THURSDAY CARD
OF CITY COPPERS

Everything is in a state of unrest
as the time draws near for the
baseball game between the East Side
Cops and bluecoats of the West Side
at Front and Union on Thursday af-
ternoon. Rivalry has approached the
point az which rival managers watch
for triokery.
Manager Johnson of the East Side
team, denies that he has given up all
hopes of winning the game. II Is
said that he has awakened to the des-
perate situation and is sizing up the
situation like a professional league
manager
According to the latest report from
the spies for the West Side, Johnson
is trying to trade Sam Gamble TO
Manaser Jake" Payne. for an old
catchers' glove which 'Lige" wants
The occasion will be the annual
outing day of the COPS and the base
ball game in itself will be well worth
the price of admission. The field
sports will be hotly contested and
the committee in charge has arrang.
ed several surprises to be pulled of
during the afternoon and which are
calculated to arouse the spectators.
The proceeds from the games are
for the police pension fund, consid
cred a worthy cause, and IL is claimed
no one will make a mistake by going
TO The park on Thursday and encour-
aging the policemen by their pres
ence and applause.

MASCOT PIN
FOR LOVERS OF
GOOD SMOKE

In reference to tobacco, the high
cost Of living" problem, which is at
present occupying the minds of the
American public, finds no foothold-
especially since the advent OF Mascot
tobacco. AS an instance, the manu-
facturers of Mascot claim that in SELL
ing it for sc they are giving to the
smoking public fist as much in guam
tity and quality as is provided by the
famous 10c Burley tobaccos
In addition to this, they argue that
their method of packing Mascot in
moisture-proof pouches is an ideal
method, both in point Of convenience
and ability to retain the original
freshness of the tobacco. To quote
them: Mascot is really a 10c propo-
sition at a sc expenditure.
To support these arguments, and to
induce the smokers of this city to find
out for themselves that their claims
are justified, the makers of Mascot
have arranged with local dealers TO
give free, for a few days only, a
handsome Mascot Dog" scarf-pin to
each purchaser Of a sc pouch Of
Mascot.
These scarf-pins are sure to be in
great demand.

TEft's Views or Intervention.
President Taft and other officials OF
the administration consider "interven-
ton In Mexico merely an euphemism
for war with Mexico.
Here Is the Presidents view OF the
magnitude OF the problem:
With the familiarity We have had
in the carrying on OF a war In the
Philippines and in Cuba. no one with
a sense OF responsibility 20 the Amer
lean people would involve them IN
the almost amending burden and
thankless task OF enforcing peace

would necessarily all turn against "A,
