PLANS FOR GIVING AID
 TO TOILERS OF THE SEA

Washington, November 17.-The winters toll of shipwreck and death along the Atlantic coast probably will be lessened this year because of an order which President Taft has given for the pro- lection of seafaring men. On the morn- ing of December 1, ten of the stanchest revenue cutters on the Atlantic side will slip out to sea from their home stations to begin a patrol which will not end until April l. 1911. The Woodbury, An droscoggin, Gresham, Acushnet, Mohawk Apache, Onondaga, Pimlico, Seminole and Yamacraw have been chosen for the work. With the exception of brief visits to ports for supplies during those four months, the greyhounds will be con- tinually at sea, patrolling the coast from Fastport, Me, to Cape Canaveral, Fla with a sharp-eyed lad always in the ..crow's nest and the wireless ready for the IS.

SECURE
indian PITCHER

The Detroit Tigers have signed an
indian pitcher, a genuine redsl1in. sHis
name Is Skeets. Whether or not this
is his assumed name or baseball sobri-
quet, is hard to say, but he is signed.
and that is good enough. Writing from
the Canadian northwest, Frank Guer-
ney, Detroit ball player, tells of De-
troit's new prize in the pitching line.
Jimmy Casey has signed Skeets. the
best pitcher on our club writes Cues
ney to a Detroit relative. "Skeets is a.
full-blooded Ind4an, is 20 years old and
one of the best young pitchers 1 ever
looked at. I think the sale price was
$1,000"
Guerney is with the Regina team,
far up in the northwest. Signing
player in that remote district shows
that there is little of the populated dis
trictsf overlooked by the scouts. 1t
takes the best part of a week to get
where Guerney is playing.

Princess Butcher of wahlstadt rep

birth a Russian, she is a daughter of
Princess RadziwelI, whose autobiogra-
ply excited considerable interest. Her
time seems to be divided among her
elderly husbands estates in Prussia
and Austria, a hotel in London and the
island Of Herm, in the Channel is

no doubt go in for an aeroplane.

charm for this plucky Australian. Mrs.
Assheton Harbord has several times
crossed the channel in a balloon and
while doing so has met with no end OF

Chicago, Aug. 5,-News that Martin
Sheridan of the Irish American Ath-
letlc club is to compete in the 1910 all
around championship event of the
Amateur Athletic union at Chicago
during the latter part of August has
sent thrill of pleasure throughout the
world of the spiked shoe.
1t was only few months ago that
Sheridan announced that he was
through with athletics and would set
tie down more strictly to his business
of patrolling his police beat in New
York, for Sheridan, with James J..
Flanagan and several other we'll
known New York athletes, is a. police
man. s r.
Sheridan's waving of his former
edict came at the earnest solicitation of
his many friends who wanted to see
him just once again in action. The
all-around contest is always one of
the most interesting of the season, and
of late years Sheridan has been par
ticularly fortunate in his versatile ath-
letic prowess, according him almost
walk-away in the event.
Foremost among Sheridans prospec-
tive rivals for the highest honors of the
A. A. u. is Joe Horner the young Uni
versity of Michigan star, whom Keene
Fitzpatrick, the astute ex-Michigan
trainer, declares can beat Sheridan
any time the two meet. Horner is now
in Europe, but may return for the COM
petition. ...
Another of the candidates in the fore
ground is Ellery Clark, the Boston mil
lionaire, who has held the honor, but
had 1t taken from him by the present
champion, Sheridan.
Sheridan's work with the discuss has
been the talk of two continents. He
does not approximate his brilliance
with the discuss in other events, but
he is a remarkably versatile athlete,
and IL he, Horner and Clark meet 1T
should mark one of the best matches
for individual supremacy ever COM
peted under A. A. u. colors.
