opinion that the player had
rotten" year and it can not see
where there Is any call to pay
over the bonus. Result: A fierce
argument and the player doesn't
get his extra $500.
From that time on he is of lit
tie use to the club. He would bet
ter be traded or sold He is sore
over what he considers rank
treatment.
There are many cases Of this
kind every year. The only way to
put q stop to these chickering's Is
TO pass a law preventing the Of
fering Of bonuses.
7 Asst season the management
IL of the St. Louis Nationals
promised Larry Mclean a bonus
Of $500 if he abstained from malt,
spirituous and vinous liquors dur
ing the 1918 brush.
Larry was on the wagon all
season, but in the middle of the
season was transferred 10 New
York Chief Meyers was on the
injured list and Larry. by his good
catching, prevented the pennant
from slipping from McGraw. At
the close of the season Larry
wrote TO the Cards about the 5000
bonus. The reply came quick:
we don't pay bonuses to play
ers OF rival teams"
Then he went to President
Hampstead, and received another
blunt answer:
1--WE never promised you a bo-
nus of $500 last spring, because
you weren't with US"
= ONNIE MACK says he did not
leave Ty Cobb off his all-star
team for the reason that he did
not pick one. He is quoted as
saying;
81 would not pick such a. team
for publication, as do not believe
in stirring up trouble among
players. and l think picking an
aI-star team is foolish business.
III I picked such a team, Ty
Cobb most certainly would have
been my first choice for the out
field. never allow personal feel
ings to interfere with business,
nor do | allow them TO prevent
me from giving O. player his just
due"

n TANAGER M'GRAW has surely
MI one good friend in Philadel-
phia, and Connie Mack is the
man.
At the banquet given the other
night in Philadelphia to the Athletics
and to do considerable celebrating on
account of the victory of the Mack
men over the Giants, Connie in his
speech took occasion to laud John j.
McGraw as a most worthy rival and
to otherwise praise him for having
the same ideals of craftsmanship that
have made Mack himself famous, and
living up to them.
Connie Mack is one Of those rare
kind of fellows who never gloat over
his defeated opponents. He sympa
thiZes with them and is magnanimous
enough to accord his rivals all the
credit that Is their due.
Not that the Giants had a whole lot
OF credit coming to them. but what
there was Connie found out and spoke
about.
Surprise to Quakers.
The Athletics managers praise of
McGraw must have come as some
what of a shock to some Of the 500
guests at the banquet, for the Giants
leader is looked upon by the majority
of Quaker City fans as being a cross
between an Intentional dlsturber of
Quakertown peace and a New York
gunman.
There has been heretofore nothing
said in Philadelphia about McGraw
that has not been to his discredit. His
well-known aggressiveness and ex-
two MI, l,ae, hna 1,Y
described as rowdyism. pluguglyism,
muggyism and in fact about every
thing that Philadelphia fans can con-
coct in their brains while in the throes
of a close race during a baseball sea-
son.
1t was only last summer that Nc
Graw and his players were followed
by bowling mob of frantic Philadel-
phians from the ball park to the de-
pot, and pelted with stones.
1t is therefore quite a pleasure as
well as new and unexpected de-
parture that Someone there has been
man enough to come out publicly and
tell about McGraw's good traits.
Thanks Due to Mack.
Connie Mack is, therefore, entitled
to our congratulations and also our
thanks, which we hasten to extend,

lions between the Giants and Phillies.
And I can express nothing more re-
ciprocally than to express the wish
that the Phillies will again finish sec
ond to the Giants in next season 3
race for the National League PEN
nant.
The Athletics got their best adver-
tisement when McGraw mentioned
that the present worlds champions
would be white elephant on their
owners hands. This remark was

A TLANTA is the BEST BASEBALL

We made that statement a few
times. also in capital letters, during
the attendance competition with Bir-
mingham in the last few weeks of the
season.
We now submit Judge Kkyxnau gh's
figures in proof.
We are not running away with any
wild ideas, because Atlanta had a
good ball club last year, and made a
rousing finish that brought out some
prodigious crowds.
D UT allowing for all OF that, and
- taking into consideration the fact
that 1918 was Slack year in base
ball everywhere. Auanta's average of
1850 persons to the game looks
mighty big for a town of Atlanta's
size-or q bigger town.
An average Of 1000 persons to the
game is considered good, out in the
American Association. which has
Kansas City, and Minneapolis,

