Look! Old Jack Quinn Has Sore Arm—His First!

liy Time* Special CINCINNATI, July 30.—When Uncle Robbie’s menage moved out of Cincinnati today after taking three wallops on the chin from the Reds, it included one of the strangest phenomena in the long history of baseball. John Picus Quinn, the antique of antiques, has a sore arm. Now there are all sort of sore arms in the big leagues. But a Quinn arm done up in cotton and camphor is about as odd an exhibit as you will find in any museum. "Here I have been around for twenty-nine years in baseball and at my age I get a sore arm,” wailed the dean of slingers. “How does that jibe with your given age of 41?” an inquisitive reporter asked the spitball throwing relic. # * a a a a “W fELL, maybe it isn’t ’29,” said John Picus. "But whatever it is, at VVmy time of life I get a sore arm. Look, I can’t even raise it.” And Mr. Quinn attempted to arrange the arm after the old-fashioned manner of a guy lifting a stein of Bock. Some of the baseball archeologists then organized a party to view the Quinn arm It had strange markings on it like an Egyptian tomb. "Manila, 1898,” was one of them. And “Richmond, 1866,” was another. Or maybe it was "1908” after Richmond. Whatever his age and antecedents, there he is with the first official sore arm of a long and varied baseball career, and if that isn’t a story out of a museum catalogue then John McGraw is an admirer of Umpire Clarke.

Night Golf Is Up for Trial By United Brett CHICAGO, July 30.—An attempt to popularize night golf—not the miniature kind—will be made at a nine-hole course opening at West Wilmette Saturday night. Nine steel towers, each seventyfive feet high, have been installed on the short course at a cost of about $32,000. Tests made this week reveal that the flight of the ball is more easily followed under this lighting system than in the daylight. The distances of the holes vary from seventy-five to 165 yards, and all clubs may be used except wooden ones.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

CIVIC BODY MAY QUIT FIGHT ON NATURAL GAS Reversal of Stand Seen Due to Delay Threat in Litigation. Possible reversal of the Federation of Community Civic Clubs’ gas committee stand opposing introduction of natural gas into Indianapolis by private interests was seen today following a meeting of the committee late Wednesday. While sentiment of the committee was reported to be divided on the matter, several members of the committee were of the opinion that pending litigation, may delay acquisition of the Citizens Gas Company by the city utility district for several years at least. The committee at a recent meeting decided to oppose petition of the Manufacturers’ Natural Gas Company for right to lay mains in the city to serve large industries desiring to use natural gas, as a means of competing with similar industries in other cities having an advantage in the lower cost of natural gas. Favor “Mixture” Plan The committee felt then, and still feels, it is reported, that natural gas should be introduced here, but only through mains of the Citizens Gas Company, being mixed with artificial gas to assure an uninterrupted supply. With almost inevitable delay in acquisition of the Citizens company by the city, some members of the committee, according to John F. White, one member, feel some steps must be taken at once to relieve situation of local manufacturers. Sentiment in favor of permitting the laying of natural gas mains by the Manufacturers’ company, formed by local manufacturers, is held by some members of the committee, White said, providing the company contracts to sell its mains at cost to the city utility district upon acquisition of the Citizens company. New Suit Threatened White pointed out that even In event the circuit court suit filed by Attorney Alva Rucker, seeking receivership for the Citizens company and attacking validity of its lease of mains from the old Indianapolis Gas Company, should be lost, appeal to the United States supreme court is likely, the intervening steps requiring probably three years before final settlement. Commitee members were informed, White said, that a large utility company owning a large part of the Indianapolis Gas Company bonds has a suit, attacking the lease held by the Citizens company, ready to file in event the Rucker suit should be dropped. This would add to delay in acquisition of the Citizens company by the city, if successful, would restore control o fapproximately 65 per cent of the gas mains in the city to the Indianapolis company, leaving the city with a costly "white elephant” on its hands in event it acquired the Citizens company, it was sajd. Another meeting of#the committee when a definite decision may be reached is to be held soon.
