Speed of an Engine Pitted Against
That of RattIesnake Venom.

Bromley, Cal.-A race for life from
Imperial Junction to Brawley, with
the speed of switch engine pitted
against that of a rattlesnake's deadly
poison as it circulated through the
blood Of NJ. N. McCloud, was an excft-
ing feature here the other night.
To-day McCloud lies in the treat
ment rooms Of DR.. ]. Lebert Cooke,
with good prospects for recovery.
McCloud has been an employe at the
Imperial Junction hotel for several
months. having come from Los Ange-
les to the desert. The other afternoon
about five o'clock he was sorting out
brick for the base Of a kitchen range
when he heard the familiar whirr of
a rattlesnake, and the fangs of the rep
tile sank into McCloud's third finger
Of the right hand.
The snake was 2h feet long and
was half raised in the air before 1t
fell from the mans hand. McCloud

MAJOR LEAGUE NOTES

"Bugs" Raymond is pitching great
ball for the st. Louis Nationals.
Cantillon has paired Jack Warner
off with the young pitchers. while
Street will work behind the bat when
the veterans are on the mound. In
the meantime Mique Kahoe will warm
up the pitchers.
Elmer Flick. the great outfielder
and hitter. is weak and way under
weight as the result of his stomach
trouble. He has responded to treat
ment us well as can be expected, but
it will be six weeks before he gets
back Into the game again.
Pitcher Durham. drafted last fall by
Connie Mack. has been returned to
Louis lille, while Willie Sudhon,
farmed out two years ago by Washing
ton to the Colonels. has been recalled
by Cantillon. Sudhoff pitched one
game for Louisville this spring and
showed up as good as ever.
Jim Mcclure says an offer of $500
for Cy Morgan wouldn't tempt him a
minute. "Cy is going to stay right
here where he belongs" says Jim. The
St. Paul pitcher never before displayed
the form he is showing this year and
Jim McAleer wishes he had not let

BALL PLAYERS ARE AT
THEIR BEST AT THIRTY
Generally Accepted That Men Reach
Top Speed at rs and Are
Good for Five Years.

When is player at his besty The
question has been asked time and
again and various men have answered
In various ways.
II Is generally accepted among play
ers that no man reaches top speed
until he is %, and for the next five
years. barring accidents. he is at TOT,
form.
Tyrus Cobb. the sensational Detroit
outfielder. is only 81.
According to Clarke Griffith he fs
bound to improve.
"A player never reaches his top
form until he is 20, and he improves
after that" says Grifnth "Of course
one must always bear in mind that
the player who drinks and does not
take care OF himself is an exception
This Is particularly true OF the In
heider. A man who Is good on ground
paiis, who has a good arm. and is "A
good hitter. is a good baseball player
But he lacks whole LOT OF being a

all over the country are looking for

youngster doesn't possess that.

Billy sullivan-There may have
been greater fielding shortstops than
George Davis. but there was never one
who so well understood the art OF
making base runner, who had

base is rarely, II ever, stolen when
Davis is in the game.

Mr.. Blanken probably has one of the
most complete collections of Column

thousand of them are pasted on the
three pieces of furniture. He also
has coo stamps of the Buffalo expo
sitiop issue. On the top OF the table
is circle of messenger boys cut from
special delivery stamps. All of these
were obtained from an Arch street
coffin firm. and originally were on let
ters with rush orders for collins.
From the opposite side of the room

II contains pieces OF $50 stamps.
The most valuable stamp OF the lot
is a SIS revenue stamp issued during
the civil war. 1t is one OF complete
set of revenue stamps printed during
the struggle between the states.
Mr. Blanken. who is craftsman
for the j. G. Brill Car Company, began
his decorative work when he was a
boy OF Is. eight years ago. He is very
much attached to the handiwork. To
prevent possible harm TO his treasures
he makes his bed himself every morn
ing, working with the greatest care.
Except for one favored chum. no per-
son but himself has ever slept in the
bed
While the real value of the stamps
used on the furniture was $4.375. he
says several curio dealers have valued
the set at $4,000.

MORE DIGNITY OFF FIELD
IS DEMAND OF ROSSMAN
Detroit First Baseman Believes Play
ers Should Keep Up Appear
ances In Private Life.

Claud Rossman, the big first base
man OF the Detroit Tigers. insists that
1t is the duty of major league ball
players to keep up the dignity of the
game in their every day life of the
field. Rossman and Ty Cobb have Just
engaged handsome suite of rooms
for the season in Detroit's newest and
most sumptuous hotel.
Il moved down there because be
lleved II was my duty to keep up ap-
pearances, said Rossman. Here
am playing in the greatest and wealth
lest baseball organization in the
world. earning salary for the season
OF over 500 week. Why shouldn't |
show my respect for the American
league and for the Detroit baseball
club by living as ] can AFFORD to?
1T is also my duty to dress well. 1t
would be unfair to my club and to the
league to go around looking like a
tramp.
Its a shame and a disgrace the
way some major league ball players
live and dress.
What must an outsider think OF a
player whose salary is known to be
from $1,000 to $1,000 a year who goes
around dressed In a hand-me-down
suit. who lives In a four-by-six room
and eats around at the cheap beaner-
les and sit-up-on-a-stool hashhouses;
who accepts a dollar from the club for
a gentleman's meal and then buys
sandwich and put 80 cents in his
pocket?
81 am ashamed to be seen In the
company of a lot of men In the base
ball profession. They seem to have
no appreciation OF the fact that some
thing in the way of dignified conduct
Is due the great organization with
which they are identified. II ball play
ers only realized the fact and would
act accordingly, they would wheedle
hundreds of people within the gates
by their own show of prosperity.
"A major league ball player ought
never to be seen in a saloon; ought
never to wear cheap clothes or soiled
linen; ought to spend at least $40 a
week for his living. II he is a single
man; ought never to be heard using
profane or improper language; ought.
in fact. to show his employers and the
fans that he appreciates his big salary
and appreciates the chance to appear
in the spotlight of publicity"

$11,395.70. part of the hoard left by
Jaynes at his death last December.

money.
Jaynes seldom left his home, which
for years was isolated. but has since
become very valuable, and is now near
the exclusive Garden City colony and
the golf links. He raised garden
truck and sent 1t to Hampstead, Gar
den City and Meadow Brook. He con-
verted his earnings into gold and
greenbacks and hid these away. He
had an aversion to banks and always
pleaded extreme poverty to his few
relatives, who occasionally visited
him
After his death relatives ransacked
the house and more than 1000 was
found secreted in various places.
Holes were dug in various parts OF the
ten-acre farm and the barn was
searched, without result.
Mr.. Demott. one of the administra-
tors, decided to tear down the old
house and soon came upon several
bags hanging inside the rafters. The
plaster had been removed to hide the
money and again replaced.
In three of the bags, made of bed
ticking, was over $1,000. in five, ten
and twenty-dollar gold pieces, and s4.-
395.70 was found in bills and small
change In other bags. All were COW

undisturbed.
Search of the old place is continu-
ing, with fortune hunters digging
everywhere about the place. Mr.. De-
mott believes the estate will total
$4,000. There are five known heirs.

Senate has at this session placed its
approval of thirty-seven treaties

The territory available as asylum

The gain for arbitration is regarded
as a distinct victory for American dip

to the American delegates to the
Hague conference. The result so far
is the approval of general arbitration
treaties with Great Britain, Japan,
