Young Rockefeller Pouts.

John D. Rockefeller, Jr., absented
himself yesterday from his Sunday
school class, and did not even follow
the usual custom of sending word that
he would not be present. Members of
the class who are in. Mr.. Rockefeller 8
confidence said he was incensed over
remarks made by DR.. Charles P.
Fagnani Of the Union Theological semi
nary a few nights ago, at the monthly
dinner Of the Baptist Social union.
Dr.. Fagnani harked back to SER
mon delivered to his class by Mr..
Rockefeller in which the latter lauded
Joseph to the skies and commended
him for his historic first corner in corn.
DR.. Fagnani branded Joseph a king Is
jackal, and said he should be held
up to the obliquy of all men. He said
Joseph not only robbed the people of
Egypt of their corn but made slaves of
them for king.
Young Mr.. Rockefeller read this
speech in the newspaper and confded
to several members Of his class his opin.
ion Of it. He thought Dr., Fagnani had
gone out of his way to hold him up tc
ridicule. According to some Of his
friends in the Bible class, this was his
reason for not attending the class yes
terday.

Manager McCloskey of the ST.. Louis cardinals
has announced he had appointed William p.
(Spike) Shannon captain of the cardinals for
the season. Shannon will be in charge of the
team when it faces the browns in the first
game the latter part of this month. Shannon S
selection is somewhat of surprise, it is
customary to place an infelder in charge of a
nine. But so far as the man himself is con-
cerned better selection could not have been
made, as Shannon is fighting player, who never
gives up until the last man is out, and who,
besides, possesses an excellent head.
McCloskey said that he had appointed Shan
non captain because Of his aggressiveness Nc
Closkey wants leader who will put some gin
GER in the game, and who not be ''blufed.' .
Shannon will I'LL the bill In this particular and,
besides, is pretty sure again to be one Of the
leading players of the team this season. He
has batted around 300 since he went to
the cardinals, three years ago; and his fielding
has been brilliant. He is fast and daring on the
bases. 80 .-.". .zT
Shannon joined the team three years ago while
Donovan was in charge, and played right field
for while. When Barclay became i'll he went
to left, where he has played ever since. Shan
non originally came from Indianapolis, and he
was leading batter and fielder in the Ameri
can association. His home has been in Mime.
apolis during the off season. rule, but last
winter he spent on the coast
