EARLHAM Nine IS
GIVEN TRAINING
BY CHAS. BERRY

Since the postponing of the Miami
game, and Butler track meet last
week, Coach Move of Earlham col
lege has secured Charles Berry catch
er for the Kansas City A. A. Club, to
give the Quaker nine workout while
getting himself in trim for baseball
this summer with the Richmond
Northern Central League club.
Berry Is teaching the team some
tricks of the game that will stand
them instead during the windup of
the season With the aid of Berry,
the nine ought to present more
formidable appearance when it lines
up again. Stiff workouts have been
on both the track and baseball teams
card.
The baseball season at Earlham
college has been anything but sue
cessful this year. Only two games
have been played thus far. Twice a
game with Miami university baseball
team had to be postponed on account
of inclement weather. The track
meet to have been held with Butler
college last Saturday was cancelled
by the Christians. Besides the fact
that weather conditions have thus far
been against the building of sub
stan nine this year, owing to the lack
of place to work in doors, the team
has shown itself to be materially
weak in certain places that prove its
Waterloo in every game.
Pitching Weakest Point
Pitching has been the Quakers'
weakest point so far this season. but
in the last week Coach Move and the
Earlham hurlers have been daily
working to overcome this defect, and
now with hearty support in the field.
the Earlham baseball team stands a
chance to put in some good work.
For the most part the Earlham team
has been weak in fielding and batting,
but general workouts along these
lines during the last two weeks have
done much to eliminate these weak,
nesses.
Track classics at Earlham do not
look SO doubtful and discouraging as
baseball. Since the defeat of the
strong Cincinnati university track
team at Reid field the last Saturday
in April, the Earlham track followers
are in good spirits and are confident
of success even though the other col
leges of the l. C. A. L. have been put
ting up some exceptionally good work
in that line On May 10, Earlham
college track team will get chance
to stack up against one of the strong.
est track teams in the I. c. A. L.
when it meets Franklin college and
enters l. c. A. L. meet May II.
The return of Earlham's crack
miller, Edwards has frightened the
track prospects considerably. Ed
wards has frightened the track pros
poets considerably. Edwards has
been i'll for some time and has just
been able to report for work on the
track He expects to compete in the
two final track meets.

COLLEGE PLANS
ENTERT AINMENT
OF TRACK men
Entertainment to be Proyid-
ed State Athletes Who Com
pete Here May "a.

Arrangements for the successful
staging Of the state high school track
and field meet Saturday. May "a. are
rapidly nearing completion, according
to Earlham officials Tuesday
Tickets have been placed on sale
and the majority of the Eariham stu
dents have pledged themselves to at
tend the meet. Preparations are being
made to entertain one of the largest
crowds that ever witnessed q state
classic at Earlham college. Indications
are that all the schools entering will
bring large contingents of followers
to root for their teams.
Reid field and track is being put in
shape for the event. Each day the
track is being worked over and many
improvements made to insure a fast
cinder path. Besides various improve
ments on the track and field, extra
bleachers will be built to take care Of
the surplus crowd.
May Program Planned.
Glen p. Thistlethwaite has been Sc
cured by Coach Ray B. Move of Earl
ham. to act as starter and referee.
Thistlethwaite was formerly director
OF athletics at Earlham and is now
Coach at Oak Park high school, Oak
Park, Ill. He is q member Of the
Amateur Athletic association.
Every feasible plan to make the
track classic q success will be on the
Quaker college schedule for both par.
Elephants and rooters. Tentative plans
have ben made to stage general fete
on the college campus after the meet
Is over. A May day program will
be given. That evening a minstrel
will be given at the Chase open air
stage back of Lindley hall. Bundy
hall will be turned over for the use
of the competing athletes and meals
will be served in Earlham hall
Committees appointec earlier are
working out the plans Of the meet
and will be ready for final reports
soon. Tickets probably will be placed
down town for Richmond people to
obtain, while high school students will
be able to secure them at school.
Coach Movie has been practicing his
track team for the coming state clas-
sic and has almost rounded out the
team. Some changes in the person.
Ell of the teams may be made but pres
ent indications are that it viii not be
likely unless those who are showing
promise get out and put up stronger
competition. Several athletes show
UP exceptionally well but are ineligible
on account of grades.

