ALL TWIRLERS
THINKS THERE MIGHT BE
GAME If LOWDERMfLk AND
BRESS-ER WERE CALLED ON
TO DO THE HONORS.
fay RING w. LARDNER.)

Chicago, Oct Scents, the speclai
train for Cincy will leave tonight at
eleven thirty, new time, and wouio
advise everybody to be there with
their tooth brush and typewriter. The
train will leave out of the Pennsyi-
vania station and Immediately on ar
irving in old Cincincy it would be
great idear to try and get room
somewheres so as you can get shaVeo.
The game tomorrow will be the
crucial game of the series and 1t looks
to me like it would be between Grover
Lowdermilk and RUDE Bressler. Meth
err manager dares to pitch anybody
else.
Today's game here was just ex-
hifition between the White Sox and
Reds and believe me it was some
exhibition. 1t looked like both G 8
was having a battl. to sec which CO :"
get men out tl-o s'owest. FL ally
Joe Jackson hit pop fly into the rir<~
field seats and broke up the game. as
far as I am concerned.
The first two White Sox pitchers
was Williams and James and I can't
tell you why they either of them
is plural and If / was running it 1
would call they William and Jane.
I wouldn't plural neither one of the
both of them. If I was manager l would
pitch a gpy with singular name
like Lowdermilk. Another thing Man
Hager Gleason did today was to change
the outfield around to deceive the
newspaper men. The scheme worked
perfectly and 1 do hope he is salts
fled. know am.
Speaking about this world serious 1

tell you the different records I seen
broke.
1t was the first world serious that
Morris Rath ever broke a bat in. 1t
is the only world serious which Sher-
wood Magee ever got a base hit.
1t is the only world serious that
Umpire Nailin ever called a strike
on Jake Daubert. 1t is probably the
last serious / will ever see. So much
for the records.
Now to get down to facts Here
is quotations from letter received
just before the game by a Chicago
baseball writer. Il have been a fol-
lower of athletics for years. and have
taken part in athletics in my young
er days. l have been greatly amused
during the present series In readings
the ifs and butts explaining Chicago
defeat from day to day. 1t looks like
"a case of sour grapes to me. In fact
it borders on rowdyism. 1 suppose if
you lose another game or two you
will mob the Cincinnati team.
Well 1 know this here Chicago
baseball writer that the letter come
to and he never mentioned sour grapes
in his life or ordered them neither and
as for mobbing the Cinti base ball

club why this same baseball writer
was standing with me when the CLUBS
come out of the club house and Sner-
wood Magee come up and spoke TO the
both of us. If that don't prove now
we stand I don't know what will or
care neither one.
Now personally I don't think they
will be a game tomorrow and if there
is I don't know who will pitch as l
seen Ban johnson after today's al
legged game and he had suspended all
the pitchers on both clubs.
While being exhausted at the game
I finely set down and read the follow
ing in the afternoon paper. The names
of the early dukes of Normandy as
well as their family history are known
but very dimly and it may be as well
that it should be so for their descent
does not seem to have been as ortho
dox as it might B thus William 1 of
England civilian of Normandy was
the illegitime son of his predecessor
Robert the Devil and so on. How
can a man pay any attention to a
ball game like that when they's such
good stuff to read in the evening pa
perS.

BY FRED TUR8YvILLE

The Reds won the pennant today and
while the young stars of Cincinnati
are basking In the limelight of popular
champions, should not be deprived of
his position big portion-of the
glory.
For. coupled with the natural ability
of the Redleg athletes was the Moran
personality which made a National
League flag winner and a worlds
championship team.
Behind each brilliant pitching per-
Torrance, behind each bit of sparkling
fielding and baserunning, behind each
mighty rally of the batsmen. was the
remarkable Moran-the deciding factor
In this years baseball race.
1t was John Prick Moran who. with
no better than an average aggrega-
ton of ball players, accomplished what
many famous diamond generals had
failed to accomplish in Cincinnati.
His advent as manager of the Reds
last spring failed to create more than
a ripple in the Cincinnati slough of
despond." They had seen good men
come and go-men with better material
than Moran had in hand. But they had
never seen a National League pennant
flying from their ball yard. The ad-

him.
But the sill ent leader quickly went
about his task. TIE flirted with first
place for weeks as mid-season ap-
preached, but no one took the Reds Sc
riously. They We're doomed to fall back
into thir dor fourth place, everyone
said. Not until after he had trimmed
the Giants in Cincinnati and again in
that great double header series of six
games in New York did the baseball
: public realize that Cincinnati must be
counted in the fight. Even then the
cautious ones waited before handing
the palm to Patrick.
It was personality that won the Ma
tional League flag and sent the Reds
against the White Sox in mood suf-
ficiently confident n grab off the
worlds title. The Reds worked for
Moran as no team of Reds ever worked
for a Red manager. The ordinary play
er became q scintillating star. He
whipped fair pitching staff into the
beset in baseball. The impossible was
accomplished as part fthe days
work.
Overconfidence never was In evil
dence. In midseason, right on the heels
OF the Giants. not a Red would predict
a pennant. They simply declared that
days game was the principal issue in
mind. And yet each man secretly be-
lleved his team would cop.
They liked Moran. He did not scold
them in sarcastic tongue. His words
was his stock in trade. They respond
ed with superhuman effort. His
magnetism sent them onto the field
determined to exert their supreme ef-
fort.
Pat Moran didn't win the highest
honors of baseball. The playing men,
bers of the Cincinnati team didn't. 1t
was Pat Moran and his boys.
Pat Moran is 43 years old. He was
horn in Fitchburg. Mass. and that lit
lie city Is very proud of him. He was
famous before ever becoming a Red.
but the & reatest fame is now his. His
performances as catcher with the
Braves and Cubs. his successful man
axership at notwithstanding
National League pennant in 1915-are
.insignificant compared with his new
triumph

the case with some readers of the

Restricted pastors" in the original

intended is plain to the writer from
the language used;-that the fact
that "evil mon" were engaged in

