COBB PLAYING EIGHT
 YEARS WITH TIGER TEAM

Speaking of anniversaries, Ty Cobb has been a member of the Detroit team for eight years, but it seems much longer to the pitchers of the Ameri- can league, who have vainly been try ing to ascertain if the Georgia Peach has any weaknesses while at the bat.
 Tyrus played his first game with Detroit on August 30, 1905 and the Yankees, then in the swim, were Cobb's opponents. Happy Jack Chee- bro, a. profuse splitter, was on the slab for New York, and Cobb kncked the saliva off one of Happy Jacks slants for a double.
 It seems incredible, yet in 1907 De- troit offered to trade Cobb to C1eve- land for Flick, which offer was 1p urn ed by Cleveland.
 It is also on record that Con struthers, manager of the Augusta, Ga, team, tied can to Tyrus in 1904 after a days trial. MT Cobb is now in his 27th' year, and he figures he has about thirteen years of .35O hit ting up his sleeve.

 PITCHING BEATS
 MERIDEN IN FINAL
(By Wagner)

You know what General Sherman said about war. We'll, that's what Meriden said about General sherman after Bridgeport's new hurler had wrecked the taiIenders in the second section of a double header. Sherman, who is stocky of build and wears his plug cut in his right cheek, put some thing on that ball. He allowed only five hits, famed seven and gave two passes. He comes from Rutland, Vt, and is proud of it. At the finish the score was Bridgeport 5, Meriden g. Enc night cap is mentioned first because Bridgeport lost the opener by to l.
 In the second game the locals were up against Paddy Green, whose right name is Eugene Grenier. They slam med Green for 14 safeties, Bob Stow and Monahan leading with three each King Brady, Silzar and Batch had two apiece. Meriden was ahead by to 1 until the seventh when singles by Stow and Bowman, Batch's clout to right and Monahan's triple to cen ter produced three runs. It was cinch after that. The score:

1894-Jack Dempsey and "Austra1- ian Billy McCarty fought 2O-round draw at New Orleans. The Non pareil," deprived of the midd1eweight title by F7itzsimmons, broken in spirit and with the raVages of consumption already manifesting themselves in shrunken face and emaciated body, was a pitiful spectacle, but he fought so ferociously and used his little re- maining strength to such advantage that he earned a, draw. In the eigh- teenth round the Australian tried the pivot blow, but Dempsey, always in deadly fear of that punch since La Blanche had knocked him out with it, was on the alert and it did not connect. In a previous bout at San Francisco in 1890 Dempsey defeated the Australian by a knockout in the 18th round.

 The New Haven club is up in the air over Umpire Doherty's action yes terday in refusing to forfeit the sec ond game of the double header to the champions after Springfield had left the field. Owner Cameron of New Ha- ven said Doherty was asked to forfeit the game Or else go before the crowd and annouce that the second game was off on account of darkness. Do herty refused to do anything and thereby got Cameron in bad with the fans.
 In his report to President O'Rourke, Doherty says he went to his dressing room to rest few minutes after the 15 inning battle While he was there Springfield left the grounds. The uTn- pire didn't think it proper for Spring field to quit. There's where he made his mistake. He should have been on the job to warn Springfield not to leave the field under penalty of for feiture. Then if the Ponies went he could have forfeited the contest. He says it was 5:25 when the first bat tie ended and not more than two additional innings could have been played. In that case he should have ordered two innings played and then could have called the game if dark ness prevented further action. Presi- dent O'Rourke is very much incensed at the umpire's failure to do the right thing.
 The Boston Nationals will be at New field park Sunday to tackle Bridge port in the last game of the local sea- son. It will be the final chance of the fans to see the Crossmen in ac- ton and a large crowd will probably

