LUCKY BASEBALL FLUKE.
Think Of Player Making Home Run

Think Of Player Making Home Run
on an Infield FIyl
I'm all the years have been attend
ing baseball games-and they are more
than I would care to number-there is
one play which stands out in my mind
as the greatest / have ever seen,' says
contributor to the American Maya
zine.
There was no wonderful skill en-
bodied in the play. 1t was, suppose,
pure luck. But the fact remains that l
have never seen it duplicated nor APP
preached, and it is, SO far as know.
unique in the annals of baseball.
1.-THE game was one between Wash
ington and Cincinnati back in the days
when Washington was in the National
league. The score was / to O in Gin
cinnati's favor in the last half Of the
ninth. Two men were out, and Wash
ington had runner on second, with
WilmOt at the bat. On the first ball
pitched Wilmot swung hard and knock
ed an infield fly, the highest / have
ever seen. The ball went up and up
until it was visible only as a tiny
speck.
with the crack of the bat the run
ner on second had started for home,
and he crossed the plate before the
ball began to fall Buck Ewing, Gin
cinnati's first baseman; McPhee, who
played second, and Germany Smith
the shortstop, all gathered between
first and second awaiting for the ball
to drop. Wilmot sped around the
bases at top speed and passed third as
the ball fell just inside the triangle of
waiting infielders.
The ball struck the hard earth OF
the base line and bounded high in the
air, Ewing having to wait for it to de-
scend second time before he could
make the throw home. Wilmot slid
around the plate and was safe, having
won the game with home run on an
infield fly, feat which has never been
duplicated in professional baseball,

Favor Suffrage.

Alexandria Post News: Senator
Nelson voted in favor of the resolu-
ton proposing an amendment to the
federal constitution giving women the
ballot; so did Senator Clapp. AL
though the measure failed to pass, not
securing the necessary two-thirds
vote, the friends of women suffrage
are nevertheless jubilant over the out
come. They had majority of one in
the United States Senatea much
stronger vote that the opponents of
the cause expected. The action of
Minnesota's senators will be gener-
ally approved here at home.

GAINESVILLE Argus: 'Tis said that
many prominent democrats admit the
impossibility of defeating Eberhart at
the primaries by. the disgruntled
eliminators or in the general cleo
ton by a democratic candidate. This
is the prime reason why such able
men as Congressman Hammond re-
fuse to get into the race. The lead
ers are looking for strong man, but
so far they have been unable to UNI
earth one who is willing to make the

1t occurs to the Times that
some of our Representatives at
Frankfort are aiming to build a
reputation this winter on the
point of economy to pay the state
debt. This is not as it should be.
The state can pay its debts and
still maintain Its institutions.
The Times believes in spending
money wherever it is necessary,
but of course it does not believe

ititions.
The whole trouble lies, in our
judgment, in an unequal assess
ment of property of the state.
If the state will tax all the wits.
key at 80 % of its real value as it
does other property, tax the coal
mines at their real value, tax the
railroads and corporations at
the book value of their stock,
there will then be plenty of mon.
ey in the Treasury next fall to
pay off the debt, and pay all de.
serving claims of the State. Try.
ing to protect large taxpayers Is
what has put the State behind,
and it will be ever so until the
discrepancy in our tax levies il
remedied.

One Kentucky editor refers to
the Third House in speaking Of
the lobbyists. He then mentions
the book trust who is always
there getting new laws passed
that will require new books. He
says it is to be hoped that the
Legislature will settle down on
some plan that will not require a
change in books at every change
in the moon.
This is the doctrine of the
Times. The books have been
changing rapidly since we can re-

The Sherman Anti Trust law is
to be amended bv this session of
Congress. The law now provides
a fine against any concern con-
spring to crush a competitor out
of business. 1t fixes heavy fines
for a violation of the law, but
does not provide for redress of
the business man who is ruined
by the larger concerns unfair ac-
tiOns. 1t has been so a rich cor
.poration could drive a small COM
petitor from business, then put
the price up and soon regain all
losses and pay the Government
heavy fines besides. The new law
will be so that the small concern
can sue its larger oppressor and
recover full damages for such H.
legal action.
Isn't this a good measure?
Then give a Democratic Congress
due credit for it and continue to
look for reform measures so long
as the people of this country are
sane enough to keep such a Con-
gress at Washington.

New Clothing House.

c. A Messer, long identified in this
city as a clothier, threw open his doors
to the public last evening under the
firm name of c. A. Messer & Co. with
headquarters at 237 Water street, the
former location of the State Trust Co.
Many of Mr.. Messers old time friends
called during the evening to wish him
success in his new venture. The oc-
casoin was suspicious in many ways.
Mr. Messer will assume entire man
agemtn of the company and associated
with him as clerks as Vincent Dun
ming, Emile Bison and Charles Pull
len.
The new stores interior is hand
somely finished in quartered oak. Mir
rors, display cases, racks and a general
supply of modern business furniture is
in evidence and adds to the beauty of
the interior. The lighting represents
tn every latest in the indirect system.
The principal line featured will be
the Capital Brand of clothes for men
which is intended to meet the demand
for medium priced good clothes. They
will be bought direct from the factory
as will be the case with all other i'm
portant lines. Fro factory to wear
err has been selected as selling

business. The basement of the store
has been fitted up with the latest ap-

1t is the wish of the Journal that the
new firm will enjoy its full share or
patronage and public confidence.

Loss of Appetite
Most Successfully Treated by Taking
Hoods SarsapariiIa.

Loss of appetite is accompanied by
loss of vitality, which is serious.
It is common in the spring because
at this time the blood is impure and
impoverished and fails to give the di-
gestive organs what is absolutely
necessary for the proper performance
of their functions.
Hoods Sarsaparilla, the old reliable
all-the-year- round medicine, is espe-
cially useful in the spring. Get
it from your druggist. BY purifying
and enriching the blood and giving
vitality, vigor and tone, it is wonder
fully successful in the treatment of
loss of appetite and the other ailments
that are so prevalent at this time. 1t
is not simply spring medicine-it is
much more than that-but it is the
best spring medicine.
Hoods Sarsaparilla makes the rich
red blood that the stomach and other
digestive organs need. Get it today
