In the Revenue Cutter Service.

The revenue cutter Apache. on her cruise
which ended with the arrival of the vessel
at Baltimore yesterday. was able to be of
assistance to the ram-schoOner Mabel and
Ruth just when the master of the vessel
wanted aid. The schooner had loaded
cargo of gravel in the st. Mary's river for
the jamestown exposition, and the captain
of the vessel wanted to get away. She was
lying in such position on a lee shore that
her sails were of no aid to her, and no tug
boats were at hand. Just as the captain
was about to give it up and let his vessel
lay until the wind shifted the Apache cana
into the river. Capt. Wild was appealed to
and he gave the aid requested, towing the
sc,Iocner out into the Potomac, where it
was plain sailing.
Lieut.. Howell, who has been transferred
to the Apache from the cutter Rush on the
Pacific, has Joined the ship at Baltimore.

SAM THOMPSON
COULD HIT SOME

Sam Thompson tells many interesting
stories of his experiences. Speaking of
pitchers, John Clarkson was the king pin
of them ALL" says Sam. Il remember my
Introduction to him. 1t was in Detroit in
1887. Two men were out and two were on
bases. He sent in couple that were called
strikes and / asked him why he did not
put them over the plate. He walked up
about half way to the plate and said he
did not see any medals on me giving me a
license to hit any of his balls, and, going
back into the box, sentsa waist-high ball
straight over the plate. 1 hit it on the
nose; it went forty feet over the fence and
as / turned third base trot&ing in home /
told him that was where l got one medal
anyhow. When / was feeling right could
always hit John, but many is the time he
made me bite the dust. Rusie was always
easy for me. The first ball he ever pitched
me was at Indianapolis, and l don't think
ever hit a ball further. 1t looked like
IL went mile high. Frank Foreman was
the hardest man for me ever saw. One

lass, has played on the navy team for three
seasons, and also played on the University
OF Tennessee's for several seasons before
coming to Annapolis. However, that insti-
tuition Is not in the list OF forty the playing
upon which counts, so that Douglass would
have another year to play even II the
eligibility rules were renewed. The navy
would, however, lose Piersol. the stalwart
tackle, should the agreement be renewed
upon the old terms. He made the team the
first year he entered the academy and has
played four seasons, as he spent two years
in the lowest class.
The theory of the agreement was that the
army boys were more mature, and that
therefore the contest was not on O. fair
basis. The age for entrance at West Point
Is from seventeen to twenty-five years. and
at Annapolis from sixteen to nineteen years.
1t Is therefore clear that the army had much
the advantage in getting seasoned men and
stood far greater chance of getting men
who had already acquired skill in foot ball
or other sport at some other institution.
At the time the number of students in the
academies was about the same but now, as
Annapolis has just about twice as many,
the greater age and experience of the ca
diets is about evened, 1t is thought, by the
larger choice possible at Annapolis. At any
rate, Annapolis does not ask for any more
eligibility rules, and thew never were popu-
lar at West Point.
