BLAME HUTCHINSON
AReITeR OF ALL BASEBALL
RULES MAJOR AND MINOR
LEAGUE TEAMS MUST STAY
OUT OF OTTAWA FROM HENCE
ON.

All major and minor league base
ball teams will be ordered by Com.
missioner of Baseball Lands to black
list the Ottawa Cubs as result Of
the Sox.Ottawa game here last Au.
gust The Ottawa management Is
charged with false representation in
using an outlaw player in games with
an organized baseball team.
The charge is made OH the grounds
that the Ottawa club represented
their pitcher as T. Murin and not Tim
Hutchinson as he really was, an out
law who had jumped several league
contracts. Hutchinson was former
Cleveland American pitcher and it
vas Cleveland contract he had
jumped. The Ottawans held the SoX
that day to a 20 score. Davenport
was on the slab for the men of Glea-
son on the eventful day.
Fans who saw the battle will well
remember that Roth, Ottawa catch
er. who is alleged to have jumped
Western League contract, and Hiene
Wilmeroth, who was claimed to have
barred from the game.
With the stand now taken by Ian
dis the Grand Mogul of Baseball, OF
tawa fans will have to go elsewhere
to witness big league teams in action
as the local club will be placed on
the Blacklist" permanently and all
teams will be refused permission to
play here according to this mornings
Herald-Examiner, which says:

independent teams are not under

said but the rules provide that ma
ior and minor league club may not
play teams that harbor ineligibles or.
that consistently play other teams
using ineligibles.
AN incident of last season was re.
ferred to in connection with a game
between the Chicago White Sox and
a team at Ottawa, ILL.,
That game was secured through
false representations by the Ottawa
team that 1t had no ineligible" ."
Commissioner Landis said "In re.
sronse to request by the White
Sox for its lineup a list of players
was submitted, which was examined
here and found unobjectionable, SO
the White Sox were given permission
tp play. Since the game was played
il has been found that the ottawa
management listed an ineligible play
er under an assumed name.
"The White Sox inquiry concern
ing the Ottawa team was the first
and only connection the commission
er's office had with exhibition games
by that team with any major or min
or league team. OF course the ineli-
gibility Of that team has now been
established through its listing this
Ineligible player under an assumed
name. and hereafter it will be unable
to secure any exhibition games with
professional clubs, whether major or
minor"

DALLAS, Texas, Feb. 16--Further progress toward perfection of the Texas Mexico division of the Bank head highway is expected at the meeting of the Bankheaa Highway assccia ton to be held at Phoenix Ariz,, April 24-19. F. E. Morris president of the Automobile Club of Texas, has received word to this effect from J. A. Rountree of Birm- ingham, Ala, director general of the Bankhead association.

Mack Sennett's latest and greatest multiple reel comedy, Home Talent" st the Empress Theater tonight Those who have viewed this much taIked-of comedy-spectacle agree that it is one of the best productions that has emanated from the Sennett stu dios in many months.
 The episodes in which the genius of -Abbe. as a "still" photographer con- verted to the movies is revealed, re- late to a story of the slave mart of an cdent Rome and in them is shown the ersemble and individual beauty of the Mack Sennett feminine corps of pull .chritude. This part of the picture, it is claimed, will be a revelation to pic ture patrons as well as to picture ex- I,erts, for in lighting and posturing, 90 1t is said, nothing approaching these scenes has been accomplished in che line of revealing, decorous dis closures of feminine beauty.
 Phyllis Haver, appropriately. has the leading feminine role and is SUD- ported, in the beauty contingent, prin' cipalIy by Harriet Hammond, Mildred June and Kathryn Mcclure,
 The principals in the comedy epi- sode are Ben Turpin, Charlie Mur- ray, Eddie Gribbon, James Finlayson and Kalla Pasha. One of the most 'gorgeous" fights ever screened is shown in a Roman setting with Eddie s1ibbon in a legitimately heroic and splendidly sustained characterization.

A successor has never been elected. Mir. Oneal, who was born at Ocracoke, says the worst crime he can recall to have occurred at Ocracoke in 50 years were one of assault and bat tery.
 There are only one or two homes here that have locks on the doors and the keys to those that are thus equipped are never used Most of tn houses at Ocracoke were wholly or partially constructed with lumber of ships which were wrecked on the treacherous shoals off the North Car olina coast. Every family here own their home.
 Ocracoke is at the extreme south ern end of little island by the same name, located about 30 miles off the mainland of North Carolina, and is unique in many respects. Ocracoke Island, which is part of Hyde coun- try, North Carolina, is a little strip of land about ii miles long and rang es in width from one half to one and half miles. The population of the Island numbers about 700, about $50 of whom live at Ocracoke Those who do not live in the little town ore members of the families of coast guardsrnen, who patrol the coast. l As there are no railroads. automo- hiles, street cars or theatres where motion pictures are shown, many of the inhabitants at Ocracoke have never seen any of these things With the execution of the men en- nloyed/ by the United States govern ment as coast guardsmen and the few merchants in the little town. all 0c~a make their living hunt ing and fishing.

a remark about the health of the Czarina,
who was suffering from fatigue and heat,

shaped that will alter the destinies of the
world, and who writes of these things,
when he mentions them at all, with the
casualness of an uninterested one would
almost say an unintelligent, outsider.
other topics of less interest seem to absorb
what enthusiasm the writer can muster.
The weather is in these daily notes of
more supreme moment than great issues Of
state. The names of the persons honored
by dining at the imperial table and the
small table talk they yielded are recorded
with meticulous care; they seem to the
diarist more arresting than critical audi
ences given to statesmen, whose advice,
taken or rejected, will affect the very
foundations of the throne.
1t Is a point of view that reveals the
real man behind the elaborate camouflage
of imperial pomp; kindly, affectionate
man, devoted father, a well meaning but
pathetically ineffective worker essentially
small man, lost In the weller of great
events.
The 1905 volume is particularly eloquent
in this revealing way. 1t was the year Of
the visible birth of new political Russia;
SCATTERING revolution had been narrowly
averted at the cost of granting constitu-
ton. The very basis of Carbon was al
tered in that year Yet in the Cars diary
the references to these problems are COM
paratively rare and nearly always indif
ferent to the verge of futility. Thus the
severe repression OF the Moscow insur-
rection is alluded to in the following terms:
Colonel Min, who was in command of
one of the punitive columns, has just re-
turned from Moscow. He came to dinner.
He showed me a number of rifles seized
during house to house searches. Quite
nice fellow"
This is one of the few occasions on
which Nicholas III utters any judgment at
all, however shallow, on the men with
whom he came in contact For the most
part he Is content to accept them without
comment Of any kind: they are part of the
setting In which his life is staged with
no more claim to careful study than the
inanimate painted boards and canvas of
any stage scenery. Like his father and
his brother, Grand Duke George Alexan-
drovitch, who died early, he is greatly
interested in meteorological observation.
But whareas they carried into this study
