Wiltse allowed orly three hits dur- ing the remainder of the game, but as two of these were bunched in the seventh inning, it was enough o lose the game.

HARLEY PARKER JOKE VICTIM Umpire Harley Parker was the vic- tim of a practical joke played on him by Vice-President Sherman when the ‘White Sox were meeting the Senators recently in Washington. Parker was sitting in the lobby of the Driscoll hotel chatting with friends. An officer from the United States senate came into the hotel and began “looking them over.” “Is there & man named Parker?” inquired the officer. “That's my name,” replied the star- tled baseball official. “Is it the um- pire you want?” “You are the fellow I am looking for,” replied the officer. “I have a warrant here for you.” “Well, I guess there is nothing for me but to go with you,” replied Parker. . i . The officer of Uncle Sam marched the unsuspicious arbitrator up to the desk of Vice-President Sherman in the senate, the most august assem- blage in the United States. “I guess I've got your man at last,” eald the officer as he introduced Um pire Parker to the vice-president of the United States. “I sent for you to infuire about that play when Germany ‘Schaefer went back to first after stealing second the other day,” explained “Sunny Jim,” and Parker drew a big sigh of relief. It was just like eating ple for Park- er to explain the play and he did so to the satisfaction of all concerned. Bherman admitted the play bothered him more than any problem that had come up in the extra session of con- gress and that was going some. s - RUNTS AMONG LEAGUE STARS Many Leading Players Today Are Short In Stature—More Midgets Than Eve “Give the little boys a chance.” Can we ever forget that small poem of our Fourth Reader days. Ap- ply it to baseball and think of the heart pangs of the little fellows of by-gone days who were turned away by the big league managers with the statement: “You're all right, but too Manager Bobby Wallace. i small to make good In fast company.” Times innumerable has that remark blasted the hopes of some promising player who was given the cold shoul- der because he did not weigh so-and- 80 or was not of such-and-such a height. The scene seems to be changing, however. The season of 1911 saw more midgets performing in the big leagues than ever before. And they were not the ‘weak members of the teams with which they played. On the contrary, some of them were the stars of their clubs. In almost every position on the dia- mond the little fellows were repre- sented by some star. Some of them are: Outfieldi—Josh Devore, New York Giants; Birdile Cree, New York Yankees; Tommy Leach, Pittsburg. Second base—Mliller Hugglns, Car- dinals; Knabe, Philadelphia Nation- als. Shortstop—Manager Bobby Wal- lace, St. Louls Americans; Hauser, Cardinals; Owen Bush, Detroit. Third base—Bobby Byrne, Pitts- burgh Pirates; Elberfeld, Washing- ton. Pltcher—Jack Warhop, New York Yankees. Catcher—Jimmy Stephens, St. Louls Americans. Every one of these is a bona fide midget star. Can't Stop Sheckard.’ Referee Time is having a dreadful flurry counting out Jimmy Sheckard of the Cubs. For three seasons ex- pectant fans have been looking for the fatal toll to start, but each year James bobs up brighter, fresher and more capable than ever. Sheckard 18 still one of the best lead-off men fn baseball. Some time back in baseball history Chicago handed Brooklyn four or five players for this star.

Grover Cle Manager Charles Dooin of the Phil- s declares that he has the greatest young pitcher in the National league in the person of young Alexander, the recruit. ! This young Alexander is supposed to possess a finer assortment of de- celvers than any other youngster in he game. His fast one 18 the most deceptive, according. to Manager Dooin, and the red-haired boss will take oath that this jumps anywhere from fourteen_ to fifteen Inches. An exaggeration?

