Jesse Tannehil1, now an umpire and
once a star pitcher and hard hitter,
was descanting on baseball OF the old
days. "The Boston Americans Of
1904-5," he said, never had q sign,
and we won the pennant with hve
pitchers-Young, Winter, Gibson,
Dineen, and Tannehill. CoIlins-he
was the manager, you remember
used to say. You pitch nine rounds
today, Young, no matter what hap
pens,' so the pitcher went his dis
tance and other pitchers weren't used
up by having to go in and relieve one
another. Ny experience with the
New York team In 1908 was unusual
T couldn't win at home. but won sew
enteen on the road and Griffith let
me 60 to Boston. Lew Criger, who
caught Dineen and Young and later
was with the Yanks-remember him?
There was a catcherl No greater
thrower ever lived. Pitchers now
adays have to hold ronners on the
bases themselves, but Criger could
dare the runner and then turn him
back. All the baseman had to do was
to hold his hands, then touch the
runner. Crigsr'd put the ball right In
his glove every time"

BOY LOCKED IN ORPHEUM
Found by Policeman Attracted by His
Cries.

Policeman Gross of the Haarig beat
was attracted to the Orpheum Theater
last night about 11:30 by the cries
of the 9-year old son of Barney Loos,
who had fallen asleep during the per-
formance and was not noticed when
the building was being locked up for
the night. Gross liberated the young
ster, who appeared badly frightened
over his experience, and accompanied
him home.
The boy, tired from his days play,
fell asleep during the show, and not
aware of his presence, the manager
closed the doors and left the theater.
An hour later the boy awoke and find
ing himself alone in the place began
to scream for assistance. Several men
passing the theater heard the boys
cries and called Policeman Gross, who
released the lad. He was so badly
frightened that he was unable to give
his name. After quizzing the lad for
some time the policeman learned his
name and took him home.

CONCERT ENJOYED BY MANY
First Entertainment of Season Given
By Schuchert's Band.

Several hundred citizens gathered
at the Courthouse Park yesterday
evening to attend the concert given by
the Schuchert Band, the first public
entertainment given by the musicians.
The five numbers of the program were
well played and proved the precise
training of the members under the di-
rection of DR.. C. E. Schuchert.
The next concert will be given
Thursday evening. The band has been
engaged by the Commercial Club for
the season. 1t is probable, however
that the schedule of the season cannot
be finished, as the band is expected
to be called out for tiaining at any
time. 1t has been accepted as the band
for the reorganized Missouri Sixth.

COMMON PLEAS TO
ADJOURN TODAY
Pro Forma Decree of Incorpora-
ton Granted Commercial Club
Two Cases on Docket.

The May term of the Common Pleas
Cour will be adjourned today, Judge
Snider announced yesterday afternoon
after all cases docketed for the day
were disposed of. Only two cases
remain on the docket, and will be pass
ed on this morning.
The petition for Incorporation of the
Commercial Club, which was filed sew
eral days ago in the Common Pleas
Court, was granted by Judge Snider
who issued a pro forma decree of in
corporation to the club. The charter
will be secured from the Secretary of
State in the near future.
Circuit Judge Kelly temporarily oc-
cupied the bench in the Common Pleas
Court yesterday morning, while the at
torneys in the case of C. J. and John
P. Engelmann against H. NJ. Amel-
unke argued on the motion to have
the Judgment given in the suit several
months ago set aside. Judge Snider
disqualified himself in the case and
asked Judge Kelly to act in his stead.
The motion was overruled by the
Judge, and the case subsequently ap-
pealed. The purpose Of the suit was
to cancel a deed which Amelunke re-
ceived from the plaintiff.
The case of Anton Schrader against
L. w. Bender, who attempted to have
an attachment obtained by Bender set
aside, was decided in favor of the
plaintiff. The verdict found by the
jurors upheld the attachment. The
suit grew out of the controversy over
the payment Of the erection of a
building. A special venire of twenty
men was called by the Judge and the
jury selected from this number.

CHARTER APPLIED
FOR BY BOY SCOUTS
Uniforms Expected to Arrive
Next Week-Three Troops
Established Here.

