Good WOrkmen

When l am sick, in punk condi-
ton, when l am lame and blind
and halt, l hire the city's best
physician, then if l die it's not
my fault. The big physicians
charge like thunder, they charge
each time they draw breath.
but they give value for the plum
der; they show us how to side
step death. When my autos in a
panic, with many doodads break
ing loose, | hire the very best me-
chanic that our small village can
produce. He has no conscience
when he charges, or so, odsfsh,
sometimes think, but he can fix
our boats and barges when they
are strictly on the blink. Some
other gents might do it cheaper.
but when we count the final cost.
we find expenses running deeper:
the tinhorn workman is a frost.
The tinhorn workman badly bot
ches all things entrusted to his
care; he spoils our pants and hats
and watches, and bungles when he
cuts our hair. When l decide to
paint my stable, I'd hire Titan
at his best, some grand old mas
ter, am>ly able to make all rivals
seem a jest. I patronize the
ablest baker that in this country
hamlet dwells, and when die
my undertaken must be the one
who's wearing bells.-Walt Mas

No Modification Of
System in Leagues,
Word Of Commission

Cincinnati, O., April l4.-ln "a
statement issued by the national
base ball commission here today,
the supreme court of base ball an
hounces. that the decision of Judge
Stafford at Washington in the suit
Of the Baltimore Federal league
club necessitates no modification of
the system of the organization un-
der which national base ball is op-
Grating and advises all clubs and
players that business will proceed
as usual, and that all legal con-
tracts must be lived up to by the
parties to them.
The statement says:
THE decision made by Justice
Stafford that organized base ball
violated prohibitions of the Sher-
man act, was not rendered in suit
BY the United States to dissolve
the combination. The decision,
therefore, necessitates no modifica-
ton Of the system under which or
ganized baseball is operating. Great
Investments depend upon its contin-
uance. The government OF the
United States has not challenged it.
On the contrary, when the atten-
ton of the Department of Justice
was called to the system and its
operation, the department decided
no reason was perceived for govern
mental interference.
"All clubs and players are accord
.rr,1,y .dy;red that hucineeS will pro-
coed as usual, and that all legal con-
tracts must be lived up to by the

in real contest for several years,

AS a method of defense, Johannes
says it is the greatest in the world.
Better than all the boxing, wrest-

but having >once mastered it, you
need fear no attacks by thugs or
cops or anything else. You can
easily master five or six of them.
Give him sufficient time for a
course of training and Johannes
says he will show Omaha wrestling
fans how good China is, by throw
ing both the local favorites, Stecher
and Pesek, inside time limit of 20
minutes. China rules. More than
that, he says he can do it easily. He
has beaten number of crack heavy
weight wrestlers just as hs has said
he would, and wound up with trim

superior to the Jap's art.
