TO GET JUMPING RECORDS.
No Official Figures Now and Events
in Federal Games Will Stand.

Ten of the best jumpers in the South
Atlantic district will compete in the
three standing hops" on the evening
program of the federal indoor games at
Convention Hall next Saturday night. and
the winner will create an American in
door record in the event. For on the his
torical records Of the Amateur Athletic
Union there are no official figures for this
event. and the athlete who gets away
with the blue ribbon will be officially
named in the 1910 athletic almanac as the
record holder.
Charley King, Washington Groves star,
and the South Atlantic broad jump cham
pion; Horrax of Johns Hopkins. the for
mer intercollegiate high jump champion;
Morton n the same college and Stratton
of the Washington Y. NJ. c. A. are the
men with the best hopping records. all of
them having done between % and 30 feet.
The standing broad jump for school
boys on the afternoon program is another
event in which there are no official fig
ures, and the winner of which in the
federal games will have his name in this
years almanac as the creator of record.
That the event is popular among the boys
representing ten schools. Gerald Connel-
ly, the Baltimore City College captain:
Rathbone of Business High, Low of
Friends Select, Spransy of Technical High,
Archer Smith Of Tome, Green of MERGERS
burg and Dawson of Rockville Academy
top the list so far as records are con-
cerned. all these boys having done nine
feet or better. There is equal interest in
the same event for grade school boys, and
the records of one or two of the younger
athletes are but-a trifle worse in actual
distance. than those of their older broth
ers. Mead Of Twining school, White and
Mix of Morgan, Schneider of Smallwood,
Hoge of Hyde, and Warren of Webster
seem to be the most likely candidates for
hOnOrS.
The Carlisle Indian relay team has been
matched against Wesleyan University for
a one-mile race on the evening program.
Wesleyan will have practically the same
team which two years ago In the George
town games ran one OF the fastest races
which has been run in the District. Be-
sides the relay team Wesleyan will have
cap and invitation, and Hastings in the
handicap sprint.
Six members of the 1st Virginia Regi-
ment OF Infantry, generally known as the
Richmond Grays, will compete in the

TALK WITH SCHAEFER.
Tells St, Louis Reporter That Ma
tionals Will Do Well.
.om the ST. Louis lines.

From the ST. Louis Times
Germany Schaefer. the former Tiger
second baseman. who is now a member of
Jim McAleer's Washington squad, stopped
off in St. Louis Friday on his way to Hot
Springs. where he intends 10 remain three
weeks before joining the Nationals in
Norfolk. Va. Schaefer talks as though
he's satisfied with the swap which landed
him In Taftville. and says some nice
things about McAleer and the Washing
ton team
Nationals this season." said Schaefer to
the Times. Sure. he's got some good
Youngsters. How about Elberfeld, Conroy
and Schaefer?" he asked in his kidding
way.
LAS for Conroy he should come ba ok
strong. Any ball player is apt to have an
off season. The Widow had his last
year, and l look for him to shine. George
Browne showed last season that he Is far
from being all in. Then l never could un-
derstand why Boston let go of Gessler.
Our pitching staff is sweet McAleer
certainly has got some swell twirlers.
This fellow Bert Groom of Believille
would be corker if he could master con-
ness.

They'll smash any infield to pieces. You
just can't stop that pair.

Still, these outfits may blow at any time
and some of the other teams may furnish
the interesting sc.apping for the Tigers
II saw all the games beween the Tigers
and Pirates. II the Detroit crowd had any
luck it would have won the series. Still, I
must say that something was wrong with
my old team mates in that first game.
Davy Jones. first up against Adams, got
four wide ones that he couldn't have
reached with a fishing pole.
Babe was clearly up in the air. Then
Bush. instead of waiting and worrying the
big RUDE, hunted. That gave Adams a
chance to come back to earth, and he GER
tainIy took advantage of It. To me II
didn't appear that he had a whole lot OF
stuff in the first two games. In the third,
though. he pitched corkins fine article
of ball.
Lots of people ask me why Cobb never
hits in the big show. He stung quite few
against Pittsburg, but only got a couple
OF them safe. In one game, with two on

STAR PITCHERS ON
THE HOLD;OUT LIST
Camnitz and Brown Have
Been Big Factors in Help
ing to Win Pennants.
By William G.. Weart.

