THE DIAMOND
LEAGUE TO MEET
Connecticut Directors VIII Be in Session on Friday - Interesting
 Notes on the Game.

| A meeting of the Connecticut league has been called for Friday, in the Garde hotel, New Haven.
 Secretary James H. O'Rourke has been working on his plan to have the season begin later than usual and ex- tend until September 15 or 20. Consid- erable interest has been created in the movement. Some of the managers be- lieve that money could be gained by not beginning until the first or second week in May and finish at the regular time.
 Objection to shortening the season would undoubtedly come in decided ly strong way from the players. The length of service in the present con tracts is four and one-half months, and for the past few seasons the players have been determined fighters in be- half of five months contract. The fact that documents calling for five months salary have been extended by outlaw league managers has tempted more than one man. s
 In addition to deciding the length of the season and the opening dates, the directors will have other important
 
 supervisor of umpires will be taken up. Secretary O'Rourke announces that the applications for the position go we'll into the dozens and that many of them are from newspaper men. Of the men seriously considered, Ed Whitney of Meriden, who is employed on the same newspaper with Mayor Thomas l.. Reilly, the former super visor, and John E. Kennedy, last years Hartford manager, are the leaders. Mir Whitney, it is understood, has the support of H. R. Durant of Wa terbury and possibly Jim O'Rourke. The league secretary believes that the supervisor should come from some city not in the circuit and this view would not check him in support of either Whitney or Kennedy, because the lat | ter lives in Bristol. Mir Kennedy is supported by Manager O'Neil of Spring | field and the Hartford club owner, j.. II. Clarkin. When his candidacy is discussed in other cities of the circuit it is likely that he will be favored. The HolyOke management will proba- | bly, urge his selection. MT Kennedy is clean-cut man of good habits and enough knowledge of base ball to make | him competent.
 | A. E. Woodford, substitute umpire in Hartford. and J. w. Pyne, the latter secretary of the Hartford Factory league. are Hartford men who are in the hunt for the supervising position.

English Trains on Time,

The public service rendered by the
British railway lines, the convenience
to the traveller and the shipper is far
in excess of anything to be found In
this country. The British isles are ab-
surdly small when compared with our
vast aIeas, and this of course simplitieS
the operating problems. There are no
snowdrifts to delay schedules no sec
tons of crudely built track awaiting
perfection. and the locomotives are
never far from their home shops. Yet
even with allowance for these adyan-
tages both freight and passenger traffic
are habitually handled with a regular
ity and certainty that deserve the high
est degree of praise. In any large
terminal in England the number of
passenger trains that arrive either ex-
actly on time or minute or two ahead
is far greater than that of trains even
the least overdue. Five minutes Is usu-
ally a safe margin for an important
connection. At Finsbury Park, q sub
urban station just outside London,
trains pass on an average Of one every
two minutes night ana day. yet this
tremendous traffic is handled with
clocklike Professionally Morris in At

Their Excessive Grief.

Lord Brampton related that once
while he was plain John Hawkins he
defended n man for wife murder. The
prisoners two children, dressed in
black and sobbing violently, We're In
court, and their grief and the lawyers
eloquent speech combined to acquit the
defendant. That evening at dinner he
met an old inhabitant of the nelghbor-
hood who complimented him upon his
speech. However," he added, II think
that if you had seen what l did when
driving past the prisoners cottage last
week you would not have painted the
home in such glowing colors. The -little
children who sobbed SO violently in
court this morning and to whom you
made such pathetic reference were
playing OH an ash heap near their cot
tage, and they had poor cat with n
string round Its neck swinging back
ward and forward, and as they did so
they sang:
This is the way poor daddy will go.
This is the way poor daddy will gol

History of the Typewriter.

patented machine was Henry Mills.
1t was as big as IL bureau and made no
popular appeal. This WAS in England

was made in America. It's inventor
was A. II. Beach. The patent was
taken out in 1886. The Beach type
writer was not practical. The first
practical typewriter was invented by
Latham Sholes in 1867. Shoes had for
partners S w. Soule and Carlos Gid

Vulgarity is certainly commoner
among men than among women, and,
indeed, when woman is vulgar she
is apt to display the quality in high
perfection. The reason why it is rare
among women is that the emotional
nature Is stronger among women than
among men, and thus where men are
ambitious, fond of displaying power,
anxious to carry out designs, DESTROYS
of recognition, women are sympathetic,
tender, affectionate, subtle; they value
relations with others more than per-
formances, they encourage and console,
because they are interested In the per-
son who desires sympathy more than
In the aims which he nourshes. II

ehatty and yivaeious, and in five min
utes' talk she made them realize that
size knew twice as much about an auto
as they did One thing the boys for
got until afterward. They gave their
names to her, but she did not reeipro-
cate. 1t was decided that the dam
aged machine must be drawn TO the
side of the road and sent for later on,
while the auto was to convey the girl
to her home, u distance of fourteen or
fifteen miles. Why she had gone out
of her way she didn't explain, and the
boys didn't ask.
"As | am used to autos / shall ask
the privilege of acting as chauffeur"
announced the young lady as she was
ready to get in.
This seemed like q reflection on the
abilities of the young men, and they
were hesitating over 1t when Miss
Blank took the matter in hand. There
was room for one of them beside her,
and both jumped for the place at once.
There was a struggle, but shame soon
came to both and they humbly climbed
Into the rear seat and glared at each
other and mentally threatened murder
at the first opportunity. They soon dis
covered that the young lady was no
vain boaster She turned the machine
about with a whiz and started Off at
minutes when young knowlton felt
compelled to lean forward and say:
This is certainly celebrating, but
do you think it altogether safer"
This isn't twenty miles an hour"
was the reply as the machine sailed
around a curve on three wheels.
Three minutes later Mr.. Weaver,
whose face was growing as white as
chalk and his teeth clicking together,
managed to make the young lady I'M
derstand that he was troubled with
palpitation Of the heart at times.
BEST remedy for it in the world"
she replied as the machine struck a
road as level and hard as a floor and
she increased the speed.
The young men instinctiyely clasped
hands and said farewell to each other.
They didn't dare reach over and twist
the wheel out of the drivers hands,
and yet they realized that calamity
must soon happen A word from her
might have prevented what followed,
but she was intent on the road ahead.
OF sudden, as they came upon long
strip of hazel bushes, both stood up and
jumped for it and landed among the
bushes with crash.
The auto did not stop. If the girl
missed them she was not concerned.
They picked themselves up after a
while and limped out to the road in
time to make inquiries of a passing
team. They walked two miles and
then hired a farmer to drive them six
driven by a girl. AT length, as they
drew near manor house embosomed
In a grove. young Weaver exclaimed:
Say, now, it's dollars to cents that
this is the house we were bound for
the Henderson place"
and if that isn't the young lady we
have been chasing may | never eat
again" replied Knowlton as he nodded
at a girl on the veranda
In front of the house was an auto
tied to the fence with rope. 1t was
their auto. Hung in a conspicuous
place was a sign reading, For Sale
Cheap" The young men did not stop
to ask any questions. II their friend
Burt was home they did not want to
see him. If his sister Annette was
home they did not want to see her. All
they wanted was to get back to New
York by the shortest route.
