tel man, one for a man who represents
an ~otficeholder and the third for a man
who represented himself or another Of
fetal.
That Is the graft system" as District
Attorney Whitman understands 1t. and
that Is the system" upon which he be-
gan his first actual legal battle today.
Before nightfali he hopes to have made
his first inroad by indictments against
Police Inspector Dennis +. Sweeney
and Police Captain Thomas w. Walsh.
Walsh has already told much and
will tell more. Sweeney's representa-
tives or those who pretended to repre-
sent him have already tried to inter
cede for the Inspector and have re
ceived no satisfaction, The bargain
that Sweeney must make will be n
hard IL Ii he would saw himself
after indictment be will he handed a
statement like the foregoing and will
be old to tell the name of the one man
to whom he monthly turned over his
share of the $4,000 which all the In
spectors had to deliver. II Sweeney

1T" IN CRITICIZING WOMEN
If Prof. Frederick Starr was after
trouble when he criticized women to
a class at Chicago University, he sue
ceeded. Suffragists bounced on Prof.
Starr, and roasted him to fare-yOu-
well.
. The following words, uttered by
the professor, started the trouble:
Woman is inferior to man. She
always has been the inferior, and al.
ways will be, from the very nature
of things. Her present seeming
equality is due to the fact that man
is only marking time. When he re-
sumes the race he will take the lead
ership again"
That's enough to peeVe any WO-
man, and particularly ones who have
just acquired vote, and are chesty
over the fact. DR.. COTnelia de Bey,
acting as spokesman for the wOmen's
clubs, said Prof. Starr was a nice
man but he didn't know what he was
talking about.
Woman is the mother Of the babe,
and a baby is greater creative evil
dence than man ever demonstrated"
declared DR.. De Bey.
PROF. Starr is a scientist whose
opinions l respect, but 1 believe he
has drawn the wrong conclusion in
his comparison of man and woman.
Women's activities were discouraged
for centuries; they still are discour-

Southern League Used Eghysix Pitchers During Past Sea-
son-Prough Hardgrove and Foxen Finished Over
500-Covaleski Twirled Often for Lookouts

Clinton Prough, the big right-hander of
the Birmingham Barons, led the Southern
league pitchers for the season, winning
23 games, losing six and tying one per-
centage of .795. Harry Coveleskie of Chat
tanooga was second, with 1871 Then
come three Atlanta pitchers, Councilman,
Price and Dent, in the order named.
While the Barons' twirling staff was
not the best in the league, it nevertheless
made very creditable showing. Three
of the five regular moundsmen, Prough
Hardgrove and Foxen finished with an
average over the 500 mark, while the
other two, Gregory and Ery, failed to
show winning ability.
Bill Prough won % games and lost g.;
Omar Hardgrove 10 and lost 10, while Bill
Foxen returned winner in Is contests
and loser in ID. Young Frank Gregory
ranked next among the Barons, with four
Victories and six defeats, while Ery
brought up the rear with one win and
two losses.
Coveleskie has the honor of working in
the largest number of games and the
largest number of innings. Here are the
averages of every pitcher who pitched

The individual fielding marks of the
players in the Southern league this
season are below the standard, though
there are a few that have maintained
the standard of excellence in former
years,
The closeness of the races and the re-
suit Of many single games deciding the
ultimate ranking of this or MAT team
caused many players TO play under a
tension and therefore make boots that
would not have occurred had the strain
been less tense.
While the fielding of most of the
players in the league was far below the
average, the Barons. with a few excep.
tions, showed up to advantage. Bill
McGilvray tied with peerless Joe Alger
of the pennant winning Crackers, for
first place among the first basemen
with the splendid average of 1856 Mar
can ranked fourth to the actual leader
of the second basemen, while Captain
Roy ELAN was also fourth among the
short stops.

made more putouts than any other

third among the guardians Of the third
sackers, with an average of $40, while
Eddie Mcdonald is close at his heels
with .939.
Walter Mayer the reliable Baron
backstopper, also stands high among the
catchers. with an average of 9s1. The
Barons gardeners did not field up to
their standard. Mcbride lead the Bar
ons, with an average of .957. while
knisely was second with 952 and Mes
senger third with 951
Among the hurlers, Prough lead the
Barons, while Hardgrove and Foxen
were distant second and third re-
spectively.
