baseball for many years, and to Bit
In the executive chair will be no new
experience for him. as he was the
boBi of the Atlantic league In 1897,
1808 and 18119. Harrow was born In
Springfield. 111., on May 10, 18G8, and
for a time was In the newspaper busl

In 1S89, locating In Pittsburg, and
once was In partnership with Harry
Stevens, the scoreenrd king. Harrow
helped organize the old Interstate
league, managing the Wheeling club
In 1894 and winning the pennant of
that organization. The next year the
Wheeling team, still managed by Bar
rows, entered the Iron and Oil league
and again won the flag. In 1896 Har

THOMPSON WINS HARD FIGHT
Sycamore Cyclone Defeats Rudle Un
holz in Six Rounds at Sydney, N.
8. W. Victory Unpopular.
Johnny Thompson of Sycamore, 111.,
made his appearance at the Stadium
at Sydney. N. S. W., recently, and
scored a victory over Rudle Unholz,
the South African lightweight, now of
the states. Unholz was clearly beaten
at the end of the fifth round And In
the first forty seconds of the sixth the
referee, Snowey Baker, stopped the
contest and gave tho verdict to
Thompson.
It was not a popular verdict, as
Thompson was decidedly heavier than
Vnliolz and naturally the crowd was
with the smaller man. Johnny was
so anxious to score a knockout early
that ho lost his head a bit In the
Cftb when he had Rudle about out
Sycamore Cyclone.
and Rtood almost over him twice after
scoring knockdowns, lie had to be
warned away hy the referee, but no
foul was committed and the win was
clean-cut ono for the Sycamore far
mer. From the woy tho men sized
ip In tho ring it looked as though
Johnny was fully ten to twelve pounds
wavier than Rudle and If he expects
Jo get down to the lightweight limit
or Hie American champion he will
bnvo to work hard Indeed, but Johnny
must know that he can do It. or he
would not be willing to post a forfeit
of $j,ooo to make the weight for a
match with Wolgast.
Thy crowd wos about the same slzo
hut saw Billy JVpke defeat Ed Wll
lama, but It war all In favor of Un
"lz. owing to the difference In
weight, as stated before. The sea
voyage, over Increased Johnny's weight
considerably ond he has found It hard
o reduce In this climate; In fact, all
o Americans have found It hard to
reduce here.

No One Seriously Thought Joe Could
Play Except Himself Grim
Started Him Along.
BY JOE TINKER.
(Copyright, by jnscpn ts. Mowles.)
It required a jimmy and a lot ot
nerve for me to get started In baseball
at all. No one except myself seemed
to think I could play ball well enough
to play It professionally. I made up
my mind when I was Just a little fel
low that 1 was going to become a ma
jor league ball player. I guess It
came from watching the great team
that Kansas City bad In those days. I
used to climb the fence, or catch balls,
or do anything else to get In to see
tbem play, and every time I came
away more determined to become a
player.
My people had other Ideas, but I
stuck to mine. I played on kid teams
before I "as ten years old, and used
to fight all the time. Then finally I
became t.ilrd baseman of the Hagen's
Tailors, a team of amateurs and semi
professionals supported by a Kansas
City team. At that time Johnny KUng
was manager, catcher and first batter
for the Schmeltzers, representing a
sporting goods bouse. Wo won the
championship, not losing a game, and
Kllng s team did the same, but tho
Hagens and the Schmletzers bad not
played. We were younger and we de
manded a gnmo to decide the cham
pionship. Kllng condescended to play
us nnd we gave them an awful beat
ing. That must have convinced Kllng
I could piny, as he bought me tho next
spring, giving $2 nnd some uniforms
for me. I played with him for a time,
then aspired to play real ball, and
started out Into tho country towns of
Missouri. 1 got canned almost every
where, but finally was picked up and
recommended to Denver. I lasted
there Just long enough to get a uni
form and then went to Montana. If
I do say It, I saved that Great Falls
team. The team needed money and
was about to fnll when John McClos
key, who was managing Butte, offered
$200 and another player for me. That
$200 saved tho team. I went to Butte
and we won the championship.
John Grim was appointed to mnnage
a team In the old Northwest league.
I'e wired me and I reported. Grim
pl.'kcd up ten men he nover hod seen,
put the team togethor In two weeks
and won the championship. Every
one of the ten men he started with,
made good, and with only one man
added we won from teams paying
twice the salaries. My work that sea
son attracted notlco, or else Grim
press ngnnted me and made the major
leagues believe I was good, for there
were five clubs aftor me, and both
Chicago and Cincinnati wanted me
bndly. I wanted to go to Cincinnati,
but Jack McCarthy had received such
bad treatment there he advised me to
try Chicago. I didn't want to come
to Chicago, because they wanted me
to play short and I thought I was a
third bnseman. I had made all my
success at third and was scared at the
Idea of shortstop, knowing that many

