CULBERS0N ILL.,;
DEMOCRATS WORRIED
Absence Of Senator May Affect
the Tariff Majority.

Washington, Aug. 14.-Democratic
worry over the probable fate of the
tariff bill was increased by news of the
illness of Senator Culberson, of Texas.
The possibility that the appointment
of Clayton to succeed Senator John
ston, of Alabama, would be opposed
and broadside attack on the bill in
the senate by champions of the farm
ers' rights ddded to the uneasiness OF
the majority.
With a margin of only two votes in
favor of the tariff bill before Senator
Johnston's death, the Democratic
leaders are apprehensive of the recent
turn of events.
Discussion of the agricultural SEIZED
ule and the proposed free listing Of
wheat in particular enlivened the
tariff discussion in the senate, Sena-
ton Gronna. of North Dakota, propos-
ing in lieu Of free wheat duty of six
cents a bushel
That the Democrats are treating the
farmer unfairly was maintained by
Senators Gronna. Clapp, Bristow,
Smoot, Sherman and others who par
ricipated in the prolonged debate on
wheat. Senator Williams, in charge of
the agricultural schedule, and Senator
ShWely, of Indiana, defended the pur-
pose of the Democrats to put wheat-sla-
the free list. Against the argument of
unfair discrimination for the farmer
made by the Republicans, they placed
the assertion that never was there a
greater "humbug" than the Republi-
can claim of protection for the farmer.

ngure. He d1u not look over eighteen
years old, but that was about the aver
age age Of either team. Kinsey tossed
him the ball, which seemed to go to
him as if he held magnet in his
palm, and the game began.
It does not come within the scope of
this story to give detailed account Of
the struggle for the championship be-
tween the Hilton and Ferncliffe teams.
1t was closely contested from the start
At first the Ferncliffe's pitcher seemed
to be very nervous and made some bad
breaks KinSey was watching him
closely and now and again spoke to
him encouragingly. Reassured, he
went on with his work and before the
third inning began to show himself a
first class twirler Indeed before the
game was finished it was evident that
if the game was won at all it would
be won through the advantage he gave
his team In the eighth inning 1t was
a tie, and only by the brilliant pitch
ing in the ninth did the Ferncliffes
win the game.
The teams had left the grounds
when Kyle stepped up to Kinsey and
said:
"How about that bet between us?
l suppose since you had a full team
it's off,
give won that bet" replied Kinsey,
and, thrusting his hand under his jack
ct, he brought out a bill and handed it
to Kyle.

Kyle, $50. What does it mean?'
ct means that | bought the stake
for the pitcher, since l intended she

self. Since we won with a man short

Yes; our pitcher is not a man, but
girl, cousin of mine. a student in the
State Normal school. She's strong and
athletic, and I've played ball with her
often and while doing so saw in her
the making of good twirler. She'll
be at our house this evening and happy
to receive callers in appropriate cos
tune
1t is needless to say that the young
lady pitchers reception in the evening
was largely attended. She was very
modest and found it difficult to stand
against the battery of eyes brou' ht to
bear on her. The story that the Fern
cliffe pitcher was a girl had within the
few hours since the finishing of the
game spread so far that every one who
had seen her in baseball costume wish
ed to see her dressed as woman. The
consequence was that the house was
too small to receive the crowd at one
time, SO they kept going as we'll a

THE FERNCLIFFE
PITCHER
Story of q Baseball Cham.
pionship
By DAVID r. BRADY

The baseball fever for the coming
season was on, and the teams were
being made up with unusual care, for
half a dozen towns within a dozen
miles Of one another had formed a
league with a view to disputing a
championship before the diamond
should be deserted in favor Of the grid
iron. No professional players were al
lowed to take part, and every precau-
ton was taken to insure an amateur
series Of games.
As the season advanced the different
teams were found to be so evenly
matched that it was impossible to pre-
dict which two would play the finals
for the champion prize bat inlaid
with silver and beautiful to behold.
The daily banner. (Cambridge, Md.) 1897-2008, 1913-08-14

