"They can all come and go," said
Jimmy McAleer, an ha sat In Ban John
ion's office In Chicago, - killing time,
"but: I . don't think the game will ever
see another playerln certain ways
like Jack Glasscock. He was distinc
tively one of the oddest characters who
ever - played around -a. -diamond!" and
the. duplicate, of Pebbly Jaok has yet
to show. '
"Glasscock .was a great shortstop, a
good batter and the meanest player who
ever wore the spikes. Me wanted to win
so badly that he would do anything to
Stop the opposition. Borne of his tricks
were lalapalooaas. ; If the umpire was
looking the other ; way. He'd throw a
handful 'of sand In your eyes. If you
slid Into the base It was right Into hla
spikes, blocking off the bag like a barb
wire fence. ,. When he shoved the ball
against you It was -for- business pur
poses, and you know all about It But
the' tricks he was best in were tricks
that were almost Impossible to see. As
you turned the base he would wander
accidentally, across your path, and you
would Instinctively slqw up to avoid
a collision. ; The fraction of a second
thus lost generally meant k putout At
the next station. If you went on ahead
he would take Just a pinch at your
trousers as you passed., That little nip
would throw you off your stride, and
unbalance you to such an extent that
yom would fall an easy victim to the
man at the next stand, who would be
waiting with the ball. , ' , "
"A great deal of the so-called rowdy
Ism and profanity of the old times was
really caused by such tricks as these.
When a man had been -put out aa 'the
result of such a dodge he would natur
ally express his opinion both of the of
fender and of the umpire who had failed
to see the play. Hence the air would be
dark blue and the papers the next day
would talk about another disgraceful
row. ' ' . " """'
"Once I saw Glasscock nip Burkett as
he passed and slow htm up so that the
third baseman nailed him: Imagine the
scene! Glasscock and Burkett. shower
ing each 'other with choice language,
and such language' as those two could
devise! Oh, but it was rich, and the
poor umpire had as much show to stop
them as he hadto fly!
"Players used to sharpen their spikes
for Fred Pfeffer," said Comiakey, "and
tell how they were going to cut him
up. yet when the slide was made ana
the putout was over and the men had
come to the bench we'd ask: "Why
didn't you cut him.' and the invariable
answer would be: 'Didn't get a chance!"
When Pfeffer touched you with the bail
he hit you hard, too. ; 1 '
"Yep," said Clarke Griffith, "I saw
him black Walter Wltmot's eye with
the ball one day, and .Walter was fatrly
wild. , He was going to' lay Tor rrea
after the game, but didn't catch htm."
"For ray part," said Comiskey, "I
never feared these spiking fellows. I'd
block them off first and take a'chance.
It's this way with blocking men: Al
though they may want to spike you;
they also want to get back to the base,
and that's their chief object Hence
they don't get enough leeway to make
their slide forceful or dangerous. Their
Spikes may cut the skin a little, but
do no harm."

SPOKANE AMATEURS
HOLD ANNUAL MEET
(Journal Special Serrlce.)
Spokane. Wash. Jan. 15. At the an
nual meeting of the Spokane Amateur
Athletic association this week President
Ware will recommend s change In the
directorate of the club that has for Us
object the better financing of affairs.
The recommendations .. will probably
conie up at a special meeting to be
called some time during the, year. The
changes' suggested by President Ware
will reduce the number of directors to
four and the president as against 14. as
at present Each member of the board
will be at the head of a certain com
mittee, the members of the committee
being picked from the members at large.
The house committee will be composed
of those Interested In social events, the
athletic committee of the athletes, and
these will confer with the chairmen Of
their respective committees on all mat
ters - pertaining to their departments.
This will-leave -the-nve-ofncer f-4he
club to conduct all the financial af
fairs, but the committee of the mem
bers will have a good deal to say aa
to the management of the club In other
details.
The question of admitting juvenile
&nd lady members of the club was dls
cuBsed and postponed until the special
meeting as at that time , the members
would be in a better position to know
what they could do In the new building.
A- C. "Ware, the present president, was

f Salem. , Or.; Jan. 15. The supreme
court has about caught up with all the
business demanding its. attention at this
time, and unless there Is a flood of ap
peal litigation coming up soon, the dcks
will be entirely, cleared in a short time.
There are now 14 cases In the hands
ef the court, arguments In which have
been submitted, and these will doubtless
be decided In a -few weeks. In addi
tion to these., cases there are live cases
now on the calendar to be argued within
the next two weeks, Including those set
for- hearing last evening, and there are
12 cases on the bar docket ready to be
set for hearing as soon- as the attor
neys are" prepared to have the dates
for ,!( -heating- fixed.'- ;.ybJ 'lav-aulta' at
boriirast" to "the ' state of Washington,
where the supreme court had fl cases
ready for trial on January 1 as1 soon"as
the court could give . them attention.
Such a state of affairs will probably not
exist In Oregon for a long time, as the
court as now organized, works rapidly
and is able to dispose of a large amount
of business In a very short time. . A
few , year ago, , however, things were
different For years the Oregon supreme
court was from 200 to 250' cases be
hind, and It took from two to two - and
one-half years for a case to come up for
final hearing 'And disposition after the
appeal Was taken. This was not speedy
justice, but the court could not help the
blockade. Efforts were several times
made to give relief by legislation - In
the Way of a supreme court commis
sion to hear cases, but it always failed.
Finally the legislature provided for ste
nographers for each of the justices and
with the aid of these the court soon
disposed of the accumulation of busi
ness. " Prior to that time many of the
decisions were written out by the court
in longhand.
The pi-esent Justices of the court,
Hons. F. A. Moore, R. 8. Bean and C E.
Wolverton, are hard workers and proba

than do any other like officials on the

following cases were set for trial dur

LINSON DISMISSED
ON LARCENY CHARGE
- (Journal Special Serrlce.)
Vancouver, Wash.. Jan. 15. The case
of the state of Washington against
Mike Llnson came up for trial before
the special jury yesterday and a verdict
was returned finding Llnson not guilty.
The case Of Gens Godel will be disposed
of today. , 'Llnson and Godel are the
men that were brought back from As
toria by Sheriff Biesecker on the charge
of having stolen certain blacksmith
tools from George McElroy.
It is claimed that they stole the tools
and sold them to certain second-hand
dealers In Portland, but It was hard
to get It through a jury's mind why
two men will go - several miles- and
steal tools that can be disposed of as
only old Iron - for not to exceed 34.60,
and the jury was the more disposed to
believe that Linson was not one of the
men on account of the inability of cer
tain witnesses to identify him in a posi
tive manner.
... . Paw for Sight of Way.
The Jury found In the condemnation
proceedings of- the county of Clarke
against Carl Grannlaunn that the later
Is-entitled to 3K2.60 for aright of way
for the county road through his prem
ises. Carl had Insisted on the right of
way being -worth about $600, but would
not talk with the county commissioners
for any price. Hence the condemnation
proceedings. The county road, it is be
lieved by every one- familiar with the
location, Is not only necessary for the
publlo good, but will greatly enhance
the value of the owner's premises and
it Is also believed he-Is realising a great
deal through the condemnation pro
ceedings. .
Coroner Investigates a Death.
The coroner was called suddenly from
Vancouver yesterday to Salmon creek,
to Investigate . the death of . P. Opper
mann, who was found dead at his farm
In that district. It was at first believed
that Oppermann had been knocked in the
head, at least that was the report made
to the coroner before he went out. The
body had lain several days, but the In
quest proved ' that there waa no foul
play; but the probability of having
dropped dead. The indications showed
that heart trouble must have been the
cause of his death.
