AMBASSADORS.
They Enjoy Many More Privileges
Than Mere Ministers.

In the popular mind-the Amcri-
can mind at leaSt-there is very lit
tie difference between an ambassa-
dor and minister. but the former
IS entitled to very man. privileges
abroad that are denied to a mere
envoy.
For instance, one curious privi-
lege 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 procedure, generally speak
ing, is as follows:
When an audience is at an end
the ambassador waits to be dis
missed by the sovereign When dis
missed the ambassador bows, retires
three PAGES, bows again, rctircs
three PAGES, bows Il third time,
turns on his heels and walks to the
folding doors. But when the reign
ing sovereign is a woman still po-
liter methods obtain To turn his
back would be discourteous; to
walk backward would be to resign a
privilege. Therefore the ambassador
"etires sideways like Il crab. He
keeps one eve on the sovereign, and
with the other he endcavors to find
the door. BY this unique means he
contrivcs to cvince all politcness 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 open for him. No one save
an ambassador can claim this privi-
lege. The most any nonambassado-
rial 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 rea-
sons why Abdul Ilamid when sui
tan of Turkey opposed the raising
of our mission at Constantinople to
an embassy. 1t was decidedly in
convenient at times to see the
American representative at all.
To the European the most i'm
portant feature of the ambassadors
makeup is his sword. There the
blade Of the sword is a rapier blade
with the point bluntcd. 1t has been
fac~iously observed abroad that
the use the sword is put to, in addi-
ton to its trick Of tripping up its
wearer, is usually the harmless one
of poking fires. One diplomatist
was said to file his bills on his
sword when it was not otherwise en-
gagged, and for a long while it was
a standing witticism Of the corps
diplomatique in Europe that the
Russian ambassadors used their
swords to file broken treaties, a cir
cumstance that was held to account
for the inordinate length Of their
weapons. Exchange.

WHERE MACK FOUND
BENDER and PLANK
Philadelphia Manager Saw Them
Pitch in Great College
Game

Two heroic figures have doomed
large on the horizon of athletic activ-
tiles in the years that both have
been members of the band that
wound up a glorious career of a year
ago with a worlds championship In
the custody Of Connie Mack. Both
of these noble brethren are two as
league boasts-Charles Albert Bender
and Edward Gettysburg Plank.
Around both of them clusters one OF
the finest stories of the discovery of
player by that astute Columbus of
baseball-Cornelius McGilIicuddy
Years ago, the number of matters
not, two colleges were Dickinson and
Gettysburg. Their rivalry was of the
nature of that feeling between Yale
and Harvard. Each strove to out
do the other in every branch of ath-
letic endeavor. When Dickinson
met the enemy and triumphed the stu
dent body went crazy with ''demen-
tia collegiana." When Gettysburg
vanquished Dickinson the undergrad d.
yates of the former institution were
10 a joyous frenzy
Now, Gettysburg, a number of
years ago had a tall, rang tough
fpered southpaw pitching, who was
moving down his opponents one by
one. He had a supply of dazzling
curves and a peculiar cross-fire that
worked havoc with opposing batsmen.
That lad signed his name Eddie Plank
Dickinson, worried over the stellar
work of the gallant Plank, was in the
threes of despair as the time for an
nual contest, with Gettysburg ap-
preached. The mighty southpaw
seemed destined to inflict the wound
on the hated rival of the college by
the battlefield.
gettysburg was jubilant and meta
pherically licked her chops in antici-
patton of chewing her rival into tiny
morsels. Plank was at the helm,
and gettysburg felt that Eddie was
unbeatable.
Prior to this time there was a. STEM
der sapHng Of Carlisle whose ances-
tors were noted chiefs of the Chip
peWa tribe. This bronzed giant. who
overtopped most of his fellow stu
dents was a mighty warrior. His
name was Charles Albert Bender.
However, there came a time when
there was a ruction between the tam
ned giant and the rulers Of the schoI-
aStjc institution. Chief Bender in
high dudgeon, left the institution and
wendell his way to Dickinson.
Gettysburg knew nothing of the
advent of Bender into the realm OF
her rival and sister college. Dickin-
son, foxiness ruling paramount, kent
the Indian under cover, and reyeJed

