Al Demaree, Leading Combing the underbrush of the mi- or leagues are several scouts who wre on the trall of young pitchers for the New York Natlonals. No league is too small to be explored, no tip so humble as to be ignored, and no price too big it the goods are delivered. The ivory hunters have been fanning the jungles for many weeks, and now, with drafting days are here, they are springing their traps. Manager. McGraw recently an- aounced the purchase of Pitcher Al Demaree from the Mobile club of the Southern League, and of pitcher Ba- der from the Dallas club of the Texas League. Larne Kirby, the Michigan bearcat, is already ‘on the job. Dema- ree and Bader and some others may show in the fall. But the whole mob will be in Marlin next spring. PLAYED IN VARIOUS LEAGUES Jack Graney Has Every Other Mem: ber of Cleveland Team Beaten as to Experience. “Jack” Graney has every other mem- ber ot the Cleveland outfit outclassed and tied to the starting mark when it comes to varlety of experiences. A year ago Jim McGuire led the field. Though younger in years, “Jack” has already performed in seven different leagues with the fololwing clubs: Erle, Pa.; Fulton, N. Y.; Rochester; Wilkes- barre, Cleveland, Columbus, Portland, Cleveland. Beat it if you can. And he's still so yonug and frisky. Even Nap Lajole, the vet in years of the squad, doesn’t compare with “Jack” Larry has con- CLOSING DAYS OF THE BASEBALL SEASON .Sept. 23 -Oct. American Assoclation American League .

Demaree is the leading pitcher of the Southern League. He is no raw youngster, but this is the best season he has ever had. He has been roam- ing around in the minors about five years, and once had a brief trial with the Yankees. No Southern League pitcher has held the enemy to as few runs and hits as Demaree. He has eight or ten shutouts to his credit, and it is largely through his efforts that Mobile is in second place. Demaree was one of the pitchers who shut out the Giants for thirteen innings in Mobile last spring when the champions played a scoreless tie with the Sea Gulls. He is a right-hander with ability to “mix ’em up,” and knows how to work batsmen. His speed is not remarkable, and he is not a big chap. | fned his efforts to three cfubs, Fall River, Athletics and Cleveland. “Tuck” Turner and Joe Birmingham, the other vets, also stand near the foot of the list. “Tuck’s” record shows a trial with Pittsburg, subsequent develop- ment at Columbus, and finally a trip to Cleveland.

Sept. 15 MORGAN IS A{CLOUTER Washington'é s;cond : Baseman Taught How to Hit. Manager Griffith Takes Danville Boy In Hand and Teaches Him to Bat —Shows Great Improvement In His Stick Work. \ The improvement of!Ray Morgan as A batter is one of theigreatest things | connected with the performances of the Nationals of 1912. Last year the little,lad from Dan- ville, Va,, was a light) sticker. Jim- my McAleer despaired{his ever shin- Ing in the big lepgue'on that ac- | count. But Jimmy didn’t know how to teach the boy better;form at the bat. It remained for/Clark Grifith to do that. At Charlottesville . Morgan Wwas given long and carefulfinstruction on how to stand, how to’/swing, how to get away from the plate and the kind of & bat he should use. It was all new to the lad. Never before had any one tried to teach him. He had always hit in his own natural style, good enough in its way, too, but not good enough for the big show. When the season started Morgan was only learning how to use all his weight against the ball, how to pick out the good ones and how to gel eway from the plate. He was learn- Ing rapidly, however,,and wheén the opportunity came toflhlm to take his place in the regular’ llne-up day after day, he was ready. Morgan should be;one of the team’s leading hitters if he continues his present work with the willow. Thor oughly impregnated with the doctrine being taught the team by Griffith, he believes he can hit any pitching served up to him. Furthermore, he is doing It and has been doing:it all along. The Baltimore boy is using the proper size of stick now. He swings with all his strength and weight and Is one of the longest hitters on the Ray Morgan. N team. His great speed enables him to get the most out of his long drives 1o the garden, and as a sliding run- ner, only Moeller and Milan begin to compare with him. “Morgan is a natural hitter, that's all,” smiles Griffith, when talking of his young second baseman. “He is using all his ability now and should be a success all along. As soon as he learns the fine points about playing the bag, he will be one of the best second basemen in the game, mark me, one of the best in the game.” TO RETAIN MANAGER DAHLEN President Ebbets of Brooklyn Sets at Rest Rumors Concerning Leader of His Team. To set at rest various rumors in volving the management of the Brook: lyns next year President Ebbets made :his positive statement: “Dahlen will not be supplanted. He has done excellent work with the ma- ‘erial in hand. In three years he has Bill Dahlen. sipped out the deadwood, the drinkers nd the trouble makers and has built ip an entirely new organization. He knows every angle of the game and ‘he Brooklyns are bound to improve. “It would be an injustice to remove Dahlen from the management just at 1 time when it seems certain that he will get good results. Dahlen is not to blame for the accidents and illness that have crippled us from time to dme. He has been patient and pains- :aking and I intend to place increased sonfidence in his abilitv.” Blg Pltching Sale. The fourth big pitching sale of the 1912 Northwestern league took place when Ed Watkins, owner of the.Ta- coma Tigers, sold Bent Hunt, his big southpaw, to the Chicago White Sox for fall delivery. Hunt brought close to $3,000. He was ‘purchased from Sacramento early. this season for a few hundred dollars.

