NOTES FROM %ExCHANGES.

Hon. M. w. Reilly, candidate for gov
ernor, spoke to a large audience here
last Thursday evening in the inter est
of his candidacy. Mr.. Reilly is a mar
of very pleasing appearance, a good
mixer and a good speaker. H, has
elevated his campaign above the mud
singing, fire-dog- appeal to = prejudice
type and we believe he is making an
impression on the intelligent people
over the state that will be rememt cred
when the voting time comes. Ripley

The curse of many of our country
communities is the spirit of bitterness
and strife. A man falls out with a
neighbor about some trivial matter,
and then quits his church and takes
vengeance on the community by refus-
ing to send his children to school. 1t
is distressing, but true, nevertheless,
that children are often allowed to grow
up in ignorance an account of some IA
TIERS llttleness and n of spirit.
some people still "cut off the nose to
spite the face. "-Hattiesburg Tribune.

pathetically inadequate indeed now that
the great nations that rejected the
propositions are filling a continent with
armed strife. 1t is estimated that
about so per cen of the population of
Europe is involved in war, and that

"Snitty'' the Cherub, Plays Baseball

Bowlegs" himself had tried for twenty minutes ono day to bat one through him;" but "Smitty'' had handled them all without an error.
 When 1t came to batting. however. "Smitty" was strictly not there. An easy straight one, shoulder high, could come sailing beautifully over the very heart of the plate-and "Smitty'' would give a fine imitation of the mighty Casey striking out. If he he considered it truly an occasion for congratulations.
 But Billy Bowlegs" knew that he had in "Smitty' the best fieluer in the choir; so. despite his weakness at the bat, he placed him on second base for the great game with the walters. And "Smitty" had dug them out of the dirt and yanked them down from the sky throughout the entire eight innings of play without so much as a single miscue.
 And now. in the ninth inning, with the score standing St. LulSe's IS, Wait CTS 12, the latter went to bat to try to tie the score and maybe, win out. The first waiter up smashed a sizzling grounder to "Smitty:" but that agile youngster, still smiling angelically. grabbed it up and tossed out the slew footed waiter at first base, with yards to spare. And through the applause or, rather, the yells of delight from
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-08-09

the side-lines. "smitty" continued to smile seraphically.
 But then, things began to happen "Old Jack" the black cook and prime favorite with the choristers. lost considerable of his popularity by hit ting the ball so hard that. despite his excess avoirdupois, he drew up trum- phantly at first base before the ball could be retrieved.
 And, next, "One Lung''-which was the name the boys had given him. goodness knows why-stepped to the plate and laid out nice single just over the shortstop's head. This, of course, moved "Old Jack" up to sec- ond base.
 It looked pretty bad-even the most ardent rooter for St. Luke's had to admit as much. With a runner on first and second, only one out and one run needed to tie the score and--marlS you--with Rastus Robbins, the demon slugger of the Walters team at the bat, 1t indeed looked as though a tie would be the very worst that could befall them.
 But, that was true. provided you did not figure "Smitty" in the equation. It was what he did that broke up the game, with St. Luke's the winner by the score of 13 to 12. And it--includ- ing "Smitty's" lightning thinking, of course-happened in this fashion:
 Rastus had no strikes and three balls in his favor when, true to his blood. he could not resist the tempta- ton to take a healthy swing at the next ball straight over the plate. He caught just enough of 1t on the end of his bat to send 1t sky-rocketing aloft in high, twisting fly which rose and rose and then started to descend about thirty feet back of second base. well out of the infield. of course. ' "smitty'' was right under 1t. with hands upstretched ready to catch It. Provided he did that. it would make the second out, with neither of the runners advanced an inch. And not a single boy of St. Luke's choir had any real apprehension but what ''Smitty" would catch the ball.
 Down, down, down 1t came. "Old Jack" had moved along the base-line toward thlrd a soou tci icct, reduy to run back to the bag if the ball was caught. And, between first and sec- ond "One Lung was doing the same thing on1y-he was halfway down the base-line, being much more agile and reckless than "Old Jack" { Down, down, down came the ball right into "Smitty's" waiting glove and then right out again!
 A groan as from convicts on the rack went up from the spectators. It was an error!
 "Smitty," the sure-delder, had missed an easy pop-fiy!
 But that was as fast as they were able to think; and "Smitty" was all ready two laps ahead of them. Quick as flash he snatched up the ball from the ground and hurled it straight and true, to Bill Williams. the St. Luke's short-stop. who was standing within a few feat of second base.
 "Touch second Bill and shoot 1t to third!" yelled "Smitty'' as the ball left his hand. Quick! Quick! Touch sec ond!"
 And Bill did, too, though he was simply obeying the imperative note in i "Smitty's. voice and not thinking Tor

 There was a letle argument anent the rule of a pop-fiy to the infield be- ing an "out." whether caught or not. when there was a runner on first.

 And, in standardization of his claim. he cited game in the American League--only a few weeks ago-be- tween Washington and New York--in which precisely that same play was made and so ruled upon by the umpires.
 But as to "Smitty"-well, those curly locks of his and that cherubic smile still conceal the true facts in the case. He alone knows whether or not he purposely dropped the ball.
 But those in the choir who had
