Tex Rickard, who is associated with
Jack Gleason in the promotion of the
Jeffries-Johnson contest and who four
years ago engineered the Gans-Nelson
fight at Goldfield,
Tex Rickard was selected to re-
The Referee, feree the battle be
tween the two heavy
weights. This settlement of the dif
ficulty came when it looked as if the
meeting to select a referee would enc
in another deadlock, and after hitter
words had passed between Johnson
and Sam Berger, Jeffries’ manager.
Rickard made the following state
ment: "To straighten out this affair,
1 am willing to act, providing my
name is agreeable to all concerned, I
don’t want to act, and I hope before
the fight takes place that Jeffries and
Johnson will agree upon another man.
If they can come to terms I am per
fectly willing to step down and out.
Rut If they can reach no other agree
ment I will not back down.” In spite
of the agreement, there is a feeling of
distrust among those who attended
the session that the last word had not
been said, and that sooner or later the
referee question again must be taken
up for consideration. It has been ru
| mored that to give the impression
j everything is in working order, Rick
ard has been named until the contes
tants have further time to look the
field over. This feeling, in fact, has
been strengthened by the statement
made by Rickard.
Women's hats at the ball games

Women’s Hats a about it. Tne
Serious Menace. number of women
who attend ball
games is steadily increasing and the
style of headgear that some of them
wear is appalling. One would think
that the commonest kind of considera
tion for others would prevent women
from wearing hats of a size that
makes it impossible for anybody sit
ting behind them to get even a
glimpse of the ball field. But, unfor
tunately, the average woman does not
seem to be aifected by any such con
sideration, and so the unfortunate vic
tims of her vanity and selfishness
have no redress. But the time is com

hat, will make his protest felt and
heard. Why not solve the problem l
reserving a section of the grand stand
exclusively for women and their male
escorts? This ought to be a compar
atively simple thing to do and it
would be fair treatment all around.
Conceding that there is a great deal
of improvement in the deportment of
players on and off the field, there are
times when one gets the impression
that there is en-
The Freemasonry tirely too much
Of Baseball. good fellowship
among the play
ers of rival teams. It seems that the
players realize that they are all in
the game for the money, and they
want to get as much of that as possi
ble, and the one will not stand in the
other’s light. There was a time when
rival ball teams meeting on the field
gave each other a wide berth. There
was none of that hand-shaking, no
jovial combats before the game. They
were real rivals in those days, and
the game was better for it. Now it is
a mere baseball exhibition —not that
it isn’t for keeps, but the players
do not take the interest. If a player
has a good day—that is, if he has hit
well —he cares little what the outcome
of the game was these days. Go back
a few years, and no matter what the
individual record of a player might
have been during a game, if his team
lost he took it to heart. The freema
sonry of baseball is not helping the
sport. This thing of a catcher tip
ping off what is coming to a battci
after his side has the game well in
hand, so that the batter can fatten
his batting average, is all wrong and
should be eliminated, even if the
catchers who indulge, in this practice
have to be driven from the game. It
is not fair and an injustice to the
public. Put this sort of thing goes
on in baseball. Let one side be a lot
of runs ahead, and when a friend of
the catcher comes to bat and a base
hit cannot do any harm, he is inform
ed what is about to be pitched, and,
of course, usually gets a hit. That
sort of a catcher is called a good fel
low, but he is really doing harm to
the sport. Fat batting averages give
players a right to demand big salar
ies, and one player is always ready
and willing to help another in 1
respect. This brotherly feeling is per
haps to be admired, but it is not help
ing the game.

“To my notion, the hardest play in
the life of the tliird-sacker is always
made on a bunt with a fast man try
ing to advance from first to second,
says Harry Steinfeldt. “In nine cases
out of ten it's bound to be a one-hand
ed play, and if the fingers fail to
clutch the ball or the throw goes wide,
frequently there is the dickens to
pay.”

Ty Cobb’s men, like poets,
Batting Advice, must be born, al
though there are
a number of heavy hitters who, at
one time were not famous for their
eye. "There is a war of wits between
the batter and the pitcher, and each
tries to foil the other. The batter
must study the pitcher just as the
twirler attempts to know the foibles
of every finger he is liable to go up
against.. A batter mi>;t keep the his
eye upon the ball from the moment
it leaves the pitcher’s hand. The bat
ter should try to guess what curve
the pitcher will throw. If it is an in
shoot, the batsman must step back;
if an outshoot, he must step outward.
This position at the plate is a matter
of choice. Every batter should choose
the poise which is most natural. Wag
ner stands as far away from the plate
as the batter’s box will allow, while
Lajole stands close to the plate. If
there is a right-handed pitcher in the
box, I stand ahead of the plate and
removed about a foot. If the twirler
is left-handed, I step well back to get
ready for the curve after it breaks. In
other words, I try to catch the curve
of the right-hander before it breaks,
and that of the southpaw after. Wan
ner uses a great club of a bat that
no other man could handle successful
ly. But Wagner is a powerful fellow,
and he gives a bound toward the plate
with that log swinging against the
ball with tremendous impetus. Like
positions, every batter must choose
the stick best to his liking.”

