IDEAL TRAINING CAMP Managers of Big League Teams Differ on Question. Bome Like Qulet Places Where Theré Is Little to Divert Attentlon Players From Their Work— Others Favor Big Citles. of ‘What constitutes an ideal training camp for big league baseball tea Big league managers and players ter in their opinions. Some like ms? dif- the quiet places, where there is nothing to take the thoughts of the players off their work. where there are divertisements Others like the big towns, to break the monotony of training. Some also prefer the big towns because more money is taken in at the gate. Some managers like to change every year, so thelr players will get a change of scene. Many prefer a spot where the athletes may imbibe freely mineral waters. of In the latter class are the managers of at least five—Fred Clarke of P itts- burg, Bill Dahlen of Brooklyn, “Red” Dooin of Philadelphia and Jimmy Aleer of Boston. Of the five, all New York have picked Hot Spris Me- but ngs, ‘while the Giants have trained at Mar- Hn, Texas, for several seasons. The fact that the Giants and Pirates have been contenders for the pennant all the time they have trained at health resorts speaks well for their system. The Boston and Chicago Americans are the two clubs that have made cus trips of their training tours. cir- Co- miskey several times took his squad to the coast and once to Mexico, while the Red Sox twice went to California. Neither team obtained good results. In the opinion of Nap Lajoie, training camp combining the good qualities of Alexandria, La., and Ma- con, Ga., would be the ideal place. ‘Alexandria has the climate, the water and the hotel, but it lacks population and a good baseball diamond. The latter fault could be rectified, however, by the sending of a groundkeeper ahead of the team to get things in shape. But the town is small lacks amusements. Consequently and the players got mighty tired of it in a :Week or so, and their work see: med unusually onerous, especially as Man- ager McGuire was a stickler for that old old-style plan of having the play- ers walk some eight miles a day in ad. dition to their double workout. Again, ft was a case of “all going out and nothing coming in,” as the gate re- ceipts at Alexandria were practically nothing. Now, Macon has an even better cli- mate—that {s, from a training stand- point—in that it does not get so ex- tremely warm. Macon also is a much larger city, but unfortunately it lacks as good a hotel as is wanted by the big league clubs, who insist on the best. MURPHY SIZES UP TY COBB Fleld Captaln of Athletics Says There Never Was Player Llke Him— Can Do Anything. Danny Murphy has a boost for T. Raymond Cobb. Dan is apt to cen- sure the glittering Georgian for loaf- ing a mite when he looks like lying down on a fellow-player, but when it comes to the personal stuff it's aces and eights for Tyrus as far as Danny is concerned. Hear the manner in which the Athletics’ new field Na- poleon sizes up that Cobb person- age: “I don’t believe there was ever one lke him before, and I don't think Wwe'll ever see one like him again. “He can do anything. He hits, he throws, he fields, and he can run. A Ty Cobb. lot of the players in our league used to tell about his boneheaded rumning the bases. Well, let e tell you some- thing. He's 8o fast he can take chances all the time. There isn't a club in the league that don’t hate to see Cobb on first with one run needed by Detroit. He keeps the pitcher wor- rled, he has the team bothered, he has the catcher worried, and it’s al- most a cinch that he’ll get around. He's the greatest I ever saw.” Clark Grfffith may have another pitching star on his staff to be a fit side partner of Walter Johnson if Cashion, the Senators’ young twirler, comes up to his spring promise. | Everybody Is Doing I WHAT? in the world.

Newport News, Va., May 18— Greeted by a chorus of steam whistles and cheered on by an enthusiastic assemblage of 20,000 spectators, the 27,000-ton battleship Texas, twin gig- ter of the New York, building at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, glided from her ways today at the yards of the New- port News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock company. As the big vessel swept down te meet the water of the James River Miss Claudia Lyon, daughter of Col. Cecil Lyon, a wealthy ranch owner and Republican national committee- man for Texas, broke the traditional bottle of champagne and formall named the ship. Grouped about tLe sponsor on the official stand were numerous representatives of the state of Texas, together with Secretary Meyer and a number of other officiais of the navy department and 'hig}'x ol- ficers of the navy. The Texas is designed to be the largest and most formidable warship afloat. Her displacement is nearly four times as great as the old bai- tleship of the same name. Her total cost will be in the neighborhood of $14,000,000. She will be the Fint warship of the American navy to car- ry a battery of fourteen-inch zZuus Her contract calls for a speed of at least twenty-one knots an hour. ALDRICH IN THE OLD DAYS How the Author Appeared When He Had Just Become Editor of Atlantic Monthly. I can see him now, sitting at the round table at Oscar’s, holding a briar pipe that was dener between his fin- gers than in his mouth, and swinging it in graphic curves as he talked to us. He used it like a painter’s brush or pencil. He was dressed n a quiet sult of tweeds, the sobriety of which was re- leved by a flowing crimson scart gath- ered at the neck by an antique ring. He was partial to.crimson in those days, and it became his complexion and the light curls apostrophized by Bayard Taylor. We parted late and in a merry mood, the young fellows among us glorying in the new friend who was so witty, so suave, and so at- tentive to our ambitions and aspira- tlons. Moreover, Aldrich had just succeeded to the editorship of the At- lantic Monthly, and hopes arose of possible advantages lying for young suthors in that direction. “I'll have an elegy ready Yor him be- fore breakfast, and try to get ahead of Edgar,” said Frank Saltus, referring to Edgar Fawcett, as the lights went out in Oscar’s and we dispersed, and on the following morning he came to me, disgembling an air of despondency It's no use. Edgar’s beaten us all. He shipped a car load to the Atlantic by the fast freight before daylight— B8 per invoice, sonnets, ten bales; tri- olets, ballads and - rondeaux, three bales; novels and short stories, twen- ty toms in fifteen crates.”—Bookman.

