"HERE are few of the best bats
men in the big leagues who use
the same model of bat, so 1t
is without doubt the man behind the
bludgeon instead of the bludgeon it
self to whom the credit is due for the
smashing Of fences and the conse-
quent jollifcation of the assembled
fans-or their deep dark despair-as
the case may be.
A player can consider himself a
star batter from the time his name is
stamped by the manufacturer on the
old wagon tongues"
From the time Cap Arson was lead
ing the league in batting year after
year the most successful batters
have had their hobbies as to the style
of bat they should use, and they
would not be satisfied with any other
kind Why, l have known Arson to
have as many as so bats at his home
in Chicago every winter, and he
nursed them as carefully as a dog
fancier would pet dog. Arson would
scrape them, oil them and hang them
up to dry out, with the room where
they were kept at the exact tempera-
ture that he thought was proper to
get them in perfect shape for the
coming season.

A limb of a tree might have been

= Sam Thompson, one of the longest
drivers of a baseball who ever played
the game, is said to have been en-
gagged for the Indianapolis club in
1884 through Dan OLeary, then man
ager of the Hoosier club, seeing him
Wallop a ball mile or so by picking
up and using an old wheel spoke, the
only other bat having been broken.
Sam lived in a small town a few
miles from indianapolis, and after his
phenomenal clout O'Leary arranged
for Sans club to come to Indianapo-
lis and play an exhibition game. It
was with fear and trembling that
the farmer boys arrived in town. and
they wore theig uniforms all the way.
They drove up to the rear end of the
ball park, back of the center field, and
hitched their horses. Then they
perched themselves in a row on the
back fence waiting to be asked in.
Sam Used Same Old Spoke.
OLeary ran out TO the fence and
had difficulty in getting the country
men to join in the festivities. for the
home team had put up a sizzling pre-
liminary practice. But finally they
were induced to come on to the field.
sam Thompson carried the same
old spoke with which he had made his
home run at home.
Larry McKeon was pitching for In
dianapolis, and Jim Keenan, was
catching. Sam was allowed to use
his spoke, Just as a kid" as the pa

unanimous Endorsement of the Demo-
cratic conferees.

friends and enemies. According to
the administration, 1t carries out
four of the party promises. Tariff re-
form, reduction in the high cost of
living, campaign against the trusts, In
that duties have been taken off of
many trust made article, and the In
come tax.
The measure, consequently, has a
larger Importance than that Of a mere
tariff reform bill, and its effect must
be widespread, both on business and
Industry, and also in connection with
politics. Democratic leaders are con-
fdent that business will suffer no UNI
toward effect; that consumers will be
benefited.

GOOD-BYE AND GOOD-MORROW!

President Taft, good-bye. Prof.
Taft of Yale, here's luck to you.
You were not built for an excel
tive officer, Mr. Taft. You are not
a good judge of people, either singly
or. in mass You filled your cabinet
with men whose cOunsels ceased to
be absurd only when they began to
be vicious; and you ignored the just
demands of an aroused nation for re-
lief from tariff robbery.
Your lack of fitness for the job
made the failures of your admins
tration, Mr.. Taft; and your native
manliness made it's success. For you
did achieve a splendid success at the
last. You have done all that man
can do to avoid Intervention in Mex
leo, and you have so managed that
if intervention comes, the world must
recognize it's justice and necessity.
The American people may thank
their stars that when this trouble
arose, you. Mr.. Taft, had charge OF
the destinies Of the country, and not
your shoot-a-Spaniard-in -the-back
predecessor.
Your conduct in this last and
greatest crisis goes far to atone for
the mistakes which went before.
Nothing in your term of office be-
came you like the manner of your
leaving it, Goodbye and good NOR
row!-Chicago Journal.
