GEORGE REFUSES T0 PAY $40,000 (Continued from firat page). der to enable the attorney for the petitioners to present authorities in support of his position, 3 While the ease argued to-day in- volved only a trifle over $9,000, and related to Judicfal Ditch No. 12, there are other'ditch’contracts which will be affected by the decision, so that the amount involved is prac- tically $44,000. If the law is held to be constitutional the contractors will recelve this money. If the position of the county is correct the county will have the use of this money un- til the final completion of the con- tracts. The county receives interest on the money in its possession, there: by reducing the ultimate cost to the land owners affected by the ditch. The result is important to the con- tractors, because they need the money. It is important to the coun- ty because the interest the county receives on $44,000 is very sub- stantial sum. When interviewed to-day regard- ing the case County Attorney Tor- rance sald:— “I know of no legal, moral or equitable claim the ditch contrac- tors have to this money. Until some such reason is plainly made to ap- pear I shall do all in my power to resist its payment. County Auditor George is entitled to much credit for the persistency with which he has stood his ground. Believing, as he did, that the county was entitled to retain this money, he refused its payment, in spite of the fact that the attorney general’s office had ruled to the contrary, and not- withstanding that our neighboring county had paid over its share of the money demanded.” Judge Stanton leaves this evening for Baudette, here he will hold a special term of court. It is expected that he will file his decision shortly after his return to Bemidji, REPUBLICANS PLAN ATTACK Senators Preparing Amendments to Tariff Bill, ‘Washington, July 8.—Republican members of the senate quietly have been preparing for some weeks for the attack to be made on the Underwood- Simmons tarift bill when it gets back into the senate late this week. ‘While a program of tariff policy has mnot been laid out by the Republicans leading representatives of the party in the senate have prepared amend- ments, substitute schedules and pro- tectlon arguments, directed by many of the important sections of the Demo- cratic bill. Senator Simmons, chairman of thy finance committee, who will bring the bill in from the committee with the seal of Democratic caucus approv- al upon It, estimates that five weeks will be enough to wind up general de- bate and discussion of the measure and to obtain a vote on its final pas. sage. Prominent Republican senatorsdoubt whether the tariff can be disposed of In the senate in that time. COOLER WEEK 1S PROMISED Weather Bureau’s Forecast Predicts Only Moderate Temperature.

JUDGE BEN LINDSEY. Denver Jurist Denounces Charges of His Critics. SAYS REYENGE IS REASON Judge Lindsey Will Fight Movement to Recall Him, Denver, July 8—That the persons backing the movement for his recall are actuated by revenge was the declaration of Juvenile Judge Ben Lindsey in a telegraphic statement answering the charges of his critics. Juddge Lindsey’s message was sent from Tamguay, Pa. He defies his critics and promises to come back to fight the recall movement. “A mass of lies and misrepresenta- tion,” was the way the judge charac- terized the accusation made against him. Judge Lindsey’s telegram de- nounced his enemies and said: “We will show that these people have been importuning anti-suffragists and my bitterest enemies and interests op- posed to us to back a fight against the court. That has been a part of their campaign for years and has no purpose or desire to protect any child. T have not the slightest fear of the outcome of this fight.” SUFFRAGET PLOT TO BURN LONDON BARED Sirange Story Is Made Public by Scotland Yard, London, July 8.—Scotland Yard has received details of an alleged suf- fraget plot to burn London.

