stranger to Pittsburg theater-goers. He
was with James K. HacKett In "The
Prisoner Of zenda" and with Daniel Froh-
mans Lyceum Theater company on the
occasion of their visits here a few seasons
ago.
Mr.. Greenleaf has reputation as one
of the finest long-distance amateur
swimmers in the world. He has had
ample opportunity to observe the sport in
all its phases. as he holds a medal from
the Humane society of Boston for saving
twenty-seven lives. Mr.. Greenleafs s record
as a long-distance swimmer includes
twenty miles down the Merrimac river,
from Haverhill to Newburyport, in 1898,
and from Newport to Narragansett pier,
rounding the Brenton reef lightship, a
distance Of sixteen miles, and q feat on
which a hundred experts from all coun-
tries have failed. Mr.. Greenleaf was seen
at the rehearsal of "Her Majesty" yester-
day, when he said, among other things,
about swimming:
almost anybody can learn to swim,
and almost everybody does, but there are
things connected with the exercise which
are strangely unknown to thousands of
its devotees, and have attracted the at
tention of experts only during the last
few years.
"a very remarkable thing about rescues
from accidental deaths and one which
is completely at variance with popular
theories, is that the rescued person In
variably detests the man who has saved
his life. The statements IN novels and
love stories about the rescued one feel
ing lasting sense Of gratitude and rich
ly rewarding the hero are pretty but abb
solutely wrong.
81 have drawn the attention of several
prominent psychologists to this matter,
and they explain 1t by saying that the
person whose life was endangered Is so
filed with horror over the incident that
he or she dislikes every feature connected
with 1t, including the life-saver.
''The unsavory notoriety which some
times follows a rescue disgusts many of
the saved people, who think that the
man who pulled them through the water
did so to get his name in the paper, never
thinking of the fact that If they had not
begun to drown he could not have made
a rescue. There Is also q feeling that
their saver could rightfully demand any
thing they have, and this self-conscious
feeling produces mental reaction which
transforms into antipathy the gratitude
you might expect.
Another mistaken impression about
swimming rescues which has caused the
loss Of many lives is the belief In the
celebrated but non-existent death grip
This belief has caused many people who
would have attempted rescues to keep
away for fear they might be carried down

: There was a league bowling contest at
the alleys of the Washington Sangerbund

CAROLS won each of the three games.
This was practically a 20-to-1 shot, the
saying of which Is no disparagement to
the institute men, for the mighty Saengers
have had no difficulty in proving their
strength in their earlier contests. So that
for any league team to come to their al
leys with expectations of a three-time
victory was out of the question. The vic
tory was therefore as surprising to the
CAROLS as it was unexpected by their op-
ponents.
But perusal of the scores shows that
while the CAROLS bowled magnificently.

the 800 score in each game, the Saengers
We're decidedly off form, and after the
first game played quite poorly. The Car
rolls brought along a big aggregation Of
rooters, who took their places at the side
of the alleys, while the Saenger cohorts
were lined up behind the players. Need
less to say. most of the cheering came
from the side. The gathering was one Of
the largest of the year.

Except for Scheuerman's scores, all of
the home team played below their usual
standard, the loss of the initial game ap-
parently dsheartening them.
The opening game was a royal struggle,
in which each side stood an equal chance,
for several frames. to win. The start was
about even, though after a few frames
the home team had slightly the better of
it. But Rice's steady run soon placed his
frame, gave the CAROLS an advantage
which was maintained to the end. The

LOCAL OUTLOOK BRIGHT.
Manager Lotus Will Reap the Benefit

Manager Lotus Will Reap the BeneAt
of Manning's Hard Work.
A correspondent of the Chicago Tribune
in this city writes as follows on the Wash
ington base ball situation:
From Washington standpoint the fight
in the National has immeasurably strength
ened the American League. In spite Of all
the harsh treatment received there re-
manned here a prejudice in certain classes
for the old league. The bursting Of the
smoking National League embers into
flames of open rupture, however, has in a
way reflected the real strength of the
younger league, and has swept away the
last ties of sentiment for the boss-ridden
National. The coming season locally prom
ises to be even more successful than the
first.
All the talk about the Washington club
having lost big money last year Is twad-
die. The clubs financial showing, under
the circumstances, was really remarkable.
Notwithstanding the cost of fitting up a
new ball park and the hundred and one
items of expense incident thereto, the only
entry on the wrong side of the ledger was
Jimmy Manning's salary-a question of
little over 5000 This for the first year,
with poor schedule, loss of Sunday and
holiday dates by bad weather. the death Of
President Mckinley and the, bad slump of
the team after months play.
While the holdings Of local people in the
new club are small compared with those
of Messrs. Postal and LOTUS. the newly
elected board of directors in other ways
adds strength that few local clubs have so
far been favored with. Among the direc-
tors are John O'Donnel, Eugene Cochran,
G. Hector Clemes, John Hogan, James
Dunn. Charles Jacobsen, Louis Shoemaker.
Wilton. ]. Lambert and William Hart, who
did much to establish the American League
here. With these men to second the ef-
forts of the newcomers to give the capital
a winning team, Messrs. Postal and LOTUS
are in fair way to reap from the soil titled
by the sweat of Jimmy Mannings brow.

to DEBORAH last Thursday, expecting
to spend the afternoon attending the
best day of racing ever seen in the
city. Little Squaw, 2:06, Alpha w.,

speedy PAGERS and trotters were ready

to the winner of the days races, es-
pecially of the free-for-all pace. 1t
was believed that every horse had been
entered to win, and that fine eX-
hibition Of speed would be witnessed
but about noon it began to rain, and
kept it up nearly all the afternoon, so
that the days races had to be declar-
ed off, and the meet closed. AS a
result the gentlemen who were behind
the meet will lose quite heavily, for it
was expected that the crowd on Thurs
day would be large enough to make
up the difference for the light attend
ance Tuesday. However, those who
witessed the first two days racing

Thanks Amid Misfortune.

This seems TO be a year of floods,
cyclones and volcanic eruptions. The
financial loss in and about DEBORAH is
variously estimated at from enc to two
hundred thousand dollars But the
loss of the little innocent child who
fell victim to the flood is so great
that the human mind cannot grasp it.
All others can be repaired but this is
irreparable, and the heartfelt sym
pathy of all goes out to the bereaved
family Under the vigorous manage
ment of our city council as we'll as
the citizen, the last remnants of the
flood will soon disappear and the lily
of the valley will grow and bloom
around the beautiful homes ON the
lowland as heretofore. 1t may seem to
be selfish but it is natural that with
the wonderful commotion of the ele-
ments over a great part of the world,
our loss is so trifling compared with
thousands of others, that we should
all feel thankful that our calamity is
as light as it is.
