Would Like to Have the Con

AMATEUR COUNTY LEAGUE
THERE ARE A NUMBER OF PLAY
ERS IN THE WEST END WHO ARE SAID TO BE FIT FOR FAST
COMPANY.
Dublin, Ind, July 2S The Palladium
a few days previous contained a statement that the Cambridge City Grays had refused to give Greensfork a game -who offered to play the Grays
lor a parse of .v a side, on neutral
grounds. Such an arrangement would
be a great drawing card for this vicin
Ity and if these teams really -want to set together and are searching for a .-neutral ground on which to play the
game, why not accept an invitation to come to Dublin? The ball field at this nlace la nerhaDS the best to be had
around here and as it is lying in idle
ness and the people of our town waiting patiently for games which are not forthcoming. the Greenafork-Grays
game would be acceptable. -
Tlv all means if the game is to be
nlaved on foreign grounds, let it be
brought to Dublin. Amateur League for County.
The forming of leagues seem to be
the vogue these days. Why not form
jn amateur leasrue in this county? Of
course, when it comes to organizing a league It would be useless to think of soeh a thing from a financial standpoint, but a league composed of eight teams in the county or of the immediate vicinity merely for the sport which would- be derived from the undertaking, would certainly be a success. All that would be necessary would be to take in enough money to pay the expenses of the teams, and this would not amount to any great sum. Each club could fit its members out with uniforms, etc., out of its private resources. An excellent plan to do this would be to have ice cream lawn fetes or me such arrangement and make up money enough to purchase these outfits. Then the expense of traveling from one town to the other would be all that would have to be
met and enough could be collected at
each game to meet this.
A league composed of the following
would be about evenly matched: Cam:
bridce Citv Grays. Dublin. New Lis
bon, Bentonville. Hagerstown. Greensfork and the Q. &. B. team of Richmond or one other amateur club of Rich
mond.
These clubs would make a strong
league. As evidence that the venture
would not be a failure consider the
fact that there was reported. from Cam bridge City an attendance of !,." peo
ple at the game there last Sunday. The league would mean the development of
come players who might some day
reach the professional class and would
also place this part of the state on the
base ball map of the country. A league now playing In the northern part of
the state is composed of just such am
ateur talent as we have and is an
nounced as a success. , Players Fit for Fast Company. .The debut of Pitcher Conner in pro
fessional company shows that there is
a- possible chance for any good ama
teur ball player to break into a better class. At Dresent there are several
young players who will bear watching
New Lisbon haa always turned out pro
fessional ball players and will likely cV bo again, Dublin has turned out her share, a has Cambridge City and
other towns in the county. A dozen
could be mentioned some of them who
liave achieved national fame. In Cat
-cher Paul, New Lisbon has one of the
best amateur backstops in the state
He is ready Tight now for a class on a
par with. Jessup's team. Paul has been catching' Conner for two j'ears and is about the only wind-pad artist that can be found here who can handle the awift pitching of 'Tick." Caty' as yoong Paul is known, is full of ginger and from the time the umpire shouts
"play ball," he is In the game with, all nls might, talking all the while he is
catching in an endeavor to rattle the batsman. It Is foolishness for any base runner to attempt to steel when Paul is behind the bat, for he puts the
ball swift and accurately into the sec
ond baseman's glove, long before the runner arrives there. His wit is usually the feature of the games in which be plays. Paul is undoubtedly the cream of the catchers and is worthy of a fair trial by any semi-professional team. The Happy Dutchman. Next comes Pitcher 'Germany" Shivrdecker, who ha been pitching such fine ball for the Grays. His home is at Bradford. O., and he has won every game ho has pitched for the Grays. He seldom pitches a game that he does not strike out from to V2 men. His characteristic pose in the box is recognized by a broad grin at. all stages of the game and more so when in a close pinch. He does not use any great amount of speed but he uses his "noodie to good advantage and every game sees the infield behind him with a large number of assists and put-outs which is evidence that his opponents are not hitting him out of the infield. "Germany" carries with him a very promising looking backstop by the name of Riddle. Enyart is a Comer. The Grays have a very good little outfielder who Is very popular. lie 13
Enyart. His fielding is sharp and quick but he is a weak hitter. "Dubby" Paul, although not much Is said of his work, is a splendid player, both in the field and at bat. He will get better
all the time. Percy Palmer, the Penn
sylvanla "copper", is another Gray who
does not receive all the credit which la due him. Palmer guards third and does it in a manner which is good to
look at although third base Is a most difficult position to play and he falls down a bit some times. Two Fast Infielders. The best material the Grays are carrying with them are the two Lewlsville players, Hickman and Disham. Both are Infielders and let it be said that they have no rivals in the amateur class In this vicinity. Hickman plays first and usually gobbles up every thing in sight. He is by far the hardest hitter on the lots hereabouts and all the pitchers lay away from him. His recent home run at Cambridge City was the longest hit which has beeri made thl3 season. Dishman handles second or for that matter he can playi any Infield position. It is seldom that Dishman has an error. He is also a
sure and safe hitter. It would pay any
manager to give these young players a
trial.
New Lisbon Has a Star. New Lisbon has a fine little player in Dare, who plays at short for that
team. He has been seen in Richmond on several occasions and is spoken of
as the best short stop about here.
Bentonville has several excellent
players but as they have not been seen
much, this year it is difficult to say
much of their work. However they certainly have a comer In Pitcher Frank Murley of Milton who does the box work for them. He has one of the quickest out curves and best slow ball
of any pitcher seen here as yet. He defeated the Q. & B. team recently at Bentonville, 12 to 2.
Dublin cannot show much, but "Big
Ira" Stant who has been working behind the bat gives evidence of making
a good catcher. As the Dublin team
has quit playing ball, he does not get much of an opportunity to display his efforts. "Yoaky" Sebring is spoken of highly by many and was said to have been offered a trial by Jessup not long
ago. He plays second for the Grays
and incidently pitches at times.

