Difference Between Tucker and
from an Experts Standpoint.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: Will you
kindly try to explain the recent action of the
officials of the Brooklyn Baseball Club in re-
leasing Tucker and keeping Lachance on the
team, when there is as much difference be-
tween the two as there is between day and
night. The patrons of the Brooklyn club look
for u winning team, hence tho present slump in
attendance, which in the long run will tell in
the accounts at the end OF the season. 1t also
shows that the officials of the club are not look
ing for the welfare and satisfaction of its
patrons. but for all there is in the game, so far
as the sale Of players is concerned, The
Judgment of the manager is plainly seen in the
recent release Of Anderson, who is now playing
like. n young blood for Washington. and who is

Hence. on a general average. it will be seen
that the name Of Lachance. should not be
spoken in the same breath with that Of Tucker:

Diplomatic Spanish.

An American, who years ago served
as our minister to Spain, was fond of
telling the follow joke upon himself:
Shortly after he had become settled
in his new home he was hidden to a
state ceremonial, where he was to be
presented to the king. His knowledge
of languages was limited to English
and French. and being DESTROYS of ad-
dressing the sovereign in his own
tongue. he took pains to coach" for
the occasion, Several phrases were
rehearsed until he felt that he had
mastered them. When the critical
moment arrived he saluted the king
with great dignity, spoke q few words
in Spanish, and passed on.
What did you say?" asked an En-
glish gentleman.
81 spoke in Spanish" WAS the re.
joinder. 81 said L cast myself at your
feet, which [ am told is the most res
pectful form of salutation."
"Ah, no." corrected a Spaniard. who
had been observed to smile at the am
bassador's greeting. "You are mis-.
taken; you transpOsed your words, and
quiet altered the meaning"
"What did l say" asked the diplo
mat.
With twinkle in his eye, the Span
| lard made answer, "What you really
said was, Il throw my heels at your
head"
But the king had not betrayed, by sc
much as the futtering of an eyelid, tina
anything unusual had occurred.-Har

taking the limp body from the cage, he
carefully examined 1t for any possible
signs of life, and, finding none, laid it
beside the cage while he acquainted
the authorities of the place with the
sad news. He hastily returned, for
numerous cats roam at large in the
gardens: and it was not desired that
the beautiful orange and black coat be
ruined by the marks of feline teeth, as
the visitor from the Punjsb was des-
tined to occupy q conspicuous position

But he had not noticed speck hig b

there is q child tradition and q child

songs our American children are max

the Spanish war, for instance. Here's
one that Is evidently new and Ameri-

those about Spain:

CINCINNATI enquirer.
In the recent naval appointments
and promotions is noted the promotion
OF Ensign A. L. Norton to that OF lieu
| tenant. Lieutenant Norton is on the
United States monitor Miantonomah.
There Is story connected with the
appointment of Lieutenant Norton to
| the naval academy, which, although
known to few friends of the family,
has probably never appeared in print.
| The examining committee at the ma
val academy, before whom he had to
pass his preliminary examination.
came near rejecting him, but was final
ly prevailed upon to give him six
months time in which to grow a half
inch in order to reach the required
height for the service.
He returned home and took all kinds
OF gymnastic exercise, but, stretch
himself to his utmost, he still lacked q
quarter of an inch. When it came
time for bim to report he took two of
his trusted friends with him, telling
them he needed their assistance.
On the morning of the day for the
final examination Bert was up bright
| and early, and, awakening his chums,
presented one with piece of paste
board, and the other with q goOd-sized
plank. Placing the pastebOard on his
head he commanded one to whack him
over the head with the plank.
The blow was not hard enough to
suit him and he gave the command
5sgain, "Hsrder."
Still he was not satisfied, and he gave
another command. zone more, hoy,
and let her be good onen'.
Whack came down the plank on
| young Norton's head and he settled
back into his chums' arms unconscious.
The boys worked over him for awhile,
and as soon as he regained conscious
ness his first act was to feel of the top
of his head, when glad smile spread
over his face, for he had well-develop-
ed case of ''swell-head, (which increas-
ed his stature full half an inch, and she
passed the scrutiny of the examiners
without any trouble.
