FORGOT DESIRE TO QUESTION
Chairman's Reception of Would-Be
Interrogator Somehow Discovered
» the Rest of Them,
At
New
a political meeting in a certain
South Wales goid-mining dis
trict the chair was taken by an ath
letic miner. The candidate
his speech was much interrupted
hootings and rough chaff, and
ing indignation. Smothering
wrath, however, he paditied
“boys” by assuring them that at the
end of the candidate's speech they
should be at liberty to put any
tion they chose. Accordingly, at the
end of the harangue he arose and in
quired in stentorfan tones and in a
rich Irish brogue: “His inny gintle
man a question to alrsk?” A stout
little Welsh miner, who had been a
conspicuous disturber of the
of the evening, shuffled slowly up the
steps of the platform. But at the
top he was met by chairman,
who, without the slightest warning,
delivered a terrific left-and-righter,
and sent the Welshman sprawling on
his back ‘Now,"” roared the chair
man, “has inny other gintleman a
question to airsk?’--and there was
no response,

Negligence Called Manslaughter.
The Stehr vs. before
the supreme court of Nebraska in-
volved the sentence of a father for
from one to ten years in the peniten-
tiary for criminal negligence, because
during a blizzard in Nebraska, when
the weather was bitter cold, he per
mitted the fire to go out, snow drifted
through a crack in the door and a
broken windowpane and the bedding
of all the members of the family was
frozen stiff The feet of of the
children were frozen, and although
such fact was apparent to the father
no physician was called in for sixteen
days, when amputation was found to
be necessary and the child died of
blood poisoning. The defendant was
convicted of manslaughter for crim
fnal negligence In falling to provide
medical care after he discovered the
frozen condition of child's feet.
In affirming the conviction the court
held a paremt having special
charge of infant child culpably to
neglect it that death ensues as a
consequence is manslaughter, al
though death or grievous bodily harm
was itended, and

SOME NERVY PLAYERS
Bresnahan Praises Men Who Can
Deliver When Needed.
Substitute Catcher for Chicago Cubs
Praises Frank Schulte, Outfielder,
and Heine Zimmerman, Slug
ging Third Baseman.
In baseball there are two kinds of
nerve, according to Roger Bresnahan,
Cub catcher. One is pos-
on the fleld, has a weak
heart when he is asked to go to the
plate in the ninth inning with a man
on third and drive home the run that
will win the game. The other is the
player who refrains from pugilistic
tactics, but has a heart of steel, takes
a viselike grip on the bat and grits
his teeth when the responsibility of
scoring a run is put up to him.
Bresnahan declares the first is the
easiest to beat in a game and the sec
ond is the fellow who makes compe:
tition keen all the time
Bob Bescher, left fielder of the Cin-
cinnati- team, struck Bresnahan
because the fielder struck out
pinch when a long fly or a
meant a victory. It was while
cussing this episode that
defined the two kinds of
baseball.
“There are two kinds of nerve In
this game,” sald Bresnahan, “and I

gle would have given the Reds the
game. He was aware that it was up
to him to rap out the hit that would
turn the tide. But he was as nervous
as a cat. 1 joshed him about it and
he took it seriously. That was how
the argument started. That was ex
actly what I was looking for, because
it won the game for me. He struck
out in the pinch and that was what
made him angry.

THE
re —
An interesting question that has!
bobbed up in the American league re-
cently relates to the problem of sing-
ling out the catching “find” of the
season. Chicago fans are practically
unanimous that the palm should go to
Ray Schalk of the White Sox and
they have much company in other
cities. They consider the problem an
easy one. Some critica have appeared
to dispute the right to the honor of
the young backstop corralled by
Comiskey recently
I watched Wallie
Philadelphia Athletics y in the
series with the Naps and
with all due respect to Schalk I think
Connie Mack has bagged the biggest
young catcher, all things considered, |
the major leagues,” sald a Cleve |
land scribe |
“I have seen Schalk in several se |
ries and | also have been in a position
to. watch the work of Schang in a bit
ter series in which Cleveland was bat-
tiling Philadelphia with the clubs in
first and second place. Schalk is just
as good a receiver as Schang, but 1
think this young catcher of Mack has
the edge on the Chicago backstop in
speed, in throwing and batting—im-
portant considerations in a catcher”
While some fans and critics are in-
clined to be prejudiced in favor
Schang of the!

is
ia
of
such stars as Schalk and Schang, it
is Interesting to know what scribes
and fans of other cities think of these
players when they are visiting hostile |
camps.
The work of Schalk has stood out
the opposing catchers on other teams
in the recent whirl of Comiskey 'sgath-
letes around the eastern circle. His
great plays at times were so thrilling
as to draw spontaneous applause from
a crowd rooting for the visiting club's
downfall
Following is the opinion of an ob
server in Boston, after watching
Schalk in the series between the
world's champions and the White Sox
recently
“1 have seen all the catchers in the
American league this season and 1
think Schalk is head and shoulders
above the whole lot. In getting down
in front of the plate for bunted balis
have never seen his equal. His throw
ing Is accurate, his receiving a delight
to see.and his batting surprising. He
seems as quick as a cat in tagging
unners at the home plate and
also seems absolutely fearless”
These two opinions of Schalk, ex
pressed by critics outside Chicago
show how highly this young catcher
is rated even by those who give
Schang the shade in a comparison
of the work of those two young stars
Chicago fans have had little opportu
nity to judge of the relative merits of
young catchers. They are
strong for Schalk and chances are few
White Sox fans could be found who
would give any other catcher in the
world the edge over the former Mil
waukee phenom purchased by Presi
