BASE BALL..

"Marco Polo some weeks ago predicted
that in the future big league scouts would
be waiting at the gates of the different pc
nal institutions throughout the country to
sign up the ball players when they went
forth out in the world. This may be so,
but if the Green Sox keep on winning with
regularity, we can see where the owners of
the major league team will be here them
selves, falling over one another to sign up
Paddy at manager, for up to date he hash t
lost game, and he's strengthening his
team more so each week. In last Satur-

FIRST TIME CAUGHT

There is large quantity of printers ink
used nowadays giving lectures about first
offenders, and why first offenders? Simply
for the reason it is the first time the person
has been unlucky enough to get caught.
There is an old saying that no person
goes to bed honest and wakes up thief.
Very rarely does person fall in the clutch
of the law on the first crooked job. There
are exceptions but they are in the minority.
Very little is written of the unfortunate
man, who has perhaps been caught every
time he broke the law. Oh, yes there is;
he is condemned and the harsh critic says he
is an habitual criminal-that he likes the
prison better than the outside world, and. so
forth.
If person really is first offender, l say
that person should be put on probation from
the court, except of course for certain vile
crimes. But let that fist offender prove
that he is really one, otherwise, let him be
put on the crime calender as FIRST
TIME CAUGHT.-Um
