CAMERON MISSED A TBAIII, NOT PLAYING First Game With Decatur Was Pulled Off Without Quaker First Baseman.

RIDGELY WAS RELEASED.

A GOOD FIELDER BUT A FAILURE AT THE BAT BLUFFTON BANNER HANDS THE SALVE TO MANAGER JESSUP. Richmond la playing the fast Decatur team, which has just finished giving us two severe beatings, at Decatur. The Quakers will, take the field In a slightly crippled condition, owing to the absence of First Baseman Cameron, who missed his train and was unable to reach Decatur until after the game had been played. Horn will probably work for Richmond and it is probable that Laxon will be in the box for the Commodores. Laxon has always been an easy proposition for the Quakers and the chances are that Richmond will nose out the game, despite" Cameron's absence. Ridgely is Released. Manager Jessup wielded the meat ax Monday and lopped off the head of Ridgely, who has been acting as substitute. Ridgely was brought here on the recommendation of Nat Fleming, who touted him as a remarkable batter and fielder. Ridgely made good In the fielding department but could do absolutely no execution with the bat. As hitters are what Manager Jessup is looking for he could find no

use for Ridgely. He probably will return to his home In Fairmount, W. Va. ' Three are Batting. .-.ver, Morris and Wlltermood are " o:iiy' three Quakers who are vfns any form with the bat these rj-3. Weaver is slugging along at a SSI clip while Wlltermood is hitting at .294. Morris being Just behind him with an average of .293. Cameron and Jessup, the two other usually reliable batsmen are way down the list. Since the league opened Jessup has smote at a .229 clip while Cameron Is only hitting at .211. Ritter is hitting better since, the opening of the league season than he has at any time this year. The Rabbit is going along at a .237 rate. Those three hits Sunday helped a whole lot. Salve for Jessup. The sporting writer on the Bluffton Banner thinks Manager Jessup is just too sweet for words. Manager Jessup is more accustomed to a shower of bricks than he is to bouquets so he Intends to keep this piece of Bluffton literature on his hoodoo string: "That man Jessup is the dandiest captain that has -been on the local grounds this year. He directs his team without any blow or bluster, keeps them well in hand at all times, and when he has a kick to make to the umpire. Its ten to one he is right. He seldom has any disputes with the umpire, however, and when he does he goes at it in a mild Quaker fashion and the crowd never hears what he says." Players But No Names. Manager Jessup states that he has three new men on the hook but wuo they are will remain a dark secret until they have been bound, gagged and delivered c. o. d. into the local camp. This thing of getting ball players for the locals is getting to be more serious than the telegraph trlke. Hicks Is Signed. Big Hicks, late first bagger on Rab Hare's Lebanon team and still later I. O. league umpire, has been signed to play first for the Quakers, taking the place of Jim Cameron who insists that his retirement announcement is bona fide. Cameron intends to leave for his Rhode Island home after the game Thursday at Decatur and Hicks has been ordered to report here Friday.

WEATHERING FIRST SEASON SPLENDIDLY 4 The Indianapolis Star Has a Good Word for the Indiana-Ohio League.

PENNANT FIGHT PRETTY.

LEAGUE SO FAR HAS BEEN A SUCCESS IN EVERY RESPECT AND SHOULD GET AN EARLY START NEXT YEAR.

The Indianapolis Star says: The IndianaOhlo Base Ball league is weathering the first season's difficulties like a veteran organization. Although there has been some argument by the losing teams, the late independents are accustoming themselves to real league rules, and should finish the season without trouble. Van Wert has probably the hardest luck story of any of the six clubs. With one of the fastest teams in the league the Ohioans have lost time and again by the narrowest of margins. With an even break in luck, however, Van WTert hopes to get into the thick of the fight this week. All of the I. P. league teams have been strengthened thi3 week. Several of the fast men from the other good independent clubs that disbanded recently have been added to the league ranks. The struggle for the pennant is a pretty one and the article of ball has been classy from the start. One ot the most pleasant features to all concerned is the large attendance at the games. The addition of a pennant race has aroused much more interest in the

j contests between the clubs and the j fans feel like they were supporting their different clubs to some purpose

now. The league so far has been a success in every respect and is expected to finish the season with flying colors and get an early start next year, with two more clubs, and prove one of the strongest base ball organizations in the state.

In the first game of the week's series at the public play grounds, Monday the Models defeated the Shilohs by the score of 12 to 10. A large number of juvenile fans were present to root for their respective favorites. The schedule for the remainder of the week is as follows: Tuesday Models vs. Clippers. Wednesday Shilohs vs Clippers.

