SpeciaI to The Globe.

RICHMOND, Ind, April 3-The wfntry
blasts that settled down upon hoosierdom
early in the week gave way to clear skies
and warm sunshine for the first time this
afternoon, and Manager Kelley was all
smiles when he led the Saints of 1902 out
to the driving park, where three hours
of real practice were used up.
Kelley reached here ahead of his play-
ers. Cook and Ferguson followed him
from st. Paul, and Chech was the next
man to report. Hurley, Jessup and
Pierce, catchers, have reported to the
managers and now he does not care if he
ever hears from Bill Wilson again. With
these three men In the backstop depart
ment Kelley is ready to start off the
season. Danny Shay came on to the train
ing quarters from his home, and Higgins
and Geier followed him. Geier may be
used at third base If the men signed by
Kelley continue to think Stallings' offers
mean work for the entire season
Pitcher Evans must also be included In
the list Of players reporting.
Manager Kelley had everything ready
for the trip to st. Louis The team was to
leave for RobisOn's town tonight but ar
the last moment Kelley received a tele
gram informing him that the grounds at
st. Louis were not in shape and that the
weather made it impossible to even think
Of baseball. The trip was called eff.
If the conditions change tomorrow the
team will leave on the night train for
the Saturday and Sunday games ans will
return to Richmond Monday morning.
Kelley has not heard from Lumley and
Warner and those two men have been
reported in the contract-jumping class he
still believes that they will put in an ap-
pearance.
The manager of the Saints admits that
Winter, Brain and Wilson have jumped
their contracts, but he refuses to feel
discouraged. He insists that he is pleased
with the outlook for getting together a
strong team.
Late tonight Kelley received word from

Pittsburg Man Says Pressure of Pri-
waite Business VIII Keep
Him Engaged All

NEW YORK, April 3.-National league
executive power will this year be vest
ed in a triumvirate consisting of Presi-
dents John T. Brush, of the Cincinnati
club; James A. Hart, Of the Chicago
club, and A. H. Soden, of the Boston
cub. Mr.. Brush is the chairman and
will preside at the league meetings This
decision was reached late tonight after
a long discussion between the managers
following the receipt of a telegram from
w. C. Temple, Of Pittsburg, declining
the tender of the presidency of the
league, made by vote of the managers.
Mr.. Temple Too Busy.
NEW YORK, April 3.-The National
league baseball magnates, in session here
this evening, received a telegram from
w. G. Temple, of Pittsburg, declining the
position of president OF the league, Of
fered him yesterday. Mr.. Temple de-
clines on account Of pressure of private
affairs. He is at present in Florida.
The baseball managers had been in ses-
sion some time today and were busily
engaged in committee work when Mr..
Temples telegram was received. The
text of it follows:
IN. E. Young, Chairman of the Ma
tional League-Express to the league my
high appreciation of their confidence in
vent my acceptance.
Wv. G. Temple.
The declination was a severe blow to
the magnates and all expressed disap-
pointment. 1t necessitated going over
again the whole ground of the selection
Of a governing head for the league. 1t
was this question and the adoption of
playing schedule that occupied the time
Of the magnates at the session tonight.
During the morning and afternoon the
work discussed in committee referred to
the schedule and the bids for an official
ball. The schedule committee spent many
hours discussing the subject of dates,
having three propositions before it. It's
elaboration resulted in the rejection of
all three and a determination to draft
new one to present to the conference
Chairman Young announced the follow
ing appointments of umpires for the com
ing season:
Robert Emslie, ''Hank" O'Day, Tom
Brown and Joseph Cantillon.
An appointment was offered to Thomas
Lynch, but he refused it.

DODO IS WORSE THAN JAY.
It's Not FIattering to BE Called by
This Extinct Birds Name.

The latest contribution from the stage
to the slang Of the street has a true sci
entifc basis 1t is very likely none of
the theatrical managers whose companies
have thus helped along the cause Of sci
epce would plead guilty to the charge
They are responsible, neverth eless, Tor a
widespread interest in the Dod1 bird.
which all the museums and Institutions
Of scientific research could neyer nave in
spired in a hundred years.
1t would be difficult to Indicate just
what is signifed by such phrases az
You're no Dodo bird" or Hes O true
Dodo." But 1t may be taken for granted
that to be called Dodo is anything but
complimentary. 1t seems to mean what
ever is opposed to the ready wit and easy
bearing Of a gentleman like Lord Ches-
terrified, of whose life the comedians Of
vaudeville and the girls IN the comic opera
choruses have Invariably a completes
knowledge.
Scientifically the Dodo has been extinct
about 200 years. From It's pictures it was
a round. fat bird. somewhat like a swan.
but so grotesque as to make one laugh at
the sight of it, The encycl )paedia calls it
"a genus of birds commonly ranked
among the BreVipennes or StruthOuS
birds" 1t is described as "a bird of very
heavy, clumsy form and corresponding
gait with short, thick, scaIe-covered
legs; three rather short toes before and
one behind; large head; very large bill;
the wings so short as to be OF no use for
flight, and furnished only with a few
black feathers; the general plumage Of a
kind of grayish down; the tail merely a
bunch of curiousy CURED feathers"
Dodo birds were found in great a5und-
ance in the French islands Of Nautilus
and Reunion formerly called Bourbon,
both Of which are In the Indian ocean.
When some Of the earliest travellers to
those islands first encountered the bird
it abounded 50 pIentifully that it was
rather in the way than otherwise. IL was
unable to fly and ran 50 slowly il could
be Killed easily. and the travellers became
satiated with the flesh. In spite VI It's
great bill the Dodo is believed TO have
lived only in tropical woods and on a
vegetable diet.
In explanation OF this latest theatrical
byword then It may De fairly surmised
that a "Dodo"- is not an object Of grace,
that he is easily killed; that stupidity is
his chief characteristic, and that his anat-
ony tends to emphasize an abnormally
large head with a huge mouthpiece di-
verted from its proper use.-Washingt1
