To Develop Thorpe. Jim Thorpe, the tfamous Indian athlete who made such a big noise in the baseball world some time ago, but ‘who has not been heard from since the season started, may develop into a good pitcher. The réd man has been practicing with the spit ball and i8 confident that he will be able to mas- ter this style of delivery. The Giants will hold on to the Indian, as it 18 be: lieved that he will make a good player in time. Sure of Flag. Manager Griffith of the Washington baseball team, who made such a great showing last year, is quoted as saying “Barring accidents, we will surely win the American league flag this year. We finished second last year and certainly ought to improve this season and if we better our position we are bound to win the pennant.” That St. Louis club, Natlonal, is lable to rise up most any minute and ‘hammer the stuffing out of the sphere without any warning toot. P Howard Shanks, the young outfleld- er of the Senators, claims that the Pirates and Washington will fight for the championship next fall. . e s Meiji university, Tokyo, has cabled to the University of Washington base- ball nine an invitation to visit Japan and play a series of games.

The Browns scored on &im in the fourth’ inning Johnson now holds the record at 58 innings. Johnson's teammates claim this is a major league record for shutouts, and g0 far as known it is. Record books crediting Doc White of the White Sox with 56 innings and Jack Coombs of Waiter Johnson. the ‘Athletics with 53 innings have been proved incorrect, making au- thentic information concerning previ- ous performances of this kind diffi- cult to obtain. Johnson’s run of 58 ranloss innings hao boon vorifiod and found correct. All other claims are more or less open to doubt. Johnson’s record follows: April 10—Against New York.

NEUTRAL WATER IN RIVERS Where Fresh and Salt Come Together and for a Short Space the Two Elements Refuse to Mingle. According to old fishermen there is what might be called neutral ground, or rather neutral water, in rivers, where there is no use of trying to make a catch—unless it be that some fool fish with a piscatorial brainstorm snatches bait like an insane human might grab a red-hot stove. This neutral water is the part of the river where its flow encounters .he sa- line impregnation of the salt water of the bay or ocean ebb and the flow of the tide the salt water of the bay runs up into the river for miles, and on the reverse the fresh water de- scends several miles again to the bay leading into the salt sea. There is a midway between the salt and fresh water points, however, that very seldom shifts. Around this mid- way shad and blue and other salt-wa- ter fish, if they visit at all, will hover on the ocean side. On the fresh-water fringe will loiter such fish as inhabit currents that are devoid of the sa- line ingredient. If the fisherman hap- pens to cast bait in this neutral zone he is not likely to get either one kind or the other. Switzerland’s Second Bullet. Stvitzerland ia a small country, but she has a high opinion of her powers of self-defense, and an opinion that is probably well justified by the facts. Just at present a new picture post: card is attractiig a good deal of at- tention. It was issued in view of the approaching visit of the German em- peror, who is represented as stand- ing by the side of a Swiss soldier who has just fired at 8 target and made & bull's-eye. “Perfect, my ' boy,” says the ‘emperor. ‘“Switzerland has 100, 000 marksmen like you; but ‘what would you do if 200,000 Germans .8hould enter your country?” “In that case, sir,” ‘replies the soldler, “we would have to use a second bullet.”— Dundee Advertiser. - Here’s a Tip.

Make mental paths for Jt. Warm it with faith-hope, and con- fident expectation. Then move straight ahead, bewaring of sidetracking or wandering into bypaths. Choose the positive thing every time, discarding the ‘negative on every hand. See what you want, and where you are going—and then move straight to the mark, climbing over, or tunneling under, or moving dround, the obsta. cles in ‘your path—keeping your-eye ever on the goal until you and the goal blend into each other.

POOR WITNESS FOR DEFENSE Was Himself Under Suspended Sen- tenca for Misdemeanor of Which Friend Was Accused. An attorney representing a woman, charged in juvenile court with negleet- ing her three .children, subpoenaed several character witnesses to show that his client’s reputation for the care of her- children was good. A Russian, who has often been in court for neglecting his large family, was called as one of the witnesses. In answer to questions he told the court that he knew the defendant to be a woman of good character who cared for ber children. “Please state to the court,” said Earl Cox, deputy prosecutor, in cross- examination, “just how many times you have been arrested and tried in the last year for neglecting your nine children.” “I don’t know,” was the reply. “Isn’t it true that you are under & suspended sentence to the work- house on that charge now?” “Yes, &ir.” “You are waiting now to be tried for neglecting your own nine children and ignoring an order of this court? Your case is next, is it not?” *“‘Yes, sir.” “That is all,” said the prosecutor. The woman was found guilty.—] dianapolis News. Studying Abroad. Dr. Maverick, in the New York Medical Journal, calls attention to those American students who waste their tims and money, and sometimes fool their friends at home, by “study- ing abroad.” He cites the case of a disciple of Esculapius, who studied diseases of the eyeball three hours a week, and the peculiarities of the bil- lard ball six hours a day. He will spon return to this country as an eye speclalist. Others spend much more time in the cafes and music halls than In the hospitals. , Dr. Maverick writes of one who will soon open an office in & large American city as an expert on stomach troubles, but whose study has consisted chiefly in the effects of Hungarian goulash and Bunich beer on his own stomach. “Then,” he says, “there i8 the busy practitioner, wha rushes . through Vienna with exactly gix weeks to spare. He expects to gulp down a dose of foreign medicine a8 he would a cup of ¢offee-and & fried egg, and the result is mental in- digestion.” Knitted as She Rode.
