MACkMEN ENGAGE
IN SLUGGING BEE,
Plank and Bender Perform Brilliantly the Mound Wnnnn
Two for Macks Athletics Baker, Strunk, and McInnes
Drive Ball to Corners of Lot-Lapp Gets Homer
By SENATOR,

For four and one-half hours yesterday
Connie Mack's noble young athletes en-
tertained a good-sized crowd of men,
women, and children with a pitching
and batting exhibition. A few lads who
braved the drizzle in the press box said
afterward that the first score was
II to 2, and the second 10 to 8. but no.
body cared much about that. Indeed
why should those lads have kept the
tally?
For the first half of the afternoon
Eddie Plank, the veteran southpaw. di-
vided with Frank Baker, Jack McIn-
mis-, and Amos Strunk the attention Of
the spectators. Plank gave an excel
lent definition of a good pitcher in the
big show. He had perfect control, a
wicked hop on his fast ball, and kept
his curve ball breaking just out Of
reach of the foe. He went through his
work as If he knew exactly what was
expected of him
While Plank was twirling SO excel
lently, the rest of the Mackmen were
driving the ball out to the far corners
of the arena Frank Baker walloped
three right on the conk. Eddie Collins
grabbed two, McIinnis three, and Amos
Strunk two, one a peach of a triple
over the opposing center fielder's head.
Connie Mack has a whole lot of lads
who can hit that pill. In the last inning
he sent a kid named Orr up in place of
Collins, and the rookie bounced triple
down into left field, perishing at the
plate when he tried to make four cor
ners on the drive. All told. during that
first half Of the soiree, which was held
: in q pouring rain. the Mackmen collect
ed sixteen hits, two of them being
triples and one a double.
Running around on the soggy soil
sort of slowed Up the Mackmen later on
in the afternoon, and SO the latter half
of the batting exhibition did not see so
MANY hits. But 1t did see Jack Lapp.
the bald-headed backstop, lift the pill
over the garden wall in right. leaving
Dan Moeller standing disgustediy and
scortpe Barry ahead of him. Come to
thing of 1t, not a triple featured the
work of the Mackmen in that second
section. Connie must have overlooked
that. Perhaps he thought the homer
this slight slip.
Throughout the long afternoon, from
. till $50, the Mackmen exhibited their
prowess under all conditions. They hit
fast ones, slow ones, curved ones and
wild ones. They clustered them now
and then, four at a single plucking.
again at six, now at three or two Even
one would be slammed out, just to make
the grand total
At $50 o'clock, with thoughts of
home and mother. most Of the specta-
tors went away from there. that is,

is what you missed:

POPE Plus x BLESSES
AMERICAN SAILORS
Fifteen Thousand People Of Rome
Gather to Witness Imposing
Ceremony.

Pope Plus impaired the papal bene-
diction to cadets from the American
training ship Ranger last Monday In
the presence Of $1,000 members of the
parish Of Rome. The ceremony took
place in the courtyard of San Damasco
where the vast throng gathered to
await the appearance of the pope
when from the central arcade the
cadets from the American training
shin marched in amid greeting of
loud applause.
The coming of the pope and his
court was announced by buglcrs. the
throng kneeling and the band playing
pontifical airs The American sailors
greeted his Holiness with hearty
cheer. The greeting over and silence
restored, the pope delivered a brief
address from the balcony. At the
close of his talk he impaired the papal
blessing to the assemblage.

Kindly Silence.

The kindness Of silence is some
thing that we might all bestow much
oftener than we do. Granted that we
do not indulge in scandal. that
when we know Of the distress and
humiliation that have befallen a
friends household In the wrong doing
Of one Of it's members we tell the tale
only pityingly and with very extenu-
ating circumstances, yet why tell it
at all? If 1t were one of our beloved
that had stumbled into sin and dis
grace, If one dear to US had yielded to
sudden temptation. II our home had
been rent with bitterness and dissen-
sion, would not the first impulse, a
right and natural impulse, be to hide
the hurt and stain from every human
eye would we not bless the friendship
that so far as possible closed it's eyes
and sealed Its lips and that could be
trusted not to repeat what 1t perforce
had seen and heard? Surely this is a
place where the Golden Rule might
have much wider practice than it has
the shielding Of others by silence
as we would have our own shielded.

THOUSANDS ATTEND
ST. ANNE'S NOVENA
Crippes and lnvalids and Manned
Persons Numerous in Line Of
~'''<.s - Procession.

