la tiuest of Honor.
A party of nearly thirty, of which Miss
Mary McDowell was guest of honor,
lunched at the Millard hotel Tuesday noon
at the Invitation of Rev. H. C. Herring.
The guests Included representatives of a
wide variety of Interests, the local Bar as
sociation, the ministry, the Young Men's
and Young Women's Christian associations,
Women's club, probation officers and others
Interested in sociological problems, and
especially the Juvenile court. Following the
luncheon Miss McDowell spoke of the work
oMhn court In Chicago, from the necessity
of the first Juvenile Judge to apologise for
office on the ground that he felt called to
undertake the work, to the present time,
when the office of Juvenile Judge Is one of
the most respected. She emphasized the
necessity of divorcing pull and politics from
the office of probation officer and the ne
cessity of employing only persons of natural
fitness and broad culture for this office.
Upon which depends so much of the success
of the court.

LICENSE, BUT NO FIANCEE
Toning Man Borrows Money to Get
Doenment and Then Girl
Jilts Him.
Arthur F. Fletx, a young man from Coun
cil Bluffs, has one marriage license which
ho Is tumble either to use or dispose of.
His plight, according to the story he told
at the county judge's office yesterday. Is
due to the refusal of the young woman.
Miss Clara Mae Oliver, also of Council
Bluffs, to carry out her part of the con
tract. Mr. Flels called at the county
judge's office and wanted Ills money back,
hut he was told there was no provision In
the law for refunding money In such cases
and .that he must consider himself "stuck."
It was suggested that he keep the license
a While nnd perhaps the young woman
would change her mind back again. In
case she remained firm In her refusal only
one possible course to realize on his money
is open to him. It was suggested It might
be poHHible to substitute another name for
that of Miss Oliver.
Fletz made application for the license
Monday, but as he had only $1 and the le
gal price for the document Is $2 he was
unable to get It. Yesterday morning he
appeared again in company with a friend
who put up half of the price of the license.
Later In the day he returned with the an
nouncement that the young woman had
backed out. When he was told she might
change her mind and decide to marry him,
he very emphatically declared he was
through with her.
TELEPHONE MEN AT BANQUET
Officers from Out In "tatea Guests of
Nebraska Company at Com.
nrerctnl Club.
The Nebraska Telephone company was
host at a perfectly appointed banquet given
to about 100 of its local managers, agents
and sub-llcencees in the Commercial club
rooms last night. The officers are in the
city attending a sort of annual conven
tion. In which they receive Instructions,
listen to papers by experts and discuss mat
ters of common interest. The banquet was
served In 8teward Pryor's best style and
the decorations were specially pretty and
tasteful, being In blue and white. Tiny
bells, emblematic of the corporation, hung
over thi diners and down to the center
of the long tables amid garlands of green.
Before each guest was a telephone in
strument of the most modern pattern, con
nected with the others by tiny blue and
white ribbons. The cut flowers used were
white carnations.
President Yost of ths company acted as
toastmaster, and after the menu had been
finished called upon a number of the offi
cers of the company nnd the guests for
short Informal talks. An evening of much
sociability and genuine pleasure was en-
Joyed, the arrangement and details being
in the hands of Vice President and General
Manager Vance Ijine.
Annoaneeiuents of tha Theaters.
A special matinee will be given this after
noon by "The Wizard of Oz" company, now
playing at the Boyd theater. The engage
ment ends with the performance this even
ing. This fine sxtravaganaa is even mora
popular this season than ever before, as it
has been kept strictly up-to-date and ia in
all essential regards a new show.
Seats are now selling for the coming en
gagement of "The Old Homestead" at the
Boyd theater. Penman Thompson's great
play has lost nothing of its charm, but is
the same delightful story of real life it has
always been; Its power to please haa never
lessened, but has ripened with tha passing
years. The company Is chosen for the play
and in its ranks are several who used to
support Denman Thompson in the piece.
The engagement Is for Thursday, Friday
and Saturday evenings, with a matinee on
Saturday afternoon.
The! success of "Iroquois" at the Burwood
thia week is little short of phenomenal. The
most critical of patrons have praised the
piece for Its strength and virility and have
ronipll-nented its author on his good taste
In staying It as effectively as he has. The
next matinee will be given on Thursday
afternoon.
Marshall P. Wlldre Is proving one of the
most delightful cards the Orpheum has
played this season. His humor Is Irresistible
and so wholesome ars all his sparkling
stories that it is little wonder Henry Ward
Beecher and other distinguished prelates
endorsed Mr. Wilder so highly. Wilder is
an excellent mimic as well as wit, and
shows himself possessed of the subtleties
of the hlstrionlo art to an eminent degree.
The regujar midweek popular price matinee
will be given Thursday.
The advance sale for the Orpheum road
show next week has already reached auch
proportions' as to warrant an extra Tues
day matinee, which the Management has
decided upon. This will give four matinees
during the week Sunday, Tuesday, Thurs
day and Saturday.

