 MT. Taft was selected for the portfolio be- cause of his knowledge of Philippine matters. From 1901 to 1903 he served as civil governor of the Phil iDDnes and proved the man for rhe nlace dealing

AMERICAN LEAGUE
STRONGER ON THIRD

According to Patsy Donovan, the
Senator'S manager. who took in the
games between the Pit4sburg and
Cleveland teams, there is one place
where the American League has the
National beaten In the matter of fast.
clever players, and that is at third
base, says the Sporting News"
Patsy paid fine tribute to Tommy
Leach when he said that outside of the
little Pirate there is not what he
called frst-class guardian Of the
third tack in the National, whereas in
the American there are at least five
first-ciass men in that position.
Donovan pointed to the work shown
by Bradley in the post-season series as
a fair sample of the third base work
put up in the American. He points to
Collins. Of Boston; Conroy. of New
York; Cross, Of Philadelphia. Coughlin.
Of Detroit. and Tannehill, of Chicago.
as being past masters IN the work of
third base. and also states that by
reason OF these men being stars in
their 15osjtioas 1t is much harder
to get away with the bunt in the
American than it is In the National
In support of this he pointed out that
the Pirates tried to do little bunting
in the post-season series because Brad
lay was too fast for such attempts.

we will let this subject drop. Take a
pointer from me, however. When you
set out to kill me make quick job Of
it. If you don't I'll have you roasted

Nizam went away to his room to

for the colonels death. He would have
given everything but his own life to
bring 1t about 1t was true that for
four years he had been ready for any

picious. He knew of several Wallets
who had killed their sahibs, and each
and every one had been found out and
punished, no matter how sharp they
were. He had often wondered IL the
sahib colonel suspected his feelings,
and now that he knew he did he might
be taken out and shot any day. The
Hindoo's alarm lasted for a month.
Then he began to pluck up heart again.

There were guests at the mess that
