STRIVE TO SMASH RECORDS

sacks, Messenger is watching keenly
for an opportunity to better Jimmy
Johnston's mark of 81 bases, a South
ern league record. With Al battles to
be played, Bob must steal 26 sacks.
While the speed merchant has regis
tered just .5S bases per game, slight
increase will send him over the mark.
While Messenger is likely to cast aside
the 1912 record, he will strive at Il
handicap. With the Barons fighting for
the lead, he will not attempt the dar-
ing chances of the past and the ma
jority of the games are to be played at
Rickwood. For some unknown reason,
Messenger has succeeded better on for
eign fields But the wonderful fielder
is striving for the mark and may
reach 1t.
With Eddie Mcdonald following him,
Bob has one of the cleverest exponents
of the blocking art to aid him. By
blocking throws, worrying the catcher
and swinging wildly to delay the peg,
Mcdonald has been OF invaluable SER
vice to Messenger. But withal, the
catchers Just can't head the speed de-
| mon when he is started and prospects
are bright for a triumph.

Should Prough secure the battle over
the Volunteers, he will probably have
to face either Covaleski or Kroh for
the tenth straight. AS the mighty Pole
is the possessor of the same mark, he
will probably request Elberfeld to let
him defend the record. Should such
be the case, the fiercest battle of the
year may ensue.
But the Baron chieftain is careful to
use his premier hurler. AS known,
Prough cannot be worked often and
bear up under the strain and Moles-
worth will not work him out of his
turn. However. he will probably pitch
seven or eight more games. 1t is be-
lieved that Otto Hess mark for con-

ELLSWORTH WILL
CALL THE PLAYERS
FARMED TO MINORS
Herndon, Sloan, Fittery and
Lage Will Rejoin the
Barons in the
Spring

Manager Molesworth announced last
night that he would register a recall of all
Barons placed out on options with minor
league clubs. By. the recall, Outhelder
Herndon of the Albany South Atlantic
club, Pitchers Tod Sloan and F'ittery of
the Evansville Central league club and
Catcher Lage of the Ottawa Canadian
league club will report for spring prac-
tice next year.
On August 10 the clubs holding options
on players must forward checks to Sec
retary Farrell, and at the same time
notify the clubs of the action. While
Herndon and the pitchers are doing nice
ly. none will be recalled at the close of
the season.
The chubby Baron leader believes that
Mayer will surely advance to the White
Sox from the letters received indicating
that that action will be taken. No intima-
ton has been received on the others on the
Baron club.
The team left last night for Nashville,
where the first game will be played this
afternoon. Charlie Carroll Is expected to
rejoin the club on Tuesday or Wednes-
CAV.

The WHITE HOUSE WEDDING
PLANS

Mrs. Woodrow Wilson. her daught-
ers and her secretaries have peen
working on the list since they return
ed from Cornish, n. H. They have
faced rather difficult problem. The
president and Mrs. Wilson believe
that the wedding should be modest
as that of girl should be who always
has taken more interest in home af-
fairs than in society, and yet the OFF,
'cial position of the family demands
that IL be more. Just where to draw
the lines has been a question.
Miss Wilson. in addition to arrang-l
ing the details of her wedding is di-
recting the furnishing and decoration
of her future home, in Williamstown,
Mass. where they win live after jan
uary, when Mr.. Sayre will sever his
connection with the Office of District
Attorney Whiteman, in New York,
and take up his new duties as assist
ant to President Harry A. Garfield. of
Williams college. Mr.. Sayre has leas-
ed the cottage of Prot. William E.
McElfresh in one of the best residen-
tial section of Williamstown. 1t is
new and has all the modern improv-
ments.
While it is Mrs. Wilson's wish that
there be as little discussion of the
wedding as possible and nothing about
the personnel of the wedding party is |
give out here. it is understood that
Miss Margaret Wilson will be her sis |
ter's chief attendant and Miss Flea |
nor Wilson will be one of. the four
bridesmaids. The brides gown and
those for her attendants are being
made in New York. 1t is learned that
American beauty pink is to be the
color note of the gowns. of the brides
attendants. Theis dresses are to be
fashioned of the softeest of pink chif-
fon and satin with a sort of cutaway
pannier tunic They will wear small
pink and gold lace hats with transpa-
rent wired gold lace brims. That worn
by the chief attendant will be a
deeper shade of pink.

year at the Marion Hardware Com

Many people who saw him. when told
that he was "a real live man." were
still unconvinced and went away be-
lieving him to be dummy. Accord
ing to a recent issue Of the Tampa
Tribune the Kansas City Star says
that the dummy in question, Jay Tur-
ner, of New York, is now on visit TO
his brother in that city, and that for
nine years he has been impersonatlng
a wax figure. He has exhibited In
show windows all over this country,
and for hours at time he has not
moved a muscle nor batted an eye
lash, while hundreds of curious per-
sons peered at him through the win
dows and adopted all sorts of devices
to make him laugh or lose his pose.

1t is understood that this report
recommends the building of a two
hundred foot wide canal from Lake
Okeechobee to the St. Lucie inlet.
Not only viii this canal serve the pur-
pose Of drainage, but will be used as
ship canal, so that vessels can enter

Another provision is for an electric

WAR!

War is Objectionable, of course. by
reason of its horrors.
Naturally, as we advance in civili-
cation, the horrors of war undergo a
species of refinement. Our remote an
cestors met in hand-to-hand conflict
and beat one another up with stones
and clubs. Then the sword was in
vented and war became in a stricter
sense butchery. Gunpowder made a
battle still more like shambles.
In our days the conditions of war
are such that there is apt to be less
blood shed. But the horrors are not
|sensibly abated. If an old horror or
so has seen its passing, there are
plenty of new horrors to take its
place.
Among these the pension system
looms sinister. In modern warfare it
is the horror of horrors.
In the past fifty years the United
States of America have fought a
big war and a little war. The hun
dreds of millions paid out in pensions
during that time are almost beyond
counting, and they might vastly bet
ter have been cast into the sea. Their
expenditure in the form of gratuities
has been a blasting influence publicly
and privately. Nothing has done so
much to debase our ideals, to make
venal and sordid our aspirations. to
promote corrupt practices, to infect,
in short. our national life with the
principles of decay. 1t has been a
riot of grab. and in the name of pub
| lie gratitude--that is perhaps the un-
kindest cut of all.
| The reward of merit is entirely a
fine thing and in theory, no doubt.
1.-THE pension system aimed at nothing
else. But in practice it goes woefully
agley. No sooner are brave soldiers
remembered by the nation than the
skulkers and maligners press forward
clamorons. and by the devious arts
of petty politics procure themselves
to be remembered, too. At their in
stance the calendars of congress have
been burdened year after year with
special bills in behalf of claimants
too scandalously unmeritorious to
come in under the general law, and If
ever a bill failed of passage 1t was a
wonder. In all the history of popular
government there is not another chap
ter so rotten.
Those uncounted hundreds of, mil
lions were not paid over in satisfac-
ton of the country's just debt to its
defenders. No such exalted motive
actuated the pension policy. They
were paid over to buy votes. They
constitute the most gigantic corrup-
ton fund the world has ever known.
Who can doubt the effect? Who shall
say. that the pension system is not
wars chiefest horror?-Ramsey Ben
son. in Life.
