 Boston. July is. .---Remarrks alleged tc have been made from the side lines by Captain Ewers of the Boston Braves during last Tuesday's baseball game with the St. Louis Catdina1sfare l to be the subject of the investigation which President Tener will riaa ke here today, according to an announcement 1, received here from New York yester- lday.
 g The Braves captain, taking excep- tipn to decision by Umpire Rigler, who declared Bescher safe at the plate on a close play, was quoted in news raper as having shouted They're trying to get the crowds out: they've ordered a close race; leave them alone boys; they're only following instruc- tinns..}
 M Esvers later expressed indignation hecause his remarks had been inter preted as claim that the National Hague race was 'fixed.'- Tie said 1
 ."I claim no such thing. I've been N in baseball long enough to know bet ter. To be sure. might have said any
 
 tire hands you one like Rigler did at the home plate, what you say will in variabIv be the result of hard feeling Bt the time. You're out there fighting, aNd anything you can get away with goes Nobody living could fix race like the one in the National league just now. It's the greatest ever, and we all have chance"
 There is absolutely ne truth in the story that Captain Evers said that the National league race was fixed" de- eiared Manager Stallings of the Braves. sI have personally made a. thcrough investigation of the report End find it to be false. Johnny Evers has been with me two years, and a straighter and more honorable player cannot be found
 Eyers has devoted the best years of his lifeSto organized basepall, and 1t IS absurd to suppose that he would now attempt to tear 1t down. A few years ago he had an opportunity to Sunp to the outlaws. Instead he stayed by organized ball, and is now, as ever, one of it's most loyal mem bers.

How the Monroe Niggers Get
Religion

How the Monroe Niggers Get
Religion
The Monroe Journal tells in
the following manner how some
Of the towns colored citizens get
religion:
Jack and Lonnie are two we'll
known little darkeys around
Monroe. They are brothers and
are always quarreling at each
other, but otherwise are INSOFAR
able. Some time ago, Lonnie
went Oh the mourners bench at
one of the colored churches and
got" religion.
Now there wasn't anything un-
usual about that, but Lonnie pos
sesses rather erratic nature and
has for years rested the appeals
of his pastor; so, when the pas.
tor saw Lonnie at last give heed
to his pleadings, he was overjoy-
ed. So much was his Joy. that
he asked Lonnie to prayswith the
following apology to- the older
bretheren.
"Of course. Brother Lonnie is
young head, but it don't make
no difference, for it's a smart
one"
Lonnie arose, gave few
grunts, shut his eyes as tight as
possible and reared back his
head in PRAYER:
"Oh, Lord. bless my brother,
Jack.
"Ch, Lord, bless eberybody.
"Oh, Lord, bless my brother,
Jack.
''Oh, Lord''bless eberybodv.
"Oh, Lord, hit my brother
Jack in the belly with a Jere-
miah hammer"
On another occasion, Will
Pethel, also a well ll-known uar-
key around town, went up to
the mourner's bench, they say.
This action ON the part of Will
caused even more surprise than
Lonnie's similar one, as not only
the pastor but practically the en-
tire congregation had conspired
to save Willis soul.
Besides Will. there was also a
number of other candidates" to
be prayed for On the mourner's
bench. The preacher exhorted
and he warned. He preached
and heIpreached. Finally, ali Of
-..AeA..'canaddiidates, save Will,
arose and shifted the sand out
of their shoes. Long about two
O'Clock in the morning the
preacher was still praying to the
Lord to clean Brother Pethel's
shoes.
Finally, the preacher decided
to 60 over to the candidate and
whisper few words privately
in the ears of the erstwhile can
didate. Gently he whispered,
but still no response. Finally,
he became so exasperated that
he grabbed Willis head and help
it up. Then he saw the result
OF his labor, as Brother Pethel

ing been asleep all the time.

The work of the Commission has a
real economic value. There are 1855
miles of running streams in Kentucky,
which under present conditions pro-
duce considerably over one million dol
lars worth of food fish each year, when
figured at 10 cents per pound, which
could easily be doubled If the laws of
the state be enforced.
In 1912 the game wardens captured
and destroyed 1 ,eSS hoop and wing nets,
81 seines and traps, and tore out 80
dams and fall traps. Il Is estimated
that one hoop net viii take 1000