times players fnll because they are
shifted from their right positions. I
took a chance, went to short nnd dis
covered to my surprise I could play it
better than I could play third.
I think tho chief reasons for any
player's success . are theso: Hard
work, and study, and having ono's
heart set on winning. I cannot now
piny well on a losing team, and It al
most kills me to bo benten. A fellow
must feel that way to do his best
work.
RULES ARE LIKELY TO STAND
Coaches of Many New England Elev
ens Express Their Opinions Game
Popular With Spectators.
That the latest American modifica
tion of tho English . rugby football
game Is likely to stand for several
years at least, with perhaps a few
further minor changes, is the opinion
of ninny of the conches and players
of the New England college elevens at
the closo of the present Benson. From
tho spectators' standpoint tho game
proved more popular than ever before.
Injuries wero less In, number nnd
seriousness than for many years, only
ono fatality occurring In this section.
That was on Thunksglving day, at
Wtnsted, Conn.
According to Trniner "Pooch" Don
ovan nnd Doctor NIeholls of the Har
vard eleven, twisted knees wero more
prevalent thnn any other Injury.
Conch "Don" I'rycr cf the Brown
squad said that the new rules helped
his team immensely. "They gave a
greater chance for heady, speedy
men," ho said, "than was allowed the
sumo players under the old rules, nnd
tiro entirely satisfactory, except pos
sibly for the 20-yard zono relating to
forward passes and onsldo kicks and
the division of periods. Brown went
through the season without serious in-
Jury, nnd the team could have stood a
much harder schedule thnn under the
old rules. Brown put brains ahead of
brawn and won out."
Coach P. S. Durgln of Bowdoln col-
lego said t ho new game had great
possibilities, which even tho larger
colleges did not bring out
"What luck, my boy?"
"Oh! pretty fair. I got six winders,
two lamp posts and one silk bat already."
Young Age Pensions.
Young age pensions! Why not? Tl
tlos, honors, riches, pensions and most
other good things are, as a rule, post
poned to a period of life when the ca
pacity for enjoying them has been
blunted. Australia won one of tho
first countries to adopt old-age pen
sions, and now a Labor member of the
commonwealth parliament proposes a
complementary scheme of young age
pensions. Ho would start by pension
ing the fourth child at birth. Tho fact
that three had previously been born
showed that tho parents were doing
their duty and deserving well of the
state. Tho young ago pension would
"reward Industry and encourage tho
birth rate." Ixindon Chronlclo.
Left Both Satisfied.
It all happened on ono of those few
surviving pny-after-you-enter cars.
"Oh, I Insist on paying, fllndys," said
the brunette "You paid coming
down."
"No, I shall pay," declared Gladys
with equal firmness. "What If I did
pay coming down didn't you buy that
last packago of gum';'"
"Let mo settlo tho quarrel, ladles,"
suggested tho diplomatic conductor.
"Why not use the denatured form of
Dutch treat?"
"What's that?"
"Well, you each pay the other's
fare."
And that was tho way they solved
It." Cleveland Leader.
The Primitive Man.
"Jones Is so dreadfully primitive,"
"What's his latest?"
"Why, we were at tho opera house
tho other night and a stage hnnd re
moved a tablo and Jones yelled 'Supe!
supe!' We were dreadfully mortified."
"I was at a dinner the other night
nnd Jones sat next to mo. When be
saw the row of spoons nnd forks and
knives beside bis plate, he beckoned to
the waiter. 'Say, boy,' he hoarsely mut
tered. "I guess you Bpllled tho spoon
"Well, It's lucky he's rich."
"Ain't It?"
On the Dog.
A small West Philadelphia boy may
bo an author some day. Ho has Just
finished his first essay. It la on a dog.
"A dog Is an nnlnial with four legs,
a talo and pants but he never changes
them, lie wngs his talo when he Is
glad and sits on it w.hen ho Is sorry. A
dog Is a useful anlmulo because ho bites
burglars but ho Is more trouble than
ho Is worth when ho tracks mud on
tho carpet. A bulldog Is tho king of
beests."
Hit Specialty.
"What has becomo of young Mr.
D'Auber, who showed such signs of
talent In drawing? Has ho made a
success?"
"Oh, yes, Indeed. He's got all the
work he can do now."
"Mngazlno or audio work?"
"Ho draws the malteso cross show
ing where tho body was found. In the
evening papers." Cleveland lender.
Had Been In a Worse Scrape.
Damocli' saw tho suspended sword.
"That's nothing," ho cried, "I'vo sat
between two women with hatpins!"
Thus they saw ho could not be
scared.
Ended the Controversy,
On the steeple of an old Unlversal
Ist church In Bath, Me., there Is a
wooden figure of an angel. It Is not
a remarkably fine specimen of art, and
has always been somewhat laughed
about, espec'ally because of Its high
heeled shoei. The Hath Enquirer re
calls the story that a former pastor of
the North Congregational church once
accosted a devoted Unlversallst with
the question; "Mr. Raymond, did you
ever see an angel with high-heeled
shoes on Its feet?" 'Why, no," an
swered Mr. Raymond, "1 can't say that
I ever did; but did you ever sea ono
without them?"

