THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AXI SUN-TELEGRAM, WEDNESDAY. APRIL 18, 1911.

WEDNESDAY FATAL TO GRHOTHERS Office Boys All Over Land to " Have Annual Lie for Their Employers.

BIG LEAGUES TO OPEN

Hoarse Bellow of the "Umps" "Play Ball" Will Echo Over the Land.

Today the greatest event In the annual sporting calendar will take place the first game, of the major league baseball season. To the uninitiated, lukewarm and purblind reader, this announcement is of no special significance, but to the dyed-in-the-wool raging, rampant, ring-tailed fan, the millions of masculine maniacs, who yearly toss as cany perfectly good straw "Kellys" high in the air under stress of great excitement It rivals In Importance the assassination of the president, a declaration proclamation of war, or the announcement that John D Is a candidate for chief executive of the United States on the Socialist ticket. It means the. democratic hobnobbing of bootblacks and bankers, bartenders and brokers; the visual appearance of small boy's Idols; and a liberal Interchange of the currency of the realm. But the opening of the baseball season has still another, deeper, darker side a side which brings sorrow to thousands of happy homes, makes prevaricators of hitherto perfectly honest men. and causes a dearth of office boys which threatens to bring the business of the nation to a standstill towit, the death of grandmothers. This summer's loss of the dear old ladles has long been viewed as a season which, during the open months, rivals the yearly slaughter of other game. In fact so great has been the alleged death of superannuated females that It Is estimated upon competent authority, that something like 40,000,000 succumb annually to the rigors of our summers. Your Only Real Mug. Then there Is the "bug" whose hedgehog Is the home team. This man starts bis 'spring with the exodus of the clubs for the south and gradually sheds garment after garment as they work north. Today he will appear on bis way to the opening game without any overcoat, possibly wltb his coat unbuttoned, but always showing six symetrlcal stogies, which retail at a half dozen for a quarter, and will swear by all that be holds sacred that summer Is here. Still another victim of that pusxling disease "fanltls" Is the soary octogenarian who jostles you on the car, begs your pardon In quavering tones, and straightway launches Into a dissertation regarding the relative merits of the teams of yesteryear and those of today. Thla ancient "bug" usually remembers the day the game was Invented, familiarly calls by name the man who first Improved horsehlde by surrounding a ball with It and will If properly approached, permit . you to feel his biceps, and pull that Sinbad stuff about the time he used to bounce the pill off the back fence with such regularity that they had tq shift It a half mile. Then. 'too. there Is the family man the office bound, hard working mar"rled person whose only acquaintance with the gamo Is through newspaper reports. The man who will look wistfully out of the office window, hands In pockets, and pen behind ear, and wonder "how the game's goInV Tb'e man who will go home to his family, bale hla quota of fodder and lose himself In the sporting page, until brought to life by his better half, who demands to know "What he sees In that old baseball anyway," and who will then retire for the night and dream of the happy days when fifty cents wasn't such a great amount and he could occasionally kill a relative and see a game. . But aside from all these queer queer kinks and turns of human nature that the season will disclose there Is the vast army of "fans." not "bugs" you understand a "bug" Is a parasite, a manaic, and a pest, but "fans"--men women and children, rich, well-to-do and poor who. at work or at play, awake or sleep, at home or harvest, eat sleep, think and talk, love baseball. The fans whose money contributes to the life of baseball, whose Interest makes It profitable, and whose allegiance to the "home team" creates that spirit of rivalry without which money and Interest would be of no avail these are the people to whom the announcement that the major league season opens today means the most Where Teams Play. The opening of the season presents the world's champion Athletics at home In the Quaker City, with the rejuvenated Highlanders furnishing the competition. Connie Mack has preserved bis 1910. combination and has also secured several recruits wbo show promise of developing Into lively ball tossers. The team will be stronger than the band that copped the big series, as Rube" Oldring, who was laid up at that time, will be back In center field. The greatest change In the appearance f the Yankees Is caused by the acquisition of Roy Hartaell from the St. Louis Browns, and he Is down to play short unless Chase makes another of his tamed eleventh hour changes of mind. t The Cubs, practically a aew team so far aa the infield la concerned, and with half a doaea new dingers, will face Roger Bresna ban's St. Louis Cardinals, who win Invade Chicago with brighter prospects than at any time during the last ire years.

