H H i i i Jimmy McAleer, New Leader of Red Sox. Jimmy McAleer, the new leader of the Boston American league club, fig- ures on speed and slugging to win this year's pennant. McAleer is quite optomistic of his team. “I expect to see Stahl, Hooper, Bpeaker, Wagner, Lewis and Carrigan batting more than' .300,” he sald. “Yerkes may come through, too, with a higher averags at bat. With Hoop- er, Speaker and Stahl, not to mention some of the youngsters, tearing around the bases, I think Boston has an ex- cellent chance for the banner.” Mullin’s Don’ts for Young Pitchers Don't try to pltch without first getting control. Don’t Imitate—be natural. Don'’t try to bean the batters. Don’t lose your nerve. Don’t forget that there are eight others In the game. Don’t think because you are young the other players are pulling agalnst you. Don't fall to cover first base. Don’t blame Individual players if they lose a game. Don’t try to strike out all the batters. Don't fall to watch older pitchers at work.

Many and quaint are the supersti- tlons existing among coal miners and each of them is respected by the wise mine owner. For example, it is an old-established custom in the mines in the north of England and South Wales to close down a mine for one day when a man is killed in the workings. In some mines the closing day after a fatal ac- cident is the day of the funeral, but more usually it lu the day after the Rccident. In some mines it is considered an omen of {ll luck for a miner to carry his lantern in his left hand; and in others, curiously enough, it is regard- ed as unlucky to carry the lantern in the right hand. One of the oldest customs among miners is that known as “parting.” When a batch of miners in England Bet to work on a new seam, or cutting, for the first time the first miner to strike the coal with his pick leaves a bit of the clothes he is wearing at the place where he strikes the first blow. A miner always tears a bit out of his coat or trousers for this purpose, and In mining districts where this custom prevails, you may see many wearers of clogs going about with several torn patches in their clothes, telling of the number of times they have fulfilled the custom of parting in the mine. It Is considered unlucky to have such rents in cloths mended. Every miner on taking on work at a mine in the north of England receives » cardboard leaf, containing the regu- lations prevailing at that particular mine, which he must scrupulously ob- serve. It is considered an unlucky thing for a miner to lose this card, and In many miners’ homes you may see the regulation card hanging on the wall in a glass frame. FATE OF THE OLD CHURCHES Elghteen From New York City Have Been Sold and Moved to Small Towns. Eighteen stone churches which were on Manhattan Island from twenty-five to two years ago are now scattered over New York state, New Jersey and Connecticut, says the New York Sun. These structures were taken down to make room for mercantile buildings. The congregations moved uptown and built new edifices. The old buildings were sold and the buyers took them down, <arefully numbering each stone and making full detailed drawings for sale with the materials to prospective purchasers, There is & good market for second band churches taken down hereabout and that can be moved by low cost | water carriage to places within two bundred miles. Old New Yorkers Journeying upstate, through New Jer- sey or in Connecticut often come upon & church that looks familiar, and on making inquiries find that the build- Ing formerly stood on Manhattan Is- land and after being taken to a new site was sand-blasted so as to give the stone a fresh appearance, In the last dozen years an enormons business has been done in taking down brownstone houses in Manhattan and re-erecting them in many places. One fine facade by a famous architect of Bixty years ago is in Boston, another In New Haven and a number are in New Jersey cities. More than a thous- and fine brownstone houses were taken down in Manhattan last year and the stone and a good deal of the timber were worked into houses and apart- ment houses, hotels and halls within & tundred miles of this city. But One Distinction. Mrs. J. G. Phelps Stokes (Rose Pastor) said in a recent address in New York, apropos of eeruln dishon- est financial methods: “They tell & story about a man of this type. It appears that, as he got snatched a silk handkerchief from the pocket of his sable-lined overcoat. “The millionaire grabbed the thief and looked around for a police officer. Then the -thief, squirmingly in his grasp, said: “‘Ah, let me go! Come on now, let e go. Arter all, boss, the only difference between you and me is that you're makin’ your sixth or seventh million while 'm still workin’ on my first.’ " Very Solemn Thought.