By GEORGE CLINTON. Washington.—In writing upon the subject of a bill recently introduced by congress to protect the birds of the United States, Willlam B. Brigham eaid this: “If all the six hundred colleges and all the college’ endowments in the United States, should be destroyed to- morrow, the insect tax of one year not only would replace them, but would leave a balance sufficient to en- dow thirty-two new universities in the sum of $10,000,000 each. It costs more by many millions each year to feed our insects than to educate our 20,000,000 children.” If the writer of the above had want- ed further to impress home the neces- sity of bird protection, he might have added the statement of a French scien- tist who after an exhaustive study of the relation of birds to agriculture sald that if the birds were annihilated that man could not survive on the earth for gix months. When the Frenchman's word was doubted, sclen- tists from all countries of the globe came forward to substantiate his word on the subject. This i8 the way that the Frenchman summarized the matter. He said that it the bird enemies of the insects were killed the destructive creatures would increase so rapidly that in a few months every green thing on the earth would be devoured and that man would be powerless to keep pace with the ravages of the insect enemy, even though he used every known means like poison and fire. ‘With the passing of the herbs and the grass and the trees the animals all would die and man would have nothing to live upon except the fish of the sea and these would be insuffi- clent to keep man living even though they could be obtained by the people remote from the sources of supply. Increasing Support for Bills. Senator George P. McLean of Con- necticut has introduced into congress & bill supplementary to the one which he introduced some time ago to pro- tect the birds of America. It is not known what action congress will take, but there are evidences at hand that the agriculturists of the country are taking a deep interest in the matter for they are adding their word of sup- port to the words of the bird protec- tors generally and to those . of the sportsmen and'the people who are humanitarians without having any greater Interest in birds than they have in otherforms of animal life which they thing should be protected. In the year 1904 Dr. C. L. Bartlett, basing his estimate on the crop re- ports of the department of agriculture, asserted that the loss to the agricul- tural industries that year, caused by insects alone, .could be conservatively placed at $795,100,000, and this does not include a dollar used for insect!- cides. State Ornithologist Forbush of Massachusetts, in his comprehensive book entitled “Useful Birds,” main- tains that insect pests destroy agri- cultural products to the value of $800,000,000 a year. The detalls whereby such enor- mous totals are reached are avaflable and indicate that the scientists are not guessing wildly. For example, the Hessian fly in 1904 cost the wheat- growing states $50,000,000. Cinch bugs cost the Mississippi valley $100,- 000,000 in one year. Rocky Mountain locusts, in their years of greatest actlvity, cost the northwest more than $150,000,000. Cut-worms have caused & loss of $100,000,000 at one time. Thus it is seen that the teirible loss of $800,000,000 in ofie year is fairly easy of proof. 5 Thelr Marvelous Fecundity. The fecundity of many insects is beyond imagination. The green leat louse or aphis, so destructive of the hop industry, and many other of our most valuable frults and vegetables, reproduces its kind at a rate of ten sextillion to the pair in one season. These inconceivable figures mean 40,- 000 for every square inch of land that is above water. Placed in the Indian file, ten to the inch, it would take light traveling at the rate of 180,000 miles per second 2,500 years to reach the file leader. The potato bug s less fecund. One pair will reproduce from fifty to sixty millions only in one sea- son. The unchecked natural increase of one pair of gypsy moths would de- foliate the United States in eight years. Insects live to eat. Some insects in- crease their size at birth ten thousand times in thirty days. No less than 176 specles of insects attack the ap- ple, plum, peach and cherry trees; 400 species are found upon the oak. Fortunately for the. protection of humanity against its insect enemies, birds are among the most important agencies in staying the inroads of in- sect devastation, Most birds eat most of the time and eat insects and little el Mr. Treadwell of the Boston So- elety of Natural History fed a young robin sixty-eight angleworms in one day. A young crow will eat twice its weight a day of almost anything set before it. Mr: Forbush has seen two parent. grosbeaks in eleven ‘hours make 450 trips to their nest, carrying two or three larvae at a time. 1t would surprise you to know of the great good that is being done by 0000060060060 0020 0 @ SUNDAY IN THE CHURCHES © © Continued from First Page. & QO@OOQO@QOQOOOQ “hell fire" it does become when Sat- an captures it, and turns it aside from the truth, This application comes to us from the first verse.

In building both Seattle and Port- land it was necessary to remove from the face of the earth several sizable hills. This work was done, for the most part, by hydraulic power. That Is, the hills, composed mostly of dirt, were waghed away by powerful streams of water. At Portland, Ore., electrical power, driving huge centrif- ugal pumps, lifted water from Guilds lake 400 feet uphill and hurled it through 43g-inch nozzles against the great piles of dirt and gravel. In this way the hills were washed away much quicker and cheaper than they could be cut up and carted away with steam shovels and dirt trains. Now {8 the iime to get rid of your rheumatism.
