s s 1 2 The Twirletr Who Leads Them all Copyright_Patrick Duluth Woolen Mill e TESREAU, Pitcher for N. Y. Giants. TELLS ONE ON JIM CALLAHAN White Sox Recruit Willing to Accept Tickets “Bought and Pald For’— No Applause Needed, Jimmy Callahan, manager of the Chicago White Sox, celebrated his thir- ty-ninth birthday, and his friend Frank Fogarty, the “Dublin Minstrel,” sent a telegram to him wishing many happy returns and big success the coming season. Fogarty tells a clever little yarn on Callahan: “Jimmy and George M. Cohan are very warm friends,” eaid the comedian, “and whenever Callahan Manager James Callahan, and his team strike New York while Cohan is playing there George sends a batch of tickets around for the bunch. On one af these occasions when Callahan was handing out the pasteboards he told the boys to give Cohan a geod round of applause wher he made his first entrance for the eve- ning, and also at the finale. The gang went to the show and several of the recruits were busy discussing baseball when Cohan made his entrance. They forgot to applaud. Callahan was wild and at the close of the performance he panned the boys severely. = “Some weeks later one of the play- ers met another in the hotel elevator after the game and told him that the boys were going to a show that night. “Going to a show tonight, did you say?” asked the recruit. “Yes. Callahan has the tickets— “Bought and Paid For.” “Bought and paid for,” repeated the youngster. “That’s good; the last tickets we got bawled out because we didn’t applaud the guy that gave ‘em to us. Now that these tickets are bought and paid for he probably wem't care whether we clap or not.” Arthur Hofman has come back for Fred Clarke. -His legs are all that are ailing him. Holman bids fair to be called “Circus Solly” again. PR Sam Agnew, the young catcher of the St. Louis Browns, has a great rec- ord. While with Vernon last year he caught exactly 100 games and had no passed balls. e e OLD BALTIMORE TEAM Many .of Famous Orioles Still Engaged in Game Jack Doyle and Frank Bowerman Re- membered as Among Players Who. Helped,to Win Pennant—Oth- ers Helped Make History. That the old Oriole plyers who won three successive pennants for Baltimore were about the best that baseball ever has produced is shown [schreiber, when but 18 took the fan- by the number of them still employed at making history. Only the other day it was announced that Jack Doyle, the old first baseman, has been signed to scout for young players by the Chi- cago White Sox. It will be remem- bered that Doyle at one time played on the initial bag for the . New York Giants before Fred Tenney. The signing of Doyle leaves only a few of the old-timers in-the shadow surrounding the baseball spotlight. Perhaps it can be sald that Walter Stevenson Brodie, Duke of Roancke, among the best center flelders who ever played the game, is about the only one of the cld favorites who is not enjoying prosperity as-a direct re- sult of work in organized baseball. Even Brodie coaches the Rutgers col- lege squad, but his job is not so prom- inent as others. The New York Giants have.the old third baseman and catcher in McGraw and Robinson on théir bench every day, while Sadie McMahon, the pitch- ing reliable, 1s scouting for the same club. Willie Keeler, the right fielder, is teaching the young Brooklyn Dodg- ers how to bat. That puts four of the former Baltimore stars in Greater New York. Chicago now claims two Orioles of prominence, for Kid Gleason, wha became a second baseman in Balti. more, is assistant to Manager Jimmy Callehan, of the White Sox, and Jack Doyle w!ll do the scouting. In Detroit, Hughey Jennings is the star, and Toronto is paying homage to Jack Doyle. Joe Kelley, who piloted its team to & pennant last season in the Internas tional league. So, grouped pretty closely together is a whole Oriole pen- nant-winning team, with the excep- tion of a center fielder. And if any one tried real hard to gather the bunch together some day during the baseball season, he would only have | to go to Rutgers college, in New Jer- sey, get Brodie and complete a nine. A journey to Princeton would add an extra catcher to the bunch, for it is there that Bill Clarke holds forth as coach. Even Dan Brouthers is floating about New York, occasionally doing some work for McGraw, and he should be added. i But, glancing back over the old names, one sees that Pep Reitz, Doo: Pond, Tony Mullane, Charley Esper, George Hemming, Arthur Clarkson, Scoops Carey, Bill Hoffer, Frank Bon- ner, Frank Bowerman, Jimmy Don- nelly, Joe Quinn, Joe Corbett and oth- ers have not done so much for base- ball in recent years. There are a few more old Balth more stars not so fortunate as to play on the pennant-winning