Sport Snap Shots
BY JACK KEENE.

The custom of buying ball players
dates back to the early sos, writes
an eastern scribe in discussing the
subject. He goes on to say that al
though the deals and prices paid were
not as large as at the present time, II
may interest some of the present day
fans to recall some of the famous
deals of early days as the old time
records show. They created much
interest then and the press Of that de-
cade had much to say pro and con-
The sale custom followed the scandal
of 1870, and rules were made that
players should sign contracts and
could not Jump from team to team.
Chicago started something in 1876,
the opening year of the National
league, and stole AL Spalding, pitch
err; Jarves White, catcher;t Ross Bar
mes, second baseman, and CaFMcVey,
first baseman, from the champion
Boston team Of 1875. They were known
as the Stolen four" This deal Gre
ated such a row in baseball that
teams had to buy players afterward.
The Detroit club paid large sum
for the franchise and players of the
Buffalo team at the end of the sea-
son of 1885. The "big four" Dan
Brouthers, Hardy Richardson, Jim
White and w. Rowe, were secured
The Tigers, however, had to wait until
1887 to win their first National league
pennant.
The Boston club wanted to land the
National league pennant in 1887 and
startled the baseball world by paying
$4,000 to Chicago for Catcher Mike
Kelly, who helped the White Stockings
to win in 1885 and 1885. This deal
created as much of a sensation at that
time as some of the present day sales
and trades. Boston did not land the
pennant with King Kelly, the $4,000
beauty, as he was called by the press.
Boston wanted the pennant badly. and
as the club had plenty of money in
1883, $4,000 was paid for Pitcher
Clarkson of Chicago. Here was an
other big sensation Kelly and Clark
son worked hard that season, but
Boston got no higher than fourth
place.

Tells Why A Corn Is So Painful And
Says Cutting Makes
Them Grow.

Press an electric button and you
form a contact with live wire which
rings the bell. When your shoes press
against your corn it pushes its sharp
roots down upon a sensitive nerve and
you get shock of pain.
Instead of trimming your corns,
which merely makes them grow, just
step into any drug store and ask for a
quarter of an ounce of freezone. This
will cost very little but is sufficient to
remove every hard or soft corn or

applied directly upon tender, ach-

MURDER OF NEGRO WAS
COLD-BLOODED CRIME
JIM McGILL CONFESSES TO KILL.
ING ED. WILLIAMS NEAR
HAMPSHIRE.

The murder of Ed Williams, negro
farmer in the Cathey's Creek com
munity near Hampshire, was one OF
the most cold blooded tragedies ever
committed in Maury county, accord
ing to the evidence in the vicinity of
the crime. Jim McGill, another negro,
has confessed to the murder and is
now in the Maury county Jail await
ing the next session of the grand jury.
Acting Coroner Hugh Lee Webster,
accompanied by Sheriff ]. Walter
Griffin and Deputy Marshall E. l..
Davidson, went to the scene OF. tle
murder Thursday morning, where an
inquest was held. The coronor's jury
returned verdict that Ed Williams
had come to his death at the hands of
an unknown person. But it was not
long before the murderer had been
arrested and made complete con-
fession. He was brought to Columbia
Thursday afternoon.
The killing occurred about dusk
Wednesday on lane leading through
farm west of Hampshire. The muir
derer had made brush arbor in
fence corner just few feet inside a
gate through which his victim would
have to pass. Through the brush
there was a loophole to put the gun
and watch for the unsuspecting vic
tim. Two shots were fired, both of
which took effect. 1t is thought that
the first shot knocked Williams from
his horse and the second was fired at
close range, the wad from the shell
going into his head. He probably was
killed instantly.
Learning that Williams had had
some trouble with Jim McGill, Sheriff
Griffin and Deputy Marshall Davidson
went to a saw mill near the edge of
Lewis county where they found Nc
Gill at work. They took him back to
Hampshire before telling him for
what he had been arrested. Then
Sheriff Griffin said: "Jim, l have ar
rested you for killing that negro yes
terday."
Il shore done it" replied McGill
instantly.
McGills only explanation Of his
crime was that Williams had been
running after his wife.
