Joe kellv's Suggestion.

Over at the Pimlico race track last week
/ there was quite a galaxy Of professional
base ball players, among the number be-
ing Jack Dunn. Walter Brodie, McGraw
Robinson, Hugh Jennings, Joe Kelly and
dumping Mahon.
One day this bunch was foregathering In
the clubhouse, discussing the needs of the
inner man. when who should come in but
a Baltimore sport who is noted for his
windy ways and the unreliable brand of
dope" he ladies out
This chap, according to his tale. has all
the bookmakers up a tree. owing to the
heartess manner in which he trims their
rolls. He simply has these rather astute
gentlemen beaten badly at their game
and his winnings are not small ones,
either. Oh, dear no. This young Wisen-
heimer takes the pencil scratchers' kale
in hefty bunChes-that is, II you listen to
AleXander-ard he wouldn't lie-at least,
he declares he wouldn't for anything in
the world
AS he was acquainted with several
members Of the ball players party. he
ambled over and wanted to buy, but the
fellows didn't happen to care for any
thing. so Mr.. Sport sp.awled out on
chair
This racing isn't in it with the kind o.
stuff We had at the Latonia track last
June" he declared "Why. I was twenty
thousand to the good in five days up
there. And then 1 put two 5000 bets
down on Darling Dan in the first race to
show, and another five on Megs Hill to
win in the third
What the outcome Of these bets was

for Just at that moment Joe Kelly gave

Boys. put that piker out of here.

Joe Stanley's Experience.

When Joe Stanley, the local boy, was
first signed by the Washington club and
was one of the players to take the western
trip he was slated to bunk with Huets-
man. for ball players are always paired
when travelling. as this saves expense.
Everything went all right until the
Washington team took the boat at tIeVe-
land, on its way to Detroit. Then the
trouble began. for the majority of the
boys got sick that night, as 1t was ter
riby rough time on the lake. and when 1t
gets rough on Lake Erie it has old ocean
beat a dozen ways to the jack.
Joe Stanley, like the rest, was sick, and
Joe, also like the rest. wanted to know
how soon it would be before land was
reached.
He acquainted big Huelsman with his
burning desire, and the husky Swede told
Joe 20 ask the captain.
Joe set out to find the captain. but he
ran across the mate, and of this worthy
he inquired:
How far. brother, is 1t to ,Ae nearest
land?"
BY this time the boat was about in the
middle Of the lake and the mate, looking
at the ball player, replied:
About three miles"
And which way" cried Joe. as he be-
gan to perk up bit at the fntenlgence.
why, straight down. laconically re-
piled the mate.

Pitcher Hardy's Version.

When the cherubic Mr.. Hardy was play
ing with the Washington club, and Jack
Burke, one of Kid Sullivan's trainers. was
doing a rubbing stunt for some Of the
members Of the team, Burke pressed into
service "Froggie." one Of the KIDS train
ing partners, to nelp him In his work.
"Froggie" who has been about the park
for the past fifteen years, is emp Dyed In
his spare time in a nearby lunchroom, and
one morning, having had the honor of rub
bling Hardy down the day previous. he
met the chubby twirler in the lunchroom.
He noticed that the player had one of
those knit jackets which he was willing
to sell for a small sum.
"Froggie." being about the same build
as Hardy, bought the garment but IN
fastening 1t up he was surprised 10 find
that all the buttons dropped off.
The next morning when he reported at
the park he said to Hardy:
See here. Hardy. that jacket I bought
from you yesterday has shed all of its
buttons; how do you account for that
why, that's easy" replied Hardy. as
he winked at Jake StahI. You see,
Froggie' SO many people admired you
with that coat on that you swelled with
pride and burst the buttons off"

What Ed Walsh Would Do.