The vessel is in bad shape. The crew got off safely. The steamer Loughlin got out of her course and went aground at the lower end of Hay lake. When We Criticize. No one who habitually points out others’ faflures can be a success him- Self. There 18 eomething about the habit of criticism that prevents the free, full expression of good in the lite of the critic. It has been said, for example, that “professional literary critics mever turn out any good litera- ture. Their habitual attitude of criti- cism dries. up the sources of literary production.” Whether this sweeping statement 18 true in every case or not, it suggests a warning that most of us need to think about. To be habitually interested in peeing and speaking about the failures of others is to dry reverse is equally true; to be sensi- tively conscious of the good that is in others, to discover it and talk about it freely, is to bring good into being in our own lives that might otherwise better it is to_discover that which makes for life than that w] B up our own powers of good. - And the | Defective Ball players in the National ana American leagues are not as cour- ageous as most -fans imagine. Most followers of the game-carry the idea that the men who pitch and who stand up at the- place and allow & pitcher to throw the ball at their heads have a llon’s heart. Such is not always the case. % There is a twirler on the Brooklyn team who- would be a wonderful slab artist it he were not inclined to be timid. It 18 not the intention to con- vey the idea that he is “yellow,” but only to point out how a player de- prives himself of being a top-notcher In the ranks through fear of what he ‘Tmaginesis a disgrace and the lack of an abundance of nerve. The. individual in question is Pitch- er F. L. Allen of the Trolley Dodgers. Re 18 & southpaw and the possessor of a8 great an assortment of twisters as any left hander in the National league today. Manager Dahlen thinks as much of him e does of Nap Ruck- er, and depends upon him almost as much. But Allen has that one fault of becoming intimidated when he ob- serves from the rubber thut another man is being sent out to warm up to be in readiness should his services be required. Brooklyn -secured Allen from Mo- bile, Ala,, last spring, and it was a member of the board of directors of the Southern league team who told of the peculiarity of the southpaw, “Allen was on our team in the sea- son of 1911 and as I saw every game he twirled at home I studied him thor- oughly,” said the Mobile baseball man. “One of the first faults I detected was his tendendy to ascend when another twirler was sent out to loosen his arm, It seemed as soon as the pitcher walked from the bench Allen would lose all his nerve. I can easily real- izeit, for you will often find men who. will quit when they discover that an- other i8 being sent preparing to. take their place.” It seems to impress; upon them their efforts are not what they should be. This is the way it affected Allen. If he were handled properly I believe he would be a won- der of the league. By that I mean, it Dahlen in sending a man to warm up would keep him out of Allen's sight he would get better results.” Sending pitchers out to warm up. Wwhen the man on the slab is weakening and threatening to toss away the game affects some twirlers, and most: of them, differently than it does Al- len. Rube Marquard of the New: York Giants I8 one who is inclined! to lose his nerve when McGraw or- ders another man to get ready. Chris< ty Mathewson of the same club is Just the opposite. He 18 & great twirler and it hurts him to be taken: out and, therefore, when he notices two or three men at the club house warming up, he braces and pitches harder than ever. Seaton of the Phil< delphias 18 of much the same tem~ perament, as is Suggs of the Cincin- natl club, : ‘When Manager Evers of the Cubs wants George Plerce to tighten and pitch his “head oft” he stops the game and picks a man from the bench and sends him to the club house accom- panied by a catcher. The effect this has on the left hander is more than perceptible. - His action shows it. He walks around the rubber with a quick, snappy stride, nervously calls for Archer to give him the sign, and | shoots the ball in the direction of the plate with terrific sped. He I8 one of' the twirlers who consider it disgrace- ful to be yanked from the slab and he would rather miss his meals for two days than have that happen. Pierce has a sort of fiery temper while pitching and when a club makes a run or a few hits off him he grits his teeth and strains himself all the more, Bvers has several men on his team on_the order of Pierce.

The hitters have to take this and still remain as if nothing happened. When a bat- ter is frightened by a pitcher throw- ing a ball at him he is lost and at the mercy of the flinger, who probably will came back with a big curve and strike him out. There are many pitchers in the league who have that trick. There are not many players in the league who are scared by that meth- od. They are fully aware that the twirler does it with that intention, and they refuse to step toward the bench. Star hitters such as Wagner, Doyle, Zimmerman, Cobb, Jackson, Speaker, Schulte, Meyers, Magee, Bescher and & host of others seldom pull away from the plate unless the man on the rubber is excessively wild. Then they realize they are in danger and take no unnecessary chances. That is why a pitcher who 18 erratic and pos- sesses tremendous speed i8”success- ful, GREAT AS SPITBALL ARTIST Umplre BIll Evans Gives Russell Ford Credit for Having Most Pecu- llar Moist Ball. - “I've seen all the great spitball pltchers in the American league, and some of those of the National,” said Umpire Bill Evans, at present partner of the man who discovered the deliv- ery. “I've studled them. And you can say, without fear of going wrong, that Russell Ford did more with it than any man who ever lived. “Chesbro made it a factor in base- ball, and Ed Walsh has had more suc- Russell Ford. cess, in the way of winning with it, than anyone else. But Ford’s spitball had more break, and more peculiar break, than that of either of these two great masters. Russell had only one great year with it. But I never expect to see anyone get the breaks that he did.” American Baseball In Cleveland.
