OLD, OLD PROBLEM
VEXING NAGNATES
Who Gets Credit for Game
in Which Several Pitch
erS Figure?

a matter which VIII claim the atten-
tion Of the Eastern League baseball
moguls when they convene IN New York
on February Z5 will be 10 consider the
advisabiity Of adopting some rule for
properly crediting the winning and los
ing Of games I'm which more than one
pitcher takes part.
This knotty question has caused no
end of contention among the pitchers in
the Eastern League, as well as those Of
the two major organizations. Every
year. following the publication Of the
official averages, kicks from pitchers al
ways crop up, generally resulting In
tiresOm" controversies, which under
present conditions are impossible 70 un-
tangle.
How Differences Arise.
Pitchers. as a rule. are Usually very
punctual in keeping their individual
records Of games won and lost In
games ii is frequently necessary to re-
tire pitcher for some reason or other
Some are removed from the game when
The score stands in favor Of their team:
sometimes the other fellow goes In the
box and the opposing team wins out.
In other instances one pitcher will re-
place another when the score is against
him, and his team will pull out a win
ner; then another pitcher Will probably
be put in q game under the same dis
cOUraging conditions, and his team will
lose. Then the question pops up, Which
pitcher gets the credit for winning or
losing the game2' The pitchers always
have their own opinion; so DO the scor-
yrs, managers and spectators. and in a
majority OF cases there is seldom found
a unanimous COncensus.
In this connection II may be conser-
vauvely estimated that fully % per. cent
or the people who attend ball games
look upon the slab artist as the main
stay Of his team, and wholly responsible
for winning or losing a game. without
considering Tor a moment the assistance
rendered by the other eight players on
the team.

MYSTERY OF BOYS POCKET.



Anyone of curious turn of mind
who will take the trouble to get at the
statistics will find that figures don't
lie with regard to the number of things
a small boy can get into his pockets
They simply give out
In one of the public schools the teach
er recently turned her sternest gaze
toward lively 12-year-old who had
dropped heavy marble on the fool
with thud that stopped the recitation
Atthe moment of her intensest scrutiny,
when the urchin was doing his Level
best to feign innocence, diabolical
smaller marble dropped from his pock
ct and rolled across the floor after Its
mate.
That settled It. Abashed and shrink
Ing, the culprit came forward. At the
command to remove every article In his
pockets he hesitated. He held out
against this unexpected outrage upon
q sacred institution as long as he dared
but before the birch rod began its fell
work the urchln submitted.
His first handful contained three
pieces Of copper wire (insulated), one
piece (not insulated), two old purses,
suspender fastening, eleven street car
transfers and a tin whistle. AS he
reached again a look Of tiendish Joy
came over his freckled face. One arti-
Gle came out. 1t was a live mouse. The
teacher clutched her skirts nervously
while 1t was being removed,
Then the investigation proceeded.
When 1t was over lie articles had come
from the boys pockets, They are cat
alogued as follows, besides those men,

Two picture cards. one shoelace, one

pin, two screws, one rubber washer, one

Rare skeleton Is Found.

There arrived in this city last week
for the Museum of Natural History the
skeleton Of loxolophodon. 1t was
unearthed In southern Wyoming, where
the great beast roamed In large mum.
bers many centuries ago, by an ex.
pedition sent out from the museum by
Professor Walter Granger. Speaking
Of the success attending the search,
Professor Granger said:
''We found the skeleton of the lar
gest mammal living at the time and
for which we made careful search. This
huge mammal was known as the loxo-
lophodon, mixture Of elephant and
rhlnoceros. 1t had six horns-two en-
orcnous ones In the back of the skull,
two smaller ones over the eyes and
two rudimentary horns on the tip of
the nose.
1--WE obtained an interesting lot of
the skeletons of the titanotheres, a
smaller animal than the last; numer-
GUS specimens of the carvora, includ-
Ing the largest of the time, the meso-
nyx; many rodents, or squirrel-like
mammals; some Of the earlier camel
like, even toed, hoofed mammals; an
achenedon, one Of the very large, even
toed animals, with piglike teeth and
feet and an early primate like the le-
murs, notharctus In all we obtained

Irish Emigration to This Country
Has Been Enormous.


