Club strengthened.

These changes should prove very Dene-
fetal to the Washington club and are said
! to have been made on the advice Of Patsy
! Donovan, who is said to be with the club In
Philadelphia 1t has been demonstrated
that no amount of good fielding by the SEN
ators could win games. and batters were
sought for on every hand. Club managers
held on to the men wanted with tenacity
that was discouraging to the local manage
ment but the latter finally discovered an
opening and yesterdays trades were the re-
guilt.
Mr. Dwyer telegraphs home to the effect
that when the Senators start the home sea-
son here on Wednesday with the st. Louis
they will line UP as follows:
Patsy Donovan. right field and captain
Winters center field: Anderson. left field:
Beville first base; Mccormick second base;
Coughlln, third base; Moran, short stop;
Drill and Stahl, catchers. The pitching
corps will be Ortiz. Wilson, Patten, Mason,
Jacobsen and Dunkle.
From all known figuring on ball players,
this outfit looks to be fully 40 per cent
stronger than the Senators on the opening
day. This outfeld Is certainly strengthened
In fielding and while Anderson should equal
Selbach, Winters and Donovan are certain
ly superior to Hoffman and Thoney. On
the infield, Beville will be an improvement
on Stahl, as he will assuredly bat better
and he looks better from a fielding point OF
view.
The negotiations for Bill Douglass will be
continued and he may join the Senators
before the week is out. He has retired to
his home in the west and will not play with
the Phillies AS soon as the latter club re-
leases Douglas he will report In Washing
ton.
The retirement of Setback and Kittredge
from the Washington club is to be re-
GREETED on account of their good fellowship.

but the trade is believed to be for the bet
terment of the Senators and the end Justi-
fed the means. Setback and Kittredge are
pleased over the change to play with a
Strong team, and therefore their friends
here have no kick coming,

Don't Need Veteran Catchers.

Certain of the players think made
mistake letting Kittredge go. because Of the
young pitchers. We have four seasoned
slabmen In Orth. Wilson. Patten and Dun
kle so there is nothing to fear in the bat
terry end OF the game. Orth will report next
"Wednesday. If Beville doesn't thrive at
FIRST base I'll shift Anderson to that bag
and make UP an infield that should carry US
along.
THE club Is still waiting for George Win
ters. an outfielder. i sent him money and
tickets at st. Louis several weeks ago. The
last time / wired him to report Winters
said he would come when he got ready.
Then l placed the case in the hands of
President Johnson. 1 have a letter from
johnson stating he had set a st. Louis de-
tective agency on the trail of Winters We
are bound to get players II we have to call
on the police for help"
1t Is understood that Patsy Donovan
agreed to come on from St. Louis without
extradition.
There is nothing at present in the Town
eend-Barry trade" continued Mr.. Dwyer
THE Phillies offered the outhelder for the
erratic pitcher. and the deal would have
been made had not Chicago refused to
waive in the case of Barry. The Philadel-
phia club then offered to sell Bill Douglass

Built Like Noah's Ark

An extraordinary craft has just
been built by NJ. vogt, the Danish de-
signer, in an attempt to produce an ex-
act model Of Noah's Ark
To assist him in his task NJ. Vogt
had special translations made by dis
tinguished Hebrewists Of passages out
IF the Hebrew scriptures relating to
the ark and got ideas, too, from a
representation OF. Noah's craft on
coin dated 300 B. c., which is the prop
erty Of a museum in Copenhagen.
Owing to the methods employed IN
its construction, doubt was expressed
from the first as to whether NJ VOgt's
craft would float at all, let alone prove
seawOrthy in a blow" Popular IN

She Ran Into Trouble

The pretty little school teacher
burst into the room, her cheeks
a1ame, and flung herself down on the
couch, burying her head among the
cushions. "Oh. girls, girls, I've done
the most awful thing" she mOaned, to
the amazement of the other young
women who had gathered together for
their daily informal cup Of tea. When
she had regained cOmposure she ex-
planned:

such an interest in his little boys

IN the Ea ST

Oriental people are very averse to
physical exercise OF any kind. Their
idea Of enjoyment is to sit under an
awning and play backgammon. That
a man should go out and run around
a track in shameless nakedness, and
this with no hope of gain, only con
firms them in the belief that all Amer
leans are mad. But they are initiative
people, and some years ago the infiu-
ence and example Of the younger
teachers got a few of the preparatory
boys out for foot races. That day,
for Beirut, at least, the deafhblOw was
struck to the picturesque dress Of the
orient. You can't run a 100-yard dash
with long, baggy drawers and a silk
gUmbez that fiOps around your ankles
Even if you "gird up the loins," by
tucking your skirts into the sash, the
effect is more startling than speedy.
So, one by one, the students ordered
trousers from the city tailors. At first
they were poorly cut and viewed with

and a large party Of newspaper men,
the ark not only showed itself perfect
" sea worthy. but moved lightly and
quickly through the water. In fact. eX-
perts have declared that, IN spite Of
her rudimentary design. the strange
vessel is the steadiest craft ever seen
on the high seas.
As nearly as Mr. Vogt is able 70
judge, his vessel IS One-tenth the size
Of the original Noah's Ark and is Of
about 200 tons burden. Entering by
one Of the side ports. one finds a sur
prising amount Of cabin space despite
the low slOping sides As the craft
rides high in the water. plenty Of light
comes through the large port holes IN
the sides, which can be left open for
ventilation when the sea is smooth
Of course the ark is simply built
and very plainly furnished inside, to
correspond with the one to which the
survivors Of the first flood disaster are
believed to have :ntrusted themselves

the hall bell thrilled merrily, a pro-