Where was Kinsey to find a pitcher
to take the place of the one he had
lost? The terms adopted by the league
required that all the players should be
residents Of the town which the team
represented Kinsey told Warfield that
he must either have authority to go
outside the county for a pitcher or give
up the struggle. Warfield consented to
his doing so provided only an amateur
was introduced.
Immediately after this arrangement
KInsey was known to be giving in
structions to his pitcher, but since
these lessons were in private it was
not known who the pitcher was. He
said that he was obliged to make q
pitcher since there was none ready
made at hand. The person he was In.
structtng did not come to Kinsey for
instruction. Kinsey went to his pupil.
For this reason it was difficult to fin0
out who was the man being taught to:
twirl.
This matter seriously disturbed the
betting on the champion game. Kin
sey was importuned with questions
about his new pitcher and how the
matter would affect the game. He re
piled that in his own opinion his team
had as good a chance for winning with
the substitute as with the original, but
he declined to give an opinion as to the
result A man named Kyle, who was
betting on the game, so persisted in
his questions as to who the new pitch
er was, where he came from and what
was his record that Kinsey, finally
losing his patience, said:
81 don't know that I'll have pitch
er. l may have to take one from the
team"
'That will make you man; short"
said Kyle.
Suppose it should?"
''In that case I'll bet you $50 you
lose the game"
'I'm not betting on the game, but ii
you'll make the stake present for the
pitcher to cost not more than $40
against a box of cigars to cost the
same amount I'll take you"
"All right" said Kyle; Its a 60"
Several persons who were standing
near were puzzled at this strange con-
tract, but, interpreting it favorably for
the Ferncliffe team, went away to get
bets against it. The incident was
spread abroad and tended to stimulate
the backing of Kinsey's team, though
odds were obtained, it being reported
that the pitcher would come from the
team as already constituted and that
the game was liable to be played with
q man short.
Up to the day the game was played
no one had seen the new pitcher, and
some contended that there would be no
new pitcher; that Kinsey had a man
on his team-a dark housewife would
do the twirling. Ferncliffe folks, TAX
ing their cue from the captain, made
what bets they could get Cat consider
able odds in their favor that the Fern
cliffes would win the game with man
short
When the teams walked out on the
diamond, true enough, there were but
eight men in the Ferncliffes. How
ever, when the game was called man
emerged from the Fernclfffe quarters
and advanced toward the diamond.
He went straight to the pitchers box
and stood there with every spectators
eye fixed upon him. He was of me-
dunn height and appeared to be well
built, though his loose uniform was
not calculated to show the lines Of his

KINA&X WA6 WArCdlN0 dlM CLOSGLf.
At first the Forest Hills led, with the
Sparksvilles second. Then the Ham
mond Centers and Guilfords crept
upon these teams and passed them.
And so the record kept changing till
midsummer, when it became evident
that two teams, both Of which had
been at the foot Of the list at the start,
the Hiltons and the Ferncnffes, stood
at the head Of the list, and one or the
other was bound to win the bat.
The reason Of this was that both
these teams, after the first few games
had been played, got in new captains,
who took them In hand in earnest and
coached them splendidly. Warfield Of
the Hammond Centers was jocularly
spoken Of as having been born with
baseball in his mouth. and Kinsey Of
the Ferncliffes was represented when
. baby as having thrown away his
bottle and called for q bat. Each man
weeded out the poor material he found
in his team and replaced it with the
best. It was said that Waraeld could
tell good catcher by his walk and that
Kinsey could make a twirler in three
lessons Of any man.
The excitement had been increasing
during the playing of the games up to
the point of deciding which teams
should make the final struggle for the
bat. and when this was determined 1t
reached fever heat.
While there was Ill feeling between
the partisans, there was none what
ever between the two teams. The cap
tains were the best Of friends and re-
NAMED so Notwithstanding the rivalry.
Each told the other that he expected
to be beaten, but would die game,
though no such admission was allowed
to get out.
The excitement ran as high among
the girls of the different towns as
among the young men, many girls hav-
ing sewed or embroidered on their caps
or their sweaters or their jackets the
letter h or F. With the exception
Of those girls living in one of the
towns from which the rival clubs hail
ID, the preference depended on the at
Effectiveness Of one or more players.
This gave Captain Warfield a majority
Of the sympathy, for he was a fine
looking fellow, while Kinsey's nose
had been broken at football. which
sadly marred his appearance.
A week before the champion game
was to be played the pitcher Of the
Ferncliffe team received a blow in the
eye from ball which not only closed
It, but bid fair to be followed by Sc
r1ous consequences. At any rate, the
accident eliminated him from the CON-
ing game.