Manager Jessup has left the city to attend the Indiana-Ohio League meet
ing which will be held at Indianapolis.
Manager Jessup is on the schedule committee and he states that the
schedule will be drafted at this meet
ing. Jessup is prepared to make a hard fight against making the league an eight-club organiation. Manager Jessup states that it is his intention to keep Tacks Fisher on third base, at which position he has more than made himself solid with the fans. Morris, the hard hitting brilliant fielding Dunkirk recruit will be placed at shortstop and Midget Minler will be shifted to second base. Ridgely, the Fairmount, W. Va., recruit, goes to the outfield, displacing Cunningham, whose work at the bat and in the- field has not been satisfactory. Ridgely is an outfielder and second base has been a strange position to him. If Ridgely can bat as hard as he has been touted he will make a valuable addition to the out
field. Looks to be Improved. With Ritter to lead off, and the little fellow is fairly sure of getting his base by some hook or crook, and such
hard hitters as Cameron, Jessup, Morris and Wiltermood to follow him the offensive department of the team looks to be greatly improved. The four sluggers to follow Ritter can be counted on to hit at a .300 clip or better throughout the season. The only department on the team that looks real weak at the present
time Is the pitching staff. Fleming is
the only twirler ,who can now be re
lied upon to deliver the goods. Boyd has not been given a tryout as yet
and bis ability as a slabsman is an
unknown quality. Conner may be able to deliver the goods. He has
speed and fair curves but is wild and Inclined to loose his head at critical moments. Plenty of work may cure
the big fellow of these faults. With Hay on the staff it would loom up
strong.

Fred C. Vail of Philadelphia has
been chosen as athletic coach at Earlham to enter upon his duties at the
opening of the fall term. He takes
the place of W. C. Wilson and is to
coach all lines of athletics. There is
every indication that Earlham has made a great 'find'' in Mr. Vail. He has had six years' experience as a coach and has served as assistant un
der Dr. Carl Williams, the celebrated
head coach of the university of Pennsylvania, and Dr. N. P. Stauffer, the
well known official, and base ball coach of the U. of P. For the first two years of his experience a3 a coach he- was in charge of Germantown Academy. For the year 1903
he coached the Richmond, Va., college
team winning the Eastern Vireinia
League championship, his team not
being scored against during the entire season. For the past three years he has been head coach at Gettysburg
college, Pa.
His ability as a coach however, is
not confined to football. He has in
dulged personally and is able to coach
base ball, basket ball, socker, swim
ming, skating. Hockey field and ice, tennis and track. Mr. Vail is something of a sprinter, having defeated
Percy F. Dickey the year he won the
one-fourth mile championship of the
United States.
Furthermore Mr. Vail believes in clean sport and his influence ove the boys is always of the highest kind, as is Indicated by unqualified endorsements from the presidents of all the institutions with which he has been
And Three Times the Trap, Which Had Previously Been Tested and Found In Good Working Order, Refused to Open When the Bolt Was Drawn. One of the most remarkable scenes ever witnessed oa the gallows took place in England in the last century. Early oa the morning of Feb. 23, 1S85, a considerable crowd of people gathered before the grim front of Exeter prison. It was a silent crowd, shivering ia the keen wind that blew around those frowning walls on that dull, misty morning, and its eyes were all bent on a flagstaff which stood bare. They were waiting for a flag to be hoisted the terrible black flag which should announce that justice had been done on a murderer. Inside the prison a warder stood ready, holding in his hand the cord which should hoist the hideous black drapery lying on the ground at his feet, but the signal did not come. Instead of it there arrived an excited prison efficer. : "The flag will not be hoisted. Lee Tvill not be hanged today," he said, p John Lee, the prisoner whose death signal that crowd had awaited, had had one of the most remarkable escapes from capital punishment recorded In our prison history. To this day It remains somewhat of a mystery how John Lee lived so many years
after the events of that terrible morning.
- "I had a dream," the wretched man wrote to his sister the day after his
fearful experience on the scaffold-
had a dream on Sunday night (the
night before the day fixed for the exe
cution) that the scaffold was not ready
and that they had to make another.
I told the officers that were on watch
over me at 6 o'clock In the morning.
but I did not think it was coming true,
But it did. It was the Lord's will that
I should not die yesterday at the time
appointed by man. I believe, what oc
curred was a miracle. I was on the
brink of death three times. It is my
wish to die. I am tired of this world, and I am waiting for the time to come.
and I hone It will not be long. I have
been dead to this world three times."
John Lee did not exaggerate his awful experience. At 8 in the morning of that February day he had been led from his cell to die. In what had been the coach house of the prison the gallows had been erected. Beneath was a deep pit covered by the closed doors, which, when the condemned man was placed in proper position, should, at a signal from the executioner, fly open, a bolt being withdrawn by an assistant pulling a lever. The whole arrangement had been tested several times and had worked satisfactorily. But now, with John Lee standing there with the cap drawn over his face and the hangman's rope around his neck, the flap doors beneath his feet would not give way! Berry made the fatal signal, the assistant pulled the lever, the bolt flew back, but the doors kept their place. Then warders rushed forward and stamped with their feet upon the doors. They remained firm. Lee was led aside, and carpenters were called In to saw some of the woodwork away. Again all was ready. The clergyman once more came to the words, "In the midst of life we are in death." Again the signal was given, the bar was pulled, but the doors refused to part. John Lee stood there before them alive! Three times did that happen. For no fewer than eighteen minutes Lee stood there tasting the agony of momentarily expected death. Then the white cap was taken from his face and the rope from around his neck, and he was led back to prison, while the Jail authorities hastily conferred as to what should be done. A telegram was dispatched to the home secretary. Sir William Harcourt, informing him of the extraordinary occurrence and reqaesting instructions. Later the undersheriff proceeded to London to Interview the secretary. "I felt," said Sir William Harcourt later in the house of commons, "that it would shock the feelings of every one If this man were called upon to again undergo the pangs of imminent death, and I consequently signed a respite during her majesty's pleasure." London Tit-Bits.
Eased His Conscience. An amusing story is related of Johns Ilopkins. Honesty was evidently one of the fundamental trait3 of his character. On one occasion he was sont by his mother to borrow a flatiron of a neighbor. The good neighbor gave him the flatiron and at the same time offered him a piece of pie. "No, thank you. I don't want any pie," said the red faced boy as he started home. Halfway there the pie and his conscience were too much for him. lie wheeled about and knocked again at the neighbor's door, his face redder than ever. "I told you a story," he explained; "I did want that pie."

