TOOK OFF BABY BLUE SHIRT “WHd” BHI Donovan Cheats Bastball Weriters Out of Paragraph by Duffing Under Garment. Bfll Donovan cheated the quill-fak- ors out of a paragraph in a recent game with the Champion Athletics. “Wild” Bill Donovan. season Bill has been wearing & by blue undergarment. The wires awere all laid to announce, in case Bfll went bad at his first appearance, that “he had nothing but a blue under shirt.” But Bfll doffed the shirt be- fore he started to hurl. Bill's 1911 debut was not an aus- picious one. Philadelphia players %ook an early fancy to his curves. )Anyway, the Athletics were certainly Hn a hitting mood and Bill suffered fwhat other Tiger pitchers encoun-| Itered. ~ Jimmy Sheckard is having the best year of his career, and he is like wine —he gets better with age. Jack Coombs of the Athletics {s making up lost time. He is trying to win every game he pitches. Boston Red Sox are again being | shaken up.

CARDINALS WILL BEAT REDS 8o Says Manager Roger Bresnahan of 8t. Louls Nationale—Has Con- fidence in His Men. Manager Roger Bresnahan of the Cardinals says that his club is going to come close to beating the Cincin- natis out in the National league race. Bresnahan thinks that his club would Roger Bresnahan. have finished much higher last season had “Slats,” Sellee, his star southpaw, not been “in dutch” for several weeks. Sallee {s admittedly as good as any southpaw the league has seen in years when he {8 on his good behavior. “Slats” has one of those “I-don’t-care” dispositions and frequently has run- ins with his manager.

The rest of the St. Louls pitchers are strong, according to Manager | Bresnahan.” He looks for Harmon to have a great season, and -Bob has a rattling good start. Steele, “Bres” says, is going to be a wonder, and Guyer, Golden .and Laudermilk will win a bunch of games. Bresnahan says that Golden is the “king hard luck pitcher of baseball.” Golden has won but one game to date ynd has been beaten seven times. The Cardinals have fafled to tally in three of these seven defeats, while Golden has held his opponents to less than three runs just five tiries.

Mordecal Brown continually demon- strates he is the nervy pitcher of old. Every time the ball meets that bat it adds to the enjoyment of the game.

FIRST COURT TEST| A Patamentay doke by o ow goutn | (Continued lrom Page 1.) with the present affair are laughable in the extreme,” tor. ( “It is a fact that I have recelved a liberal offer, from the mmanager of one of the best vaudeville circuits in the United States, that, whether I am held to the grand jury at the Wednesday hearing or not, and have my 1iiberty thereafter, I do a fifteen- minute stunt of talking on the cir- cuit; and I am assured all the com- forts of first-class hotels and free- om from embarrassment of any kind. Surely, I like to be popular, but this is the kind of notoriety that I do.not covet. Sorry for His Parents. “For myself I am not in the least worried or disturbed by this affair, and I will come out of it with flying colors, but the shock to my father and mother is what I am really sorry for. My father never had a lawsuit in his life, and was never even a witness in court, and to be compelled to come up here and as- sist me in defending myself against a charge of arson and safe blowing is certainly astonishing, to say the least. “However, when it is all over, and the officials who have asserted they |’ have proof of my guilty fail to make good, I will have won additional friends in this section, and my rela- tives will be releaved of a great load of worry and trouble.” " Frederic Dumas, who 1s a heavy ‘| stockholder in the W. S. Nott com- pany of Minneapolis, met numerous friends nere, and while he talked some of the charges lodged against his son, in the main said but little. He declared emphatically that he be- lieved his son was not guilty of the serious crime lodged against him; in fact knew that he was innocent, and that he would remain here and at Cass Lake until after the hearing Wednesday. “Simply a job put up on the boy by his political enemies,” said Mr. Dumas. i i BUYING A VASE. Wertheimer’s Clsver Coup by Which He Secured ths Prize. The late Charles Wertheimer when asked on ope occasion what he cousid- ered to be his astutest business coup thought for awhile and then told how once when he was walking through a Brighton square he espied througu an open window what he Epew to be a priceless Chinese vasg. He went to the nearest postoffice, examined a local directory and fownd the name of the resident. Then he called and asked for the gentleman and was shown into the study under the name of “Hamilton.” He briefly explained that he was look- ing for a modest house in Brighton and bad taken a fancy to this one. Would the gentleman entertain an of- fer for the place as it stood—*"lock, stock and barrel?" The owner, a little nonplused, hesi- tated. “It your offer is reasonable,” inter- rupted Hamilton, *1 will give you an extra thousand.” 7 “Call tomorrow at 10:30, then,” re- plied the owner. Hamiiton did and found him pre pared to accept £15.000 for the twenty- two years' unexpired term and the con- tents of the residence. Although this was well over market value, Hamilton at once closed, adding the extra thousand. according to prom- ise. As. however, he afterward sold the vase for £35.000, bis coup was un- mistakable.—L.ondon ‘'elegraph. WHISTLER THE FIGHTER." The Artist Always Took His Revenges In a Refined Way. ,In “Whistler as 1 Knew Him” Mor- timer Menpes, the author. has a good deal to say about Whistler the fight- er and his quickness in resenting an affront. He is careful to add that Whistler was always refined in his methods: While he was severe he was not ac- tually brutal. He never treated his enemies in a coarse way. Any man who had offended him Whistler would rap sharply over the shoulders with his cane, and then by the time the sufferer had recovered the master ‘would be in the next room explaining to every one how be had just felled bis enemy. Once he caught a man with whom hé was for the moment enraged wash- ing his face. Without a moment's hesitation Whistler dashed the unfor- tunate head straight into the basin of ‘water,-and while the foe was endeav- oring to clear the soap from his eyes to see the cause of this sudden immer- sion Whistler was in the smoking room setting the men there in a roar with the account of his adventures. When I first met Whistler he was in the act of gearching for a man who bhad dared to criticise his Venetian etchings. “If you want to see some fun, Menpes.,” he said, “come with me.” Fortunately the man bad been ‘warned and was nowhere to be found.