BASEBALL "HOPES" OF EAUM FAST Squad, Reduced to 15, Practicing Hard for Opener, on Saturday. The baseball squad at Earlham college has been reduced to fifteen men, and among these there Is sharp competition for positions. With eight old men back on the diamond, and more promising new material than has turned out for several years, the battle for positions promises to be hard fought. Reagan is handling the first baseman's mitt In a way that makes him a strong candidate for that position when the umpire shouts next Saturday In Indianapolis. The fight for shortstop between Brubaker and Moffltt Is the hardest on the team, extremely fast and accurate ball being played by both men. Moffltt Is also a good third baseman and therefore stands a chance of making one of these positions. Richie a former Earlham player, from Kokomo, is putting up a fine game as a backstop and if he continues to show such good form he is very liable to remain there. Former catcher Beard is practicing with the team and intends to re-enter the game when his studies will permit. Richie's good playing behind the bat, however, may put Beard in the outfield where he Is a good man. Coach Thlstlethwalte announced on Wednesday that a game had been scheduled with Moores Hill college, to be played on Reld Field next Wednesday afternoon at four o'clock. This will be the first opportunity for the Karlbam nine to show its ability at home, and there will be an exhibition of genuine college baseball of the speedy variety. It is an off schedule game but promises to be one of the fastest of the early season.

Jimmy Archer holds down first base. In New York, the Giants are the attraction, with the Phillies of Red Dooin as the visitors. McGraw figures on running away from the Cubs and everybody else in the National this year as Bugs Raymond has been toeing the chalk line. Dooin is also optimistic, but, as either Bugs or Matthewson will dish them up for the "Choints" today, the Sleeptown crew will have to go some to get a running start on their schedule. The Invasion of Cincinnati by the Pittsburg Pirates is ticketed as a lively melee. Both clubs claim the supremacy of the National. The Brooklyn club will play on the ground of the Tenney aggregation in Boston. At Detroit, the Chicago White Sox will be the guests and there Is much speculation that will be determined as to whether the old Tigers can come back., The bill at the St. Louis American park is the Browns vs. Cleveland. Larry Lajoie and the antediluvian Cy Young will be watched closely In this contest, as also will Nlgg Clarke, Jimmy Austin, Laporte and "Lefty" George, the new assets of the little Scot, Bobby Wallace., The Red Sox of Patsy Donovan will camp In the national capltol and McAleer of the Senators will pitch his head-liner Walter Johnson. Summing it all up, Cleveland and Pittsburg will be the only major league towns without a game at home on opening day. At both of these cities the deaths of grandmothers will be postponed until a week from next Saturday. In tbe meantime the dear old ladles have our sympathy.

EARLHAM '10 GIVES MEMORIAL BENCH

The memorial given to Earlham college by the c!ass of 1910 is now being set up on the college campus just south of the library. It is a bench, oyer five feet, six Inches long, handsomely constructed of New York marble, with brass bolt trimmings. The ends and back are three feet high and four Inches thick.

Fox arter Dr. Stephen C. Markley. who is attending him. had declared that he could not live. Spinner had lain on his cot at the jail since he was taken with convulsions, his body shaking incessantly from head to foot. He never regained consciousness and continually emitted low groans.