The organization of the Boy Scouts
was completed in the meeting held yes
terday evening at the Commercial
Club, when Scoutmasters Wilson Balm
and Rush Limbaugh announced the
formation of the three troops and de-
cided to apply for charter with the
proceeds of the benefit show given two
weeks ago and the appropriation made
by the Commercial Club the expenses
Of securing the charter can be easily
betrayed.
Scoutmaster Limbaugh has been in
formed that the suits for the members
of the local organization would be
shipped from New York today. They
are expected to arrive Monday morn
ing or afternoon. The boys have been
very anxious to don the uniforms. The
announcement made last night that
these would be here soon was greeted
with loud applause, as the boys have
been very anxious to don their uni
forms. Scoutmaster Balm warned the
boys last night not to accept orders
from anyody who is not in charge of
the organization or has been author
lied by the scoutmasters. The order
was due to the tilt Scoutmaster Balm
had Wednesday afternoon with Purnell
Justice of Doniphan, who has ordered
the boys to meetings on several occa-
sions.

who were commissioned to organize
the local organization. decided last
night to communicate with the ma
tional headquarters of the organiza-
tiOn to restrain Justice from giving
out any further orders to the Boy
Scouts of the city. "If everybody"
Scoutmaster Balm said, "would assume
the authority to issue orders to the
boys, the local organization would soon
be disrupted, and therefore no order
shall be issued without the permission
of the local scoutmasters."
Justice came to the Cape several
weeks ago, and without notifying those
in command of the local organization
of Boy Scouts, ordered the members to
appear at the Commercial Club for a |
The following day the local
scoutmasters took him to task to as
certain the authority for his actions.
The young man maintained that he |
had that right as scoutmaster.
Young Justice appeared before the
Commercial Club at the last meeting
and offered to have the Boy Scouts |
assist in the campaign for the pur-
chase of Liberty Bonds, and the fol-
lowing day ordered the boys out. |
Scoutmasters Limbaugh and Balm said |
last night they did not object in the |
least to the principle of the young |
mans action, but did not think he
should give any orders to the boys |
asking their permission as
they had been placed in command of |
the organization.

| The report on the condemnation
proceedings for the vacation of Mer
riwether street will be filed in tht
Common Pleas Court this afternoon
before the May term is adjourned b!
Judge Snider. The document will be
on file in the court in order to allow
the property owners who are effected
by the condemnation, to file any ex-
ceptions to this report. Ten days will
be granted for the filing of the ex-
ceptions.
No damages and no benefits were
assessed against the property along
the street which is to be vacated. The
re-establishment of the grade of Mer-
riwether street will extend from the
river to Sprigg street. West of Fred
erick street the grade will be changed
only few feet.
After many conferences the COM
missioner decided to levy the costs of
the construction of the viaduct for the
tracks of the Cape Girardeau & North
ern Railway Co. against the railroad.
1t was decided to cut the street
through the elevation between Lori
mier and Frederick street to permit
the tracks to remain in the same posi-
tion in which they were found by the
commissioner. The railroad will be
forced to construct the viaduct for the
further maintenance of its right-of-
way. This will cost the railroad at
least $4,000, if Judge Snider accepts
the report. 1t is believed a petition
of protest will be presented.
The viaduct, it is estimated will be
at least 20 feet long, extending from
the north side of Merriwether to the
south side of the street, leaving about
35 feet for the approaches on both
sides. The clearance of the bridge
will be sufficiently high to permit a
box car with a man standing erect on
the top of the car to pass under the
bridge.
The report was compiled by A. C.
Vasterling, c. c. Hawley and D. NJ.
Scivally, who had been appointed COM
missioners by the court; Senator Thos.
F. Lane, who had been employed as
special counsel for the proceedings,
and City Counselor Knehans. After
viewing the property along the street
the commissioners arrived at the con-
clusion that no damages and no bene-
fits should be assessed.
The condemnation of the property
for the vacation of Merriwether street
was authorized by an ordinance more
than a year ago. The work was prin-
cipally delayed because of the topo-
graphical difficulties that had to be
overcome in laying out the grade for
the street.