The Laundry Didn't Charge For the Ruined Shirt. "When I came to open my bundle of stuff rent home from the laundry this moruing," said the bachelor man. "I found in it, sent back washed, but not Ironed, one shirt that had pinucd to It n ticket reading like this: " 'We are returning this shirt on ECcount of it not being in a condition to withstand ironing.' "This was a new one to me, but when I came to open up the shirt and looked it over I didn't wonder that they hadn't tried to iron it; one arm was all but torn from its socket, and there was a hole punched through one cuff, with a tear extending from this hole for an inch or two up the sleeve. The shirt was sure not In condition for Ironing, but how did it get so? "I certainly never sent it to the laundry In that shape. I'd have had hard work tearing the sleeve out of the shoulder the way this one was torn, and I couldn't have made that hole In the cuff without some sort of a sharp and big punch. Clearly the shirt had been torn and mangled In that manner by being caught in the laundry machinery, and so I wrapped it up in a neat little bundle and, took it over to the laundry office, intending to make a claim for the value of It. I spread the shirt out on the counter and called the clerk's attention to it and told him that I couldn't have torn the shirt In that manner; it must have leen done in the laundry, and how about it? " 'Well said the clerk, 'we made no charge for it.' "As the Jull significance of this came upon me they had torn my shirt all to pieces, but they didn't make any charge for It I staggered back, and I kept on staggering that way until 1 had got out of the door. "I shall never make any further claim for the shirt. I got back far more than its value in that lesson in clear, cold nerve." New York Sun.

An Old Song. From the hieroglyphics on an Egyp tian tomb comes the following song, almost Identical with one sung by the i-gyptian peasants considerably over 3,000 years later than this was written: Tread ye out for yoursIves, Tread ye out for yourselves, O oxen ! Tread ye out for yourselves. Tread ye out for yourselves. The straw! For men who are your masters. The grain! London Chronicle.

Downtrodden Husbands. The middle claps woman in England now generally affects to be superior to the social position she occupies; she endeavors to dress, live and act up to the highest standard she has adopted as her own. This attitude and its attendant circumstances eventually induce the ordinary middle class husband to regard her as socially superior to himself. In time, from this cause, he becomes little better than a footman to his own wife. Marmaduke ia London Truth.

An Adverse Decision, an Appeal and an Oral Argument. The judge's daughter was perturbed. "Papa," she said, knitting her pretty brow, "I am in doubt as to whether I have kept to the proper form of procedure. In law one can err in so many little technicalities that I am ever fearfuL Now, last evening George" The Judge looked at her so sharply over his glasses that she involuntarily paused. . "I thought you had sent him about his business," he said. "I did hand down an adverse decision," she answered, "and he declared that he would appeal. However, I convinced him that I was the court of last resort in a case like that and that no appeal would He from my decision." "Possibly the court was assuming a little more Dower than rightfully belongs to it," said the judge thoughtfully, "but let that pass. What did be do then?" "He filed a petition for a rehearing." "The usual course," said the judge, "but it is usually nothing but a mere formality." "So I thought," returned the girl, "and I was prepared to deny it without argument, but the facts set forth in his petition were sufficient to make me hesitate and wonder whether his case had really been properly presented at the first trial." "Upon what grounds did he make the application?" asked the judge, scowling. "Well," she replied, blushing a little, "you see, he proposed by letter, and his contention was that the case was of that peculiar character that cannot be properly presented by briefs, but demands oral arguments. The fact that the latter had been omitted, he held, should be held an error, and the point was such a novel one that I consented to let him argue it. Then his argument was so forceful that I granted his petition and consented to hear the whol case again. Do you think" "I think," said the judge, "that the court favors the plaintiff." Chicago Post.

The World's Coinage Muddle and the Range of Units of Value. Twenty-six different monetary units are used by the forty-eight principal countries of the world. Thus Great Britain uses the sovereign or pound sterling, France and six other countries of Europe use a unit equal to the franc, and Canada and the United States use the dollar. In value these different units range from 4.4 to 494.33 cents of money of the United States. They are represented in their turn by coins the values of which are either multiples or fractional parts of the value of their own chief units, and there are no doubt at least 200 such sufficient coins not one of which seems to have a value equal to that of any commonly known unit of weight, as the gram, for example, or the ounce of gold, although forty-three of these forty-eight countries have accepted gold as their standard measure of values. This lack of logical relation of coins to any widely used unit of weight of the precious metals may be due to the fact that money systems seem to have grown up haphazard, under diverse conditions of life, In different parts of the world. Such diversity in moneys may have been of little moment when millions of people spent their lives knowing nothing of the existence of other millions and there was little traffic. But these differences In monetary units are of importance now that international commerce includes millions of tons of products of the toll of all lands and billions of dollars each year to settle Its bills, for such differences put upon trade a wholly unnecessary tax. No account is made here of the burden laid on domestic trade by like variation In the value of such units at home, as of the tael of China, which hag sixteen different values within that empire.

"Olc Hundred" Scares Birds. It is a strange but well authenticated fact that the wild creatures of the woods dislike the sound of that solemn hymn "Old Hundred." Muir, the naturalist, proved the truth of this by Bingtng it in the woods of the Sierras to the birds and squirrels, which were very tame from never having been frightened by the report of a gun or other alarming sound. They would come and sit near him upon the branches of trees and listen to any lively tune he might sing, blinking their bright eyes as though they liked it, but at the first sound of "Old Hundred" they would beat a quick retreat to their holes or nests and never appear again until he changed the tune. This experiment was made In different places on various occasions with exactly the same result. New York Iler-
