UMPIRE SHOWED HIS NERVE
Manaqer McGraw Relates Incident
Showing Courage Of Tim Hurst
in Important Ball Game.

81 never saw an umpire display more
nerve in a critical situation than the
late Tim Hurst did one day In Cleve-
land years ago." said John McGraw.
II was with the Orioles, and at the
time we had to dress In q shack uh'
der the grandstand, adjoining another
In which the Cleveland team dressed.
In the Cleveland dressing room small
space had been set apart for Hurst
to dress in, which led to rather tick
lish situation.
"In an important game we had Cleve-
land beaten 2 to 0, when they went to
bat in the ninth and filled the bases
with two out. Pat Tebeau was at bat
and he jumped out in front of the
batters box to smash slow drop
which the pitcher delivered to him,
driving the ball to the fence In left
center for three bases. The runners
scored, and 1t looked as If the game
was over, but Wilbert Robinson, who
was catching for us, called Hurst's at
tentlon to the fact that Tebeau had
stepped out of his box, and Tim called
him out, at which there was a near
riot.
"The Cleveland players were In n
rage and threatened Hurst with all
kinds of bodily harm, but Tim calmly
walked down to their dressing room,
donned his clothes and as calmly walk
ed out without so much as glancing at
the home team. 1t took real courage
to do that, but Tim never fiinched."

Philadelphia Lawyer illustrated Lead
Ing Questions" in Court With Dip
lomatlc Kiss Story.

The late John G.. Johnson, a Phlla-
delphia lawyer, was once explaining
to q jury the nature and the unfair
ness of Headlng" or guiding questions.
He illustrated his explanation with an
anecdote.
"a young chap and pretty girl" he
said, "sat on secluded bench at
Lemon Hill. The girl turned to him
and said earnestly:
"'You ask me for kiss. There Is
a language in kisses. A kiss on the
hand denotes chlvalrous respect. = On
the forehead 1t denotes firm and
faithful friendship. On the lips"
her color rose and she drew long
breath-"a kiss on the lips denotes all
things. Kiss me, then, once. Ex-
press In one kiss your feeling toward
me-
"The bashful youth pondered.
az don't want to lose her. he said
to himself. Where Is the best to kiss
herr Hand, forehead, or lipsT
"a mellow whistle interrupted him.
He looked at the girl. Her red mouth
was puckered up In the form Of a rose
bud; she had pulled down her hat
so as to hide her forehead completely,
and both hands were thrust up to the
wrists In her pockets"

A DRY DIVISION.
Conducted by the National Woman'i
Christian Temperance UnionJ

A DRY DIVISION.
Gen. John It. Organ, commander OF
the New York National Guard. Is ma
jor general In the United States army.
He Is one of only two Of the National
Guard officers to be thus honored.
General O'Ryan, who last year put his
10000 border troops on the water wag'
on, takes bone-dry division Of 37,OOO
men to France. In an address issued
to every one OF these men on their re-
sponsibillty for the efficiency Of the
DIVISION he said this:
"Alcohol, whether you call 1t beer,
wine, whisky, or by any other name, Is
breeder of inefllciency. While 1t
affects men differently, the results are
the same, In that all affected by 1t
cease for the time to be normal. Some
become forgetful, others quarrelsome
Some become noisy, some get sick,
some sleepy; others have their pas
slons greatly stimulated. When you
stop to consider the thousands In q
division, do you not see how Vital to ef-
flciency is the elimination of liquor?
II one officer or man Is. permitted to
use liquor, then others will claim the
right to do so. How can division of
troops be ever ready-ever up on the
bit to drive ahead or thrust back the
enemy's drlve-lf through the presence
of this insidious evil some soldiers for.

silence Is essential, fall asleep when
every faculty should be alert, or are

Would that every soldier boy In our
army could serve under such a wise
general. And the mothers, wives, SIS
ters and sweethearts of the enlisted
men will echo this wish.

BOXING LIKED BY SOLDIERS
Art Of SeIf-Defense Has for Long Time
Been Encouraged In English
Army and Navy.

