the first five pitchers in the league, la
bored in 267 1-3, while Mitchell took part in
only 217 rounds.
This quintet in the 1913 season worked
in 1460 1-3 innings, about 164 full games.
This is 10 more than the American league
schedule calls for. Maybe there would
be two or three tie games but still this
total is more than any club played during
the 1913 campaign in the American league.
In this total of innings, these five star
pitchers. the leaders in the American
league, allowed 1893 bingles a good many
less than one per inning.
Then 372 tallies We're counted off them
during the season, 264 Of this total being
earned. The greatest number of runs
came off Scott. who was found for 90.
Russell allowed SO to cross the pay-off
station; Cicotte, II; Mitchell, 56, and john
son 81.
The earned runs off the quintet were
the following: Johnson, AZ; Cicotte. AZ.
Russell. 65; Scott, a., and Mitchell. AZ,
The combined average for the five is /. y

group were soon on their way to the
grounds. Immediately upon arriving
at the grounds the funmaking began.
Stakes we're driven for the horse shoe
game, ropes we're tied to the strong
limbs Of the trees for swinging and
the fun was on. Not one thing &C.
Cured during the day to mar the fun
OF any one. All through the woods,
all day long. the merry, jolly laugh Of
the boy and girl could he heard-the
sweetest music that human ear ever
listened to.
At noon the good ladies present
spread the neatly laundered table
linen In long rows on the ground and
the good things to eat were placed
thereon. The children were called In
and none of them hesitated In coming.
When once seated at the table they
ate as they played. Dinner over Ice

TIE FORTHCOMING NATIONAL
RAPrTEr CONVENTION.

Nashville, Tenn.-Thers win be ne
spectators and visitors On The floor Of
the National Baptist Convention proper
during the sessions Of that body in
this city from Septembsr 18th to the
22nd. The gallery has been reserved
for then. This information comes from
President Norris and Secretary 3. b.
Hudson after they had made . careful
examination Of the Ryan Auditorium
where the sessions win be held. They
state that it viii be possible to seat the
delegations by states on the lower door
and this will give the gallery space to
visitors. President Norris states that
the new constitutional amendment
which provides that each messenger
pay a fee of $500 will keep an I'M
usually large throng of the main floor
and will assist in the expediting Of
business, as only official delegates who
have qualified and whose qualifications
can be vouched for by the official board
viii be recognized by the chair. In adj
dition to this, it is stated that only
ehairmen and secretaries of the various
boards will have space upon the plat
form and this will do away with the
time honored custom Of having one-half
the delegates of the convention seated
on the platform. According to the in
depreciation of this order, it is under
stood that only the Womans' Board,
the Foreign Mission Publishing, Bene-
fit, Home Mission, Educational and b.
Y. p. L. Boards, with their ehairmen,
Secretaries and elective officers, will
have space and desks on the platform. If
this order is carried out, it will be n
long step towards organizing the con-
ventiOn along progressive lines. Seere-
tary Hudson states that as soon as ar
rangement of the state delegations
could be made, notice would be given
through the National Baptist Union
Review, together with a diagram Of
the lower floor and gallery of the audi
forum. This will be done next week
and will give ample time before the
delegations begin to arrive from their
respective homes to attend the eonven-
tion.

MISS SUSIE THOMPSON IS EN-
DEAVoRrNG TO APPEAL THE
CASE OF HER BROTHER,
GEORGE THOMPSON.


George Thompson, who was con-
vieted a few weeks ago in the United
States District Court, in this city and
found guilty Of being a white SLAYER,
has had hard time of it since he mar
ried l5-year-old White girl last fall.
The girl and her mother resided in
this city, but the wedding ceremony
was performed in Michigan.
Shortly after the wedding they fell
into the clutches of the law and they
were brought back to this city. In
time, after being indicted by the Cook
County grand jury, Judge William F.
Cooper discharged him and Judge Jesse
Baldwin annuIled the marriage.
Then he was indicted by the Federal
grand jury as a White SLAYER, which
seems to be a case of race or color
prejudice, as he had married the girl in
good faith, with the consent of her
mother who, later On, for some cause or
other changed her mind in that re-
spect.
His sister, Miss Susie Thompson,
who is taking care Of his three young
children who were born to his first
wife who died four years ago, is en-
deavoring to raise enough money to ap-
peal his case.
Those desiring to aid her should ad-
dress all contributions to $500 LaFay-
