If We fail to tighten the black spots

people living near Benton Station,

parties had been organized in an
endeavor to try to catch whatever
it was doing the devilr eft, but
to no avail. Mol(a', while out
hunting, Cecil, Harry, John and
Goldie Cassada discovered strange
tracks of some animal, and think
ing it might be the long looked
for Wampus, they followed it to
where a COW had either died or
been killed by the animal. The
COW was partly eaten, and the
tracks of the animal led in the di-
iection of Ocoee river. The boys
called their dogs and followed it
to where it entered cave in the
river bluff. When the boys and
dogs arrived at the hole the dogs
became very Mu h excited and
hesitated about going i'll the hole.
Finnaly one of the boys got pole
and dug into the hole and succeed
ed i'll rousting out Mr.. Wampus. |
As soon as he make his appear
ance the dogs made for him, and |
to the boys, there was
one of the biggest battles that ever
took place i'll this section. The
dogs, with the kelp of the boys,
Inally succeeded in overpoweriug
Ele animal and took him home
where they Gagged him. -....---.
Several from Benton have gone
over to Mr.. Cassada's to see the

hat if it isn't d sure enough VAN

That IS matter that will be set

merits or dement's of the bill is
without the province of a news

no merit, if so, it will fail. It
may be that it was filed, as charg-
ID by some, on account of poll

the members of the Court for fail

it hurts not only the individuals,

predicted that 1910 would find some
body else filling the shoes of the great
Zim ut third base for the Giants.
New York scrihcs led the gang who
expcrtly pointed out that the great
one was on The skids; that his legs
were growing stiff and his throwing
arm turning to glass. Then they start
ed picking out n soft spot for Heinie
to light. Some chose first base for him,
and the ones who were less hopeful
relegatcd him to right field, just as
though John McGraw would think for
half second of displacing n crack
young player like Ross Young.
Heinie kept his pace through all
the long winter Of 101S-10. alternating
In the Bronx and saying nothing. But
when the time rolled around for con-
tracts to be signed Zim visited the
offices Of the Giants, accepted terms
without a whimper, and calmly told
McGraw that II he had ordered new
third baseman he'd better cancel the
order.
When the Giants entrained for
Gainesville to start spring training
the veteran Zim was very much In evil
dence. He got into uniform and
started saving wood In his own way,
taking his time and working hard to
get into shape. Eight hours work
day In Jersey shipyard during part
Of the winter had not done thinner
man any noticeable harm. but like
most Of the veterans, Zim rounds into
shape slowly, and, like most athletes
Of an aggressive nature who have
touch or two of temperament, Zim
didn't give tinker's rap what any
body thought about II. 'Lettem try

way Zim looked ut II.

HOT AFTER PETTY GAMBLERS
New York American League Club
Making Usual Drive Against Bet
ting at Polo Grounds.

Officials Of the New York American
league club are making their usual
drive against the petty gamblers who
infest the main grandstand back of
third base and the list of gamblers who
find 1t impossible to get into the Polo
grounds when the Yankees are playing
Is growing as a result, says Il New
York Evening Sun critic. Since the
activity against these bettors was
started by Yankee officials many gam
blers have been led to the gate, given
a refund on their admission and told
to keep out. Some have attempted TO
return, but find themselves barred and
must do their small fry wagering over
the ticker tape, If at all, when the
Yanks are home.
Basebalps hold on the American pub
lie is due in the most part to the in
tegrity of the players and the fact that
the finger of suspicion canot be point
ed at the result Of the games. For
this reason 1t always has been the aim
or those identified with the sport to
drive out the gambling element. The
game is better off without persons of
this ilk, and the owners Of the Yankees
are to be commended on their stand.
These gamblers make themselves OBJ
nOxiOus and Objectionable not only to
the club management but to the other
fans who put home loyalty above a
paltry dollar or two.

Squelches Cincinnati Players on
Bench When They Question Some
of His Decisions.

Those who set out to kid Hank
ODay take upon themselves mans
job, for the veteran umpire always
retains firm grasp on his goat
and usually Is able to silence his
critics with few well-chosen words.
At one stage of recent game ut the
Polo grounds the players on the Gin
clnnati bench began to cast aspersions
on Hanks judgment OF strikes and
balls, but they We're stopped short.
Holding up the game for an instant,
O'Day turned to the Reds dugOut and
said, with just tinge of sarcasm In
his voice: "If you guys can call 'em
any better than l can come out here
and try 1t. 1t seems to me that II
your eyesight was as good as you seem
to think, you'd be in the game with
the regular players instead of sitting
on the bench"
Whereat silence hung like q pail

Carmen Hill, bespectacled hurler of

men promises to be one Of the best
young right-handers In the National

chief is nursing him with infinite care
In the hope he will be able to take his
regular turn on the mound later In the

have worn them since boyhood, having
weak eyes, but neither has ever been
