Paris. March 12-About 25GOO so-caIled
noble families in France would be serl-
ously embarrassed were they asked to
produce their patent Of nobility. writes
Baron du Rowe de Paulin in the Paris
Revue. The number of bearers of spuri-
Gus French titles. according TO the baron.
is enormous
After exhaustive genealogical investiga-
tons. he comes to the conclusion that
while there are to-day 70eOO noble fami-
lies in France. there existed before the
revolution only $1,000 noble houses. and
since then no more than 1900 new names
have been legltimately added
1t is astonishing how many inustrious
French names have disappeared during
the nineteenth century. The Oldest French
nobility traces back 10 the Crusaders, of
whom 6,O00 bore French names and es-
euteheons. To-day hardly 400 French
families can boast with more or less jus
titication Of a Crusader ancestor.
Traces Genuine Descent.
One single French family. the ancient
house of Saunhac, traces genuine direct
descent from William of that name, who
was grand master of the Order of the
Templars and was killed in the battle OF
Mansurah in 1919 OF the half dozen pre-
mier dukes and peers of France who took
preeendence over all others no descend
ants now exist. At the time Of the French
revolution there existed thirty-nine dukes
who ranked as peers of France and
forty-one others, but of all these only
twenty-three are left.
Other noble families whose heads were
direct grand vassals of the French kings
have all but died out. A notable exeep-
ton Is the house of de la Tour d'Au-
vergne, always prolific in producing great
men. among others the famous Marshal
Turenne.
There are still descendants living of
the illustrious house OF Lusignan and
also legitimate bearers Of the names of
Guise and Richelieu, but the Colignys,
the Montmorencys. and the Mazarins
among others. have all died out
Heroes of Revolution.
The writer has also traced the down
ward pedigrees of other famous French
men. Nothing is left now of the families
of Racine. Moliere, Montaigne, Rabelais,
Boileau. and Saint-Simon. Only Beau
marchais and CorneHle have stin de-
scendants living. Not a single trace is
left of the heroes of the revolution ex-
eept in the person of the woman novelist,
"Gyp," who is descended from Mira
beau's brother, Mirabeau-Tonneau.
Napoleon created kings, l viceroy. 7
princes, 3 grand dukes, and 80 dukes, but
of all their splendor only 70 ducal names
remain to-day.

known from the gulf to the

manager of the Point Pleasant team,
and played in all the games of the
series here, Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday, and in Mondays game
got two hits, one triple, and play

length of the league with his thir-
teen athletic sons of swat in eonsort,

tnat many sons, of whom he was 50
proud that he was on the way to
Washington to show them to Teddy.
On the diamond Mack is hailed with
such epithets as Old Nan Gramp,"
Grand Old Man, Foxy Grandpa, but
he takes it all in good humor.
Mack has played in practically all,
the leagues in the country, major
and minor. He was with Louisville,
Toledo and Kansas City of the
American Association, Buffalo in the
New York State League; Baltimore,
in the Eastern League, and played
1--WE years in san Francisco, both win
ter and summer. He also had a
chance 10 tour Europe long ago with
a bunch of transformers, but turned
the chance down and played through
the Antilles instead. This is only
mere outline of his wonderful
career on the diamond, the whole
story would fill a good sized volume.

career began, and he is still playing.
