When Dad Clark Was a Giant.

When Dad Clark was pitching for
the New York club several years back
he was one of the best advertised
players of the day. He was highly
eccentric chap. with as many foibles
as the mighty Waddell. He was said
to be the most unconsciously witty
man of his time.
He had Chuck Connors command
of the English language, and a really
remarkable collection of vituperative
explosives. which he was ready to use
on the slightest provocation
Dad was certainly no ones handsome
child, either; in fact. bitter enemies
were wont to kid Dad on the face he
wore. But he was clever pitcher
when going well, and had one of the

Smith his face wore a scowl that did

Dad had way when talking to any

What Joe Stanley Thought.

Louisville last year, and who will be
found with the same aggregation the
coming season, has a younger brother,
VINO pitches a clever article of ball for
the Montreal team Of the Eastern
League, which is managed by the for
mer local player Kittredge.
This younger Stanley, whose name is
Len, and who was last year drafted by
the foxy Clarke Griffith of the New
York club, is great foot ball advocate.
and when Georgetown University and
George Washington clashed Thanks

spectators of the game.
Len Stanley had the night before pur-
chased for himself a handsome new
derby i'll order to look his best over III
the football game, and during the eX-
cItement of that spirited contest Len
laid his hat down on the bench in order
to applaud some particular play by one
of the struggling players. His brother
Joe not seeing the hat sat down on 4,
and smashed it fiatter than any pan
cake.
When Len saw the desolation brought
about by the hefty weight of his
brother he turned to him and in a
mournful voice said:
Now. see there, Joe, what you have
DONE
WELL replied the philosophical Joe.

tion- Of the anniversary Of the departure
Of Columbus from that port is being in
vited by the Department Of Commerce
and Labor through its Commissioner Of
the Bureau OF Navigation.
The mayor Of Palos started the pro-
posal. which came to the State Depart
ment through the Spanish Minister. and
the proposition Is now being transmitted
70 all American yacht clubs by the Com
missioner Of Navigation.
The races will be from Palos, whence
Columbus set sail. to the Canaries. As tHe
distance is 700 miles. requiring several
days navigation. cash prizes of consider
able amount are required. and as this Is a
Spanish-American festivity, the Spanish
authorities invite the cooperation of all
the countries of America.
The mayor Of Palos will not accept
prizes for safe-keeping. but merely re-
quests that they be offered. for he de-
sircs the winning yachtsmen TO receive
the prizes won by them directly from the
giver and he also states at the same time
that the prizes are to bear the names Of
each Of the American republics. Of the

OLYMPIC ATHLETES ARE OUT
Dray, Whitman, and Rowe Unable
to Go to England.
Team sails saturday Minus Trio OF
Back in OId-time Form.

New York. June 22-Manager Matthew
p. Halpin, OF the American Olympic
team, stated to-day that when the steam
ship Philadelphia pulls out from her
dock on Saturday the team will be
minus three Of its first string perform
ers. They are W. r. Dray, of Yale,
the crack pole-vaulter; J, D. Whitman,
the Pennsylvania sprinter. and Rowe. OF
Michigan. the distance runner.
The absence Of Dray will hardly make
much difference. as Gilbert. the other
Yale man. is nearly as good though
the pole-vault department would have
been much more secure with Dray
along. In case OF sickness or accident
70 any one OF the other three, his pres
ence would be just the thing.
The most important thing with regard
TO Whitman is that ne was on alternate
for one OF the 200 sprints IN the 1000
relay, and would be a capital man for
the position. Good men in the distance
runs are scarce. so Rowe will be more
or less OF a loss.
All the members OF the team have
sent the measurements for suits and
caps. and every man who leaves on
Saturday will have the official brand OF
racing togs slowed away safely in HIS
kit.
Manager Halpin has been more or less
anxious over Matt McGrath. Some time
ago he injured the cartilege Of his knees
and was incapacited for awhile; but DR..
r. II. Sayre, the noted specialist on
muscles. took the big hammer-thrower
in hand and he has five times beat lSl
