Some three weeks ago Mr.. Joel
s Eager went up to the noun
tains for an outing to do some
work at Miles Ranger Station,
and by way of pastime he killed
a couple of deer, all that was
allowed for one person to kill; this
simulated some of the young
nimrods so that they have gone
up to try their skill in hunting.
Early Saturday morning our
Justice of the Peace, Mr.. Joseph
Fish, started out for Winslow be-
ing called there to hold an inquest
over the body of a man whom the
marshal had killed. Mr.. Fish re-
turned in the evening, having
been gone Is hours and spent 6
hours f n time in his labor in

he lost NC time. He was busy

other Giant has come to the front
with the rapidity Of Fletcher. In fact,

Experience has done wonders for

the 1911 and 1912 worlds series. But

There is warrant for the belief that

Mathewson has never failed to arise

McGraw quickly made up his mind
there were better third basemen In

As a matter of fact. it was generally
supposed that Herzog had been Sc

evidently decided that Fletcher was a

a change that made the Giants cham

RUNYON CAN NOT
DECIDE WHICH
TEAM IS BEST
By Damon Runyon.

n FEW YORK, Oct. s. - Having
IN clearly demonstrated by a Sc
ries Of unique deductions and
comparisons that a worlds series is
impending and that it is a very Sc
rious matter, there is really not much
more that we can say on the subject
without fully exposing our hand. A
recapitulation and close analysis of
our testimony proves conclusively tine
following facts:
Ca) That We do not know who is
going to win.
CO. That We hardly even suspect
anything
The above is confirmed, in part, by
our conscience.
We wish we knew, Of course. We
wish we knew who is going to win
the worlds series just the same as
we wish we knew why King Man
uel's bride left him so fiat. having

Players Do Not Agree, Either.
As a matter Of downright fact, the
only writer's who positively know
which team will win in the coming
disorder are the ball players, and
they do not agree, which makes IT
all the more confusing. Messrs. J..
Tories, Meyers and Richard W. Mar

the New York Giants will he the vic

the very same page with them in col
umns OF comparative equality, but
You never can tell.
That's the whole trouble. You
never can tell. Not for worlds would
MeSsrs Meyers and Narquard or
MesSrs Baker and Collins mislead the
reading public, but there is always
that grave danger Of them misleading
themselves. You never can tell.
Not Much in Figures.
We have tried to solve the problem
by means Of figures. We have taken
a lot OF ones and twos and threes
and showed them around this way and
that, like anybody and mixed EN- up
with decimals and fractions and ad-
jectiyes and such, but they always
came out looking just like ones and
twos and thTees. There are some
people who can take the same figures
and make them lie down. roll over
and speak, which proves that it is not
the figures so much as the handling
of the figures
As we have glibly mentioned be-
fore, the Athletics on paper are
stronger in some respects than the
Giants, and the Giants are stronger,

By Sam Crane.

Jew YORK, oct. Elm sizing up
N the respective merits of the
Giants and Athletics for the
worlds championship it viii be well
to take into consideration that the
Giants are much stronger in the field,
or what is called defensive tactics,
than they have been IN the last two
years.
One reason OF this is that George
Burns is about so per cent superior
to Josh DevOre as guardian of left
/ field Josh was always an uncertain
factor, so much so that Giant root
ers would shake in their boots for
fear the little fellow would pull some
muff or tumble that would result in
disaster.
On ground balls Josh was very
weak II seemed as if he never could
stop a ball scooting at him over the
turf. and many a single was turned
into a triple by his inability to get
his hands in the right place at tho
right time. The sun also bothered
Josh not little, and he was not alb
solutely sure Of any difficult fly that
went out into his territory.
It was Josh. though. who sent in
the majority Of runs the Giants made
against the Athletics in 1911. but
still there was always a feeling that
he was not dependable.
But still it can not be denied that
Josh almost invariably made good in
important series, especially against
the Athletics, but the form he showed
| then he did not carry last year or
this.
Burns Real Star.
~
the best outfielders in the country
bar none He makes easy work out
Of fly balls that Devore would hardly
try for, on account of his poor judg-
ment Burns starts after fly much
quicker than DeVOre. and being, too,
just as fast a runner and a sure
catcher, any ball that is hit out into
Burns field can be considered as
fielded.
On ground balls Burns IS nearly as
good, If not quite so, as an infielder,
and a he can throw with great speed
and deadly accuracy, he viii be in
every way an Improvement on De-
wore
Burns while he has not batted con-
sistently this season. still the many
batting spurts he has had gives him
more hits than any other man on the
Giant team. While he was enjoying
his spurts with the bat he would
stick" with the best, but unfor-
tunately his sIumps we're almost as
frequent as his rallies. and at those
times he would fan off most disas-
trously
Sure to Make Good in Series,
There is a good chance, though. that
he may accumulate another squirt
during the big series. and If he is
that fortunate. ! look for him to be
| one of the heroes Of the coming con
tests He il sure to make good In
the field and with Snodgrass and
Murray, both of whom have improved
in their work as outiielders. ! am OF
the opinion that the Giants's outfield
| has a shade on the Mdckmen.
At another point, and a most i'm
portant one, have the Giants also
shown decided Improvement and
that is at shortstop. Arthur Fletcher
from being a rather doubtful propo-
sition in 1911 and 1912 has developed
into one Of the stars In his position.
His work this season has been SEN
sational and his many startling stops
and ground covering ability have
made him famous And il is not in

do will hardly compensate for the
Giants lack OF the punch.
Luck has figured largely in all
past worlds series, as 1t is bound to
in such short series. Luck was
surely against the Giants last fall,
although the games the Giants
lost were due to costly errors. Bakers
home runs we're lucky, too, In 1911,
for any player who gets a circuit
clout is very lucky and we all know
how Bakers homers figured in the
1911 proceedings. This is not writ

due to Baker. and he is a wonder

lucky, made by any player.

 2i Years in Pen

Walnut Ridge, April 5.-Circuit court came to a close today after a continuous grind of four weeks. Today has been spent in hearing motoins. This afternoon was spent in making argument for a new trial in the five contempt cases. The motion was overruled and the case will go to the su- preme court. This afternoon argument was made for a new trial for Lon Easley. city marshal of Hoxie, who was convicted last night by the jury for murder in the second degree for killing C. C.. Pinnell and sentence fixed at 21 years in the penitentiary. This motion for new trial was oyer- ruled and sentence was pronounc- ed on Easley. Easley will appeal to the supreme court.
