ROOSEVELT GETS
A BASEBALL PASS
Not a Fam" But Will Take
in a Few of the League
Games.

President Roosevelt today promised
President Bancroft Johnson. of the
American League. that he would be
very glad TO attend a few Of the league
! games this season. when he could afford
the time.
This promise was made during a visit
of the American League president at the
White House today, for the purpose OK
presenting the President a compli-
mentary pass for the season OF 1906 TO
all games played in the league circuit
Mr., Johnson was introduced 10 the
President by Commissioner West. The
passbook is neatly bound in a sealskin
case, with the gold monogram IT r"
The printing is all in gold. The pass
book is for the President and party"
thus enabling him to take in with him
as many friends as he may desire
Among the Presidents close personal
friends there are several men who play
ed college baseball, and no doubt the
President will get them TO accompany
him 20 the American League Park on
more than one occasion before the sea
son Is over
1t is understood that the President is
not an expert baseball student. He ur-
derstands football thoroughly and play
ed the game some while at Harvard.
but on account of his eyesight he could
not make much headway at baseball
However, he has a numOer OF friends
who can explain TO him any of the
points which he does not comprehend.

PITTSBURG. April 13.-Prof. John A.
Brashear, the noted astronomer of this

theory Of the eruption OF Mt Vesuvius.
He says the theory attributed 10 Prof.

responsible, is ridiculous.
IF this were true" ne saws. why
was Nesuvius quiescent last October,