CRACK PITCHERS OF PASlf
Stan of the Diamond Whose Namei Are
LoTingly Beoalled.
MEN WHO WON FAME AT BASE BALL
Charles Sweeney's 1 nequale strike
Out Rerord and Fen turps of the
Work of Other (irest
Twlrlers.
Christopher Msthewson's remarkable
pitching in the world's series last fall,
which will not be forgotten by the present
generation of base ball fans, has been the
subject of an interesting discussion among
several old timers who recall some of the
performances of star twlrlers during the
last thirty years. In shutting the Athletics
out three times in succession many experts
have credited Mathewson with the greatest
feat In the pitching line ever recorded. In
many respects it was an Incomparable
plore of box work, but in days gone by
there were pitchers who were Just as sen
sational and masterful. Oeorge Washing
ton Bradley, now a Philadelphia policeman,
wss the star pitcher of the St. Louis team
back In 1WR. He was a noted shut-out
pitcher and whitewashed the Hartford club
three days In succession. John Clapp was
his catcher, and together they made, a fa
mous battery. It was seldom that a club
played a series in the Mound City without
receiving a string of goose eggs from Brad
ley's effective twirling.
Going back even further, it Is a matter
of record that the Boston club won the
"pennant," or rather the championship, in
1872, 1873, 1874 and 1875. with A. G. Spalding,
now a millionaire, as the only pitcher. In
1R7B Spalding pitched in every game played
by the Bostons on their own grounds an.l
von them all. He bad superb control of
the ball, ued the old underhand delivery
and bowled the heavy slugcrers over with
a "slow raise." It was in 187R that John
M. Ware w-as one of the pioneer curve
pitchers. He started with Providence and
In 1879 he was Instrumental In wlnnlnsr the
champlonshlo almost single-handed. Ward
.t... nm nut that venr without a lilt
and handed the whitewash brush around
liberally. He had great speed, excellent
control and above all a cool, level hed.
His curves and shoots were so deceptive
that be was one of the hardest pitchers
to handle nnd kept the agile Barnev Gllll
gan. little Nava nnd Kmll Gross, all great
catchers, on, the 1umr.
Wonder Without Curves.
Thomas Bond, another star boxman in
the old days, was with the Atlantlcs. Hart,
fords and Bontons from 1873 to 1883, nearly
every year pitching 90 per cent of the
games for his team. Bond relied wholly
upon speed and control, coupled with head
work, which helped him out of many a
tight place. But he pad no curves until a
couple of years before he retired from the
game. Bond's best catcher was Charley
Snyder, who went behind the bat day after
day. despite the fact that such a thing as
a big mitt or "pillow" was not heard of
then. "Tricky" Nichols was another fa
mous pitcher In those days, but his best
ball, a sharp, puzzling drop, was afterward
ruled out by the moguls. Then there was
the Only Nolan, who pitched for Indian
apolis In 1878 and shut out all the clubs at
different times that year. He had a wide,
sweeping out curve, which he controlled
with splendid accuracy, and had ' the big
hitters up in the air.
Charley. Sweeney of the crack Providence
team of 18S4 was far ahead of his time In
point of skill. He established a record of
nlreteen strikeouts In a single game which
has never been equalled. Sweeney nan a
preliminary movement very much like
Mathewson's, and In the estimation of com
petent Judges who remember his work In
the box he was the most difficult man to
hit that ever faced a batsman, and this In
cludes the wonderful Amos Husle and
Matty, too. The keynote of Sweeney's suc
cess was a "fadeaway" ball, identical with
the one used by Mathewson. When lie
struck out nineteen men one afternoon It
was not with the aid of a foul strike rule,
although the pitcher's box was only forty
five feet from the plate. This performance
was the talk of the country at the time
and Sweeney was looked upon as a genuine
phenomenon. His side partner on the Prov
idence team was Charley Radbourne, "Old
Hoss" as he was familiarly called, and he
was not far behind Sweeney in point of
pitching skill either. "Rad" had wonderful
stamina, for after Sweeney deserted the
Qrays he consented to pitch game after
game, occupying the box about twenty days
In succession and winning a large percent
age of these contests. Radbourne was an
artist at "change of pace." He could turn
loose terrific speed when he wanted to, but
he liked a slow curve ball the best and the
