Macon beacon. [volume] (Macon, Miss.) 1859-1995, 1916-10-20

Go out into the woods in the fair Oc-
tober DAYS; over a million Pickering
leaves the innocent fires of autumn
pour their flaming glories. Every i'm
perial tint appears, of scarlet and
crimson, orange and yellow, The oak
leaves run up through their long
gamut Of browns. Little MOSES
cluster round the roots of the trees; a
soft bed of tender green and gray
Iichens variegates their trunks. Who
has bathed the world with this ineffa-
BILE, indescribable beauty? Shall we
think they come by accident, or by
some cold, blind law?-James. Freeman
Clarke.

A fool may be known by six things:
Anger, without cause; speech, without
profit; change, without progress; in
quiry, without object; putting trust in
a stranger, and mistaking foes for
friends. Arabian Proverb.

Some men are tricky and u%ntruthful.
They suggest what. is false as if it
we're the truth, They tell part of a
truth and suppress the other part, 80
that what they say deceives persons
who hear them ever more readily than

HIeH-PRlcED PLAYERS FROM MINORS.

1t Is reasonable to suggest that
good fortune has had lots to do in
these affairs. If 1t were possible for
manager to make sure of players
class in making a deal there would be
fewer deals. But though more than
once the big price has been a mis-
take there are plenty of cases when
it was not
Charley Comiskey, the White Sox
owner, has been stung more than
once, but then again he has picked
up talent that was worth all it cost.
Ray Schalk is said to have brought
something close to $4,000, and the
Sox- will never regret cent of 1t.
Hap Felsch is another high-priced
beauty who cost just about as much
as Schalk, and Comiskey is more than
pleased with the deal.
Chief Meyers and Hal Chase were
considered high-priced youngsters
when they first came up to the majors
and they both performed with all the
class their bush-league work had
promised. Both the chief and Hal
were considered most costly in q day
when the prices for players were more
moderate. Fritz Maisel cost the
Yanks $4,000 and the release of Dan.
iels and Midkiff when he Joined them
from Baltimore.

When minor league star is pur-
chased by big league club and the
size of his price is mentioned in the
papers the fans who read about 1T
are pleased to express some amuse-
ment. There has been more than one
$1,OOO,0O0 beauty dished up from the
bushes only to strut his little hour
upon the major league stage and
then be heard of no more. And the
fan has begun to feel that the higher
they are priced the harder they fall.
Marty O'Toole is probably the most
iliustrious Of the $1,OOO,OOO lemons,
and Marty deserves every bit of his
high repute. When the Pirates came
clean with $22,5OO to the st. Paul club
for OToole they seemed persuaded
that he would be worth it. Most any
one admits today that he was not.
There have, Of course, been others
In O'ToOle's class, but scarcely so
many on the whole as to warrant the
idea that every costly busher is sure
to funk. On the contrary, there are
many who have been worth every
cent Of the thousands they have cost,
and there have also been others you
may have heard of-Speaker and Cobb,
f'rinstance, and Matty and Walter
Johnson-who were had for few hun
dred dollars.
