Strong Points of Cubs

Each club has its strong points. The

team has no superiors. The catching

the Cubs have the courage born of
confidence. They have been winners
in the worlds series and feel like win

powerful factor in their favor. In the

lnfields of Two Clubs Are
of StonewaIl Variety.

Both have crack infelds. Chance,
Evers, Tinker and Steinfeldt form q
tried and reliable quartet that was
good enough to pilot Chicago to two
worlds championships and four PEN
nants. In fielding, batting and gen.
eralship the four men are superb. The
Athletics infield is not as old as Chi
cago's, but the four men nave been as
ISOLATED with each other long enough
to work together with precision and
harmony. 1t is a wonderful infeld In
every way, the very best in the Ameri-
can league.
Now let's look 'em over. Chance is
a better fielder than Davis, but at that
there are few that have anything on
the Philadelphia first baseman. At
second both teams have stars, Evers
and Collins being the twinklers. The
latter will outhit the Trojan, or at
least ought to do so, and probably will
field just as well as the boot and shoe
merchant from Troy. At short the
Cubs have the advantage. Tinker is
Barry's superior as fielder and as q
long hitter but the Holy Cross boy is
a clever performer nevertheless and
in short series might play every bit
as well as Overs side partner.
Baker Of the Athletics is Steinfeldts
superior both In batting and fielding.
The Marylander is much younger than
his Chicago rival, and youth must be
served. b. rker is not the finished field
er that Steinfeldt is, but turns more
sensationa' plays. Baker is terribly
hard hitter and is more likely to break
up game than is the Texan.

Emmst's Presence of Mind,

A story is told of Robert Emmett
which proves his secretive power and
resolution. He was fond of studying
chemistry, and one night late, after
the family had gone to bed, he swal-
lowed a large quantity of corrosive
sublimate in mistake for some acid
cooling powder. He Immediately dis.
covered his mistake and knew that
death must shortly ensue unless he in.
stantly swallowed the only antidote,
chalk. Timid men would have torn at
the bell, reused all the family and sent
for a stomach pump. Emmett called no
one, made no noise, but, stealing down
stairs and unlocking the front door,
went into the stable, scraped some
chalk which he knew to be there and
took sufficient doses of it to neutralize
the poison.

In leadership of the two teams there
is no apparent advantage one way or
the other. Mack possesses quite as
much acumen as Chance.
The only one big advantage the Ath-
letics have over the Cubs is In the
pitching department. The Chicago
team has the better backstops, their
in6eld has a shade on the Philadelphia
quartet, and the Cubs suburban trio
outcIass the Mack men. The Chicago
twirllng staff is not weak by any
means, and no doubt Manager Chance
will have his pitchers in fine fettle by
the time the series starts so they will
be able to twirl frst class ball. Con
sidering that the Cubs have these three
great advantages over the Athletics,
also figuring. t'n. that they have been
so long toge that in harmony of
effort and mulual understanding they

AMBASSADORS.
They Enjoy Some Curious Privileges
at EUROPEAN Courts.

They Enjoy Some Curious Privileges
at European Courts.
In the popular mind--the American
mind at least--there is very little diff
ference between an ambassador and a
minister, but the former is entitled to
very many privileges abroad that are
denied to mere envoy.
For instance, one curious privilege Of
an ambassador is that he, and he
alone when dismissed, may turn his
back to the sovereign to whose court
he is accredited. The mode of pro-
cedure, generally speaking, is as fol-
lows:
When the audience is at an end the
ambassador waits to be dismissed by
the sovereign. When dismissed the
ambassador bows, retires three PAGES.
bows again, retires three PAGES, bows
a third time, turns on his heels and
walks to the folding doors. But when
the reigning sovereign is woman
still politer methods obtain. To turn
his back would be discourteous; to
walk backward would be to resign a
privilege; therefore the ambassador re-
tires sideways like crab, He keeps
one eye on the sovereign and with the
other he endeavors to find the door.
By this unique means he contrives to
evince all poiteness to the sovereign
and at the same time retain one of his
privileges.
Another privilege Of ambassadors is
the right Of being ushered into the
royal presence through folding doors,
both Of which must be flung wide for
him. No one save an ambassador can
claim this privilege, the most any non
ambassadorial individual can expect is
that one Of the doors shall be opened
to him.
One privilege appertaining to the
ambassador, one capable of causing
great inconvenience to the ruler, is the
right Of demanding admission to the
sovereign at any hour Of day or night.
This was one of the reasons why
<Apuul Will VI
opposed the raising of our mission at
Constantinople to an embassy. 1t was
decidedly inconvenient at times to see
the American representative at all.
TO the European the most important
feature Of the ambassadors makeup
is his sword. There the blade of the
sword is rapier blade with the point
blunted. 1t has been facetiousy OBJ
served abroad that the use the sword
is put to in addition to its trick of
tripping up its wearer is usually the
harmless one of poking fires. One di-
plomatist was said to file his bills on
his sword when it was not otherwise
engaged, and for a long while it was
a standing witticism of the corps dip
lomatique In Europe that the Russian
ambassadors used their swords to file
broken treaties, a circumstance that
was held to account for the inordinate
length of their weapons.--H -Harper's
Weekly.

The lecture given at the Congrega-
tional church last night by DR.. McCor-

city before) that the citizens of Vinita
have ever had the opportunity of lis
tening to. About one hundred and
fifty persons we're present and con-
sidering the other attractions in the

is considered a splendid compliment to
the lecturer. All who attended were
pleased with the lecture and agree that
DR.. Mccormack is championing a
cause that will soon be recognized by
the people of the whole nation.
While DR.. Mccormack devoted con
siderable time to the relation of the
doctor to the people, it was evident
that the real import of his talk was for
the purpose Of creating national
board of health with the powers of
any other cabinet office, and to have
general supervision over sanitary con
ditions throughout the country
In opening his address DIR. McCor-
mack said: "The greatest asset of
any nation, its most important re-
source to be considered, is that repre-
scented in its vigorous population, its
children. women and men. In fact,
farms. mines, forests, factories and
similar things called wealth, have lit
tie more than an abstract value, ex-
cept as there is such population to
operate and enjoy them. The drain
upon this asset in this country from
diseases now known to be preventable
and as a result of vicious and immoral
living, is estimated at more than one
thind of the entire sick and death rate
every year. The recognition Of this
drain and its causes, and compare
