japanese Seribes Are Exactly Re
versed in Comment from What
They Are in America.

When a baseball scribe pulls that
moth-eaten gag. robbed by the UNI
pires." you always find that the officials
are put on the pan for discriminating
2ainst the home team. Its queer that
the home scribes never see where the
home team gets any of the breaks from
the umpires.
We can take a lesson from the jap
anese, for while they roast the umpires
over there the same as We do in this coun-
try. the. roasting is often because the
visiting team has not received justice
Recently the Leland stanford University
lost a game TO Japanese nine. Look
over what the japanese prints had to
say the following day:
The japanese Gazette says: Japanese
baseball umpires have once again given
a public demonstration that in matches
in which visiting teams are opposed to
their countrymen they are unable to be
fair in their decisions. The umpires,
Koyama and Naoki, gave a disgraceful
exhibition Of partiality."
The Japanese Mail rises to remark:
THE umpiring cannot be too severely
censured. 1t was not umpiring; 1t was
simply a disgusting exhibition of the
grossest partisanship. every decision OF
Importance without exception being
given in favor OF the home team"
The Japan Advertiser adds this COM
ment: THE umpires. both Koyama and
Naoki. were to all appearances out for
Keio to win by hook or crook"
And get this from the Yorodzu:
The umpires' incompetence II must
be said in justice 10 the Stanford team.

eide whether the ball-was foul or fair. "

Baltimore Track Manager Has Novel

E.I mere, Md. Aug. 13.-Track Man
Gger Herbert A. Payne. of the Athenian-

The leader Of athletics of the new

between the crack teams of the Balti-

up new fourteen-men team figures in
their message bearing relay from Presi-

He is anxious to have at least one
other organization from this city or from
Washington compete. and efforts will be
made to have the Central Young Men :
Christian Association, OF this city, or
the Washington Cross Country Club
put in team so as to make it a four
club affair.
1t is the plan OF Manager Payne to
have each club represented by ten picked
runners each man to run a distance of

in the running games in the South, and
a new record for the integrity run would

mentioned have the pick of the South S
distance runners in their ranks.
The Baltimore Cross Country Club
would no doubt be the favorite for such
run, owing to its carrying OF the
laurels in the last Baltimore News

Carroll Institute Of Washington as sec

which will represent the Athenian-Idle-

CAUGHT WITH THE GOODS
by CHARLES II. MANDY

Possibly everybody who comes in con-
tact with the various courts of the state
and county have listened to someone tell
the story OF the old niger whose trial
for a criminal offense was about to be
heard, and that when the state had an
nounced not ready the judge asked the
ebony defendant what he was going to
do about it, he replied, 'Jedge, rs willin
ter drap hit if yo' is" There is not the
least doubt that many of the defendants
brought to trial are of the same mind as
that old negro, and would be very willing
to ',drap il" If they could induce the court
to adopt that procedure.
Yesterday a negro named Bob Banks
was arrested on charge of grand larceny
and was taken before Judge Ii. b. Aber-
nethy for a preliminary hearing. He was
asked whether he was guilty or not and
in reply mumbled something unintelli-
gible, so the judge proceeded to examine
the witnesses in the case. The arresting
officers told their story and stated they
caught the prisoner with the stolen goods
Several other witnesses were examined
and a strong case was made out against
the defendant. He was placed on the
stand and Judge Abernethy started to
question him when the man said:
'IIoP on dar, jedge, wait er mint. Is
yo gwine ter ak me erbolit dem clothes
what de policemen says ah took?''
THAT was my purpose. | wanted to
see If you had any defense

fense when Use guilty."
.'Why in heaven didn't you say that in
the first place when l asked you if you
was guilty or not guilty?'

"Ah thought ah done tole yo' oncet."
II didn't understand 1t that way.
thought you plead not guilty"
Didn't yo' ask me what ah war gwine
to do about hit?"
II believe l did ask that question"
Oats when ah tole yo' uf hit war all
de same ter yo' homer we would say no
mo- bout hit
Say no more about it, why from the
evidence already given very strong case
is made against you, and believe me, there
will be lots more said about it when the
grand jury gets through with you. For
the present you will be confined in the
county Jail pending the action of the
grand jury, and the next time you are in
court try to make your meaning little
more clear, for while my hearing is still
good | am not skilled in lip reading, and
certainly not one of those gifted mortals
that can read mems minds. Your bond
will be $780,.
