BELLE BOYD'S WATCH.
Spy Gave It to Arlington, Who
Gives It to Baltimore Club.

A silver watch owned. and carried by
Belle Boyd. the noted Confederate spy,
has been presented by Andrew Arlington
Of this city to the Grand Army Club of
Baltimore. The relic will be placed in the
relic room of the club.
Mr.. Arlington is member of Lafayette
Post, No. 20. of the Department of the
Potomac. He explains that he procured
the watch from Miss Boyd while she was
incarcerated in the old Capitol prison In
this city.
Mr.. Arlington was a member of the
18th New York Cavalry and at the time
was on detached duty sat the provost
marshaIs Office. Because of several ia
vors he extended Miss Boyd while she
was in prison she gave him the watch
as present.
Belle Boyd was a Maryland girl. and is
described as absolutely without fear. BY
a daring ruse she captured three or four
steamboats, during the civil war and land
ed the Union soldiers on them at points
on the James river. turning them over
to the Confederate forces as prisoners Of
war.
She also had many thrilling and hair
breadth experiences during the conflict
and displayed type of courage that was
admired even by her enemies.

FAST POSTAL CARD PRESS.
New G. P. o. Machine Will Turn
Ont 1000. 600 Dailv.

One of the most rapid printing presses
in the world is being installed at the
government printing Office, and will be
employed within a week or two in sup
plying Uncle Sans Post Office Depart
ment with approximately 100000 postal
cArds day.
The press is rotary, and prints
practically automatically from a roll. A
banding attachment may be added to
the machine, which will turn out the
finished product banded in packages of
twenty-five postal cards.
The contract with the government print
ing Office for furnishing the postals be-
came effective January /. AS the press
has not been installed. the Post Office
Department had the former contractor
furnish a sufficient number of cards.
which, with the reserve on hand, will
carry the department until the printing
machine is in operation. Approximately
81, 0OO. coo postal cards were sent out Janu-
airy l to the twenty subagencies of the
Post Office Department.
Printers are much interested in the
lightning press that is being added to
the public printery by Mr.. Donnelly,
public printer. It's great speed is in
dicated by the TACT that it will be re-
quired to turn out 100000 OF the cards
each twenty-four hours. 1t is probable
that a second rotary postal card press
may be added later.

to find decrepit old man fed out OF

Is training faithfully and too Vigor-
ously, IL anything. His unpopularity
comes from the fact that Jcffries abso-
lutely declines to be a hero.
Probably no other big fighter ever
trained under similar conditions. The
hotel at Rowardennan consists of a
flock of bungalows scattered i'm among
the pine trees. In the most remote Of
these lives Jeffries. 1t Is well under
stood that visitors to the camp are to
keep away from the Jeffries cottage. In
its privacy he and his wife entertain
.hoir personal friends.
. Very few of these friends are con-
neCted with the ring" In the family

Hffracfs Tennis Players

The recent sudden departure of Beals
c. Wright for England has focused the
attention of American tennis players on
situation of much uncertainty and no
little delicacy.
Rumors have been persistent that
Wright, who will lead any American
team that may compete for the Dwight
f. Davis international cup, now held by
Australia, hopes to bring back the pre-
liminary match with Great Britain to
this country. Officers OF the National
Lawn Tennis association denied this
to-day and insisted that Wright had
sailed on his own Initiative, and that
the association knew nothing of his
plans
An officer of the association, who also
belongs to the international team com
mittee. was pessimistic on the whole
outlook The Englishmen. he said. had
positively refused to come to this coun-
try. On the other hand, It would be
difficult TO pick an American team to
visit England. 1t would be easy to get
a first class team to go to London. but
II the team should win II must then
continue TO Australia. and few players
feel that they. can spare the time for
the latter journey. Il

Ndbice to Young Ball PLAYERS
BY An Old Timer

Sacrifice hitting Is more In evidence
In major league baseball to-day than
ever before In Its history. 1t Is prac-
tically impossible for a player, except
possibly a pitcher, or In rare instance
a catcher. to hold down his position
unless he can lay down a bunt when
directed to do so by the manager.
II have seen many ball games won
by sacrifice hit" says George Davis.
manager of the Des Moines team. for
merly big Lacquer. and probably the
brainiest man In baseball to-day. "The
Squeeze play, which is pulled off so
frequently nowadays, cannot be
worked without reliable sacrifice hit :
ter al bat"
Wagner. who dotes on the long swing
and the extra base hit, is devoting more
attention nowadays to the sacrifice
than at any other time I'm his career.
Last season the Dutchman bagged
twenty-seven, the same number ac-
quired by Tommy Leach Dick Egan

nudging thirty-five sacrifices to the op-
posing fielders.
HOFFMAN of the Cubs has beaten out
many inield drives, and, while he likes
the long swat, there are few men In
the game to-day who can show Arte
anything, new in the line of sacrifices,
Schultz also is an artist, having picked
OF total of twenty while Stein
feldt got thlrty-one.
For time last season the Boston
Red Sox rarely ever made use of the
sacrifice. and the club went hot clip
all summer because the speedy boys de-
pended on their sprinting abilities
oftentimes to carry them safely to
first. That is bad baseball, however,
for the sacrifice hit must be pressed
into service at some time or other in
every game. 1t is much harder prop
osition to lay down a bunt than to con-
meet for long sacrifice fly to the out
field which will give runner on third
time to hike over the plate.
Among the American leaguers, Ownle
Bush OF the champion Detroit club set
the leading pace, getting record of
hfty-two clean sacrifices. With a fast
team such an accomplishment means a
lot in the production OF runs. And, aft .
er all, it's the runs that win ball games,
so the sacrifice must be regarded as one
of the many cogs that must work per-
fectly to attain success on the ball field.