tinued until Butler had whipped
seven of his adversaries, one of
whom he knocked out with the
first blow and as he fell to
the ground, caught him and bit
off both of his eyebrows. The
last of the seven was reputed
to be a very handsome fellow,
so much so, that he was usually
called, as a Christian name "Pret-
ty jim" When Pretty Jim"
entered the lists, he was quickly
done for and fell limp upon the
ground, but. Butler did not strike
him in the face, but, turned
him upon his face, and proceed
ed to bite pieces of flesh from
his back and to spit them upon
the ground. While this manner
of punishment was proceeding,

disastrous consequences from the

the gathering made a public an
nouncement to the effect that
Butler had returned to face his
enemies, and was willing and
ready to fight as many of them,
as might desire to try conclu-
sions with him, and the only con-
dition to be imposed was that
only one should fight him. at a
time. This challenge, of course,
could not be refused or declined,
and, at once, Butler and one of
adversaries stripped for a battle.
The stripping for fight, as it
was then practiced, meant that
the combatants removed their
shoes or moccasins, and all OF
their wearing apparel, except
the pantaloons. to make assur-
anee doubly sure, that the fight
ing should be fairly done, and
that no foul play should be In

Every child has a right to
such an education as will qualify
for him life's duties. This is re.
cognized as a patriotic duty by
the State. The prominence Of
our institutions depends on the
intelligence of our citizenship.
"The bayonets of foreign
soldiers are less to be feared
than are the ballot of ignorant
voters" The welfare of the
State depends more on the
moral and religious training of
her citizens than on their intel
lectual training, yet the State
makes no provision for this NOR
al dicipline. In some cases it
makes it difficult or even i'm
possible to secure such training.
The training of the mind is not
all. There must be training of
the moral sensibiiites, partic-
ularly the will. Not all this il
the duty of the public school;
part is the duty of the church,
but the largest part is the funct-
ion of the home. Every child de-
prived, by what ever means, OF
the education and training is
defrauded out of an inalienable
right, and when he comes into
the inheritance Of citizenship,
may be depended upon to ayenge
himself on the society that per.
petuated the fraud upon him.

directed him to remain quietly

.deccG1ing oppressed with the
I4anekness of the wilderness and
frightened by the discordant
oEoices of the night, began to call
for his father. Butler heard
the calling and went toward the
u(ace. where he had left bis son,

Butler believe that Indians had

WITH AN ENTIRE FAMILY.


self in a personal encounter
(which Capt. John Butler pos
sessed. By nature, very strong
and agile, the life, in the woods.
which he had lead, made his
muscles as hard as though of
steel. Furthermore, his judg-
ment was never at fault, about
the thing to do, in order to best
his adversary, and this is the
thing, which makes a successful
fisti.cuffer as well as a great
general. In those old days,
when courts sat at great dis
tances from communities, and
their power to regulate the az
fairs of men were feeble, the
strong fist and the good right
arm of a just man was often the
protection which the feeble and
weak in a community, had
against wrongs of overhead ing
and tyraneous men. Though
Buffers powers of pugiTism
were great, it is to his great
credit, that there is neither rec
ord nor tradition of his having
ever used them in either an over
bearing or tyrraneous manner.
Neither is there record or tradi-
ton of his having ever declined
the wager of battle with any,
one. who sought a contest with
him. He was willing to meet
and try conclusions with any
and all. who sought such charac-
ter of satisfaction. The result
was, that oftentimes, as was
the custom of that day, men.
who either had or thought they
had great fistic abilities, sought
out Butler and challenged him
to fstic encounters, and he new
er declined one, and the tradi-
ton is that he never came out
second best in such an argument.
One instance of his fighting abil.
ity, which tradition has pre-
served. is most remarkable. 1t
seems, that there was a feud be-
tween Butler and a family, the
members of which very numer-
GUS, and which, at that time, re-
sided in the northern end of the
county. The cause of the ami
mostly has not been preserved.
Upon an occasion, there was
some character of a social gath
ering in the community, at
which the members of this fam
lily and their friends were pres
ent. Butler. also, came to the
function, but. it being at some
distance from his neighborhood,
there were, at the first. none of
his friends, in attendance. The
members of the family, which
were antagonistic to Butler and
their friends, Immediately set
about the bringing on of a per-
sopal trouble with him. He,
recognizing the fact, that he
was alone, with no one present,
who would insure him a fair
deal, and that he had no chance
against the odds, withdrew and
left the place, followed by the
jeers of his enemies. Within a
short distance. however. he met
Major Nathan Montgomery and
Alexander Miller, who were old
and tried friends, and who were
on their way to the function. Up.
