SPORTS OF TI—IE DAY . PICKS WHITE SOX Former Manager Fielder A. Jones, former manager of the Chicago White Sox, and now a resident of Portland, Ore., was asked the other day to express an opinion on the outcome of the American league race, and the chances of his former teammates in ° the pennant chase. “Philadelphia should repeat in a walk, with Detroit as a possible con. tender for a portion of the season,” sald Jones. “The Athletics as just as strong as last year and should win again as handily. New York looks to be good for third place, while Cleve- land and Boston will fight it out for T0 FINISH SEVENTH Flelder A. Jones. ton, with Walter Johnson, ought ta) get sixth position, while the White Sox I place at seventh, unless St. Louis shows a greater improvement than I believe possible. shy on pitchers, and the American league race will be a pitchers’ battle again this season. “In the National league Chicago and| New York will fight it out, with Cin.! contender 11| cinnati as a possible Griff's bad actors behave.” Devore Leads Giants. | Devore is leading the Giants at the; bat in a double sense—leads off and fourth and fifth positions. Washing- Saier looks better every time he plays. Frank Schulte hns forgotten how to rap out the homers. The Athletics gradually are working their way toward the top. Young Corban seems to share the faveritism of the fans with Bodie. Teams may win and teams may lose, but the Tigers go on forever. And like Ingerton, Luderrus is smit- ing the sphere most lustily for those Phillies. Beck of Cincinnati joined Joe Jack- son's “Home Run With the Bases Full” club. Cleveland setured three of the best recruit pitchers of the years. Gregg, Knapp and West. Nothing but a raflroad wreck can stop the Tigers if they keep up their present whirlwind pace. Davey Jones of the Tigers thinks that Dick Padden is one of the great- est fleld generals that ever lived. The Senators are geing to make a strong bid for the top of the second division in the leagne this season. In spite of Meloan's refusal to sell the bat with which cdie made four hits in one game Ping ke ps on “ping- ing.” has the most hits. Evidently 1911 is to be a kigh bat ting average year. ’ Paul Meloan appears to have re gained his batting eye. Boston Red Sox appear to be anoth: er surprise of the season. Pretty soon the Cub team will nof be recognized by its old adherents. Baseball past performances usually are as reliable as.those of the ponies. Most followers of the game are past all surprise when those two get| together. President Hedges of the Brownl 1a trying to land some of the Detroit players again. The Phillies are leading the league in long hits, as well as leading in the percentage column. Josh Devore, the Giant left fielder, says he is going out after the base- stealing record this season. Catcher Crisp, who was sold to the Topeka club of the Western league by the Browns refused to go there. Jim McQGuire's career as a managcr 1n the big league was not an enjoyable on'e cither at Boston or in Cleveland. Bill Bradley, the old-time Nap third baseman, is going fine for the Toronto ; team. He is flelding as well as ever, and making two hits a day. Thackeray’s Disfigured Nose. The usual account of how Thack- eray was disfigured says that Venables broke the novelist’s nose in a fair | fight. John Ward in Notes and Que- | ries supplies another version. About | a year after Thackeray’s death Mr. Ward was traveling on one of the main railways and had as companidns two old ladies who knew Thackeray well. One of them sald the novelist had told them this story: “Being one of the youngest pupils (at Charterhouse), he was chosen by one of the older lads, 'a rather proud aristocrat in his way, to act as his fag. Thackeray bore it as well a§ he could, but demurred to some more ar- | bitrary command than usual and flatly | refused to obey, whereupon the young | ‘aristocrat’ caught Thackeray up, held | his head under his arm and with the heel of his boot used as a hammer | beat the beautiful aquiline nose quite flat with his face—in fact, breaking and Injuring its structure completely— | the excuse being, ‘You'll clean my} boots next time, sir.’ " Before his injury Thackeray was, the same authority says, remarkably handsome.—Westminster Gazette. Won His Supper. Terry is of that class of gentry | whose nimble wit is the only thing which keeps them from starving in’ this day of practicalities. Terry is a great coffee drinker, and many are the | expedients he will undertake to get it | When he is without funds. The other evening he walked into a cafe and said to the proprietor: “Good evening, Mr. M.” “How are you, Terry?’ was the re- sponse. “Pretty good, pretty good, barrin’ a bad t'roat. It's glad I am to see yer- self lookin’ so smart and yer doin’ so well in yer business, now, ain’'t yer? It’s glad I am, too, about that. By the way, Mr. M., would yer be afther trustin’ me this evenin'?’ “Trust .you! . Terry, 1 wouldn't be trustin’ my own father.” ed yer father as-well as you perhaps 1 | wouldn’t trust him meself!" And Terry got his coffee and rolls.— Chicago News. When Nature Was Timek In the British museum is a large stone composed of carbonate of llme, which would serve perfectly as a day Iaborer’s calendar inasmuch as it would indicate to him every Sunday and holi- day of the year, though not the day of the mouth. Moreover, the stone is an actual time record of the work done for a long period in an English coal mine, The “Sunday stone,” as it is called, was removed from a colliery drain, When the miners were at work the water running through the drain left a deposit colored black by ‘the coal dust, but when no work was belng done the water ran down clear and left a white deposit. These deposits in the course of time bullt up the stone. Each day of work left a black streak. Immedlately followed by a white streak made during the night. Wide' white streaks indicate the holidays and Sun- days.—Harper's Weekly. Back to Adam A parchment roll over a foot wide and nineteen feet long containing the genealogical tree of King Henry VI is In the Welsh National library at Aberystwith.