way he controlled It was a marvel In Us
way.
Whitney and Bufflnirton.
It was about this time that the Boston
club had two great pitchers in Big Jim
Whitney and Charley Bufflngton. Whitney
came to the Hub from California. He was
tall and lanky, and the fans soon called
him "The Grasshopper." But he could
pitch, and speed was his chief stock In
trsde. In those days (1883) a pitcher could
take a sort of hop, step and jump in order
to get momentum before delivering the
ball, and Whitney, with his long legs and
preliminary movements, was able to soak
the ball to his catcher with frightful power.
He used up both Mike Hlnes and Martie
Hackett, his backstops, that year, but he
puzzled the best batters in the National
league. Bufflngton hailed from Fall River.
He had the best drop ball ever seen up to
that time, and it was many years before
his equal in this respect was unearthed.
The Chlcagos, under Anson, had some
great pitchers, too, after Spalding retired.
Among them were Larry Corcoran, Gold
smith, Jim McCnrmlck and John Clarkson.
Corcoran was built on Clark Griffith's lines
and looked very much like the New York
Americans' popular manager.- He was a
cool, -deliberate sort of a fellow, with all the
qualities of a good boxman. Goldsmith was
more rugged, and was, therefore, able to
stand more hard work. So was Jim Mc
Cormlck, who lives over in Paterson now
and still loves to talk of the triumphs of
the dim past. Clarkson was a alar in 1887
when the Chicago club sold him to Boston
for tlO.OOO. Ho had better control of the
ball than any man in the profession at
that time, with ths possible exception of
Tim Keefe, and it was only on rare occa
sions that he had an off day. The memor
able struggle-for the pennant between New
York and Boston In 188v. when Keefe and
Clarkson were the pitching stars of the
profession, will always be memorable inci
dents In base ball history.
Buneh of Good Oaes.
Charley Ferguson of the Philadelphia
club was still another star. He was not
only a crack pitcher, but one of the most
accomplished general utility men in the
country. Bobby Matthews, a little man
with wide curves, earned a place in the
hall of baae ball fame twenty years ago.
"Gentle Jeems" Galvln of Buffalo and Pitts
burg, a magician in the points, cannot be
overlooked here, neither can "Lady" Bald
win, the champion Petrolta' star lefthander,
and Tom Ramsey of Louisville, another
celebrated southpaw. Dupee Shaw, left
handed, waa one of the first pitchers to use
the "wind up" motion of the arm before
delivering the ball, and ble antics caused j
much merriment and god-nauird Joshing
wherever he appeared. lie played with
several of the leading teams, Inrludlng De
troit, and was a member of the Boston
t'nlons In W4 when they were under the
management of Tim Murnane. Murnnne
played first base for theInlons and picked
up some players off the lots In the Hub that
became famous afterward. Among them
was Ed Crane, "the human cannonball,"
who pitched for the New Yorks In 18 snd
1ss9 with sensational success. In 1889 Keefe
and Mickey Welsh fell down In the world's
series with the Brooklyn."", champions of
the American association, but Crane and
Hank O'Day, now the best umpire on the
National lengue stnff. pulled the New Ynrks
out of a deep hole nnd the honors went to
the polo grounds as a result of their skill.
Some of the tetter atars.
Silver King, Uobby Caruthers. Pave
Fouls. Mark Baldwin. Kd Morris, Jack
Lynch, John McMahon. Bill Hutchinson and
Henry Boyle were other noted pitchers In
the old days who should be mentioned here,
and coming after them were such experts
as Charley Nichols. Pink Hawley, Jouctt
Meekln, Amos Rusle and others of more re
cent date. Rusle was pronounced In 1894
"the best pitcher that ever lived." "He had
lightning speed, swift, sharp curves and
the aim of a marksman. His skill was
natural, for he needed few If any pointers
from pitchers of more experience. Tim
Keefe introduced Amos to the "slow ball"
In 1893 and the big Hoosier was delighted
with It. Rusle has never been excelled In
the opinion of good. Judges hut a majority
of base ball men nowadays believe thst
Mathewson Is bis equal. What Rusle would
have been with the present foul strike rule
In vogue Is a question that can never be
answered, but it Is safe to say that had
Mathewson been in harness during Rusle's
reign the present star of McGraw's team
would not have been able to keep pace with
Amos without the foul strike, which has
made stars out of really ordinary twirlers.

