WHAT "a EXPECT
ON A RAINY DAY?
Ball Players lust Naturally
Won't Wade on Damp Ball
GroundS-Get Days Rest.
BY Ed J. Murray.

There Is no news in that IL rained
yesterday because everybody but
felix's who works nights knows 1t and
even folks who works nights might
have heard the rain drops fall or II
they didn't they could tell that IT
had rained when they got up be-
cause there is no water wagon built
big enough 20 do so much damage.
Then there is no news 10 the fact
that the MuskegOn-SOuth Bend base
ball game set for yesterday was call
co of for even folks who work
nights know that they can't play
baseball when it rains or when il has
rained and the rain is still where
i was when II got through raining.
OF course they could have played
ball no matter how much water was
on grounds If they could have got
another grounds that wasn't damp.
TUT the people would not know they
had a diamonds where il wasn't wet
So there would be no use of playing
because the main thing aSCut a
game is -he fans and no league can
run unless it has fans not even the
famous one that starts with an Z.
No Ball Game Yesterday.
So considering everything there
was no ball game here yesterday.
That is there was no league ball
game. but we bet there was a ball
game for you can't keep kies from
playing ball games If they have to
pay ball games on the kitchen floor.
hut kids are not bothered by fans
or lack OF fans and they would play
III there was nobody around 10 cheer
or knock Kids are built that way,
they can't help it.
But after a man grows up and
has had a couple of shaves he wont
play ball games unless there are
sorne people out 20 watch him play
bali games. Even the owner of a
ball club is tOUchy on that point and
he can't see no fun in having his
ball club play when there are no
fans around TO cheer and knock.
There was no fans around the
park yesterday afternoon TO cheer
and knock and there was plenty OF
water out at SpringbroOk park 50
there was no game. Ii started rain
ing yesterday morning and put in
almost a union day. II was a reg
uiar rain and dampened everything
even the spirits Of some of our well
known fans so none OF the well
known or only half well known fans
went out TO the ball grounds SO there
was no need of playing the ball
game even If there had been no
water on the ball grounds and the
ball players could have played a ball
game If they had OF wanted 20 play

Comment on Democratic Caucus

Comment on Democratic Caucus
This comment was made by Repre-
sentative Charles B. Timberlake, Of
Colorado on the recent action Of the
Democratic caucus pledging support to
the bill for retaining the present duty
on sugar:
'In the first place, this proposal to
maintain the present sugar tax is an
admission by the Democrats of the
financial failure of their administra-
ton" said Mr.. Timberlake. Con
fronted by an ever-increasing deficit
in the treasury, and at their wits
ends how to meet it, they are forced
to recognize a Republican principle to
prevent further annual loss of about
$4O,0OO,000 in revenue.

Labors Best Investment
Joseph Proebstle of the Brewery Workers. Writes an
Interesting Letter To the Atlanta Journal of Labor

Whenever you find workingman
who refuses to join the organization of
his trade, with the query, why should
| pay nv money into your labor un-
ions?" yoL can take it for granted that
he is one creature who wants to get the
benefit of all that which has been ac-
complished by organized labor without
any personal effort or sacrifices, or else
he has not sense enough to come in out
of the rain.
The American trade unionsts know
that their labor organizations have
brought them hundredfold yes thousand
fold, in return for their investments, and
if we analyze the proposition we find
that the returns grow in proportion to
our investments. AS an illustration
take the brewery workers organization.
In 1886, when the brewery workers
Cor rather the journeymen brewers) or
ganized, they were probably the most ex-
plotted and mistreated workers of Amer
