STATEMENT FROM
MR.. RUSSELL

1
The affidavit by Mr.. G. Marley,
which appeared in the Friday morn
ing Graphic, is incorrect and mis-
leading. What actually happened is
this:
Two men appeared at the Y. M. c.
A. yesterday morning and without
stating their names one of them said
he wanted to sign the petition.
showed him the withdrawn petition
thinking that he desired to have his
name withdrawn from the whiskey
petition. After reading the petition
he informed me that he did not want
to sign my petition; that he had
signed a withdrawal request already
and wanted to get his name back on
the whiskey petition. told him that
I was not soliciting for the whiskey
petition; that l had no authority to
erase or take his name from the
withdrawal petition and that he
would have to address himself to the
court; following the same method we
were forced to pursue in getting the
names off the whiskey petition.
Mr.. Manley did not say when, or
for whom he had signed the with
drawal petition or that he had been
deceived by the one who secured his
signature. He gave no reason for
changing his mind as to which petit
ton he wanted his name to remain
on. 1 have stated all that took place
between us.
But where was the Personal Liberty
League last December when humid
reds of our citizens who signed the
whiskey petition appealed to the
Liquor League to strike their names
from the petition and were refused?
So numerous were these requests
that to forstall them one of the
liquor men gave out an interview to
the local papers to the effect that
no one would be allowed to with
draw from the liquor petition; that
oil udAuSo WOuAO We PuDAAoASu az
originally signed.
If the Personal Liberty League
would proceed by fair methods now
why not then? Again ask where
was the P. L. L. last December? Was
it in embryo until one Manley de-
veloped a grievance because he was
referred to the court when he in
quired how he might restore his name
to the whiskey petition?
Not content with an attack upon
the methods of the Prohibitionists P.
L. L. would, assail the church and
destroy it's good name and influ-
ance. Why did not this new organi.
cation attack with it's forked tighten
ing, the great Masonic Body of Ar
kansas? 1t pronounced against the
liquor traffic. u
The public will not be deceived by
personalities or misled by the dying
wall of the liquor traffic in Pine
Bluff.

Roman Custom.

It was a custom even among the
comparatively modern Romans to bury
with their little children their favorite
toys, and the custom seems to reach
back to the earliest times of which
We have any truthworthy relics. In
deed, in our own day, the doll fur
nishes striking example of that
most primitive trait, mother instinct,
for among many savage tribes, nota'
bly, the Bechuanas and the Basutos,
it is the custom for married women
to lavish their pent up mother love
upon rude dolls until the advent Of
their offspring.

TEN MAJOR CLUBS
ARE LOSING Cash
Chicago Federal Team Boss
Says Athletics Face De-
ficit For the Season.

Chicago, Sept. 30.-What is the
matter with baseball? Big league
magnates are asking themselves the
above question, and not without rea-
sons.
They are wondering why a worlds
championship ball club such as is led
by Connie Mack faces a deficit of ap-
proximately $4,000 for the season.
Also why about ten Of sixteen major
league clubs will not boast as good as
an even break for the year.
That the Athletics, admitted the
greatest team in baseball today and
one of marked drawing power, will
not wind up with the usual supply OF
surplus coin in the strong box may
seem a far-fetched declaration. This
statement was made, however, by an
owner Of an American league club to
Charles Weeghman. president of the
terday from ten-day visit in the east
Two Pay in American.
II do not care to divulge the own
er's name, but he informed me dur
ing the course of long conversation,
in which every angle Of baseball was
discussed, that only two American
league clubs would show net earn
ing for the year." said Weeghman.
"One club is the Boston Americans
Iney nave QOn6 unusually well, llo
Red Sox' own squirt along with that
of the Braves stimulating baseball in
the Hub city. The other club is Com
iskey's.
When was told vt Mack would
not show d big earn. !, for the year I
could hardly believe it. I am still
wondering how it could be possible
for a worlds championship club to
fall short in it's earnings. 1 believe it,
however"
Weeghman said further that the
Federal league is blamed for the hard
times The men/in organized base
ball believe that the Feds" in induc-
ing players to Jump contracts have
caused the public to lose confidence
in the game, hence a marked falling
off in attendance. The commercial
side has been given too much prom
inence.
Another thing discussed by Weegh-
man and the American league club
owner was the question of an amicable
settlement of the baseball war. The
Chicago Federal president was told
that peace was the only solution un
less all concerned were prepared to
lose fortunes. This is the first time
a major league boss has declared him.

