ATHAT'S THE' LATEST SVERY DECOMING REALIZATION? Bl LEAGUERS IN TROUBLE Gharges Made That New York and Brooklyn Pleyers Compete With Semipros Around Gotham. Officials of Dboth the National and American Leagues have begun an in- vestigation of charges that members of the New York and Brooklyn teams have been pldying Sunday baseball here in semi-professional teams under assumed names. It 1s alleged that from $100 to $260 is regularly pald to the big team stars for this service by semi-professional teams here and in suburban towns. On several occasions, it is sald, star pitchers on the pay rolls of the local major league clubs have worked on Sundays for as much as $250, only to fail utterly when called upon to enter the box the next day by their regular employers. One crack boxman, it 18 alleged, pitched a sixteen inning game on a recent Sunday in a Hudson river town In spite of the fact that it was his regular turn to pitch on Monday. On another occasion, according to the investigators, a star battery hired for $250 by a semi-professional club found that the opposing team had a pitcher and catcher equally well known in organized baseball. The recognition on the fleld was mutual, but in order to fool the spectators, the major leaguers, whose names ‘were assumed, did not speak. The first move, it is said, will be & sweeping order prohibiting players under contract to organized clubs from' accepting offers from semi-pro- fessional managers. SUNDAY BALL IN WASHINGTON Manager Clark Griffith of Senators Thinks It Would Be Great Bless- Ing for Capital Fans, Bunday baseball in Washington is & probability of the near future. A conference held by President Ban B. Johnson and Manager Griffith at the former’s office recently resulted in the head of the league giving his approval of such a change in the schedule and incidentally immediately taking the matter up with the other officials of the Washington club. - Grifith contends that a majority of the people in Washington want Sun- day games. He says that it has been argued to him by those most inter- ested in the project that Sunday base- ball would be & blessing in disguise for those inhabitants of the nation’s capital who cannot afford to attend games during the week and who have no place to spend their Sundays. President Johnson is an advocate of Sunday ball. He pointed out that it required years to have the barriers ralsed against the sport on the Sab- bath in both Detroit and Cleveland, but that since it has been tried there the clergy of these two citles sanc- tlon the playing of the games on that day, and that there is mot the slight- est objection from any source. He immediately wrote & letter to President Noyes regarding the subject, and if the club can see its way clear to play games at home on Sunday the schedule will be so arranged at once as to make this possible during the Natlonals’ long stay at home. “CY” YOUNG SAYS FAREWELL Famous Pitcher Makes His Final Ap- pearance - on the Diamond at Place Where He Started. It was a fine sense of the appropri- ateness of things that led Denton T. Young to make his final farewell an- nouncement on the dlamond where he began his career. It was at New Athens, O, at the commencement day game of Franklin College where the veteran first learned the fine points ot the game. Young consented to pitch part of the game for the college team. He twirled three innings, then the vet- eran walked out before thé grandstand and declared he was through. “The old arm is gone; I give way to a youn- Cy Young. ger man. This is my last game. It was here that I began my baseball career and it is befitting that I should end it here,” he sald. George Browne Again Released. President Fogel of the Philadelphia Natjonal league team announced that he had unconditionally released George Browne, substitute outflelder. Browne, formerly one of the stars of the New York Nationals, started in this sea- son as manager of the Washington United States league team. - Purtell In the Fleld. With Janvrin back in the infleld at Jersey City, Billy Purtell has been shifted to the outfield, which would in- dicate that Bill's arm is -all right again. It is only the lame arm that caused Boston to let him sa BRINKMAN THEATRE TONIGH COMPLETE CHANGE OF PROGRAM : Y1 AT LAST 1 1 L o e The Coming of Columbus The Discovery of America In Motion Pictures The Most Vivid, Elaborate and Expensive, Films Ever :Made.—Prongunced by Pulpit; Press, Critics, Historians and Public as a never-to-be-equaled triumph im Motion Picture z A $50,000.00 PRODUCTION Which took three years to make.

Seattle’s Gloden Potlatch.

Unique Decoration. - ‘W. T. Stead, who went dewn with the Titanic, did not disapprove of the wearing of decorations, but he .con- sidered the imsignia now in use strangely inadequate. He resolved to create new insignia to replace those he deemed to be insufficient. He chose a trousers button, This decora- tion he conferred on those he deemed worthy. One day he had with Nicholas II. a conversation on- peace. The ideas of the emperor of Russia pleased him greatly and/at the close of the interview Mr. Stead took one of his buttons from, his pocket and hooked it upon the . breast of . the f czar. < 1 —_— Never Repeat an Unkind Thing.

Elmore, Classiest of Entertainers | EXPERT Harry Thurston Peck is the " latest Lexicon. Harry Thurston Peck has’ just written his-latest and what its pub- lishers Dbelieve, is the best book of his career. 2 i ‘Who is Harry Thurston Peck? It is not likely that such a ques- tion will be asked, but for the benefit of the entirely uninforméd it might be better to explain that he'is not a novelist, although this. latest work of his is almost certain to be a “best seller.” The book as it is in its completion today represents the perfection of a ready reference work made possible by a broad-minded and learned edi- tor, assisted by a board of distin- guished assistants co-operating with broad-minded and - progressive pub- lishers. Harry Thurston Peck, Ph. D., Litt. D., LL. D., editor-in-chief of the New International Encyclopedia; editor of Harper’s Classical Dictionary; mem- ber of the Academy of Political Sci- ence; member of the National Insti- tute of Arts and Letters; formerly Professor of English at Columbia Un- versity, and author of learned works, is also the author of delightful stor- ies for children, told first to his own little girl and later put into writing. One would hardly expect to find in the same verson the compiler of en- cyclopedias and the -teller of chil- dren’s tales, but it is this touch of human interest in the makeup of Dr Peck perhaps, that has helped him in making the New Websterian 1912 Dictionary, Illustrated,- “just a little different” than previous works upon language. As the professor modestly admits, the dictionary is, of course, not a cy- clopedia, but still it is more than a dictionary and while not going into extended discourse on any of its many subjects, still there is more than a bare definition difficult to un- derstand. By clever composition the editor has managed to convey a broader meaning to the words con- sidered than is customary in works of the size. Some further idea of the breadth of Dr. Peck’s knowledge may be se- cured from the naming of a few of the many books of which he is the auther. His work on Latin Pronun- ciation, and his book on the Latin Historians are extensively used as textbooks. His “Harper’s Dictionary of Classical Literature and Antiqui- ties” displaced every other work on antiquities and phililogy. Dr. Peck colloborated with Prof. G. P. Pease of Bowdoin and Leland Sanford uni- vers'tics in editing 30 volumes of Latin classics. He has translated in- to English the first example of the ancient novel converted into modern slang; written the first history of classical philology that has yet been given in English in a form suitable for the'use of the ordinary college student; -prepared and published as the result of five years work the well known work on contemporaneous his- tory. “Twenty Years of the Repub- lic,” including the period from 1885 to 1905. Among the many other works of the professor is a book of travel dealing with things as he saw them, and incidents that actually happened, and also a number of chil- dren’s books.
