ORGANIZED MAGNATES
TELL WEIRED STORY OF
POSSIBLE ALTRUISM

NEW YORK, June 81 Organized
baseball comes to the fore today with
a story Of how it could have crushed
the Federal league even before it
started, but because we didn't want
to use seemingly unfair tactics we
didn't do 1t.
II seems from this new story
is from the way organized baseball
tells it-that it had a chance in Chi
cago. just at the time the Chicago
Feds were negotiating sor the land, to
buy a wide strip straight through the
center Of the plot that now forms the
Feds park there
But the soft hearted organized
baseball crowd didn't care to do such
thing. They felt so kindly and
charitable toward the Feds that they
let them buy the whole lot.
In Buffalo. St. Louis, and again in
Chicago, the organized crowd had a
chance to put the crusher on the Feds
but because of brotherly feelings
towards the Feds, it passed the
chances up. From what we are told
by one of the big officials of organ
lied baseball. some Of the property
owners in the neighborhood of the
Federal parks objected to the pres
ence of the parks.
could Have Killed Feds"
And right there" explained this
official, I'VE could have killed off the
Feds, had we cared to. We could have
at a total cost of $4,000 got these
property owners together and filed in
junction suits to prevent further
work on the parks. Without doubt
the injunctions would have been
granted-and where would the Feds
have been?
Aren't the real facts in these par
ticular cases bit different than you
explained?" we asked. Isn't it the
real truth that the reason organized
baseball didn't buy that strip of land
and push injunction suits was be-
cause it was blind to it's opportunity,
and not because it saw 1t and passed
1t by Intentionally?
"Oh, no." was the answer.
And there you are.

ALL ROUND ATHLETE
IN JOE GUYON WILL

PHILADELPHIA June 27.--Amer-
lea need have no fear that the worlds
all-around athletic championship
which Jim Thorpe, the famous Indian
athlete, won at the Olympic games at
Stockholm in 1912. will go to any 9TH
err country in 1916, now that Thorpe
has become a professional ball player.
At Carlisle Indian school a success

pion has been making this spring
count for anything then there is little
doubt that another Indian win win

The Indian who will I'll Thorpes
shoes is Joe Guyon, the 2Oyear-old
redskin who made such phenomenal
showing last fall on the gridiron that
almost every critic in the country
chose him as the most terrible back
field player of the year. Guyon. though
only a freshman, made a marvellous
record In the recent class athletic
games at the Indian school
This football star won seven events
and acquired places in two others, for
a total Of SO points. and his records
we're exceptionally good considering
the many events in which he COM
peted. Guyon captured the 100-yard
dash in 10 4-5s,, and a few minutes
lafterward took the 220-yard event in
% 4-5s. He jumped from the race into
the 12O-yard hurdle without rest and
romped AWAY with the high stick
event in IT'S, a time he could have
improved had he been pushed.
He proved equally strong in the
field events. He took the broad jump
with a leap of 20 #. in. and leaped
s IT, 2 in, in the running high jump.
| He entered the hammer event, the
first time he had ever handled this
missile. and threw It 80 feet Coach
Warner believes he could add so feet
to the distance. He stroued over to
the shot putting circle and won that
event by tossing the 16-pound ball 80

LAST week WITNESSES
SIXTY EIGHT NATAL
DAY OF GREAT SPORT
The First Game Was Played in
HOboken, N. J. Between the
KnickerbOCkerS and the New
York Club; Some Change.

SiXty-eight years ago one day last
week the first match game of baseball
on record was played. The game was
between the Knickerbocker and New
York Baseball clubs i'm the Elysian
Fields at Hobohen. a. j. The players
were members of the leading New
York families an dengaged i'm the sport
as q pastime A bevy of town bellies
I'm the group of spectators made the
occasion seem like a social function.
The field was marked off into the
baseball diamond so familiar today.
None Of the players wore gloves,
masks. or protectors. It was the Gus.
tom for the batter to say where he
wanted the ball thrown. The pitcher,
or "giver" as he was then called, de-
llvered it with an underhand toss, ac-
cording TO the rules of the game. It
was thought that the pitcher had an
unfair advantage over the batter when
he threw the ball overland, hence the
rule. The catcher stood at a safe
distance behind the batter ready to
catch the ball on the bound. The rules
dictated that If he caught the third
strike on the FIRST bound the batter
was out, otherwise he must throw to
hrts base to put him out Likewise
the delders. or scouts were permit
ted to catch hits on the first bound
Three outs retired the side The team
that first scored 81 runs or aces re-
gardless of the number Of innings

one Of the famous taverns Of the day

ANDERSON TALKS
TO AUGUSTA, GA.
Toll Line viii Be Established to
Georgia Town From This
City via Greenwood

On April Is Of this year the .Ander-
son Chamber of Commerce took up
with Manager w. S. Beatty. of the
Southern Bell Telephone Company
the matter of toll line from this city
to Augusta, Ga, via the Charleston &
Western Carolina Railway. 1t is un-
derstood that Manager Beatty stated
then that the line would hardly. be a
paying proposition but he promised
that he would do his best.
Yesterday = WAS. circulated uu the
streets OF anderson that the telephone
company has hit upon the idea OF hav-
ing their line between this city and
Greenwood put into perfect condition
and arrange to handle service from
this city via Lowndesville, Barnes and
intermediate stations. 30 that excel
lent service will +. maintained be-
tween this city and. Augusta.
1t is a matter OF common knowledge
that the territory. traversed between
this city and Augusta by the most d.
rect route would not be able to sup
port a toll line. However, via Green
wood the telephone company will be
able to furnish the very best service,
at the same time saving thousands OF
dollars in additional expenditure.
The secretary OF the Chamber Of
Commerce said last night that he was
well pleased over the halfway meas-
uro and II this goes through he will
be content, as will the other. business
men OF the city.

THE WAR AS AN EXCUSE.

The Intclligencer learns that many
folks Who are approached by tho
Ubiquitous bill collectors. and they
are essential to business success, put
them CO by saying that they cannot
pay low on account of the war. Then
again there is a feeling that nothing
new should be undertaken till we see
what the war is doing and how it
turns out Such views are all wrong
1t is all right to be conservative, but
sometimes there Is such q thing as
being too conservative, and retarding
progress. The way to keep the war in
Germany and France Is to prevent any
of the effects Of the war from coming
home. Why should we In Anderson

ty in South Carolina, If not in the

the war on another continent?

ATTEND FARMERS INSTITUTES.

One Of the things hard to understand
is why the attendance upon conven-
tions, institutes, and gatherings OF an
educational nature is usually so
small. For several yeairs Clemson
College and the United States depart
ment of agriculture have been en-
gagged In conducting farmers insti-
tutes over the state and furnishing
some of their ablest talent for the
hurpose Of giving valuable instruction
to the farmers upon questions OF vital
interest. 1t is rare thing for these
Institutes to be attended by large
crowds. Why Is his? Do not our peo-
ple wish to receive instruction In mat
