Series Money-Jack Dunns Profits.
They are saying in baseball circles
that it was a single move made by
Pat Moran, the new manager of the
PhiIies, a little more than year ago
that gave Mr.. Baker the idea of max
ing him manager.
This move was in the famous game
wherein Harry Mccormick made
single and won the game from the
! Phillies only to be made TO come back
and bat over because Umpire Klein
| was not looking. Doom was catching
| aud, with his back to the umpire, did
not know that Klein was not looking.
He gave Alexander the signal to pitch
and Mccormick hit the ball.
From the bench Moran, then work
ing as coach, saw the technieal mis-
take and Immediately appealed to the
umpire. Mr.. Klein promptly allowed
his claim. When Mccormick was
made to bat over he hit into a double
play, and the Giants did not win.
Ever since that day Mr. Baker has
kept in mind Moran's exhibition of
quick thinking, and at last has found
a chance to reward him.
A lot of sympathy, it seems. has
been wasted on Jack Dunn, the squeak

The fact that ball players are among
the most persistent souvenir collectors
in the world will be news to most
fans. Some of them collect pictures
in every city they visit, some gather
pipes, some articles of silver, and one
noted player has accumulated q Won
derful assortment of fancy rugs. Buck
Weaver, the White Sox shortstop. who
spends his winters at PhoenixviIle.
Pa, is making a collection which some
day will be the envy Of every man
taking an interest in the national pas
time. And no money could buy a
similar collection.
Weaver's fad is discarded bats which
have been used by the games gNat-
est stickers, such as Cobb, Jackson,
Speaker, Magee and Lajoie of the pres
ant day school and the master club
manipulators of the past like Arson
and Brouthers. So far Buck has man
aged to have each of the bats auto
graphed by its former owner, and
though as time goes on he will ac-
cumulate some lumber, it will be a
collection which will interest every
rooter fortunate enough to look ii
over. ra

LET'S COME TOGETHER ON THE

Mr.. w. H. Gist, president OF the
Marion-Sumter Fair Association. was
in the city Thursday. and was IN a
very affable and pleasant state OF
mind.
He says that Secretary Williams Is
getting the fair grounds and build

can be safely announced that We are
going to have a fair that will in every
way be a most creditable one to the
two counties.
The president says that the knock
ers" are few. and all the while are
growing beautifully fewer.
We are glad to note this. for we
all should come together and pull for
the success of the fair.
We can, perhaps. afford to be al
cross purposes about other things.
but we all should come together and

PROGRESSIVE PRAISE or the
PRESIDENT

In his speech in Kansas City. Kans..
opening the state campaign for the
progressive, Henry ]. Allen declared
for the new rule in county and state
affairs, defended President Wilson's
administration in its Mexican and
other policies, and declared that the
new spirit in politics called for the
elimination of politics from local and
state offices.
1.-The only argument that is made
for the amalgamation of the pro-
gressive and republican parties is that
united we can whip the democrats
That has been the aim OF all our
political activities as far back as
can remember. That is the reason
we have so much slow progress In the
development of government. Has Il
occurred to you that possibly the dem
ocrats do not deserve to be whipped
If Woodwork Wilson carries out his
program and succeeds in doing what
everyone comedies that he is trying
to do, possibly the American people
will demand his reelection, and why
shouldn't they? That is the new idea,
the new spirit in politics.
"If he fails it will be because his
party is merely the democratic party
and unable to catch the new spirit.
Then his party should be defeated,
just as the republican party was de-
feated.
Let us get the vision OF the gov.
eminent, rather than the party.
THE people must first get posses
sion of the government and then ad-
minister it for the people who live
under it and who pay the costs OF the
administration. We can neither re-
duce taxes nor promote the public

THE TOWN PUMP AND DRINKING
FOUNTAIN

A good place to feel the pulse OF
civic life is at the public drinking
fountain. The ebb and flow of animal
life, as it quenches its thirst at the
public fountain gives us an estimate
of the wealth, population and pros
perity of the community; the charac-
ter, habits and occupations of its peo-
pie and the utility, pleasure and hard
ships of its citizens. There is no
better place to study the progress of
the community than at the town
pump.
Every village in Florida should have
a town pump and every city with
waterworks should have drinking
fountain where stream of pure run
ming water, freely dispenses Adams
Ale to the thirsty populace. Pure
water and plenty of it is a god COM
munity builder.

Sir. Tart also said the progressive
party was departing from "the pre-

ly had become a burden to the party.
In speaking of the European war,
Mr.. Taft said that President Wilson

sincerest cooperation in his efforts
to maintain the strict neutrality of
this country.

Concerning this country's obliga-

The speaker denied that the grant
ing to the president of such powers

tional.
Mr.. Taft said there were indica-
lions that there had been distant

for recall of judges and judicial de-
cisions. These proposals, he said,
were incorporated in the platform of
the progressive party, whose leader
felt called upon to declare that they
were the rock upon which it was
founded"
at would appear" Mr. Taft con-
tinued, that the party which father
ed these proposals now finds that in
stead of being the rock on which it is
founded it is, to change the metaphor,
the rock on which it founders. Ger

ignore this part of their original prop
