was just thinking Of Tebeau one day at
Cleveland when Tim held the indicator.
"Tebeau didn't like certain decision and
ran in to tell about it.
"Tebeau's usual methods toward an UNI
pire never phaSed Tim.
I'll get you for this after tn game,
yelled Tebeau; see If 1 don't
"'Well, remember I'll be in the midst OF
your getting act, answered Hurst. Now
go back and play ball.
"Tebeau went back, but kept growing all
during the game. When it closed he trotted
off with the rest of his players forgetting
all about his threats. But Tim didn't.
well. Patsy said Tim, quietly, the
game Is over now; come and get me:
"'Oh, that's all right laughed Tebeau.
Get me or apologize sternly demanded
Tim.
"And Tebeau apologized He did not
quarrel with Tim on the field after that,
either.
But then they are not all like Tim. The
first time Ed Beaton umpired game In
Kansas City he was nearly frightened to
death. Beaton came from Baltimore ana
thought the west was made up OF Indians
and train robbers. Kansas City was In the
| major league that year and the team was
called the Cowboys.
The boys were alive to his greenness and
started to scare him. They told him to
throw up his hands at the slightest warn
ing as they were liable to shoot him full OF
holes in Kansas City if he did not.
They shot the indicator out OF the last
his hand, but only laid him up for couple
of weeks
Instead of ringing bell at the hotel
for a bell boy said another, they shoot
through the ceiling
DO you remember that game at the old
grounds said one very loudly, SO that
Beaton could hear. Lille was playing right
field-you remember him. He was chasing
after a high fly when the fellows IN the
stand started shooting at it. They were a
bunch of cowboys just in from the ranch.
They must have hit it a dozen times. The
ball flew to pieces. and Lille managed to
catch part of the cover. He claimed the
batter was out. we claimed he was not. and
the game broke up into fight AT the
umpire's inquest
"Beaton hurried away for drink of ice
water, before the player could finish.
.'They kept at him with such stories.
When the game started the poor fellow was
white with fear and trembling so he could
hardly give his decisions. Kansas CITY
got the favor of every decision during that
game, and when it was over he sprinted
from the field

Will Ship Horse Abroad.

NEW YORK, December 15-Van Wick
voart Cronmeiin, who is known as the
Father of Trotting in Holland" has bought
Fleetwood s., an eleven year-old stallion
He paid 81, $50 for the horse, which has a
record Of 2.131A and will ship it abroad.

The conversation ran into other channels
for a while, varying without reason, as Is
the way with conversations. Then it drift
ed around to base ball again. around to the
old days in Detroit and the changes in the
game since then.
"A great many of you younger fellows
think the game has advanced over the old
days. l don't know of a play they pull off
now that was not known then, with the eX-
ception of the bunt.
And bunting has destroyed base running
There Is no necessity for a runner to take
chance like they did before the bunt came
into general use. AS a result, one OF the
finest points of the great game has become
almost lost art"

A movement is on foot to organize rowing
clubs among the several high schools of the
city, Mr.. Clarence A HecoX of Mckinley
being the moving spirit of the enterprise.
1t might be well to recall the fact that
in New York. Philadelphia, Worcester and
other northern cities the high schools have
crews, and the recruits from Craftsmanship
have always been most creditable. At the
American Henley, held every spring at
Philadelphia, the stewards of the associa-
ton have added race for high schools
and this event is always attended by sew
eral good crews.

II see that Tim Hurst Is still In the
game" he observed with a quiet smile
when the umpire's name was mentioned
Tim always was a great fellow for get
ting in and out of trouble.
And he certainly had enough. So did
any other umpire when he ran up against
men like Tebeau, Burkett and Mexican. ]

JENNINGS NOW
PLANNING TEAM

The one spot that Manager Hugh Jen-
nings wishes to strengthen at Detroit Is
the first cushion. Chris Lindsay has not
demonstrated that he is n first class man
and Jennings has seen enough OF BUS
ter" Brown. the recruit from Newark. 10
refrain from enthuslng when the big Eas-
tern Lacquer is mentioned.
Brown did not set the world on fire with
his batting I'm the minors and Jennings
does not expect him 10 break up many
games in fast company. AS n result of
this situation Jennings has been looking
over the field in view TO securing the
proper man. and few days ago stated
that he was after a big league first sacker
whom he thought would hll the bill.
Just whom Il can be ia n puzzle. II
might be Bransfeld. OF the Phillies.
or one OF the Cleveland first basemen.
Manager Lajoie has three men capable
OF covering the initial sack-Stovall,
Rcssman and Hinchman. Inasmuch as
The Columbus man is reputed 10 be
able 10 play first, second, third or the
outfeld. II may he that Cleveland has
a deal on whereby Rossman Is TO go TO
Detroit in trade for some one OF the Tiger
twirlers. However. the Cleveland officials
are about as talkative as an oyster when
trades or deals are discussed.