outfit who did not play baseball when they left Baltimore. For instance, Al Maul and Matt Kilroy devoted thelr efforta | (31 importance to the Pacific coast. to helping out Connie Mack for a nume < ‘Frank Bowerman, ber of years, and Bad Bill Dahlen s ‘Tanager of the Brooklyn club. There are other men who helped make base« ball history for Baltimore who are still in the game, such as Joe McGin- nity and Jack Dunn, and all of the evidence tends to prove that the old Baltimore team was just lMt the best that ever hmnud. “|Alix Moncheur, daughter chleago. violation of the Mann white slavery act, John Arthur’(Jack‘ Johnson, ne- &ro pugilist, once heavyweight cham- plon of the world, today faced Judge Carpenter in. the federal court. It ‘was the second time within a period of less than two weeks that the big black had faced a serious charge. On April 23, he was fined $1,000 on a charge of smuggling a, diamond necklace into ths country for his wife Etta Duryea Johnson, on whom he aid the blame. The prosecuting witness for the government today was Belle Schreiber, a 21-year-old | girl. It was on her testimony that the indictment on which today’s trial was based, was secured against John- son last fall. The indictment charges that Belle ¢y of the negro fighter; that he took her as a traveling companion on trips to Cleveland, Milwaukee, New York Atlantic_City and Pittsburgh; and that the negro’s treatment of the girl graded from prodigal generosity to brutality. Lucille Cameron, of Min- neapolis, whom he married’ despite :frantic efforts by the girl’s mother to |prevent the alliance, was expected to be in court today with her husband. ALIEN LAND LAW AWAITS JOHNSON (Continued from first page). nia assembly to take no action on an- ti-alien land legislation in the pres- ent session. Secretary of State Bryan departed from Sacramento late yes- terday. Mr. Bryan’s plea was made before the members of both the sen- ate and assembly, just before his train departed, but it was aimed at the members of the assembly, who stopped their discussion of the Webb bill long enough to hear the secre- tary of state. - "Secretary Bryan, in his farewell ad- dress, thanked the legislators for the kind reception extended him. He ex- plained that Presidnt Wilson had sent him to California because of the in- ternational phases of the anti-alien land situation and that the legislature had found it inconsistent to follow the president’s advice in the wmdmg of the law. i In conclusion Bryan said:- '~ ! “Let me recall President Wilson’s preferences in regard -~ to anti-alién land legislation, as they have been stated to you. “First—The postponement of act- ion at this time, reminding you again that under your constitution the leg- lature can be reconvened at any time to deal with the subject as the neces- sities of the case may require. “Second—If action is deemed nec- essary, he could prefer such action as has- been ‘taken by the state of Illin~ ois, where no distinction is made be- tween ‘aliens and a liberal time al- lowed’!during which an alien can hold ‘property. “Third—If it is deemed necessary still' further to restrict the holding of property he prefers such a law as the Distriet of Columbia now has, where the ownership of real estate is con- fined to citizens and to those who have declared their intentions of be- coming citizens. “Fourth—Whatever the form of the law, he earnestly advises a few words, intended to draw a-distinction between those eligible to .citizenship and those ineligihle” Gates Thanks Swtetm-y Bryan. On’ behalt of the legislature, ’ Sen- ator Gates thanked Secretary Bryan and the president ‘' for the interest shown by the federal government on the affairs which he said were of vi- There is a wide diversity of opin- ion among the legislators™as to the merits and efficacy of -the - amended anti-alien law as it passed the sen- ate. “So long as-the title rests in the United States citizen,” said Senator Birdsall, progressive, who introduced the original bill ,“the permanent dan- ger we are trying to avoid is prett, well guarded against even though un- renewed by the same Japanese tenant or others, the fee simple floes not pass into alien hands.” Assemblyman Shanahan, democrat- ic leader, who wanted to prevent ro- |- tation in leasing, said: . “The bill.as it stands is a sham in- stead of a substance. It permits the ‘occupation of land under practically interminable lease and what's the difference between that and owner- ship?” BARONESS WEDS ROBERT LOREE Baltimore, Md., May ~5.—Another international matrimonial alliance is. formed here today when Baroness "of Baron Ludovic, the Belgian Ambassador. to Constantinople, becomes the bride of 'Robert Loree,. of Bnltimore, son of L.

