FLOOD CAPTAIN
OFOUTLAW TEAM
EX.SERAPH WELL LIKED BY
ALTOONA FANS
Three Thousand Persons Attend prac-
tIce Games--Leasue Pros
poets Look Good to
Manager

ALTOONA, Pa, May 13.-The pros.
poets for a successful season Of base
ball in Altoona were never brighter
than they are at the present time.
There is a feeling that Manager Arthur
Irwin has gathered the greatest col
lection of talent that ever represented
the city, and since the opening OF the
season this feeling has been strength
ened.
An idea of the great interest that is
manifested can be had from the attend
ance at the preliminary practice games,
when more than 5000 fans saw some of
the games.
Timothy Flood. captain of last sea-
sons winning Los Angeles
club and formerly of the Brooklyn Ma
tionals is the captain of the team.
Flood possesses all the requisites for
a successful leader. He is a brilliant
infielder and quick thinker.
The lineup of the Altoona team is
as follows: Stroh and Starnagle,
catchers; Shields. Bell, Friend. Baum.
Durham, Reisling. pitchers; Houser.
first base: Flood, second base; Beecher
and Grubb, third base; Burch, short
stop; Cannon, left field; Marshall and
lott center field, and Wyatt Lee, right
field.
The outfield is composed of 300 hit
ters. and the infield will come close to
the mark, judging by last seasons
record. Irwin and Flood are developing
a system of inside play that will be a
material factor in landing Altoona a
winner at the end of the race.

A Sad Picture OF Yorkshire.

sThe Millmaster" is one of those stories
that would be twice as good if they we're half
as long. The Yorkshire dialect with which
the narrative is clumsily obstructed is
faithfully reproduced, but it Is not a pict-
uresque language, nor is it readily trans
ated save by those who nave lived among
the people who speak it. Nothing is more
dreary than the smoke blackened mill
villages of Yorkshire-rows of stone cot
tsges set close against narrow stone paved
streets, with rarely a flower TO brighten,
and with pale toothless women, puny chill
dren, and toll bowed men dragging slowly
to and from their daily tasks.
The story is like its setting, sordid and
dismal. IL represents a phase Of life which
ole Yorkshire people may remember, but
which the younger generation will follow
with little interest. THE Millmaster' is
written by G. Holmes Cantley and pub
lished by Longmans, Green and Co.

An Unpleasant western story.

Vulgar in theme and crude in treatment,
Rich Mems Children" presents a billboard
picture of California life among the bonanza
kings and their descendants. Attention is
focused upon a designing typewriter who
has entrapped the son OF a wealthy widow.
Mrs. Cornelius Ryan. Mrs. Ryan washed
clothes for a living in earlier days, but she
had high ambition for her son and refused
to acknowledge the wife who had been his
mistress before the wedding. The mother
and the Bonanza King Bill Cannon, who
has a maria geable daughter, attempt TO
buy of the wife and arrange for a divorce
which shall enable the Rich Mems Children
to unite the fortunes Of the two houses.
The plot ia carried out and a great deal OF
gold wasted, for the typewriter had a pre-
vious matrimonial engagement which she
had temporarily overlooked. The rightful
husband appears at the proper time and
the curtain falls on a sordid and miserable
travesty of American life. Rich Mems
Children" is written by Geraldine Bonner
and published by the Bobbs-Merrill Co.

Casa Grande" is a forty horsepower
thriller" Every chapter bristles with cpl
sodes and adventures OF just the kind one
expects in limitations Of the Bret Harte
school. In treatment the tale is a reversal
Of all romantic traditions. 1t is the heroine
who rescues the hero from a grizzly by a
straight shot at the crucial moment. 1t is
the girl who carries the hero out OF danger
on her horse at the great hill fight. 1t is
the heroine who il wounded and carried
into the hero's house to be nursed by him
through a long and dangerous illness.
The hero is a Southerner of birth and
breeding who is trying to make good his
title 10 an unconfirmed Mexican grant and
dispossess the "squatters." The girls one
of the squatter folk and dresses in a pict-
uresque masculine fashion and rides and
shoots better than most men. The result
is easily surmised from the beginning, but
there il a great deal Of stress and activity
before it is finally accomplished. Casa
Grande" is written by Charles Duff Stuart
and published by Henry Holt and Co.
