Unnecessary Question.

Some time ago an elderly gentle
man was cycling down a narrow
street in a country town when dog
suddenly rushed out from a door
way and, getting under his wheel,
threw him on the ground in sitting
position. The dog, seeming to en-
Joy the situation, barked playfully.
A boy who was passing at the same
time stood calmly staring at the per
formance for minute or two and
then inquired in quiet voice, "Dld
you fall off, mister"
etOf course I did," said the old
gentleman angrily, while getting up

from his clothes.

BRYAN and TAFT.
Queer Coincidence In This County
As TO Names.

WASHINGTON, April 12:-Rep
resentatlve Ellerbe has been endeav.
ring for sore time to secure an ad-
ditional free delivery route in Will
lialnsburg county. He did not
make much progress and today he
called again to see Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General DeGraw. When
informed that the railroad station
was named Bryan and the post
Office Taft, Mr. DeGraw said there
would be no more delay, and that
the ronte would be placed in opera.
ton June l without fail.
Mr. Ellerbe was further questioned
by Mr. DeGraw as to why Taft and
Bryan were figuring so prominently
down in Williamsburg, and he
wanted to know if the postmaster at
Taft was not named Roosevelt.
Mr. Ellerbe could not give him the
information, but promised to ascer.
tain the facts Immediately. Mean
time preparations are being made to
start the route on the date named
Mems & Courier.
The coincidence above noted is
striking, in view of the fact that W
H Taft and W ] Bryan will probably
be the opposing candidates for pres
ident IN the next campaign. 1t is
merely a coincidence, however, as
every one knows who is familiar
with the circumstances.
The station was originally Green
'Hill and is situated six miles east of
Lane. The postoffice bore the eu-
, phonlous appellatlve of Greens.
A few years ago as a compliment
to Waterman s Taft, one of the big
bugs of the Atlantic Coast Corpora
tion of Georgetown, the name of
both station and postoffice were
{ changed to Taft.
but the man who has built up
Taft and developed the surround
ing country is Hon William D Bry-
an; hence the people of the vicinity,
IN giving honor where they deemed
it due, demanded that the station be
namod Bryan, and it was in his hon

not with any political significance

CREW WORK AT CORNELL.
Only Few Men Lacking From Last
Years Eight.

NEW YORK, February 22.-The pre-
l,minary crew work at Cornell, in prepa-
ration for the annual intercollegiate re-
eatta at Poughkeepsie June y, has oeen
recommended under the eyes OF Coach
Courtney. The veteran sweep wizard is
deyoting his attention to varsity and
freshman crew squads. which are pract1c-
ing daily on the machines In the armory.
One hundred and eight candidates COM
prise the squad, which consists of SIX
regular varsity and five regular freshman
combinations. Despite the severe snakeup
in Cornell athletics, due to the recent
examinations, which eliminated several
foot ball and track team veterans, the
oarsmen have SO far escaped. But two
members of the big squad have been lost
during the recent recess in athletic train
Ing. and this detection was due to the
candidates in question having left college.
Il lis together with the veteran material
available gives the Cornell prospects
bright hue for the coming season. But
three of last years varsity eight have
been lost since the day that Columbia and
Cornell made rowing history on the Hud-
son by a. sensational bOw-and-bow race
over the four-mile POughkeepsie-High-
lands course. For the places thus made
vacant, those of Newman, No. 3; Stoweil,

Cornell on Summer Base Ball.

CornellS faculty seems to think that it
has solved the summer base ball problem,
and in doing so the Ithacans have Just
about boxed the compass. 1t was only a
year ago that Charles Young, who was
physical director, urged that all rules re-
garding summer base ball by Cornell stu
dents be repealed and that the men be
permitted to play as much as they liked
without being debarred, unless they
played with league teams. Although
these sentiments were quite widely in
dorsed by Cornell men the university
took no official action.
But now Cornell has taken the first
real step toward stamping out the sum-
mer ball evil. And the Ithacans should
be congratulated on being the only in
stitution which has cleaved the way
right to the heart of the trouble That
many members of every big college nine
are merely masquerading as amateurs be-
cause of their summer base ball connec-
lions is a fact which cannot be denied
much less disproved. The men either
play under assumed names or they cover
up the fact that they receive payment
for their work by some ingenious ar
rangements with their managers Cornell
mas therefore gone on the assumption
that every student who plays on non
scholastic or collegiate teams, where an
admission fee is charged, is paid to do
So This radical ruling may hurt some
players, but If summer base ball is the
evil it is charged with being it needs
stern measures, and in this respect Cor
nell is on the right track. 1t will be in

be bit surprised if Keller is one, two,
three this year Clarke Griffith certainly
hopes Wee Willie RECEIVERS his batting
eye, for with him swatting the ball in
old-time form. it makes a different team
out Of the Highlanders.
Lajoie hits the ball as hard as Sam
Crawford, but. unlike the Detroit slug
ger. he doesn't take big swing. Lajoie
doesn't swing at the ball like Crawford
or chop at it like Keller; he's just the
happy medium of these two styles. Into
powerful physique, and his drives gener-
ally cling close to the ground or go to
the outfield on dead line. Two home
runs made by Lajoie last season, and his
only two four-sackers Of the season by
the way, are proofs Of the way he hits
the ball. One day he sent one of Joe
Doyle's fast ones on line to the left
field fence in Cleveland. and the ball
went through stout wire screening. On
another occasion a fast ground ball to
stead of his hands. and bounded into the
left field bleachers for a homer.
Lajoie's position at the plate is one Of
ease. Most batters, no matter how good
when facing the pitcher, but not the
Cleveland manager. His attitude is one
of Indifference. Knowing his ability to
hit, the pitchers never serve them
through the middle to him. but keep
them on the in or outside high or low.
Like Keller, Lajoie for the first time in
his career fell below the 800 mark. He
was only one point shy of the mark.
however while Keller was siXty-five
points to the bad.
Although Cobb, Stone and the rest are
great hitters. every now and then they
have bad day and look like poor bats
men. One day last year White caused
Ty Cobb to strike out the four times
he came to the plate. George Stone
strikes out more than any of the lead
ing hitters, while Willie Keeler offends
the least in this respect. One year Ed
Walsh was the only pitcher who caused
Keller to strike out, and he turned the
trick twice.
TopAy Hartsel of the Athletics is one
of the little fellows who hit the ball
hard. Hartsel Is left-hander. and. al
though not a whole lot larger than
Keller, most Of his hits go on a line and
for extra bases. Last year he made
three home runs. ten three-baggers and
twenty-three doubles. That's going some
for a wee chap.