THE WORK OF PARISH VISITORS

Strengthening out matrimonial entan-
clements, instructing the poor and
saving the little ones to the faith To
what extent her services would be
valuable in any parish is a question
for each pastor to answer. The pre-
sumption is that in the great majority
of cases the answer would be in the
affirmative.
In this connection it is not uninter-
esting to refer to local conditions in
order that our readers may be made
aware of what is being done in the
city of ST. Paul in the line of lay
missionary work.
Parish Vigilance Committee.
Before entering into details it may
be well to refer briefly to what was
said on this very important matter
at the last National Conference
of Catholic Charities. The read
ing of a paper on the causes of
delinquency brought about a very
earnest discussion regarding the best
means of preventing delinquency.
The good to be done by lay men and
women in both prevention and reform
was admitted by all. Rev. Michael J.
Scanlan, Director of the Catholic
Charitable Bureau, Boston, presented
a clearly-defined plan for the forma-
ton of a Parish Vigilance Commit
tee" that would engage the best par
ishioners in work conducive to the
spiritual betterment of children of
careless and unworthy parents. The
writer's of articles prepared subse-
quent to this Conference cannot, there
fore, be said to have originated the
idea Of utilizing Catholic women as
parish visitors.
The parish visitor and the good she
can accomplish is not merely possi-
bility in the city of st. Paul. She is
at work here and has been securing
desired results for nearly two years.
That the local plan is practical one
will be evident to all from simple
presentation of applied methods. Com
parison between results obtained in
ST. Paul and results achieved in
larger cities justifies continuance
of the methods employed.
Guild Of Catholic Women.
The Guild of Catholic Women, our
leading charitable society, began its
existence on December 8, 1906.
Quietly its members went about Civ
ing relief to the needy, and steadily
it gathered strength until it has be-
come the most powerful organization
of it's kind in cities of the size of St.
Paul From small beginnings with it's
twenty-five members it has grown to
be society of nearly eight hundred.
Its revenue has more than kept pace
with increase of members. The Guild
was yet young when its promoters
realized that there were other very
important things to do besides feed
ing the hungry and providing house
for the homeless.

ALTAR AGAIN ERECTED
First Mass Since Reformation Said in
Ancient Queenborough.

Mass was said recently for the first
time since the Reformation in the
ancient town of Queenborough in the
Isle of sheppey. A few years ago
there were only few scattered
Catholics in this district, but with the
recent growth of industry the Catho-
lie community has risen to the num-
Der of forty-eight.
The number of Catholics assembled
was sufficient to encourage the clergy
of Sheerness to decide upon a regu-
lar monthly Mass. Father Redmond
sought to bring home to his little con-
gregation the significance of the
event. It was indeed striking in
stance of the vitality of the Church
that having been. driven out of this
town and island so many years ago,
she should reappear.
The last Mass in Queenborough
was beyond doubt offered up in the
beautiful old parish church now no
longer Catholic.

JESUIT WRITER DEAD
Father Gerard Made Many Contribu-
tions to Controversial Literature.

By the death of Rev. John Gerard
13, the English province of the Society
of Jesus lost one of it's most distin-
guished members and the Catholic
body in general a valiant champion the
productions of whose vigorous pen
will remain for many years as power
full weapons in repelling the assaults
of pseudo-scientists upon Christianity
and of bigots upon the dogmas and
teachings of the Church of which he
was an honored member.
Born in May, 1910, Father Gerard
was the eldest son of Colonel Archi-
bald Gerard and4a brother Of the late
General Sir Montagu Gerard, K. C. b.,
who died while acting as British
Attache with the Russian army during
the Russo-Japanese war. Colonel
Archibald withdrew in 1848 from the
Scottish Episcopalian communion, and
became a Catholic, his boys being
sent for their education to Stonyhurst.
1t was at Stonyhurst that John decided
to join the Jesuit Order, and he was
subsequently, from 1879 to 1893, pre-
feet of studies there.
In 1893 Father Gerard was called to
London to assume editorship of the
Month" and after retaining the posi-
ton for four years he temporarily
vacated it from 1897 to 1900, when he
was appointed provincial Of the So
ciety of Jesus in England and Scot
land
The literary productions of Father
Gerard have stamped him as being a
vigorous controversialist. "The Old
Riddle and the Newest Answer" Tin
reply to Professor HaeckeD being, per
haps, his most noteworthy contribu-
tion to controversial literature. He
was the author of numerous valuable
