THE STATE PRESS.
Free Publicity Abuse.

The idea OF many well-meaning people to be
that in order to obtain necessary publicity for any
cause propaganda in which they engage all they need
to do is to employ clever space writer preferably
detached newspaper man and turn him loose on the
newspapers This publicity agent is supposed to write
the stuff and the newspapers are expected to do the
rest-publish it-free, Of course.
This plan of publicity has been extensively followed
by the government during the war and the use and
abuse of the has greatly increased during
the past four years Every branch Of the government
has maintained publicity bureau during the war; and
the newspapers have been deluged with all sorts Of
literature The numerous patriotic organizations
throughout the country have also free use the
newspapers and if the latter used half the stuff that
is thrust upon them by mail by hand they would not
have room for anything else.
The point has been reached where the newspapers
must as matter of self defense draw the line against
free publicity matter of all The Herald has been
trying to do this for time yet been as
stern and consistent in turning all such stuff as it
intends to be in the future Our free horse is about
tagged out.-Albany Herald.

Opines.

"Detroit's gone; Cleveland's pitch-
ers are easy for us; Jimmy Burke
has a good ball team, but Is too far
away. and the rest Of the league
doesn't worry us in the least"
The speaker is Kid Gleason. leader
OF the leading White Sox. of Chicago.
"My team is in fine shape now
better than 1t has been all season.
Williams and Cicotte are at their
best" he continued.
Last time we went east I had
seven men in straps, and yet see what
we did. Wen do lots better this
time.
There's nothing to IL now. There's
no chance for us to lose.
IT'S the American league Gag and
then the worlds championship"
There Is nothing to disprove his
assertions. Cleveland tried to beat
Eddie Cicotte, his pitching ace. A
weekday crowd of $1,000 fans rooted
for the Indians. The Indians per-
formed spectacularly In the field. All
the breaks were theirs. Sim Caid-
well pitched q beautiful game for
seven innings. And then-the inevi-
table crash.
You can't hold the White Sox
down. Eddie Cicotte probably is the
coolest boxman in the game today.
The longer he pitches the better he
goes. 1t was his twenty fifth victory
and he seemed to have as rTch speed
in the eighth and ninth innings as
Walter Johnson uses.

Boxing fans on this side of the At

hay following Beckett's bout with
Eddie McGoorty at the Coliseum at

beventeen rounds with the British
champion has furnished American
followers of the fistic game with a
bretty fair line of the ability of
Beckett whose class was a point of
toubt.
Accounts of the battle indicated
That Beckett was McGoorty's master,
but it would appear that he lacks the
bggressiveness and punching power
bf the worlds champion, or he would
have disposed of the veteran Mil

|ioorty is 80 years old and has been
lighting fourteen years. He has not
been active for the past five years.
Beckett is admittedly at the top of
form.

of his famous leaders and failed

ment to National Com
mission,

New York, scp~. 6.--Any attempt by
major baseball league owners to draft
minor league players will be fought In
the courts and by other means. accord
ing to a statement here last night by
David L. Fultz. president OF the New
international league. The statement did
not specify what the "other menns''
were. but declared there Is remedy
available to the minors in addition to
court proceedings which. we believe,
would effectually convince these major
clubs that they had done a very poor
piece of business"
Mr.. Fultz asserted that the major
leagues entered into an agreement with
the minors not to draft their players,
and that August Hermann, president OF
the national commission, confirmed this
agreement. "Mr. Hermann the state
ment said, has gone on record as de-
nying any such agreement was made
yith the minors. but as we have nu-
meroSs unbiased witnesses to whom
Mr. Hermann personally confirmed the
agreement the rpoof is very simple
matter"

TORKELSON DUE
FOR PELICANS
Boone or Suggs will Work
for Crackers. This
Afternoon.
INTEREST is INTENSE
Although Champions Are Now
Practically Out of the
Running.

New Orleans, Sept. 3.-Although
Atlanta practically clinched the 1919
Southern association pennant by the
victory over New Orleans yesterday,
intense interest centered in the
second game of the Atlanta-New Or
leans series today. Either Suggs or
Boone will pitch for Atlanta. with
Torkelson on the mound for New
Orleans, it was announced.
Hub" Perude, veteran hurler of
the league, after maintaining a IL
thrilling pace with Tommy Sheehan
for ten innings, blew up in the
eleventh in yesterdays game, and
with him went several of his team
mates, Atlanta putting seven runs
across. The one run which New Or
leans scored in it's eleventh was al
most a gift.
The locals had Sheehan in hot
water several times during the game,
but the big right handler always
frightened up and, favored by support
which at times was brilliant, pulled
through.
Atlanta was the first to score, sue
cessive singles by Kopp. Damrau and
Herndon showing q run across in the
third. In the last half of the fifth,
the locals tied the score on ReZZa's
single. Perdues sacrifice bunt, Dam
iels' infield hit and Knaupp's single.
Outside of those two innings, Shee-
han and Perdue pitched mastery ball
until the tenth. Perdue had settled
down after Atlanta's sixth and re-
tired the enemy in order through the
next four innings, pitching sterling
ball.
Sheehan Wins Own Game.
Griffin opened Atlanta's eleventh
with a two-bagger against the right
field fence. Galloway hit to Perdue,
who threw to third too late to catch
Griffin, and both We're safe. Dykes
was purposely passed to get at Hig-
gins, filling the bases. Higgins
grounded to knapp and Griffin was
forced at the plate. With the bases
full, Sheehan arose to the occasion
and put the game on ice by hanging
a clean single to center, scoring CAL
loway and Dykes. A single by Kopp,
a base on ball, Mayors double. two
passed balls, an error by Shortstop
Daubert and Galloway's single
brought in five more runs.
Buddy" Rezza, first baseman of
the Pelicans, was chased out of the
game in the sixth when he disputed
Umpire Johnson's decision on balls
and strikes. Johnson also chased
Red" Torkelson off the coaching
lines for ringing a cowbell, and as
result several of the. spectators
heaved pop bottles. johnson was
escorted from the field by policemen,
with an angry mob following him.
Feeling in the game was intense.
Perdue and Griffin almost coming to
blows on the field, while in the
eleventh Sheehan slid into Perdue at
the plate, badly spiking him, and
Perdue was about to start trouble
when other players stepped in. Per-
dues right ankle and heel were badly
cut.
