mump,sv Joke on Himself.

Umpire Guthrie of the American as sociation tells a good story on him self. When I was youngster thought I could fight" said the umps q had whipped a few of the town boys and the promoter of fights want ed me to enter the professional ranks, which suited me exactly. One day he asked me to meet him and fix up the match We talked the matter over and I sized up my opponent pretty well. Then the weight question came up. The other fellow said he wanted to fight at catch weights. How can make catch weights?" said l. q work every day and cannot afford to quit"

 Nfnety-nine and fifteen-sixteenths of baseball is courage and nerve. It is more than that-it is what ball play CTS call "guts"-which Is courage with aggressive confidence behind 1t, and any player who has that sort of con fident courage is good ball player and winning one, even if he boots half a dozen balls a day.
 The best system of winning games is to tell the other fellow that you are going to beat him. Tell it to him be- fore the game starts and tell him in a way that will convince him. You cannot convince him unless you be- lieve it yourself. keep telling them all the time, and l believe it myself until the game is over and sometimes even then.

 HITlESS RUNLESS GAME
INDIAN TWiRLER scALPs THE CLEVELAND PLAYERS-oTHER
 NO HIT, NO RUN MEN.

MYTH a warwhoop that could be w heard all over the American league stamping grounds and echoed through the camps of the National league warriors, Big Chief" Bender of the Philadelphia Athletics unsheathed his tomahawk and scalping knife a few days ago and before he was through with his awful massacre the Cleveland Maps were tortured and slain.
 All but one of the Maps died three times under the tomahawk. Bender tied them all securely to the stake ex- cept Turner, who managed to slip the buckskin thongs and get to first base. Then when he tried to escape Rene gades Thomas and Collins of Connie Mack's band captured him and added him to the list of dead.

Taft's Tribute to Baseball.

When the rule was made that all players should be uniformed, Wagner sat on the side lines until Robb drove out a homer. The big

 The average number of hits he has allowed per game is less than three, and his average strike-outs around the 15 notch.
 Of course Mitchell hasn't been pitching against any Hans Wagners. Fred Clarkes, Tommy Leaches or oth. CT such sluggers, and the fans waited to see him in action against the mighty hitters of the National league before they took that 1900 strike out record into consideration. If Mitchell can keep any way near that notch as Cub, Chance will have one of the greatest finds in baseball.

There is an element in basepah which is not on the surface, ana WHICH players, spectators, lovers Of the game and often managers themselves, do not realize or understand. This ele- ment is pace.
 Pace Is what decides pennant races. The team that is fast enough, well conditioned enough and smart enough to set the pace, and force the other clubs to play at top speed all the time to hold in the race, is the pennant winning team, unless it cuts out too fast a pace and breaks itself. In

No manager can make baseball team win, or tell how to win. If a fellow is going to cut any ice he needs ice picks, and the first way for man ager to win is to get men who can de liver, and men of intelligence enough to take care of themselves.

 It was awful say the war core spondents, to see such mighty scouts as Lajoie, Flick, Turner ct al, step up to the plate with war club in hand and try to hit the ball as it sped with the swiftness of an arrow into the catcher's mitt
 Bender has pitched some wonderful games before, but this is his first no- hit-no-run achievement.

There is nothing unusual in the
finding of skeletons in grading
operations in the bluffs on which this
city is located, and a number of such
mementoes of the first residents
along the Missouri bluffs have been
found in the past weak. One which
was dug up Saturday near the opera
house. while an alley was being
graded was found in conditions which
indicate that theindividual was above
the ordinary of it's time. The bones
swere laid with loose wall of small
boulders, and on taking them out it
was found that there were green
mentallic stains on the jaws and other
parts Of the SKELETON. A search Of
the location brought to light number
of copper rings, which had evidently
been hammered out crudely by one
of Indians who occupied this country
before the coming of the Sioux, and
who were. skillful in the making of
pottery and the working in stone and
metals. The copper ornaments and
the placing of the stones about the
body would indicate that one of the
chiefs of the tribe was probably
buried at that place.

that he was misrepresented in pub
llished interviews, and we are not dis
posed, therefore, to make much OF the
latest of his apparent indiscretions.
But we dc feel moved to say that, no
matter how grossly he may have been
misrepresented, the anti-Ballinger
sentiment Of the country is a fact that
has immense political significance for
the Taft administration. Whether
he is an arch-plotter of evilor the in
nocent victim of conspiracy, the sec
rotary is now heavy lead to carry.
He can best serve the president who
has been so loyal to him by resigaing
from the cabinet and relieving him of

Where is there the slightest difference
between the policy which Roosevelt

cy which the insurgent members of

Yet Speaker Cannon, Vice President

WHEN ALL FLY.

If the airship really becomes prac-
tical means of travelit will revolution
ize our life as greatly as did the railroad
seventy-five years ago. Our way OF
getting about was changed mainly as
to speed when the bicycle and motorcy-
Gle were added to the horse, and the
railroad and the automobile were added
to the coach and carriage. The steam
ship is just an improvement over the
sailship. We still leave our houses by
the front door, travel certain line
route to another front door, as we did
at the dawn of civilization. The solid
earth has always been beneath US, and
the green fields on both sides.
But flying is not the extension OF
known line of progress, as all other I'M
provements in transportation have been.
It is an entirely new line. The only
record we have of flying in history is
the stant of Daedalus, the Greek sculp-
tor, who pasted wings on the arms Of
himself and son Icarus to make their
getaway from their boss, King Minos
of crete. Daedalus got to Italy all
right, but Icarus flew too high, as NOR
tails had a way of doing. and the jealous
sun god melted his wings. And this
may not be true history.
Since it is an altogether new line of
progress, we have no way of knowing
that the airship is to become practical
necessity, and not dangerous luxury.
But if it does become an everyday affair,
it will make some startling changes in
our daily living.
