BASEBALL PLAYERS

Joe Kelley Recites Incident in

Baseball can be made gentleman

this Lord Chesterfield stuff. not any,
despite the efforts of writer's and mag

Years ago Baltimore and Boston
and they were some bail clubs-tried to
play a polite. courteous game, to see
how it would work. Both teams agreed
to try out the polished conversation

The newspapers had been criticisins
the players for roughness and bad
language. and we wanted to prove we
could be decent.
The first half inning was lovely.
Even when Tim Hurst called a strike
on Tom Mccarthy that was a foo,
high, there was no outbreak.
Wasn't that ball a trifle high. Mr.
Umpire?' Tom asked, all courtesy. q

We had three on the bases and two

a dash for the plate on what he thought

recovered the ball, but as he dove for

and spilled him ten feet away.
"Out for interferenceI" yelped Hurst
and then everybody arrived at the
plate in a bunch.
"'You Irish loafer' shrieked Reitz,

You red-headed stiff.' roared the
Boston catcher at Jennings. 1 ought

Teen has a clear lead for the 19l:
championship in High School football
today by virtue of getting the breaks In
a win over Western by score Of IL tc
:. The Manual Trainers proved TO be
the better opportunists, won the game
after trying hard all the while and
made good. when the time came. West
ems failure is attributed to the fact
that "Untz" Brewer could not show tC
form, for after being thrown heavily in
the early part of the game he was
pr3 ctiCalIy useless.
There is no discredit cast upon the
Red and White today. for the team
was greatly outweighed. and. while
showing better defense work on the
whole than the Red and Gray eleven,
failed to measure up in its offense.
The score might have read. Tech, s;
Western. 0, had everyone been on the
job. on one occasion the Western quar-
ter went out OF his way to shoot pass
into the wind on his own 20-yard line'
with the result that Ochsenreiter scored
a touchdown. Again, O'Brien, Western
substitute end. might have been de-
tected as being ineligible to receive the
forward pass which scored Western
lone touchdown.
On another occasion. when Roger was
practically thrown in attempting to
catch the pass, the official within ten
feet of him might have seen the viola
ton apparent to those on the sidelines.
AT any rate, Tech proved to be one
touchdown better than Western in the
forty minutes Of play. and that Is the
margin made by Hardell, Steed, ana
Ochsenreiter in three long rusnes IN
the third quarter.
Tech had Western in danger all our
ing the contest, the Manual Trainers
being greatly aided by the wind ana
some mediocre work at directing the
Western team. In the first half Teen
forced the ball To Westerns goal line
no less than four times, only to be re-
pulsed. Brewer failed to boot the bail
far enough to keep Tech off the brink
of a touchdown, and when the first haLt
was over both teams stood at tic'
The hardest sort OF defense was put

HEALTH AND GOOD LOOKS
Proper FITTING Of Corset Means Ap-
Propriate Care Of Both Those Inn
portant Items.

Various doctors and artists have
been once again discussing the veXed
question as to whether women should
wear corsets, and they have once
again come to the inevitable conclu-
sion that il they wear the right cor
sets they are considerably improved
by them If ever the wasp waist as
serts itself again among US It will be
something to grumble at, but the cor
set of today is really beneficial rather
than harmful, If 1t is properly made
and properly worn. 1t may be that
we ought not to require the support
OF corsets, but life in these days is
artificial and surely it is better to
have good figure by means of a good
corset than to have bad figure with
out it.
Just the same, good many women
are not sufficiently careful about their
corset, and then they wonder why
their gowns never look well. Better
a cheap readymade blouse robe on a
good corset than an elaborate frock
over shapeless one. 1t will not only
be better from the point Of view of
health and carriage. but it will even
give an air to the gown. French wom-
en- have built up their reputation for
dressing well, not on their taste in
gowns, but by their attention to the
corset.

Stolen Hair Means Death.

In many parts of the modern world
the believer in witchcraft still gets
hold of hair, nail parings and so forth
from an enemy's head and hands, and

And universal folklore reveals the con-

an enemy from getting at them. Aus

TO TEST S. ERlFF's CLAIM.
Kiowa County Commissioner viii
Appeal Case to Supreme Court.

Hobart.-The case of Louis Terry,
sheriff, against the county commits
sioners, in which the sheriff was given
judgment few days ago in the dis
trict court for S144 for service rend-
cred as jailor, the county commission
ers have decided on an appeal to the
supreme court, in event the motion
for a new trial now pending should
be overruled by Judge Tolbert
In absence of a jailor the sheriff
claimed under an old statute, a dollar
a day as compensation for performing
the duties of that office. The commits
sioners refused payment and Terry
instituted suit, obtaining judgment for
the full amount Of his claim. AS there
is doubt in the minds of the commits
sioners as to the intention of the legis-
lature to permit sheriffs to draw this
additional compensation, for Jail
duties, the commissioners have agreed
to appeal the case in order that the
question may be definitely and finally
settled
