GOSSIP OF THE DIAMOND

"Young Eddie" Hanlon, son of the
former manager of the Reds, is man
aging one of the best amateur teams
in Baltimore. The younger Hanlon
does not appear in the lineup of his
aggregation.
Connie Mack must be rated as one
of the best judges of young players in
the country. He picked up two win
ming pitchers this year in Schiller
and Carter.
No-hit games are becoming the rule
rather than the exception in the Amer
lean association. No less than three
such contests have been played in tho
big class A league this season.
Manager John CAMEL of the Reds is
out with the statement that he would
rather have a right-hand batter with
hits .280 than a left-hander with an
average of 1926. He believes that the
right-handers are better when in
pinches.
Jack Taylor, the ex-Cub, is hitting
like fiend for Columbus. He has
not failed to get at least one hit in
each game in which he has appeared.
Bobby Byrne of the Cardinals
ranked as the infleld find Of 1907, has
been supplanted at third base by
Charles.
Not in years has the National league
race been as close as at present. Sin
of the eight teams have won at least
| half their games.

How the Unwary Stranger Is Cheated
System to Be Changed.

Every tourist who comes to Vienna
complains of the stupid double coinage
system which he finds here of ''gul-
dens and kronen" and "kreuzers and
hellers."
Some II years ago the monetary
unit was changed from forms Cor
guldens) lis. 3d. to crowns (10d.)
but the adoption of the latter was not
made compulsory. The result has
been that the two coins have been in
use side by side as monetary stan
dard. Strangers, and residents, too,
for that matter, could not tell whether
the prices marked up in shop windows
meant forms or crowns, condition
which led to a good deal of petty
cheating, especially of the unwary
stranger.
1t was curious that in Vienna so
many shopkeepers preferred to retain
the old system, when in places like
Carlsbad and Marienbad the crown

others piouretted airily in and out
among the other dancers.
One man had his arms held out in a
singularly appealing manner, while his
head was cuddled down on his Shout

preston.
This is the last act, for after about

The commercial instinct of this sect

that of the other, for here the sum of

great volume of sound greeted us and
rose and fell like the sound of mems
voices chanting.

CRISS BECAME PITCHER
In PECULIAR MANNER
Texas with ST. Louis Browns Threw
Curves on InfieId In an Exhi-
bition Game.

"Dode" Criss, the husky Texan now
with Jimmy McAleer's st. Louis
Browns, became known as a finger
in peculiar manner and if the tall
fellow had not turned loose a curve
while playing the infield in the spring
of 1907 he might not be in the major
leagues as a pitcher to-day.
Eddie Ashenback secured Criss Cor
his st. Paul team of the American
Association from the Texas state
league along with Ferris, also with
the Browns this spring, and several
other players. Criss was supposed
to be an outfielder, but in an exhibit
ton game one day he was used at
shortstop. Old joey Sugden, a catcher
in the big leagues long time ago,
was playing first base that day. About
the third inning a ground ball was
knocked to Criss. He gobbled in the
sphere and shot curve to first The
break on the curve was so snappy
that Sugden misjudged the hall and
the runner went to second while the
ball bounded away.
you'll have to give me the signal
when you're going to throw 'em like
that" Sudgen told Crisis and the big
fellow only laughed.
When the Saints went to the bench
Sugden said: "Say. Dode, can you
throw that shoot whenever you want
to-"
oval, I reckon I kim" replied Criss.
In the sixth inning the ST. Psul
pitcher was pounded pretty hard.
Ashenback asked Crisis if he thought
he could go into the box and hold
the other fellows down.
81 reckon l kin do it," said Crisis,
and the next inning he went to the
hill. For three innings he was a cou1-
plete puzzle. He allowed no hits and
famed six of the nine batters who
faced him. AS soon as Jack Dunleavy,
formerly of the st. Louis Cardinals,
Joined the ST. Paul club, the
outfeld, Criss was given a regular po-
sition on the hurting staff. He won
II and lost 10 games for the tail-end
club of the association last year. He
played IS games in the outfield. He
finished the season with a batting
average of PSI.
Crisis is a quiet fellow and hardly
ever breaks into a conversation.
Whenever his manager asks him if he
can do a certain thing, he simply says,
oval, 1 reckon 1 kim" and tries it.
Crisis was carried on the Browns first
trip, but was not used in full game.
He worked one inning against the
White Sox, replacing Waddell, and
sent the Jones men down in order.

