ANENT HALL.

Until the June rosebuds open to
welcome the Savages upon their next
return home, Hurbert 'Highpockets'
Hall, the pitcher who defeated the
Wichita Wolves to Sunday, is like
" to be the most widely discussed of
Manager Lattimore's squad. Although
he has won all of his games, despite
the fact that he is one of the leading
twirlerS of the league, according to
the averages, and in face of his five
hit victory Sunday. Halls ability is a
subject of pro and con arguments
wherever local baseball fans congre-
gate to shoot the hot air Because
Hall is one of the few ball players who
doesn't make a bid for popular back
patting. and because he uses his head
as we'll as his stuff in a game, there
are some who cannot see him But
if he continue in his present stride
the pitcher who wins more games
than he does will have to get up and
go at a great clip.

Should Brennan be employed, it is
more than likely that she would take
the job now held by Ollie Anderson.
1t has been intimated that Anderson
is in disfavor as a result of a protest
sent in from St. Joe when the Wolves
were playing the Drummers last week.
1t seems that with the bases full the
fourth ball was called on the batter
as the man on third made a dash for
home. The Drummer going home was
tagged by the Wichita catcher and
Anderson called him out, claiming that
he was trying to steal home. Holland
held that the base runner was forced
home when the fourth ball was called
on the batter with the bases full, and,
on the face of it, it appears that he
has grounds for his contention.

Sport Wheezes
by CIUG-

The Chicago Tribune prints the big
league batting averages in it's dramatic
section And to some, they are very
dramatic.
The assertion that Jess Willard will
weigh 800 pounds by fall is discour
aging. 1t shows that the champion
IS not combining his efforts to fatten-
ing the purse exclusively.
Billy Edwards, Kansas City
wrestler, challenged Tommy Doctor
Saturday night after Doctor had won
from Hoffman. Doctor said he would
meet him, despite the fact that Ed
wards outweighs him quite a bit and
is really light heavywe. ght.
If the Lincoln Ducklings decide to
use Pitcher East the same day the
Savages use West, sectional supremacy
of the mound will then be easily de-
termined.
Undoubtedly, this is a bad year for
the old big average hitters. Cobb and
kauff, the premier pill busters of the
big leagues are way down the list and
in the Western league, Forsythe and
LeJeune, the leaders of past seasons,
show Forsythe forty-ninth from the
top with an average of .26e, and Lee
Jeune is still farther down.
VI COuESe, IL Is possible Indl ne1Iner
Cy nor Larry is in his stride, but it
is just as possible that both are los
ing their grip and are giving way to
the men with better eyes.
Al the present writing, Hinchman
of Lincoln and Connolly of Sioux City
appear to be the only players who are
liable to push Vincent Tydeman down
from the top. Both have been in
twice as many games as Tydie, and
| both are close enough on his heels to
| look dangerous.

Besides the seven reform bills passed
by the last legislature that are upon thin
ballot for referendum vote, there will
be number of others initiated
While in Oregon the State Grange has
parted company with the Labor unions
in this state the compact between the
I.abori,es and farmers union continues.
The tripartite combination has filled
four initiative petitions for bills called the
four brothers, as against the seven sisters
that were all defeated but one two years
ago
One of the initiative bills is aimed at
the fishing industry, proposing addition
al burdens of taxation and regulation up
on investments representing millions and
employing labor by the thousands.
Another proposed measure that is in
the initiative incubator is the proposed
Ion partisan bill, doing away with party
nominations in state and county elections,
the same measure that was defeated IL,

1t will be initiative measure No. 10 and

tive bills being Matched this state will

RAIL FROM NEW YORK TO

As a result Of the trip Of Secretary Nc

tries, made with view of still further
promoting tie rapidly growing trade be-
tween us and those countries, the sngges-
tion has been made that railroad be con-
,ucted ''lrom New York to Buenos
Iyies" Argentina, South America. This
! ad will le 10000 miles long, and OF this
q rtance only >, 700 miles will need to be
built, as the existing lines already cover

o. railroad will only be abont $3.50, O0O,-

viii be the most wonderful undertaking
ever recorded in the commercial world.

great double track railroad whereby goods
can be shipped by quick route from one

l think no one will dispute the state
ment that the prosperity and efficiency
of the horse population of any country
is a direct function Of the prosperity and
efficiency OF the thoroughbred. Where
the thoroughbred does not flourish the
saddle horse and the light draft horse
quickly disappear, and with them goes a
most important factor in the prosperity
of the State from commercial as we'll as
Il military point OF view. Ii any doubt
exists as to this, the costly efforts made
by Germany, Austria and France to en-
courage the breeding Of the thorough
bred should be proof enough that he is
not luxury, but u necessity.

fcient numbers and OF proper type for the

horses should then be the object OF both

struggle in Europe in seven or eight
months, nearly half of which have been
killed, it gives us some idea OF the tre-
mendous part the war horse has played
in this awful drama. All of the great
generals of the past have owned,
ridden and loved chargers. Washington,
Grant, Lee, Sherman, Stonewall Jackson,
Napoleon and Wellington each rode ia
nous horse. The latter rode his lannon's
charger Copenhagen at Waterloo fifteen
hours without dismounting, and after the
death of Wellington his family had cree
ted two monuments, Que to the great
general and one to his horse. The horse
was buried with military honors and on
his tombstone was inscribed: Here lies
Copenhagen, the charger ridden by the
Duke OF Wellington the entire day Of the
battle of Waterloo. Born 1903; died
1885,
Goods humber instrument OF meaner
clay
Should share the glory OF that glorious
day"
General Lees and General Jackson's
horses were both mounted and placed in
glass cases in the Soldiers home at Rich
mond. So great was the attachment OF
General Grant to his charger Cincinnatus
Ca horse at one time ridden by President
Lincoln) that he refused $4,000 for him.
In every great battle Of the worlds
history the horse has figured conspicu-
ously. 1t is matter of history that in
the late conflict between the North and
South the North did not win a cavalry
battle for the first three years. The rea-
son for this is simple-the southener had
the thoroughbred in large numbers and
had used him for saddle purposes, while
his northern brother did not have the
thoroughbred, but coarser bred horse,
which he had used almost exclusively as
a saddle animal.
