Fournier Was Just Pooling

Jack Fournier, first basing for the White Sox, has one story that he always tells with glee whenever the chance comes. Any time he starts in on 1t fellow members of the White Sox give the warning ."Capron story" and duck. But the tale is interesting at that and should be published. Here 1t is:
 Fournier was playing with Port land m the Northwestern League and George Capron was with Seattle. A Seattle runner was on first when Capron came to bat. He rapped a hot grounder down to Cooney, who was on short for Portland. The latter whipped the ball to second, forcing the runner. and then the ball was relayed to Fournier.
 Capron had crossed the bag and was making his turn back by the time the throw reached Fournier.
 Jack tossed the ball up and down in his glove as Capron came up. "Can you beat that, Capron2" said Fournier. "the umpire called you out
 "Wen, I'll be dinged," snarled Capron, and he started to run to- ward second to argue with the off cial. Fournier was right at his heels and didn't catch him until they had covered half tho distance. He tagged the amazed Capron with the ball snf
 "outw shouted the umpire, throwing back his right hand.
 Was he mad at me? Well, rather" says Fournier.

Meyers May Go to Another Club.
 John Tortoise Meyers, backstop for Brooklyn is not in very strong with the club-owners and other players, and 1t is more than prob able that he will be wearing the reealla of some other club next year.
 The whole trouble is said to be due to Meyers stingy manner. The matter came to a head when Mey- CTS objected to giving a little or the series money to. the attaches of the club who always arc hand ed something in recognition of their courtesies during the year headed a clique of tightwads, whose other two members were Merkle and Mar ouard. What soured the other players who wishes for a donation was that these three players had shared in worlds series money on three previous occasions, while Jack Coombs. who had shared with the Athletics was about the most gem erously inclined. Ebbetts and his associates have little love for Mey- CTS. owing to his cupidity. Though he caught the first game at Boston he spent most of his time sizing up the stands, instead of figuring on the progress of the contest. He tried to start a revolt of both teams because the stands were not filled. At Brooklyn, on the first day, Pres ident Ebbetts was forced to take Meyers into the offices and to show him the charts and ticket racks to prove that he was not being cheat ed.

 Most of the manuscripts were highly laudatory. but one writer thought it was wrong to produce the play in such a place. Another criticism was written in good Ger man. The briefest was a "knockT as follows: %

Cx.Sheriff West.

The Sentinel always believes in
awarding honor to whom honor is due.
The duties of the sheriff Office are Of
ten very trying and a strict adherence
to the law often brings upon the head
of that official severe and harsh criti-
cism. Sheriff West, who retired this
week, did not altogether escape this
criticism, yet The Sentinel feels that
Mr.. West met every duty that d evolved
upon him conscientiously and in accord
ance with his understanding of his oath
of Office. He made a good officer and
the salutary effect of his official career
will be felt in the county for many
wears.

Reception For Mr.. McRee and Bride.

| On Wednesday of last week the low
ely home Of the McRee's on College
avenue was the scene of a de-
hghtful and very unique reception ten
dered the fair bride of the elder son of
the home, Fulton McRee, by the
mother. who could not do enough to
show her happiness in having this
beautiful daughter of another state
who has come to make her home with
her.
The name of the bride being Mary,
and coming at the Christmas season,
suggested to the mother to have all
young girl friends of the same name
to assist her IN receiving the many
friends who were glad to rejoice with
her in the accession to our town of SO
fair a daughter. Accordingly, with
the assistance of loving hands, her hos
pitable home was made most alluring
with Christmas decorations of holly,
ivy and southern smilax, the dining
room being bright with red bells, feath-
ering ferns and cut flowers, where
Misses Caldwell and Cubbin, assisted
by Miss Van Osdell, dispensed a de-
ticious salad course in their most
charming style. Miss Mary Gibbs
served punch (the nectar of the gods)
in a nook Of the hall especially fitted
for the setting of so gracious a Hebe.
Missses Mary Crowder and Mary Aven
Received at the front door and in the
cloak room. The climax was reached
when Miss Frances Jones conducted
the guests to the parlor where the
color motif of pink, white and green
vas carried out in a most effective
manner, the air being redolent of the
delicate odor from an abundance of
pink and white carnations in tall cut
glass vases, ittingly placed to form a
graceful background for the line of
beautiful Marys, all gowned in pink and
white alternately, following the shade
preferred by the bride in her soft, pink
loneliness. A bevy of more beautiful
girls rarely get together. Among those
who assisted the hostess in the receiv-
ing line were Misses Mary Lee IF Nc
Comb City, Mary Wright of Winona,
Mary Moody, Mary Roane, and Mary
McElwrath. Miss Mary Thomas enter
tanned throughout the hours in her own
gifted way at the piano, Miss Countiss
gave several delightful numbers in vocal
music. Miss Lee gave several charming
readings at the close to the very great
enjoyment of the house, after which Mrs.
S. A. Morrison, who had been leading
the way to the dining room, conducted
the whole receiving party back, and all
went merry as a marriage bell. Thus
ending a most happy afternoon. x
