Only Three of the Regular Pilot Play

The crippled Brunswick ball team
was defeated by Wayeross in the lat

Brunswick presented probably the
weakest team of the season in the
game while Waycross had prepared to
meet our strong Pilots and had secur-

was not a Waycross man on the team
not even one OF the fielders. But
even then. the semi-professionals were
held down well by crowd Of players
not very well known in local fandom.

regular members OF the Pilots playing
Ia the game, Walker, Abbott ana
Csoyatt. The balance. however. wore

Waycross made 8 runs in the sec

was made in the dfth. The Pilots
came near scoring in several innings,
but, owing to the inability of the new
players to hit the ball at the proper
time, the side was retired with men

The second game will be played

Frederick Warren is known among

and reputation in vaudeville. He is
q member of the team of Warren
and Blanchard. Nothing particularly
interesting concerning Mr.. Warren, I'M
less it be the fact that he was born
Feb. %, and recently celebrated one
of his few birthday anniversaries. At
his party he told this story:
1--WE were playing in London. Ont.
and at the close of our engagement L
went to see the customs clerk to ar
range for the transfer of our baggage.
While waiting for him 1 got into con-
versation with an old Scotchman who
greatly admired theatrical people and
loved to talk with them. He had met
a number and was tolerably familiar
with their ways. Turning to me, he
said:
"'Do you know all the good actors
are getting older every day; take joe

Belgium is world renowned, will be

ual exhibitors from Belgium. The APP
preparation of the government is 90O.-
600 francs. OF this there has been set
aside for a special livestock display
I 100000 francs, and the best horses and
cattle of the kingdom are to be
brought to ST. LOUIS.
Three hundred pictures and works
of SculptOrS by Belgian artists are to
be shown. More than a hundred art
lists are represented in the collection,
some of them famous the world over.
The grounds around the Belgian pa
vilion are to be made into a formal
garden of great beauty In front of
the main entrance is a bronze vase
from Belgium, f1anked by two tripod
hagstaffs. One of the most romantic
and delightful features of the entire
exposition is Belgium's chime of bells,
in a high belfry tower erected at the
corner of the governments allotment.
Longfellow's well-known poem, "The
Belfry at Bruges," doubtless will be
recalled to mind by this chime, and
when at twilight the music of the bells
pealS over the exposition grounds
thousands will be charmed.
M. Jules earlier, the commissioner
general from King Leopold's realm, is
enthusiastic over the exhibits from his
country. He states that in case the
| king himself is unable to come to the
exposition, the royal family will be
| represented by the crown prince, the
! kings nephew, Prince Albert, who.
when offered his choice of a tour as

LEOPOLD is OLDEST
KING IN BUSINESS
So Says Curtis Brown of the
Only Monarch Who Will Visit
the ST. Louis Fair.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-. March 26.-If King
Leopold should come to ST. Louis
Newspapers of a sensational turn have
speculated to a considerable extent
upon the visit of the king of Belgium
the only European monarch who thus
far has expressed an intention to at
tend the worlds fair at st. Louis
Those who really know the character
and ambitions Of King Leopold are
confident that his majesty will fulfill
his promise to visit the exposition, In
which event it is highly probable that
the American public will learn to look
upon this interesting personality from
an entirely new viewpoint.
Belgium is making a most creditable
showing at the great exposition, not
only in her general exhibits, but in the
size and character of her government
building, which is. one of the largest
foreign structures on the grounds. 1t
is apparent that the reigning monarch
of the little kingdom Is eager to show
the world that Belgium is really big
ger than it's SIZE" and the intimates OF
the king express the belief that he will
add the presence of the royal person

which he is presenting to the world on
the exposition grounds.
What manner of man is Leopold
Sensational American newspapers have
exploited him as gay TLothafio, and
have predicted that if Leopold should
come ito ST.. Louis he would "cut a
