At one time Devlin was considered about the | best third baseman in the land. PLAY BALL IN PHILIPPRIES Fourteen of Fastest Native Filiping Players Coming to This Coun- try for Games. A crack all-Filipino baseball team compesed of fourtcen of the fastest! players in the Philippines, has left] Manila for a tour of Japan and the United States. The team expects to arrive at San Francisco aboub June 25. The aggregation of athletes ia under the management of Director Alejandro Albert, Team Manager E. F. Willets and Advance Agent Arthur E. McCann. The program calls for about twelve games in Japan with the leading col leges. One game in Hawali, en route. and about fifty games in the United States with class “C” and “D” league teams, the fastest semipros and col lege teams. The natives here have made won: derful strides in the progress of the national game and the managers of this team are confident that their| boys will make a creditable showing. Although the members of this team are all Filipinos, no two of them speak the same language, 8o they are obliged' to speak in a tongue other than their own in order to carry on ¥ couversation among themselves. - Frank Chance says he turns to the| box score to see what his old team is doing before he looks at any. othes pcrt of the mpsr.

DOYLE, Second Baseman N. Y. Giants THREE GOOD INDIAN PLAYERS Sockalexis, Jack Meyers and Chlef Bender Only Ones to Be Rated as First Class. Comparatively few -Indians have made. good in professional baseball, In recent years those who have suc- ceeded to regular positions with eith- er American or National League clubs can be counted upon the fingers of one hand. Athletic trainers and coaches have wondered at this. It is all the more surprising when one stops to consider that of all the nations there is none which can boast of more natural ath- leties than- the aborigines. Some mentors have tried to explain it by saying that the race has been retro- gressing. This, of course, may be in great measure responsible for the condition. Whatever the reason, it remains a fact that only Sockalexis, Jack Mey- ers and Chief Bender have attained fame as big leaguers. Other Indiand have made good in the minors and have been given trial in fast com- pany, but they have invariably fallen just- one notch shy in their major league ability. Notable among these were Jude, & reservation Indian, and Il Roy, a Chip- pewa. They have always been among the best in their respective minor as- socfations, but have lacked an indefl- nite something so frequently the case ‘with good minor leaguers. Now Jim Thorpe has been added to the list, and in St. the Browns may have an Indian playing shortstop for them. Balenti, who had a trial with Cincinnati for a time, has been turned ‘over to George Stovall. Sockalexis was regarded as one of the best players of his time about thirteen 'years ago. He played for four year with Holy Cross, and then played for about two seasons with Cleveland, but firewater was the cause of his downfall. [ Mathewson’s_Record.

