The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1914-08-06

"A HrSC OHonQof or OO has Just
much right to be given another chance as lad of
20 years. 1t is quite as easy for an aged man or
one in middle age to fall, it is for youth.
We have been mistaken in measuring clemency by
years, and have just found it out. have looked
up the records and find that the great majority of
probation violators and parole vioators all over
the country are men cf younger age. The first
offenders of more mature age seldom if ever fail
to make good. And besides, this man has fami-
ly of children depending upon his daily wage for
their support and education; robbed of that sup
port, these children would necessarily be denied of
their school-going right and be scattered here and
there to make their way in the world as best they
could. They would, in all probability, cause So
ciety more grief, and the state more money than
we can afford to pay; especially when we may
eliminate the danger of such condition by pro-
tecting them through the father
In commenting on this incident the Chicago
Tribune remarks There is no doubt that the
court is entirely right in the view it takes of the
matter. The world is taking different view of
things in the condemnation of offenders. There is
no reason why man who has always lived right
and bore an unbemished reputation should be too
severely dealt with for making misstep no mat
ter what his age may be. The indicative idea.
and the tendency of revengeful persecution must
give way to the more logical and resultful court
method of giving another chance

GIVING A MAN ANOTHER CHANCE

CHICAGO judge who has been very lib
ing sentences of first offenders, last week
exercised this more humane and modern
method with prisoner who had passed
his forty ninth birthday: suspension of
sentence had previously been given to
only those ranging from Is to 80 years
Some of the court reporters were inclined
to laugh about man 40 being given
another chance, and when the Judge was
approached in the matter he gave his
reason in the following words:

Why and wherefore? Of course, we will
be glad of the opportunity that it will give
Lafferty and Sullivan in the way of prac-
tice. Glad, also, to be of assistance to
the type stickers, while at the same time
we feel a degree of satisfaction at this
tacit agreement with our boast, that we
count in our ranks some nifty ball
talent. Sorry that the writer will not be
present and see the scrap, but, perhaps
upon the following Saturday it will be diff
ferent.
Thank you for the 'sdope," McD.-but
l should have asked you how those speedy
leg of Babb are built Are they cut bias,
concave or convex? This would have
eliminated any remaining doubts in my
mind. However, think now that he is
the chap I've had in mind since reading
of his star performances.
Say, Slivers. got you. Pretty smooth
duck in putting 'em over all right, all
right. How do you do it anyway? By
the way, where do you hang out during
the games, sun bleachers or grandstand?
There few of you ducks that must

among you, and I'd like to get the layout
of the premises, so may not loose time
"spotting" you.

Goulait Wins First

The fates Were kind to Memphis in the next session, although 1t appeared other wise at the outset. With one out, Dun ckel and Bemis singled in succession. Me- Donald failed to field Lusk's hard drive and the bases were filled. On the first ball pitched O'Brien was hit on the right hand, The ball ricocheted on the bat and when the crash resounded, Fifield ruled that it was a foul strike and would not allow him to take first A long argument ensued and resulted in O Brien and Mullen being chased from the game. Goulait replaced O'Brien at the bat. The substitution proved disastrous to Johnson, for the Frenchman slashed a grooved ball to deep center field and circled the bases.
 Merritt replaced the banished twirler and pitched sensationally until the sev- enth. Norman Coyle crushed Johnson s hopes in this eventful round. Merritt scored an infield hit. Allison dropped sacrifice. Marcan collided with the runner at first base, dropping the throw and both were safe. At this critical june ture, Coyle drove long drive down the left field line and completed the circuit The scoring did not slacken with the seventh marker, but continued until Mem phis possessed 10-run lead.

BaronA Stage Rally

Birmingham made concerted effort to overhaul the Turtles in the last half of the seventh. Marcan drew a pass Mo Donald grounded to Lusk but Marcan was safe at second, when Merritt dropped the throw. Carroll grounded to Clothier and Mcdonald was forced at second. Mer- litt uncorked wild pitch, allowing Mar can to score the first run. The veteran Bemis retrieved the pass slowly and Car roll continued to third. Stewart walked, but Mcbride singled to center and Car roll scored. Covington drew a pass, fill ing the cushions. Ellam hoisted fly to right field that carried nearly to the fence. Coyle effected daring catch, but Stewart spurted over the rubber. Ira gesser doubled and Mcbride scored. John son bingled to Coyle, sending Covington and Tragesser homeward. Marcan struck out, closing the rally.
 Liebhardt replaced M erritt in the eighth and succeeded in saving the game. How ever. a seventh run was registered in the eighth. Carroll reached first on Clothier S wild heave to first and went to third on Stewards double. McBride's grounder to Lusk enabled the center fielder to tally.

Facing indictment weather conditions, the two aggregations fought until darkness prevented further play Home runs virtually won the opening en- counter for the Turtles, but three pitchers were required to forestall a down fall. Buck O'Brien. Howard Mer- ritt and Glenn Leibhardt were forced to mount the slab.
 In the second setto which was closed when Umpire Kerin called time after Memphis had gone out in the eighth Birmingham rapped Theodore Goulait tally. Hardgrove yielded three safeties to the Turtles. but fast fielding and aggressive playing prevented them from scoring more than one run.
 Umpire Fifield. alleged to have an abbreviated vision, was active in ban isnng players during the games In the first inning Pitcher Buck OBrien and Captain Jimmy Mullen were or ocred from the field. Later Goulait was shooed from the coaching lines. In the first inning of the closing clash Out fielder Pete Allison was dismissed from the game. while later Roth was chased from the third base line kerin umpired a good game. but Fifield was inefficient as usual.

Taking Schlei Hnawares. Marcan pilfered third and scored when Carroll hit a triple to rght field Stewart repeated with a bingle to the same field and Carroll scampered home in safety.
 Memphis stalled, used dilatory tactics and played listlessly, but could not get Umpire Kerin to call the battle. Seeing t,at each movement was futile. they con tirued playing. However, in the third, Hardgrove gave them hope when Goulait scored. With one out. Isusk singled to left. but was forced at second on Goulait s roller to Ellam. George Merritt, the most versatile player in baseball, rocked right field fence with wallop and sent Goulait home.