ister who hnd recently taken chargi
of a small parish in Vermont. He)
aspired to greater things and a large)
field, and In the hope that his reputa
tion would travel beyond the limits of
the village to which ho had been sent
ho threw Into his sermons all the
force nnd oloquenco at his command.
He whs, however, totally in prepared
for what was Intended for compli

such a way that It loft him In doubt
as to the renl Impression he had mado.
due Sunday morning, after an espe
cially brilliant effort, ho was greeted
by an old lady, who wos ono of the
most faithful attendants at all serv

she said: "Ah, sir, wo do enjoy your

ow About Gleam Food
Another vSplcndid Opportunity to
When tho "Weekly" wttrh sued us for libel
(because wo publicly denounced them for an
editorial attack on our claims) was searching
for tome "weak spot," they thought best to
send a N. Y. Atty. to riattlc Creek, summoned
25 of our workmen and took tbolr sworn state
ments before a Commissioner.
lld we object? No. On tho contrary, we
helped all we could, for the opportunity was
too good to be lost.
Geo. Haines testified ho Inspected the wheat
and barley, also floors and every part of the
factories to know things were kept clean.
That every 30 minutes a samp!e of the pro
ducts was taken nnd Inspected to keep the
food up to standard and keep out any impur
ities, also that It Is tho duty of every man In
the factories to see that anything not right
is Immediately reported. Has been with the
Co. 10 years.
Edward Young testified had been with Co.
15 years. Inspector, ho and bis men exam
ined every sack and car of wheat and barley
to Beo they were up to standard and rejected
many cars.
II. E. Burt, Supt., testified has been with
Co. over 13 years, nought only the best
grain obtainable. That the Co. kept a corps
of men who do nothing but keep things clean,
bright and'poliBhod.
Testified that no ingredient went Into Grape
Nuts and Postuin except those printed In the
advertising. No possibility of any foreign
things getting Into the foods as most of the
machinery is kept closed. Asked If the fac
tory la open to the public, said "yos" and "it
took from two to three guides constantly to
show visitors through tho works." Said none
of the processes were carried on behind closed
doors.
At this point attys. for the "Weekly" tried
to Bhow the water used was from some out
side source. Testified the water came from
Co.'t own artesian wells and was pure.
Bring Out Facts
He testified the workmen wero first-class,
hlgh-grado and Inspected by tho Co.'s physi
cian to bo sure they were nil In proper phys
ical condition; also testllled that state reports
showed that Co. pays better wages than the
averago and be thought higher than any In
the state.
P. 13. Martin, Asst. Supt.. testified Grape
Nuts mado of wheat, bnrley, yeast and
water. Anything else? "No, sir." l'ostum
mado of Wheat, Wheat Ilran and Now Orleans
Molasses. Statements mado on bis experi
ence of about 10 years with Co.
Testified bakers aro required to wear fresh
whlto suits, changed every other day. Said
had never known any of tho products being
sent out that wero below the high standard
of Inspection. Asked If any one connectod
with tho l'ostum Co. had Instructed him how
to testify. Snld, "No, sir."
Horace Drown testified has-been with Co. 9
years. Worked In Grape-Nuts bake shop.
Testified thewholo of tho Hour Is composed of
Wheat and Uarley. Attys. tried to confuse
him. but be Insisted that any casual visitor
could see that nothing else went Into the Hour.
Bald machinery and floors alwn a kept clean.
So those men wero examined by the "Week
ly" lawyers hoping to find at least one who
would say that some undergrade grain was
put In or some unclean condition, was found
somewhere.
Hut it was no use.
Kach and every man testified to the purity
and cleanliness.
As a samplo, take the testimony of Luther
W. Mayo.
Testified been with Company about 10 years.
Now working in tho bakery department mak
ing Grape-Nuts. Testified that tho ovens and
floors are kept clean and the raw products at
they go In are kept clean. Also that the
wearing apparel of the employes hat to be
changed three times a week.
Q. Po you use Tostum or Grape-Nuts your
Etlf at all?
A. Yes, I uso them at home.
U. If from your knowledge of tho factory
which you have gained In your ten years at
the factory you believed that they were dirty
or Impuro In any way, would you uso tbem?
A. I do not think I would. No.
Asked If any one on behalf of the Company
bad asked him to testify In any particular
manner. Stated "No."
All theso sworn depositions were carefully
excluded from the testimony at the trial, for
they wouldn't sound well for tho "Weekly."
Think of tho fact that every man swore to
tho purity and cleanliness so that the Atty.
