BASEBALL DOPE
 lBY TIM MURNANE
JBy Tim AIurnane.)


 BOSTON, July 31.-From my view point, luck is bound to play a m~ra than usual part im the final result this season in both major leagues.
 The great strain on some players to keep at top speed will soon break them down, while other less sensitive workmen will continue to thrive un- der the lash
 Up to the present time no club has felt the effects of the race, outsfde the injury to players, and this is a feature of the game that must be guarded against at the start.
 Tn the American League Detroit still looks like the first money on account of great batting strength, as we'll as having played together through one successful campaign. Then, too, Hugh Jennings is really wonderful baseball leader, and appreciates the value of keeping his men in good shape. Like a mile runner, he fig ures the proper pace for the full dis tance. and is not disturbed when some other club cuts out the running. Con nie Mack is much of the same temper ament, but is worried this season, as his athletic team has shown marked weak spots and will force Mack to make a few changes before he can land the big prize once more. Detroit will be a real contender for the pennant as long as Ty-Cobb keeps ln prime condition, for he seems to be the hub that the tigers work around.

that our real strength shall not be dis sipated on the trihes and spent against the time of real need. TrIfes the carking cares of every day life are the Biblical little foxes that de. stroy the grapes of the vineyard
 A certain family was dominated by a small girl. who threatened when. ever her will was crossed to bite her thumb For years she ruled her reia. tiyes with this rod of iron. They feared to discipline her lest she should really cary lout the aw1ul threat. When she started to school il was the same way. ''If you don't play what I want you to- she would squeal at recess. I'll bite my thumb" Instantly every other child surrend- cred and the desired game went mer- rily on.
 She grew older and went to a board ing school presided over by a calm eyed. deliberate woman. The first time she flew into rage and terrified her associates the parsonage who di- rected the affairs of the scnool betook herself to the girls room That one was leven then screaming that she would bite her thumb. "Why, certain ly." the older woman agreed. pleasant ly. bite it. You may feel better for doing so" It was the last time the threat had any weight.
 If the truth were known why more of the people who start life with Dig. beautiful dreams of accompitshing something fail. it would be that they fritter away the strength that might be used for the large things on tae trifles that come up every day. ( IS not the insurmountable diHiculues that lie across our paths that turn us aside from the goal, but the fretfuI iTritations that we let sap our strength and undermine our cheerfulness. Wor- " wrinkles women and ages men Nine times out of ten the th,ngs wa are worrying over are nor worth q second thought. Few things are.
 It is absolutely impossible to exag gerate the unimportaEce of things Remember that!

Jig money The club will have trou- ble in keeping out of last place, as the New York Highlanders will come stronger in a week or two. or when they get over their present embar- Tassment There is nothing in the second division to bother the leaders and the American League race has slready settled down to Detroit, Chr oago and St. Louis, with the others carfying the torches in the parade.
 In the National League just four clubs have a chance-Chicago Pitts burg, New York and Philadelphia. The present champions have com menced to worry, and worry will break up the best team in the world. It's big stune to puli off the champi- onship three times in succession, and the Cubs will have to go at top speed to beat out both Pittsburg and New York, who have lot to gain by win ming out this season, a,sd win sit up nights to get Charley Murphy's boys.
 The Cubs have no doubt slowed up just a shade, especially in the box, and other clubs are very quick to note the change, and then all clubs will make an extra try to down the Cubs. who have ridden a very high horse while the cards were breaking good for them. Yes, indeed the, Cubs must keep going as never before to land the money three times in sue cession. This time with other clubs favorites with the great army of players.
 It's pretty hard to think the Pirates can land the money. Their team is one-sided affair, with few great play CTS. all well managed by Fred Clarke and enthused by Honus Wagner It will be a great personal victory for Clarke, Wagner and Tommy Leach if the Pirates remain to the finish.
 The Giants can see a big barrel of mo.iey should they land the chance for the worlds series. McGraw is handling his workmen in superior form and being fine lot of stickers are dead sure to stay to the finish. Tn fact, it is already plain that Clarke and McGraw are the generals to wor- ry Chance.
 The Phillies play great ball in the West to fall down badly in the East. The team is snort on staying powers, and will make a fight only for the first division. Cincinnati has shown up to good advantage under John Ganzel In fact. Ganzel must be given credit for making a grand showing with the material on hand, and it will take only three CT four extra good men to put the Reds in the game for first aonors. All the other clubs will trail, with a bare possibility of the doves reaching the first division

NEW YORK.-Many interesting de.
~ tails regarding the work done by
the New York police department dur
ing the last year are contained in the
annual report Of Police COMMISSIONER
Bingham. The commissioner says
that there has been marked i'm.
provement in the efficiency OF the de-
partment during the year. According
to the statistics tabulated by the com.
missioner this was an exceedingly
careless and lawless town during the
u months of 1907.

the number of those in 1906. The
arrests made by the detective bureau
were several thousand greater than
those of the preceding year, and al
most three times those OF 1905, The
fines imposed by the courts were cor,
respondingly greater. The pictures
added to the rogues' gallery were
twice those of 1906, and treble the
number of 1905. Twice as many per,
sons were reported missing in 1907

after the war OF 1872 he had a few

Recollection also has it that he went

lived there for a long time before he
came out Of 1t. His service to his

Little Known of the Louise Home

Of June when the session OF congress
was delayed, the great shady garden
of the home was deserted.
There IS an apparent ignorance In
Washington outside, Of course, of the
immediate friends Of the occupants Of
the Louise home, as to who these oc
cupants are. one never hears nor

death comes, and then the world

Millions Wanted for Next Census

the amount and scope Of the informa-
ton secured were steadily increased
until it became too extensive to be
tabulated by hand.
Nearly five years ago congress au-
thorized the establishment of per-
manent census office in Washington.
The establishment Of such an office
was first advocated In 1888 by Gen.
Francis A. Walker, superintendent of
the ninth and tenth censuses. The cen
sus to be taken in 1910 will be the first
since the establishment of this perma.
nent bureau.
The director, S. n. d. North. who
was an earnest advocate OF perma-
nent Office, says he believes the thir-
teenth census will disclose that there
was neither misrepresentation nor eX-
travagance in the claims of those who
persuaded congress that there would

Odd Items on Senate Expense List

genuity of a fortune teller to explain
what these distinguished statesmen
could possibly do in the course of II
short months with three dozen packs
Of cards and half dozen opera bags.
These things appear on the expense
account, but the uses to which they
were put are not explained.
If man should rush up to you in
the street and ask in a hurried whis-
per what "tatum adjustable punch
is one would probably call policeman
and endeavor to escape from the mad
man. Yet the senate used one OF these
mysterious things, and "one tatum ad.
Unstable punch is duly itemized.

chased to open the ink, mineral waters

Huge Growth of Crime in Gotham

as in the preceding year.
AS the result of an investigation
into the advisability of using police
dogs. the commissioner announces that
trained muzzled dogs are being expert
mented with in the suburbs. The com.
missioner says that no further dis
ciplinary legislation for the police de-
partment is needed at present.
The commissioner makes the follow
ing recommendations "Pawrbrokers,

the police daily with a written report

and by whom.
at present all the machinery of
