While Bresna- han is fine player, you must not overlook the fact that Schlei is a pretty good catcher himself. He is steady. a hard worker and can throw to bases like rife shot. Under McGraw I think Schlei will pretty nearly fill Bresnahans shoes. But the ten strike was in getting hold of Murray. This young man was catcher when he left college 10 play professional ball, but he was placed In the outfield because he could hit. He is one of the fastest men I have even seen. He has developed into a splendid outfielder and will be in time one of the big hitters of the National league. He will fit into left field nicely and will strengthen the New York team immeasurably. Bugs Raymond is another Waddell as far as eccentric behavior goes. He likes notoriety and is liable to walk down Broadway any night this summer with this sign On his back: We won to-day and l pitched Me Graw can handle him, however. and you will see him pitch some great ball unless l am in error."

BILL DONOVAN HOLDS RECORD.
Pitchers Percentage of 1882 is Best Ever Made in American League.

z B
 "Bilr' Donovan's record of winning 9 games and losing only four during the American league season of 1907 is a record for that organization. His percentage of 1862 is nearly 100 points better than any other twirler ever made in Ban Johnson's league.
 Previous to last season Clarke Griffith, now manager of the New York Americans, and Jack" Chesbro, one of his pitchers, were tied for the honors, with percentage of .774. Chesbro's record made ill 1901, IS bet ter than Griffith's record of 1901, be- cause Happy Jack worked in B games, while Foxy Griff officiated in only 31.
 Hughie Jennings didn't use Dono- van until the end of May, working him against Washington. The late start accounts for the fact that Bill" only twirled in 30 games, one being tie. Late in the season he was un- der great strain, however. as he was worked nearly every other day, with the Tigers pitching corps fast going to pieces
 A. G. Spalding is the only pitcher who ever made better record than Wild Bill. In 1875 pitching for the Boston Nationals, his percentage of victories totalled .S99.
 Following is list of the lending pitchers in the American league since its organization. All of them have twirled in 20 games or more:
 Year 1900, Miller, 26 games, with Detroit, per centage, .731. 1901, Grif- filth, 31 games with Chicago, .7T4 1902, Waddell, 30 games, Athletics, .756. 1903, Moore, 20 games, Cleve- land, .759. 1904, Chesbro, B games, New York, .774. 1905, Waddell, 3S games, Athletics, .73O. 1906. Plank. p games, Athletics, .760. 1907, Dono- van, 29 games, Detroit, .S62. -..
 Had it not been for the wonderful work of "Bill' Donovan, Addie Joss would have had the honor Of being the premier pitcher last year. Joss got away with a great start. winning something like ten straight games. Then he went up against a bunch of hard luck. He pitched great ball. but the Maps either failed to hit behind him of were off in their fielding.
 Joss did a lot more work than Dono- van. as he officiated in 39 games Ad- die scored 27 victories, was defeated II times and twirled in one tie game. the fact that Joss was taken out of the box only once last year shows that his pitching was high class ali the way. His percentage for the season was Ill. Jake Friedman was next best, with .519.

JOHN FLANAGAN's HAMMER.
Italians Took It for Bomb and
 @. Ran.

A good story is going the rounds at the expense of John Flanagan. the hammer thrower. Recently John was going out of New York to compete at some athletic games. Following the usual custom of weight throwers, he carried along with him his own weight, a sixteen pound iron ball. with a thirty-six inch wire handle attached. On the way Flanagan met some friends, and they called in at a "coId tea house" 10 enjoy a couple of tall ones.
 Being painfully modest, John de- cided to leave the hammer outside. so that the folks inside would not get wise to the fact that he was a great athlete. 4 few minutes later along came a party of Italians, dis eussing the topics of the day in their native tongue.
 Suddenly from out of their midst came a fearful whoop. and the bunch scattered like wildfire. All made to get behind trees or into houses. One rushed into the cafe where John and his party were standing and shrieked at the top of his lungs:
 .'Bigga da bomb." Black Hand," "Runna fastI"
 With that he disappeared out of the back door and was mp the street in a jiffy.
 Flanagan and his friends stood in breathless silence waiting for the roof of the building to be blown on. but as no explosion came one of the number took courage and peeped out of the door to see what had caused the italians to stampede There beside the entrance lay the cause of all the furoTe-FIanzEznis sixteen pound hammer
 The men from sunny Italy had mistaken the iron ball for a bomt and the long wire handle for fuse SO Of course the laugh vas oa Johz-