Irish Emigration to This Country
Has Been Enormous.
No page In history reveals such a
migration as that of the Irish to
America. The figures are astonishing.
From 1910 to 1860 not fewer than q
100000 crossed the ocean to settle In
the United States; from 1860 to 1880
an additional 100000 made a fresh
start In life In the great republic over
the seas, and from 1880 to the present
time another 100000 was added to
our population. Since 1860 the average
has been 100000 decade.
The twelve agricultural States, rep
resented by Ohio, Indiana, Michigan,
Illinois. Wisconsin. Missouri, Iowa,
Minnesota, Kansas, Nebraska, North
and South Dakota, contain one-fourth
Of the 100000. OF the portion settled
in the North Atlantic States but one
fifth are on farms; but this tendency
to crowd into the towns disappears
when the surroundings are agricutur-
al, as is shown by the large percentage
more than 50-of those who have
taken to farming in the twelve agricul-
tural States above mentioned.
1t is only because the bulk of the
Irish in America are not In the midst
OF farming districts that they are less
an agricultural people than the other
immigrant elements added to the popu-
lation. They have found an outlet for
their energies in the congested districts
and their wonderfully adaptive natures
have allowed them easily to enter upon
the industries of the people among
whom they were thrown.
1t is In the Eastern States that the
Irish promise to ultimately constitute
majority of the population. This Is
already the case In three New England
States and In many New England
cities In New York City they are
barely behind the Germans and slight.

'stars on the nag are copied from the
Washington coat of arms.

An editorial article in a religious
monthly calls renewed attention to the
shortage bf Protestant preachers of
ability. 1T Is said that the ministry as
profession has lost its attractiveness
for able men, despite the rapid growth
Of the churches in membership, the
marked increase in the population Of
the country, and the constant demand
for thoroughly equipped persons to fill
places of Importance, demand unpre-
cedented in the history Of the Christian
church. The theory Is advanced that
independent and energetic students are
not attracted by the modern plan of
ministerial education which provides
free tuition, free room rent, and often
cash payments as well to such as feel
that they are called to preach. An en-
dowment of a million dollars for educa-
tion Of preachers sometimes lies prac-
tically idle for lack of students to use
the income. The same conditions are
to be found in the schools Of all Prot.
estant denominations. The future ply.
sician or lawyer is placed In sharp con-
trapositlon. He usually has much
higher fees to pay, has much smaller
funds In the way of scholarship aid to
draw up, aud knows that discourag-
Ing wait is certain after he is admitted
to practice before the first patient or
client appears. The theological student
steps at once from the commencement
platform, with his diploma certifying
to the completion Of given course OF
training, during which he has been cur
ried along financially into a waiting
pulpit. His salary and his life work
begin when his preliminary preparation
ends. And yet few able youths seek
the preachers career The editorial
writer suggests that this easy way Of
getting an education and a livelihood
does not appeal to tie active and ener-
getic and that, as a consequence, the
ministry gets only those who like the
easy life. But there are other reasons
which might be adduced for the famine
In ministers. There was a time when
the preacher was the most important
parsonage in the community. His infu-
ence was commanding. The church af-
forded the only avenue to fame for the
bright young man. The industrial work
er, the manufacturer, the merchant, tie
farmer, were not supposed to need edu-
cation. The administrator as such had
not developed. But recent years have
witnessed complete change In condi-
tions. Educated men are welcomed a1d
win success In many lines Of life, lnde-
pendence and wealth both awaiting the
industrious who may have great infu-
ence and power. No longer having a
monopoly of education and information
the minister Is compelled to compete
with great newspapers, with many mag
azlnes In reach of the masses, with a
flood Of useful and helpful books, and
with constantly improving methods of
influencing thought His hearers often
are as well educated as himself. He is
restrained by church creeds. He Is
poorly paid. If he is an orator the lee
ture platform Is open to him. There
are many reasons why the pulpit
should not be so attractive for able men
as 1t was once.
