Moved Only When Ready

His slowness and lack of guidance
had, however, the advantage of making
Lincoln thorough. He never was sure
that he knew anything unless he IN
deTstood~it perfectly. We have his own
statement that to comprehend the
meaning of the word demonstrate" he
worked until he had mastered the six
books of Euclid and this was long aft
CT his boyhoOd days. Indeed. there
never was a man more familiar with
the pains and woes of mental drudgery
than Lincoln, and it required real cour-
age to keep him at his task, for he was
not fond of study for its own sake.
Neither was he naturally thorough OF
methodical. On the contrary, he was
inclined to disorderly habits and Slip
shOd methods, some of which he never
outgrew, and at first he attempted to
clip corners and find short cuts to
learning quite as often and as hope
fully as other boys have done. Indeed,
it was only through repeated failure
that he learned that II was impossible
for him to acquire anything except at
the price of good. hard work. Even
when he began to study law he had a
fleeing hope that his knack of speech
making would relieve him from the
drudgery Of the profession, only to con-
that any one who relied on such an
exemption was "a failure in advance"
Americans are said to admire smart
ness, sharpness, and SNOWY traits of
mind, but these qualities were all con-
spicuously lacking in Lincoln. He
could. upon occasion, make bright
reply or a neat retort, but as a rule he
required time and careful preparation
to appear at an advantage, and he was
often painfully slow in making up his
mind Perfectly aware of these limi-
tations, he concentrated all his efforts
upon discovering the real issue or
point in any subject and mastering
that to the exclusion of details. and
of this training came one of the most
pitiless analyzers Of facts, one of the
soundest logicians. and one of the keen
est traliers OF truth that the world !
has ever known This was not. how
ever. solely or even largely the result /
of his application to books He had 1
neither the tastes nor the opportuni-
ties of a boOkworm. He preferred the /
company of his fellow men, and from |
them he learned far more than he did 1
from any printed page. He was not. /
however, what is generally known as a /
student of human nature. Probably ii /
never occurred to him to dissect and 4

nevertheless he was a close and accu- /
rate observer, and by mixing freeiv /
with all sorts and conditions of men he /
acquired remarkable knowle ledge of /
humanity. In the discussions at the 1
country store at Salem, and at other
local forums, he discovered that the 1
man of moderate attachments. who was /
truthful and sincere, often had his mem |
tai superiors at a decided disadvan /
tage, and early in his career he schooIed |
himself against exsggeration and over i

 TWO RUNS IN THE FIRST Hess Was Never in Trouble After
 Initial Inning. The Umpires Handed the Climbers . Raw Deal in the Fourth, Which
 Gave New Orleans Two

George, the southpaw W sthat Greminger picked up in Chattanooga. was allowed to go the entire route yesterday: There were only nine innings. but if there had been a few more rounds, it's a. question as to how many men the Pel- fcans would have showed over the plate. While the climbers got two. the Pei: jeans making 1t three straight ana George getting his with regularity.

 Not clean hit was made on Hess ing out a hit to DeMont in the eighth. Hess had splendid control, giving only one base on balls and he got away with three strike-outs. The one base first inning that Kerwin walked. with one down. and with two out Rocky drove him in with Q two-bagger to left. neT Shich drovs sGoSsa RocKy in. m Tsess were the only hits that did any damage and Climbers scored.

 Hess started the last of the. third with a two-bagger and got to third on Reagan's hit to Osteen, scoring on Rohes sacrifice fly.
 In the last of the fourth. 1t looked like Fitzsimmons handed the Climbers a pretty raw deal. Huelsman had hit safe and with one gone, DeMont hit safe. Huelsman going to third. Shriyer hit at Pope, the Kid with the ball tag Ring Huelsman before he got back and throwing to Greminger completed the double. O'Brien called Shrtver out. but made no decision on the play at third. After big wrangle Umpire Fitzsim- mons finally ruled that Huelsman was safe, allowing the claim of the New Orleans players that Huelsman had never left third and only calling Shriv- CT out, admitting afterwards that he did not see the play. Then Dundon hit safe, Huelsman and DeMont counting, Hess ending 1t with q Rrounder to Gremtnger, but the score was 8 to 2.
 In the last of the seventh George was demolished. With one gone, Dun- don got Texas Leaguer and with two out he stole second and scored on Rea- gan's hit.

