Interest in The Times juvenile League IS
gro wing. The parents and relatives OF Tie
prospcctive clubs are giving the boys much
encouragement, and the lads are dong
everything in their power to make the
permanent organization a big success.
The committee on eligibility is doing
excellent work, and are very diligent.
They are using every means for a careful
investigation, and the wisdom of the ap-
pointmcnt OF the committee is shown in
the fact thatnot a few clubs have members
beyond the age limit, and all these will be
debarrcd from entering the League.
WILL BE READY TO REPORT.
Masters Butler. Hurley and Myers are
energetic in their work. and they are ably
assisted by a number of other club MEN,
bers who are anxious that no fraud as to
age shall be perpetrated. They will be
ready to report next Monday at AIS p. m.
The committee on constitution are pro
crossing with reasonable Judgment, and
when its work is finished it Will no doubt
be entirely satisfactory to the entire league.
From what can be learned from the
eligibility committee it is likely that 1t
viii recommend a twelvc-club league, and
that each team be entitled TO fourteen
regularly signed men.
Tracey Mulligan. of the Cliffburn team,
is taking an active part in the forma ton
of the league, and his efforts have been
greatly appreciated. The members OF the
Senator Juniors are also doing good
work.
DR.. KIRBY A FRIEND OF THE BOYS.
The various teams which are being in
veStigatcd rs TO age, need not have any
fear that they will be unfairly dealt with,
as all work in that line will be done in an
impartial manner.
DR.. Kirby, who was present at the in
formal meeting last Monday, is not re-
manning quiet. He is working earnestly
TO have the boys, as lie is pleased to call
them. thoroughly organized. He is using
his influence to have the league a great
success, and is decidedly in favor of ex-
Guiding all boys beyond the age limit.
"Start the league right he said the
other evening, land the boys will take
care that The Times has made no mistake
in its efforts 10 develop the young ball
player. / am in it heart and soul, and will
do all in my power to make The Times
Juvenile League Respectable and cred

EQUAL to the Occasion.

A distinguished actor of the present day
was one time engaged at one of our lead
ing provincial theaters in n drama in which
he attempts an escape from a convict pris-
on, first by getting rid of his fetters by
means OF file. and lastly by getting
over the prison wall. In the act of doing
this he is shot at by a warder and killed.
One particular night the drama had run
its usual course up to the point where the
actor attempts the escape over the prison
wall. The warder. as usual, presented his
rifle. but instead of loud report nothing
but faint clicking sound was heard. The
rifle was lowered and. after a brief delay,
again poiuted. but with the same disap-
pointing result.
The audience now began to hiss and ieer.
The disgusted actor then got off the pris-
on wall and staggering toward the foot
lights exclaimed: Its all upi I've swal-
lowed the fiie!' and fell prone on the
stage amid the laughter and applause OF
the audience.

Americans Speak of Their Victories
at Ancient Athens.
Courteous and Liberal Treatment Re.
ceived ut the Hands of the
Greeks and Others.

| New York, May Eight members OF
the Boston athletic team, who participated
in the olympic games recently held at
Athens, landed yesterday afternoon. James
B. Connolly was the only member of the
team who did not return 10y the Lain.
Mr.. Thomas F. Burke, in speaking OF
The glorious victory Won in Athens, said:
The Greeks were not in 1t with our team.
Those fellows are undoubtedly great ath-
letes, but they do not know the game
They run like chumps They have great
grit and good staying powers, but they
are not 'heady' enough in the game for
Americans. They are not up to snuff,
and know few ,of the ropes. They took
their defeat very cheerfully, and said they
did not mind defeat, because Americans
were their conquerors. They have great
admiration for our country over there.
THE climate of the country greed with
US beautifully and none of the boys was
sick at any stage of the game. The con-
ditions there for making fast time were
not good. The track was the worst l ever
run on. In going you would sink a foot
N the cinders. Otherwise the arrange
ments were complete. The whole army
was called out while we Were in A thens to
assist in the fetes.
I'm the twenty-five mile straight away
run every man was followed by two troop
ers In case any of the runners became sx-
hauSted and nee ded assistance. We could
not have been treated more literally or
courteous In our own country. The Greeks
from the highest to the lowest treated US
with great consideration and did everything
possible to show their appre citation of our
presence 10 their country
THE king and Crown Prince George were
notably lavish in entertaining us. Three
times were we banqueted in the palace by
the king. In fact, the whole Grecian royal
family are regular bricks. The king and the
prince in vited US to q picnic one day, and We
had an immense time. They both threw off
their dignity cloak for the occasion, sailed
right In, and were 'one of the boys for the
day. We played leap-.rog with his ma ajesty,
and his royal highness, had game Of base
ball with them, too, and they jumped and
romped about with US in great glee
prince George is a fine fellow. He likes
America very much, although he says the
last time he was here, when in Chicago,
lie was repeatedly taken for prize fighter.
When leaving Greece, on the whole line
along the railroad, from Athens to Patra,
we were serenaded by the multitude

Rev. Madison c. Peters, the famous

His answer is as follows: II do not
consider II any worse TO ride a bicycle
than to drive horse on Sunday. Think
4 little spin will do no one any harm
! would suggest that the bicyclist ride
FOR awhile In the morning, and then 60
20 church. The way some Of them 20
here Is undoubtedly 4 sin. They go all
day and all night, some OF them. They
wear old blOuscs. and get all dirty and are
not nice even 10 look at. l don't like
hat. think a man feels better behind
clean shirt.
while we all deplore the desecration
OF the Sabbath, and the bicycle seems to
be the worst enemy of the church Just now,
1t Is the dissipation In bicycle riding that
is wicked. ! believe you can dissipate IN
bicycle riding just as much as in anything
else. And they do that, many OF them.
II seems TO me TO be wrong for a man
or woman to spend the whole day in bicycle
riding.
II think they would all do better to
take spin for a couple OF hours in the
morning, and then go TO church.
They can ride their bicycles to church
If they like. III venture to say they can
ride to any church In New York and find
place for their bicycles
