the great novelist's home at Tula, In
Yasnaya Polyana. was a feature Of the
celebration. The pilgrims made the
trip on foot living the simple life ON
the road. and on reaching Tiila formed
an encampment and selected a com
mittee to present congratulations to
Tolstoi The protests against the
celebration made by the reactionary
element have been mainly futile. An
extraordinary feature, however. was q
prayer delivered by Father John Of
Cronstadt, in which he made the fol-
lowing amazing supplication:
Take from the earth Thy bias
phemer, the wicked and utirepenting
Leo Tolstoi and all his followers, to-
gether with Witte. that friend Of the
Jews, the destroyer of Russia"
The fact that no prayer can be
recited In Russian churches without
the sanction OF the holy synod is sig
nihcant of the hatred In which the
reactionary party In Russia hold

JOHNSON Is IN BAD
WANTS TO SETTLE MONEY OBJ
LEGATIONS VIA FIST ROUTE.

Jack Johnson, the black shadow of the
pasture short in Europe, at least the
French papers are doing things to him
for trying to evade his bills. The sport
ing writer's of Paris do not know any
thing about the fighting game. but in
their articles about Johnson they indulge
in some personalities that must hurt the
sensitive nature OF the colored pugilist.
1.-The tall man with the big fiat feet is
one OF the nice things the Parisians call
him, and 1.-The long colored fighter is an
other.
Johnson's latest financial enlargement
arose in Paris, where he was doing
stunts on the vaudeville stage, and.
being unable to speak the language, hired

mans name is Speaker Max. accord
ing to the French papers. and he is also
referred to as "Sly Max" After serving
Johnson in the role Of general manager

had earned. The receipts of the show not

son refused to come through with the

this invitation" The diplomatic Max Is
then reported to have communed with
himself for a few hours and suddenly lit
on a brilliant plan. The plot developed
next morning when Johnson was ready
to leave for London and the directors
of the hotel rendered him the little hill
for MaXs services. Johnson wanted the
management to take it out in fists again.

PITCHERS WHO "WIND UP"
NEVER AMOUNT TO MUCH

NEW YORK. August 29.-No ball
pitcher who takes one of those fancy
wind-ups before throwing the ball can
ever become a permanent success. The
authority for this statement is Clark
Griffith, who was a master twirler for
nineteen years. He never wound up be-
fore throwing to the plate in his life.
While none of the great managers APP
pears to have given the matter considera-
ton. it will be noticed that not one of the
great pitchers of the last decade who
lasted longer than four or five years ever
had "wind-up.' The ideal twirler
throws the ball from his shoulder, get
ting momentum by throwing his body
forward on the toes. He simply draws
his arm back and lets go. That is suf-
ficent.
Mathewson of the Giants never winds
up. His only motion is to raise his
hands above his head and then turn the
ball loose. In the American League
Donovan never takes a wind-up Neither
does Cy Young of Boston. He has been
a successful pitcher longer than any
other man. He attributes his lasting
unnecessary motions of his arms. Among
the other great pitchers who do not
use a wind-up are Joss of Cleveland.
