Ira Plank Reports.

Ira Plank, the star pitcher Of the
Northampton baseball team, reached
Springfield Tuesday night and stopped
over to chat with the Springfield play
ers before going on to the Meadow
City. Plank, who with his brother Ed
die Of the Athletic, owns big farm
near Gettysburg, is apparently in prime
condition. He appears well pleased with
the shift that brings him up into
Massachusetts, and said last night that
the Northampton team will have little
troubls in hoeting Springfield and IIol-
yokc. He bases his claim On the fact
that last years Meriden team took five
games frtm Springfield before drop
Ping one ta the Ponies, and he figures
that the Lsce would have been kept ur
hal his team been given support In the
Silver C ty. He went to Northampton
Wednesday night.

lieved, will be a lineup that will put
UP a fight that will sustain the high
record made last year.
In securing William H. Wicks as
captain. the team is fortunate, a ball
player of experience in both profess
sional and semi-professional ranks for
several years. Having played semi
professional ball in and around New
York city for four years, 1904-1907, and
finishing the season of 1907 with the
A. ]. and G. team of the New York
State league, he understands all parts
Of the game. AS he is hard worker
he cannot fail to install the same
spirit in the players of this years
team. Last year he had a try out with
the Fall River team of the New Eng
land league, but owing to an injured
arm, caused, presumably, by his early
spring practice. he failed to show his
usual good form and returned to the
hospital where his playing attracted
much local attention. On account of
his sunny disposition he is very pop
ular among the players and he has the
well wishes Of all that know him for a
successful season
Manager Farrell is ready to hear
from strong teams that want a date

WASHINGTON VERY NEARLY
IGNORED THE BIRTHDAY
Father of His Country lid Not
Celebrate His Natal Day oday
Marks His 177th Anniversary.
tspeclal to The .sentinel.l }


Philadelphia. Feb 22.-While the
people of the nation are today cele-
brating the 177th birthday of George
Washington, it appears from his
diaries and other manuscripts that
the great statesman and general paid
little or no attention to his birth an
niversary.
While living in this city. soon after
his election as President, he made
this entry in his diary on Monday,
February %, 1890:
set seriously about removing my
furniture to my new home. Two of
the gentlemen of the family had their
beds taken there, and would sleep
there tonight
From the beginning one is left TO
infer that he was not in the habit of
celebrating his birthday with undue
hilarity or display. The humor of
the situation becomes all the more
apparent when one learns from his
diary that this was about the fourth
time he had set seriously about re-
moving to his new quarters"
He appears to have been equally
Indifferent during the Revolutionary
war as to the day which all modern
Americans celebrate. Doubtless the
matter never once entered his head.
And there were times during the
struggle for liberty when the anni-
versary of his birth proved day of
trouble and anxiety and vexation.
just before the bombardment of
Boston and the evacuation of that
port by the British. he wrote letter
to his friend. James Reed, which
would seem to indicate that February
%. 1875, found him in humor any
thing but joyous and pleasant. The
rafarrad IN N the IalfaI
held on that date.
During the latter days of his ad-
ministration his life was embittered
and rendered miserable by the mach
nations of those who were genuine.
if not avowed, Tories. One of the
gloomiest letters in the entire length
and breadth of his voluminous cor
respondence he wrote on the occas-
ion of his sixty-fifth birthday to
Henry Knox.
In the course of this letter, Wash
inEton said
ITO the wearied traveller who sees
resting place and is bending his
body to lean thereon, | now compare
myself: but to be suffered to do this
in peace is too much to be endured
| by some. To misrepresent my mo-
! tives, TO reprobate my politics, and to
weaken the condolences which has
been reposed in my administration
are objects which cannot be relinq-
uished by those who will be satisfied
/ with nothing short of a change in our
| political system. The consolation,
/ however, which results from con-
scious rectitude, and the approving
/ voice of my country unequivocally
expressed by its representatives, de
prive their sting of its poison, and
place in the same point of view both
the weaknesses and the malignity Of
their efforts.

contestants from Colorado Springs
and Ell Paso county, one candidate
will be sent from the eastern portion
of Colorado. a second person from
the upper portion of western Colo
rado, and a third contestant from the
lower part of western Colorado.
A representative of The Telegraph
was here explaining the proposition
to several of our young ladies', and it
is expected that at least one of them
will enter the race, which is open
to every boy or girl, man or woman,
of good standing in this vicinity Ev-
! efNDOuy mas an equal Cndnce TO earn
this fine trip, and those who are
willing to exchange a little of their
spare time for nice summer vaca-
ton would do well to write at once
to the Contest Editor of The Tele-
graph for particulars.

efforts are being made by The Tele-
graph to increase its subscription
lists. and as it is a bright. newsy
paper. their efforts will no, doubt be
successful. In addition to the prize

cial offer during the Telegraph's An

subscription for only S3.75 cash (the
regular price is $4.SO). will hold
