MERCER
HERE TOMORROW
TO PLAY 3 GAMES
SPECIAL TRAINS SATURDAY
Biz Crowds viii See the
Opening Game

With Mercer and Auburn here to-
morrow for the first game of a series
of three to be played on the local
diamond, fans will have an opportun-
ity to witness some lively collegiate
ball playing Indications are that
large crowds will witness the three
games.
The two teams will likely reach the
city early tomorrow morning, so that
they may be ready for the series. The
two teams. according to the dopsters,
are pretty well matched, though Mer-
Ger has been somewhat weakened by
the loss of Moses "a star twirler.
Last year Mercer took two out of
three games from the Auburn men,
who will come to Americas determin-
ed to retrieve their fortunes. it
would seem that Auburn has a good
chance of coping the series, either
for two or the entire three games. Mer.
Ger, however, is going to try hard To
repeat the performance of last year.
1t was announced yesterday that
children's seats for the games will be
% cents General admission will be
50 cents, and grandstand seats will sell
for so cents. For the convenience CT
the public, tickets will be on sale up
town at a place to be announced to-
morrow morning.

This spring l seem to be bringing
my bat around the same as l did in

Before he answered he looked around
to see if any of the Cub twirlers were
within hearing distance, and then con-
tinued:
There are some mighty fine pitch

them often enough to keep me from
making thirty homers. If were ID

chance of accomplishing my feat
Schultz was interrupted here a..i
asked what pitchers he ranks as tho
select of the National league. AS this
question was put to him, Larry
Cheney walked up and joined the fam
ming bee. The outfielder looked at the
Cubs star finger and said:
Here is the fellow | consider class
es with the best in the game, and if |
had to face Cheney's every day, you
could bet your last dollar my home
run record would not run up to thirty
or even twenty-one.

through his workouts this spring, and
several times have donned catcher's
nit and caught him. 1t is wonderful
how he can manipulate the ball. They
saw Tesrau and Walsh have sharp
breaking spitballs, but i doubt if they
have ANYTHING on this fellow, and | am
not saying this because he is sitting
here, or because he plays on ouI

"Mathewscn, of course, belongs in
the best class, but am likely to make
home run off him just as easily as
any one else, as he pitches fast ball

this would have happened:
There would have been an initial
court fee usually of 81 or SIS. A con-
stable or >bailiff would have gone to
Mary's home with writ command
ing her to appear and make answer
to Johns complaint. And although
the writ is a printed form with only
name or two filled in, the constable
or baiIiff would receive fee for writ
ing the writ, one for handing it to
Mary or putting it under Mary's door,
and mileage allowance five to tWen-
ty times the actual cost of his journey
to and fro.
This is because, when our English
forefathers fixed up the court system
which we have inherited without re-
vision, there were no public schools,
no printing presses, no three-cent-
fare trolley cars, no frequent free
mail deliveries from door to door and
no telephones it was worth some
thing, in those days, to know how to
writ a writ, and to adventure, amidst
cutthroats and highwaymen, to serve
it. ...-
Finally, at the appointed time,
Mary would appear in court, judg-
ment would be entered against her,
her wages would be attached and,
under the rule prevailing in most
places of employment, she would lose
her job.
Now, this is what happened in :
Cleveland:

of the court of Cancellation" new

so cents for fees and was advised to

YOUR MOVE, GENTLEMEN
History is often profitable in
review. LaFollette did well to re-
peat in the Senate the other day
the story of how the System put
one over on him and the people in
1908.
He had held the floor for 10
hours against the Vreeland-Al-
drich currency bili-held it be-
cause of a "joker" in the bill vail
dating any old kind of railroad
bond, no matter how full of wind
and water, as a legal basis of
emergency currency. To p1acate
him, Senator Aldrich agreed to
Withdraw this provision. With
that done the bill passed the Sen
ate, went to conference, was held
until the closing hours Of the ses-
sion and was then railroaded
through, with the "joker" restor-
ed. It is the law today.
That same power under the
rules to juggle with measures in
conference which Aldrich used so
skilfully in his service of the Sys-
TEN prevails today and will con
tinue unless the progressive Dem
