases, however, Shafer has
clear lead. He is remarkably fast
man, goes into a base well, hooks
neatly with his feet, and is on his feet
almost as soon as he strikes the bag,
up and ready to go another ninety
feet if the man handling the throw
has made a slip.
Shafer is strong batter, ranging
near the l290 point, but is not in Bak-
er's class at this angle.

bench unless one of the Giant infield-
ers meets with an accident. He was
the star of last years worlds series
and his bat was the factor that kept
the Giants in the hunt until the tenth
inning of the eighth game. At that,
he is not as good as Shafer and close
ly resembles Baker in his fielding and
baserunning. To anyone who remem-
bers Herzog's work last fall, Skaters
ability can best be explained by say
ing Herzog will be on the side lines.
At the third corner the Mackmen
are preferred. Baker is the hardest
batter on either team, a strong fielder
and fair baserunner. Shafer is better
than the average with the bat, a
sensational fielder, though liable TO
slip ON easy chances through over
anxiousness, and clever basefiln-
ner. Baker has been in a couple of