' front—putting. the meeting “on the bum.’” When Father Magrath first Went to West street there ~was no tougher section of the city, and few as hardened and wholely wicked im the world... The “rough necks” who came ashore to squander. their earn- ings of two transatlantic voyages or the fruits of months “of service on tramp steamers in a night were bad enough, but it was .the swarm-of crooks and gamblers who gathered to entice the unwary ~mariner into crooked deals of all sorts that made he district notorious for murder and assault. - The advent of Father Magrath, the smiling, big~ jawed young priest, caused but little excitement at first. No one attended his meetings nor was his cloth respected as it should have been. Father Magrath looked around his “parish” silently’for a few weeks and then decided that the only Way ‘to.make these water front gangs step around to be converted was by force. So one night he started to “clean up” his district, alone and un- armed. They tell still on the street of that glorious first night of battle and gory fistic display. He went from saloon to saloon, sorting out the big- gest and worst, looking men at the bar and urging upon them the error of their ways and the advantages of the life religious. When scoffed at he ‘laid down "his prayer books and roled up his sleeves. There Was us- ually just two blows struck. One was when the doughty priest’s doughty fist landed on the jaw of said offend- er. The other was the echoing wal- lop when' said offender’s cranium col- lided with the floor. Then Father Magrath went about a systematic circuit of the crooks which -led through dary alley ways whiere the human sharks waited to pounce upon one of his beloved sea- man when that jovial rover of the deep should be wallowing in the trough of too deep a land sea. The police had made sporadic but futile efforts to clean out the nests of thieves and tin-horn gamblers, thugs and lodging house crooks that filled the water front district. Father Ma- grath simply waded into a crook whenever he saw one, ordered him to get out of the district and if not met with instant response sank one of 'his justly famous . private-stock sleeping potions into said crooks masticatory apparatus. The result is that today only one gang of. unregenerates worries the good, stocky priest of the Seamen’s ‘Union. It is known as the Tin Can Alley Athilétic club.

He knows well the wants of “his people,” and he is beloved by every seaman. of New York’s “Barbary Coast.” Father Magrath’s constant companion is “Bum,” a rangy, mon- grel dog.

Problems That Settle Themaselves. Subordinates are often impatient ot delays “higher up.” They make a suggestion or a request which no doubt to them has the appearance of urgency, and if the response is not im- mediate they shake their heads over official incapacity and’ waste their time complaining of the procrastina- tion of others. It may be that noth- ing is done at all and in the end they are surprised to find that nothing was necessary. An extraordinary number of problems settle themselves.—Ex- change. — Opportunities, “There is a tide in the .affairs of men,” admits a wise writer, “but there is no gulf stream setting forever in one direction.” The man who grows careless and self-confident be¢ause of success will soon find that no current of prosperity will take the place of thought and effort, and no one need think “luck” is so persistently against him that he is destined to tailure whatever he does. There are oppor- tunities and there are misfortunes, but there is no gulf stream of luck, good or bad. Syver Pederson had the mlslortuue : W . flmfly Solved. A, letter from lxj Willism Grebe ‘ot Bonnar Bprings to the Kansas City. Star some time ago 'inquired the meaning of the Latin inscription which adorns the seal on the new pen- sion checks. The inscription runs, “Thesaur, Amer. Septent. Sigil” The major, who has read Caesar, Cicero, Virgll, Horace and a number of other Roman authors, to say nothing of He- rodotus and & few of the Greeks, ad- mitted it was beyond him. And small wonder. It was also beyond two high school Latin seachers to whom it was propounded. Finally a girl of sixteen dug out the meaning. ‘The four Latin words sig- nify “The Seal of the Treasury of North America.” All the Latin ‘words are abbreviated in the inscription, and “septent,” -which was the “sticking point” in the inscription, is'not a verb, as one might very easily suppose, but an abbreviated and somewhat unusual adjective meaning .north. The firat two syllables are a changed form of the Latin word septem, meaning seven.. The way “seven” happens to be in an adjective meaning ‘“north” is' that the ancients, who were great star gazers, associated the north with the seven stars forming the constella- tion of the Great .Bear.
