PAYS TRIBUTE TO
JIMMY JOHNSTON
WESTERN WRITER SAYS THAT
SAN FRANCISCO is SIMPLY
JOHNSTON CRAZY.

This weeks issue of the Sporting
News carries the following story re
garding Jimmie John ston member OF
the Speed family In / 80 and member
Of the Sox for short time this year
Jimmie was sold by Manager Egan tc
the Sox at the close Of the 1910 sea
son. Comiskey farmed the boy to
Birmingham where he played brilliant.
ly for two years. This spring he was
recalled by Comiskey, but was not fast
enough for the Sox, according to Man.
.ager L Callahan's belief. While the
sold to San Francisco. Local fans
who have watched Johnston and the
Sox play maintain that he Is by far
a better player than either "Chick"
Mattick or ping" Bodie, Of the Sox
team. Speaking Of Johnston the west
ern writer says:
Our season Is young and Del How
ards chief worry just at present is in
the great fight the Seals are making to
stay in the first division. But some
where back in his sub-conscious mind
Manager Del Is beginning to wonder
where he will find satisfactory man
one year hence to fill the shoes OF
Jimmy Johnston. For II this same
Jimmy Johnston remains In the Coast
league more than single season, the
followers of the game who have seen
man after man 70 from here to the
big league will willingly set themselves
down as the most impossible Judges OF
playing merit in the world.
More than any other individual play
er is Johnston responsible for the un-
expected showing the long-despised
Seals have made. He has set the pace
and the others, after watching him IN
establishment for few days, began to
initiate him. The result has been a
general increase in speed and gen.
eral revival of effort.
Johnston has only recently got into
his batting stride. He Is topping .280
now and is still climbing. He has
scored more runs than any other play
er in the league, and he not only leads
in stolen bases by wide margin, but
has chalked up better than 40 steals
for the season, which Is only a third
over. Several games recently won by
the Seals have been won BY Johnston's
scoring from second on an lnfield hit
or an infield out. In the final game
with Venice in the latest series he
scored from second on hit handled
by the pitcher The ball rolled out OF
Spider Baum's reach and he had to
pursue It, but It was never more than
% feet away from the plate.
Town Is Johnston Crazy.
San Francisco is simply Johnston
crazy. The club Is divided into two
parts for discussion, Johnston and the
rest Of them. And Howard himself.
Justly priding himself on having picked
Jimmy out of the White Sox bunch as
the one available man he wanted,
says:
GIVE me one more man like John
ston, and I'll win this pennant by so
wide "a margin that it will not even
be a race"
That Jimmy will so up to the big
league next year Is looked upon as
certainty. If he doesn't, then in gem
eral opinion there hasn't been man
who has gone up from the Coast league

Wearing an abnormally large pair
of dark green eyeglasses, with his
clothing in tatters and a dilapidated
sign, please help the blind" hung
across his chest, P. David Nelson,
late of Manchester n. H., stood at
the corner of Springfield avenue and
West street today holding a tin cup
invitingly extended for pennies from
passersby.
He had been standing there but a
short time when a kind hearted
woman stopped and dropped a quar-
ter in the cup A feeble THANK you,
mann" from Nelson, and the woman
passed on. Across the street stood a
tramp. known to the police as "The
Litter" When the woman dropped
the quarter into the cup the "Lifter's'
listless attitude dropped from him
like a cloak and he started across
the street with his eyes on the cup
Going behind the blind man he
slyly extracted the money from the
cup and started to tiptoe away.
AS Nelson felt the slight pressure
on the cup he thought that someone
had put money into it, and again the
mumbling THANK you, ma'am,"
after which he turned the cup up
side down, but no jingle of money
came to his ears. Quick action fol-
lowed on Nelson's part The glasses
were off in a twinkling, and as he

Dividend of Ninety-five
Per Cent. on Claims Against
Beekman Ordered Paid

A dividend of 95 per cent. on the
total claims proved by the creditors
against Theodore r. Beekman, the
so-ealled bankrupt manager of Zeek's
Express Company, was ordered paid
today by Bankruptcy Referee Edwin
q. Adams.
Alphons Westee, of Orange, trustee

alleged bankrupt on Perth Amboy

in the bankruptcy court. A further
dividend will be announced later by
the referee, when the estate is to be
wound up.
Theodore r. Beekman, the bank
rupt, and his brother, Abram C. Beck
man, now face contempt of court pro-
ceedings as the result of admitted
perjury, committed while testifying
in the bankruptcy court. Referee
Adams has not yet handed down a
decision on the briefs submitted by

an attempt to have them freed of the
contempt charges.

IF KIDNEYS ACT

Says Backache is sign you have

meat.

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
it generally means you have been
eating too much meat, says a we'll
known authority. Meat forms uric
acid which overworks the kidneys in
their effort to filter 1t from the blood
and they become sort of paralyzed
and loggy When your kidneys get
sluggish and clog you must relieve
them, like you relieve your bowels:
removing all the body's urinous
waste, else you have backache, sick
headache, dizzy spells; your stomach
sours, tongue is coated, and when the
twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of
sediment, channels often get sore,
water scalds and you are Obliged to
seek relief two or three times during
the night.
Either consult good, reliable ply.

NELSON |MPR|NTS
MAY COME HERE
New Jersey Historical Society
Hopes to Obtain Same from
the Nelson Collection.

An effort will be made by the New
Jersey Historical Society to obtain
some of the historical Newark and
New Jersey imprints in the library
of william Nelson, of Paterson. The
Nelson collection is to be sold next
week in New York. j. Lawrence
Boggs, Frederick A. Garfield and
Rev. Joseph Folsom will represent the
historical society at the dispersal.
John Cotton Dana, librarian of the
Newark Public Library, has made no
move in the Nelson matter. He feels
that the Nelson sale is more of a
matter for the New Jersey Historical
Society to handle. Mr. Dana added:
LAS far as / myself am concerned
1 have not even glanced at the cata-
logue of the collection, and I don't
think we should compete with the
Historical Society in a matter of this
kind"
DR.. Dana then went into another
room of the library and returned
with a catalogue of the Nelson sale.
II had no idea Mr.. Nelson owned
so large a collection" he said as he
began to look over the catalogue and
noticed the different works that are
to be put up at auction.
When asked whether. he was a
member of the New Jersey Historical
Society, Mr.. Dana thought moment
and then replied that "he was not
sure" although he knew that he had
formerly belonged.
Questioned further as to whether
the Newark Public Library would bid
on the Nelson works If the Historical
Society failed to take some action, Mr..
Dana said:
I'VE have quite few books on the
subject of genealogies and occasion
ally we have one given to US, but we
rarely purchase any of this class of
works
"In this case Newark is far behind
other cities in the country, whose
libraries contain all of the data per-
tanning to their respective States and
cities that they can pick up.
II don't think it a good idea to have
two collections in the same city on
subject like this, and that is one
of the reasons we don't care to COM
pete with the Historical Society,""
