A Poet Tn Court.

Now here is a sample of that British fair ness that stern justice, so often quoted and referred to by our refOrmers in America. The other day Mir. Bawl, described on the criminal calendar as a poet, was indicted and found guilty of blackmailing and violently assaulting Sir Nathan Wiggins, the South African millionaire. The clerk of the court asked him the usual question, if he had any thing to say before sentence was passed on him, when the following dialogue took place (taken from the official report) Accused :
 My lord, have nothing to say, except that I wish that had hit him harder and more constantly, and sent him more insulting post cards. 1 most enjoyed pulling his beard till the tears came into his eyes, as the cabman did to Mir. Pooter after the East Acton VOlun- teer ball.
 The Judge (starting eagerly) 'Mr. Pooter slipped and banged his head on the floor on that occasion, believer /
 Accused No, my lord. That was at the Mansion House ball.''
 The Judge with strong emotion) "SO it was So it was The charge is dismissed with caution.L Mir. Bawl! l shall be happy if you will dine with me tonight" Arm in arm the judge and accused went home to- gether. That is what the bond of a common love for Mir. Pooter does for men, winds up, a British commentator

men who will have major league con-
tracts awaiting them along with their
diplomas from college. These are Cap
tain John Nimiec. shortstop and Far

bat; Reilly first base Farley or Polls
ky. second base: Farley or Captain
Niemiec, shortstop; Cannon or Dan
iels, third base: Vignos, Polisky,
Woeber, Aillet and Duerrcnbcrger,
outfielders.
In addition to Farley, the star
moundsman, Coach Meagher has four
other pitchers ready for duty if called

up rs in their first game last Sunday,
with Dwyer at first base, Bill Philips
at second: Whitney at shortstop
Wasserman at third. Huntress in left
field. Moos in center and Straus in
right. Manager Pendelton will call on
Brought. Mathews or Schraub for
mound duty with Griesenbeck or Lei
part catching.
Big Chief Schwab of the Indians
has filled his schedule further with the
addition of the Kennedy Independents.
The Kennedy club promises TO be strong
enough to warrant their being brought
to San Antonio for a series of games
with the Indians and they have been
signed for two games on Sunday,
April Is, two games on Sunday. May
81, and three-game series on Satur-
day and Sunday, July IL and 10.
