no obstante los esflerzos que para

comision de puertorriquehos que
fue 4 Washington, que ese punto de
vista de el caso de P. Rico, Sc plan

showed remarkable knowledge Of
the individual exploits Of the various
players.
Arson, hero of battles for years on
the diamond, was introduced to the
president, who shook him warmly by
the hand. He was introduced to Au-
gust Hermann, the chairman of the
national commission, one of the s'chief
justices Of the supreme court Of base
ball;'' to John A. Heydler, president Of
the National league and also member
Of the national commission, and to
others who are famous by their con-
nection with the national game. Mr..
Heydler was invited to join the presi-
1ent's party and was frequently con-
suited by the president regarding vari-
GUS plays and decisions.
During critical stage of the game
the president turned quickly to Heyd-
Ter and said:
''Look there! Chance is playing too
far off the sack"

Country's Greatest Ball Player.
Among the names Of diamond heroes
mentioned that Of Hans Wagner, the
Pittsburg shortsop, who has outstrip-
ped Lajoie and Cobb in the race for
the individual premiership Of the dia-
mond. Some marvellous statistics are
revealed by diagnosis Of the record
Of Wagner, who has been playing ma
jor league baseball since 1897. The
records show that in thirteen years
the Flying Dutchman' has taken part
in 1,743 games. He has scored 1853
runs and 56S stolen bases. He has
played an average Of 1874 games each
season.
Had Wagner played in all the games
the first year he Joined the Louisville
club his average would have been
more than 100 runs each season, but
in 1897 he was not obtained from the
Paterson On. j. club until the cam
paign was well under way and took
part in only sixty-seven games.
Hans has never had lasting slump
in his hitting in all the years of his
career. There have been times each
season when his batting eye was dim
med, but it was only temporarily, and
he always came back and hit the ball
so much harder after the slump was
over. His consistency as a sticker is
shown by the fact that in thirteen
years he has averaged virtually 1870
singles per season. His best years
were 1900 and 1908, in each of which
he made POI safeties. With the ex-
ception of his first year in fast COM
pany he has never made less than 10
hits a year.
Wagner has been just as consistent
on the bases as at the bat He has
purloined an average of about forty
four bases every year. His best sea-
son at sack thievery was in 1907, when
he stole sixty-one.
Last year was the poorest he has
had since 1898, but can be partially
accounted for by the fact that Hans
was under orders to save his strength
as much as possible and to take no
unnecessary chances.
Origin and End Both Uncertain.
Both the origin and end Of baseball
are matters of doubt. Just as soon as
somebody proves that the game came
from England somebody else demon
strates that it originated in this coun-
try as a granddaughter Of the old
game Of zone old cat," and a week
later another searcher produces aft
davits that the Indian tribes of the

LET me sit with the FANS
Thus spoke the president of the
United States last fall when he was
present at ball game at Chicago
between the New York and Windy
City National league teams. 1t was
presidents day" at the baseball
park President Taft, hearing that
Christy Mathewson Of New York and
Mordecai Brown of Chicago were to
be pitted against each other in sen
sational battle in the race for league
honors, neglected many pressing en-
gagements in the Windy City and pro-
ceeded direct to the diamond.
He brushed aside the suggestion that
he occupy the box reserved for his
party and stated emphatically: "Let
me sit with the fans I want to really
enjoy the game"
he walked through the crowd, greet
ed on every side by cries of welcome
and was escorted to the field, where
the players of both teams were quick
1y assembled and introduced to him
one by one in person. There was q
handshake for every man who was tt

oHRIsTY MATHEwsoN, GREATEST PITCHER
IN BASEBALL TODAY.
Hurons, Cherokees, Senecas, Sioux,
Objibways, Mohawks, Sem1noles, Crees
and Comanches played the game orig
inally with a ball made of roughly
sewn deerskin.
The Indian tribes used to have teams
that played those of their rival tribes.
Wagers were heavy.
So far as the Cherokees were con-
cerned, they had several songs of bal
lad style relating the prizes their ath-
letes would win in their contests with
other aborigines. One Of these songs,
replete with such words as "h'gana-
yua,' ''higanuyahi," 'tsakwili-tega,''
"uwatutsuhi, ''tsitukatasuni," ''ige-
skiyu," ''hu,' etc., may be translated
into English as follows:
What fine horse shall win!
I shall win PAGER!
I shall be riding PAGER!
I'm going to win pretty one!
A stallion for me to ride
What a pretty one shall win!
What a pretty one I shall ride!
How proud I'll feel when riding him!
I'm going to win stallion-hu!
And am positive that no one could
resist the beauties of the Indian base
ball song entitled ''Yo Wi Danuwe,''
even though it lacked the "hu.''
So there you are.
AS all three theories as to the origin
of the game are shown by authorities
to be absolutely true. you can argue
for or against all three and be both
right and wrong at the same time.
What better opportunity for a wrangle
could any life sized fan desire?
But the foregoing has to do only
with the doubtful origin of baseball.
What about the end?
The end, did some one say? There
is an old European legend which goes,
"See Naples and die"
Verify, he who can prophecy that he
will one day see an end to "the sport
Of presidents should share like fate.

Surely when the chief executive of
the United States shows such interest
in and knowledge of the pastime there
is no reason to be amazed at the al
most hysterical fondness shown for
baseball by most Of the American ma
ton. We will allow horse racing to

Heroes and hero worshipers are the

SAYS NEGRO'S BRAIN
Is NOT INFERIOR

"There is no evidence of the in
feriority of the black race to that of
the white,n declared Professor Franz
Boas, of the chair of anthropology at
Columbia University, speaking to two
hundred negroes at the West Fifty-third
street branch of the Colored Y. NJ. G. A.
Anatomical characteristics show
that all are alike he continued. ''The
brains of the white man average slight
~ larger than those of the negro, but
ninety per cent of tine brains of the
negro is the same as ninety per cent of
the brain of the white man. The weight
of the brains of white women is less
than that of the negro. We are only
justified in saying that there is the
same relation between brain and weight
and ability.
"'But,' said Professor Boas, elf a
negro feels that he is lacking in social
opportunity he does not meet the prob
lem of the times. He must recognize
that prejudiees cannot be met except by
achievements. Distrust still exists and
the anatomical basis is of little value.
