Court OF Oyer and Terminer today to
one Of guilty Of assault
10 was alleged that the two men beat
the Negro with a club and threw him

tween Chief Justice Pennewiu, Judges
Conrad and Heisel, Deputy Attorney

James Salisbury the latter counsel for
the two men.
Several witnesses testified TO the

among them being Or. James A..
Draper and Father McKenna, Of ST.

men good characters for peace and
order. DR.. Draper. Hayes family physi-

Combination of McGrau and Stallings on
One Club That What Chicago Cubs Haze
by PAUL PURMAN

George Stallngs plus John McGraW
ID pretty good c0mbinatiOn--What
"Tcs,' says the fan, "where do you
get that stuff; George Stallings plus
John McGraw is impossible. on a
modern ball club
Very we'll! But here are not JaWn
himself and not the Miracle Man him
self, but Fred Mitchell, representing
,Stallings, and Fred Me:kle, represent
ing McGraw, on one ball club.
Rot says the cautious fan ''What
| has Merkle to do with running the
ball club?'
1t is commonly supposed the man.
ager is the autocrat of a ball club.
TO be sure his word goes, but wise
manager takes into consideration ev-
crything every member of his club
has to tell him.
When Vic Safer broke his leg the
talent had it that the Chicago Cubs
were done for the season.
1t was figured that without the
clouting assistance of the hard-hitting
fire 'baseman Weeghman's team would
nit the Skids.
When Merkle was secured the
dopester had little to offer. They
knew Merkle was a hard hitter, a I
fair first baseman and pretty smart
ball player, but what they did not
know has been shown in the Cubs
recent performance.
For several years before he went
to Brooklyn Merkle had alternated |
between the bench, first base and the
Outfield for John McGraw. He knows
about all McGraw can teach a ball
player.
Fred Mitchell has been sciooled in !
Stallings' baseball academy He was
Stallings' righthand man.
The expert or the fan who jeered
when the unknown Mitchell was
signed as manager of the Cubs, may
now look at himself askanse, for, in
fact, Mitchell had almost as much to
do with the remarkable 1914 Boston
Braves as Stallings himself.
