Congressman Ware, acting as temporary

The nominations for the various Offices

and were brought in on typewriter sheets
and handed around to the various members
to present at the proper time.
The program was carried out smoothly
enough, but Senator McNichol, who had
been handed the slip containing Patton and
Sheehan for secretaries, could not pass the
opportunity for a jab at the Ware dom
ination of the policies of the committee. In
arising to make the nomination he said with
a smile:

Mr.. Lane in declining the election to the

The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1917-08-11

In the days when "gun.6ghting'
was considered the king of sports,
there lived in Dodge City, Kansas, an
enthusiastic exponent of the art. He
was BAT" Masterson. Born in Iro-
quois County, Illionis, in 1854, and
brought up on a. farm, Masterson at
an early age became an artistic man
ipulator of the "six-gun" and jumped
into the limelight by the powder
route.
1t became rather obvious to the
general public who from time to time
came into contact with young Mas
tersop that his talents of lead throw
ing nature were good, and he received
a wide berth from those of meeker
spirit.
In the early days Of the great West,
when it was necessary to get food
from the game herds of the plains,
Masterson was employed to kill buff
faloes for some of the great hunting
outfits which piled between the Ar
kansas and Canadian rivers, and it
was during this period Of game mas
sacre that he received the nickname
of Bat"
Masterson later came East and was
appointed a Deputy United States
Marshal for the Southern District of
New York by President Roosevelt.
He later was offered a position as a
sporting writer on metropolitan
daily and now turns out sporting
dope" in truly docile manner.
He is very much averse to publicity
on his past life and has never been
known to give GU a story" concern
ing it. Those who knew him in the
wild days of Dodge, however, never
tire of telling of his exploits.
Bat" is now a familiar figure
among the bright lights of Broadway,
where he now is known by the impos.
ing cognomen of William Barclay
Masterson."

Evers Gets Place.
Joe Evers, Of the Quakers. is give1
a place on second base. Joe deserves
it, and can hold the honor against all
corners. He won that place through
his scrap. his speed, and his ability
with the stick. Joe Is leading the
league in stolen bases.
Caveney. of Springfield. is given the
short field position on the mythical
lineup In making this selection,
Dunno also mentioned two others.
Hobbs. of Dayton, and Brubaker OF
Muskegon. but says nothing Of Goldie
Rapp, of the Quakers. II Goldie lacks
anything that the others possess, it lie
nothing more than gift of CAB.
Goldies has the speed, the head and
the all-around ability of a real ball
player, but at the same time Goldie is
not as free with the "old rag" as he
might be and this is plentiful In the
other candidates.
Dunno has named an outfield. as
good as any i'm the league, but as
wohel, not any better than some
others. Walker deserves place with
out question, but in naming Ellington
and Miller for the other positions,
Dunno has evidently forgotten Hanger.
of Evansville, who is hitting close to
800, is one base behind Evers for
stolen bases, and has as much pep as
any man in the circuit.
Aauoer Deserves place
Hanger could well be given the place
of Ellington, in spite of the latters
position in the averages, for. if Eding-
tons manner throughout the circuit is
like it has been in Richmond, he would
not be desirable for big time. The
majors of today are looking for men
that are gentlemen at all times.
Another good selection made by
Dunno is that of Alcock for utility
Scotty is utility itself. He can play
nine positions on the diamond, and is
good at any of them.

Who are the players in the Central
league best qualified to be chosen on
an All-Star team?
After playing out two-thirds Of the
league schedule, the various first-class
opponents Of the diamond pastime
have shown just about what they can
do. The league has plenty of stars.
and choosing among them is not exact
ly an easy task, although there nat
urally is bit Of marked superiority
about those who do rank first, or they
wouldn't be there.
Following a comparison of records
and those other elements, including
brain work, that do not enter into
official statistics, we have dreamed out
the following mythical team and dub
bed it the All-Star cast of the Central
league:
Pitchers - Faeth, Grand Rapids
Haines, Springfield; Willis, Peoria,
and Carpenter, Grand Rapids.
Catcher-Smith. Fort Wayne.
First Base-Mathes, Grand Rapids.
Second Base-Evers, Richmond
Third Base-Mitchell, Grand Rapids.
Shortstop-Caveney Springfield.
Left Field-Edington, Grand Rapids.
Center Field-Walker, Springfield.
Right Field-Miller, Grand Rapids
Utility - Alcock, Grand Rapids

News.
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1917-08-11
BY DON WAREEL

Picking an All Star team in the
Central circuit has but one draw-ba ok.
Grand Rapids is given the majority of
the places on the team, on account Of
the teams standing in the league.
Grand Rapids players have had the
advantage of playing on the same team
with two of the best pitchers in the
league, who are given places on
DUNES All Star cast
Every other team in the circuit has
been against this brand of pitching.
and naturally has not made as good a
showing as Grand Rapids. A three
base hit from the delivery of Faeth
deserves more credit than one from
any of the less brilliant slabmen in the
league, for Faeth is hard to hit.
Shift Would Change Matters.
Dunno made what was probably the
best selection possible under the con-
ditions, but if some of the players on
the tail-end clubs were put with Grand
Rapids, it is easy to believe that they
would far outshine some of the men
on DUNES team. Or, if the Grand
Rapids hurlers could be placed on
some of the second division clubs, they
would not look so good. With at leas.
eight players for each position in the
circuit, we say it is impossible to pick
any one that has even shade on all
the rest.
DUNES best selection was probably
in the pitching staff. In addition to
the. four named, Wachtel and Coffin
daffer are mentioned, and here is CIV
en- a chance to start an argument. The
four mentioned, however, are leading
the league and have played most con-
sistently all season. The selection OF
a catcher, according to Dunno was also
easy, but at the same time, Smith has
been able to rest occasionally, while
Hauser, of Richmond has missed one
game since he joined the club, double
headers and all. If Hauser could rest
up by taking his turn with another

Roush Gets Lead.

In the National league Roush Of
Cincinnati is hitting .341 and has pull
ed away from Hornsby of St. Louis
who was pushing him for the lead last
week. Hornsby, batting at 1926 clip,
cling to. second place, although he
dropped three points The ST. Louis
shortstop increased his lead in total
bases. His 100 hits in 95 games have
been stretched into 176 bases, because
of 10 doubles, u triples, and eight
home runs. The last item earned him
tie with Cravath, of Philadelphia for
circuit drive honors last week and the
number remains unchanged.
Burns of New York, increased his
lead as a run getter. He has scored
~ times. Carey Of Pittsburgh did not
steal any additional bases, but his
mark of 30 continued to top the base
stealers.
The triple tie at Fl for sacrifice hit
honors, held by the Chicago trio
Doyle, Deal and Williams remained
unbroken.
