Several mil lion words of public speaking have been turned out by the President in week. when he is in Washington. the President attends the theatre. Often he first takes in the play, and after wards hurries away to some other function, a dinner, dance. Is it strange that the luxuriant mustaches that hides-or reveals-the famous Taft smile is growing gray2
 Probably no other President ever put the physical effort into gadding about that Taft does. Certainly he holds the record for continuous perform ances. Three engagements in an ev- ening with two speeches to deliver is no uncommon thing for him,
 Besides all this, President Taft does a real days work every day.

 All this is wearing down the avoir-

 To them the present program means work almost without end Hundreds Of petty details must be attended to every time the President goes to the theatre or takes a walk, and it is up to the quiet complacent walking ar sena to do the work. Just now they are thinking fondly of the luxurious Roosevelt days. when hard work con sisted of a 15 or 20 mile walk through a rain storm, or a 90 mile horseback trot, and it did not involve six nights a week of social functioning.

Fred Miller Has a Chance to Be-

i Fred Miller. a resident of the North End, who has played considerably with the Island Brook and North End baseball teams and who was to play with the Newfie1ds this season has re- ceived a contract from the Providence club of the United States baseball lea que ,an outlaw organization. He is doubtful about signing the papers, as he does not quite understand one of the articles of agreement in the con- tract. He has shown his contract to
 the Sporting Editor of the Farmer,
 who herewith prints the clause which
 is causing all the doubt
 FEIt is further understood and agreed between both parties to this contract that they will respect and abide by said league, subject only to appeals for final adjudication to the National Commission, and also respect and abide by all of the provisions and and rules of the National Conlrnis- sion.''
 Where does the United States lea que come under the National agree ment? It, is a purely outlaw organiza- tion having clubs in such cities as Boston, Brooklyn and Providence, where there are and have been clubs in organized baseball for some time color line, does organized baseball.
 Manager McCann of the local base ball team was shown the article today and stated that it was very n1iSlead- ing, seemingly to entrap young base ball players who do not understand baseball laws. When McCann was told that the contract was to be re- turned to Lawson, as president of the league, the local manager threw up his hands. (Which Lawson is. it % he asked.
