Ball Players
Of Prominence

In the June American Magazine
Ring w. Lardner writes another
amusing baseball story. This month
he talks about Ty Cobb, of the De-
troit Tigers, whom he calls the great
est player in the business. or Cobb's
ability to draw crowd Lardner
writes in part as follows:
"They's somethin' fascinatin in
just lookin' at the baby.
Il amt alone in thinkin' that, nei-
Their. I don't know how many peo-
pie he draws to the ball parks in a
year, but it's enough TO start a big
manufacturin' town and a few sub
urbs. You heard about the crowd
that was out to the Sox park the Sun
day they was two rival attractions
in town. II was in the spring, be-
fore you come. Well, It was some
crowd. Now, O. course, the Sox draw
good at home on any decent Sunday,
but I'm tellin' you they was a few
thousands out there that'd of been
somewheres else II Cobb had of
stayed in Georgia.
Il was in Boston two or three years
ago this summer and the Tigers come
along there for serious O. five games
includin' a double header. The De-
troit club wasn't in the race and
neither was the Red Sox. Well, cir,
! seen every game and bet they was
| seventy thousand others that seen
em, or better'n fifteen thousand a
day for four days. They was soIle
that was there because they liked
baseball. They was others that was
stuck on the Red Sox. They was still
others that was strong for the De-
troit club. And they was about
twenty-five or thirty thousand that
didn't have no reason for comm ey
cept this guy I'm telling you about
You can't blame him for holdin' out
oncet in awhile for little more mon
ey. You can't blame the club for
slippin' 1t to him, neither.
"They's a funny thing I've noticed
about him and the crowds. The fans
in the diff'rent towns hates him he
cause he's beat their own team out OF
so many games. They hiss him when
he pulls off somethin' that looks like
dirty ball to 'em. Sometimes rhcy
get so mad at him that you think
they're goin' to tear him to piercs
They holler like bunch of Indians
when some pitchers good enough OF
lucky enough to strike him out. AID
at the same time, right down In thei!
hearts. they're disappointed bssauaC
he did strike out.
"How do know that? Well, kid
I've felt it myself, even when I val
pullin' agin Detroit. I've talked t.
other people and they've told me tina
they felt the same way. When the!
come out to see him, they expect L
see him do somethin'. They're glat
II he does and glad If he don't. The!
are sore at him II he don't beat thei
team and they're sore II he does Il
: funny thing and ] amt goin to 81

have showers-showers without and
showers within and without further
preliminaries, shall proceed to give
n few accounts Of these showers

alive with the ring of merry laugh
ter the occasion being a shower on

we're beautifully decorated and the
forty.fve guests royalty entertained
at music, games, and most delicE
Gus luncheon. Special mention must
be made of the beautiful trousseau
and the elegant pieces of fancy work
made by Miss Schow's own skillful
hands. Mr.. Elmer Stoddard Is the
happy recipient of the heart OF Miss
Lydia and the marriage will take
place June 2, in the Logan Temple.
A coy home awaits them In High
Creek where they must expect to re-
ceive many callers especially during
the present summer months, as they
have chosen their location in one
Of those dreamy hooks that you read
about. The many friends OF Lydia
and Elmer extend sincere wishes for
n happy and prosperous future.

Prevailing
|naccuTaC\

Washington, d. c., May\31.-As
compared with the Republicans we
are an unframed mob with little
knowledge of parliamentary law and
with very little effective knowledge
Of the rules"
Senator Tillman, Democratic sena.
tor from South Carolina, spoke these
words in an address to the United
States Senate. In the light of sub
sequent events they have become .
warning and a prophecy.
The laws enacted during the last
two years are crude and faulty to the
last degree. AS illustrative Of this
fact, a few notable examples Of the
many blunders contained In the tariff
bill alone have been hitherto publish.
ed.
'"Lest we forget" brief summary
of these examples follows. merely to
emphasize the general principle of
mac suracy prevailing in the Demo.
cratic laws:
/. The tariff bill as whole was a
blunder, because 1t was a revenue
measure that produced many mhions
OF dollars less than were needed. a
depleted treasury being the result.
2. The provision for a five per cent
discount in duties on merchandise
imported in American vessels, in
volving millions of dollars, was de
clared imperative by the Attorney
General over year ago, and went to
the Court of Customs Appeals.
3. Another provision affecting hun
dreds of business concerns is before
the same court because of the inser-
ton of an obscure phrase that neith.
er customs officials, lawyers nor busi-
ness men affected could understand.
4. A vital provision in the income
tax law, part of the tariff bill, re-
lating to deductions allowed in com
courts like hundreds of others.
8. The entire income tax provision
has been pronounced by the Taxation
Committee of the American Bar AS
ISOLATION, a nonpartisan body, "as
open to the gravest objections both
in structure and specific defects,
twenty-five imperfestions being point
ed out.
6. Necessity for amending this law
has forced administration officials tc
the work of formulating a report OF
| its crudities, as basis for amend
ment by Congress.
! ia On innumerable occasions during
the debate on the tariff and otheI
bills, Republican floor leader James
r. Mann, Of Illinois cautioned thu
majority to use greater care, ant
gave one reason for the dividing lin,
between the two sides OF the Hous
as "a lack Of information" On the par
Of the Democrats.
Like Senator Tillman's utterance
these words have assumed prophet
meaning. Literally hundreds Of OIL
er blunders in tariff bill might b
cited, Typical examples have bee
, referred to because they show til
, Logical results that followed the en-
: ployment of slovenly, inaccurate m
thods OF legislation,
Practically every important sta
;, ute passed by the present admin
. tration is likewise honeycombed wit
needless imperfections, that must |
corrected by expensive legal proc
dure or legislative action. They Al
facts with which everyone should b
:, come familiar, and with that obje
" in view the subject will be dealt wi
in future articles.