Ten thousand persons packed st.
Anne's" church, Chicago, last Sunday
to attend the services of the third day
of the novena to the patron saint of
the church. Father Ambrose, under a
canopy bearing reliquary in which
was a piece of a bone from the wrist
of st. Anne, headed a procession that
is said to be the longest afternoon
procession that took place in the par
ish in twenty years.
Many of the people in the process
sion were invalids and cripples who
hoped for q cure at the intercession
of the saint. There We're those who
rode in invalid chairs, those who
leaned on the arms of others and
those who hobbled along with canes
and crutches. Hundreds were turned
away on account of the size of the
crowd.
Leo Pickney, 2117 Airport avenue
Chicago, was one among the number
who attested to having been cured
through attendance at st. Anne no.
venas. He said he had been in an in.
valid chair seven years. Two years
ago he attended the novena with the
result that at it's close he was able tt
give up the chair. Last year he came
with crutches and by the time the
novena was over he was able to give
them up also Now he declares thai
he is entirely well.

THEN AND NOW
The Good Old Days Of Forty Years
Ago Recalled.

Nothing is as good as it was in
those good old days. Then boy was
a boy; he wore overalls and was al
ways dressed for work. He did al
half days work before he went to
school and another after his return
and you could kick him ten feet and
he would bound back. Now boy Isl
a kid" When he gets ready to goI
to school he can't bring in a pail of
water for fear of spelling his clothes.
If he gets home before the evening
meal is done something is wrong and
if you keep him after p. m. you
will require a gatling gun. Our Sis
ters worked then and helped to cook,
wash and mend. Now they have good
luck If they get their duds on in time
to eat breakfast and so to school.
When the preacher used to come the
boys and girls We're expected to sit
up as straight as cobs and speak
when they were spoken to. Now they
through their PAGES. The girl must
knock a few stars out Of the piano
and the boy must speak his piece and
look like q sick monkey begging for
raisins. They used to get married on
two dollars and so to housekeeping
on fifty cents. One suit lasted year
and two more for everyday The
community worked ten hours and then
went to a shindy and young and old
danced till morning. They had no
"brainstorm" and heartaches nor ap-
pendicitis. Brainstorms were cured
with water elm club, heart failure
was then called fits and appendicitis
was called bellyachc. They rolled
the patient on barrel or rubbed hin,
with hot brick and no one knew he
had a veriform dooflicker that was
liable to get full of cherry seeds. We
used 10 eat soup and have sasses of
| Al. khlUes ISOW-F, We Cav. rATu1C' -ealhu
and consoinme and have biscuits
made with baking powder that look
as though someone had sat on them.
We then had bread made with rising
that smelled like a glue factory when
it was raising but tasted better than
anything made from three X rolled
-four ground into nothing but dust.
And If the girls chewed gum they
had to dig it out of a tamarack tree
with a screw driver. Progress doesn't
always mean betterment. Those
pioneers were as happy as anybody on
earth. They needed less than a quar-
ter of the luxurics of today and six
times the necessities. They neither
froze in the blizzard nor roasted in
the heat. They were too tough to be
affected seriously by either heat or
cold.

ond Advent preacher and lecturer. He
wrote a book called TRUTH" which
as printed by the Blakely Printing
1cf,. any of Chicago. Its pages are
to- n half-baked rot about the
of prophesies and other Wis
io.> projects. He made rambling
speech for Garfield during the cam
paign and was "choked off" by the
national committee, but conceived the
idea that the president ought to make
him minister to Austria. He claimed
that God inspired him to slay the
president in order to save the repub-
lie. The menace he feared did not ex-
list, outside of his own disordered
mind. In this respect he resembles
Editor Walker. He was as far from
being Catholic as is Walker, and
nearly as idiotic. When in New York
or Chicago Guiteau made himself at
home around the quarters of the Y. M.

Readers of The Menace were also
asked to believe that Leon Czolgosz,
who assassinated President Mckinley,
was Catholic. Regardless of what
his parents may have been, Czolgosz
was an anarchist, despising all con-
stituted authority, both secular and
religious. His philosophy was the
antithesis of Catholicism. Before he
could become disciple of Emma
Goldman, Leon Czolgosz had to turn
his back upon every tenet of the
Church and repudiate every principle
of the Christian religion. Anarchists
are not only haters of government but
they reject the God idea. Tom Wat