The millennium has not yet been reach
ed in base ball, SO that it is only to be ex-
pected that some players should be hold
ing out for more money. Two OF the
most famous pitchers in the country are
among those who refuse to come TO
terms, they being Camnitz of Pittsburg
and Mordecai, Three-hngered,
Brown of the Chicago Nationals.
Both of these pitchers are mighty valu-
able assets to their teams. Brown mas
figured largely in helping to win pen
nants for the Cubs, while Camnitz was
at the top of the Nationals pitchers last
year. Indeed, it was Camnitz's success
in having a long string Of consecutive
victories last spring that enabled the
Pirates to jump to the front and get such
a lead that the Cubs rush at the close
amounted to nothing.
An attack of tonsilitis, however, pre-
vented Camnitz from being OF any worth
to the Pirates in the worlds series, and
Manager Clarke of Pittsburg came in for
considerable censure> for using tilis
twirier at all during the contests with
Detroit, as 1t was known that he was In
a weakened condition from his illness.
Brown Is a Marvel.
Both Camnitz and Brown demand more
money, while the latter insists that the
clause prohibiting him from playing in
certain sports after the close of the base
ball season shall be stricken out of his
contract
Considering the fact that he is minus a
part OF the first and second fingers of his
pitching hand. MoFdecai Brown is a
twirling marvel. Time after time he has
outpitched Mathewson and other great
twirlers, and it was Browns work In
in New York at the close of the 1908
season, when Pfeister was knocked off the
rubber. that enabled the Cubs to win
that game and clinch the pennant
According to men who have seen thou
sands of championship games. including
such umpires as Hank O'Day, Silk
O'Loughlin. Bob Emslie, Billy KLEIN and
greatest play in the history of base ball.
This was in the worlds series between
Chicago and Detroit in 1908.
Chicago had won the first two games OF
the series and Detroit the third. The lat
ter game was played at Chicago. On the
way to Detroit that night the Tigers and
their followers were jubilant. For the
first time in two years they had beaten
the Cubs. and they saw visions of the
worlds championship.
The fourth game at Detroit began with
both teams on their toes, with Summers
pitching for Detroit and Brown for chi
cago. The Cubs got lead of to Q in
the third inning. O'Leary of Detroit led
of in the fourth inning with single,
and Crawford followed with another safe
drive. This brought the mighty Cobb up.
What followed made the most hardened
veteran of base ball fairly gasp with as

The Earljest lotteries.

The lotteries are generally said
to have had their origin in Italy,
but in Grove and Cayalcaselle's
'sEarly Flemish Painters" reference
is made to a lottery drawn at
Bruges on Feb. "a, 1446 (1445 old
style). This is the earliest of
which the scheme, list of prizes
and accounts are known to be in
existence. In 1880 lottery was
drawn in Florence, the object being
to meet the state expenses. Nine
years afterward they were legalized
in France by Francis |. and called
"blanques. +" The lotteries instituted
at Paris by the Duke d'Invernois
in 1872 and 1873 were for provid-
ing marriage portions for the young
women belonging to his estate.
The first lottery known in Eng
land was drawn at the west door Of
st. Paul's cathedral in 1869 The
amount was 100000, which in those
days was very considerable. 1t con-
sisted Of 100000 tickets at 10 shil-

speculation were to be appropriated

FADING THE PAPER.
Cause Of the Delay In Repairing the
Torn Place on the Wall.

Right alongside the door open
ing into our apartment from the
public hall on our hoor," said city
cliff dweller, "there was bare
spot on the wall The wall paper
there had come loose and curlcd up,
and then the first boy that came
along had just naturally got his
fingers under the edge Of the curlcd
up paper and torn it off back to
where the paste still held, leaving
on the wall an irregular blank space
about foot and a half long by six
inches broad in the widest part.
"Of course this didn't look very
nice staring at us every time we
went in and out, and we asked the
superintendent to fix it, as we knew
he could and would. He always
keeps a spare roll or two of paper
for use in case of emergencies. and
he looks after the house in great
shape But when ten days later the
paper had not been repaired we
venturcd TO speak about it again. TO
learn then that the bare space had
not vet been covered for the reason
that he was fading the paper for it
and it was not quite ready.
''l'hc wall paper has been on
about ten months, and we live high
enough up so that in the public
hall on our floor it gets strong
light and had become somewhat
faded. To put on patch of this
paper of its original color would
have been like patching white with
black. so far as contrast was con-
ccrned, and so the boss had had a
piece from an original roll out in
the sun, fading it to match.
ssTwo days later he covered that
blank space on the wall with patch
of new paper that matched in with
the pattern of the surrounding pa
per perfectly, while in color it
matched very we'll. 4 month under
the light that comes into the hall
will make ii all right. But that
fading the paper was something
new to us. New York Sun.
