Nine Hundred usty LungedPrisOners
"ROOt" Like Regular Fanatics
Every Saturday at Prison League

By CARLETON COLLIER.

~ ASEBALL is keeping men whole

States Penitentiary of Atlanta
The pennant race in the prison league
has become an eager fight, in which
six of the eight teams hope for vic
tory, and thus an element Of real
interest in their prison-life is sup
piled the eight hundred odd prisoners.
Every Saturday afternoon two
games are played and the eight hun

trying to apologize to his lawyer, who
was standing behind him. for lack OF

his habeas corpus suit.
A pale, wistfully smiling young man

baseball field yesterday skirting the
scattered crowd, never stopping to

at my side, and without hesitation,
began to talk. He was very home

But Stallings was given his release
from the prison league only yester-

body was glad that Jack should get
his chance at life again.
And there is Fatty. or rather, to be

walls everybody knows him as Fatty,
because he is. Anyhow, apart from
invidious information regarding his

But from the age of thirty eight to

The fact that some Of the worlds

white slavers or counterfeiters, with
no fan-feeling in their souls.
Indians in a Corner.
With them in the Isolated corner
are several stolid faced Indians. most
Of them from the reservations OF the
West. The red men can't get into
their heads whit it is all about-ex-
cept one or two Of them. The most
notable exception is Chief" a giant
Comanche Indian.
CHIEF sits through several in

body lax. Then. suddenly. without
premonitory symptoms. without
warning. when excitement elsewhere
has died. and when everything else IS
quiet, CHIEF will solemnly arise in
his majesty. and utter single shout
that might serve the Angel Gabriel
in good stead to wake the dead when
the last day comes. The stole IN
his soul has given way Then ne
viii prance and dance and yell
through the remainder Of the game,
cheering impartially both sides.
Most Of the Indians however. stay
away from the side lines. and won

Of paIefaces. or work themselves into
a perspiration pitching hOrsesh0es..
Beyond the pac:y OF idle foreigners
and uninterested Indians is the tuber-
culosis camp. where are the most
eager fans Two hundred yards away
from the diamond. they strain against
the wire netting around their tents
to catch every move of the players.
A place on the rooters' row is not for
them.
All Kinds Of Men.
There is every kind OF man in the
Federal prison. and the variety Of the
population is reflected in the groups
Of spectators. Along the bank beyond
the outfield sit only white men, who
take their enjoyment quietly. Many
OF them have, even IN their prison
clothes. the appearance OF good

Pity the poor Athletics. A ink
has followed them. knocking them out
of every game by the barest possible
margin. But that is one of the for
tunes Of war, and whatever else can
be said of convicts, they are certainly
good losers. A man in prison clothes

miserable creature on earth Julian
Hawthorne. himself one of the root
ers. said that. None of the prison
fans are more loyal than those in the
shop from which the team Of the
Athletics is recruited.
Different Trades Represented.
Each team Of the league represents
a group of workers. There is the
stonecutters' team. the carpenters
team. the tailors' team. and others,
the respective excellence of which de-
pends upon the baseball talent of the
men VINO are assigned TO work in the
various shops.
Some of the men are professional
baseball players. Register 1873, the
oflcfal umUdre, IS Jim Kennedy out
side the walls, and handled the indi-

league. Hs is a professional through
and through, from the hitch which he
sives 10 his trousers, to his decisive
tone of voice. Jack Stallings' who

enough had protested at Kennedys

into the tolls of the law. 1t is in this
group that men like Hawthorne and
like Charles w. Morse sit. talking
with calm self possession and with
apparent knowledge of the world.
From this unexcited but interested
throng two widely different lines Of
men stretch out on both sides. firing
ing the diamond. Negroes and
younger white men compose them,
enthusiastic, exultant fans, of the
breed that has no thought of CONF
fort when baseball is concerned.
When they talk they shout. There is
no calm about them But IT is likely
that they do not enjoy the sight more
than do the quiet watchers from the
hill.
Saturday is free of work for the
prisoners. This arrangement is or
dained by Warden W. II. Meyer. as
part OF the humane consideration on
which the operation Of the prison is
based. Work ends for the eight hun

