— CONNIE MACK 1s SARCASTIC 8upposedly of Easy-Going Disposition, Manager of Athletics Is Stern Disclplinarian, Connie Mack at times is the most sarcastic manager in baseball. On the face he has an easy-going disposi- tion, yet he is one of the sternest dls- ciplinarians in the game, although he is never apparently stern. During the early days of the Amerl- can league Mack had as first base- man the veteran Charley Carr, man- ager of the Kansas City team of the American association. This was in 1901, and Mack was having a struggle to keep above water. He had a raw-boned youth named Plank on the mound one day. The Athletlcs played wretchedly, Plank’s Charley Carr. pitching being as bad as the Mack- men’s flelding. Carr was a particularly bad per- former. After the giant first baseman dropped his third thrown ball, Mack became wild, but in a quiet way. He walted for Carr as he was walking to the bench. Taking a dime from his pocket, he handed it to Carr. “Why, what’s that for?” said Carr {n surprise. “It’s carfare home,” replied Mack .. coldly, “and take Plank with you.” Mack ‘meant what he said and didn’t -mit either Carr or Plank to play ~me_that_dav. Atlanta has sold Catcher McMurray to Rochester. The Giants have released Pitchers Evan Evans and Jack Ferrell to Dal- las. Cy Young is a sporting editor on a Boston paper. Now look for some real dope on baseball. Art Brouthers, last year in the Tri State and New York State, has been signed with Youngstown. Manager Harry Wolverton will keep himself in trim in order to act the role of utility infielder for the Highland- ers. ' Frank Schulte of the Cubs, has made 48 home runs off 35 pitchers since he has been in the National league. Tesreau, the Giants’ big pitcher, is the only exponent of the spitball on the New York team. He’s a hard man to catch. Otto Jordan, purchased by Chatta- nooga from Atlanta, has been made fleld captain of the Lookouts by Man- ager Smith. Two Mack cast-offs—Hogan of St. Louis and Rath of Chicago—are play- ing good ball. Rath of the Sox is hit- ting the ball hard and fielding in ex- cellent style. Dan Moeller of Washington is one player who can prove that he can come back. On his second trial in fast company he is playing good ball for Washington. Manager Davis of Cleveland is evi- dently going to take a leaf out of his former manager’s book. He has al ready signed Captain Nash of the Brown University team. Cleveland has sent Dick Talbot, prod- act of the Ohio city’s sand lots, to oledo. He was a catcher and made pver into an outfielder and will go in- to the outer garden for Hartzel. There is a pitcher on the St. Louis Browns who will delight in beating Washington. He is Elmer Brown, who had a trial under Griffith at Cin- cinnat! and was declared no good. It was a big blow to Wolverton ‘when.Harry Wolter was injured; Wol- ter was playing good ball all around, His hitting and base running was the feature of the team’s work up to the time he was put out of the game, Sanitary Chairs and Rockers......... at..

The con- gress will hold its first general meet- ing at the Metropolitan Opera House on Thursday and it is expected that President Taft, who has accepted the honorary presidency and has prom- ised to attend the opening session, will deliver the opening address. Re- sponse will be made by M. Alexis Du- fourny of Brussells, a high officer of the Belgian Engineer Corps, who is one of the former presidents of the International Congress. This will be the first time that one of these congresses is held in the United States. Previous congresses have all been held in Europe, the last at St. Petersburg in 1908.

Mail by Aeroplane. New York, May 21.—Paul Peck, the well known young aviator, has fixed tomorrow morning as the time for beginning his attempt to carry 100 pounds of mail matter from this city to Washington by aeroplane. The experiment has the sanction of the post office department and will be watched with much interest by the officials, especially in view of the fact that the recent progress made in the science of aviation has given rise to the hope that ultimately the regular conveyance of mail by this means may be practicable. In order to com- ply with the law Peck has been sworn into the postal service and his ma- chine on its departure from New York for the capital will fly a pen- nant bearing the words “U. S. Mail.” Veterang at South Bend. South Bend, Ind., May 21.—Civil war veterans by the thousands and other visitors in large numbers are " |here to attend the annual encamp- ment of the G. A. R., Department of Indiana, which began today, and is to continue until Friday. Despite the fact that the soldiers are so rapidly lessening in numbers, the encamp- ment promises to be one of the most successful ever held in this state. An- nual parade will be held tomorrow and each evening there will be camp- fires with prominent speakers.

