PIRATESREPEAT?
Many Dopesters Figure Clarke's
Buccaneers Will Cop Again.

Apparent Waak Spot on tho Team.

"Will the rittabur'g world's champi
on repeat this season? Thia la the ab
sorbing question among the fans and
baseball generals at present Almost
every day one can hear the following
questions being asked regarding the
1910 pennant racer lias there been any
chnnge In the relative strength of Na
tional league clubs since last fall?
Are the Pirates weaker? Are any of
the contending clubs stronger? An
swer all of these questions negatively
and you have virtually admitted thnt,
barring accidents and what ball play
ers term "bad breaks" In tho luck.
Fred Clarke will again realize his high
est ambition during the season of rJlO.
Answer them affirmatively and it Is up
to you to show tho dope upon which
your judgment is bused.
All the names engraved on the
world's championship buttons are
there, with the exception of Mil Ab
teln's and Vic Willi'. Tho clouters
who worried all the heavers they
faced, the twirlers with the tantalizing
shoots and curves, the fast fielders and
speedy baso runners and the aggres
sive genius who piloted the aggrega
tion to victory last season are all pre
pared to do business ngnln at the old
stand, and the dopester who declares
that they will fall to repeat Is com
pelled to admit that he Is figuring the
loss of Absleln and Willis as a serious
defection or he Is basing his predic
tions upon the expectation of sensa
tional performances by some of the
recruits from minor league ranks.
It takes a great many years to build
up a baseball club liko the Tiratcs or
tho Cubs, and none of tho second rate
aggregations now claiming to have a
chance for the 1910 pennant is likely
to accomplish It In a single season.
Wagner was not a star of the first
magnitude when ho first performed In
the big league. Tommy Lench hud a
hard fight for a permanent berth on
the old Louisville team, and the base
ball world was slow to recognize Fred
Clarke ns one of the greatest generals
It contains. There will be new stars
In 1!)10 lu nil probability, but they will
bo so rare that the conservative dope
ster will continue to figure the race
down to n triangular fight between the
riltsburg. Chicago and New York
clubs. One of the three will capture
the pennant, but which one?
First base Is tho only weak spot of
mo rinsimrg lenm. second Is well
guarded by Jack Miller, short by the
only Honus Wagner and third by Bob
by Byrne.
. The first sack position has given tho
rittsburg club more concern for hnlf
a dozen years than all tho other regu
lar places combined.
Neither Flynii nor Shorpe will set
Forbes field on fire this season, but
either of them will make n very capa
ble first baseman and will Improve
with experience.
Tho pitching Is every bit ns strong
as Inst season. With Cnmnltz, Ad
ams and Maddox working regularly,
with Leevcr ond Phllllppe on the de
livery line occasionally, with Leifield
for use against the clubs that are
weak hitters, with a southpaw on
the mound nu-J with Brandon, Powell
and Frock more reliable and more ef
fective than they have ever beeu, the
Buccaneers might seem to be very
well fortified In tho hurling depart
ment, tho most Important of tho game.
But Dreyfus and Clarke have corralled
a bunch of likely youngsters out of
which It Is reasonable to believe that
two or three will be selected for reten
tion on the clul)'8 roster.
Tho outfield? Clarke. Lench and
Wilson! Can you beat it? Tommy Is
in his usual spring condition and nor
mal In all other respects. He ranks
-with Wagner and Clarke as three of
tho world's greatest ball players, and
there are ninny who make allowances
for his size and pronounce him tho
greatest.
Tommy and Fred can hardly lie ex
pected to Improve on past perform
ances. Nobody asks It. But "Chief
Wilson will. The Texas giant has not
yet attained his full growth In base
ball, lie Is faster this year, and be Is
going to give the National league out
fielders more Marathon pnetlce than
ever before. Ho looks good for the
.300 class this time.
The. catching with Olbson. Simon
and O'Connor compares favorably
with any on the circuit.
Umpires Mutt Create T routers.
It may be that the umpires of the
Western league will hnve to hire val
ets. Jack llaskel, chief of the staff,
las declared thnt not only must the
umpires garb themselves in blue this
year, but they must keep their trou
sers creased. Jack snys thnt a rlnsslly
clnd innsler of ceremonies adds much
to the eclat of the game and that be
will Insist on nil his Indicator holders
wearing blue trousers, blue hlousoi
and the cutest little blue caps. They
may wear blue or tnn or black shoes,
even the footwear with tho green tops
not being burred, but the clothes edict
goes for sure,
FIVE BAD TWENTIES.
T!is J-c'30 Siii He Re;: VVs No
Sure Who Got Them?
A noted lawyer of one of the
southern states, famous not only
for his brilliant mind ami lo;.ral
ability, but also for hU ri'id code
of honesty, used to tell this story
