Bill KLEIN Is Helpless
Against the ''Sasser''

Special Dispatch to THE NEW YORK HEaALp
@ AN ANTONIA. Tex. March 25.--
- Bill Klein. the stentorian Ma
tional League umpire, got the
retort courteous and cutting re-
Gently, but was helpless against
the sasser. Bill found something like
his match In the person of waiter
at the Menger. who wiggles a mean
tongue.
Klein sent back his coffee for a
second time. 1t wasn't hot. That
coffee is as hot as 1t can be-" said
the waiter after the second trip, and
Bill, finding 1t not exactly to his Tx
ings, declared, You must be quite q
CON merchant around here with
that line Of talk"
The waiter eyed him for while
with a smile and replied. We'll, Mr..
Klein, ! have been following your
work in the National League for
many years. and j believe that you
are something OF an expert yourself
In that line
Klein sat with mouth agape. What
did that bird say?" he asked. On
getting a repetition of the retort,
KLEIN laughed. We'll. that was .
good one" But he wouldn't admit
that the waiter was right.

NORWALK GUNNERS
TIE WITH N. Y. A. G.
Two Hundred Trap Shooters
Compete in Interclub Event
at Travers Island.

The trapshooters or the New YORK
Athletic Club and the Norwalk Gun
Club tied for the first prize in the sec
ond interclub shoot OF the season over
the traps Of the Mercury Foot organ
ization at Travers Island yesterday.
Both clubs had a grand total of 40
out OF a possible 900 targets.
Each team was made up of five men.
On account OF the lie the club decided
to give each one of the ten men a prize.
In addition there were high prizes for
the visiting gunners. The first was
taken by Paul Won Boeckman with n
card OF "a. Then came II. VOORHEES, with
card of 93. Both shot for the Bergen
Beach Gun Club
In the shoot for the club prizes the
high scratch prize was won by w A.
Finn with a card of 81 out of pos
sble 100 targets. The high handicap
cup went to DR.. Z. c. Taylor. who was
the only gunner to have a full card OF
100 targets. Although Ii was the final
Saturday OF the month there was no
attempt made to shoot off the Haslin
and the monthly cups. These events,
which are monthly fixtures, will be shot
off next Saturday.
The conditions of the interclub shoot
were peculiar. The New York Athletic
Club nominated q team of five men.
These competed against the various
other clubs, who could enter as many
gunners as they pleased. although only
the five high scores counted. In the
aggregate almost 800 gunners, represent
Ing some twenty clubs, took part in the
shoot.
Regardless OF the record field, the
arrangements were so good at Travers
Island that the shoot did not last four
hours. 1t was one of the fastest events
ever staged and brought great credit to
the club. The scores:

PENSIONS FOR IDIOTS
CUT OFF IN STATE
(By Associated Press)

] Frankfort. KY, April 1-Ap-
proximately 1900 pauper idiots
throughout the state will either
become county charges or charg-
es of relatives of various degrees
on June 80, as result of failure
of the House of Representatives
to pass the bill calling for renewal
of funds necessary for their sup
port. The Senate passed the bill
but in the hurly burly of the clos
ing days of the General Assembly,
the House failed to bring UP the
measure.
Kentucky, for a quarter OF 4
century or more. has been unable
to house all OF its feebleminded
and idiots in state institutions.
The present feeble minded insti-
tute is crowded to capacity with
almost five hundred inmates As
a result of the inability to house
idiots in institutions the state hae
maintained pension SYSTEM
whereby each idiot has received
for maintenance SIS year or a
total of approximately $4,000 a
year.
For the past four years it has
been planned to build an institu
ton large enough to house all Of
pension list and thus cut off the
payment of funds into the hands
Of third persons to be spent 70
their upkeep. The General As
sembly, however, has failed t
provide such an institution an
this year the states finances wer
such that no bill for an institu
ton was introduced. The pensio
bill was put before the legislator
however. but after passing tn
Senate by an unanimous vote
failed to be brought out of tn.
House Rules Committee.
The state after June 80, it wa
said at the Capitol today. wi
have to stop payment Of the usua
funds to idiots because there
no authority in law for the pay
ments. This will cause tie coun
ties to have to care for thos
whose families and friends wi,
not take of them and it is prob;
bic. it was said. that many Wi
have to go into poor houses al
