HARRY DAVIS WAS IMPRESSED.

Just after Connie Mack returned
from his far western trip a short while
ago. he ran into the clever Harry Da-
Wis, and the two men began to talk
about the recent trades that the St
Louis and the New York American
teams had pulled off.
Connie thought, as did Harry Davis,
that the Highlanders would be greatly
strengthened by the acquisition of the
players they received from the St.
Louis people. and both men were loud
i'm their praise OF the ability possessed
by Pitcher Glade.
That's one of the best twirlers in
the business today" said Mack. and

ing to a reliable authority he cost the
Boston management s13,500. OF this
amount. $500 was paid in cash, While
Schlaf1y and Grimshaw. two players
valued at $1,000. were also thrown in to
bind the bargain. Thus it will be seen
that the Boston club had to turn over
a fat sum for a player who had been

league managers. Great things of him
are expected in Boston. At present he
can't read the figures offered him in
his contract. He claims they are too
small for the naked eye.
Cost No Criterion.
The cost of ball player in no way
determines his value. as Fred Clarke,
the manager of the Pittsburg team, well
knows. The Pirate management paid
over s. 500 for Pitcher Adams of Den
yer and something like $500 for Mad
dox to the Wheeling team of the Cen
trail league. Great things we're ex-
pected of Adams. while little was
thought of Maddox. Adams had little

In a few weeks the major league

Palestine, who came here in connection
with affairs in Upper Galilee, states
that Baroness Edmond de Rothschild
has given permission for the erection
of hospital on plot of ground which
she bought for the purpose many years

the offer and has opened fund to in

Il fatal bullet pierced his abdomen.
Horror-stricken, the other brother re-
monstrated with the murderer, but his
remarks were responded to by a bullet,
which pierced his broad Turkish trous-
crs-singeing them. Believing that
this man was killed also the assassins
left him. The poor fellow was afraid
to leave his dead brother alone lest
the hyenas might devour him before
morning. He, therefore, put the body
on his back and carried it to the strick-
en- wife and children. The dead man
was "A champion fighter, and it is be-
licved that his murderer is none other
than the man that recently killed the
soldier who came to arrest him. The
