Bit of Repartee.

At the close of the recent second in
vasion of the east by the western clubs
of the American league, the Chicago
White Sox stopped off at Auburn, N.
Y, to play an exhibition game with
Toronto of the International league.
One of the big state penitentiaries of
New York is located at Auburn. Ma
turally, it is one of the points of in
terest through which distinguished
guests are escorted. The White Sox
come under that class.
Now, it seems, several years ago Um-
pire Bill Dinneen of the American
league staff donated his services for
the big game of the year between the
prison team, known as the inside club,
and a team of picked professionals,
known as the outside club.
In that game a choice bit of repartee
was fired att Bill by one of the pris-
oners. ut is now one of the prison
classics and is always related to guests
OF course, the Chicago club got an ear
full.

"a lot of US boys are in here for
pulling less than that :"
That Third Strike.
Bal. players, major or minor, anna
teur or semi-pro, dislike to be called
out on the third strike. ~
One strike means nothing to most
players. And while the situation grows
serious with the calling of strike two,
the objections are very limited.
But calling the same style pitch
strike three will invariably get a rise
out of the batsman. Every player
wants to have his swing at the third
one.
1t is more or less an unwritten law
Of baseball that. with two strikes on
the batsman, he shouldn't court danger
by letting anything that looks good go
by, thus giving the umpire a chance
to call him out on strikes.
Most batsmen adhere to precedent,
and naturally raise the claim that if
the ball was good they would have
certainly swung at it. The pitcher is
seldom given credit for having out
guessed them.
At such times peppery conversation
usually passes between batsman and
umpire.

The latter part Of the swim was ac-

there was a slight rain. The scene
as Miss Ederle finished the last few

Dykes Loses out.


In this connection, 1 recall an Incl
dent of few weeks ago in Philadel-
phia in which Infielder Jimmy Dykes
and Umpire Hildebrand played the
leading roles.
Early in the game, Dykes, after hav-
ing made remarkable stop of a bat
ted ball. shot a terribly wild throw to
first base.
The following inning Hildebrand
called strike on Dykes that Jimmy
regarded as too low.
"a rotten strike!" shouted Dykes, as
he stepped out of the box and contin-
ued to grumble
I noticed that Dykes Immediately re-
sumed his place in the batters box and
made no further comment. When he
came down to third I inquired the ma
ture of the dialogue that had passed
between the two. Dykes repeated it,
admitting defeat.
What else could do? He had me

The Blues only tally came in the
first inning, when Lindsay got three
bagger and came in on Johnson's wild
pitch.
The Veterans got both their runs in
the third. one as the result of Showers
double, Cohen's sacrifice and Shannons
single, and the other on O'ConnelPs
double, scoring Shannon.
Johnson, Veteran twirler, was going
good, and his performance in the box
coupled with some questionable deci-
sions at the plate, held the hard fight
ing Blues in check.
In the last half of the ninth, with
none out, man on first and another
on third, it looked like cinch for the
Blues to tie the score, but Hal Chase
hit into double play and was called
out at first on hair-line decision.
Cowboy Ruiz pitched six innings OF
beautiful ball, but his arm finally went
bad and he asked to be relieved. Gomez
took the mound and allowed but one
hit in the remaining three innings.
By no means least of the fans treats
was the spectacle of Jimmy O'Connell,
the $4,000 Beauty" striking out on
some of the Cowboys fast ones.
The game Friday more than fulfill
ed the expectations of local fans, who
expected to see great things from the
strengthened Blues. The boys played
big league ball and the splendid sup
port of the fans did much to keep up
their morale. The two remaining
games of the series with the league
leading Veterans will undoubtedly pro-
vide some of the classiest baseball ever
seen in the Copper league.
Arguijo, former s;ar twirler for the
Juarez Indians, who joined the Blues
Friday, wilt face Lefty Williams in the
second game of the series today.
Arzate, Gonzales and Minjares, three
other Juarez stars acquired by the

first start with the local club.

New York, Feb. 12 P'-As New York, in common with the rest of the nation, today paid homage to Abraham Lincoln. Il little elderly man at the hotel AnSonia recalled personal. memories Of th" painstak- ing manner in which Lincoln wrote the emancipation proclamation.
 He was David Homer Bates, man. uger Of Inc war department telc- graph office in Washington whore in the summer of 1862 Lincoln came 10 near the latest war news and 10 write the historic document.
 AIr. Bates is the sole survivor of the group of operators who worked in that room.
 Lincoln, he said last night, would Grop into the office from the White House each morning and after oX- changing banter with the operators. would asl; for the latest news from Grant"
 Then he would sent himself at desk. take out the uncomplctcd draft of thp proclamation and begin work. I'll" didn't write mrch at q time, :" .-ai1 Mr, Bates. but what he did write was beautifully done with no intrrlincu.ions or crasuros. That's he way the emancipation proclama- ton grew, q little at a time. with q new paragraph every day or tWo,'
 The spiders. which made their homes in the corners, held the pres i1rnts attention daily, Mir. Bates %aid Each day he would watch tu"m count the new webs and ob- t"lNo their movements, In the midst of his writings, he would lean over and carefully watch them.
