Local Officer is Mistaken
For the County Constable

Probably all OF the fair goers. espe-
ciaIly the people who have been In al:
tendance at the grandstand for the races
are familiar with Hiram" and "Lu-
cindy" by this time. This clever couple
have been furnishing some really
wholesome and enjoyable amusement to
the patrons of the grand stand between
the races. Many an innocent stranger
has been fooled by the excellent make.
up Of both the man and his wife, ana
has actually made an effort to help
Lucindy find Hiram. or vice versa
But yesterday was tho biggest joke
Of all. and 1t was not = stranger that
was the goat. 1t was our own Officer
Custer, who was unfortunately on duty
In the grandstand. and the efforts or
the supposed very rural couple caused
roar Of gtee all over the grandstand.
Hiram had left his spouse and mad gone
down to the box where the prina donna.
Miss Woodward, was rendering a popu-
lar sentimental selection. the sentiment
of which Hiram pretended to mistake
to be for him. He gestured in return to
the gestures made by the singer. and
Lucindy. OF course. started weeping. She
could stand it no longer. and hastily
made her way to officer Custer, plead.
ing with him to compel Hiram to quit
carrying on so dtsErnceful, and &C.
fectionately putting her tear-wet eyes
on his manly shoulder. begged him to
use his authority RS county constable to
arrest Hiram.
Custer declared that anyone could
have bought him for fifteen cents after
the incident and that 1t was the most
embarrassing thing that has happened
to him since he has been In the depart
ment. He states that he hopes the chief
will let him be Il plain clothes man tho
next fair, so thut. he will not be mis-.
taken for the country constable 49,.

MUCH IS WASTED,
 JENNINGS CLAIM
Detroit Leader Says $5O,OOo Is
 FoolBhly Spent

Dallas, Texas. April 2,-Aanager Jennings, of the Detroit Americans, declared that major league clubs waste $50.000 a year. He claims that magnates spend g. share of this money knowing that will be wasted. Fear of being called cheap slkates'' by the baseball populace is the reason for the wastage. Jennings says.
 Jennings, student of the old school, believes the major league player limit easily could be reduced to twenty men and that teams could get along with a squad of eighteen players.
 'The ball team that wins pennants is the team that has the fewest num- Der of men," he declares.
 Jennings points out the remarkable success of the old Baltimore Orioles, of which he was member. which won pennants with squad that never totaled more than eighteen athletes.
 Very often. the Detroit manager de- clares, a baseball manager will recommend to the club owner that several recruits be released immedi- ately after they have been looked over at the training camp.
 Magnates hesitate to release them. 1SdTlHS lHey Hay lOSe d u1d1uOuu HI the rough and be criticized by fan dom. As result, Jennings says, many hopeless ball tossers continue to eat major league meals or find fine berths with class A clubs, at the expense of the major organization.
 Training expenses and the cost of travelling, uniforms, equipment, hotel bills and many minor incidentals would. be greatly reduced JenuinaB says, if big league ball clubs had the nerve to employ squad of twenty men.