VARSITY eleven
Still IMPROVES
Scrimnaging Against High
Again Today-Omcials
For Game Announced.

The university eleven, which has
shown great deal Of improvement
during the past two days, will line up
against the high school team again
this afternoon. The Minnesota game
is but three days off, and Gill is anxi-
Gus to perfect every feature of the
varsity attack.
With one or two exceptions, the
varsity squad has come through the
gruelling early-season test without in
jury. Fingarson was the victim of a
charley horse" for few days, but
was back in the lineup yesterday.
Harmon, who got blow in the high
school game, also was in harness
again yesterday.
The linemen still show improve
ment They played remarkably
strong game against the second
string men yesterday. The backfield
Is improving rapidly, too.
Yesterday, the Minnesota authori-
ties announced the officials for Satur-
days game. Gardner Of Cornell, will
referee; Haines Of Yale, will umpire;
Holderness Of Lehigh, will be field
judge and Harding Of Minnesota will
be head linesman.
The Gopher candidates are to face
the eligibility committee tomorrow
morning. after which Coach Williams
will, definitely know what material he
can depend on.

Is doubtful If any clubs outside of
Boston and New York can show a

Claim Many Stars.
Weeghman also brought back the
information that the Federal league
clubs for next year would be record
breakers. He said that Buffalo,
Brooklyn, Baltimore and Pittsburgh
had already signed a number of big
league stars. He would not give out
any Of the names, but admitted he
was greatly surprised when the signed
documents were produced. One man
supposed to have been landed Is

Up IN HIS HITTING FOR
. LINCOLN WESTERN TEAM

"Dutch" Altman. former Flick
ertail star outfielder. is doing well
with the Lincoln team in the
Western league. according to re-
ports received in the city.
When Altman first Joined the
Lincoln club. he failed to connect
with the ball safely. but now Is
hitting at a merry clip.
He played in double-header
at Lincoln Saturday. and got a
total Of six hits out of seven times
at hat.
Shortly before that. however,
Altman was at bat ten times in an
eightecn-inning game and failed
to hit once. Out of q total OF
thirty y-nine times at bat. he made
but three hits. '

Steve, the local spitball artist, is
pitching ball for the Lincoln team
and is doing well. Morse has been
winning a majority of his games
since joining the club few weeks
ago.

and, If they grab off the first two

Chance rather startles the reader
when he declares that Barry and Col
Inns are a better pair than Tinker and
Evers at their best. The Philadelphia
men have slackened their speed, he
says, but he still looks to see them
out-shine the Boston pair.
We have a hunch, though, that this
Maranville-Evers pair will cut quite
some caper In that worlds series af-
fair. And it may be that Barry and
Collins will not look quite 80 fast.
It Is to Laugh.
This superstition bugaboo seems to
be quite a popular lad these days.
Christy Mathewson has all but tied
to it as an alibi for the Giants. Lis
ten to this from Christy's mighty
typewriter:
The superstition over q club win
the Giants this year, I know. 1t has
been hanging over us all season.
Everyone, from McGraw down, has
known it, but none of us has mention
ed it until lately"
This efrulgence appeared in Mon
days New York American. In the
same edition, Christy made the re-
markable statement that: 1.-THE
Braves look pretty sure winners now"
Considering the fact that all the
Braves had to do to grab the pennant
n MT Iii I,4
Giants were taking eleven, that was
quite concession for Christy to
make.
Ready for the Next.
The National league pennant act
has ended, and the performers have
now turned their attention to the
worlds series climax.
BY winning yesterdays game while
the Giants were dropping one, the
braves cinched the flag.
II the Giants should win all their
remaining games and the Braves lose
all theirs. the latter team still would
win. They would have q percentage
of SIS, while the Giants would finish
with .57i.
The Giants begin a five-game Sc
ries with the Braves today, SO it's
hard to see how they'll be able to win
all their remaining games.
If the Russians prove as good
guessers as Stallings, they ought to
win the pennant in the Kaiser Will
helm league by January 1.
If there's no baseball next summer
this column will be turned over to
some social-uplift society.
