WADDELL CAN'T
FLY HIS KITES
MANAGER MACK OF ATHLETICS
PLACES BAN
"Rube's" Bean Shooter Taken Away
and He Is Not Allowed to Play
Marbles in the Gutter With
Newsboys

Manager Connie Mack of the Phil
adelphia Athletics possesses one of the
greatest pitchers the sport ever knew
i'm the person of one "Rube" Waddell
whose name ilumines the Quaker city
club pay roll. At the same time Mr..
Mack owns a youngster who must
needs be Modified with amusements
not i'm keeping with his position as a
major league ball player. To avoid all
chance of mishap to the precious twirl
er Mack is placing a curb on the ju-
venile life.
One of the first things Mr. Mack did
following the thumb accident was to
take Rube's bean shooter away from
him. 1t seemed like a harsh and cruel
thing to do, but at the same time Con-
ME cannot be too careful.
Suppose that Rube, i'm a spirited bean
battle, should blind a little playmate
or get a lima bean lodged I'm his own
eve. His batting would be ruined, and
the team might lose the best pitcher
i'm the business. Waddell kicked. lit
tie when the bean shooter was taken
from him, but he soon forgot all about
IL. Thus encouraged, Connie laid down
another rule.
Hereafter Rube must not fly his kite
from the housetops. The roofs are too
dangerous. An open scuttle or un-
guarded light shaft might precipitate
Mr.. Waddell to the bottom and break
something, to say nothing of the loss
of the kite. He left all his kites at
home. with the understanding that
when the trip ends he may fly one in
the ball yard every morning
still another edict stung Rube in q
tender spot. He must cut out playing
marbles in the gutter. The sport Is
undignified and very trying on clothes,
But that isn't the real reason. A
waffle wagon might come along at any
moment and run over Rube's heel.
While not as valuable as his thumb,
the heel is an important adjunct to
any pitcher while hurting the elusive
sphere.
Hanging to the rear of steps of ice
wagons is another exhilarating but
dangerous form of sport on which Con-
ME put the ban. Nothing in that line
for Rube this summer, no matter how
hot the weather. The slippery chunks
of ice sometimes slide out while iolting
over crossings. and 1t would be Mr..
Waddell's luck to get his block knocked
off. That would give his enemies a
chance to say that he was a victim of
hard luck.
In fact there seems nothing left for
poor Rube but TO play bali this sum-
mer and run the plain ordinary risks
of the ball yard. Thus far there have
been no restrictions placed on peanuts.

ST. LOUIS, June S.-A special to the

says:
The chief of police of Bonneville

bureau, New York:

Agent Waits repeated the message to
Superintendent N. j. Phinney in Sc

is, and Mr.. Finney wired back:
Will Keep Boy Himself
"The boy will remain with me, until
his people or parents come after him
and prove he is their boy"
Another message from Richard D.
Baker of Seattle was received here, adj
dressed to newspaper, and reads as
follows:
my boy was kidnapped two years ago.

the boy left in your town. Answer"
Agent Waits says the boy answers the
description. Mr.. Baker has been wired

After a voyage fraught with harrow
ing experiences as she battled with the
waters about Cape Horn in an effort to
reach the western coast for the great
Honolulu yacht race, the Anemone ar
rived yesterday at San Pedro. The
craft has been lying in San Diego har-
Dor undergoing repairs and started
north Wednesday
The Anemone experienced cOnsidera- =
Bile difficulty in reaching the coast. as
she was out 144 days from New York
and travelled a distance of $4,000 miles,
or two-thirds the entire distance
around the world The trim craft
sighted land but once on her long
cruise and that when entering the
straits Of Magellan.
After having been out but four days
the Anemone encountered severe
storms which robbed her of her top
mast and when three weeks out she
lost her main mast. 1t was fished from
the water, and after being spliced to-
gether, was reset and found to be thir-
teen feet short. The bulwarks We're
damaged to a great extent when the
main mast fell, but were satisfactorily
repaired.
Near Being Withdrawn
Upon reaching San Diego several
weeks ago it was first thought that the
Anemone would be withdrawn, but this
intention on the part of her owner was
reconsidered and she was Immediately
put on the ways to be repaired. Since
that time and up to several days ago
discouraging reports were numerous
from San Diego in regard to the pro-
gress being made, and there appeared
several statements to the effect that
she would not be able to leave the
ways in time to enter the race. 1t was
not until Wednesday afternoon that
she left San Diego for the starting
point of the contest.
The Anemone is beautiful little
vessel and the largest of the fleet to
enter the race. She is Setch rugged
and has a length of 91 feet at water
line and 112 feet over all, with a 30
foot beam. She was built at Gosport
England, several years ago and is
owned by Charles L. Tut of Colorado
Springs.
She carries a crew of eleven men all
told and will have on board one or two
passengers, friends OF the owner. one
of whom is Prof. l.. A. Il. Ahlers of the
Colorado college at Colorado Springs.
The Anemone is under the immediate
command of Capt. Lindeberg and Mate
Nelson, who took charge of her at San
Diego.
When the Anemone goes over the
line Monday morning, off the break
water at San Pedro, she will have to
contend with one of the fastest and
neatest designed crafts on the coast,
the Lurline. which is the flag boat of
the South Coast Yacht club, the pride
of the coast and champion in her
class
Lurline Formidable
The Lurline IS owned by Commodore
Sinclair, who is q prominent member
VI ,I,,l@
Sinclair considers her chances of the
best and sees no reason why his craft
should not come in a day ahead of
her nearest competitor. Considerable
money has been PLAYED on the Lurline
and she will be an easy favorite before
the contest. The wise ones state that
the Anemone should come in a good
second, but her owner still holds that
she will be first at the finish.
She will have a crew of eight, and
probably three passengers. She is
schooner rugged. but carries about the

THE HORNBIll.
A Bird That Imprisons His Mate Dur
Ing the BrOoding season.

A remarkable mode OF incarceration
Is practiced by the hornbills, birds
with immense bills and horny crests,
layan islands and central and southern
Africa. In most II not all species tho
brooding female Is walled up In a hol-
low tree md fed by her mate.
She remains confined in her prison
until the eggs are hatched, and In some
species until the young birds are able to
fly. Meanwhile the mother has become
temporarily incapable of flight. rs she
has molted. or at least shed all her wing
feathers, during her captivity. But the
male Is indefatigable In providing for
his family and Is said to work so hard
that he is reduced almost to a skeleton
at the end of the brooding season.
According to the theory Of many ma.
tives, the female is imprisoned to pre-.
vent her neglecting her duty Of brood
ing, and II she has been unfaithful OF
negligent her mate closes the little
window Of her cell and abandons her
to a painful death by s~ufYocation. The
true story, perhaps, Is this: The female
walls herself I'm so hat she cannot fall
from the nest after losing her feathers
and also TO protect herself from enc
mics. The building material is her own
eIcrement. This version In less poet.
ical than the other, but It Is probably
nearer the truth. II IL supported by
the statement that the female liberates
herself az 0 o as the young birds are
well grown, SO that her prison Is less
formidable than It appears.-Scientifc