Australia once had a. great public Joke, which was played openly in the New South Wales state parliament by & member who afterward became at- torney general. A bill had been introduced to pro- tect native flowers from ruthless de- struction, The honorabie member up- rose and sympathized. He informed the introducer of the bill—a somewhat pompous gentleman—that he heartily approved. But why these invidious distinctions? The bill- protected—and be quoted all the botanical names in the bill. But why were other flowers equally deserving neglected? Why were—and here he reeled off a-long list of the Latin names for cockles. mussels, oys- ters, etc.—why were these sweet flow- ers to be blighted in their bloom by being plucked by any prowling excur- sionist who wanted something in his buttonhole? The introducer of the bill promptly offered to extend the list to include these. So half the shellfish on the coast, Including the periwinkle, were added to the flowers worthy of protec- tion. The officials of the.house discovered the hoax next day and set it right. But the joke was too good to be kept quiet, and all Australia chuckled at the expense of the pompous legislator. —London Answers. ' DON'T. MIND, BIG NOISES. But Slight, Rustling Sounds Make Gi- raffes Tremble With Fear. Among tbe curious characteristics of the giraffe is its strange indifference to loud noiscs as contrasted with its peculiar “scariness” with reference to slight sounds. Noisy. sounds, like that of a man walking near in hobnailed boots, the giraffe does not appear to uotice, but should it be approached by a woman whose skirts give out but the slightest rustle the sound thereof causes the glraffe to start up with pricked ears and eyes distended in fear, Officials of a zoological Institution, situated near a canal, tell of a curious instance of this peculiarity of giraffes. After a terrible explosion of gunpow- der on a barge on the canal the keep- ers were astonished to observe that the giraffes took little notice of the tremendous blast. They jumped to their feet. but almost at once lay down again when they found that nothing extraordinary ‘had happened in their inclosure. But were a keeper at night to creep along outside that inclosure in his stocking feet the queer beasts would exhibit such terror that one would imagine them about to dash themselves in terror against the fences. Giraffes fear the lurking foe, and a big bang scares them hardly at all. To { them the faint, rustling sound is a to- ken of the greatest danger. In that | respect tbey are like deer.—New York Press. Many Things Different In Holland. Holland is to me one of the most in- teresting countries in Europe, writes | George R. Sims. Apart from the ex- citement of having to do a bit of Blondin, with the edge of a canal for your tight rope, at intervals of a few i minutes all day long, the Dutch them- { selves furnish you .never ending study. I love to see the little Dutch boy of six smoking his clay pipe or his cigar as he clings to his mamma’s skirt. There is something at once novel and startling in tinding Dutch cheese and a penny bun placed in front of every guest at the breakfast table. In a land where a public company is a Maatschappij and nearly every house of restauration announces that the thirsty traveler can there obtain *“Tap- perij, Slitterij and Slemp,” there is al- ‘ways something to amuse you. Oath of the Turkish Doctor. The oath which young doctors take in Turkey when they come before the medical examining board contains the following pledge: *That when I am called at the same time by two differ- ent patients. the one rich and the other poor, I will accept the call of the poor without taking into consideration the money offered and will do my best for his treatment, and that 1 will never de- cline to answer any call, day or night, during the'reign of common diseases or of an epidemic of contagious dis- ease.” Keesping His Word. “Henry, you owe me $5.