LETTERS VERY FAMOUS
FOR THEIR BREVIIY

Almost telegraphic brevity distinguishes
some OF the most famous letters that have
ever been written. A writer in Notes and
queries gives a sheaf OF these laconlc
messages. with such editorial ilnmina-
tion as is necessary TO make their mean
ing clear.
According to Campbells Lives OF the
Admirals," Sir George Walton was sent
in pursuit OF a Spanish squadron. and re-
ported what took place i'm the following
dispatch TO the admiral In command
Sir-l have taken or destroyed all the
Spanish ships as per margin.-Yours, &c,
20. Walton"
Horace Walpole, In one OF his papers In
The World. praises the following letter,
written by Lady Pembroke in the reign
OF Charles H. I quote from memory, but
think that Lady Pembroke wrote to Lord
Arlington. who had insisted on her allow
ing Sir Joseph Williamson to be returned
member for her borough OF Applcby:
Sir have been bullied by a usurper,
| have been neglected by a court. hut |
will not be dictated TO by n subject. Your
man sha'n't stand. Annie Pembroke"
j have some memory Of a story that
some person wrote 10 the first Duke of
Wellington. threatening TO publish Ger
tain letters OF his and that he replied .
Dear Julia-Publish' and be damned.-
Yours. Wellington. !"
When Lord John Russell announced the
breaking up OF Earl Greys cabinet on
May q. 1884, Mr.. Stanley. Colonial secre-
wiUflksac g309s, ,arpfonOentesofdaE s
tary, wrote the following 20 Sir James
Graham, First Lord OF the Admiralty:
MY dear G.--Johnny has upset the
coach.-Yours, &C"
Sir Walter Scott said that the most
pointed letter he knew was the answer
OF Lord Macdonald 10 the head of the
Glengarry family:
MY Dear Glengarry-As soon as YOU
can prove yourself TO be my chief ] shall
be ready to acknowledge you; in the
meantime. ] am yours. Macdonald"
The following is quoted as Francis JEFF
frey's wicked reply 10 a begging letter:
"Sir-l have received your letter az the
6th inst, soliciting a contribution I'm be-
half OF the funds OF ---. I have very
great pleasure in subscribing with this
word the writer contrived to end the first
page. and then continued overleaO my
self Yours faithfully. Francis jeffrey"
certain lady having written TO Talley-
rand informing him OF the death Of her
husband. he replied:
Dear Marquise-Alas! Your devoted
''Talleyrand."
At later date the same lady wrote
telling him OF her approaching marriage.
To this he replied

ARMOR PLATE VERY
COSTLY TO BRITISH.

Englishmen are complaining because
they have to pay more for armor
plate than we do. According to the
London Times, the cost Of armor plating
on a modern battleship approaches
one-third OF the total cost Of the ves-
sci.
Sir William White stated in his lee
lures on Modern warships" that the
armor cost about $4,000 900 for a bat
tieship. According to the best I'm
formation available the average cost
or that armor must have been aho,,t
Sooo per ton, while the thickness OF
the plates varied from twelve inches
10 three or four inches.
1t is interesting TO comnare tbasa
approximate costs with those for the
arHor recently contracted for by the
Cnlted states navy department. to be
USED In the battleships Michigan and
North carolina. The Midvale com
pany offered to supply this armor at
1880 per ton (average). the Carnegie
company at 1870, and the Bethlehem
company at $3.50.
From the British point of view IN.
important fact is that IL the preced
ing hgures are correct they are nav
ing for armor about $3.50 per tom
roughly 40 per cent--more than IL
being paid in the United States for
armor Of equal quality. on a King
Edward type OF vessel this involves an
increased expenditure OF from $500 ooo
to 100000.

Every racegoer who knows Big Tim
Sullivan and Christy Sullivan went away
from the Jamaica track loaded down with
money won from the bookmakers The
latter's good gelding Rye was the medium
by which they increased their financial
rating, for he added 81 to every $40 invest
ed on him I'm the Sayville Stakes. He
won that event in commanding style from
his old opponent, Yves.
IL was the third successive stake OF the
meeting for Rye. and to say that the clan
Sullivan were overjoyed at the result is 10
give their enthusiasm a mild term They
were fairly delirious with delight. All OF
the Boweryites and Tammanyites present
had bet every dollar they could scrape
together on the little son OF Greenan, and
when he again. for the third time. took
the measure OF Yves. the Tammany In
dians emitted yells that would have put
their untamed namesakes to shame
Rye's victory over Yves yesterday was
even more pronounced than his previous
ones. He had scared away all opposition
save Yves and Bivouac, in spite OF the
fact that he was asked TO carry 1lS pounds
tho greatest weight he has handled this
year Because he met Wes on terms

SYRACUSE FOR
EASTERN LEAGUE

According to a rumor which appears 10
have originated In Syracuse, y. Y. that
city is TO be represented next year In the
Eastern league. the franchise OF the
Montreal club being transferred TO the
New York state municipality. 1t Is said
that A. c. Buckenberger. manager OF
the Rochester Baseball club. Is engineer
ing the deal. and that there is good
prospect OF its being carried through
successfully. If the Montreal franchise
should be transferred 70 Syracuse, II
league franchise. held by Kuntsch and
Griffin I'm Syracuse. would be transferred
20 some other town. Under the national
agreement, club In a Glass A league Is
permitted to invade he territory occu-
pied by team IN a league OF n lower
class, but the invaders must pay the
price for the franchise as fixed by the
national agreement.
Malachi Kittridge, II Is said, would
manage the team in Syracuse should the
Eastern league enter that city. Al Buck
enberger. IL is said. is engineering the
scheme solely in the interests OF the
with Syracuse I'm the league In place OF
Montreal. there would be n saving In
travelling expenses OF at least $500 a sea
son TO each club In the league Eastern
league magnates generally would prob
ably regard Syracuse good baseball
town and would welcome the change.
IL Is said that negotiations are about
20 be opened with Frank Farrell, OF the
New York Americans. who also controls
the Montreal franchise IL would seem
10 be likely that he would be interested
in the plan 10 place team IN Syracuse.
as IL would mean 10 him much In the
way OF saving railroad fares. According
10 the story in Syracuse, two parks have
already been offered in that city for the
use OF the Eastern league team which Il
l. proposed 70 locate there.
