Must Marry To Be
Members of Team

The full blooded Creek Indians
are highly excited over the an
nual championship ball game be-
tween the teams from PulSon Tai
lahassee and Hillabee. two old
Creek Indian towns. which for
years have had the best mines in
the Creek nation. The require
ment that all players must be resi-
dents OF the towns caused argu-
ment, and It was agreed finally
that anyone marrying a woman Of
one OF the towns would be eligi-
Bile. The process OF signing up a
star ball player for this event
therefore appears somewhat COM
plicated.

DEMAREE To Be
PITCHING HERO
Of 1878 CLASH
Giant Youngster or Shawkey, Of
Athletics, Likely to Shine in
Worlds Series.

TIME absorbing topic Of baseball
discussion, now that the major
league pennant races are viz
tually over, is: Who will be the
pitching hero of the 1918 worlds
championship series between the
Giants and Athletics?
BY one of the singular quirks of
fate, the fans of New York and Phil
adelphia are firm in the belief that
the youngest pitcher on the respect
I've teams will be the hero Of the i'm
pending slash.
AL Demaree, serving his first year
as regular on the Giants pitching
corps, bids fair to lead the National
League hurlers in the winning per
centages, and ii is the fond hope of
steadfast New York enthusiasts that
Steamer Az will pitch wide circles
around Chief Bender, Eddie Plank
and a few of Macks sensational
young box performers.
Buttonhole any Philadelphia fan,
and he will bet money, marbles or
chalk that Bob Shawkey, the juvenile
of the Mackian staff, will outpitch such
established stars as Mathewson, Mar
guard and Tesreau in the big series.
Christy Mathewson, Bill Dineen,
Ed Walsh. MordeCai Brown, Babe"
Adams. Jack Coombs and Joe Wood
are generally considered the great
est worlds championship pitchers of
modern baseball history. Bill Dineen
was the first to gain fame as a pitch
ing hero in the inaugural worlds Sc
ries between American and National
League teams in 1903, when the Bos-
ton Americans nosed out the Pirates
in their memorable encounter of eight
games. Dineen. now an American
League umpire, was the greatest
Highlander of his time
Dineen Humbles Pirates.
Pittsburg had won three of the
first four games, Dineen grabbing off
victory for the retreating Bostons
in the second tilt. Dineen succumbed
TO Philippe in the fourth clash. Old
Cy Young saved the Americans by
beating Kennedy in the fifth game
Dineen thrashed Lever in the
sixth. and Young performed the same
operation on Philippe in the seventh
In the eighth and deciding game, Di-
men routed Philippe and the Pirates
and secured for Boston the worlds
championship. The score was to 0.
In this critical clash Dineen struck
out Wagner with the bases congested.
Mathewson still holds the record of
three straight shut-out triumphs over
the Athletics in 1905. He beat Eddie
Plank, 3 to 0, in the first game, and
BANKED Andy Coakley, 9 to 0, in the
third game of the series; and shut
out Redskin Bender, to 0. in the
fifth and deciding game.
Ed Walsh pitched Fielder Jones'
Chicago White SoN to victory over
the Cubs in 1905. Walsh won two
games, including 3 to shut-out
that took all the vim out of the
Chancemen and made them easy

NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-Just one
" more week before the worlds
series gets under way. The
cinching Of the pennants by the
Giants and Athletics viii mean some
easy going in the final days OF the
regular season. Regulars will be
taken out OF the lineup and patch
work arrays presented. Both Connie
Mack and Johnny McGraw have their
hearts set on winning the grand finale,
and neither will take any unnecessary
chances of injurying any OF his stars
in the interim. Moreover, having been
driven at a fast clip in the last few
weeks. their condition has begun to
border on the stale" and a few days
Of inactivity should work great bene-
ut to them
II Mack uses Stuffv McInnis at all
this week it probably will be in only
a few games. An injury such as the
little first baseman suffered to his
shoulder ten days ago is an uncer-
tain thing. His doctors may pro-
nounCe the shoulder sound now, but
wrench of that type is not to be
monkeyed with. Harry Davis prob
ably win be seen on the initial cush-