QUAKERS BOWED TO TIMERS! 4-3 "Little Cunny Richmond - Center, Painfully Injured May Lose Eye. Revival of the popular game of polo in the form displayed in the old Western league at the Coliseum on Tuesday evening witnessed the defeat of the Richmond team by the Elwood aggregation in a fast and interesting contest by a score of 4 to S. The complete pleasure of the polo fans who turned out on the bad, rainy evening to the estimated number of 1,300, waa marred by one detracting incident. After about ten minutes of play, George Cunningham, plucky little center on the Richmond team and an old favorite on the local five in the days ot the Western league, was struck over the right eye by the ball driven at a terrific speed by Harold, of Elwood, who was about ten feet distant from him. Cunningham dropped with a thud to the floor on the instant and a pool of blood soon formed where his head lay. He was removed from the floor by his team-mate, and Dr. Zimmerman called from the audience to attend him. An examination showed a deep gash to the bone from the nose to the opposite corner of the eye, the severed eyelid hanging down over the eye. It required six stitches to close the gash. The flesh below and to the side of the eye was considerably cut and bruised by the terrific impact of the blow. Cunningham suffered excruciatingly from the pain of the injury. The swelling of the injured portion of the little player's face had not reduced to any extent this morning so that the physician was unable to say with accuracy whether his eyesight would be lost and his skull injured although he declared that both might be the case. Cunningham was taken to his home. There being no substitute to take the place of Cunningham, Hickey was taken off the Elwood offence and the game finished with four players on both sides. Ted Lewis, whose thrilling playing in the old days when polo reigned supreme is well remembered, was easily the star of the game, and it was his fast clever work in the closing period that netted three goals for Elwood, putting them in the lead, and furnished an exciting climax to the game. Both teams played good polo and the crowd seemed well pleased with the exhibition. Ado Mansfield played his usual fine game and pleased the audience with his fast and clever work. Cunningham was working the floor fine before his unfortunate in and It Is believed Richmond would have had little trouble in coming out first if he had been able to have finished the game. Sox Quig'.ey and Harry Thompson, both local boys who have come to the front in the Eastern league, played a good game for Richmond. Lewis and "Soxy" Lyons were practically the whole works for the Elwood team. The scoring was started by (uigley, who landed a nice one in the cage on a hard side drive after 7 minutes and 17 seconds of play. Elwood took a slight spurt and in 1 minute and 20 seconds Harold caged the ball and evened up the score. No more goals were made that period. Thompson scored first in the second period in the time of 5 minutes and 35 seconds and executed the trick again in two minutes, giving Richmond a lead of two points. The score remained 3 to 1 until the opening of the third period. It was then that Lewis started off in whirlwind fashion and played exceptional polo until the end. His speedy floor work and rushing were by far the most exciting features of the game. He scored first on a drive after ten seconds of play and followed with another goal twelve seconds later by drawing the goal tender from his cage and then rolling the pellet in past his side. Lewis executed the same performance after 4 minutes and thirty-five seconds more

ILLUMK1ATI0I1 FOR ENCAMPMENT PLAI1

Fred Schornstein Selected Chairman of Committee To Donate Power. At a meeting of the committee on illumination for the G. A. R. encampment on Tuesday Mr. Fred Schornstein was selected as chairman and with Charles E. Marlatt and Charles J. Davis, formulated some new and novel effects which they expect to produce. In addition to the illuminating of Main and North E street 3 the lighting will be -extended to the court house, Gennett theater, Colisenm, interurban station and north on Ninth street to the high school. Mr. Schornstein has promised to donate the current, which will make quite a large saving in expense. The material will have to be secured and shipped from New York and will be here in plenty of time for the encampment. The state president of the Woman's Relief Corps, Mrs. Dr. Alta Boram of South Bend, has taken up the matter of presenting a flag to the high school during the G. A. R. encampment. It is the custom of this organization to present the high school in the city in which the state meeting is held with a flag to be used for exterior display. This ceremony will probably take place on Wednesday afternoon, May 17, at about 3 o'clock. Good speakers will be in attendance and every one is invited to witness the ceremony.

