GRAY MARE CAUSED TROUBLE
Umpire at Ball Game Tells Fans Cause
Of commotion and the Game Is
Proceeded With.

Jack Holland of the st. Joseph
Western league club tells this story:
One afternoon last summer when
the Omaha and Sioux City teams Of
the Western league were indulging in
a hot battle a commotion occurred at
n end of the grand stand in the
first named city. The several hundred
fans rushed through the aisles of the
stands, every one ~craning his neck
over another's shoulder in an at
tempt to discern the cause of the trou-
BILE.
Finally the umpire held up his
hands as a signal for the contest to
halt; then, removing his mask and
donning his hat he approached the
stands, in a loud voice he cried:
Ladies' and men, A hush fell.
The umpire cleared his throat, then
proceeded with the announcement:
81 want to say to the owner of
that gray mare that she's down and
can't get up. Thank you. Play ball
And the game was continued"

SOME FREAK HURLERS
Few Players Who Can Use Either
Hand in Pitching.
Keenan, Of Youngstown Could Work
Equally Well With Either Arm
corcoran Tried to "Come
Back" With Left Hand.

Followers of baseball have often
heard of the fellow who could pitch
q fast ball with either hand and make
1t curve also, but few have seen n
of these pitching freaks.
Baseball history tells of a chap
named Owen Keenan,. who pitched for
Youngstown, o., In 1885. Keenan,
could pitch equally we'll with either
arm. On the Fourth of July OF that
season this wonder pitched W. games
of ball against New Castle and beat
that team in both contests. He worked
his left arm in the first game and
used his right wing In the second con-
test, with the odds In favor of the
right whip.
The famous Larry Corcoran of the
Chicago team, in the early SOS was
one Of the great hurlers of the Pc
Rod. Larry lost the use of his won
derful right arm during the season
of 1885. This almost broke his heart,
for Larry was not old in years.. II
dawned upon him that he might make
a l%eft-handed pitcher, for he was al
ways clever at throwing with his left,
n used to practice frequently. In
the season of 1886 Corcoran signed
with a Southern league team as a left
handed pitcher and reported for
practice as such. He worked hard to
gain control, for he developed rare
speed. Larry pitched a few exhibit
ton games, and in one of them he
kinked his remaining wing 80 bad
ly that he was released, sc he had
to quit the game. for he had run out
of pitching arms.
So the a~mbidextrous hurler is more
or less of a myth. The pitching game
is too strenuous for any kind Of an
arm but the good natural wing.

The famous old Cub machine had a
comedian in the person of Ed Reul-
bach. the lanky pitcher, now with the
Newark Federals. One of his favorite
expressions when in a facetious mood
was, II have a scheme"
Johnny Evers writes that he will
never forget one of Eds schemes.
THE Cubs were in Pittsburgh one
day. and it was Reulbach's turn to

game that he does not intend to stand
on the sack until a safe swat sends
him on. He wants to rely on himself.
SO he usually sets sail for the next
station. That station may be the
home plate. for Dolan makes three
base hits at times But this does not
scare Cory, II the pitcher is careless
or spends too much time winding up,
the fleet Cardinal is likely TO steal
home or to try to steal home.
Higgins likes that style of play. 1t
does not always prove successful, but
Huggins says it helps to rattle the op-
posing pitcher. and ratified pitchers
lose games.

ROSE FROM THE RANKS

When Count Berchtold resigned
as minister of foreign affairs for Aus
tria-Hungary and it was announced
that Baron Stephen Burian de Rajecz
had been appointed to the position,
there was a hurried search through
books of reference for facts concern
ing this man who was to guide the
destinies of a great empire at a most
critical time. The search was almost
in vain, for he had been practically
unknown to the world at large. He
is an example of the possibility of
rising from the ranks to the highest
position in the state merely by doing
his full duty wherever he was placed.
Baron Burian was born in Stomfa,
Ponsony county, Hungary. in 1851. He
did not inherit the title of a baron at
his birth. His father was a member of
the nobility. but did not belong to the
aristocracy.

TO the officers and members of

O..
We, your committee on reso-
Iutions for Sister Thorpe in the loss
of her husband, James Owen Thorpe,
beg to report the following:
RESOLVED, That as the ruthless
hand of death has silenced for a
time the husband of Sister Thorpe,
we tender to her our sincere SYM
pathy and condolences and direct
her to that source of comfort in
this hour of her sorrow, the all
wise Father, who has never failed
to relieve all who come to him, with
aching and troubled hearts. We
may for time be separated from
our loved ones, but the powers of
death are circumscribed by bound
aries of time; to the eternal shores
he is never admitted, and to the
loved ones already there he is shOrn
of his terrorS, and the hope of the
faithful in this world are frightened
and cheered at the prospects of an
eternal association in that great day
after tomorrow; and,
RESOLVED, That a copy of these
resolutions be presented to Sister
Thorpe, copy be given to The
GRAHAM GUARDIAN for publication
and a copy be spread upon the
minutes Of this Lodge.
Respectfully submitted in

HEAD AS A TROPHY
Mexican Bandits Exhibit an
American Soldiers Head
in Mexican Camp

The head of Private Richard }.
johnson, United States cavalryman,
missing since Fridays battle hear
Prugreso, Texas. has been exhibit d
as a trophy on the Mexican side of
the Rio Grande, was the, statement
made Tuesday night by Mexican
prisoner to HidaIgo county officers
at Pharr, Texas, according to a re-
port which reached here. The Of.
ficerS admitted that they were hoid
ing the Mexican in connection with
the disappearance of the soldier,
but becdned to confirm the report
Considerable feeling already has
manifested itself among American
soldiers on the lower border because
of the killing of their comrades, and
it was feared in Brownsville that the
effect Of such a confession on the
United States soldiers might cause
serious trouble.
Whether Johnson was killed on
the American side and his body tax
en- to the Mexican side, or whether
he was taken across the river with
his horse and gun and killed on the
Mexican side, still is unknown. Old
timers familiar with the border
bandits and their ways considered it
probable, however, that he was shot
to death on the American side of the
river, his body taken in skiff and
decapitated on the Mexican side Of
the river, where the Mexicans could
work more leisurely.
The presence along the south bank
of the Rio Grande of large colony
of MeXicans, who are believed to be
waiting an opportunity to cross to
the American side and begin an at
tack on the border patrol, was re
ported to army officers at Browns
vile. The colony is believed to eX-
tend along the Rio Grand distance
of several miles, with the south
western flank resting on point
about thirty.five miles from Browns
vile.
Mountain guns have been ordered
from Ell Paso for use by the Ameri-
can troops in the event of emergency.
it was announced.
Colonel A, P. BIockson, command
er of Fort Brown, and Major Edwin
Anderson, of the Twelfth Cavalry,
inspected the posts in the ProgresO
district Tuesday. Extensive patrol
plans were perfected in order to
frustrate an invasion.
The Rio Grande at Progreso is out
Of it's banks, rendering the Ameri-
can side Of the river more than
ordinarily vulnerable to the landing
of Mexican expedition on the
American shore. With boats MeXi
cans might readily cross the river
where American patrols could not
get view of them and pole their
boats through chapparal to secret
landing places in the thickets.