The introduction of the manly art of
seIt-defense into the training work of
the various military, camps throughout
this country will be good thing for
the young soldiers.
In England boxing has for a long
time been encouraged In the army and
navy.
Many noted British professionals are
men who learned to box while serving
in the ranks or on shipboard In the
royal service.
1t is a certainty that from now on
the same ideas will be carried out In
this country, and 1t Is sure to follow
that boxing gloves will be part of the
equipment of every encampment Of the
American soldiers and Of every Amerl-
can man-of-war.

believe that Detroit would find 1t very
hard to retain his services If New York
offered him an eXtravagant salary,
which they can well afford to do and
which would be big strain on De-
troit's treasury to meet with an equal
offer.
Along with the name of Jennings Is
mentioned that of "Bllly" Evans, the
American league umpire. 1t Is even
said that President Johnson is of the
opinion that Evans would qualify as
first-class manager and that he would
be willing to lose the services of his
best arbitrator for the sake of having
winning American league team In
New York.

MAY MANAGE YANKEES
President Rupert Wants Hugh
Jennings to Run Team.
Owner 10 Dissatisfied With Results OBJ
talned Under Donovan and viii
Bid High for Services Of
Detroit Leader.

There Is little doubt that the New
York American League club will have
new manager when the 1918 cam
paign begins, says the Philadelphia
Ledger. 1t has been rumored with
more or less frequency oil season that
President Rupert was extremely dis
satisfied with the results obtained un-
der Manager Donovan, but that he did
not blame him personally for the poor
showing Of the team.
One official of the Yankees went so
far as to say that Donovan would be
with the club next year, but this is
secuted by those In q position to know.
Tom Needham, the old Boston and Chi
cago catcher, who managed the New
ark club Of the International league
with much success this year, would be
the man at the managerial helm Of the
luckless Yanks In 1918.
Within the last two weeks, however,
It has come to our knowledge that
Colonel Ruppert, who was in Chicago
ostensibly to confer with President
Johnson about his managershlp, will
not be satisfied unless he gets man
whose success will not be at all prob
lematical. 1t is known that Colonel
Rupert wants Hugh Jennings for
manager.
Whether President Navln Of the De-
troit club would permit his manager
to go to New York Is not known, but

MOVING FOR A DRY CHICAGO.

Chicago is in q wet and dry cam

will vote upon the question next April.
'It is the largest city in the world
that ever organized to put It's saloons
out of business" says Rev. Philip Var

that the day will win, provided all vot'
ers opposed to the saloon will register
and vote. The federation has a special
committee which will look after per-

one man loses his job by the closing OF

SIGNIFICANT sIDELIoHTs.

In the first weekend under Nebras'
ka's dry law, one Omaha store reports,
the sales of infants shoes increased
8 per cent. At the end Of the second
and third weeks the increases were
still more marked. A woman told
department manager that when the sa-
looms were open her husband spent one
half OF his weekly earnings for liquor.
Now, after n few weeks Of prohibition,
rho had $50 in the savings bank, and
had bought $11 worth of cooking uten-
slls, articles she had needed for years.
This is just one of many similar sto-
ries from dry states.

INCREDIBLE STORY.

A former Harvard University student who is driving an ambulance on the west battle front in France reported in letter to his father a short time ago that German airmen, flying by night over a French town near the Rheims, dropped poisoned candy, causing many deaths of children who ate it the next day Is this "kultur?' Incredible as this may seem yet if We remember that not long ago attempts were made to poison Americans in one of the middle west states just as treacherously as in the candy report But as close to home as proof of such incredible action may be. it is hard to believe them because American minds and hearts do not seek the destruction of life among the in nOcent in such manner
 The leaders of that country today, the men who gre being followed by the great bulk of the German people, pride themselves upon having turned Germany into nation which practices that scientific savagery. As exPresident Roose- welt said recently in one of his addresses: "They take from civilization only the things which en- able them to devise efficient instruments of tor ture and destruction; and then they revive out of what we hoped was the dead and gone barbar- ism of the dark ages, those qualities of heart and soul which make these scientific instruments in their hands deadly menace to humanity. They use the resources of science precisely as an old time Apache used a rifle-as weapon more efficient than his former savage weapon, and to be used with more than the old-time ruthless savagery.' From that, can we wonder that the world wants to down kaiserism?