Almost everybody wanted a tryOut,
but not everybody. There is a little
band who cannot understand 1t all.
Every Saturday afternoon little knot

of them. from New York. gather in
a corner OF the recreation grounds
far away from the diamond. and
strum at guitars and mandolins, or
idly lounge with their backs against
the big wall, smoking cigarette after

for them-but then, they are not
American born, nor even American IN

After thirty years of almost autocratic rule, Porfrio DiaZ went into exile in order that his fellOW-cOuntrymen might cXperi- mcnt with supposed govern ment of the people by the people. In his absence the Mexican ship of state has drifted on the yocks. The experiment was a hopeless failure from the beginning, not only because the strength of Francisco Madern, who could fear down but not build, was pit
 fully unequal to the prodigious task, but also because the only idea of freedom possessed by so many McXicanS is to get what they want when they want it. re- gardless of law or the rights of others. Under the provisional rule of an old soldier, who was one of the trusted lieutenants of President DiaZ, semblance on- iy of order has been established in the republic.
 An election under the forms of law is to be held in Mexico this month, and Gen. Diaz has been invited to return to his na- tive land in an advisory capacity. He has entered upon his eighty fourth year, but he is still the ablest, wisest and most infuen- tial of living Mexicans. There are indications innumerable that a great majority of thoughtful and law abiding Mexican citizens now feel that their country would be much better off if he had nev- CT been forced to resign.

 kahler, Who Are Overdue

Friends of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Cam and James kahlcr, the Nal- deZ business man, are worried at the nOn-arrival here of the Cam launch from the fish camp at kiniklik. The party left the camp early last Saturday on the trip to Valdez and have not been seen since.
 John Big2s, the partner of Mr. kahlcr in the Valdez Drug com- pany, has chartered a launch with instructions to hunt for the missing party and render such assistance as may be needed, al though it is very probable that the party stopped to hunt ducks, which are now plentiful down the Sound. Mr. Biggs, however, is determined to take no chances and has sent the launch with in structiOnS to make a careful search for the missing people.

PsEUDo-PsYcHOLoGIsTs AND
 NONSENSE.

Apparently no dreamer can have nightmare and carry enough of it in his waking hours to form a new theory or new cult but what he can find enough gulliblc folks to command quite a following. Here's a, Chicago policeman, for instance, who thinks he's a real psychologist and as a result of one of his rarebit dreamss has started a crusade. against the moving pie ture shows on an entirely new line.
 This Chicago reformer has been reading popular trcatises on suggestion, and knows that the mind receives an mtimation or hint from outside whenever the eyes see, the ears hear, the fingers touch, and so on. With this important knowledge on hand, he asks d law to prevent moving picture shows from eX- hibiing films depicting the use of firearms. His theory that small boys are melted by seeing rcvolv- CTS. SuggeStiOn--aSSOciatIOn of ideas--pistol and boy--crime. It is all very scientific, and, there fore, no moving picture shows depicting the use of firearms or burglars tools or any implement of crime should be tolerated. The funny part of it Es that society has been formed in Chicago to make a crusade against the moN-' ing picture shows on the basis of the police dreamer's dream.
 The mistake of the Chicago near-refurmer is that he woke up too soon. He did not wait to sec the finish of the moving picture show. In every movie where highwaNmrn. burglars and other vicious heroes are depicted, the punishment always follows. The country would De much better off if criminals in real life were pun ishcd as surely and as severely as they are in the moving pie lure shows. so, if this "sugges- tiOn' theory works, as the Chi cago- pscudn-psychnlngist would have Us believe, the boy who watches one of the moving pie ture shows depicting crime must have an emphatic suggestion that crime is always punished and does not pay. Picture show films that do not depict reVOlting crime and do not exploit the criminal but always show the criminal re- ceiving his punishment may teach a real lesson and prove a real moral agent.
