BY PAUL HALE RRusKE.

MONROE, La, March 4.--Next to
the restoration of harmony among
the veterans OF the Detroit club, The
most important problem OF the train
ing season Is undoubtedly the selec-
ton of the three or four young pitch
ers who will be relied upon to sup
plement the efforts OF Detroit's vet
eran quartet-Donovan, Mullin, Will
lett and Summers.
Undoubtedly, the main burden OF
the season will have to be borne by
these four. But there is an excellent
opening on the Tiger STAFF for q good
left-hander or two, and for couple
of gentlemen who sling In the normal
method.
The party of athletes now training
here, boasts nine colt pitchers, includ-
ing Ralph Works who Is still on pro-
baton, after lowering for two seasons
in the league. Stroud OF last years
team il also a member Of the squad.
The others are Ioudell, Covington.
w. w. Smith and Lively, right-hand-
ers; Cavet, Mitchell and Peasley, left

after II takes the road and who, on

Ralph STIR Best Bet.

Hatpn StiU 6est bet.
Works II unquestionably the best
bet OF the bunch. With allt Ralph's
string OF misfortunes, II can't be
denied that he has probably as much
speed and natural equipment as any
pitcher in the American league.
Ralph grew up to be a man before
his mind was really mature" said
Hughie Jennings the other day, In dis
GUESSING the causes that have con-
tributed SO much to his failing to at
tain unquestioned success. Then
Hughie added that he thinks Ralph Is
now in a position to go ahead and
realize on his ability. Ralph has cut
out lot OF the boyish stun that
probably went we'll when he was
pitching for the Bloomer Girls. but
hasn't helped him In the American
league. At heart he IL a real gentle
man.
"I've talked too much in other
years" Ralph told the writer on the
way down; I'm going to play this
year more with my hands than my
mouth. Watch me and see IL don't
keep that promise"
II Ralph masters the problem OF
pitching, with men on bases, and
keeps the curve which he developed
last year, as an offset to his remark
able speed, he'll be pitching oftener
than once q week all through 1911.
Another Chance For Stroud.
Another pitcher sure to get thor
ough trial Is Stroud. Like the other
Ralph, he has the natural equipment,
all right, but has fallen bit short
OF conclusive success. The enemy
didn't hit him very often, but when
they did land, their blows were for
extra bases and at the most expensive
times. Stroud is inclined to regard
his first year with the Tigers as one
In which misfortune camped on his
trail. He also tempted the bride
groom hoodo which seems about the
best-founded superstition In baseball.
Everything else being equal, Stroud
will get another chance. His expert
ence will count strongly In his favor.
This brings us to the men who
graduated from the minors last fall
OF these Lively, the spit-ball pitcher
from the Pacific Coast. Is the most
experienced in appearance and the
best in allround baseball skill. He
handles himself like a veteran both

Tho Norman,s Coronation.

A peculiar incident happened at the
browning of William the Conqueror.
After the coronation oath. in which
the new monarch promised to protect
the church and to execute, judgment
and mercy, the archbishop put the
question to the assembled crowd,
''Will We have this prince to be your
king?"
A clamorous response of assent star
tied the Norman garrison. They be-
lieved the English had revolted and
took up their swords and torches.
They set fire to the house, the flames
spread. and there was general alarm.
The English, hearing of the plumber,
rushed out of church. The bishops
and clergy who remained were In such
confusion that they could hardly go
through with the act Of browning.
William heard the tumult, but could
not conjecture the cause and sat trem-
bling at the foot of the altar. No
great mischief was done by the fire,
but the occurrence laid the foundation
Of long enmity between the English
and Normans.

The shakespearean sonnets.

There are many excellent reasons
for thinking that Shakespeare did not
write all Of the sonnets that have come
down to us associated with his name.
1t Is a fact that he never published
them, never claimed their authorship,
never acknowledged them, and never,
SO far as can be ascertained, gave his
consent or authority to have them
published in his name. Some of the
sonnets imply in their author certain
physical defects, pecuniary embarrass-
ments and other things which could not
have applied to Shakespeare, but
which might very well have fitted
Marlowe. or William Herbert, or
Henry Wriothesley, or any one Of a
half dozen other young men in Shake
speare's circle. It is as good as settled
that several. If not many. Of the SON
nets were written by other hands than
those Of the author Of Hamlet" and
"King Lear" though, of course, the
task Of naming the real authors is an
impossible one.-New York American

Punctuality In London.

There is plenty Of rush and hurry in

but the English ways seem to be much
more systematic and dignified. The

frock coat. spats-for business proce-
dure in England must be met with due
compliance to English ideas Of propri-
ETY..
Appointments must be made by writ

when the appointment is made it is to

about things. but they just plan and

In fighting to keep the blood
pure the white corpuscles attack
disease germs like tigers. But
often germs multiply so fast the

condition demands Electric Bitters
