A GOOD POINT.

The plea for compensation made by the liquor traffic, says a prohibition journal, loses its force in face of its own statement that prohibition does not prohibit, for if this be true it's property should be enhanced by req son of the increasing consumption.

FUTURE OF THE ORlNkER.

Whats to become of the drinker? |? The railroads don't want him. From the humblest job to the highest there Is no place for him. He Is not wanted for any important position either civil or military; he cannot be elected to any high office within the gift of the people; the banks do not want him; the wholesaler does not want him; the farmer has no use for him. Who wants the thinker?
 The penitentiary. the insane asylum, the inebriate asylum, the almshouse may receive him in due course of time, but who would aim to fit himself for such future as these institutions rep resent? Whats to become of the thinker? It is question to which the youth of today may we'll give some serious thought.-Union Signal.

nahan has coached him to pitch what
the stickers don't want, and some
times Jim gets into such a hole by so
doing that he is forced to deal out
pass. But he and Roger recover at
the dangerous moment, and breeze
through without danger.
Two hits were swatted by the Phils
for two runs in the first, inning yes
terday. After that Jim settled and
kept them subdued handily.
Bresnahan, who has been off color
in the last two days, caught nifty
game and collected a double and sin
gle, the two-bagger heading the fifth
inning rally. None of the Phils at
tempted to steal on Roger.
The game brought out the fact that
balplayers as a rule know less about
the rules than the spectators, Jim
Archer was the gent who offended. 1t
is fact that has been commented on
before that with the exception of
some of the willy athletes, none of the
men actively in the game consider it
necessary to pay any attention to the
actions of the rules committee;
Archers slip came over the new
rule which prohibits a coacher laying
his hands on a baserunneT at third
base. Frequently this spring there has
been trouble over this rule, and the
umpires have enforced it rigidly. In
fractions have been widely heTalded
in the newspapers, and, as the legal
bugs say, ignorance is no excuse for
violation of the law.
Archer grabbed Safer as he was
turning third in the fifth inning, and
Vic was promptly called out when the
Phils put up a kick. 1t deprived the
Cubs of one run, but fortunately
made no difference in, the result of
the game.
In the same inning Archer had
oVerstepped bounds by laying his
hands on Leach, but this went unno-

25 bases were all the Chifeds could
gather from the combined pitching Of
Adams and Walker. They smOte the
pill whenever the notion came to
them, and so grouped their bingles as
to swell the run column.
AIeck ZWiIIing was chief sIugger
with homer and two singles. Tom
Mcclure came close with a triple and
two singles. Beck got a triple and
single, and Zeider and Flack each
punched two hits. Wickland and Far
ren got double each. While all this
was going on Tinker went hitless.
LennOx was the leading Pirate batter
with two singles, double and triple.
I If it had not been for Lennox, Tom
Mcclure would never have been in
trouble. He had the sign on the rest
of the Pittsburgh swatters, and Len
nOX was responsible for all four of
the enemy's runs. Three he drove in,
and counted the fourth himself.
An account of the Sox game is just
another story of lost opportunities.
Openings were presented to the Gala
hans, but they politely refrained from
taking advantage of the Mackmen,
who are behind the Tigers and need
games badly.
Only twice did the Athletics have
a chance to score. And they were
there each time with the necessary
bingle. They only got two more hits
than the SOx, but refused to waste
any Smashes.
Reb Russell pitched good ball, all
lowing six hits. Three. of them came
punched in the first inning and two in
the fourth. 1t made little difference,
however. Reb would have been forced
to pitch a shut-oUt to win. His mates
gave him eight runs the last time he
pitched, and that swollen total will
have to last him for two or three more
battles.
The only run the Sox scored came