a suit has been brought in the New York
supreme court by Secretary Murray Howe
of the Memphis, Tenn., racing association
for the return of the gold championship
cup awarded him by that association when
with Major Delmar he defeated Lou Ulllon
In October, 1904, today recovered posses

J7.WK) with Sheriff Hayes. The cup had
been taken on a writ of replevin secured
by Secretary Howe. Mr. Smathers will re

settlement of the suit against him for Its
return to the Memphis Racing association.
The rules committee of the National
Trotting association, which was in session
todny, preparing the program for the
association s biennial congress, beginning
tomorrow, took no action on the Memphis
matter, and it is said to be unlikely that
the congress would do so.
The members consider, and several of
them have told Mr. Smathers that the
time since Mr. Howe filed his suit and the
beginning of the congress, only a week,
was altogether short for a fair Investiga

action. If any, will therefore come before
the board of review, which will meet In

BASE BALL COMMISSION MEETS
Petitions of am her of Players for
Reinstatement nejeptetl.
NEW YORK. Feb. 13. The National Base
Ball commission wss In session In this
city today and considered the cases of a
number of players, most of whom were
seeking reinstatement to clubs acting un
der the national agreement. In nearly
every instance adverse decisions were ren
dered. In the case of Right Fielder Sebrlng of
the Chicago Nationals, who Jumped his
contract to assume the management of
the Willlnmsport club of the Trl-Stato
league, the commission decided to give
Sebrlng twenty days In which to submit
a defense of the charge of contract Jump
ing. The commission was informed that
Sebrlng was endeavoring to sign nnd In
some cases had actually signed players
working under the national ugieer.ieni to
contracts with clubs not under the agree
ment snd he was given the time- noted
to present his side of the case. The Chi
cago club was Informed of the action taken.
Pitcher Ritchie of the Holyoke (Mass.)
club made a personal application to the
commission to have set aside Ills sale to
the Brooklyn Nationals. Tho application
1 roved to be something of a boomerang,
as the commission decided that he was a
contract Jumper and was Ineligible to play
with any club under the national agree
ment. Pitcher Riesling, formerly of the Brook
lyns, sought to be reinstated, but the com
mission decided against him.
Outfielder John F. Hagan. who Jumped
the Baltimore club to play with the York
team appeared personally to urge re
instatement. This was denied him also,
but the commission decided that In this
case there were extenuating circumstances
and he was granted the right to renew
his petition at the end of the present sea
son without prejudice.
The commission Imposed a fine of $25
on the Columbus (O.) club for violating
the rules In selling Catcher Brown to Bos
ton when he had already been drafted by
Cleveland.
The claim of the Memphis club against
the New York Nationals for $750, the pur
chase price of Shortstop Charles Bahb,
was disallowed. Babb Is now manager
of the Memphis team.
The commission deferred taking action
In the case of the New York Nationals
against the Memphis club In the matter
of exhibition dates. The New Yorks had
made a date for an exhibition game on
March 25 next. Subsequently It Is learned
that the New York dub will not be able
to play In Memphis on that date.
A contract was made In the meantime
by Memphis to play an exhibition game
with Philadelphia of the American league.
The New Yorks object to the American
leaguers entrenching on their training
grounds.
The Joint rules committee of the Ameri
can end National league will meet tomor
