Swedish Citizens Are Said to Be

Center City, Minn.-Loyalty to the
nation and it's government were ex-
pressed in a telegram to President
Wilson sent by the Minnesota confer
ence of the Lutheran Augustant synod,
which held it's sessions here.
The telegram, signed by President
P. A. Mattson and Secretary ]. B. A.
Idstrom, was as follows:
THE Minnesota conference of the
Lutheran Augustant synod, in session
assembled in Center City, expresses
it's loyalty to our country and it's gov
eminent in the present crisis, and asks
the Lord to guide you in the trying
duties that confront you.'
Delegates to the conference brought
word from all sections that the Swed-
ish citizens of Minnesota are among
it's most loyal. This county, the old
est Swedish settlement in the state,
has sent fifty of its boys to the navy
in the past few weeks, and many of
them already are doing duty on war
ships or in the Philadelphia navy
yards.

BASEBALL GAME TAME
Too Much Candy in National Pas
time, Says Gleason.
Famous Star of Bygone Days Remind
ed by Honus Wagner Of Time Pr
rate Players Cut His Shoes
With Their Sharp Spikes.

There's too much candy in the
game now
With disgusting shrug of his shout
ders, the indomitable Kid Gleason thus
gave vent to his feelings concerning a
sport that no longer carries the aggres-
sive trend of the nineties.
Gleason, who was one of the scrap
piest players that ever pushed run
ner off a base, has reached the fiftieth
milestone in his life, but move about
with Il Kilbane step, and his eye is
just as true as Iris Speakers.
The famous star of bygone days
went to a hotel in Philadelphia one
night last summer to see his old friend
Jimmie Callahan. Wagner and Cal
were talking when the tabasco kid
Joined the conference. After discuss
ing current events for few hours,
Honus turned and said to Gleason:
''Say, Kid, you remember the day
Clarke and the boys cut your shoes off
in Philadelphia
GleasOn's eye took on retrospective
gaze as his mind fitted back a dozen
or fifteen years, but he made no reply
to Ways remark. None was neces-,
sary, however, as his face indicated
that he had recalled the incident vi
wildly. Gleason left few minutes.
after, and Honus remarked:
1--WE started series here, and Fred
and some Of the rest of the speeders
had the Kid almost barefooted before
the fifth inning arrived, but every one
Of us who reached second during the
remainder Of the series carried al
Gleason-brand trade mark.
"After the Kids second shoe started
to unravel from the spike wounds he
got real sore. Clarke was on first, and
grounder was hit to short. A force
play was started, but Gleason deliber-
ately took his foot off the bag and
sunk the ball in between two Of
Clarke's ribs. They had to call time
while the ball was yanked from Fred's
hide. The Pittsburgh team was glad
when that series was finished.
"GleasOn could get more men steal
ing than any other second baseman 1
have ever seen. If he had the ball as
soon as the runner the latter was new
er safe, as is usually the case now.
The Kid had slick way of rolling
the runner off the bag, and his trick
fooled most of the umpires.
"Guess Kid is right" concluded
Honus. "The players are eating can
dy now instead Of plug tobacco"

slOw-baller, is also through with the
Detroit Tigers after some six years Of
splendid service.
To the layman it is often mystery
how these slow-ball pitchers could get
by. Reporters, some of whom had
played ball at college and elsewhere,
would sit behind Jack Warhop's serv-
ice, and their hands would itch for a
bat so they could stick one Of Hops
benders into the Harlem river. But
WARRIOR, though never a star, lasted
in the big league seven years. And
Jack never had any luck, or he would
have been rated much higher as a
pitcher than was the case.
