Hickey Has Reason.

After the game I bumped into Branch
Hickey under the grandstand. Hickey

started I felt sure it was home run.
The fielder evidently didn't, for he

was off at the crack of the bat He
judged it pretty well. or else he would
not have been able to make that one
handed catch which most of us con-
slider an unlucky stab.

Hickey. bad base ball and not luck
the first batter up in that inning was
thrown out at first because he loafed
in running. When he tapped the ball
to the pitcher he looked like the east

up his mind he would be retired. be-

he logged along disgustedly. He did
not know the pitcher would let the
ball roll through and then throw badly

would have reached first in safety. In

And at the time the one-handed catch

Umpire Sometimes Cause.
Hickey thinks luck and the umpire
are blamed for more defeats than any
two other factors. While Hickey. as
manager. seldom got into trouble with
the umpires. he even insisted his
players refrain from getting into dis
putes with the umpires. still. I know
Hickey has credited certain defeats
to the umpiring. He says every now
and then the umpire. being merely hu-
man. will slip up on some decision that
finally decides the game. On the sea-
son he figures the breaks in this par
ticular thing evens up, so nothing is
lost or gained. On the other hand. he
refuses to try to put up any argument
for the vagaries of Dame Fortune.
The rather extraordinary Mr.. Hickey
insists there is no such a thing as
luck and insists that when coaching
foot Dali eleven OF managing d DdSe
ball team he constantly tried to impress
that on his athletes. The human mind,
according to Hickey, always tries to
find the cause for the effect and seldom
goes deep enough into the trouble.
Failing Immediately to find a satisfac-
tory reason, the human mind calls it
luck. Here is the illustration Hickey
offered to show no such thing as luck
exists.
Several years ago in a rather i'm
portant game, at least a game which
we desired greatly to win, one of my
outfelders hit a drive to extreme left
field" he said.
1T was a terrific hit, and the moment
the ball started l figured it was good
for a home run. Aside from the fact
that it was a mighty wallop. the batter
who hit it was a fast runner. which made

the American stage such successful
plays as Get the Rich Quick Walling-

THE Garden of Allah" Heavy and
Tragic Drama at the Odeon.

Filled with the mystery and silence
of the desert with religion playing a
prominent part. The Garden OF Allah
was shown on a large scale at the
Gdeon Sunday night. The play Is far
from being light or frivolous. being
the tragic story of man who. was
forced to leave the woman he loved
because of the fires of conscience tor
turing him FOR a great wrong he had
I committed before he met her
| Heavy acting on the part OF the prin-
cipals was very we'll done and the
scenic effects were imposing and beau
tiful This was especially true OF the
opening panorama, the spirit OF the
desert" where camels. horses, goats
and donkeys are used. and soft light
! ing effects blend artistically. The sand
storm. the dancing scene, and the
garden were all unusual scenic per-
formances.
Tragic and soul stirring is the story
Of The Garden Of Allah" a glimpse
is given the audience of a mans soul
in agony, and the torture OF con-
science Is shown with telling effect.

NO VIOLATION OF THE LAW.

In his charge to the grand jury at
Fort Smith last Monday Circuit Judge
Paul Little held that it is no violation
of the bone dry law to bring liquor into
the state for personal use, and said
that the circumstances surrounding
the introduction of liquor would go a
long way in determining whether the
liquor was for personal use or not;
that the presumption would be strong
that a person arriving from place
where liquor was lawfully sold, with a
reasonable amount Of liquor in his
suit case, in the absence Of a reputa-
ton of being a bootlegger; while a
person bringing in a suit case con-
tanning nothing but liquor in half
pint bottles, or having trunkful in
small bottles, had an equally strong
presumption against his having the
liquor for his own use.
Judge Little is the second circuit
Judge in Arkansas to take this view of
the law. He called attention to the
fact that a bill had been introduced
in the legislature since the passage of
the bone dry bill to make it a viola
tion for a person to introduce liquor
for his own use is evidence that the
legislators were of the opinion that
they had not prohibited that in the
original bill.