SCALDED TO DEATH

Baby of G. J. Duke Overturned Kettle of Boiling Water. After suffering untold agony from severe scalding burns about his face, arms and chest since Tuesday afternoon about 1 o'clock when he pulled a kettle of boiling water from the kitchen stove onto himself, the little one-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. G. J. Duke, 207 North Nineteenth street, died at about noon on Wednesday. The parents of the baby are prostrate over the child's untimely death. The baby, who was in the kitchen with its mother who waa doing the after-dinner work, escaped her attention long enough to get over to the stove and with playful Intention grabbed hold of the kettle of boiling water and upset it, the scalding water falling' on its head and shoulders. Heroic means to save the baby's life proved fruitless. Funeral arrangements have not been made. '

Some interesting tax receipts, relics of the time when Wayne county was . in Its infancy, were displayed to court house attaches on Wednesday by Henry Clevenger, a resident of this city, at 147 Bridge avenue. The receipts were made out to Mr. Clevenger father, uncle and grandfather, .Henry Duter- -row, John Duterrow and Philip Duterrow, respectively. The oldest bears the date of 1S26. and Is a receipt for state and county tax on 160 acres ot land in Franklin township, then the property of John Duterrow, to the amount of $128. It is signed by Lew. is McClair, deputy collector. In those days collectors were sent over the county to collect the tax from the residents, the present system ot having the payment of tax made in the county treasurer's office not having been de vised at that time. i The 1S26 receipt consists merely of a small slip of paper evidently cut by" scissors from a pad, and bears no day, date or number to enable a quick tracing of the payment of the tax on the county's books. Amazement was ex- : pressed by the county officials today when shown the receipts by Mr. Clev enger how the county treasurer's books could have been kept with no better system than this. The second receipt In point of time is of the date of 1836 and Is for $1.68. The amount represents state and county taxes on 120 acres ot land in Frank, lin township, then the property ot i Henry Duterrow. The receipt is signed l by Redden Charree, deputy collector. I Mr. Clevenger has two other receipts imade out to his ancestors bearing i dates of 1S36 and IStO, and all ot them ! make up a very interesting and valuable collection.

For every disease there are offered a multitude of specific remedies. All must be sold, but among them there is room for intelligent choice. On what principles shall such choice be based?. The question is equally important for the purchaser and dealer for the pur. chaser because in even trifling ailments an Inefficient , remedy is worse than none at all -for the dealer because a satisfied purchaser Is sure to come back. .'. The Penslar Remedies commend themselves for the following reasons: 1. They do the work, and do it as promptly and efficiently as any remedy can. 2. Their composition is not made a mystery, but their active ingredients are ingeneral plainly stated, and these ingredients will be found to be those on which scientific physicians rely. 3. They are compounded by skilled pharmacists who have made a life-long study of the art of combining remedies wi,th reference to their compatability, and their mutual influence in relieving the symptoms of disease. . . Palatability has been kept in view In their preparation, so far es this can be secured without the sacrifice of efficiency in the remedy. 5. The Penslar Remedies are put up in an attractive style, as worthy to appear in elegant dress. 6. No extravagant claims are made for these remedies. It is easy to ascertain by consulting works on materia medics what effect can be expected from this or that remedy, and only such are promised sub ject to such influences as we know baffle the wisest physician. In view of these obvious points of superiority in the Penslar line or Remedies, the druggist can confidentially recommend them to customers who reek his advice. They are not sold with the idea of substitution or to be offered in place of other Remedies that may be called for, nor are they expect' ed to take the place of the family physician. There le a demand for ready made remedies for the ordinary ailments, the exigencies of which do not require the family-physician. This demand is to be supplied by either an advertised proprietary preparation or some formula that is either put up by or prepared for the druggist. Of course the opportunity for the sale of these Remedies depends largely upon the community and the standing that the druggist may have in his community. In these days of competition everyone, is looking for value received, and any argument that advances this theory appeals forcibly to the sensible citizen. No druggist cares to recommend proprietary preparations, the merits of which he knows only through the advertisement he has seen and which enters largely into the cost of the preparation. The druggist who wants to hold and increase his business has to be careful in what he recommends and to have confidence In what he recommends. The' Penslar Remedies meet these requirements. - , We are exclusive distributors for Richmond for the Penslar Remedies. "If It's HUeel at Cotricey's. It's right
