PIRATES SIGN THREE MEN
FROM MINORS AND COLLEGES

PITTSBURG. June 24-Manager
Fred Clarke has signed Fred Kom-
mers, the star outhelder Of the
Springfield team OF the Three /
League. Last week Clarke left on a
mysterious journey, and the object of
his quest was not known until to- day.
Besides Kommers. Infielder Pert, OF
the University of Arkansas, and Out
fielder Earl Topham of Bucknell will
join. the Pirate crew. -

fast-thinking, fast-felding, hard
hitting bunch.
DITTSBURG is the puzzle of the
league. The Pirates do every
thing a ball club should do but win
games. They have a grand looking
pitching staff and a fine set of hitters
but the Bostons nOsed them out by
one run a couple of times last week
They have a slim chance of getting
into the pennant quarrel now. The Pi
rates are bound to climb sooner OF
later, but they will not climb much
higher than third, in my opinion now

As is true of most teams when they
get into a losing streak, all the breaks
have been against the Reds They
have lost several games through close
decisions or lucky catches or hits by
their opponents. The team is a better
one than its standing indicates. do

The leader-enterprise. [volume] (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1912-1915, 1913-02-21

Despite this temporary cloud. Wash
ington WAS yet held in such esteem by
the American people that he was be-
ing urged to accept third term. He
felt. however. that he had sacrificed
enough and was determined to retire
TO well earned repose at Mount Yer
non. 1t was at this time that he issued
his celebrat ted farewell address. which
was published La the Philadelphia Ad-
vertiser in September. 1876.
While this was the beginning Of the
powerful tradition against a third term
in the presidency. it is but just to say
that Washington himself made no ar,
sumeats against a third term. He ex-
blamed that his reasons for withdraw
ing were personal. He would have
taken such a step earlier, but was con
WINGED that it would have been against
public peiicy. Now, however, that diff
fculty had been removed. Washington
says:
II rejoice that the state of your con
Germs. external as we'll as internal. no
longer renders the pursuit OF lnc!lna-
ton incompatible with the sentiment
of duty or propriety and am persuad-
ed whatever Partially may be retain
ed for my services. that in the pres
ent circumstances of our country you
will not disapprove of my determine
ton to retire"
AS though the first president had
prophetic glimpse of the future, the
burden of the farewell address was an
argument for union and a warning
against the perils of partisan division
and passion In the memorable closing
paragraph he said:
Though in reviewing the incidents
of nv administration | am unconscious
of intentional error. ! am nevertheless
too sensible of my defects not to think
it probable that | have committed
many errors. Whatever they may he,
[ fervently beseech the Almighty to
avert or mitigate the evils to which
they may tend. shall also carry with
me the hope that my country Will new
er cease to view them with indulgence
and that. after fortyfve years OF my
life dedicated to its service with up
right zeal the faults of incompetent
abilities will be consigned TO oblivion.

sions of rest.

and was exceedingly brief, only 133
words long. in fact 1t is believed to
be the shortest ever delivered by an
elected president. The address follows
in full:
"Fellow Citizens-l am again called
upon by the voice of my country to eX-
ecute the functions of its chief maGiS-
trate. When the occasion proper for
it shall arrive | shall endeavor to ex-
press the high sense entertain of this

this would cause my private concerns
to suffer very much.
Nevertheless he accepted. In the
election he received every vote of the
electoral college, as before. By this
time the seat of government had been
moved to Philadelphia, where the sec

During the second administration
war was declared between England
and France, and the president and his
advisers were accused of siding with

friends of France as the rankest in

the bitterest attacks ever made on the