Is: MCInnis, first base: Collins. second
base; Barry, shortstop; Baker, third
base; Eddie Murphy, Daley and Old

freak Of a triple -header-a regular

regular season will look about like

and that the cost or thus using
convicts is from 40 to 65 cents g
day. Georgia employs 5000 or
the roads, and estimates the
cost at one half that of paid lab
or. California adopted the sys-
TEN last year and is pleased with
lit. CoIorado,s S convicts built l51
miles Of mountain road in 1912
at a cost Of 80 cents a day per
man. In Illinois siXIy-siX con-
victs are kept at work in quaries
and at crushing stone at a cost
of 80 cents a day. Kansas Off
cials think the effect good on
convicts. Louisiana built 25
miles of permanent roads last
year with conyicts and found the
expense 40 cents per man.
In Michigan the convicts bre-
ser road work, and Minnesota
considers stone crushing by con-
victs a success. Montana works
225 prisoners on the roads and
thinks they are much benefited
by the out door labor. North
Carolina is another state that has
gone into the system extensively.
Its 2300 convicts thus employ
ed cost from AZ to 72 cents day
each. Oregon makes a favora-
BILE report. It's 106 convict road
workers cost S14 per month,
Virginia's 735 convicts are kept
busy on the roads at a cost of
34.3 a day per man. Washing
ton is satisfied with convict labor
in stone quarries. Cole County,
Mo-, has had from twenty to
forty convicts at work on roads
and the state highway engineer
testiies that the work at a daily
cost of 40 cents. is equal to that
of free labor. The movement is
growing. In every case the san
itary benefit to the men is stated
to be marked and the discipline
is easily enforced. This resource
for getting good roads has be-

The Demand for Skilled Drafts
nen and Artisans Increasing

In order to meet the demand
for craftsmen and skilled me-
chanics the College of Mechanic
al and Electrical Engineering of
the State University, has estab-
lished a short course in mechan-
les arts covering a period Of two
years. There~are many young
men whose secondary education
has not been. extended enough to
enable them to enter the high
grade course in mechanical and
electrical engineering. but the
University in order to take care
of the great number of young
men who are not qualified to en-
ter the freshman class but are
ambitious to become skilled
craftsmen. designers and arti-
sans, has established this course
which will be of great value to
many young kentuckian and
when they have finished the pre-
scrlqed course of study they will
be able to secure positions with
industrial concerns that will lead
eventually to positions of resp on
sbilIty. depending upon the ap-
titude of each individual. This
course of study is given to the
young men of Kentucky practi-
cally without cost and it is hop
ed that a good many young men
Of this community will take ad-
vantage of the special training
that has been provided.
During the University has re-
ceived a great many applications
for craftsmen and young men
skilled in shop practice and there
will be no question about young
men securing good positions
when they become skilled in
these practical branches.

The Time Ripe For Action.

Some We ks ago, if our memo.
ry Is not a. fault, there was a
very important movement launch
e4. and one which bid fair to
sweep the counties Of the En-
g.;sh tobacco belt. 1t was pro-
posed - organize a consolidated
tobacco }mpany to market the
entire crop of the English type
ot tobacco. The company was
wal .aunched and the purposes
were 50 fair that it seemed
everyone would favor the pro.
posed company.
From some cause not much
further seems to have been ac-
comDlished. We believe we are
within the record when we say
the yeop.e favor the plan, and
are jlst awaiting an oportunity
10 affiliate with the new COM
pany. The time is approaching
when some definite steps should
bo taken TO launch the proposed
company. Soon the new crop
Of tobacco will be ready to har-
vest and the market, and if the
grower S net to be at the mercy
Of the buyer, something must
speells be done. We have
heard Of 10 pooling papers hav-
ina been gotten out to signed.
The time S ripe for action.
The Hustler is of the opinion
that a series OF county meetings,
district meetings, or a delegated
meeting for the entire area
should be called at once and the
final steps taken in the organiza-
ton. This is no time for dilly-
Iallying or for engaging in the
pet hobby of nursing ones wound
ed feelings. After this is done
then let the individual growers
be given the opportunity of pool
ing his tobacco. This is business
Of prime Importance and should |
Be attended to at once. We be-
