THE OLD SCHOOL BELL.

The old school bell is standing yet,
The bell swings TO and fro,
That called US in those happy days,
So many years ago.
But different set of children now,
Is playing round about,
Upon the old school house steps,
Where we romped in and out
A world Of happiness,
Their bright young faces tell,
As onward to the school they go,
To the ringing of the bell.
Can you not recall those happy days,
When you were child at school,
For within its walls SO pure and fair
We observed the golden rule.
And under heavens vast canopy
Either by night or day,
We must use it as a guide post
To help us along the way.
And should we meet a comrade,
Who by the way has fell,
Shall we not assistance lend,
Pealed forth the good old bell.
When the old bell rang for dinner time,
With hearts so light and gay,
The children would lay their studies
aside,
And march outdoors to play.
Some would chase the butterflies
Across the clover fields,
Some sit beneath the shady trees,
To enjoy their frugal meals.
Some would gather flowers wild,
The ones we loved so well,
Each child having a gay time,
Till the ringing of the bell.
shall ne'er forget the closing scent,
Twas in the balmy month Of June,
The song birds sang their sweetest songs
For all nature was abloom.
A happy lot of girls and boys,
On this the closing day,
Books here and satchels there,
While flowers around them lay.
Good bye to teachers and playmates,
And the old school house as well,
And they were complimented by
The ringing of the bell.
And when the day was over
We started for our homes.
Some went in crowd,
While others went alone.
And alone we must all 70,
/ Over this vast and rugged plain,
i And we oftentimes wish for those good
i old days
That we cannot recall again.
So send your children on to school, @
For the future alone can tell,
They may some day bless your eyes,
Rang out the good old bell.
A merry lot of children,
As homeward they retreat,
Bringing back cherished memories
To those they chance to meet,
But their future lies before them,
And parents must not wait,
And as the tree grows crooked,
Try hard to keep it straight.
So farewell, schoolmates, one and all, "a,
Again l say farewell,
Tell your children round about,
The story of the bell.

SIump i'm British Consols.

London, Oct 26.-Consols for money
declined to 7S% and made a new low
record today. The rate of interest is
so small apparently that no one wants
this erstwhile premier security. As a
result whenever a holder is forced to
SELL it is at a sacrifice. There is moth
ing in the foreign political situation to
Justify the unbroken slump.

finish, score, II to 4.
Todd. who has been pitching good ball
all this season for the boys across the
creek, was easy picking for Technical,
and after ten runs had been registered
in the first three innings. the result was
never in doubt. However, in due justice
to The Red and White twirer it can be
said that a good many of the Machinists
totals were directly due to the loose
fielding of his teammates behind him
Kelley and Lynch excelled in the field
for Technical. while Meyers caught a

SPORTING COMMENT.
BY J. ED GRILLO.

Had il not been for the poor showing
the Nationals made after the first series
here with the Athletics they would no"
be very close to the top. But the games
lost on the last trip to Boston, New YORK
ard Philadelphia gave the team a severe
setback and ii will require continued
winning streak to pull it up to a percen-
tage of 500.
Today the Nationals have a higher
standing in the matter of percentage than
the team has enjoyed in recent years, anu
the form II is showing day after day is
convincing proof that the present good
work of the team Is not a flash in the
pan, but the result of the players round
ing into their best form. Many games
have been won recently, and that, too,
with two of the men supposed to be the
best hitters on the team not batting up to
their standard. Neither Unglaub nor Leli-
welt has displayed his usual consist
ent hitting ability at any time this spring
But here is no reason for believing that
the stump is going To be permanent
Both are sure to get their eyes the ball
in the course OF time. which will greatly
benefit the team. With the pitchers going
as they are it is but necessary to have
enough hitting 20 keep up the average in
run getting to win games.
ne coming OF the veteran trainer,
Billy Delaney into Jack Johnson's camp
will be looked upon as a significant addi-
ton TO the cclored champions squad of
trainers. Delaney has been given credit
for being the man who developed Jim
Jenrtes, and is therefore tn roughly ia
m'liar with the big fellows style OF light
Ing. What is more, he may have good
reasons for taking sides with johnson.
for Delaney undoubtedly is In a position
to knew just what condition Jeffries is
In.
1t is safe to say that Delaney would
not be Identified with johnson If he did
not believe the colored man had a good
chance TO win the fight. He would con-
slider it blemish Oh his reputation to
be identified with Johnson il the latter
should be beaten. There is however,
one erroneous impression out regarding

Delaney and Jeffries, and that is that
Delaney directed the big fellows training
work. No one has ever been able to do
that, and Delaney didn't. Jeffries always
had his own way about how he got him
self into condition, and Delaney allowed
him to have 1t when he found that it was
the only way the big fellow could be
handled But Delaney should be of great
value to johnson, who. from all accounts,
is more in need of a guiding hand than
jeffries
Rumors pertaining to anything connect
ed with base ball have something on a
prairie fire when it comes to covering
ground in a short space of time, and they
are just about as hard to extinguish:
Just now the friends of Connie Mack
are having hard time over in Philadel-
phia trying TO knock the props from under
a story circulated to the effect that there
is friction among the owners of the Ath
letics: that Mack has thrown down the
gauntlet will sever his connections with
the team and take charge of Frank Far
reE's New York aggregation
Though the story looks absurd on the
face of 1T, vet there are those in
Quakertown who insist that there is fire
beneath all the smoke. Connie Mack and
the others interested With him in the
Philadelphia club certainly could not have
any reason for friction. If there is one
thing that Mack knows it is to attend to
his own affairs. Furthermore, his success
has been so marked that even If he were
not a congenial character the other own
ers would make concessions to hold him
for purely business reasons.
The story is undoubtedly the dream OF
some individual, who has taken pleasure
in spreading it, and yet every time the
Athletics lose a game-which has not
been ofter-the defeat is blamed on the
friction which rumor says exists among
the owners of the club. ,.
Like many other young players before
him, Ty Cobb does not realize that his
throwing arm Is rather delicate append
age, and that this member requires the
best Of care. Cobb has wonderful
throwing arm, and yet IL there is any
thing about this wonderful player that
will give out first it is this arm, for the
reason that Cobb abuses it.
The average ball player never takes any
chances with his arm and should not IL
he expects to keep 1T in trim. If ne be
an outfieider he makes only Outf1eld
throws after having warmed his arm up
before so doing. But Cobb often pitches
for half hour or more. trying spit balls,
knuckle balls and all sorts OF freak de-
liveries. His teammates plead with him
to cut this sort of practice from his
repertoire but Cobb does not seem to
realize that he is endangering his value
as a ball player by this practice, and
probably won't until it is too late.
