PRESIDENT OF AMERICAN LEAGUE AND TWO uMPIREs

the trenches in Europe-guess they'd be willing to take chance behind the plate," chimed in Dineen.
 Then the subject turned to the ques- tion of brass bands playing in baseball parks of the American league.
 q want you umpires to stop bands from footing while the teams are play ing" said President Johnson. Let them blow away all they want to be- tween innings, but the lid is on music after the game is resumed. Fans come out to see high-class baseball and don't want to be disturbed by a medley of discords. They can go to the amuse- ment parks and hear good music for a dime"
 There is one form of music President Johnson and the umpires of his circuit will not attempt to stop, and that is whistling on the part of ball players. Ray Schalk is probably the ablest war bier in the Major leagues and whistles constantly in the heat of spirited bat tie.
 It is one of Schalk's methods of gin gering up and encouraging the pitcher with whom he is working.

1.-The heat wave and the hot race have combined to make things lively in the American league-the lot of an arbitrator in that circuit isn't soft one this year. We fail to notice any flowery beds of ease."-Bill Deneen, veteran umpire.
 The pitching in the American league is good in spots, this veteran says, and the hurlers are beginning to warm to their tasks. He has been through the mill and knows whereof he speaks. Dineen helped win a worlds flag for Boston in 1903.
 In a flaming bee Dineen and Con- molly admitted they expected lots of trouble from scrappy ball players, but both were glad they had man with an iron will back of their decisions.
 "Say, I'd rather be in Mexico than be out here umpiring game of base ball in the American league this year" said a fan.
 "There are worse posts than that of an arbitrator" replied Connolly. "One doesn't have to look far to see them, either"

 STORIES

Rumor has it that Ty Cobb is go- ing into the movies.
 The Athletic club has signed Catch CT Stanley F. Karl of Shamokin, Pa.
 Herbert Hunter, the Giants young third base,nan, is ready to jump into the lineup.
 Bert Daniels, once a Yankee, and now with the Louisvilles, is laid up with broken leg.
 The Boston Red Sox have turned Pitcher Dick McCabe over to Hartford of the Eastern league.
 Jack Coombs pitches an average of one fast ball to each batsman, or about 35 in an ordinary game.
 Hughie Jennings has turned reform CT. He now insists on putting an end to loud and profane-mouthed fans.
 Rube Schauer, the Giants extra pitcher, has been released to the Louisville club of the American as- sociation.
 George Sisler of the Browns is an idol in St. Louis, where the critics say that he is a greater ball player than Ty Cobb.
 The Sioux City club has traded In- fielder Callahan to the Vernon Club of the Pacific Coast league for Don Rader and $2,OOO.
 Manager Lee Fohl says that the Red Sox are hitting so poorly their great pitching staff cannot win the pennant for them.
 The St. Louis Cardinals have offered to purchase or take in trade the great Ping Bodie, now with Harry Wolver- tons San Francisco Coast leaguers.
 Lee Fohl, as a cure for wildness, recommends glasses for Laudermilk. Yet many's the pitcher who has suf- fered because of too many glasses.

Hardships Come First.

Lucky" Baldwin was one of the well-known characters on the Pacific coast up to few years ago, when he died. His case is contradictory in a way, as his Tuck" came only after such struggles and hardships as few men go through. AS a prospector he was near death many times and lived in desperate poverty for the greater part of his life. Then he made a strike In prospecting which left him fabulous ly wealthy. His sobriquet of Lucky is decided misnOmer here, especially as family troubles and litigation en- bittered his last years.
 In glancing over the list of those who control the largest fortunes in this country, it Is often impossible to realize how it comes that men of such varying qualities attain success.
 Where does this success come from, anyway? Is it foresightness, is it strength of character, force of person ality?
 Or is it quality called luck?

CONNIE MACK PRAISES COBB
Leader of Athletics Resents Intimation That Tiger Outfielder Is
 Lucky Player.

A couple of the Athletic players were talking the other day and one of them said: Cobb got two lucky hits here" Not exactly" said Connie Mack. Cobb makes his luck. If he hits the ball and it rolls to an infielder, Cobb goes to first base like a deer. He hur- ries the infielder and if he boots the ball, makes a wide throw, or the first baseman drops the sphere, Cobb gets a hit, for he will be so close to the bag that everyone. will say, Cobb had it beaten.' Cobb fights for everything he gets, you have to hand it to him, 1 don't know where there is one like him."

