HOTEL OWNER CUTS

Doesn't Want to Rear His son OF
Profits From Bar; Thinks He

one of the real hotels that are a part
OF the life of the city. of the spirit of
the thousands who so to the metro
polls for a holtday-can such hos
telry be operated successfully without
a bar?"
Case has closed his bar and it will
remain closed. To group of his
friends he announced his purpose.
When they had recovered from their
astonishment they asked him why he
had taken such stand
Well. there's one reason right
here" replied Case. pointing TO a
small boy crossing the hotel lobby
with a bunch of school books under
his arm, on his way to the elevator to
go to the family apartments upstairs.

BALL PLAYERS MAKE
G0OO TRAP SHOOTERS
Grover Cleveland Alexander. "ChieF'
Hender and TT Cobb Are
Excellent Shots.

New York. April Stood baseball
players also make good trapsh ooters.
1t is an accepted fact that It requires
the same concentration. the same "pi-
lot eyes" the same acting in unison Of
the eye. brain and nerves. to become
a successful baseball player that IT
does to become an expert trapshooter
and in either sport it requires no end
OF practice and determination to be-
come a leader.
The fellows who slug the ball the
hardest-Speaker, Cobb. Collins. Dau-
bert, Jackson. Gardner and Lewis-are
all proficient trapshooters. and the
pitchers who have the greatest con-
trci-like Alexander, Bush, Bender
Shawkey and PIank--are top-notchers
in the handling of a trapgun and in
the breaking of the clay targets.
All this causes US TO remark that
Grover Cleveland Alexander and Charles
.'h"rt Bender are about the two best
shots in baseball. Bender--the man
that Connie Mack said was the great
est money pitcher. the greatest one
game pitcher and the most dependahle
pitcher in baseball excels all the
other ball players as a trapshot The
could no doubt do better than he does
IL one OF the professional instructors
had him in hand for few lessons. but
at that Bender averages about SO.
Bender was on the Phiiiies with
Alexander last year, and the day that
Grover attached his signature TO a 1917
contract calling for something like
$i2,s0e in regular money, Bender was
given his unconditional release. Ben
der was an even nobleT figure on the
pitching mound few years ago than
Alexander As today, Maybe he didn't
win as many games in the years aver
ages. but he was always there in the
pinch, and a great deal Of the success
OF the Athletics can be attributed 10
the Big Chief.
That. however. is apart from the
story we had in mind. During the win
ter season Bender shoots at the Beide-
man club, of Camden. n j.. and on
Washington's birthday the Indian in
weighed Alexander to join Superinten-
dent of Police Robinson. OF Philadel-
phia. and others in a shoot at that club.
Bender broke SO of his 100 clay birds:
Alexander broke 81.
: Several days later Bender and Joe
Bush. now the leading light on the
Athletics pitching STAFF. picked teams
of ten shooters each and engaged In
n contest at the Whitemarsh Country
club Bender on this occasion broke
so straight Bush broke 80, Alexan-
der vas a member of the Bush team.
and broke ~. Billy killifer. OF the
Pills catching star. was on Bender's
team and broke 80 Bush team beat
the Indians team. 420 to 403.
Bender may or may not play any
more major league baseball. but II ne
doesn't he long will be remembered.
not only by the baseball fans. but by
the trapshoeters and golfers. for the
Indian, be IL known. is considerable
OF a golfer. One can only remain a
few years as n baseball hero, but
there is no limit to the time one may
retain prestige in other branches of
sport.

ONO GETTING TIRED
Paying LARGE SUMS
State Fast Warming Up and An Inva.
sion OF Wet Workers
Has Begun.

Last year it costs Ohio more than
- 100000 to maintain institutions to
care for criminals and dependents.
This amount is merely for mainten-
ance and does not include the cost or
grounds. buildings, machinery. etc.
There are twenty of these institutions.
1t Is conservative to say that so per
cent of the trouble represented in fif-
teen of twenty of these institutions is
due to drink.
Walter j. Hoshal. who managed the
dry campaign In The city of Detroit
last fall, is now managing the CAM
paign in Columbus and Franklin

An INVASION OF the state by wet
workers has begun. Carl Minklen. of
Wisconsin, is travelling over the state
under the auspices Of the brewery
workers. His task is to line up the
working men against prohibition and
he is attempting to organize Union
Labor Liberty league.
The town OF Fairport Harbor, Lake

A total vote of 43S was polled and the
drys had a majority OF lis. Two years
ago when the town voted the drys

The police of Bellaire say that nine

More than fifty OF the eighty-eight
counties OF this state have. already
been organized by the drys.
The dry forces OF Batavia township,
Brown county, have filed q petition
with trustees asking for a township
local option election, and the day OF
election has been fixed for April 3.
There are now three saloons in oper-
alton.
