' Van Wert, O., Aug. CO. Van Wert's victory over Richmond yesterday Is
held in doubt, notice having been filed that Richmond will protest the game on the ground that Stewart, who covered
short for Van Wert, is the property of
Portland, and is under suspension by the management of that team. Van
Wert claims to have purchased Stew
art this mornincr. and. further, that
the purchase money was immediately sent to Portland. Richmond's play was erratic in the extreme, being characterized by numerous mis-plays (downright "bonehead" work) which does not show in the box score. Ritter was the chief offender, his greatest offense being that of dropping a long fly, two hands down, permitting two runs to score in the initial inning. Van Wert scored one In the second inning through the grace of Fisher, who dropped the ball on a perfect throw to third. Van Wert registered three in the third on five hits and a stolen base, two of the hits being permitted to gcore through mis-judgment. Van Wert was presented another run in the eighth, thanks to Weaver, who tailed to properly judge a drive from Betz's bat and missed It by a narrow margin, Betz getting credit for a threesacker. Richmond's runs in the third were purely gifts from Conklin. who took both his time and ease in handling Wiltermood's grounder, the throw missing the runner at first by a narrow margin. Two hands were down at the time and Fisher was perched on third base, having reached first on a clean single. Weaver drove the ball to deep right and Bockewitz stumbled and fell. The ball hit the sun-baked ground and bounded over the fence,
scoring two runs and giving Weaver the credit of a home run. Score:
lost the final game of the Kokomo series Thursday by the shutout score of r to O. Inability to hit Gillis, the Kokomo twirler. together with errorless support by his team mates, told the story of the Jaybirds defeat. Several times Gillis pulled himself out of tight places, retiring the locals at one time by striking out the batsman when the
bases were full. Hunter, who started the twirling for Portland, was relieved by Gray, who came in from left field in the third. Wagner was sent to the field, and In the remaining Innings made two of the three hits with which Portland is credited. Gray, for Portland, pitched a good game and held the visitors down well, rortland goes to Kokomo Friday for two games, and plays the Muncle Shamrocks Sunday and Monday, playing two games Labor Day.

The Van Wert management should
be given a severe dose of discipline for
its action in playing Stewart Thurs
day. This makes the second time that the manager of the Van Wert team has
violated the league agreement concern
ing players, which reads that the man
ager of one team shall not tamper with
the players of other teams or use
player under suspension or black list
ed. Van Wert's first offense was play
ing Wentz, a pitcher claimed by Rich
mond and who President Kling ruled
was the property of the local club
There Is not the slightest doubt that President Kling will sustain the protest made by Richmond Thursday. In the
third Inning of the game Thursday
Stewart received a telegram from Kling ordering him out of the game.
After the contest Stewart admitted that
he had received such orders from Kling but stated that he did not receive the telegram until the ninth Inning. Van
Wert's claim that Stewart was purchas
ed from Portland, from which team he
jumped last Saturday, Is regarded to
be nothing more than hot air.
Stokes Weaver lined out his second
home run Thursday. It was a hard
driven ball, which took the fence on a bound. For lining out this drive the foreman of a Van Wert liquor em
porium presented the hard hitting outfielder with a bottle of Gold Seal bub
ble water. We have offered to furnish the corkscrew. Tacks Fisher put a ball over left field fence which was easily a fair hit, but the umpire ruled
it a foul.
ine uiuriton Dregs are here for a

Bluffton arrived with the Inflated front as a result of taking a double header from Decatur on the latter's lot. Fleming is probably working in the first game. Cole will be in the points
Saturday.
Tommy Carlin is now being seen by the local bugs for the first time. The little fellow has been playing a whirlwind game with the Quakers at Van
Wert, being responsible for the victory

