THE NATIONAL GAME,

CARUTHERs's pitching days are over.
KELLY is Nash's successor as Boston cap
tain.
SANDERS is now LouisviIle's winning pit.
cher
THIS is truly the championship race of the
decade.
PITCHER KNELL has signed with Phila-
deIphia.
BAssETT is fielding nd batting finely for
Louisville.
GLAsscocK, of st. Louis is again playing
dirty ball"
THE pace seems to be too hot for Getzein,
the ST. Louis pitcher.
ANsON. of Chicago, has decided to take a
team to Cuba next winter.
NEW YORK was never such strong base
running team as al present.
CRANE and Rusie are at last doing some
good pitching for New York.
DAVIS. of Cleveland, is in the very front
rank of all around ball players
GORE, late of New York, has been ap-
pointed captain of the st. Louis Club.
THE ST. Louis team is playing the best
game of any losing club in the country.
FOUR ex-Brooklyn players are now with
Pittsburg, viz, Terry, Donovan, Corkhill
and Bierbauer.
PORTER, the catcher of the Atlanta (Ga.)
Grub, has only two fingers on his left hand,
but is clever backstop nevertheless.
TIE New Yorks seem to have pickkd up
jewel in Doyle. He is not only catching
remarkably we'll but is batting hard AMI
effectively.
BURKE is playing fine second base for
New York. He is quick in touching rum
on the line, and makes double play
without loss Of time.
SOME years ago Gillespie, while with the
old NETS" ir sisted that he couldn't afford
to play for $500 per season. Now he is
making about dollar day at coal min
ing.
CHICAGo's whilom grand combination of
players-Flint, Corcoran, Goldsmith, Arson,
Pfeffer, Burns Williamson, Dalrymple.
Gore and Kelly is considered by experts the
best team ever put together.
ONE of the gratifying results of the con-
solidation is the discipline and good behavior
that now prevails among the play ers. the
Capitalization of power in the hands of the
magnates has LED to the elimination of the
same hotel with ball player terror to all
the other occupants
BASEBALL is a peculiar business and the
artists who play it are merely transients.
When their usefulness is at end they are
bundled off the sporting earth with but
scant ceremony. Once New York raved over
Ewing. Two years ago he could have
strangled the Brotherhood. Nov the threat
to put him off the team arouses no comment
whatever

The President at the Capitol.

The President spent considerable time dur
ing the evening in a reception room off the
Senate lobby signing bills. Senators carIe
in to shake hands with him and ask about
Mrs. Harrison.
Various bills were presented, and then
with unusual ceremony the Senate clerks
brought in the bill which was Immediately
signed, appropriating 81, 500 600 to aid the
exhibition worthy of the name.
About 1920 the committee appointed to
notify the President that Congress had
completed its labors entered the room. It
was composed of Senators German and AL
lison and Representatives McMillin, Fell
lows and O'Neill, of Massachusetts,. The
President greeted each cordially and de-
clared that he had never received message
in his life that was more welcome.
A pile of pension bills had gathered on the
Presidents table by this time, and, after he
had attached his signature to the last one, he
arose with sigh of relief. put on his hat.
and, accompanied by Secretary Tibbott,
entered the White House carriage, which
was in waiting at the east front.
Just three minutes later the big bay team
that draws the Presidents carriage pulled
up alongside the tracks at the Baltimore and
Potomac station. The President and Mr..
Tibbott sprang out and climbed up the steps
of the private car.
Standing on the platform the President
waved the signal to the stationmaster and
at II 04 o'clock the Irain shot out of the
station bearing the President to his sick
wife at Loon Lake.

THE SANTA MARIA'S VOYAGE.
SPANS Celebration of the Sail.
Ing; of Columbus.
The Little Caravel Starts From
the PORE of Palos.

A cablegram from Palos, Spain, says.
On the four hundredth anniversary of the
day on which Columbus set sail from Palos
westward on his voyage of discovery the
festivities arranged here for celebrating the
day were carried out with great eclat.
The view from the town, however, was
obscure1 by a thick mist which hung over
the river and rendered it impossible to
more than dim outline of the bulls Of the
vessels lying at anchor.
At o'clock, the hour at which Columbus
began his voyage, the caravel Santa Maria.
constructed in imitation of the vessel of that
name belonging to the Columbus expedi-
tiOn which had been. lying off shore all
night, set her sails for her passage through
the lines of warships anchored outside the
bar but owing to the dead calm line was
run to her from a gunboat, and she was
towed down stream, followed by the Span
ish fotiila in single file Minister Of Marine
Montigo was on board the warship Legespi.
The voyage down the river past the Mon
astery of La Rabida, on which the flags Of
all the American States were flying. to the
bar occupied about an hour
Outside the bar were moored the vessels
of the foreign squadrons which had come to
take part in the celebration. These vessels
were formed in lines, between which the
caravel passed amid the laundering salutes
and deafening cheers.
Inc InlSC ana Cne smoke from Cne guns
made 1t Impossible to watch the manOeuvreS
of the caravel which followed for some dis
tance the route taken by Columbus 400 years
ago. At o'clock the little vessel returned
and re-entered the river.
The town of Huelva is crowde1 with
visitors, and all the buildings. both private
and public are gayiy decorated.
Fifteen of the Spanish flotilla conveyed
the Santa Maria several miles to sea, and
when the signal was given by the Spanish
Minister of Marine for the vessel to return
the caravel was given farewell salute.
The caravel returned with the hotilla to
Huelva. These manouvres were part of a
ceremonial in celebration of the departure
of Columbus.
A dispatch from Washington says: The
following cable messages were exchanged
on the anniversary day:
The President:

Two eagles hal duel to the death for the
possession of the six-months-old baby Of Pete
Shaw, who lives four miles north of Allis,
in Presque Isle County, Mich. a few days
ago.
Mrs. Shaw had laid the baby down in TIE
grass and returned to the house for few
moments when an enormcus eagle swooped
down on the infant and sunk its talons into
the little ones flesh and clothing.
The mother heard her baby's cry, but
came too late TO save it. The mothers
shrie!ls brought the father. who quickly
mounted horse ana armed with arife rode
to the shore of a nearby lake where he
knew was an eagle eyrie in the cliffs.
Shaw arrived just in time to witness a
terrible sight. Two eagles were lowering
above a crag of rock, filling the air with
their cries and battling for possession OF the
baby that lay high upon tue Cliff.
Before the father reache the Su nit one
of the eagles had fallen to the ground while
the other had again taken up the child for
another flight. The father fired, and the
bird and BABY fell into the water.
The frantic father plunged into the lake,
caught up the body. but-tne littia one was
dead. He TOOK home the body, q ing with
those of the two eagles, one or watch had
been killed IN the fight over the prey.

members shouted wildly for recognition,
waving papers in their hands. But they
were too late. Senator Crisp announced
that the hour of II o'clock had arrived, and,
bringing his gavel down on his desk with II
bang declared the first session OF the Fifty
second Congress adjourned without day.
4 great shout went up from the members
on the floor: great bundles of waste paper
were thrown high into the air and fell in
showers on the happy Congressman. while
from the press gallery came the deep reso-
nance of the DoxoIogv praise God from

Then there was a handshaking and many
eood-byes. and in half an hour the House OF
Representatives was deserted.
