LEFTHANDERS HOLD THE KEY Southpaws Responsible for Close Race In National League and Will Sattle chnmplnnuMp. Left handed pitchers are playing an important part in the present keen struggle for the leadership of the Na- tional league. They will do much to- ward settling the champlionship before the schedule runs out, October 13.| This {8 a prediction made by Johnny | Kling of Boston. ' Up to date they have caused sud- den changes in the standing of the first five clubs. Marquard and Wiltse are greatly responsible for McGraw’s club being where it is. Sallee of St. “Lefty” Leifield. Louls has done more for the Cardinals | than any hurler on Bresnahan's staff, ‘while “Lefty” Leifield has been called | into action when defeat meant drop- ping a notch lower in the race and held Pittsburgh above water. Bill Burns has helped Philadelphia | 'considerably, but not as much as he | could 1f he would exert himself a lit- | tle more. ' Rucker has set the league record | this season for the largest number of ivictorles, and Is one twirler who has kept Brooklyn from occupying last place. Boston has two left-handers, bnd they are doing first-class work, considering the team they are with. They are Mattern and McTigue. Kling | predicts that McTigue will be the lead- ing southpaw in the National league | next season, as he thinks the youngs- ter has as much speed and “stuff” as Rube Waddell ever had. Eastern League Umplires. Only three cf the eight umpires who | began the season in the Eastern league are left. They are Wright, Murray and Hart.. Black, Bannon, | Rudderhom, Pender and Pollack have | all gone their way and have been re- placed by Halligan, Keenan, Kelly, Doyle and Killin. e A A A A A A A A A A A PP P P |lead in the ' SPORTS OF THE DAY PRV OOPOROROOOO® @ Tuesday’s Baseball Results, ¢ O O RO CROR R CR RO R RO Columbus, Aug. 22.—St. Paul kept Columbus from reaching first place by halving a double header.

Since his assignment to a regular out- fleld position by Manager McGraw, he- has rarely failed to make good with the stick, Crack Glant Outfielder, Snodgrass attracted the attention ot Manager McGraw, and on June 21, 1908, he became connected with the New York Nationals. As a catcher he got little chance, but since last fall he has been tackling an outfield Job with great success.

MANAGERS WHO ARE LIONIZED Chance, McGraw, Jennings and Mack ‘Have Been Particularly Fortu- nate In Getting Winners. S Managers of losing baseball teams are not to be envied. They are held responsible for failures and are sub- Jected to an endlees amount of severe criticlsm, some of it warranted and the rest of it uncalled for. Because they cannot make inferfor players show championship caliber and be- cause they have no desirable timber Manager Frank Chance. with which to make strengthening deals they become targets for abuse from impatient fans and heartless critios. Nobody seems to realize that it requires time to bufld up a win- ning ball club, and for that reason an unsuccessful team handler is a phe- nomenon if he can survive the fusil- lade of adverse comment that inevi- tably comes his way. John McGraw, Frank Chance, Hugh Jennings and Connie Mack do not know the meaning of the word abuse. They have been fortunate emough to have winning teams ever since they became major league managers. If they make deals for players. that do not pan out fans and critics readily gloss over the mistakes and make plausible excuses that perpetuate a feeling of confidence. If their teams lose a string of games the slump is at- | tributed to hard luck, the umpires or dumb ball playing by the men who take orders from the bench. These managers are llonized year in and year out and are entitled to live in continual peace because of the results they produce. It is a truth that oan- not be denied that Mack, McGraw, Jennings and Chance possess sterling managerial - ability that other team leaders are unable to boast of, and that their winning teams are devel- oped by real skill and sound judgment. But it 18 also true that these success- ful managers have been extremely lucky in getting what are known as “the best of the breaks,” the equiva- lent of a’constant smile from old Dame Fortune. UMPIRE CHASES HALF TEAM “Old Hickory” Steve Kane, Formerly With American Assoclation, Gets Into Deep Trouble. “O1d Hickory” Steve Kane, formerly American assoclation umpire; poked his official head into a fine young trouble noose out at Tacoma the other day. Stevedore, it will be remem- bered, took to the quiet woods of the Northwest league after President Tom Lynch, of the National league, had tied a can on the unfortunate arbi- trator because he was a trifile under- slzed. Since taking up his duties in the west Kane has been swinging his official ax with precision whenever a player turns a trick, and the other day the stubby arbitrator broke up & game, largely to show his authority. The Tacoma and Victoria clubs opened a game, and everything was 8olng nicely until the second inning, when some one on the Victoria bench pushed forth an uncomplimentary re- mark to the stylish Mr. Kane. Whirl- ing suddenly on his heel, Steve point- ed to the bench and howled: “Clear out of the fleld, every ome of you.” Manager Householder, of the Vie- toria club, protested, and then came Bteve's really authoritative act. He pulled out his watch (solid gold) and informed Householder that he would give him exactly three minutes’ time in which to can every man off the bench and out of the enclosure. Householder continued to argue and the fans continued to howl, but just at the end of the third minute Kane shouted, “Game forfeited to Tacoma, score 9 to 0,” and with these words he ducked for a street car. The Vic- toria players are still howling, but Steve is going right along umpiring every day.” Joe Tinker has turned into a cam- era flend. Meanwhile’ ,Mttshurrl little team in coming along.

