SERVED GEN JACKSON.


ID rx 70 r d.
A picturesque character Of the south
has just passed awayin Alfred Jacis-
son, the body servant of Pre- side ut An.
drew Jackson, relates the New York
Sun. He was 90 years old and his death
removed the last Of the family of sery-
ants of thescelebrated Hermitage un-
der it's first master. %z..:..#s% = IA
The reputation of "Uncle Alfred Is
he was known to thousands,is ma tional.
FOR years he ihad been the most inter-
esting figure at the Hermitage, where
he had lived almost century He Waa
born on the Hermitage farm soon after
Gen. jackson made that beautiful spot
his home. When the civil war broke
out he and his wife, Gracey, alone OF
the servants, stayed with their mis-
tress, never leaving the place for an
hour. '~"- -
In, the lifetime of Gen. Jackson the
old darby was one of the most favored
servants, and when the great man
passed away Alfred was It his bedside.
His chief characteristic was always his
extreme loyalty to Gen. Jackson. 9th
er men attained to some sort of re puta-
ton, but none-to him:-ever reached
the generals pinnacle of fame. When
Alfred was presented to ex-President
Rutherford b. Hayes he merely said:
EFF you had been as great man as
Ginral Jackson could most shake yo'
hand off," A.
The old servants greatest desire was
to be buried in the garden near the last
resting place of his former master, his
ideal of all greatness, and he has his
wish. He has been buried just north of
the tomb of Gen. Jackson, the Ladies'
Hermitage association directing this.

Growing Importance of the
 Game of esSquash'' in America


the weaker can have handicap that is, he can start with seven points. Thus any two players can meet in friendly match.
 .'The game is not so simple as 1t looks, for there is vast deal to be learned in it. To avoid putting the ball too high or too. low, to place the ball now down this side and now down that, to stand in the sideways position, all these and many other features of good play, are not acquired in q mo- ment. The sideways position is with the face or head of the racket up be- fore the stroke, as at golf. But at golf the player hits stationary ball at his leisure; at squash he has to hit a moving ball rapidly. He has to form one position or another the reverse of this in a moment if he wishes to make a face. stroke. Then, al gain, he has to choose. whether to let the ball bounce before he. strikes it or to take it on the vo1ley, as he has to choose at other racket games, such as lawn tennis.

.0This demands quick Judgment. Hence there is opportunity for real
 skill, and there is no other game in which a good player can beat a bad player in every point, and in which at the same time the bad player will play
 well enough to enjoy himself.
 '.In squash there is none of the de- spair of the golfer, who takes 50 strokes for single hole. It is partly for these reasons that the game is so. excellent for business men, even if they have had no previous training in
 ball games. In English schools we play these games from our youth even
 up to now Business men too often
 give up exercise because, usually they can only take it Cat least in an inter- esting form) during the daylight or business hours. This applies to
 rackets and urttennis, as well as to
 baseball, football, etc, which latter
 games are seldom kept up after the
 age of 25, especially by business men. Golf also demands daylight. It takes long time and is expensive. So busi-
 ness men will often read the paper,
 talk shop play cards, drink, smoke, etc., before their dinner Gymnastics do not attract them.''
 But Mir. Miles knows better than
 many others the men and women that
 are taking up squash in the east.
 Among the clubs that own squash
 courts are the Boston, Newport, New
 York, Ardsley, Haverford and Tuxedo
 country and golf clubs Some of the wealthiest people in the United States
 have become devoted squash players. "Women can and do play the game
 remarkably we'll, T continues Mir. Miles. ssOne need only to cite Mrs. Duncan, Miss Potter, Mrs. J.J. .Vatable, Mrs. T. s. Taller and Mrs. w. R. Garrison. The health of the women is of vital. importance for the health of the na- tion, and have always endeavored to show that squash is real inducement to women to take healthy and regu- lar exercise.
 e'How the American public schools,
 need winter games! I don't mean gym nastics or track athletics, but games At Marlboro we used to play squash in the open air, even on rainy days. Tn England we had football and hockey i'll the cold season, and still we had
 squash, sfives' and racquefs. Squash is
 invaluable as supplementary form of exercise to football, etc. Future ten
 his and racket players are the squash
 players of to-day
 "Another reason why squash is 9
 very healthy game is that it promotes
 heart action and induces the most ab-
 normal sort of precipitation. One man
 recently declared that it was the most
 pleasant form of a Turkish bath he
 had ever taken.'' D. G. WESTLAKE.

 2 Ii. was an April day here, with a March wind, but the wind only served to make the flies more difficult for the .outfielders to handle. The fantastic curves of the ball in the air after it was sent away from the bat kept the fly chasers guessing as we'll as chasing throughout the live-long day. The men were out early: in the morning and worked with more energy than ever after the Sunday rest. They returned to the city at noon, and a couple of hours later went out to the grounds again. The batting was the feature of the afternoon practice. Keeler, Farrell, Dahlen and Kelly lined them out in every direction. The pitchers have got along so well inSt the southern climate that they are beginning to throw the ball over the plate without fear of d strain or stiffened arm. Pitcher McJames, who signed With Hanlon yesterday, telegraphs that he will join the team tomorrow. Hughes. Hanlon thinks. will not get here in time to make the start to Norfolk, so he has been ordered to join the men in Norfolk on April 12. It is possible that Sheckard may come to Charlotte tomorrow. He sent a telegram yes terday asking what Hanlon's wishes were The Brooklyns will leave Char lotte at o'clock on Wednesday. night. The men go direct to Portsmouth, Va, where they will play the Portsmouth team on Thursday, Friday and Satur-
 day. They also have date with the Norfolk team on the Norfolk grounds.
 The Brooklyn manager is anxious to give his men all the practice games possible. He believes that is the only way to develop team work. When every man has a position to fill. as he has ilI q regular game, he will fill it better when there is some object in view than when a passed ball or a Emuffed ball or q bad throw means nothing but a reprimand from the cap- tain It is team work the champions want. As individuals they cannot be lbeateH.but the winning of pepnants requires balance and cooperation among the players as well as good batting and brilliant, fielding. So far the practice work here has shown that the champions know well how to play together They have been making things interesting around the bases and l in the infield, and when they line up for their first game in the south they
 are expected to show the southern
 players what scientific ball is at the present time.

CQUASH, squash tennis, squashball
 and squash rackets is a game that,
 despite its many unfortunate names, has risen to the dignity of hav- ing national tournament and na- tional champions. While it may never attain the popularity of outdoor ten his or golf, the sport is destined to in terest a great following, especially in the vicinity of New York, where the very rich people have declared in it's favor and built courts in their resi- dences and in their clubs. At Harrow, in England, squash rackets is as great a sport in it's season as is cricket or tennis. It was but a short time ago that the Tuxedo Racquet and Tennis club gave a tournament which was won by T. s. Taller, a well-known eastern player, who has the custody of the $500 trophy emblematic of the championship.