BREWERS ALARMED OVER LOCAL OPTION Action Taken at a Secret Meeting Held Recently At Cincinnati.
SOUTH DISTURBED FIELD.
A COMMITTEE WAS NAMED THAT IS TO DEVISE WAYS AND MEANS FOR CARRYING OUT THE BREWERS' PLANS.
PLIGHT OF THE ACTOrt.
Behind the 3cencs Ho Is, In a Manner, a Prieorcr. In a way, behind the sraes is a prison. It i surely one cf the very few places where Jr.toJ'Igfrat raen tud women are lucked U; tbvlr place of weak and where ao n;essiyf ffbra the outBide world Is allowed to reach them. There is a traditloa teat actor folk are of unusually etuilonal temperament, and if therefore a telesxaoi is received at the stage door it i& ii-rer delivered until after tie perfwrrsniiee. The message migbt Le at.. invitation to supper, or it iniglt annaume that the actor's favorite brother has bceu hanged, or it might be an offer in a stock company to play twelve times a week, or it might tell the nctor that he was the father of twins or that his wife would die without seeing him again unless be came at once to her bedside, but all of this information I supposed not to be good for the actor's emotional disposition, and the telegram is therefore given the same distinction as the "mash" note and kept until after the performance Is finiefced. It cannot be Bald that the actor's emotional disposition is very ser'oa.sly considered beyond the cast iron rule In regard to telegrams. His comfort and intelligence have been slightly flattered in a few theaters of very recent date, but for the most part the condition of behind the scenes in most playhouses is not calculated to breed particularly high thoughts of any kind. As a matter of fact, he is treated little better than when he was only a "strolling" player a gypsy several centuries ago. Charles Belmont Davis in Outing Mag

"PLUG" TOBACCO.
An Old Farmer's Story of How the v Name Originated. In the Jury room at the courthouse a few days ago an old time farmer Bald as he took a chew of tobacco: "All the difference In the world in tobacco. I've tried twenty different kinds, and none is as good as that we used to make ourselves down on the farm. We would take a maple log while 'twas groen and bore a dozen bores In it with a two Inch auger. They were our molds. We selected our choicest tobacco and soaked it for a week or more In wild honey. Then we'd take the leaf to the log, get a good hickory tamping stick and go to work. . "A little ball of the honey soaked tobacco would be put In the auger hole and tamped in with the stick and a hammer. We'd pound It In solid. Ball after ball would be rammed in and pounded until the whole became a solid plug. When the hole was nearly full, we would pound in the plu;?, and then the log would be put away to season. As the wood dried the moisture would be drawn from the tobacco. And when It was split the sweetest tobacco ever made was taken from It. We called it 'plug tobacco, and that's where the name originated." Kansas City Star. i Cat Laughter?- . 1 .What was the origin, of. the phrase "Enough to make 'a cat laugh?" Dr. Murray's Dictionary notices only "Enough to make a cat speak," which Is explained as signifying something extraordinary, especially something very good to drink. "Old liquor able to make- a cat speak" is quoted from an early eighteenth century source, and therewith Stephano's remark to Caliban is compared, "Open your mouth; here is that which will give language to you, cat." . Miss Squeers maidservant said that only to see Miss Squeers' friend. Miss Price, toss her head was "enough to make a tomcat talk French grammar." But even that is not exactly laughing. lias it anything to do with the mythical Cheshire animal? London Chronicle.
Dress In Old Massachusetts. There was an ancient law in Massachusetts that ladies' dresses should be made long enough to hide their shoe buckles. In 16C0 an act of the general court prohibited short sleeves and required garments to be lengthened so as to cover the arrus to the wrists and gowns to the shoe buckles; "immoderate great breeches, knots of ribbon, broad shoulder bands, and they be, silk roses, double ruffs and cuffs" were forbidden. In the same colony. In 1653, I. Fairbanks was tried for wear-
ins great boots, bet was acquitted.
A woman, seventy-two years old, ac
cused at Feltham. England, of intoxica
tion and disorderly conduct, said she had been "keeping up" her mother's
birthday. Her mother was ninety-eight.

Farmers who are planting locust trees declare that there is no more profitable way of utilizing cheap land. They figure it this way: Two thousand four hundred trees can be planted to an acre; in eight years these trees will be large enough to cut for fence posts and each tree will yield two posts. At retall these posts will be worth 25 cents each, or 50 cents a tree. That means at retail a crop worth $1,200 per acre at the end of eight years, or an average of $150 an acre a year.

A new device for delivering orders to passenger and freight trainmen on the Pennsylvania has been adopted. To obviate the necessity of stopping trains, the trainmen will receive their orders while going at top speed. The orders will be attached to hoops, the
