T. c. De Leon the celebrated southern writer, In review of Margaret E. O Brien Davis literary work, written for the Att lanta Constitution shortly after her death, speaks of his experience when asked to review her first book; Judith. the Daughter of Judas:"
 Scarcely seven years ago the manager of the Mobile Register asked me to re- view book that had been sent him. It girl, and I had long ago severed my con- nection with this paper. Besides vicar ious criticism is ever a tha kless task; but this girls father was gallant sol dier, known to us both Still, there was an oppressive sense that crudity would treated with what leniency honesty might permit; so the mere reading of the story was pushed aside by other duties until the very eve of publication With effort and misgiving, Judith, the Daugh- ter of Judas" was opened for the first time. It bore the imprint of Lippineotts; but even that hopeful sign promised the critic little more than perfunctory mo- tice of the work of an untried girl of nineteen years. But the introduction was literally a revelation. The title showed that the author had left the trod- den field of society fiction, with it's pa per daisies of sentimentality, and had put behind her frills and firtations, boldly to tread those trying paths of the past, wherein only experienced feet of savans and scholars have ever ventured. But so much the more dangerous her te- merity, both for author and reviewer.
 That introduction promptly dispelled doubt and brought free-breathing inter- est in it's place. Its first page proved that this young girl had not only read, but thought. There were historical &C.,

curaey, archaeological research and keen comprehension, all distilled into the brief but vigorous narrative of ante-erucifix- ion scenes which were worthy of place in any great novel. Possibly weak in dramatic construction here and there, the description of the fremitus surging to the palace of Pilate; the line-stretch- ed picture of it's varied, embittered and furious components; the actual truth to local color-all these held the reader in thrall. The scene before him became reality. Then Pilate brought the bowl of water before the people, washing his hands of the blood of Christ; the weak wife of Judas pushing her way through the rough and surging multitude to hear the forespoken curse upon her unborn babe; her swooning uncer the unspeaka- ble agony of knowledge that this babe was to be the heritor of ages of seorn

Then the girl child is born. the dying mother consigning it to his guardian ship for rearing In distant Rome, ignor- ant of parentage and clinging curse; only the name Judith marking her the child of destiny. Bold essay, this, for young girl of nineteen; but that lntro- duction held me until the story was fin- ished, and I had written two columns of criticism by next dawn. I said then
 as I have repeated, that General Wallace had not been shamed by it's use in his great Story of the Christi" that, while no writer could have held to It's high key throughout the work, few could have limned better the Roman life of that day, with it's reflex on the pure young womanhood of the heroine, and on those historic men and women who surrounded her in Nero's infamous court.

"Pittsburg's outfield Is the best in the

When asked to explain the great work
done by the New York National League
team, Manager Griffith of the New York
Americans said. You see. it is this way:
There is no denying that New York has two
great pitchers in McGinnity and Mathew
son. Well, they are working in half of the
games played by the Giants. The rest of
the team would be outclassed In the Ameri-
can League, but in the National 1t looks
better than any of them except Pittsburg.
The latter club is. in my estimation, by far
the best in the league"
Ban Johnson did not overlook any one
connected with that fight between Burkett
and LOTUS at St Louis. He not only pun
ished the two principals, but he also repri-
manded Umpire Connolly because the lat
ter allowed the affair to reach the stage 1t
did. In making this ruling Johnson showed
tact and diplomacy. He did not stand by
for he found that he, too, was to blame.
Connolly should have prevented the row
by stopping LOTUS and Burkett from talk
ing to each other The punishment meted
out was not severe, because, as johnson
says the facts of the case were misrepre-
scented in the early reports of the row-Cin-