His Idea of Happiness. At the Tlayers' club In New York some years ago a number of actors were arguing about the meaning of the word "happiness." In the midst of the argument Henry E. Dixey appeared, and one of the contestants said: "Dixey, what is your idea of happiness?" Mr. Dixey smiled thoughtfully. Then he replied: "My idea of true happiness is to lie on a conch before a bright fire, smoking a large navana cigar given me by an admirer, while I listen to a woman who worships me reading aloud flattering press notices about my acting." A Limited Habit. "I see that some of our scientists claim that death is largely a matter of habit, depending upon thought and all that," he said. "Nonsense," she replied.

BLOOD SUBSTITUTE" Why Salin Solution Is Sometimes In jetted Into the Veins. Occasionally in cases of serious wounds where there has been great loss of blood the published reports state that "saline solution" was injected Into the veins to supply the deficiency. The average reader, however, has a very vague if any idea how a solution of salt takes the place of blood. Not to go into a complete analysis of the blood. It is sufficient to note that of 1,000 parts, 7 SO. 15 is composed of water, albumen G5 parts, sodium and potassium 8.371, coloring matter (supplied by the red blood corpuscles) 133, leaving only some 12 parts to bo composed of fibrin, fat, calcium and magnesium, etc. Yhre there is serious loss of tlood a state of collapse sets In because, the nrtual weight of blood being reduced, the heart's action Is diminished, there being less resistance for that organ to overcome. To counteract the result of shock and collapse It is necessary to stimulate the heart by restoring the normal weight; In other words, to get it to work by giving it something to work on. As the analysis shows, of 1.000 parts of blood nearly 800 are composed of water and sodium, and therefore a plain saline solution makes a good substitute. The heart does not know the difference, and it goes to pumping away as usual as soon as this imitation blood goto in the veins. The saline solution serves to tide the patient over the danger point. As the food Is converted Into chyle, new blood is formed, the red corpuscles are supplied rapidly from the normal tissues, and the saline
solution is thrown off through the secretions lu the usual way. Formerly transfusion of blood was the means employed, but this alwaj-s objectionable method has been supplanted. The greatest objection to the transfusion of blood from one person to another was that to supply the necessary amount to restore the wounded patient it was inevitable that the volunteer should be almost as badly drained, so that the physician would have two patients on his hands where he had one. Besides, there was always the risk of transfusing disease to the patient with the other's blood. Dog and pheep have been sacrificed to surgery for this purpose, but most people prefer to use blood of their own manufacture to any imported from beasts cr their fellow creatures.