Olave’s workhouse, Bermondsey, one for ten and one for twelve years, were smoking their pipes in the exer- cise yard when the conversation turn- ed on a street which was then being pulled down, says the London Weekly Telegraph. “Ah!” said one, where 1 was born.” “Were you? Why, so was I!” said the other. “Where did you live?” “My mother kept the little corner shop when I was a boy.” “Why, 8o did mine,” exclaimed the other, The men started at each' other. ‘You've made a mistake. My mother kept that shop—my mother, -Anne Brown.” Then the men rose and look- ed into each other’s eyes. “Then you must be Jack?’. “And you must be Bill?” And the old men—one seventy and the other seventy-three—grasped hands, knowing each other as broth- ers for the first time during their ten years of fellow paupership. iy This is the explanation, Jack, the elder, went to sea when he was fif- teen, and from that time troubled his family no more. ' He couldn’t write, and he didn’t find it convenient to call in at Bermondsey, as hé was nev- er near,jt. The second brother, whén he was nineteen, enlisted, dederted and re-enlisted under a false name. Under the latter he married; and when he became a pauper he went to the workhouse with it. The brothers had not seen each other since one was fitteen and the other twelve. That 18 how they came to sit side by side day by day in the workhouse for ten -years, without the slightest suspicion that the same mother bore them both. i VALUE QUEER RELICS HIGHLY Large Sums Have Frequently Been Paid for Articles That Maay- Would: Call Grewsome. “that’s the street It 18 not every man, not every hero worshiper, who would esteem the tooth of his héro of more value than diamonds. There is a ring belonging to an English nobleman, in which the place of honor, formerly occupied by & diamond, is given to a tooth that once did duty in a human jaw. This tooth cost no less than three thousand six hundred and- fifty dol lars; but it was. the tooth of Sir Isaac Newton. = A relic collector sold it at auction in 1846, "and the nobleman who bought it gave it the place of a diamond in his favorite ring. Another tooth, which so far excites the veneration of hero worshipers as to be able to hold a court of its own and to draw -from long distances a small host of followers, is’ one that was originally hidden behind the lips of Victor Hugo. It is kept at his former residence in a glass case bear- ing the inscription, “Taoth drawn from the jaw of Victor Hugo by the dentist on Wednesday, August 11, 1871, in the gardens attached to the house of Madame Koch, at three o clock in the afternoon.” The wig of & Nterary man pppura to have been even more sought after than his teeth. That which Sterne ‘wore while writing “Tristram Shandy” ‘was sold soon after the writer's death for - ten: ‘thousand dollars; .and the favorite chair of Alexander Pope brought five thousand dollars. ‘The most extravagant instance of literary hero worship is that of a well- known .

There s a card at the office for Bertha, and the message that it contains s such that Postmaster Glynn and clerks are anxious to have it reach its destination. The message s as follows: “Dear.

Paris, May 14.—Jean Bouin, cham- pion French runner, announced today at an athletic 'meeting called to arouse enthusiasm for the next Olym- pic games ‘that he will - attempt a world’s record for the hour run some time next month. He will probably go to Sweden to turn the trick, as that track is thought to be the fastest in the world. MUCH VIRTUE IN GOOD YAWN Beneficlal Exercise, Though It Might Be Well for One to Select the Time and Place. Yawning may be rude—especially in’ company—but it is a good thing for you to do. For one thing, it ventilates the lungs.. When you take an- ordinary breath the lungs are not completely filled, nor are they thoroughly emptied by an ordinary respiration. ‘ There is & certain quantity of air left in the lungs always, which phys!ologlsts call “residual air.” This air in‘time becomes foul and affects the 'blood, and through the blood the nervous centers. Certain nerves get' tickled, as it were, and the result i a yawn, stretching the lungs to their fullest extent, filling them with clean, fresh air and driving the foul air out. That’s one reason why it is good to yawn. For another, yawning opens and stretches and ventilates all-the various passages leading to the lungs. You will perhaps be surprised to know that yawning is even beneficial to your hearing: . The cracking sound which you so often hear when giving an extra big yawn is due to the stretching and opening of . the ‘eustachian tubes. ‘These tubes communicate between the ear-and the back of the throat. If ‘they rg congested, which happens ‘when you.have a bad cold in the head, panlo complain of deafness. , - It you feel inclined to yawn, then, do so. 1t is ‘Nature’s way of cleaning out your lungs and air passages. FOUND OUT WHO HAD CORNS Itinerant Merchant's Method of Doing Business Somewhat Rough, But He Got the Money. “My stars!” exclaimed a man, push-| ing. someone who stood near him, “you have trod on my corn!” The fellow ‘snatched out a box of ointment and ‘replied: “I can relieve you, sir, in‘a few' min- utes.. Only a:quarter. HEndorsed by the = medical;/fraternity: everywhere. There'’s no use in suffering. One box? Thank you,” he added, as he put the money in his’pocket. “It was an accident you found him,” someone remarked to the salve deale: “Oh, no, it wasn’t. If you ask a man if he's got corns-he don’t want to talk to you; but when you find out that he's got ’em, the chances of sell- ing him the medicine are good.