mond Offers Poor Future
For Y0ungster

Keep out Of baseball unless you
are sure of being a start" is Mat
thewson's message to the younger
generation glowing with ambition for
professional careers. Baseball is ad-
visable as a career. Mathewson says,
only if you are assured of being a
much-sought-after player. He gives
us his opinion that the average young
man would be much better off as a
bank clerk than as ball player whose
ability will not permit his entering
the big leagues.
The average period of usefulness is
ten years, points out Matthewson, and
the ten years are the best of a mans
life. Also the average salary is such
that it will now allow any great saw
ing. From Mathewson's viewpoint it
would appear that the average ball
player throws away the best part OF
his life and has nothing to show when
the throwing is ended. To bear eut
Mathewson, remember that we found
the wonderful salary tale to be myth

cerned. Only the gods figure in the
myths, and only Cobb. Wagner, Mai

in glee at the thought of the surprise
party which was to be handed to the
enemy.
At last the gala day arrived, Get
tysburg had the game at home, and
business ceased in the somnolent viii
lage. Included in that gathering was
a tall and thin man with an austere
face, quiet garb like a cleric and the
wisdom of an owl. His name in the
galaxy Of basebalrs famous men is
Mack.
Stories Of the wonderful proves
of the awkward left-handed of Get
tysburg had reached the ears Of the
astute Cornelius, and he was there
to watch Plank and see him in &C.
fixed on the southpaw; his keen vision
was to be chained to the tall boy with
dazzling breaks.
Never into his mind came the
thought that while watching one
pitcher he was to see the work OF
another shine in comparison with tina.
OF even the star of Gettysburg. But
such proved to be the case. The
teams came out to warm up in pre-
Hmlnary practice.

teen innings fortune tipped her scales
toward neither one nor the other, the

With the colleges both scoreless in
that period darkness dropped her
mantle to cover the battle field in a
sable garment. and the heroes retired
from the field unscathed but unsuc-
cessful, or doubly successful, accord
ingly as one views the matter.
The history Of that game shows
that twice Plank's battling curves
failed in their purpose, and these two
hits were the only ones made off the
grand southpaw. But one of Ben
der's curves failed to foil the oppo-
sition, and this one-hit game for fif-
teen innings comes near being a col
lege record. Manager Mack never
stopped an instant signing both men.

nard got into telephone communica-
ton with President Ban Johnson of
the Am erican League and johnson
called off yesterdays game here.
One of the players, whose name is

fusing to play yesterday, all the play
ers would have stayed away from the
ball field until every fine was remit
ted.

CHOOSING A BAT.
Don't Try to Use Bat Which Is Too
Heavy for You.
From c. H. Claudy's "The Battle OF
Baseball in May st. Nicholas.

From c. H. Claudy's "The Battle Of
Baseball" in May st. Nicholas.
Whatever you do, don't try to use
a bat which is too heavy for you.
Perhaps there is no one thing that
more retards boys game of ball,
his development of skill, and his sue
cess as player than his attempt to
do everything the big league player
does, merely because he does it, and
without regard to the difference in
age, strength, and size.
There may be a boy on your team
who has Cobb for his favorite; you
and slender, and trying to use it, al
though it is almost as big as he is!
Some one who makes Arson, former
ly of Chicago. or the "scrappy'' little
former New York player, kid Ell
berfeld, his model, gets hold of a reg
ular "war-club," thick, heavy, and
short-and finds he is hitting at the
ball long after it has gone by!
Choose your bat according to your
size and strength; get one you can
swing quickly, vigorously; and don't
make the mistake of thinking. a big
club means lots of hits; it doesn't. If
it did, every man playing would get
the largest and heaviest bat he could
carry. And hold it as seems natural
held some little way from the end)
or right down on the end.
Learn how you can hold the bat
to make a bunt with the most GER
tainty, and learn to take that hold
instantly, and as the ball is pitched.
To show the pitcher and the rest Of
the team that you are going to bunt
by holding the bat as if for bunt
before the ball is pitched, is fatal
to YOUR success,
