Independents, will not begrudge
them the two weeks rest prepare

It should be borne in mind that
the Independents have undergone
almost insurmountable obstacles in

inadequate practice; and then with
only less than half the squad con-

Luck has broken badly for the
Independents in completing one Of
the toughest playing schedules in

markable that the team has with
stood its reverses SO, successfully,
even though there has been scAnt
opportunity to repair damages in
the meantime.

necessity Of importing new
players has also boon some

Chicago, Nov. 16.-Why did they
pick on Kenesaw Mountain Lands,
the Chicago Judge, to be the Moses
Of our baseball?
That's ., whale-sixed question.
But the answer sums itself up like

Those are big words. No higher
tribute was ever paid to any one
individual. Even q president or a
king might well envy the Chicago
jurist such . boQuet expressed in

Applies Horse sense.
His program since 1905 has been
to apply horse sense to human
troubles.
And that's all under the sun that
baseball needs right now.
Spending q noon hour with the
Judge would convince anyone of his
bigness of vision, his interest in
humans, and his love for baseball

limelight upon him by giving him
