POOR EMMETT DALTON.

Pity Emmett Dalton, if your sympa-
thies are that susceptible, but what
business has he being in Jail for drunk
enness? When Governor Hoch par
doned him in 1908 there were scores
of persons around Coffeyville who had
many doubts about Emmet's ability to
follow the straight and narrow path.
They knew the fire in his blood, once
kindled, could never be checked. He
began drinking and has been going
from bad to worse. No crime can be
charged against him, but there is no
telling to what end his drinking may
lead him. He certainly is showing lit
tie appreciation of his pardon Just
now and his conduct is doing much
to awaken doubt of the efficiency of
the entire parole and pardon system.
At any rate strong string ought to
be tied to every released convict

THE GAMES GREATEST iNFiELD

In the midst of rabid midsummer pennant discussion two experts sud- denlv switched into a heated areu- ment as to which was the greatest infield that ever played-the Chlcaeo Cubs. with Chance. Evers. Tinker ana Steinfeldt, or Macks Athletics with McInnis, Collins. Barry and Baker
 The rebuttal was finally put up to us. and we in turn passed It along to Dan Brouthers, who has been q good bit closer to ringside and Who should know.
 Daniel has been on some fair ln- fields himself. He hit .419 for the old Detroit clan of 1887 with a quar- tet embracing Brouthers. Richardson Rowe and White He hit .344 for the Baltimore infield of 1894, Which em- hraced Brouthers. Reitz. Jennings and McGraw. He has played on the best and has seen the others pass in par ade before him year after year
 Why" commented Big Dan, "a choice between Cubs and Athletics for the greatest infield? They were both good and the Athletics are stlll in harness But neither ranks as
 the best-not for me when I think Of that Boston infield of 1897 with Fred Penney at first. Bobby Lowe at second. Herman Long at short and Jimmy Collins at third.
 This is the one greatest infield of the game-the best combination Of batting and fielding power, brains. speed, and smoothness. It has them all beaten. and I doubt if its equal will ever be gathered together again. There wasn't an angle of the game at which they were not stars. All four batted above .315. with fielding averages around $50. They worked without a slip-without a break-and l in all the time l watched them play I never saw even a touch of bone head work. There was no angle of the game at which all four were not stars They may have had no more
 power than the Athletics four and
 but little more smoothness than the Cubs. but in the combination of all things that go to make up perfect infield machine they must be set out in front of the others with something to spare. Penney. Lowe. Long and Collins-ask anyone who saw this four in their prime whether or not I'm right?'

PUTS ONE
 WAY OVER FENCE
Snch Batting Never Before Seen in Local Vineyard. Fielding of the Locals Was of Much Steadier Variety

Phoenix 10; Tempe. ,. That's the story
 Away back wonder when most of Inc 1000 fans who attended the base ball game on the old town lot yester- day afternoon. were in the fourth and fifth readers, they used to read of the story of Little Peterkin,' who found q rusty cannonban on the battlefield of Families. Taking the bullet to his old "grandaddy'' he be- gan to ask questions about the req son why that thing happened to be where it was. After all the explain ing was done about the only thing Little Peterlin" could remember was that it was glorious victory" Along in the dim vision of the years that are to come some little chunk of-a youngster is going to come roll ing d soft round Ieather-cOvered something from out the back yard of someone's home down in the neigh borhood of Third street and Grant. and in response to the many ques tions the little fellow asks he will go. away with a glimmering idea of a great battle between the PhOeni- clans and the Tempests on Grant Field upon the good day of August 21. 1913, but about all the youngster will remember will be but it was a glorious victory"
 And it was a glorious victory at that with the new timber in the Phoenix lineup. the Tempests were driven to the wall and finally s2alped ana the mangled remains left to dry in the sun after nn2e glorious inn iugs. Of the pastime that stretched through one hour and forty five min utes of yesterday afternoon, and at it's close 1000 saturated and satisfied fans left the grandstand with peans of praise upon their lips for the local mana cement that has at last gotten together what looks like a winning combination.
 The leader of the newcomers is not newcomer. He is a Phoenix boy who had a hOmec oning yester- day to the tune of eight strikeOuts, one assist that was beaut three glorious hits out of four imes up, three timely tallies one of which he ran through himself and the other two in which he was assisted by confident ma es, applause from the grandstand every time he made his appearance, that good cd contrel dt every angle Cf the game, and all that after riding from the tot and oily city of Bakersfield so as to get here yesterday morning. without sleep since the time he got up yesterday morning to prepare to come here But it was worth the sacrifice, if the plaudits of fellOWtoWnsmen mean anything.

Governor Oddie and Warden
Dickerson do not seem to know the
extent of the resources Of their
own state. Recently when they
deemed it expedient to buy a
herd of cattle for the prison farm
they went to California for the
stock. only to find that the best
strains of cattle were owned in
their state. Had they paused long
enough to give the subject more
than cursory attention they would
have learned from literature of
the governors pet publicity bureau
that the best herds Of the agri.
cultural college were donated by a
farm in Elko county, Nevada, and
that there are lot more of the same

HUMAN INTEREST INCIDENT

Last evening a pathetic human
interest incident was witnessed
on Carson Street which wildly
touched the better side of nature
of those who were present. An
aged mother has been in this city
for some days awaiting the release
of her on from the State P%eniten-
tiary. His time expired yesterday
and last evening he was brought
to town in the police auto.
In front of the Park Hotel the
gray haired mother had been anx-
iously waiting for some time all
e~xpectant. When her son stepped
to the sidewalk, she embraced
him with tears of joy, such as
only a mother ever sheds. stream
ing down her pale and wrinkled
cheeks, then all of a sudden she
collapsed falling into a dead faint,
overcome by this event in her life.
Tender assistance from bystand-
ers was given and in course of
time she revived sufficiently to be
escorted to her apartments.
The people are from Chicago
and a couple of years ago came 10
this coast for the benefit of the
lady's health. The son, a we'll APP
pearing young man. drifted to
Goldield in search of employment.
While there he was approached by
a stranger who gave him a lot of
stolen jewelry to sell offering one
half the proceeds. Ignorant and
innocent of crime, the young man
proceeded to sell the loot openly,
anywhere he could find q purchas.
er.
The mar who stole the iewelry
was never apprehended. The boy
was arrested and although the story
he told was accepted as the truth,
he was convicted as an accomplice
and selling stolen goods and senteuL-
ed to a year in prison.
He served his time, was released
last evening and this morning he
and his old mother started for
their home in Chicago. Thus wa:
