INSTINCT OF THE REALIsT
Writer Wanted Game Played to tho
Limit, Without Departure
From ProprietIes.

A story about Robert Louis Steven
son not generally known is told by
Mrs. Stevenson's grandson, Austin
Strong. When Mr.. Strong was little
chap Mr.. Stevenson liked to sit
propped up in bed to watch him at
play in tho next room And often it
happened that the bigger boy of the
two would make suggestions for the
make-believe games and insist that
they be carried on, too. One day Aus
tin had arranged some chairs in row.
playing that they were ships. and he,
standing on the front was the cap
tain. For long time he proudly
walked the deck of mis- vessel, en-
countered pirates and weathered all
kinds Of storms until he felt the floor
positively heave under his feet. Mr..
Stevenson looked on In perfect al
lence. but complete absorption, no
doubt playing the whole thing much
the harder of the two. Finally Austin
got tired Of his vessel. climbed off his
chair and began walking across the
room to some object which had at
tracted his interest This was too
much for his uncle. Still deep in the
game, Mr.. Stevenson rose in his sick
bed and shouted excitedly at the re
calcitrant SEE captain: Swim, d.
you; swim!"

THE UMPIRE.

Did You Ever Hear the Fans Cheer
Him For His Work?
There is one unique phase connected
with the life Of the umpire which per-
haps has never occurred to most low
ers Of baseball. You have often been
to theater and seen the hero or hero
ine-yes, even the villain-win round
after round of applause for some ex-
cellent bit of acting.
You have been to a football game
and heard some ball gladiator cheered
to the echo for making long run that
ing tackle that prevented imminent
defeat. When some player is injured
they convey their sympathy to him by
cheering his name.
You have been to a ball game and
heard the fans cheer some crack
pitcher because in pinch he famed
some mighty batter. It's just the nat
ural way Of the American to show ad-
miration and appreciation.
Rack your brain. think your hard

attended, then see If you can remem-
Der time when the umpire drew APP
plause for his work. Have you ever
heard the fans cheer the name Of the
umpire after he has worked fifteen
inning game which fairly bristled with
close and unusual plays and got away
without kick? II you can recall such
an incident. just dot it down in your
notebook that you were present at a
very, very unusual happening.
Do they cheer the umpire's name
when he stops foul tip with his shin
or has swift shoot bounced off his
mask? Yes, they do-not. Any injury
to the umpire usually gets round OF
derisive laughter from the crowd
Generally, If he has been going bad

quests that he be killed or chloroform.

In the stands who sympathize with the

THE TELESCOPE.
Callers Rude instrument the First
Used In Astronomy,

used In Astronomy.
The first telescope was pointed to-
ward the sky on Jan. Z, 1910, when
Galilei first tried his rude instrument
and was rewarded by discovering some
Of the moons of Jupiter. No great
magnifying power was needed for this,
as at least one Of the moons is large
enough to be seen by the naked eye
did not the nearness OF the brilliant
planet prevent this. Lenses had been
known for a long time and were at
that time In common use by near
sighted persons.
The name Of the real discoverer OF
the telescope seems to be unknown,
but the accepted story now is that
two young sons OF Middebury OPP
tician named Lippersley some time
between 1905 and 1908, while playing
with some lenses, happened to hold
two of them at distance from eacn
other and were surprised and delight
ed to find that the weather vane on
neighboring tower seemed to come
near them when looked at through the
two lenses. In April, 1909, littie
telescope made In Holland was offered
for sale in Paris.
The next month Galilei, then a pro-
lessor In the university at Padua,
heard Of this instrument and realized
at once Its Importance in the study 0.

Manager Egan and will report short

agreement provides that when man
is drafted and is returned to the
league from which he was taken the

have his services for the draft price
Therefore, if Manager Connors hands

of course, will not play with Ottun+

will consider him worth $500.
Last winter gentleman by the
name of Burton organized a new
league which is known as the North

give Jacksonville league ball, in
spite of the fact that it lost out in
the Central association. He sue

making up a circuit and got the thing
going after a bunch OF trials and tribu-
lations that stand unique in the his
tory OF base ball. Of course, he was
elected as president of the new league
and has since had his hands full. A

was no longer qualified TO hold mem.

franchise away from thrt town. He