1t is the custom for visiting base ball
clubs. when they come to Washington
early in the season, to take a trip around
automobiles. that seat about fifty persons
These vehicles. with a guide to handle
the megaphone. carry their passengers all
over the city, and make a special point Of
showing the homes of the immensely
wealthy.
One of the most expensive private dwell
ings in Washington is that owned by the
Colorado millionaire Thomas F. Walsh
His palatial mansion, on Massachusetts
avenue. is said to have cost round sum
Of three millions
When the Chicago team first came to
Washington last spring It had a lot of
new players with it who had never
been in the Capital city before. SO it was
suggested that the whole party take
ride about the city on one of the sight
seeing automobiles.
The suggestion was acted upon, and
soon ali the Chicago boys were seated in
one of the cars listening to the mega
phone spieler romancing.
After passing the Letter mansion. and
some more dwellings constructed on a
similar style. the automobile glidad
smoothly along until it came opposite the
nifty marble pile known as the Walsh
palace. and it was here that the gent with
the megaphone got off a neat little speech
about the mansion and its cost.
When he had finished Nick Altrock, the
pitcher. shouted across the seat to big
Ed Walsh, the spit-ball artist:
Il say. Ed. if | had 40 cents more I'd
buy that Walsh bungalow"
you are shot back Ed, I'd sell it to

Ty Cobb's Explanation.

The season before last when the ire
pressible Tyrus Cobb was a new member
of the Detrots and when he was lin
bad" with the rest of the players he was
a moody individual. and a he world walk
about by himself he could not fail to hear
some Of the remarks that were made
about him by certain of the other players.
Ty was barely twenty years old. and
had all the willfulness Of a lad Of that
age, and this probably caused the fric-
ton. But Armour stood by Ty, and It
was through his standing by the young
southerner, so the story goes, that Bill
lost his own job. But be this as it may.
Cobb is rafting good fellow, but it took
the Detroit bunch a couple Of years to
discover this fact.
At the time when Tyrus was doing a
solitude stunt Bill Armour, meeting him
out at the grounds one day, took particu-
lar notice of the fact that Cobb's shoes
were somewhat turned up at the toes,
which gave them a peculiar appearance
and caused one to think that perhaps the
fleet outfelder might be some human
tees shy. So calling Ty over to him Ar
muur asked:
What in the name Of all creation is
the matter with the toes of your shoes.
Ty? They appear to be turned backward"
Il guess" replied Cobb, as he looked

cuse University may adopt lacrosse as an

enthusiasm expressed by the Undergrad
uate body in the project. Heretofore it
has been thought that the five major
sports engaged in by the athletes were
enough. but the rapid growth Of the col
lree seemed to warrant the taking Of
cross country work and the entering o 4

time This leads to the bell + that the
authorities Will consent In the college

What Saved Jack Crooks.

Jack appeared to be enthusiastic. and
from the way he talked any one could see
that he was more than ordinarily interest

AS Tim had been experimenting with so
many loudly touted young wrlers, ana
had been stung to the limit also. he didn

REVISION OF GOLF RULES
DISTINCTION BETWEEN MEDAL
AND MATCH PLAY.

In the review Of the rules of golf. which
is now going on in the committee of tie
executive committee of the United States
/ Golf Association prior to sending the re-
constructed code ernbodyinS American
suggestions for changes to tile s.. An
dreWs Club, there is a very pronounced
feeling that there should be a distinct
recognition of the fact that there are two
separate games of golf for which pro-
vision should be made. Medal play and
match play are widely different. Match
play embodies the essence Of golf. the
contest of individual against individual.
For it there is necessity for comparat .vely
few rules. 1t is customary in the con-
test between individuals for continual
waving of the strict letter Of the rules
in immateriaI matters. and IN the social
game. which is the great solid game Of
golf in the final analysis, since It is the
/ business of men who play for pleasure
and never think of competing in tourna-
ments, who provide the real support of
the game in this country, there is no need
for manifold and involved rulings.
In medal play an entirely different con-
ditlon exists. There one is playing against
a standard rather than against an OPP
ponent, where the standard must be rigid
ly upheld. where any laXity vitiates the
value of the record which is made, an
wher" no one wants any concession Of
any Kind whatever For the medal game
there should be the StricteSt provisions
possible and no possible compromise with
the letter of the law. If these two es-
sential features of the game so diametri-
Cally opposite, are borne in mind, there
seems to be no reason why the difficulties
which are presented in the present code,
aside from its involved and obscure word
ing. should not be readily resolved.