There 18 a large missionary school In Toklo, Japan, where the teaching is in English. One of the pupils re- cently wrote a composition on “Eng- land,” and we append some choice ex- tracts: “The England which occupled of the largest and greatest dominion which rarely can be. The Englishman al- ways works with a very powerful hands and the long legs, and even the eminenced mind and his chin is B0 strong as deserved iron. Being spread out from Europe to Australia to America his dominion is dreadfully extensive, so that his countrymen boastfully says ‘the sun are never sets on our dominion’ The testimony of English say that ‘he that lost the common sense, he never had any bene- fit, though he had gained a complete world.’” The English are cunning men- tion to establish a great empine of the paradise. As the Englishman always confide the object of the pure and the order to be holy and they reproach him if any of them are killed to death with the contention of other men.” APPEALED TO HOTEL CLERK Falr Guest Applied for Object Not Us. ually Supplied by Hostelrles, but She Got It. To be a successful hotel clerk you must have an even temper. There i3 no man under the sun who has so much to try his temper as a hotel clerk. The night clerk of a certain Baltimore hotel is & young man with the most polished manners. He is especially polite to the ladies, but a few evenings ago he nearly lost his equilibrium when a pretty guest asked him to loan her an alarm clock. “I must get up very early tomorrow morning,” sald the fair guest; “can’t you loan me an alarm clock—one that I can depend on?” “I will have you called at any hour you wish,” replied the clerk, “That won’t do. You might forget it, and besides, I have no watch, and it 1 wake up during the night I like to know the time.” The clerk suggested that there waa a telephone in the room, but that would not do, so he called the house- keeper, who loaned the fair guggi an alarm clock, Not Really Naval Stores. ‘The terming ‘of turpentine,- tar, pitch and rosin as naval stores s a misnomer. It originated many years ago, when tar and pitch first wera used to coat the bottoms of vessels to make them watertight and to cover the rigging of ships to preserve it from the action of the weather. All ships carried always a supply of tar among thelr stores, and hence the original of the term “naval stores.” It ‘was used only by ship builders and ship owners and others who had to do directly with shipping, and was a nau- tical term only. Then, when the prod- ucts of the gum of the longleaf pina came into general commercial impor- tance, the term was accepted as a fit- ting one for all articles of commerce manufactured from that substance, and is maintained to this day, al- though the uses that ereated it have little to do with the interests of the trade. . e Unsuccessful Experiment. “I wonder,” mused little Harry, who was studying his Sunday school lesson, “if men will ever live to be 500 or 600 vears old again?” “No, I guesd.not,” replied his six-year-old sister. “The Lord trled the experiment once and Depar tment The Pioneer Want Ads OASH WITH coPY ocent per word per issue 5 cents. 80 your want ad gets to them all.
