Sample Of Ingalls, Satire.

Many years ago, when Senator In
gals was in the senate, oleomargarint
was q bone Of contention. The debate
led Ingalls, to utter one Of those cpl
grammatic sentences which made hin
famous. IT have never, to my knowl
edge, tasted oleomargarine," said In
gals, "but I have stood in the pres
ence of genuine butter with awe for iti
strength and reverence for It's antiQ
uity."

Resolution Of Respect Adopted BY Chez

raw Sbinp We We we
RESOLVED: We break the sanct7
uary Of your great grief and extend
to you and your family our deepest
sympathy and to share your sorrow
which has cast a gloom over us all
in the loss of your dear son taken
from you and among us in the flow
er of his young life.
It seems strange that such a
Christian Character should be called
to go and 80 many of us left that fall
so far below him. We wonder why he
should be taken from among us just
at the beginning Of his young man
hood. We feel the loss Of a Christ
ian young man that might have spent
years among us doing good; a char
acter seldom seen among our young
men. Empty words cannot express
our sympathy to your aching hearts
but we trust you will find comfort
in the thought that God has called
him; that it is to fulfill His purpose
that he has called such a noble young
heart from your home. He has only
gone ahead to meet you in a fairer
land where there will be no more sor-
row and where loved ones part no
more.
To you, Mr.. Knight, We extend our
deepest sorrow, and you, Mrs. Knight,
our tenderest sympathy, and to you
children around the fireside, We feel
with you the loss of kind and low
ing Brother.

the ball that could not help but bring
ultimate success. Now he has added
| confidence to his other assets and
faces the pitcher with the belief that
he is going to lay the ball in safe
territory.
Ask any heavy batter and he will
tell you that this confidence is his
chief reliability. The pitcher senses
the secure feeling of the sticker, and
loses confidence in the same proper
ton that the batter has it. The re-
suit works in two directions. The
pitcher either tries to put so much
on the first pitches that he is wild,
and is finally forced to place a
straight one across the plate, or he
put nothing at all on the ball in an
effort to stick it where the batter
can do nothing with it. In either case
the batter profits. He can lay to one
of the growers and clout it Justify or
lunge at the nothing ball and drive
it beyond reach of the infielders.
Time is what chappeII needs. The
experience he is gaining in the latter
stages of the present campaign will
stand him in good stead when the
bell rings for 1914.
Yesterdays defeat came perilousIy

This afternoon practically reopen
ed the baseball season in Chicago, the

good. The schedule makers of the

astute gents, but to leave Chicago
without baseball for four successive
days, one holiday, during the best
season of the year, does not raise
them at all in the estimation of local
fans.

troublesome to the leading batters,
though the games won and lost will
not show it. Dopesters who base
their regard for a pitcher on the
number of games he won may not
think a whole lot of Reb. You have
to see him in action, and also watch
his pals when he is pitching, to fully
appreciate his true worth.
Russell probably gets poorer sup
port from his mates, both in the field
and at the bat, than any other pitch
er on the South Side staff. On the
fingers of one hand can be counted
the games this year in which he has
been given decent margin Of runs
to work on. Behind him the Sox sell
dom bat strongly, and they take the
days when the Rebel is in the box to
pull all the weird fielding stuff out of
their systems. The amplified records,
showing the earned runs and hits
scored off the different pitchers, will
back up the claim that Russell is the
best young southpaw developed in
the past two years. The difficulty is
that the majority OF fans merely skim
the records, s. De-. --.....

CLOSED DOORS
AS Much as Possible is a
Railroad Rule for the
Winter.

An order just issued from the local
offices of the Baltimore and Ohio
provides that trainmen shall give
strict attention to having the doors
of the coaches closed only while
passengers are being taken on or dis
charged, is designed to protect the
health of those riding in the trains.
1t has been custom for trainmen
after calling stations, half mile from
the stop, to leave the doors open and
also to leave them open after the
passengers have been taken on and
off. The new order is that the doors
must be kept closed until the stop is
reached and as soon as the pas
sengers have been placed on board
to have them closed again 1t is a
rule that will be greatly appreciated
during the winter.

ROOM RENTING IS
PROBED BY MAYOR
West Pike Street Leasehold-
ers Hailed Into City
Court.

Leaseholders of West Pike street
building were hailed before Mayor
Frank r. Moore this morning in po-
lice court to explain why second
story rooms Of the building had been
rented to certain women. 1t was
suspected that the rooms had been
rented for an immoral purpose. AS
enc result of the conference the
mayor served notice upon the lease
holders not to rent the rooms for any
such purpose and gave assurance of
stiff fine and Jail sentence in case
they were.
The investigation was brought
about by the arrest of young woman
who said she was Florence Wait, OF
Glen Falls, Thursday afternoon in
the interurban trolley station by Po-
liceman Lloyd Queen. She was dead
drunk when arrested In police
court this morning she told the mayor
that she and married woman Oh
Glen Falls had rented rooms for
two or three nights in the
building in question, but she did not
explain satisfactorily to the mayor
for what purpose the rooms were
rented nor how it came that she got
drunk She admitted that she got
drunk herself.
AS it seemed to the mayor that the
girl was not telling the truth, he re-
manded her to Jail until such time,
he told her, as she felt willing TO tell
him straight story. A further in
yestigation of the case is to be made
by the mayor and the police depart
ment.
In addition to this case, Mayor
Moore gave his attention to three
others in which drunkenness was
charged, One fellow paid fine of
$3.50, another forfeited a cash bond
of that amount and Pate McAtee and
James Baker. old timers, were re-
mandN to Jail until evening.
