HANS IS SENSITIVE.
Knocking of the Gamblers Drove
Him Out of Baseball.

Il have seen the ''phenoms" come
and go. They get a great hand, are

else, and when they come back to
Pitsburg on trips, the town goes
daffy, hands them presents and
names streets for 'em. | have borne
the heat and burden of the day. yet
the best l get is hiss when l make
an error"
This was the reply made by Hans
Wagner to Il very close friend, ac-
cording to a story from Pittsburg,
when asked within the last few days
for the real reason why he had de-
cided to quit baseball. He mentioned
names and times when certain play
ers had been made much of until the
old-timers couldn't see what it was
all about.
That Hans Wagner-perhaps the
greatest all-around ballplayer in the
history of the game-has asid he will
quit, for one year ut least, because
he had been roasted by fans of his
home town, for whom he made the
game what it is, is not longer a mat
ter of conjecture. 1t is fact.
That Wagner, who has led the Ma
tional league in batting five times in
succession, and who led almost all
other departments of the game as
well, is sensitive as a school girl to
criticism, is now known to the hun
dreds of fans whose roasting have
driven him from the diamond for a
year at least.
The roasting is principally by the
gambling element. In the past two or
three years Hans was bound to get
1t from someone every time he came
to the bat or got his hands on the
ball. If he hit safely he would be
cursed loud and long by those who
had bet against the home team, for
they could see their money going. If
he failed to hit safely he would get
Il worse roasting from those who had
bet on Pittsburg, and who, of course,
depended on the ''Dutchman' 10 pull
out the game for them, and woe to
Wagner if he made Il tumble or Il bad
throw. --sare
Anyone but the big fellow could do
this and escape, but he was supposed
to he infallible. The first fearful roast,
awful and unmerited. came to Wag-
ner when he engineered play during
the worlds championship series with
the Boston Americans some years
ago. Wagner bulled his own play,
furninp what WAS ranlIy n Nvnndprfrl
bit of headwork into laughable
farce. 1t only emphasized the loss of
a game which had already been slip
ping. but had he play gone through
as Wagner directed the game might
have been saved.
Yet there are hundreds of the many
vino that day saw Hans
Wagner drop thrown ball who yet
blame him for the loss of the worlds !
and everything else
that was bad.

WHAT THE UMPIRE THINKS.

It's aggrayating, you would think,
Enough TO drive guy TO drink,

This omnipresent kick and fuss;
You might imagine We would grow

The truth is. though, IL you must
know,
We do not care a thinkers euss.
You've heard them holIer when a
strike
Was called upon some mutt they like.
And tell US we should take hike
Back to the bush leagues tangled

And you have marveled, we're in
elined
To think. we didn't seem to mind,
And did not hurl retort in kind,
But smiled and let their rawlings
pass
Perhaps You thought We were afraid
TO answer all the threats they made.
And wondered why we didn't wade.
Right in with language quite pro-

You were amazed when we would
grin
And smile serenely through the din.
But. candidly. we can't begin
To tell how deep was our disdain-

YALE TO QUIT BASKETBALL.
Manager of New. Haven Team Says
That is Likely to Happen.

New York, March 25--There is more
Than a little chance that the meeting
Of the intercollegiate Basketball AS
ISOLATION in this city on Friday next
will have to consider the resignation
of Yale as well as that of Princeton
from the league. This statement is
based on the receipt here Of letter
from the manager of the Yale basket
ball team in which it is remarked the
consensus at New Haven is that the
faculty is intending to limit partici-
patton in basketball the coming sea-
son and may indeed take steps to
have the game dropped from the
minor sports list. At any event the
best that is hoped is that the game
may be retained at the expense OF
dropping from the league. Such an
action will mean that Columbia, Cor
Tell and Pennsylvania will be the sur
viving members.
Furthermore, ii is reported that
these colleges will withdraw from the
league If some action is not taken to
limit rough play. The college basket
ball players are unanimous that the
last season was more than usually
spoiled by rough play, for which in
competent officials are blamed, IL is
declared that as u sign of dispeasure
and of desire for the reform that the
three colleges named will quit the
league unless it is guaranteed to them
that better and more competent Off
Gals are employed.

vania tonight in the second East

TO PALE, THIN PEOPLE.
Druggist Dutton Offers to Pay for
Samose if it Does Not Make
Thin Folks Fat.

Pale, thin people are simply suffering
from want of nourishment. They may
eat enough, but this food is not properly
digested and does them no good.
Samose, the remarkable flesh forming
food should be used by all who are pale
weak and thin. 1t mingles with the food
and aids assimilation, so that when taken
for short time, Nature will soon assert
her normal powers, and the food that is
eaten will give strength and good flesh.
Weigh yourself before you commerce
the use of Samose, and you will notice a
steady gain. Samose is not a cod liver
oil or similar nauseating connection, but
a scientific fesh-formiug food that re-
stores the thin and scrawny to their pro-
per weight, and fills the weak and debil.
ated with vigor and vitality
The woman who longs for rosy cheeks
and the plumpness of beauty should use
Samose. The man who wants to be
strong and well and gain health and
good flesh, will find his desires accom-
plished by Samose.
Such remarkable results have followed
the use of Samose that Druggist Duttor
is willing to pay for the treatment if il
does not give the desired results. He
makes this offer generally and wants al
who are thin, weak or out of health tt
get a box of Samose from him on those
| terms.

keepers had fled the scene.
one by one the beautiful dogs were
tied to u post. One Of the boys whom
the dogs knew was stationed in front
of the animal. AS the boy called to
the dog aHd the animal looked up in re-

The dreaded hydrophobia appeared
among the dogs on Wednesday Of last
week. when two or three of the pack
were seen to he listless and partly
parayZed. Many showed disposition
to sink away to hide Then one by one
they began to die.
DR. ReaIdon was called to examine
the dogs and at once concluded that an
attack of rabies had broken out The

close proximity to the stables was
made apparent.
Immediate action was decided upon
and, at the advice of Reardon, Presi-
dent Bush ordered that the entire pack
| be sacrificed in an effort to eXterminate
| the dread disease.
The pack was one of the finest in New
England and has been shown many
times. 1t was noted as one of the
finest "drags" having been perfected
under the direction of George Mandell
the master of the hounds, who at pres
ent is in Europe.

At present there is not a dog on the

of the disease.