may differ, Rev. Mr. Dietrich, who Is

ADVERTISING THE SOUTH.
Southern Railway Exhibit Bringing Desirable
Settlers South.
Atlanta, Ga. — In connection with
the work it is doing in exploiting the
resources of the south with the pur
pose of attracting desirable settlers,
the Southern Railway company an
nounced that during the coining fall
it will make displays of southern pro
ducts ai a number of important fairs
in the north and west where they will
be witnessed by at least a million peo
ple outside the south.
At the Ohio Valley exposition to be
held at Cincinnati, Octotier 29 to Sep
tember 24, tne Southern Railway com
pany, co-operating with other railway
companies of the south, will make
a very large exhibit. Arrangements
have been made for over twenty
thousand square feet of floor space
in which it is planned to install just
as complete exhibits as possible of
the agricultural, horticultural, miner
al, forest and manufactured products
of the south. Attractive photographs
will also be used to exploit the re
sources and beauties of the sotuhern
country.
In addition to this joint display at
Cincinnati, the Southern Railway com
pany will make a number of displays
at other expositions and important
fairs where it is likely the greatest
number of people can be reached and
shown the possibilities and opportu
nities which await them in the south
along the lines of the Southern and
its allied roads.
The co-operation of the people of
the south is needed and requested in
making these exhibits as attractive,
complete and convincing as they
should be, and it is hoped that they
will give this co-operation by contrib
uting* speefiffens and sam'ples of prod
ucts which will aid in showing the re
sources of the country. Samples of
agricultural products of high class,
together with information about
yields, cultivation and returns are es
pecially wanted.
M. V. Richards, land and industrial
agent, Washington, D. C., will make
the exhibits for the Southern Railway
system and all who are interested
should communicate with him, giving
information about the material they
can furnish, so that proper instruc
tions may be given as to shipping
products for display. It is important
that every section be properly repre
sented and commercial bodies, agricul
tural organizations and citizens gen
erally interested in the growth of
their localities are invited to promote
the interests of their particular sec
tions by working for a thorough rep
resentation. The representatives of
the Southern’s land and industrial de
partment in the south are: W. L. Hen
derson, Mobile, Ala.; O. J. Stephens,
Macon, Ga.; T. B. Thackston, Bristol,
Tenn.; and J. F. Hays, Brevard, N. C.
A letter to any of them or to Mr. Rich
ards will receive prompt attention.
The determination of the Southern
Railway company to make such exten
sive exhibits of the resources and
products of the south at expositions
and fairs in the north and west this
fall is due to the splendid results re
ceived from such work in the past.
Since its organization in 1894 the
Southern Railway company has made
exhibits of the products of the coun
try along its lines at nearly fifty ex
positions and fairs, both in the United
States and Europe. In this work the
company has expended a large
amount of money, believing this to be
one of the best methods of advertis
ing the southern states.
These displays have done most ef
fective “boosting” for all portions of
the south reached by the company’s
lines and many settlers and industries
can be traced directly to them.
NO HEALTH DEPARTMENT,
Department of Health Will Not Be
Created by Present Congress.
Washington, D. C.—There seems to
be no likelihood that congress will
take any action at the present session
on the Owen bill to create an addi
tional executive department to be
known as the department of health.
The hearings on the bill were con
cluded and no meeting of the senate
committee on public health and na
tional quarantine had been called for
the purpose of making a report.
Washington News Notes.
There is reason to believe that Sec
retary Knox contemplates taking
some immediate action, having for
its object the re-establishment of
peaceful relations between Peru and
Ecuador. The state department of
ficials, however, decline to discuss
the matter at this time.
After weeks of alternate inactive
deadlock and careful work of consider
ation, conference and compromise the
house postal savings bank bill, as fa
vored by the republican members of
the committee on postoflices and post
roads, was introduced to the house
by Representative Gardner of New
Jersey.
More than two hundred witnesses
from many parts of the country are
to be summoned by the government
to appear before the grand jury at
Montgomery, Ala., which is to inves
tigate the jewelry bankruptcy fraud.
A dozen persons have been arrested
in connection with the alleged frauds,
as a result of the inquiries prosecut
ed by the department of justice. Loss
es estimated to range from $500,000
to $2,000,000 are said to have been
suffered by merchants.

dent at the white house Secretary Na

TERRIBLE PICTURE
OF SUFFERING
A Terrible Picture of Suffering
Drawn by Mrs. McElroy of
4, Clinton, Ky., Points
! Its Own Moral.
Clinton, Ky.-—“I was a sufferer for
Eix years from female troubles. I
could not eat and could not stand on
my feet without suffering great pain.
“I tried three of the best doctors in
the State of Kentucky and they said
I was in a critical condition and going
down hill.
‘‘l had lost all hope of ever being
better. I was so weak I had to be
helped up and down. I had neuralgia,
dragging sensations and such awful
hurting, low down in my right side,
I could hardly bear it.
“After using Cardui, for one week,
I found I was getting better, so I
continued to take it and in four
months time I felt better than I had
in six years.
“I advise all suffering women to
take Cardui. I got more benefit from
$3 worth of Cardui than from SIOO
worth of doctors’ medicines.”
The only way you can get the bene
fit of the genuine Cardui herbs, is by
buying a bottle of Cardui at your drug
gist’s. He does not keep the crude
drug, as it is not in the pharmacopoeia.
Fifty years’ of proof of its merit,
in actual practice, has convinced us,
and those who have tested it, of the
value of Cardui in female weakness
and disease.
Why not test it for yourself?
