bruises about the head when the auto
in which they were riding was struck
BY street car in Sioux City last
Thursday. Harry Dunbar. who was
driving the car, was not hurt. The
collision occurred at the intersection
Of the Correctionvillc road and South
Fairmont street. The street car struck
the auto from behind and threw ii
some distance completely wrecking it.
The street car was also put out of
commission temporarily. The victims
were removed in an ambulance to the

recovering from their injuries, which
all are glad were no worse.
Charter Oak.
The home of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
Messenbrink. of Charter Oak, was
burned to the ground Sunday about
noon by Il fire that started from un-
known sources. A boy was passing
by and noticed smoke coming from
the house and gave the alarm. The
fire department vas called and 1t
looked as if they would quickly have
water on it and save at least the house
if not the contents. For some reason
Some say that it was because connec-
tons of different sizes are used and
these did not match. When finally
water was secured the fire had gained
such Roadway that the tiremen's eff
forts were feeble compared with the
strength of the fire and the house
burned to the ground.

TYRUS COBB DUE LAURELS AS
MOST TEMPERMENTAL PLAYER

NEW YORK. May l3-Tyrus Ray

stars who have become famous for
their shows OF temper on the field of
play
Cobb's recent fsticuT engagement at
Dallas. Texas. with Buck Herzog was
nothing short of disgraccful. and Cobb
deserved severe punishment from Ban
ohnson for his actions.
Had IL been case where both Cobb
and Herzog were to blame for the
trouble. the thing would look differ
ent. But Cobb openly admitted that
he spiked llcrzoE purposely. and such
n thing Is bad for the game
Cobb gets by with a lot OF arrogant
stuff. because he is pretty capable of
taking care OF himself in a personal
encounter with any player in the big
leagues to-day. lie can fight. and he
has = temper which makes him see
red any time things don't go to suit
his prima donna tastes.
The rumpuS in Dallas may be an evil
dence of q change of brotherly feeling
among the ball players that WAS pre-
iictcd when the props were knocked
from under the Players Fraternity last
winter.
At the time baseball men high up in
the game predicted that more rivalry
would be noticed on the field OF play
with the frat out of commission, and
the series between the Giants and
Tigers At least. demonstrated that two
big league players have returned to
the "Fightin' ways" OF the old-tmers.
The baseball fan doesn't demand
rowdyisn, however.
He is satisfied TO see n wcll-played
game of ball in which the players
exert every legal energy 10 win. but
that let's him out.
good exhibition of fsticufs is a
nifty thing to watch if II is pulled Oft
in a sixtccn-foOt ring. where nstcuffs

II il became common. would soon stir
up feeling against the game that would
do II IL world OF harm.
Just because player is tcmpera-
mental is no sign he should be allowed
TO get away with il all the time.
And Tyrus Raymond cobb has no
reason to expect that the baseball pub
lie will excuse the player who admits
that he tries TO slash an opposing
player with his spikes.