Mrs. Jones often declared that she
enjoyed a little chat with their fish
dealer because he was man of such
original ideas, but one day, says Lon

The civil war period will include some
representation of Jay Cooke, the finan-
cier of that struggle, and most inter-
esting feature of this part of the pro-
cessiOn will be details of men, about
20 each, correctly uniformed to repre-
sent every one of the Philadelphia reg.
iments which enlisted for the war.
At this time only the merest outline
of the extent of the historic pageant
can be given, but it is said that the
cost of this feature of the celebration
will be not less than $4,000, and that
estimate, in view of the elaborate pro
gram, seems to be conservative.
AS the pageant is in the hands of a
committee which numbers about 200
members, nearly all of them special
lists in their particular lines, it is rea.
sonable to expect something surpass-
ing any pageant ever given in this
country.
The contrast between the very high
character of the pageant next October
and the one % years ago is likely to
be striking. The advance made here
in all lines of art and decoration and
not to say knowledge has been such
during the quarter century which has
elapsed as to warrant the assertion
that those who witnessed the display
, in 1882 and who see that Of next
autumn will at once recognize the
superiority of the latter.
The celebration in 1882 was ar.
ranged with as much skill and as
much art as was then obtainable. 1t
was Notwithstanding it's enormous de-
fects the most ambitious display of its
kind that had been up to that time
witnessed in this country. The pa
geant, however, was not generally re-
garded as success. In the first
place it was shown at night, and dis
plays which now would be easily abb
tainable were not even imagined then.
The 81 floats which comprised the pro-
cession were shown in three divisions.
The first of these dealt with the past
history of Philadelphia. The second
was a sort of Mardi Gras show Of the
famous women of history and the
third an even more foreign addition,
as it depicted scenes from the life OF
Rama.
Clearly it was because the magma.
tons of the persons in control could
not conceive more than ten ideas for
Philadelphia historical floats that
these excrescences were brought in.
They were solely logged in to length.
en- out the procession, and as was evil
dent to every one had nothing to do
with the landing of Penn.
Illumination was provided by the
method then much in vogue for night
procession, the calcium. There was
one calcium light to each float, either
preceding or following the float as the
case demanded.
In the first division of the pageant
the scenes represented were Penn re.
ceiving the charter; the landing of
Penn at Philadelphia, forming the
great law or frame of government at
Philadelphia on April 2, 1888; Penn
discussing the boundary with Lord
Baltimore; the treaty with the In.
dians; Bouquets battle with the
Indians at Bushy Run in 1853; the
fight around Chews house during the
battle of Georgetown; Washington's
army marching to Valley Forge, and
last, delivery of beaver skins at
Windsor castle in 1880. This latter
event was the last acknowledgment
of fealty of the province of Pennsyl-
vania to the mother country.

Thinking and Livinu.

The decay of any real power of
thinking is an adequate explanation
of deal of the early mortality Of
prosperous middle life. The business
man of 40 is often content to live in
the mere practice, as matter of hab
1t, of what he has acquired. He eats
and drinks too much, and the higher
brain centers waste for want of exer.
else. He dies from stupidity; there
is nothing left to keep him alive

All these sights, and many more
may be seen during drive to see the
dancing, or, more properly, whirling
dervishes, who dance every Friday
afternoon. Friday is the Mohamme-
dan Sunday, and in the afternoon they
conduct this performance, which is
religious ceremony, but palpably
worked up for the benefit of the hun.
dreds Of tourists who flock to see it.
The performance takes place on an
inclosed circular floor, with rugs about
the edge, upon which at the begin
ming the dervishes, to the number of
about 16, sit, wrapped in big black
cloaks and wearing tall felt hats The
sheik, in green turban, sits on q rug
of extra elegance, with the koran on
cushion in front of him. A solo on
wailing flute opened the performance,
piercing squeals and GREATNESS trills
putting our nerves and teeth on edge,
until an unseen man in the balcony
cuts it short by beginning to intone in
high-pitched voice long incarnation
about a young person by the name of
Mall; at least her name was all we
heard. After that the dervishes arose,
cast their cloaks on the ground and
stood revealed in white robes, with
exceedingly full skirts, from under
which their bare feet peeped out.
Then they began solemn process
sion about the space, bowling to their
neighbors either way as they reached
the rug Of the sheik. This was done
three times, the men walking and
bowling, not without grace and dignity.
Suddenly, as the third round was COM
pleted, the first man flung out his
arms and began to spin round and
round, his skirts standing away stiff1y
from his limbs. One could not but
expect to see him suddenly duck, his
skirts billowing up around him, as lit
tie girls do when they play the game
of making cheeses." MomentaTily
he was joined by others, until the ring
became filled with whirling figures,
each holding it's arms and head in
some distinctive position, some going
about sedately in one spot, while

An Occasion for Rejoicing.

Recently the usual morning exer-
cises of a school were interrupted by
knock at the door, After reading a
note which had been handed in, the
principal announced that one of the
teachers would be unable to be at
school for several days, owing to
slight illness. Immediately two boys
began to whisper. Upon asking what
the trouble was, the boys said they
were only talking about the selection
of hymn.
And what would you like to sing?"
said the teacher
"'Count Your Blessings" was. the
quick response.
