EDITORIALS
BARNES Vs, NICHOLS

Sometime over a week ago case was. tried in the Justice Court of Williams which this publication covered and then purposely omitted from it's col 11mns in the following issue. A few of our subscribers have commended upon it's non-ap- pearance,- and have expressed an interest in seeing it in print.
 The NEWS, as stated, cover ed the trial and could find no merits in the whole case that would warrant it's public ation.
 The mission of a newspaper is to conveyneWs that is gather ed by it's staff of scorTespon- dents to it's readers. Its ambition is to act as avel1ic1e 1e of infornaa- fion of general interest, quickly. and reliably, and to maintain, editorially, its convict ctio1s that are of constructive nature. for the benefit of it's readers. This humble little paper has it's iiiaa dividual amhitions, but it.aspires not to destEey ner to- inaitate the yellow journal or the giant daily, featuring murders and Inorbidness. Instead instead, it will try to supply Williams, and the country adjacent, with the newspaper without which its political, eeoHoHaieals andscom-f mercial issaes would be disinte- grate. N
 In this lawsuit it does not pre-3 suTne to judge it's merits, noritS: verdict, although the verdict brought inswas fully expected. It does pfesume to judge it's news valu& Because it savored only of a petty quarrel it could not hold the interest of read CT unless the reader were suf- ficiently mprbid to enjoy a bare recital of HShe did" and s'She didn't" fadfs that bore only the. mark of personal enemies, due probably to jealousy. and sec ond handed gossip. As a story of a friendship between two :. women that turned to hatred it would be asfeature for a fright section' of a Sunday paper. But as Story for this tiny, slowly developing paper WHich strives to become great in it's mission, it hasn't the value of. space.
 The NEWS representative who covered the trial, knew not either of the ladies. He was acquainted$ with the counsel, and the jury, and with one, at least, of the husbands, all of whom he desires as friends of the NEWS.sBut had the impulse been obeyed that strove for at tention thesNEWS would have

Tommy then decided to go after the weIterweight' cham pionship, and in 1894 he fought Joe Walcott in Boston. Tommy held tn , Black Demon even until the sixteenth round, when Joe got over the knock out wallop.
 Tommys next bout was with Tom my Ryan, who defeated him. He then went to England and defeated Tom Williams, but upon his return he lost to George Green, the California vel tCrweight. He fought Tommy Ryan again in Syracuse in 1897, and was knocked out. After that he lost sev- eral good bouts, including two draws with Joe Walcott, but lost a deci- sion to Kid Lavigne. After quitting the ring Tracey became the boxing Ore, the scene of his defeat by Joe Cans. That was no disgrace, however, for the black boy was then in his prime and there was not a white lad who could hold a candle to him.

WHILE the dope-books of the dia- " mond maintain records of many wierd contests, there are few that can compare with the game played by the Atlantics and Forest Citys 49 years ago today, 1870. Nowadays when a team accumulates a dozen runs in the course of nine innings the feat is considered something of a sWat-test, but in the pastime referred to the Forest Citys defeated the Atlantics by a Iop-slded score of 132 to 1, and that, too, in five innings. This was an average of over 26 runs to the in ming for the Forest Citys Nor is 1t to be considered that the clubs en- gagged were 'bushers." The Forest City aggregation of Rockford, H., had in its lineup A. G. Spalding, Cap" Anson and "Ross'' Barnes, three of the most ilIustrtous names in baseball. The Atlautics of Brooklyn ranked among the top-notchers of the diamond of that period, and had sev- 9Eal famous players.
 Tn the year preceding the inaugura- tion of professional baseball, and for some time thereafter, large scores were the rule rather than the excep- tion. Contests usually commenced early in the afternoon---somettm even in the morntng---and continued until dark In 1869, at Buffalo, the -Iiagaras defeated the COlumbias by a. score of 2O9 to 10, which stands as the record for number of runs, all though not quite so one-sided as the Atlantics-Forest City contest. In 1875 the baseball fans were startled by the report of a game in St. Louis in which Chicago defeated the home club by the amazing score of i to
 O. At first the fans did not take kindly to that sort of game, and hungered for more action. With the authorization of overland pitching in 1884 and the consequent improve
 ment in twirling, the day of big scores passed, and baseball began 10 aesume its present form.

pI1 CANS knocked out Frank Erne in the first round at Fort Erie, Nsilt., on this date in 1902. By this victory the negro boxer became light weight champion of the world in about the shortest time on record The battle began with the exchange of light blows, after which they clinched. When they broke away both boys led lefts and followed with their rights. Joe's right connected with Franks jaw, and the champion went down. He was not unconscious, and wriggled about the floor trying to get up, but the fatal ten had been count ed off before he managed it and Charley White, the referee, held up the black hand of the new world 5 champion. Cans was the most sur prised person in the building, and it took several hours for the realization that he was worlds champion light weight to percolate through his dome.

WT HAT was the greatest batting Hs record ever hung up by an in- dividual player in a, single game? Most baseball authorities give the credit to Ed DeIehanty and Bobby Lowe, but neither of these maJor league home run kings quite equalled the mark set up just twenty-four years ago today, May 12, 1895, by a minor leaguer who answered to tho name of Billy Bottenus. On the date in question Billy was wearing the uniform of the Buffalo club in the Eastern League. The Bisons were playing Wilkesbarre, and during the course of the pastime Bottenus got four home runs and a double.
 The previous year Bobby Lowe of the Boston Nationals had connected with Pitcher Chamberlain of the Reds for four home runs and a, single. This stands as the major league rec ord, although it was equalled in 1896 by Ed Delehanty of the Phillies, whose victim was Pitcher Terry of the Chicago Nationals. The nearest approach to this record was made by old Dan Brouthers, while with De- troit. Dennis getting four home runs in one game.
 Billy Bottenus made another great Eastern League record in 1893, when he was playing with Springfield against Binghamton. He led off one inning with q home run. came Q bat a. second time in the same chapter and pulled off another homer, and in the succeeding inning got another drive for the complete circuit. The best batting record for one inning in the majors was that of Fred Merkle of the Giants, now Of Chicago Ma tionals. just eight years ago tomor- row. In a game with the Cardinals, Harmon and Joudermillz twirling, Merkle made a home run and a doub- le in one inning, scoring twice and bringing home five additional runs in one chapter.
 The only modern swatter to equal the old record of four homers and a single in one game was Jackley, a backstop of the Ironton club of the Ohio State League, in 1913. Nash of Hamilton. was the twirIer whose delivery was so soft for Jackley.