GUM. This is a great factory town
where there are no trained nurses and
no hospitals for children, and where the
majority of the women and girls are
factory workers. A society of social
lists found seven years ago that the
death rate among infants was 333 to
the 1000 They opened milk depots
where modified milk was had at cost,
or given free, where mothers could come
and bring their babies for free treat
ment, where young girls were trained as
nurses, and regular illustrated lectures
on child-care were given throughout the
year. The best mothers are now dele.
gated as twisting mothers to those
who are ignorant in the care of chill
dren, and the death rate has gone down
to four per cent, after having been re-
duced to twenty-seven per cent. in the
first year Over 400 babies have been
raised entirely by this club.
In olden times it was believed that
the death of many infants was newt
able Modern science denies this most
emphatically, and the shibboleth of the
times is "save the babies. This is
to be done chiefly through the food.
intestinal troubles and
typhoid are spread to their millions
through the milk given babies. When
it is recalled that the laws of Den
mark protect hogs and milkfed cattle
from tuberculosis by requiring that the
milk be sterilized, it seems to be
blow at our national intelligence that
we have so long delayed doing this for
the babies of the land.

At recent gathering, A. w. Mer-
rlfield paid brief but eloquent tri-
butte to his friend Congse ssman
Pray, comparing his constant attend
ance upon his wife in her recent ILL
ness, at the sacrifice Of business and
political interests, with the devotion
Of our martyred Mckinley to his in
valid wife, during the long years Of
suffering.
In these days of comm nc ,alism--
progress is the word generally EN-
Notwithstanding to some ideals,
properly; to others, improperly, these
instances of devotion, of self abneg-
alton, stand out as bright, green,
GASES, in the desert Of whirling rush
and bitter strife for place, power and
money.
Sentiment" some one will ex
claim
Very we'll: 1t is sentiment, not
progress, that leads the husband to
spend days and months and years at
the bedside of an invalid wife; that
leads the wife to stand by and COM
fort and cheer her companion, in the
days of trial and misfortune. What
artist ever painted picture as beau
tlful as the sight of a young man, in
the glory and strength of his sturdy
young manhood, tenderly supporting
the lettering steps OF his aged moth
er? 1t is sentiment, not progress,
that inspires him In his devotion. sg
Sentimental most beautiful goddess
and heaven could give to mankind no
more gracious gift than the assurance
| that with all her graceful, lovely,
beautific presence, she should always
| be with US, progress or no progress.

Getting down to the labor question,
Mr.. Kern continued, showing how the
rights of labor were shut out Of the
house: THE Executive Council of
the American Federation of Labor as
committee, entered a protest. a.
gainst the way all bills in the inter-
est of labor We're killed in the COM
mittee ROOM"
The protest reads in part:
The committee on labor CT the
house of representatives was insti-
tuted at the demand of labor to voice
its sentiments, to advocate its rights
and protect it's interests.
In the past two congresses this
committee has been so organized as
to make Intellectual any attempt la
Dor has made for redress. Not only
was labor's request ignored but the
hostile makeup Of the committee was
accentuated.'
We wish We had the space in which
to print the speech entire, but this
being impossible We have presentd
few of the salient points for the con-
sideration of the voter who honestly
wishes to cast an INTELLIGENT
VOTE in November.
Mr.. Kern closes as follows:
Let this be campaign of edu-
cation and argument. Let cur ap-
peals be to reason and patriotism of
the American people. Let us be Wig
liant and unceasing in honest work
for righteous cause, and glorious
victory in November will crown our

TMe Canadian Tercentenary.

The tercentenary Of the settlement
of Quebec bids fair to be memora-
BILE event in American development
The British colonies have been brought
closer by the celebration and the rec
ognition by the mother land Of the
wealth and Importance of Canada,
with her three centuries Of history,
her prosperous people and her sub
stantial foundation as nation. On
the soil Of Canada France and Eng
land once struggled for the mastery.
Now fused French and English pop
ulation meet as Canadians, saying that
in the exploration, settlement and final
development Of the Dominion there is
glory enough for all.
France and England have recently
become cordial friends and political
allies. Ancient feuds have been buried
in the old world, and they will have
no place in the hearts OF French Ca
nadians and British Canadians, whom
fate have brought under one flag in
the new world. The unity Of sentf-
ment between the Inhabitants of Can
ada and the loyalty Of both blood
strains toward the parent country
have been emphasized in this mid
summer celebration at Quebec Nei-
Their the political independence Of the
Dominion or her annexation with the
United States is foreshadowed by the
present ambitions and ideals Of our
northern neighbors as disclosed by
Canadian people and officials before
the visiting people and officials at
Quebec.
The wisdom of British rule over a
foreign people has been demonstrated
in Canada and is in some degree doubt
less responsible for the cordial &C.
ceptance by France Of the invitation
to assist in the Quebec celebration. In
the main the French colonists were
treated with justice and rare lib
toms and sentiment flourish today
throughout the province Of Quebec,
yet the French Canadians apparently
have no desire to return to French
rule and If permitted the choice would
probably elect to retain their present
government, under which they have
enjoyed so wide measure Of liberty
and prosperity.