An English artist while palnting a sea plece discovered a badger's lair and thought to play the animal a practical joke. Gathering together a bundle of grass and weeds, he ‘placed it inside the mouth of the hole and, igniting it with a match, waited for the ignomini- ous flight of the astonished household- er. ‘But Master Badger was a resource- ful animal and not disposed to be mdde a butt of practical jokers. He came up from the depths of his hole as soon as the penetrating smoke told ises and deliberately scratched earth on the burning grass with his strong claws until all dinger was past. No human being could have grasped the situation more quickly or displayed greater skill in dealing with an un- familiar event. Building a Reputation. ‘Young physicians in the smaller |towns have an idea that appearing very busy will help them greatly in starting a practice. The following is told by a now prominent Kentucky physician. He had a call the after- noon following the hanging out of his shingle and started through town in his buggy at terrific speed. A police- man stopped the enterprising physi. clan.. “Doctor,” he sald, “it is against the |city ordinance to drive at the speed | you are going. You must accompany me to the judge and pay your fine.” “What is the fine?” inquired the doctor. “Five dollars.” The doctor’s hand flew to his pocket. “Here’s $10. 1 have to come back just as fast as I am going.”—8uccess Maga- zine.

The scroll of fame has variant at- trdctions for different minds. “Here lles one whose name was writ Iu water”—the despairing and dying John .Keats desired that admission of defeat engraved for his epitaph, “Write me as one who loved his fel- low men,” was Leigh Hunt's aspira- Hon.

Lake City, Fla, May 23.—Six ne groes were lynched here after a party of more than a dozen’'men, masquerad- ing as officers, appeared at the coun- ty jail and secured possession of them by presenting a forged telegram to the sixteen-year-old son of the sheriff, ordering the release of the blacks to the alleged posse officers. The negroes were being held here for safekeeping on the charge of murdering B. B. Smith of Wadsborough and wounding another man named Register on May 12, : The lynchers, who had come from Tallahassee to Lake City in automo- biles, took the blacks about a mile outside of Lake City, where they com- pelled them to stand abreast. Ten men then fired rifies and pistols at the negroes until every one of the six were riddled with bullets. Citizens at daybreak found the dead bodies just after the automobile containing the lynchers had left the scene. The plans of the Iynchers were dar- ing, though but for & combination of circumstances they probably .would not have been successful. The sherift of Columbia county was out of the city and left the jail in charge of the boy, who, aroused in the early hours of the morning, allowed the negroes to be taken from the jail without knowing the purpose of the mob. The telegram’ which the leader of the mob showed the boy was sup- posedly from the sheriff of Leon coun- ty and said that the sheriff had re- célved iIntimations that a mob- was belng formed in Tallahassee to take the negroes from the Lake City jail. The message ordered that the men be carried further south to frustrate the suspected mob. ' As the six negroes have been moved frequently, the boy thought the telegram authentic. Negro Preacher Lynched. Swainsboro, Ga., May 23—Ben Smith, a negro preacher, was lynched after he had shot his wife and fatally wounded Deputy Marshal Neal Cana- dy, who was called to the scene. A crowd pursued the negro, caught him ina swamp, hanged him and filled his body with bullets. This is the second lynching in Swainsboro within .ten days. Georgia Negro Lynched. Crawfordsville, Ga., May 23.—George Moore, the negro who confessed to having murdered Henry Googher, a wealthy farmer, Saturday night, was taken from the jail here and hange: to a tree by a mob.

Poor Thackeray. llr Willlam Howard Russell’s diary for April 1852, has this amusing glimpse of Thackeray: “The sportsmen among whom I had the honor to be numbered were of the ‘Winkle order. Thackeray, Dickens, John -Beech, Jerrold, Lemon, Ibbotson, were invited, and carriages were re- served to Watford. .As we were start- ing a written excuse was brought from Dickens to_be cohveyed to Mrs. X. by Thackeray. The party drove up to the house, and after compliments Thack- eray delivered the billet. The effect ‘was unpleasant. Mrs. X. fled along the hall, and the guests heard her call- ing to the cook: ‘Martin, don’t roast. the ortolans; Mr. Dickens isn’t coming.’ ‘!flmckeray sald he never felt 8o | small. ‘There’s a test of popnhrlty for you! No ortolans for Pendennis! " Hiring a Mother-in-law. In Marseilles the salary of a mother- in-law hired to fill the position for a few: hours is quoted at 1s. 6d. It was a case of separation of the girl’s par- ents. Custom decreed that the moth- er-in-law must be present at the mar- riage ceremony, so the obliging ma- tron agreed to go to give her consent on'condition that a carrlage be sent for her, and if not, said she, she: wounld stay at home. The hour for the wedding came, but the carriage did not, so. the mamma stayed at home. ‘The bridegroom in desperation when she did not appear ran out into the street and hunted up a promising look- Ingiwoman, who agreed to come and act mother for the sum named. So she gave consent and biessing to the daughter whom she had never seen in herife before.—Buffalo Express. The of the Sky?
