A lust Decision

New Orleans Item: Since any
body can bring a libel action
against a newspaper on fimsiest
triyaility. and each action must be
defended, what we have just said
means, in simple, ugly terms, that
the small newspapers of Louisiana
could not afford to tell the truth
freely. frankly and decently about
our public concerns when any COM
mercial or political swashbuckler
cared to invoke the law on them
as it was understood until yester-
day. There is the real vice in the
conception Judge O'Neall and his
colleagues have overthrow. The
General Assembly has twice been
given the opportunity to accomplish
the same result by d~eclarat0ry leg
islation, and has twice refused to
do it. This is an evidence on the
part OF small bore statesmen OF
the very spitefulness which poll
ticians in general are so tradition
ally fond OF imputing TO news
papers. The supreme court has
met the need more effectively than
the legislature could.

Preferred Writing Sporting News to
Playing Baseball Until He Made
Hit on Coast-Now Glad He
Made the Change.

Almost every red-blooded American
kid would jump at the chance to join
Detroit's wrecking crew and rub ell
bows with Tyrus Raymond Cobb, yet
one of the present members OF the
Bengal smuggling combine had other
ambitions until four years ago, writes
Harold Johnson in Chicago Evening
Post.
Harry Heilman preferred the COM

and, what's more, he had paper or
his own until one day after sand-lot
game in which he participated he
spied his name in the headlines de-
scribing a ball game. Then he weak

Harry was a member of the United
Amateur Press association around San
Francisco, made up of amateur editors
whose papers are official organs OF
some sort of organization. He could
see nothing greater in all the world
than his name on the sporting page as
an author of an article.

| the opening of the season Leslie Mann
| was favored, but Schultz soon showed
Tinker his mistake, and now is play
| ing better than he has done for years.
Cub fans were not slow in observ-
| ing that he had not gone back any
and that he really was playing better
ball for Tinker than he did for Chance,
Evers, O'Day or Bresnahan. Remarks
have been frequent this spring con-
corning his hustling, the form he
showed at the plate and the manner
in which he covered the outfield scien-
tifically with Cy Williams. The fans
have cheered and encouraged him to
drive out the long hits that made him
popular on the West side for more
than ten years. He has responded
nobly.
Schultz is surprising all his former
early averages and if he continues his
present gait he will finish the season
with the highest average he has ever
made in the National league. Last
year his batting figures for the first
26 games were only .22S, the year be-
fore 1863, and in 1913, .219. This and
his present mark of 1857 are conclu-
sive proof that although more than
80 wears old he is still good enough
to be a regular and deserves to be On
the Cub team.
Cub fans are predicting that Schultz
will have an excellent year in home
run-making this season. They believe
the right-feld wall at the Cub park
will be of assistance to him. Also they
contend that he is pulling the ball as
strongly as he did in 1911, when he
led the National league with Fl home
run swats to his credit. They are
hoping that he surpasses that and the
worlds record of rs, held by Buck
Freeman of Washington.
