BILLY HAMILTON
WAS GREATEST OF
ALL BASE RUNNERS

If things should SO shape themselves
that BILLY Hamilton. the old big lea
guers acquired the Holyoke club, the
Eastern association would add to its
fold a man who has always been a
credit to baseball. He was fast, clean
and aggressive but never unfair or a
rowI1y. He was popular with fans
and players and he was one Of the
most dangerous batters that ever fac
ed a pitcher For II consecut1ve sea-
sons he hit Better than 800
-Four balls, take your BASEL

Billy Hamilton, that wonder fielder,
batter and base runner of the Phila-
delphia and Boston Nationals, who
starred from 1889 TO 1903.
Billy Hamilton the batter who made
every pitcher go the limit, who crowd
ed the plate and refused to be driven
back by the speediest of bean balls
as a walter" A hard-hitter, never
swinging until he had to, Hamilton
was a. nightmare to pitchers. even as
Kid EIberfe1d and Roger Bresna3lan
were later.
Billy Sunday and Bill Lange alone

best records in baseball, Billy Hamil-
ton retired from the majors and has
since devoted himself to scouting for
the majors and managing minor Tea
que teams. His home Is at Clinton
Mass, and he spends his winters there.
Hamilton is IS now. He was born
in Newark, N. J., and started his
baseball career in Waterbury, Conn,
in 1887. The next year he was with
Worcester and Kansas City had him
in 1889. He went to Philadelphia that
same year and remained until 1896,
when he Joined Boston, where he play
ed until he quit the league.
Baseball probably never has seen
equal as base runner, ait
least no one ever eQua1ed his record of
stealing more than 100 bases in two
different seasons. Hamilton stole 1O2
bases in 1890 and in 1891 pilfered lis.
Bill Lange went into the bag with
arms and legs flying like piston rods
and the man covering second had to
give ground but Hamilton started
quickly and slid into or around the
bag Hamilton, not present-day run

September day, thousands of Della
wareans with many people from
Maryland, made the annual pill
grimage to Barratt S Chapel near
Frederick, the occasion being the
one hundred and thirty-fourth an
niversary of Barratt s Chapel.
For mile or more teams and au-
tomobiles lined the roadway lead
ing to the chapel and by the time
for afternoon service, it is estimat-
ed that fully 5000 people were in
attendance, some estimates being
even larger.
Because of the favorable weather
and the vast crowds in attendance,
the services of the afternoon were
held in the grove in front Of the
chapel. Rev. w. f. Matthews,
minister in charge of Barratt S
chapel, located at Magnolia, was in
charge of the services. The other

Salem theatre.goers will have an op.

a well.known Salemite, and that there
will be a large and appreciative audi

While on the road Mr.. Snyder was
known as "Tiny." He weighs only 26C
pounds, and his voice is just as big

Preparations Already Being Made to

Sacramento, Cal, May 3.-In the Ger,
tainty that the amended anti-alien land
bill will go through the assembly sub.

today, preparations already are afoot
by certain business interests to sub,
ject it to referendum vote, thus de-

ber, 1914.
This course was not only predicted
by senators during the historic debate
of the amended Webb bill last night
but is today further substantiated by
kilograms in the hands of legislators.
1t was the reason preferred by San
ford, Cartwright and others why il
would be better to delay a short time
until President Wilson had been al
lowed to take the matter up diplomat
ically with Japan, instead of rushing
the measure.
"We would save time by doing that
and get an anti-alien land law at an
earlier date, - declared Sanford. "Now
most surely, chambers of commerce
and the business men of the cities are
going to invoke the referendum. Thai
will hold up this legislation until the
general election in 1914"
During that interval, it is hoped by
those who plan to initiate this step, tht
clamor for such legislation will have
somewhat abated; that the exposition
will be near completion, to offei
stronger argument, and that Washing
ton and Japan will have had an oppor
tunity to complete those diplomatic in
terchanges which already have begun
it is asserted.
The menace of this delay, allowing {
period of one year and seven months il
which the japanese could acquire agri
cultural lands wholesale was repeatedly
pointed out by Sanford, Shanahan
Cartwright and others last night.
