To 1he Editor Of The State:
The writer has taken so much IN
teresr In the work that is now oeins
done in Columbia for the better treas-
nent of our domestic animals that
he feels in1pelled to say something
along the same tine, trusting tnat II
may be of some help in the cause and
not entirely lacking in interest y
your readers.
Some years ago the writer while
working on the trees Of Columbia was
Instrumental in having several peo-
pie fined for the cruel treatment OF
horses and mules and Wei always re-
member it with pleasure, for ne IS
free TO confess that acts Of thls Kina
rouse a good deal of the savage, which

ON the man who mistreats an AMI
NAL that is dumb asd can not defend
itself. In nearly every case these
5rutes in human form are towards at
heart and take good care never to
ATTEMPT any cruel treatment on some
man who is both willing and able to
take care of himself. To the writer
il has always seemed that one OF the
most reprehensible and inexcusable
acts of cruelty to poor dumb brute
for the reason that the suffering IS so
prolonged, is the almost universal
habit that prevails that when horse
begins to fail from age to sell him
for a mere song or give him away to
spend his declining years in the
peace and comfort which he has fair
ly earned by long and faithful ser
vice but starved and beaten until at
last death in mercy comes to end his
agony. This Is often done by those

the worn out horse as long as he
lives. They would bitterly resent the
charge that they had been guilty OK
ANYTHING that was inhuman or IN
kind. but they stand convicted by
their own acts. In addition to the
above they have violated the teach
ings of Christianity for no cruel man

he considered a true follower OF one
who while on earth preached a sos-
pel of love and kindness.
For over 25 years the writer has
contributed a good many articles to
the press and they have brought him
very little recognition but he has al
ways taken special pleasure in the
remembrance that he was instrument
atl through the columns Of The State
in directing public attention to the
cruelty of pigeon shooting matches
and of having his article seconded by
the then most distinguished citizen
of South Carolina, the late DR.. James
H. Carlisle. The cruelty to our ami
NAL friends extends not only to horses
but to other domestic animals as well,
the cow, OK, dog and cat, leaving the
latter to starve when the family are

CBY JACK vEIOCK, International News
Sports Editor.)
The Boston Braves have somewhat
Of reputation as fightin' ball club.
The Braves are fighters on the field
of play, and in this years campaign
they may be counted upon to make n
hot fight for the rag.
But whatever may be said of those
Braves, one thing stands out as an un-
usual feature:
They have more temperament and
nervous energy anchored around Sec
ond base than any club In the two big
leagues.
With the veteran Johnny Evers on
second and that little pepper box,
Walter Maranville, at short, 1t can be
truthfully said that there is more en-
ergy and fighting spirit to the square
inch represented by these joint guard
inns of the keystone cushion than any
other club can boast of.
Evers Is entering upon his sixteenth
year In baseball, and he hopes to make
1917 one of the best seasons of his
long career. Nervous temperament on
the field of play Is Il characteristic of
Evers, and no doubt his high-strung
nerves have helped to keep him In the
game this long, although last season n
breakdown threatened to put an end
to his career. ID

ability, and like Evers he will fight for
Il point Mt the drop of a hat on the field
of play.
If Evers has good season his pres
ence In the Braves lineup day in and
day out will mean much to Boston. II
will also mean much to Maranville. for
with Evers on second the little Rabbit
Is said to play snappier brand of ball
because they work together with ma
chine-like preciseness.
During the winter Evers attended
the National league meeting, and at
that time he looked to be in good
health. He said he had high hopes of
n banner year, and II he succeeds In
keeping his health all season he may
make this his last year In the majors.
G. Evers Is the last of the grand old
Cub inficld. He stands alone as land
mark of one of the greatest infled COM
binations ever got together, for Tinker,
Chance and Steinfeldt have passed.
Evers and Frank Schultz are the
only members Of the Cub champions
of 1908 who played In the memorable
game In which Fred Merkle pulled his
famous boner In New York by forget
ting to touch second. Evers' presence
of mind In that game marked him as n
brainy player and today there is no
smarter man In baseball than the little
Trojan.

off the field to devise some system to
improve their play.
It Is brains and deep thought as
much as anything else that makes iris
Speaker the greatest outiiclder In the
game and he Is constantly striving
to improve. The same thing may he
said of Cobb's hitting and bnse-run-

A few years ago he noticed diff

They avoided him and gradually lei

This caused Dreyfuss to discon
