honors in the recent worlds

BY both teams IN the five games, a
trifle less than "A to the game. The
pitchers all had good control and the
passes averaged less than four per

THEY talked of Snodgrass's $4,000
error in a recent worlds series
and now they are talking of Harry
Hooper's $4,000 home run. Had
Hooper failed to make that second
homer in the final game, the Phillies
might have won and another game
would have benefited the club owners
to the extent Of $4,000.

) there is nothing too good for the
FL Paso baseball fans and when he
heard that the National and Ameri-
can league all-stars would be as close
to Fl Paso as Pueblo, on their way to
the coast, he got busy with the tele-
graphs and made them an offer TO
take a run south on the Santa Fe
for couple of games in this city.

"PUG" BENNETT, one Of the best
known second basemen IN the
national game, was a visitor in FL
Paso for a few days last week.
When "Pug" finished his days as a
major league star, he went to Seattle
as captain Of Dugdale's team in the
Northwestern league. He managed
the club two seasons, but times were
hard in the northwest this year and
Bennett drew his release. He had
friends at Miami and went there to
take a good position and has been
filling in at the keystone sack Of the
Miami club. While no longer a
yOungster, he can still handle him
self with skill and speed. He will
be with the Miami club when it plays
a series here next week.

bud BURMESTER, manager of
Gene belmont, writes from Mem
phis that 'there is a chance of Gene
belmont meeting Ad Wolgast in a
bout in Juarez in the near future"
Burmester asserts that belmont gave
Wolgast a hard battle at Memphis
at only a days notice and with a
longer period in which to train, he
will "most assuredly take the de-
cision easy" Burmester's account of
the Memphis bout is hardly in
accord with that sent out by the
Associated Press. However, who are
the brave promoters?
COMMERCIAL league fans are not
yet satisfied that the Army
league has the faster teams. Presi-
dent ". H. Pelphrey, of the CONNER
ciaI league, wants to arrange a
series Of five games between the
10th infantry and an all-star team of
his selection, the games to be played
at Washington park, the home field
of the Commercials.
I 0CAL fans have heard many tales
of the ability of Graham, the
Army finger, and since he came here
from Douglas, Graham has not lost a
game. However, he has not yet
tackled any tough teams and his real
worth remains to be tested in the
exhibition game at Rio Grande park
on Wednesday afternoon between the
10th infantry and the Kansas City
leaguers, in which Graham will be
opposed by Rustenhaven, a south
paw Of acknowledged ability.
A MOTHER point in the worlds
series that should not be over
looked is that when the Red Sox
won the final game, Pat Moran, man
ager Of the PhiIies, went to the Bos-
ton bombproof and congratulated
Carrigan and his crew. To the news
papermen, he stated that the best
team had won and that the Sox were
deserving of every credit. Grover
Alexander said, "Hats off to the Red
Sox," when the beaneaters COPIED the
honors. The Phillies are proving
themselves just as game losers as
they were winners.

Throw out the life line! The, grand
old ship, British Morality, cut adrift
by the war, is slipping out to sea amid
fog, storm and breakers, and the
coast guard is by no means sure that
all hands will not be lost.
The very essence of the British
system of ethics, it's first command
ment, is that any such subject as il
legitimate children we must pass
with stern and averted faces, while
with hand uplift in horror we motion
sinners to punishment.
It is from this safe anchorage, hal
lowed by tradition, that the national
ship has gone adrift in way to make
silence impossible.
When the youths of the land were
enlisted for its defense they were
placed in training camps scattered
about the country Lately the dis
covery has been made that in the
neighborhood of every training camp
a large number of unmarried women
expect soon to become mothers.
The situation thus created is awk-
ward. By some of the powers that
be and eminent statesmen a strong
though yelled campaign has been car
ried on to secure some such result as
this, but to secure it under the sacred
seal of lawful wedlock. To have ba-
bies born without that formality is
very different and very embarrassing

strictest moality.

CONFINED TO INSANE HOSPITAL

The walls of the hospital for men
tai diseases now confine Miss Alice
Dickerson, long the foe of police and
landlords.
For years, the books of the police
stations, have been adorned with the
name of alice Dickerson." For many
years she resided in our district.
The last straw in Miss Dickerson's
career came last week, when she
watched her brother, William Dick
erson, die without medical aid, in
their home at 1854 ST. Thomas street.
Neighbors notified the police that
the man was dying and that the wo-
man refused to call physicians. Ser
geant Johnson, of the Sixth precinct,
went to the house and after battling
way through a pack of dogs, he
found the man near death on a dirty
cot. The woman sat beside him. She
refused to let the police touch him.
Dies After Reaching Charity Hospital
Corporal Johnson talked with Miss
Dickerson, while a policeman sum-
moned the ambulance. Mr.. DECKER
son died shortly after the ambulance
reached the hospital. He died of
pneumonia.
1t is computed in the police station
that Miss Dickerson has been evicted
from no fewer than l ) houses.
She has appeared before nearly ev-
cry court in Louisiana to complain
that she was the victim of police per-
secution. She is constantly fighting
with her neighbors and when she is
arrested she says that the police are
aligned with her neighbors in perse-
cutting her.
