through his whiskers and his
clothes. He has no place to sleep
or eat, his only refuge is the
street, his shelter heavens vault !;
| see him in the storm abroad. aud
say. But for the grace of God.
there goes your Uncle Walt.
John Doe with gifts was richly
blest he might have distanced all
the rest had Fortune kindly been.

uf shifts and turns to gain his
daily bread, the while another

PECK QUITS PLACE
AS LEAGUE UMPIRE

Roy Peck Wednesday sent in his
resignation to the new head Of the
Indiana State league, because, says
Roy, Such rowdy actions as I had to
put up with last Sunday, and not hav-
ing my decisions backed up by the
league. impressed me that it was
time that disengage from service"
President Leslie has answered
Roy's letter of resignation asking him
to reconsider his action, because the
league considered him a worthy man
to have on it's roster. Peck, however,
says that his action is final and that
he is through.
Just who will procured to take his
place is not known, but three persons
are under consideration, Goodwin and
Mccarthy of Indianapolis, and Harry
Ross of New Castle. Goodwin is not
favored much by the local club, as
he has shown that he is home UNI
pire. Mccarthy might do, but will try
to hold out for more money than the
league is willing to offer him. Harry
Ross has been seen in action and is
considered the best man of the lot by
those who have seen him perform.