Empires Go to Sleep
Losing Tennis Team Hosts for
 Victors Around FestiUe Board

Around the festive board, the grace ful losers behind Captain H. s. Keal- hofer in the tennis tournament of the Country Club last night. faced their conquerors under Captain Holt's lead ership in better nature than on the courts of the club. They ate with greater hearts--and larger appetites-- than the winners. and Captain Keal- hofer talked longer about the defeat than did Captain Holt about the vict- ory.
 Fact was. the losing captain did not consider that the tournament was over at all last Saturday. when the scores indicated his defeat His turn. he be- lieved. was to come at the banquet and there was a lot of fun to repay him and his team-m mates for waiting.
 There were about fifty Country Club folk out to partake of the elegant din- ner that had been arranged. The din- CTS sat about T-shaped tables-the shape being made advisedly to abbre- viate "tennis"--and ,overhanging this figure across the entire width of the main club room was stretched tennis net with the letters c. C.. M. suspend- ing with 1t. The latter letters stood for the Country Club of Montgomery.
 The tables were beautifully decorated with Dorothy Perkins roses while the mantel was fairly covered with a lux urfant display of creeping myrtle. It was typical country club scene, giv- ing an atmosphere of decided svivar taste.

PLAYER STORKE NOT
 FORGED TO PAY FINE


 Cincinnati. O.. May 1s-The applica- ton of Player Allen H. Storke, of the Pittsburg National League club for reinstatement was granted without the infiiction of any penalty by the Nation al Baseball Commission today The player did not report to his club this spring, having been given permission to finish his studies at law school by the Pittsburg management.
 His record in the past having been of the very best and in view of the fact that he had the permission of his club to remain away. his applicatio for reinstatement was granted without the infiiction of any penalty.
 The comm mission announced a ruling in the case of Player Walter Justus, who made a claim against the St |. Louis American League club for sal ary from May { to May IA. when he was released to the Lancaster, O., club. The commission. found that the player is entitled to the salary due him and the St. Louis club Is directed to pay him the same after deducting $50 advanced to him and what ever moneys they paid out for doctor and nurses during the time he was i'll. while with that club.

the guests, before .and after the ban. auet. The successes and reverses were gone over again and the losers. of coudse could then see how with just a slight change of tactics the scales could have been easily turned. And they are going to do 1t next time which begins this afternoon.
 Captain Holt. in short speech. thanked his followers for the heroisnn. the fortitude and the vaior of thsIr play. Under a fierce fire they had up- held the honor of their captain.
 The oration of Captain Keaihofer was a stunning conception from the standpoint of porch auditor" The game was described as from the blrd's. eye view and some quite entrancing language was used. as vehicle to ride Into the affections of his cohorts who chased him to the Waterloo. The unan- imity with which the captains were chosen was the subject of special conn that the captains were selected By ss- cret ballot.
 Captain Keaihofer. drawing himssif up in classic style. made frequent ref erences to q written speech. which ha waved cutely toward his audience but as much as he resembled Mark Anthony they would not hear the will" The spoken words. it was agreed more than offset the decease of the writtsn speech.
 The new resolution os Captain Keai- hofer is to play as well as he talks.

BILL KAY MUST GO
 BACK TO WASHINGTON

Cincinnati. oa May 1s.--In announc- ing two decisions on cases Of free Agents," the National Baseball Com mission warns the clubs under the na- tional agreement that they should pro- tect their interests by making all play CTS sign contracts. Jersey City sent Arthur De Groff to Wilkes-Barre. Jer- sey City wanted the player back, but De Groff claimed he was a free agent. The player has proved his case. but the commission says that clubs in the future should put no player ope the pay roll without making him sign a contract. De GroR had none with eith- CT club.
 W. B. Kay. who was turned adrift by the Washington club some time ago. also put in a claim to be called a free agent. The commission. how ever. refused to allow his claim. Kay is ordered to report to the Washing ton club at once. Kay is at present playing with the Troy, NA Y. sclub, al- though he has been with several other teams since Washington sent him back to the minors.

Trying to Reduce Weight to Two Hun-
 dred and Twenty Pounds.
 Chicago May 18.-Janes J. Jeffries has jumped on the scales In public for the first time since he came out of re- tirement, and tipped the beam at 24s pounds.
 Jeffries announced he would weigh again before he left the city and would show whether or not he was reducing his avoirdupois.. He said his best lighting weight is 220.
 T don't see where I am asking much for delay In training" said Jeff. "I simply want to be in the best possi- ble shape when enter the ring. When Sullivan and Corbett signed up in 1892 1t was in March. They met in September. How long did Fitzsimmons and Corbett have for training? It was & matter of months. I know"
 As part of his daily exercise at the Chicago American League ball park, Jim Jeffries frolicked with the play CTS, especially Smith. At one time Smith had pugilistic aspirations and thought this a grand opportunity to test his fighting qualities. Smith could not penetrate Jeffries' guard and never came close to touching the cham pion. On che other hand Jeffries hit the pitcher where and when he pleased, and Smith soon realized that he had better stick to baseball.
 A suit has been laid aside for tho champion, but 1t is too small for Jeff. ries' large frame and he contents him. self with wearing a pair of street trousers and an ordinary pair of shoes.
