the pleasure of the afternoon in which
Mrs. Lefa J. Powers was injured.
The balloon in its ascent went al
most straight up over the grounds
and when Gates cut loose several
hundred feet in the air the immense
bag, weighing $50 pounds and car
rying a 80 pound sand bag hurtIed
down the air like a shot, landing di-
rectly on the board walk in front of
the grand stand. Of course the
people were intently watching the
balloonist, who was making the peri
lous descent with the aid of three
parachutes and did not think of the
big bag. When several yelled
warning there was wild scamper-
ing to get out from under and fortu-
nately no one was seriously Injured.
Mrs. Powers was knocked down and
rendered unconscious. She was TAX
en- to Brightlook hospital where it
was found that her injuries consist
ed of a scalp wound and bruise on
the face, besides the shock. That
no one was more seriously injured is
remarkable.

It is a known fact that Chance has
tied the ever. ready tinWare to athletes
because they were green in some de-
partment of the game. Later the same
athletes were taught and proved stars
with other clubs.
Good Examples.
The best proof of the mistake OF
Chance is the success of Connie Mack
and John McCfraW. These great man
ayers carry men on their benches for
years in order to teach them the game
and when they are finished products
they use them regularly. Jim Thorpe
is being taught by McGraw now and
some day may be a star. Mack kept
"Stuffy" McInnis on the bench four
years and now he is one of the best
first basemen in the game.
If players We're taught all they
minor leagues their minor league
managers would be experts and if they
were experts they would not remain
long in the minors. Men graduating
into the big leagues should not be con-
sidered finished products.
This idea of selecting a referee the
hour of a fight is a decided mistake
1t will be better if the G. a. A. c. will
engage a capable and honest official,
make him official referee and then not
change every time some coffee and roll
fighter makes a yell.
The Proper System.
In all other boxing clubs fighters are
given to understand that the club
referee will deal the decisions or there
will be no fight. If the boxer cares to
accept the official all well and good, if
not he can seek bouts elsewhere. This
IS absolutely proper Promoters who
are dictated to by fighters will find
their clubs in poor condition in short
time. Walter Bates is good enough
for US.

Before I left France there were
many schoolboy teams, and the adults
were taking such a lively interest in
the game that many of them formed

players in France is the lack of suit

their forests, many of them on the out

Herman Must Pay $4,000, Belief
-:I:- IL -:I:- il -:I:-
Bothersome Precedent Hampers Him

II ANSAS CITY, No. April 3-From
where we sit it begins to look
IA as though one Garry Hermann,
that portly gentleman from Cincinnati
who has much to say about how the
game of baseball is conducted in this
country, is about to take a bitter does
of his own medicine, by paying TO
Charles H. Ebbets & Co, of Brooklyn,
the sum of $4,000.
1t will be remembered that Joseph
Tinker was sold to Brooklyn to Gin
Cinnati for that sum, but failed to re-
port. If he does not report when the
season opens. and everything points
to his absence on April IA, the Su-
perbas will make strenuous efforts to
collect No doubt they will succeed.
That Was Different.
Hermann claims that he should not
pay the money back, but the shoe is on
a different foot now than in the case
of the sale of "Cy' Morgan by the Kan
Sas City club to Cincinnati last season.
Morgan was sold to the Red chief for
10000 He reported, but was said to
be out of condition. Hermann imme-
diately called a meeting of the national
commission, of which he is chairman,
and that body ordered George Tebeau,
owner of the Blues, to return the S1O,-
600 to Hermann. Having established
such q precedent Hermann will have
to return the coin turned over for
Tinker and it will be the Reds who lose
IN the deal and not Brooklyn.
Men Need Training.
Frank Chance, so we are told, does
not believe in the sliding pit and other
things for the instruction of Young ball
poets them to be finished products
when they join a major league team.
In this the former manager of the
champion Cubs is mistaken.