"Y" workers who would be better
able to rouse the interest of those
who the "Y" seeks to influence then
our good pastors and brethren. No
slur whatever was intended but the
inability or failure of our pastors in

THE PRESIDENT
GETTlNGBETTER
Appetite Good as Could be en-

Glandular Trouble is Not
Expected

Washington, Oct. 15.-Absenco OF
any new complications in President
Wilson'S illness brought from his
bedside late today, the assurance that
he is getting better. Elimination of
ther ecent annoyance caused by n
slightly enlarged gland has removed
the only outstanding obstacle to his
convalescence.

"Thc president has hnd not;sfoc.
tory day"
The. headache from which he was
suffering early in the day, is was
learned, has disappeared.
With the exception of news furnish
ed by Mrs. Wilson, the president has
learned very little of national and
international developments, although
he is given daily a general summary
of events. He has at times expressed
n desire for more comprehensive re-
ports, and has asked Rear Admiral
Grayson, his personal physician, fol.
news, but always DR.. Grayson hos
succeeded in keeping away informa-
tion that might prove trying to his
nerves. The presidents appetite liz
as good us expected and recurrence
OF the glandular trouble is not anti

covery is looked for and Indications
ofiicinl and otherwise are that the

Shooting Affair At Coaldan.
Coaldan, Va, Oct. IA.
Superintendant Irving Shot.


A very serious shooting affray
at ~ O'Clock, when Mr.. Charley
Elswick's house was attacked by some
unknown foe. The windows were
shattered and bullets covered the
beds where they were sleeping. Mr..
Elswick slipped out the back way and
went to get Mr.. r. C. Irving, Super
intendant of the operation TO come
and see if he could stop the shooting.
When starting to examine window
in the house he was shot in the arm,
shoulder and hand. There were about
10 shots that took effect. Mr.. Irving
is prominent man and of the best
character. His many friends are sorry
of the accident, and hope for his
speedy recovery. Three men were
arrested on suspicion.
Our school is progressing SO nicely
under the care of Miss Roberta Yost,
of Tazewell. Good old Tazewell send
some more of your teachers out to
us like Miss Yost. Miss Smith and
Miss Moss also visited our school
Friday and Miss Moss told some of
her stories in her sweet way, while
Miss Smith went on with her useful
work.

two little girls were the guests of
Mr.. and Mrs. M. H. Lowe Saturday

The Richlands Basket Ball Game
and Something Else.

The Tazewell High school boys and
girls went to Richlands last Friday
to play a match game with Richlands
teams. Tazewell beat 'em, which may
or may not have been partially
accountable for the treatment the
Tazewell visitors received Mt the
hands of some of Richlands young
sters, and some not. so young. There
must be some mistake some where.
But some of the pupils from Taze-
we'll High School, and at least one
of the teachers, say, that never be-
fore in their lives have they had such
insults and indignities offered them.
These complainants are not children
liable to exaggerate or be mistaken.
They all declare that as matters
stand now they will hesitate long
time before risking another trip to
Richlands.
Knowing Richlands rs this writer
knows, and has known the town for
years, he is puzzled to know what
was wrong. An explanation is due,
and perhaps an apology. What saws
Clerk j. B. Crabtree? No doubt the
whole affair can be satisfactorily ex-
planned but not excused.

Tazewell's Y. nj. c. A.

In the last issue of your paper
you published communication from
a person signing his name as "X. Y.n
in which some strange doctrine was
proclaimed. He says the Y. M. C. A.
can be made success in Tazewell
County is the fright, methods are
used. In this connection he suggests
that the ministers Of the gospel, Dig
nified pastors, amen-corner elders
and deacons be eliminated from
leadership, and that there be sub
stituted in their place eyiI-minded
young men of principle, whou Sc
wholesome cuss words and can whip
their weight in wildcats, etc. He pre-
diets that under such new leadership
the Y. M. G. A. can be made whoop-
ing, bowling successin our county.
If "cussing" is a qualification of
leadership, the name of the organi-
zation should be changed by substi-
tuing the word "cussine" for Che
word "Christian," and the organiza-
tion would then be properly desienat-
ed as "Young Mems Cussin Asso-
citation.
Mr.. Editor, I realize that Bolshe-
vism is abroad in the land, but did
not know that exponents of some of
these strange doctrines would be so
bold as to rush into print and under
take to eliminate Christian leaders
from such great organization as
the Young Mems Christian Asso-
ciation and to substitute in their
place evil minded cussrn young men
Of the wild cat order in order to
attract our young men. A serious In
Justice has hpan dnna to Tho " M
G. A. In Tazewell County bv the ar
ticle Of x. Y, which should be re-
pud'ated. otherwise the next move
from this "reformer" would be to
turn the churches into ball rooms,
the. Sunday schools into card parties
and games of chance. in order to
attract the young people of Tazewell
and get them to attend these places
II it takes such methods to attract
vonng people in these days of fast
living, 1t would be much better moi
to attract them at all.