The announcement that James Mc- Aleer might get a eontrolling interest in the Washington club was greeted with general approval over the Amer- ican league circuit. Cincinnati asked walvers on Larry McLean and all clubs said “Sure.” But Larry will remain a Red; it was just to show him that he’s not tbe back- bone of the national game. One of the records claimed by the Henderson team of the Kitty league for the season, was three consecutive shut-outs over Fulton. The scores were 1 t0 0, 5 to 0 and 4 to 0. Kentucky sporting blood was stirred in the post-season series between Par- is and Shelbyville in the Blue Grass league. A purse of $1,000 a side was proposed for a series of five games. Husk Chance, while driving his new auto from Boston to New York, put on a little too much epeed and was held up by a real constable. It cost the Cubs’ leader a five spot to square accounts. Phililes. says it 1s an actual fact that the fast one of his youngster jumps more than a foot. . Alexander {sn’t exactly built on the endurance order, and yet he has al- ways had the reputation of being a pitcher who could do a lot of work in a season. Last year he was with the Syracuse team of the New York State league. He pitched 46 games in that league. Alexander s a youngster, being but twenty-three years old. He is a west- erner, his home being in St. Paul, ‘|ing a certain depth, FERGUSON EXPLAINS (Continued- from first page). seen that Detective J. C. Fielding, Sherifft Hazen and Deputy Sheriff Helmer were either in this city on a ‘| wild goose chase or directed attention to garner information that might lead to evidence in the Dumas case, now in progress in Bemidji. Says No Yeggs Were There. “No yegg meeting was broken up and no Davis was arrested, Friday evening the detectives stated to the local police that the contemplated coup had been tipped off and blamed Patrolman C. E. Keller for notifying employes at the Hutchins place. “Patrolman Keller Friday evening denied that he had -tipped anything off and stated emphatically that he know nothing to tip off. Yesterday four different affidavits were made each one deposing that C. E. Keller had said absolutely nothing to Harry Hutchins or his bartenders, as was alleged, regarding the whereabouts of Davis.” “An Exehange of Complimenta. A charming story is told of P'asteur, the scientist, and Vietor Duruy, who was minister of public instruction un- der the second empire. The author of the “Histoire des Romains” was a great friend of Pasteur. Moreover. they were near neighbors, one residing In the Rue d'Ulm and the other in the Rue de Medicis. One Thursday, the day of the sittings of the academy, the two friends met at a cab stand by the Luxembourg. “Are you going to the institute?" asked the minister. “Yes," unswered the savant, and they bothk entered the same cab. Arrived at theit Journey’s end, Duruy tendered a five franc plece to the cabman, who, of course, had no change. Then sald Duruy: “Keep the coin as a souvenit of this memorable ride. You have driven the greatest savant of the cen- tury.” Next came Pasteur’s turn. He put his hand in his pocket and with- drew a five franc plece, which he handed to the “cocher” with the re- mark: “Take care of it. You have driven the greatest minister of the sec ond empire.”—London Globe. When Kurds and Turkomans Fight. Describing a feature of a fight be tween Turkomans and Kurds in Per- sia, a traveler says; “The Turkomans, who always fight on foot, were ulti mately defeated with heavy loss, and many prisoners were taken, and still more captives were released. Among the Turkoman prisoners was an old man of ninety, who said that he had Joined the expedition in order to se- cure a new wife. ‘The damsel in ques- tion came up during the interrogatory and brained her captor with a stone. During these raids, past and present. the Turkoman appeared to have en- Joyed a great and permanent advan. tage In that neither Kurd nor Persian ever carried off their women or. chil- dren owing to their -ugliness. The Turkomans, on the other hand, pre- ferred Persian to their own women and thus bad a keen incentive, apart from the purely commercial aspect, to "engage. in these forays, in which no mercy was ever shown to the aged or weary.”—Chicago News. The Trade Winds. The constancy of trade winds is due to the permanence of the conditions which rule them. As the heated air at the equator ascends surface winds set in from north and south and, uniting, ascend in their turn and flow off in opposite directions. As the velocity of the earth’s revolution from east to west is much greater at the equator than at the poles, wind blowing along its surface to the equator is constantly arriving at places which have a higher velocity than itself; hence it is retard ed and must lag behind, and under the influence of two opposing forces it is compelled to take an intermediate di- rection, so that what was originally a north wind is deflected and flows southwest, while what started as a south wind becomes northwest. From the great service they have rendered to navigation these reliable winds are called trade winds. His Black Suit. He was not a good card player. He admitted it. His game was pingpong. But that was no reason why his part- ner should be so disagreeable when- ever he made mistakes. After a particularly giaring error the pestering partner turned upon him with real anger. “Why didn't you follow my lead?" he asked. “If I followed anybody’s lead, sir,” exclaimed ' the novice ,hotly, “it cer- tainly wouldn’t be yours.” His partner snorted and subsided. But in the next hand he threw down his cards in desperation. “Look here,” he cried; “didn’t you Bee me call for a spadé or club? Have you no black suit?” “Yes.. | have,” retorted the novice, with warmth. “But I'm keeping it for your funeral.” Center of the Earth. If a shaft were sunk vertlcally to the center of the earth and an object suspended from a spring balance were lowered down the shaft the weight of the object. as indicated by the dial of the balance, would at first increase as the descending object approached the deeper and denser strata. After pass- however, the weight would begin to diminish, and it would continue to diminish to the center of the earth, where its value would be zero, because the object] would there be equally attracted in every direction. Bright Child. “How long has your daughter been studying art?” “Flve years, and she has made great progress. She can talk about motifs and atmosphere and such things in such & way as to make you think she knows pe:fectly well what she means.” et e 4. e+ tu Million, In some public schools where lnrge halls are avallable an effort has been made to realize the meaning of a mil- Hon. They secure 100 large sheets of paper, each about four feet six inches square, ruled In quarter inch squares. In each alternate square a round black wafer or circle is placed, a little overlapping the square, thus leaving an equal amount of white space be- tween the black spots. At each tenth spot a double width is left so as to separate each hundred spots, ten by ten. Each sheet then holds 10,000 spots, each horizontal or vertical row contalning 1,000. One hundred such sheets contain, of course; a million spots, and they would occupy a space 450 feet long In one row or ninety feet long In five rows, so that they would entirely cover the walls of a room about. thirty feet square and twenty-five feet high from floor to cening, allowing space for doors, but not for windows.

The Longest Fast. 3 The record for fasting, so far as ou best information goes, I8 held by Graine, a French murderer, who de- termined to starve himself to death and from day to day after his arrest rvefused to eat. In spite of every effort on the part of his keepers, who first tried to tempt him fo eat by placing the most dainty meals in his cell and when that . failed attempted feeding him by force, he held out for sixty- three days, at the end of which period hedied. With the exception of Graine’s case the longest well authenticated In- stance of fasting on record is that ac- complished by Glovanni Succi, who lived at the Royal Aquarium, London, York American.