TALES OFTEN EXAGGERATED How One West Point Class Celebrated the New Year With Firing of Gune, Explosion of Pyrotechnics and inferno of Nolse. By GEORGE CLINTON. Washington.—Maj. Gen, Thomas Barry is the superintendent of the United States Military Academy. If the war department were to believe all the reports that come in, General Barry is having a hard time of it in enforcing discipline. Government of- ficials, however, have always taken with more than a grain of salt stories that come out of West Point. Gen- erally they have been found to grow in the coming. Major General Barry was sent to the Military academy as superintendent after a notable career in Cuba and in the Philippines, and with a fine recprd for efficiency and maintenance of disci- pline. The last story which came from West Point was to the effect that the superintendent virtually put the whole corps of cadets under arrest while he was trying to find out which of the five hundred odd boys it was who yelled “Fore for the supe.” Fore i8 a golf term, as everybody knows, and General Barry, it was said, hear- ing the cadet’s words through an open window of the mess hall, took them as being subversive of discipline and as having the ring of impertinence in them. He did. not find out who it was that had used the offending words, but the story- of his method and of a g00d many other things connected with the incident were found to be untrue. Every time anything happens at West Point which is enlarged in the telling there are intimations that congress will start investigating, but the chances are that congress in this case will have nothing to do. How Things Are Started. - To glve an ides of how attempts are made frequently to start the war de- artment “golng” with stories about ;Ven Point, it should be said that jn connection with this General Barry matter, which was a trivialty in itself, It was said the affair at the academy was the most tremendous disciplinary breach in a quarter of a century and that the only thing which equaled it in the history of the government instjtu- tion was when the cadets of 25 years 820 managed to haul the reveille pnd sunset ‘gun up to "the top f the barracks and there discharge it, to the smashing of a few win- dows and the breaking of many regulations. In the growth of West Point stories’ this can be cited as the one case where & yarp dwindled instead of increasing, snd army officers in Washington say that the fact fhat the gun episode happened 25 years and-more ago, prob- sbly was responsible for the mild char- scter of the tale, the men who told it having to.depend upon hearsay, which came from the lips of some one pot familiar with the facts. The class of 1880 wanted in some way to mark the incoming of the year of their gradyation. So its members resolved to haye a celebration at the stroke of twelve at midnight of the New Year, January 1, 1830, Now this affair at the academy, instead of he- Ing a mere matter of taking & cannon on the roof and firing it off, was really » terrific outbreak of noise, confusion and regulation breaking. Some mem- bers of the corps had been given a Christmas leave of thrge days, apd on their return from New York they brought to the academy a large quan- tity of fireworks, which they hid in 8 sonvenient place after they landed st the dook. Later these fireworks were transferred to: barracks and hid in mattresses and from that time until the night of December 31, the eve of | New Year, a great many cadets slept on veritable mines. Fired Off All the Guns. A detachment of cadets tolled oft for the purpose went down to the river early on the night of December 31 and loaded all the seacoast guns, the siege battery gun, and old smooth-bore guns of Battery Knox. At ten minutes be- fore midnight 20 cadets left barracks and made their way to the river bat- teries. At the stroke of 12 they be- gen pulling. the lanyard and it was “roar and boom and tear” from every gun along the plateau’s front. The echoes were ayakened far up the Hud- son to Newberg and down to Sing Sing. It sounded as if the post were under bombardment, and in & twink- ling the whole post was up, officers running here and there in halt waked condition, not knowing just what had happened. Across the parade ground came the veteran General Schofield in his uniform, bit with something white showing which proved that he had not completely tucked in his clothes in his hurry to get dressed. Simultaneously with the bombard- ment every .window in barracks was opened and forth came flery sky rock- ots, roman capdles and all the other simjlar ‘deyices known to the ingenu- ity ot man. n addition } members of the nproar an slon w s thing fiere f The whole corps was put upder a Test and laterisyery man had all privileges taken away from him, they were kept awsy for five monthg, . g Just Remember That a fey ps of ofl of lavendes will alr in & room and a ‘in_the bookcase be- lfore it s shut up for the summer will keep the from molding..

Ister from the United States: whose visits I had been warned, I had an amusing interview. He was a handsome, dignified Arab, who had been in England long enough to talk English fairly well. duced himself to me by saying he had been ‘mayor of Jerusalem, and was now trying to procure from the gov- ernment a concession for the con- struction of a system of waterworks for that city. 5 He regretted—so he informed me— to find that the government was so corrupt that he had no hope of secur- ing the concessions except by bribing a whole row of officials. It refreshed him to turn from those representa- tives of corrupt and tyrannical gov- ernment and pay his respects to the representative of a pure and honest democracy. Supposing his object to be to draw from me some remark derogatory to the Sultan, which he could report to my disadvantage, I remarked that a monarchy presided over by a just sov- erelgn was a very edifying spectacle, ANGELL AVOIDED THE TRAP In the diplomatic service, a man must always keep his wits keen and ready for use.

The Brazilian nabob, Baron Ferean, It was for that reason, mot partial to him. One morning, while staying at the magnificent Maux hotel, in Rio de Janeiro, he came down to breakfast eaten it he ordered a second. “Baron,” sald the head waiter, maliciously, “it’s a custom with us never to serve the 'same course twice at a meal.” “Is that so?” said Fereau, and rising from bis seat he left the room. In ten min- utes he came back into the dining- room. “Waliter,” said he, “1 have just bought this hotel and am master here now. As you will not be able to get accustomed to my plan of serving guests according to their wishes, you are dismissed at once.” Thereupon he took up his napkin again and callea to another waiter: “Now, bring me another cutlet!"