on himself:
"Soon after the civil war the
judge was called on to defend a
man accused of passing counterfeit
money. The old lawyer, after in
vestigating the matter and satisfy
ing himself that the man waa inno
cent of any intent to do wrong and
had only paid out money which he
had received in good faith, under
took the case. Vhen the case came
up for trial tho jury waa so im
pressed by Judge 's plea for
his client and his explanation of
the circumstances that a verdict of
not guilty waa rendered without de
lay. Tho acquitted man was very
grateful to Judge and, after
thanking him profusely for getting
him out of the ugly scrape, said:
"Judge, 111 never forget what
you've done for me, and some day
I hope to be able to prove my grat
itude. But the only thing I "can do
now is to pay your fee, and I'll pay
whatever you ask. How much is
it?"
"Well, I think about $1,000 will
be fair," replied the judge.
"That's fair enough, sir," agreed
the client, "but, judge, the only
money I've got is the same kind of
money that I have just been prose
cuted for spending. Some of that
money is good and some of it is the
counterfeit thnt was worked off on
me, and I don't know t'other from
which. Now, I will pny you $1,500
in the bills that I have got, and you
do the best you can with it."
As there seemed nothing else to
do, the judge agreed to this,, and
tho client paid him the $1,500 in
bills and left him.
The judge took the $1,500 to his
bank and explained the circum
stances to the cashier and asked
him to take out the bills which he
as an expert pronounced good. The
cashier did so, and the judge depos
ited the accepted bills to his credit,
and then, taking the packago of
doubtful' money to another bank,
he made the same explanation and
request of the cashier, the bank re
ceiving on deposit the money
which, as experts, they pronounced
good. .
"And do you know," 6aid the
judge, "after I had visited six banks
I had got rid of all the money ex
cept five twenty-dollar bills, which
nil the banks had agreed were coun
terfeit, and my fee in the case, in
stead of being tho $1,000 which I
originally charged tho man netted
me $1,100, and I've always had a
suspicion that if there had been !i
few more experts in the town 1
would have got rid of those last five
twenty-dollar bills."
"What became of the fivn
bad
the
twenties?" some one asked
judge.
"I'm not sure," replied the
lawyer. "My wife asked mo
old
for
she
them, and shortly afterward
made a trip to Washington. When
she returned she showed me a
brand new hundred dollar bill,
which she said she had got at the
United States treasury. But I nevei
asked her any questions. I knew
the treasury department had ex
perts too." Chicago Record-Herald.
Enlivening the Table.
"You'll be the star of our din
ner table tonight," said a materfa
tmilias after an amusing conversa
tion with n friend the had chanced
to meet, "for I'll tell the family all
the amusing things you've be'n say
ing. It's a rule of the house that
we must try 1o remember all inter
esting happenings, so that they can
be served ;ip with our food. 1 don't
suppose the men Fred meets in
business nn really especially bril
liant, but whenever they do display
any wit he always tells us, und in
this way we have grown to feel such
an interest in them that we can en
joy hearing even of quite unimpor
tant events with which they are
connected. It's just the same with
Ned's and Edith's friends, and you
have no idea what a jolly crowd we
have at our table sometimes, and it
helps our digestion wonderfully."
Kew York Tribune.
Origin of the Word Sterling.
The origin of the word "sterling"
is very curious. Among the early
mintcrs of coin in northern Europe
were the dwellers of eastern Ger
many. They were so skillful in
their calling that numbers of them
were invited to England to manu
facture the metal money of the
kingdom. The strangers were
known as "eaterlings." After a
time the word becatno "sterling,"
and in this abbreviated form it has
come to imply what is genuine in
money, plate or character.

Keep the Kidneys Well
Health Is Worth Saving and Some
Iattsmonth People Know
How to Save It.
Many Plattsmouth people take
their lives in their hands by neglect
ing the kidneys when they know theses
organs need help. Sick kidneys are
responsible for a vasrt amount of
suffering and ill health, but there is no
need to suffer nor to remain in danger
when all diseases and aches and pains
due to weeak kidnys can bo quickly
and permanently cured by the use of
Doan's Kidney PiUs, Heie is a Platts
mouth citizen's recommendation.
J. L. McPinney, Lincoln Ave.,
Plattsmouth, Neb., says: "Doan's
Kidney pills, procured fiom Gering
and Co a drug store, have been used
in my family and have brought prompt
relief from kidney disorders after
other remedies had failed. In 1906
I publicly recommended Doan's Kid
ney Pills for the benefit of other kid
ney suffereers and at this time I have
no teason whatever to withdraw one
word from that statement."