PUT OH HAY SHIPMENTS

This is, probably, the last year
hay and straw can be shipped out
of tick-infested Counties. Last
week Messrs. Knox Cooper and o.
H. Hartman had an experience in
this line.
Seeing an ad from a neighboring
city they made up carload OF
straw for bedding, which was de-
clined because LINCOLN COUNTY
VOTED AGAINST TICK ERADI-
CATION.
The work of eradicating the tick
has been seriously hampered in the
State. In some counties the voters
have declared against eradication
and in some others opposition has
obstructed the carrying out of the
law.
DR.. ]. A. Barger, of the Bereau
of Animal Industry, has been
transferred to Mississippi with
headquarters at Jackson and our
people of Lincoln and others may
prepare themselves to catch the
step of progress in one of the most
important movements of the times.
If the cattle are dipped every
fourteen days, one season of dip
ping should clear county of all
ticks, says the department.

KEEP TO RIGHT" SIGN DEMOLISHED.
In Binding Rain Car Smashes It
Same Car Has Been in Other
Accidents.

An incident, or accident, small
in itself, but strong in condolences,
occurred in Brookhaven Friday
night at p. m. at the postoffice
corner, when Bert Muncy, driving
public car owned by Oscar
Smith, ran into the Keep to the
Right" sign planted in the center
| of the intersection of the four
streets at that place.
1t so happened that Mayor Chas.
F. Heuck was witness to the col
lision the sign being one of his
well planned schemes to keep peo-
pie out of trouble as well as seri-
Gus or fatal injury. So insistent
was he to see who the party was
who destroyed the sign post when
it happened that he ran after the
machine half a block after the col
lision occurred to find out who had
done the damage.
Muncy, who was running the
car for Smith, and who is usually
careful driver, came down the
street, going east at variously es-
timated speeds, afterward stating
he was so blinded by the lights
and rain, falling in sheets, that ne
did not see the sign. Nevertheless
| he hit it full amidships and no
damage was done to the car except
| ing one glass of the windshield,
the lower one, which was smashed.
| Mr.. Muncy shortly returned after
the clash and told the Mayor he
was responsible for it. The sign
post in the sudden contact, passed
over the top of the motor vehicle
without touching it.
Next day most of the public car
drivers were pointing to the car as
"a Jonah or hoodoo on account of
the accidents it had been in, citing
as argument smash-up on
the Wesson road with the Will
lliams car of Wesson, Leon Nc

THE DAWN OF PLENTY. IRE,
MARKABLE SUCCESS HERE

The Dawn of Plenty" illustra-
tive lecture on agriculture which
was presented on Friday and Sat-
urday under the auspices of the
Brookhaven Board of Trade at the
City Hall was an attraction long to
be remembered by the citizens of
our county and city.
Our Board of Trade deserves
much praise for their enterprise in
offering this instructive lecture
showing no motive other than that
of encouraging a better community
spirit among our town and country
people. That the agricultural
class especially appreciated the
Eefforts of those who are responsible
flor the securing of the lecture for
this City is attested by the fact
that many witnessed the perform
ance for a second time. And many
came up to shake the hands of the
pleasing and genial lecturer, Mr..
IC. B. Funk, who clearly expressed
thoughts commensurate with the
beauty and importance of each
passing scene; who untiringly and
unselfshly put forth his greatest
effort to inspire and encourage the
people to actually ACCOMPLISH
and DO some of the things about
which he was talking.
We feel sure that no one left the
Hall after his lecture without hav.
ling been inspired to further pur-
suit in his line of endeavor, with a
feeling of just pride in the aggres-
siveness of our great inventors in
making of our Nation the greatest
agricultural nation on earth.
| A spirit of local pride helped tc
make the occasion of interest to
the community, especially since
two of our foremost citizens
lMessrs. Edgar Green and Lewis
Wood, enlisted in the uplift of oul
people agriculturally and educa
tionally, deserve credit for theil
part in arousing the people to the
importance of attendance. There
was not standing room at the City
Hall on Saturday.
