Visitors at the Conference.

Among the familiar faces attend
ing the Methodist conference in ses-
sion here are those of Rev. fIr. Brad
shaw, Smith and Hurley. These will
be recalled by our people as BILE
ministers and thoroughly wide awake
pastors who were interested not on

in the general welfare of the commu-
nifty at large. AS a rule the Meth
odists have sent a number of thei-
strong men to Wilson and they have
been both an ornament to the church
and the community.

The "meanest trick" ever perpe- trated on the diamond is charged to Joe Cantillon while he was umpiring in the old days of the National league.
 For a long time there had been something akin to a feud between Cam tillor and Dick Cooley, one of the out fielding stars of long ago. Cooley's "baiting" of his arch enemy was quite constant happening, but Cooley al- ways kept just within the law" and so gave Cantillon no chance to expunge him from many pastimes.
 Some day I'll get you" promised the umpire. For a long time Cooley was wary. But nothing happened The suspicion of the umpire became dis armed He decided that Cantillon's threat was but an idle boast
 And then Cooley went to bat one day in a game against the old Chicago White Stockings-and with Cantillon performing the umpire chores. Cooley met one of the horsehide offerings and drove it far into center.
 "As I was dancing toward first I looked toward center and saw the ball apparently clearing the head of Bill Lange, the center fielder" related Coo- ley. T decided right then that the drive was good for three sacks if not the circuit. and I put on full speed ahead, never looking further into cen- ter field"
 Cooley tore around second and as he was racing into third Cantillon, who had run across the diamond puffed up near to him and yelled:
 Touch third, touch third. there. Cooley, or I'll called you out"
 Cooley touched third and then. with cut looking back and utterly ignoring the yells of his coach, sprinted for home. Why not? Hadn't Cantillon. by his insistence upon Cooley touching third tipped Dick that the drive might be good for four bases?
 As Cooley neared home, with Cantil- Ion numbering behind, the umpire yelled:
 Touch home when you slide touch home, l say! And don't you spike that catcher"
 Cooley reasoned that a play was to be made for him at the plate. So when 15 feet from the plate he hurled himself at it and slid safely" home

 How Private J. w. Sanderson of Lime stone county and another member of Company K, whose name he did not re- call captured 31 German prisoners at the battle of Chateau Thierry was told today by c. A.

McElroy stated. He was wounded in the leg during the fighting about St. Mihiel.
 We had gone over the top and taken the first two front line trenches, then we went after the third one," he said. By that time I had gotten over my little scare and was paying but little attention to the machine gun bullets. I fell into shell hole and. my leg having cramped from being in water. I stuck it out be- hind. Zip. something stung me and I thought it was gravel. It didn't hurt a bit. Then my lieutenant called to me and told me to beat it to the trenches. started and about 1000 machine bull lets were going in the same direction but got back without another scratch.

As he picked himself up, puffing, weary but jubilant over his nome run drive" Cantillon pranced over toward him and said in matter of fact way.
 You're out"
 I'm what?" gasped the startled Coo ley.
 "You're out, I said, and you've been out ever since you crossed first base, Lange caught the ball but l thought you needed a little exercise. So l let you run your fool head off
 Cooley never spoke to Cantillon aft erward.
 Cantillon was a splendid umpire, out not much of a diplomat. It used to be said that he was mucn, more disposed to fight it out with any who disagreed with him than he was to placate, But. withaI Cantillon made many warm friends during his umpiring days, and every one was willing to go to battle in his behalf. One of Cantillons pals toward the end of his big league career was Char lie Comiskey, aboss of the White SoX. But it was not ever thus. Once the two were at swords points which led to one of the most amusing incidents in baseball.
 Cantillon, after years of arbitrating service in the National, joined Ban
  ing a certain important series in Chi cago. Cantillon gave several decisions which Comiskey thought were some thing of an injustice to his white-hosed warrors.
 A day or so later Cantillon appeared at the gate and asked the turnstile keeper to pass in two of his friends '1'm sorry, bu. can't do it,' was tiie answer. MT. Comiskey has given strict orders that no one is to be ad- mitted except on written passes But. if you'll wait I'll send a note up to Mir. Comskey and asked him to send down two passes"
 "All right" said Cantillon. A few minutes later a reply came back from Comiskey. The gatekeeper. instead of keeping it to himself, passed 1t along to the umpire, who had many a hearty laugh over it in later years The Comiskey note read: 'If there are two men in Chicago brave enough to pose as Joe Cantillon's friends, pass 'em in, and give 'em box seats"