TWO TEETH KICKED ~ FROM BEMIDJI BOY (Continued from first page). teeth were kicked out by Scott for no reason at all. As we marched out af- ter breakfast, Mrs. Scott smiled at me as I passed a window where she was sitting inside. The window was down and I did:not hear her say any- thing, and certainly said nothing to her. I might have smiled, but if I did it was involuntary as I did not feel like smiling. - “About 15 minutes later Scott came down to the basement where I was sitting on a bench and, coming up to me, called me a s— of a b— and a bastard repeatedly and finally he knocked me off the bench. I got up and he knocked me down again, ap- 2lying every epithet and vile name I 1ave ever heard to me, and saying, you will insult my wite, will you,’ he iticked me in;the face with his heavy shoes, knocking one tooth out entire- 'y and. breaking the other one off short as you see it. Threatened to Get a Grn. “Then he made me sit up on the :ench again; and when I -did he :ursed me some more and knocked me lown again. I was too sick from the seating the .night before and the slows he gave me to put my hands up ‘0 protect my face when he kicked my teeth out. I felt as though it did 10t matter if he finished the job and «illed me. “Scott then threatened to gev a fun and blow my brains out and said . e had a notion to ge a baseball bat ind beat my head off. Continuing his narrative, aid: Tobacco Thefts Even Deal. “1 was in the engine room with Jngineer Tripp and he was pretty vhite, often refusing ‘to permit the ficers from abusing the boys with im, and he talked straight to them. Ve were not allowed to go in near he lockers. One time when I was n there I took about half of the ‘hewing tobacco from Tripp’s pants vhich were hanging in a locker. Peterson came through while 1 was standing there, but said nothing, al- though he knew I was doing some- thing I had ‘no business doing. Later Peterson told Tripp that a boy named Ferdean stole his tobacco. Tripp was nraged and gave Ferdean a severe “eating. Peterson knew this was wrong and that I was the guilty par- ty. However, I.got blamed for tak- ng a pipe that Ferdean had stolen ‘ater, €0 we were about even. “It @id no good to tell of .any mis- reatment to Whittier..

Not the Answer He Expected. One of Lord Desborough's best anec- dotes relates to a clergyman who was far more at home in the hunting field than in the pulpit, says”London Tit- Bits. On the morning of a meet he was much annoyed at having to offi- clate at a funeral; but, this over. he mounted his horse and started in pur- suit of his friends. On the road he sought Information of an old woman with & donkey cart. “Well,” she said, “if you ride to the top of the hill you will come to a ‘meenister.’” Then if you turn to the right you will be likely to come up with them." Handing her a shilling, he said, “My good woman, why did you call the sign post a minister?" “Why, you see, sir, it's like this: We used to call ‘em sign posts, but since you've been in these parts we calls ‘em meenisters, 'cos, though they points other folks the way, they never goes themselves.

Choate Wa#” Better Posted on Them Than the Author Himself. -Many years ago James T.'Fields, the publisher, was making a collection of the writings of De Quincey. The es- says were widely scattered in various periodicals and were often hard to identify.. Mr. ' Fields: knew Rufus Choate as a devoted student of De Quincey and wrote him one day ask- ing his opinion as to a certain article. Was 1t by De Quincey or not? Mr. Choate replied that it certainly was. There could be no mistaking the Mr. Choate recelved through Mr. Fields a letter from De Quincey deny- Ing. absolutely and somewhat indig: nantly the authorship of the article. But Choate was not of the stuff to yleld his opinion for a trifle like.that. He wrote to Mr. Fields: “I still belleve that De Quincey wrote the essay, De Quincey to the contrary notwithstanding.” Doubtless Mr. Fields read the note with a smiling comment, “That's just lik¢ Choate's confidence in hls own Judgment!” Months elapsed. One day there came 1 letter from De Quincey containing a humble apology for his previous blun- der. By chance he had found in his desk the manuscript of the very article in question. Written as it bad been years before, it had passed entirely from his mind. “and you may tell your young Boston lawyer,” he concluded, “that be knows my style better than L know it myself.” Thrashing Machines. The flall 1s the most ancient instru ment for thrashing grain, although it fs possilrie that the tramping of the straw uader the feet of horses. oxen and wmen is a close second. The Ro- mans uscd a machine called the “tri bulum,” a sledge loaded with stones or fron and drawn over the grain sheaves by horses or oxen. The first machine attempted In modern times for the work of thrashing was Invented by one Michael Mengies of Edinburgh about 1732. -Some thirty years later Andrew Meikle built a similar ma- chine. It was not until the latter half of the nineteenth century., however, that the thrashing machine reached anything like its present perfection. Death In Factory Fires. The question is often debated as 1o whether persons who lose their lives i a fire developing with great rapid- ity undergo extreme physical suffer- ing. An authoritative opinion is ex pressed by the New York Medical Jour- nal, which says: “Unnecessary an- guish of mind bhas probably been felt by relatives of uunfortunate workers killed in factory fires by reflection on of highly inflammable .substances is quickly consumed in a closed space the result is the production of large quan- tities of carbon monoxide. This gas. it 1s_well' known, combines with the haemogobin of the blood to form a Compound that refuses to ‘combine with oxygen. The result is a speedy and probably painless asphyxiation be- fore the flames have had a chance to attack the bodies of the vietims.” An ordinary case of diarrhoea can, as a rule, be cured by a single dose of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.