After Railroad Thieves.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 24.-One
of the measures passed at this session
of Congress makes it a felony to break
the seal of a railroad car containg in
terstate or foreign shipments of
freight, express or baggage, or to en-
ter such car with intent to steal, or
to steal, conceal or by fraud or decep-
ton obtain from any railroad car, sta
tion house, depot or platform, any
goods or chattels which are part of an
interstate or foreign shipment of
freight, express or baggage. Break
ing into or stealing any part of the
contents of piece of baggage also
comes under the provisions of the act,
which applies with equal force to any
person who shall buy, receive or have
in his possession any freight, express,
baggage or other goods or chattels SO
stolen, knowing the same to be stolen.
The punishment for these offenses is
a fine up to five thousand dollars or
by imprisonmentup to ten years, or
both, and prosecution may be institut-
ed in any distritt where the crime has
been committed.
The carrying or transporting by a
person of any such freight, express,
baggage or goods or chattels from one
state or territory into another, know
ing it to have been stolen, constitutes
a separate offense for which the same
punishment is prescribed. Prosecu-
tions for such transporting of stolen
property may be instituted in any dis
trict in which the goods or chattels
may have been removed, or into
which they may have been brought
| The making of these acts federal Of
fenses, together with the severity Of
5he punishment provided, is expected
to prevent much crime of this charac
ter, as all offenders have wholesome
fear of United States courts and the
promptness and certainty with which
they mete cut punishment.

determination of Insects.

The warm season will soon be here.
The various insects will again resume
activity. The diseases transmitted by
insects will then begin to reappear.
In this part of the world these diseases
are malaria, borne by the mosquito,
and all Of the diseases transmitted
thru the excreta carried by the fly.
These insects should in SO far as possible
be prevented from free activity. They
should be exterminated. The work
done along this line in the early
springtime is most effective. Each
community should encourage the ex-
termination of both the mosquito. and
the fly.
The mosquito can be killed by kill
ing the wriggler that lives in small
puddles OF water. Whenever possible
should be drained. Water that can
not be drained away should be cover
ed with kerosene or crude oil. The
oil should be placed on the water al
least once in every ten days in order
to replace the oil that evaporated,
and to insure the death of every croT
of wrigglers. ct requires from ten
to twelve days for the eggs to develop
into the mosquito.)
Flies may be killed by destroying
their breeding places. They deposi
their eggs in all manner of filth sucl
as decaying vegetable matter, human
excreta, old rags, papers, etc. Stable
manure is a favorite and an idea
place for their development. Manure
should be cleaned up and hauled ava.
at least twice a week. The premise
should be cleaned once-better twic
"a week.
These simple processes, cleaning
the stable and the premises and put
ting a little oil on all bodies of water
would practically exterminate bot
mosquitoes and flies. Both Of thes
insects are pest in addition 10 thei
disease carrying capacity. Fror
either point OF view it would pay th
community to rid itself Of them.

Dear Mr.. Ake:-Please change the
address Of my paper to Bachman

you now have it.
Mr. Bachman, for whom this street
was named and who is our nearest
neighbor, lived on farm between
Graniteville and Iron Mountain when
he was young, man and while he
does not remember many of the
people who live in that vicinity now,
he can recall the old landmarks vivid
ly and tells us many interesting stories
of life in that country before the rail
road was built
made trip sixteen miles down
the coast to-day, going almost to the
Mexican line, the boundary monu-
ment being easily seen. The recent
fighting in that country did not seem
to disturb the citizens in the little
town of Tia Juana just across the line
from here. There were, however, a
few U. S. soldiers encamped nearby
on California soil and also a small
body of Mexican regulars in the fort
at Tia Juana. The fort is merely a
wall of dobe clay surrounding an old
frame building neither of which APP
pear substantial enough to stop rifle
ball, much less shell or cannon ball.
The soldiers, am told, are paid sc
cents day in Mexico most of which
they spend for damiente. This is dis.

plant and those who have tasted il
say they don't think it is the spinelesi
variety either. The sting in it il

The citizens Of the town all have
little stores with something to sell the
tourists and all Of them excepting th'
Post Office sell liquor, practically M

PEOPLE BEHIND WILSON.
It is an old tradition in congression-
al circles in Washington that Presi-
dent must not interfere" with either
branch of Congress. He may submit
whatever views he may have on a
subject, and recommend the passage
OF any legislation he may desire, but
after that, according to- tradition, he
must sit with hands folded and watch
Legislation which may be highly de-
sirable to the people, be peacefully
chloroformed in committee and pass
into oblivion.
1t is said that Woodrow Wilson il
going to disregard this tradition. This
will be for the public good. The only
ones who will protest win be those
opposed to the progressive ideas that
Woodrow Wilson stands for.
The President will be sustained BY
popular sentiment. The people, re-
publicans as well as democrats, have
for years been demanding a square
deal at the hands of their public ser
wants in Washington. They still de
mand it. They don't care whether !
