kindly, sympathetic man, whose deep
voice was accustomed to come like
a benediction to the ears of his troubl-

his heart had not ceased to burn over
the wrongs that had been wrought

captain betrayed the plan to the royal

answering cry. Long live Our Lady

And the meeting in the church was

Then came the work of arming his
ragged followers and forming them in
to some semblance of military order.
There were spears for some, made
under Hidalgo's directions, and for
others matchetes, the long knives that
are used to clear away the swift-grow-

formed the army of liberation.
At the town of San Miguel were guns

surprised the towns defenders in a

for the first time the banner of the

raised upon a lance to serve as battle

THE SOLDIER PRIEST OF MEXICO
(Kansas City Starr

Opposite the government palace in
the city of Chihuahua, Mexico, there
is little sunny square known as the
Plaza Hidalgo. A monument is in the
middle of the plaza, bronze statue
of baldheaded man past middle age,
standing on top of bronze pillar, high
up where the early light of dawn
strikes it's weathered brown surface.
1t is a pleasant little place, the Plaza
Hidalgo-a green breathing spot in
the heart of the city-and it was there
that the priest Hidalgo, father of Mex
lean liberty, was taken out early one
morning more than hundred years
ago and shot to death by soldiers who
were in the pay of Spain.
On the other side of the street from
the same government palace, formal
building of European aspect, there
stands an old brown tower of adobe,
Hidalgo's tower. A sturdy, unfiinch
ing tower it is, with one small window
high above the street, and bronze
tablet fastened to the wall announces
that it was within this tower that the
patriot priest said his ayes the NIGH
before he died.
The man Hidalgo was So years ole
when Mexico began it's war of indie
pendence against Spain in 1910. A
tall, brown old man he was; the clumI
of hair that fringed his shiny heaC
was silvered, and he had the scholar

They bound him in chair, and he
placed his thin old hands above his
heart; it was dark, and he wanted to
show the soldiers where to aim.
Their aim was unsteady, and after
the first volley he still sat there, his
lips moving in prayer; a second vol
ley cut the cords that bound him, and
he tumbled out and down into the
dust, and they fired once more, and
there at last was no further need; the
strong heart of the padre of Dolores
had been stilled.

Nj. ]. MLAUGHLIN, AN APPALA-
CHAN LEAGUE UMPIRE,
WRITES OF. FAMOUS STARS
HE HAS RECOMMENDED TO
BASEBALL LEADERS

M. J. Mclaughlin, who umpired last
season in the Appalachian league, claims
the distinction of having found Joe Jack
son, Steve Yerkes, Derrill Pratt, Cullop,
Hyder Barr Bales, Davis and other
players who have made or are making
good. In this regard. Mclaughlin, who
formerly lived in Birmingham, writes the
sporting editor of The Age-Herald
IT want to correct an error l read in a
certain Birmingham daily about Joe
Jackson, now playing baseball with the
Cleveland American league club. 1t was
who recommended both Joe Jackson and
Hyder Barr to Connie Mack. Both play
ers were playing in Greenville, S. c., in
1908, in Carolina league, where ! UNI
pired all of that season. AL Maui, the
old National league pitcher, was sent to
Greenville TO look them ~over, and not
Sam Kennedy, as the paper states. / was
umpiring that series in Greenville s. G.,
when AL Maui arrived there and asked
me over again about those two men.
He at once bought Joe Jackson's and
Hyder Bars release, and paid $500 for
both men. Next spring, 1909, met Connie
Mack in Birmingham, and he asked my
advice about Joe jackson. ! said farm
him out for one season to an old pail
tplayer, who is managing class ID club.
He sent Jackson to Bobby Gilks at Sa-
yannai | told Connie Mack that Jle

der Barr was a pitcher when he joined
the Greenvile club in 1908 and good one,
too But the management broke him
down playing him in every game during
the season of 1908, and also pitching him
in his turn.
Another case is Derrill Pratt now of
/ the ST. Louis club, and a graduate of
the University of Alabama, where have
been umpiring games for the past five
years. / recommended Pratt in 1909 and
1910 to couple of managers in the South
ern league, but they said, No Several
students from Montgomery, attending the
university, heard what 1 said about Pratt
and they at once notified the directors of
the Montgomery club, and Montgomery
secured Pratt at once. Pratt has proved
to be what said of him, a coming star
in the big leagues.
Il also sent Steve Yerkes, infielder, TO
the Boston Americans in 1909 from Will
son, N. C. They only farmed him out for
one season, in 1910, with Chattanooga.
Yerkes was the star in the worlds cham
pionship series last fall.
Last season in the Appalachian league,
where I was umpiring, l sent and recon-
mended some good men to different
leagues. Outfielder Sloan, the heavy hit
ter of the Montgomery club, / recon-
mended TO the st. Louis scout. and made
the deal personally myself, selling Third
Baseman Bill Bales to the Memphis club
of the Southern league and Bales led the
Southern league in batting.
II also recommended Pitchers Cullop
and Walker to the Cleveland Americans
and Pitcher Davis to Cincinnati. Cincin-
natl sent Pitcher Davis to Columbus, o.,
the later part of the season of 1872 and
Davis won five out of six games he
pitched for Columbus. I also sent College
Pitcher Griner to st. Louis, and many
others to other leagues"

and a home run. He made but four
errors in 43 games. Eddie Plank, who
lost but six games, ranking next to
Wood, batted 267 and fielded without
an error. Walter johnson. the pitch
ing marvel, hit 264, six doubles, four
triples and two homers going to his
credit. He also flelded his position
splendidly. Jack Coombs, who won
21 and lost 10 games, batted .255, and
did not make fielding error. Jean
Dubuc of the Tigers led his team
mates In victories, batted .276 and
erred but three times. Mcconnell of
the Yankees hit .297. while Russell
Ford batted .2S6. The two led the
Yankee hurlers in victories. Ford
was also among the leaders in fielding.
Fred Blanding was the Maps most
consistent winner. He fielded excel
lently and batted. as did George Null
lin of Detroit. Chief Bender is also
in the list.
Claude Hendrix. the leading pitcher
in the National league, led the heav-
ers in fielding and batted 1922, his col
lection of drives including 10 doubles,
six triples and one four-sacker.
Mathewson Crandall, Wiltse, Cam
nitz. Rucker, Brennan and Mar
guard also batted well and ranked
high as fielders as we'll.
1t goes to show that class tells.
Had Joe Wood, Russell Ford, Ed
Walsh. Hendrix. Walter Johnson,
Goombs or Plank elected to play some
other position, the chances are that
he would have succeeded, providing
he had brought the same energy to
bear upon his work that he devoted
to pitching.
