Sporting News: The death of Jerry
Harrington at Keokuk. Iowa, will
awaken the memory of the older gen.
Grafton of fandom to the time when
the name OF Harrington was as IA
miliar as that of Bresnahan or Shalk,
or shall we say Cady--it is hard to
pick present day catcher, in fact,
who is so well known as was Jerry
Harrington in his day. Clarkson and
Kelly. Foutz and Bushong, Rhines and
Harrington, Young and Criger, Math-
ewson and Meyers, Wood and Cady-
batteries of sweet memory-and there
were nor are none greater than
Rhines and Harrington in the minds
of many fans, though comparisons are
never conclusive.
That battery flashed across the ma
5or league armament in 1890. 1t was
brief in its glory, but brilliant. Per-
haps it was Rhines more than Har-
rington that made It famous, for 1890
was a great year with Bill Rhines He
led the National League in about all
departments pitcher could, except
in percentage of games won, and that
was because the Reds were no better
than fourth place team. He gave the
lowest percentage OF hits, lowest per.
centage of runs and topped in fielding
his position. Fans In those days said
Harrington made Rhines the pitcher
he was. They had worked together in
the minors and were coupled up in the
majors-a star combination.
! Harrington had but one big year
for though he and his battery mate
did good work in 1891 the Cincinnati
team was almost tailender and their
merit got little recognition. The
next year he went to Louisville, but
his legs went back on him and bio
soon retired.
Harrington's death was surrounded
by sad circumstances. He was struck
fcn the head by drunken negro in g
saloon fight and died from the effects
OF the blow. He had not prosperee
and died poor, though not in want
His friends describe him as a mar
generous to fault and his own worst
enemy. Peace be with him.

ed here against the Giants, the college
inf1eld and In fact the entire team dis
played a remarkable knowledge of in
side baseball. The team work was I'M
usual for college nine. The infield
rose splendidly to several sensational
occasions and Gle pitched so well
that the scouts have been closely

The staid old English sporting
journals are saying that the turn down
of the first challenge by Sir Thomas
Upton was the most unmanly act
In the history of yacht racing" Those
are harsh words. Stranger, and unwise,
withal. for it conveys the impression
that the stings OF many former vic

know that Sir Thomas. grand sports
man that he is, does not cherish any
such opinions.

CASES IN COURT.
Dabbs Case DrOpped-S2OO Verdict
Against Southern RailWay-Eman-
uel & Company Sued.

In the Court of Common Pleas
Thursday the case against Emanuel &
Company was in progress when court
adjourned for dinner. This was a
suit brought by c. ID. Waldrop of Due
West on note alleged to have been
given him by G. l.. Emanuel the lat
ter part of December, 1911. The
amount sued for was $1,000 with in
terest at seven per cent. The defense
alleged that Waldrop, who at one
time worked for Emanuel & Company
and later was in business at Due West
with a company, owed $500 in settle
ment for the business which he had
bought out at Due West, and that
Emanuel & Company had never given
Waldrop the note in question, at least
Emanuel, who was, at the time it was
given, sole owner of the business
known as Emanuel & Company. 1t
was also alleged that if c. L. Emanuel
gave the note for Emanuel & Com
pany, he was not authorized to do so
and he himself used the money which
it was alleged was borrowed from the
plaintiff and did not apply the same
to the use of Emanuel & Company.
1t was further stated that if he gave
the note at the time dated it was null
and void, as at that time he was not
in physical condition to attend to
business of any sort.
At the conclusion Of the testim ony
Mr.. w. Nj. GraydOn for the plaintiff
made Il motion for the direction of a
verdict, but the motion was refused
and the attorneys commenced upon
their arguments.
The case of Mary Murray and ESau
Murray against the Southrn Railway
Company for $3.50 DANA ges for per
sonal injuries resulted in 3. verdict for
$500 for the plaintiffs.
The case of T.. w. Dabbs against c.
Walter Belts and others was dropped
Wednesday afternoon because of the
fact that the complaint had not been
drawn up in the proper manner for
the suit. This was case agaist the

BIRD SEASON OPENS SATURDAY.
Plenty OF Partridges Reported This
Season and Hunters Will Have
Good Time.

The open season for partridge
shooting begins Saturday, November
18th, and as partridges are reported
to be plentiful this season, it is prob
able that the hunters, especially those
who get an early season start will
have a hunters picnic.
However, there are one or two
things that the hunters should remem-
ber If they wish to avoid getting in
trouble. One is that it is unlawful to
hunt on any PERSONS land without his
permission and the hunter can be
punished as trespasser, if he does
so. Anot .er thing to be remembered
is that twenty-five partridges is the
limit Of a bag in one day under the
law of this State and there is a fine
for every bird over that number. 1t
has been reported that some of the
hunters about town have not waited
until the season opens. but have done
some partridge hunting before the
open season arrived.

FIRE AT EDENS' GARAGE,
Belonging to Ncill O'DOn-
nell Badly Damaged.


An automobile belonging to Mr..
Neill O'Donnell was badly damaged by
fire Tuesday afternoon before the fire
was eXtinguished by the chemical en-
CINE. This was one case where the
chemical engine came in very effec =.
lively. for had it not been for this, it
is probable that the water from the
hose would have spread the fire in
stead of extinguishing it.
The fire occurred when the car was
cranked in the garage. 1t backfred
and one of the men working on the
machine attempted to smother the firs
which burst out. AS he was doing
this, 1t is understood that the driver
of the car threw bucket of water on
the fire, which only served to spread
IT and enlarge the flame, which
spread all over the car. Had it not
been for the prompt arrival of the
chemical engine it is probable that the
fire would have been disastrous one.
The damage to the car, it is under
stod, was covered by insurance.
