Base Ball
UNION GIANTS VS.. SHAFER
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

Last Sunday witnessed another
good game. 1t was an ideal day
except little chilly, a large crowd
was out, a double-header game.
The first game was long drawn
out one and the second game was
late finishing, but everybody stay
ed who could. There was a bar
rel of fun. The teams played
nick and tuck for most of the
time. The umpiring was good,
with one or two questionable de-
cisions on 1st. base in favor of the
home team. When there is a
close run the decision is to be in
favor of the runner,
In the first game, for the Giants,
slim" Taylor pitched and did
clever work, Capt. wright had an
indominable enemy, the sun,
which caused him to drop several
"beauts." The Seals did fine field
catching. Poston held down 1st-
score II to 9 for Giants. Second
game 7 innings-Poston in box,
Jones catching, this was a fine
game. Poston struck out 7 and
S. S. struck out 6, one double play
was made by either side. Cansler
and Jones did clear work in this
game, no ripples except two de-
cisions on LIST.
The rooters, led by chiefs
Washington and Gibbs, awoke
and the onslaught began, Taylor
made daring run III home cry
ing hit it, hit it," and Poston
obeyed, scoring Taylor. The
game was exciting throughout.
1t will not be amiss to start thu
games at 2:30 SO as to get out ear
lier every Sunday.

COLORED BOYS Co
ING ASTRAY.

Again, we call your attention
to the wandering, shiftless, lazy
Colored boy.
Boys from the age of II to Is
are to be seen on Washington
ST., hanging around Lunch
stands, saloon doors and the
Pekin Theatre. Why are they
not at School or at home? They
are seen in the forenoon, after
noon and evenings from 6 to
$50 p. M, on the streets.
Parents the blood will be re-
quired of you. When these
good-for-nothing fellows reach
the age of 1S-2O-22 you will
find them in jail, without friends
and without a common school
education.
We desire to ask what are
the duties of the truant officers?
What are the duties of the po-
lice? What is the matter with
the parent, do not the parents
know that these boys will cause
them (the parents) to shed un-
necessary tears ere long? Now
is the time TO teach the boy
and make him obey, if a boy
desires to sell papers let him do

your children up at home, send
them to school at any cost and

this advice you will pay costly
for your transgression 8. Re-
member what Rev. Manuel said
Sunday, "He that would have
friends, must show himself

ton to the price it will cost
you. 1t will cost you more to
let your boy run at large than
it will for you to get up early

NO B. B. PEACE SAYS BRUCE
Chairman of National Commission

AND o. B. B. WILL BE VICTOR


NEW YORK, Dec. A-John 70. Bruce,
secretary OF the National commission. Il
OF tho opinion that the base bali war
ia bound to continue until one side is
thoroughly exhausted. OF course, like
all champions OF the organized cause.
he believes the Federal league Is the

manner with the independents. Further
that n propaganda with some sort of am
icable settlement as It's object started
by certain club owners OF the National
league is fast losing favor and has been
practically abandoned.
Mr.. Bruce returned few days ago
to Cincinnati after spending several days
in this city.
There was time when II might
have been possible for certain hackers
OF the Federal league TO buy into the
major leagues. though / do not think
that at any time they could have pur-
chased any interest in the American
league. But that time appears to have
passed. The reorganization OF the Gin
einnau club has left August Hermann.
Its president. in absolute command. and
at the same time has eliminated a board
OF directors whose several conflicting
policies always proved handicap in the
conduct of the business management.
The Britton interests have decided to
string along with Miller Higgins and the
st. Louis Cardinals. Charles p. Taft Will
not sell the Cubs at any price near that
which the independents have been willing
to pay.

that the Federals have weakened their
cause rather than strengthened II by
forfeiting two Of the eight franchises.
This Is interpreted as a sign OF grave
weakness The talk of an invasion OF
Manhattan Is not even taken seriously.
In most quarters It is hoped that the
independents do invade New York, as the
consequent expense will be just so much
the heavier.
THE Federal league has figured be-
yond one Of the fundamental principles
OF sport sentiment. Sentiment Is some
thing that cannot be forced on an I'M
willing public. The general public has
never warmed TO the revolutionary fac
tion because its invasion encroached upon
the sentiments OF base ball followers en-
gendered through years of nursing on
the part OF the men OF Organized base
ball, who made the sport what II Is.
There is no demand for a third major
league, In other words. No one can force
on the public that for which It does not
care, no matter what financial power
there may be behind the movement"
Secretary Bruce of the commission de-
clares that base ball is as popular today
as ever. II not more popular. He makes
this assertion in spite Of the fact that
1915 was lean season in base ball gen.
