An Interruption.

Among the primary pupils enrolled
in a Baltimore school this term is the
son Of a prominent business man of
that city.
One afternoon. at close of school. the
youngster sought out his father in his
office, to whom he said:
Dad, I'm getting tired of school. |
think I'll quit
Why" asked the %astonished par
ent; what's the matter, Tommy? |
thought you were fond of going to
school"
so | am, dad" responded the young
ster, suppressing a yawn. but it
breaks up the day so."-Harper's Mag

Mitchell Studies the Game,

The Maps never had a man more
willing TO learn the game than Willie
Mitchell, who Jim Mcclure is conf
dent will develop into one of the best
left-hand pitchers in the country.
Willie only left school a year ago, and
his two months experience in the
Texas league didn't give him enough
time to get hep TO all the many fine
points OF the game. He spends con
siderable time every day studying a
rule book. He reads the records of
the work of making himself letter per,
fec in the rules.

Too Lavish.

Mrs. Dobbs was trying to find out
the likes and dislikes of her new board
er. and all she learned increased her
satisfaction.
DO you want pie for breakfast?' she
asked.
NO, | thank you said the new
boarder. with a smile. Pie for break
fast seems a little TOO much"
That's just the way | look at it,
said Mrs. Dobbs, heartily. II say pie
for dinner is a necessity. and pie for
supper gives a kind O finishing touch
to the day; but pie for breakfast is
what | call putting on airs.'-YOuth's

Shows Value of Steel Car.

That the steel car is of great value
as a protection to passengers in the
event of collision was demonstrated
in a recent clash of two trains in
the Hudson tunnel, New York city.
There was no such telescOping as
would probably have occurred with
wooden cars, and the injuries were
merely such as resulted from the pas
sengers' being thrown down by the
shock Of the collision.

Cubs Boss ESCAPES Fine.

The national baseball commission
has decided that the owner of the Chi
cago Cubs need not pay the 5000 fine
assessed for sending a contract to
Johnny King while the catcher was
under suspension. The commission
decided that it would not be fair to
punish Mr.. Murphy, as it was neces-
sary for him to send the contract in
order to hold the player. whose old
contract had expired.

MATHEWS0n NEAR THIRD
NO-H|T N0-RUN GAME
SCRATCH BINGLE AND AN ERROR
PREVENTS NEW RECORD
GOSSIP OF THE DIAMOND.

THERE'S a fellow pitching for the
New York Giants named Mathew
son. Wherever baseball is known the
name Of Mathewson is known. Gener-
ally the fans call him "Matty.' Some
times you hear him spoken of as big
Six" He's some pitcher, this Mathew
son, as every player in the National
league, except Joe Tinker. the Cubs
shOrtstop. will admit. Joe no doubt
agrees iAat Mathewson can twirl
some, 1At he has. in seasons gone by.
shown that he had no fear of Chrlsty.
In tact. Joe has had a hard time hit
tina sOme OF the weak pitchers. II
he could land on "Matty's' ~fadeaway
or his fastest shoots without much
trouble Joe won a championship Tor
Chicago by swatting one Of Bis Six s
curves for two bags in 1908.
Anyway Mathewson has it on the
best in the National league and it is
doubtful if there are any in the Amer
lean who is as good. which comes
pretty near saying that he is the
greatest pitcher in the business. Lots
of people wouldn't dispute this state
ment. but some might, so well let 1t
go with the qualifications attached.
Manager McGraw took his boys
across the Brooklyn bridge "A few
days ago to play the Dodgers, now un'
der the guiding hand OF one Bin
Dahlen. McGraw wanted to stay at
the top of the list so he sent Mathew
son to the slab. Blk Six right there
came near SCATTERING all records. lie
already has two no-hit no-run games
to his credit and it looked like he
was going to make it three when Nc
Elyeen got a scratch that spoiled the
record. Devlin made a wonderful one
hand stop Of the ball but threw low
while off his balance and now Mathew
son will have to wait until he can
claim the honor of three no-hit games.
On July Is, 1901, Mathewson shut out
st. Louis without a hit. On June -,
1905, he did the same thing to the Chi
cage boys. 1t just goes to show that
"Matty" hasn't lost his cunning and
he will be as dangerous this year as
ever.

All the old-time ball players were
sorry to hear Of the death of Tom
Lotus and many were the stories
told about him. "He was manager OF
the Chicago team when played
there" said Bradley. "One day in a
close gam at the West Side park,
Hans Wagner, who was not in the
lineup that afternoon, was sent up TO
bat for the pitcher of the visiting
team. Lotus, who was sitting on the
bench, began laughing so uproarious-
~ that play was temporarily sus'
pended. What's the matter, Tom"
somebody asked. oh, said Lotus,
this is too funny. Think of sending
a Dutchman to bat in al emergency!
Then everybody laughed and Wagner
was so mad that he struck out
which. of course, was just what LOTUS
was trying to get him to do"

After holding out for a year. Danny
Sheehan, who used to play third FOR
the South Bend club. is back in the
Central league and Bert Annis has as
signed him to Grand Rapids. BY not
reporting to the South Bend team last
season, Daniel made room for "Runt
Walsh, who used the Benders as a
stepping.stone into the National
league. Down in Philadelphia they
think a good deal of "Runt.' and it
would not be surprising to see Charley
Doom use him in the regular lineup
before the season is far advanced.

Ed Walsh says Boston is the best
place in the major league circuit for
a travelling team. II may be wrong,
but to my way of thinking Boston is
the fountain center Of all the base
ball observation-disclosures in the world,
says Walsh. Il Think may be mis-
taken-but | think that ! have won
16 out of the last II games | have
pitched against the Red SoX on their
grounds. But I remember that in the
one game | lost | was cheered so hard
that | was deeply ashamed to lose
the game. The fans were with me
simply because ! had been successful
against their team as a rule. One
never hears in Boston a lot Of fans
swapping and snarling over the failure
of their team to win a game. Down
there they go to the ball park to see
a game: not necessarily to see the
home team win"
