GIANT CAST.0fF
MAY BEAT EN- OUT
Dick Rudolph of Boston
Braves Pitching Wonder
full Ball.
(By Frank G.. Me1ke.)

Wy IL 1uh w AiSHhS'J
New York, Aug. 19.-The showing
made by Dick Rudolph of the Braves,
this year will prove of big help to
the recruits that John McGraw has
Canned" and may can in the future.
Rudy belonged to John some sea-
sons back, but John placed the IN.
G." tag on him and cast him adrift.
Rudy, after season in the minors,
left that he deserved chance in the
big leagues again. He appealed to
several managers. His record was
good, Rudy was young, but he was
branded with the IN. c. McGraw
stamp, and most of the managers
turned a deaf ear.
eff McGraw says you are not good
enough to keep, guess you amt"
they told Rudy. ANY prayer that
shows any promise is kept on the Gil
ants payroll. McGraw didn't keep
you, so l don't want you"
AS the above may show most mai
ayers got to the point of thinking
that McGraW as a baseball judge,
was infallible. If he cut a player
adrift they didn't care to have any
lIluS u uO Wltll llllIl Ill inc luluiC
that is all of them felt that way ex-
cept George ,Stallings, of the Braves.
Stallings watched Rudy and Rudy
looked to have the goods. He signed
Rudy and that pitcher has been the
big factor in the wonderful squirt
made by the Cubs in the last month.
Rudolph has pitched wonderful
baseball. Few of his games have
been lucky wins. He has won through
sheer pitching ability. The Cubs
have battled behind him at times, but
never enough so that he could allow
the enemy an average of two runs
game. He had to keep their average
under tha-and he did.
And Fletcher, the Giants shortstop,
has played wonderful game this
year. Always a brilliant fielder, he
ruined his chance for being ranked
among the "shortstop kings" by pull
ing some wild ,erratic play at the
critical moment. But this year he
has steadied down, and is the main
support of the Giants in1ield.
On at least six separate occasions,
Fletcher, by marvellous stops and
throws has cut off hits that meant
runs for the questionable games,
too. 1t is figured that Fletcher. by
making seemingly impossible plays,
has saved at least six games. On
this basis were it not for Fletcher,
the Giants, long ago would have been
overhauled by the Cubs and Cardi-
nails.
Heinie Zimmerman, the fiery third
sacker of the Cubs, has two great
NOTWITHSTANDING and neckties.
Henie, however, dislikes umpires
as much as he likes red neckties.
AID the sight of an umpire acts upon
Heinie in much the same way as a
red necktie acts On a bull brings on
the impulse to "horn in" and cause
little damage.
1t is reported, although the report
has not been confirmed that Heinie
has more neckties than Charley Muir
ply, once the boss of the Heinie.
But, no matter just how many ties
Chubby Charlie" has. the fact re-
mains that Heinie has enough to
STOCK up four haberdashery shops
and still have enough left to NAVE in

THE FAKE DETECTIVE.

indicate, the case Of conspiracy and
possible murder worked up against DIR.
Winters and his wife has exploded it

In this, as in other instances of a
similar character. the detective was
aided by public anxiety for solution
Of the mystery surrounding the disap-
pearance of Katherine Winters. a ten
year-old daughter Of the doctor, more
than a year ago. The theory acted
upon by the parents in their search,
that the child had been abducted by
gypsies. had something more than
plausibility to recommend it since a
camp of the nomads in the vicinity Of
/ Newcastle was suddenly broken up at
the time Katherine disappeared and
one section of the band could not be
found
The interest and sympathy Of the
whole country were enlisted by the
pathetic plight in which the parents
were left and by the sacrifice OF their
property TO pay the expense Of a ma
ton wide search. and this was accented
by syndicate stories of the disappear

the mental distress Of the doctor and
his wife which ran through the press.
But it all came 10 naught, and at the
Psychological moment when doubt

What the detective expected to
make out of the case he so ingeniOusly

Be il sun or rain We never complain,
When We start on our fishing trip;
Camp fires wan in the chilly dawn,
Cast CLEAN on the rod and tip.
oh: we hit the stream with eyes
agleam,
And shout of JOY rings forth.
We are made with glad. great times
On the Marquette fair up north.
How the appetite yearns, till the crew

From the spring stream all afoam-
Dying the flight are the wings OF night
And it's better than being home.
In the valley or lea, on land or sea,
Whence comes the spoil from out,
Tell us pray can you equal a day
On the Marquette catching trout?
Oh, there isn't at hand a record to
stand,
That compares with the JOY and glory
No thing yet done by any one
In song. in paint or story,
Can enrapture the heart like an early

With the lads and their rods and their

To the stream galore with trout in

THE June matrimonial rush is on
The young mans fancy having lightly
turned to thoughts of love early in the
spring the young wOman's fancy light

whether June weddings. though most
popular, stick any better than the we'd

WE know a party who was not mar

after 81 years he finds himself as much
married as ever and does not expect a

VALUABLE CERTIFICATE OF
CHARACTER

A j. Cermak, secretary of the
United Societies for Local Self-Govern-
ment at the, annual convention Sun
day afternoon gave the progressive
party and its representatives in the
general assembly of Illinois a Certifi-
cate of character which ought to be
valuable political asset.
$50 far as we are concerned" re-
marked Mr. Cermak, the progressive
party might just as well have been
labeled the prohibition party. Every
legislator elected on that ticket, with
one or two exceptions. voted for the
residence district option bill
No brief is held here for the pro-
gressive party. All parties. as parties.
look alike to this newspaper. 1t judges
them not by their platforms, but by
their performances; not by the re-
forms they advocate during campaigns
but by the desira BILE results they bring
about in legislation and administra-
ton.
SO judging. it feels that Mr.. Ger
maks cOndemnatOry remarks are Of
the kind than tend TO put the pro-
gressive party, in the minds of hum
dreds of thousands of voters who are
not "prohibitionists'. in the category
of organizations which may well be
loved for the enemies they have made.
Mr.. Cermak's declaration seems il
logical as well as indiscreet. He poses
as an exponent Of local self-govern-
ment" Yet he condemns members
of the general assembly for voting for
the residence district option bill".
What was that bill but a logical ap-
plication of the principle of local self
government 1t enables citizens who
did not wish saloons in the neighbOr-
hood of their homes 10 keep them at
a distance That is all The fact sug-
gestS a question:
When does local self-government
cease to be desirable?" Is Mr.. Ger
mak's answer: Whenever il restricts

logical conclusion from Mr. Cermaks
