ON BASEBALL GAME
Pitched Balls That Are Near Enough
to Be Called Strikes Are Good
Enough to Hit At.

Major league batsmen who made n
practice OF heckllng the umpires for
doubtful balls and strikes never found
any sympathy with Fred Clarke. The
ex-Plrate leader once expressed tru-
Ism which should be drilled into every
boy who gets into the national pastime.
Wilbur Cooper brought out Clarke's
little line following an argument In
one OF the games played by the Pirates
at Jacksonville. Several Of the Pitts
burgh batters were complaining that
the umpire missed" some that were
an inch or two from the corner OF the
plate.

Good Witnesses.

It was quite an important case and
Mr.. Sixnate, the country lawyer, felt
worried about the result. He was
doubtful of his two witnesses.
SO, when the morning came for them
TO appear In court, he himself called
for them, and together the three drove
to the neighborlng town.
Conversation Jagged. and the lawyer
grew respondent. AS they passed a
field of turnips he pointed to a number
of crows.
"Cnn you see those crows there2"
he asked.
"Yes," answered witness No. 1.
"Now, what color do you think they
are?"
"Whltew answered he who was 90
ing TO speak the whole truth.
The attorney gasped.
"Ah! and what do you Think" ne
asked of No 2.

said he.
Then the lawyer heaved deep sigh
of(relief.

mistakes McGraw has made In Judg.
Ing players, and he has regretted Il
ever since, for In 1913 Rudolph was
traded to the Boston club, and what no
has done In the way Of standing Ma
tionnl league batters on their heads
Is too well known to repeat here.
Rudolph was holdout this season
until late In May, when he finally cains
to terms with the Braves and signed
his contract. In his first start OF the
season he beat the Reds, letting Matty's
team down with one hit, and he proved
concluslvely that he has lost none OF
his cunning In the box.
Early In the spring he tried 20 pur-
chase his release from the Braves for
$4,000, but could not put the deal over.
Manager Stallings knows well what he

After that he developed rapidly, and

Returned After Two Years
Service.

Denver, Colo.-Miss Eunice q. Bea-

armies as .the bravest woman of the
war;" has returned to her home in Den
yer, after two years service on the
western front in France as Red
Cross ambulance driver. After brief
