AN ALL-TIME TEAM.

Golfers Weekly gives space recent ly to a whimsical conception of a correspondent who is strong for an au-time team of those who have play ed ball with the affairs of history.
 "The baseball season of 1910 having passed into history. and the all-star team having been duly selected by va rious and sundry experts. here is the lineup of ar-time players hard to beat: Gather. John n. Rockefeller: pitcher, Theodore Roosevelt; first base. George Washington: second base, T. Thumb; third base. Captain Kidd; shortstop. Mercury: outfielders, Thor. Hercules. Samson.
 "If any man has caught more In a lifetime than Rockefeller, it has escap- cd general notice. Roosevelt has pitch ed into everything and everybody; heI had a wonderful rise and an equally' sudden drop Why not he for the box? He could also captain and manage the team on the side.
 Washington, first in war; first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen. Why not first base. as well?
 "The object in placing Gen Tom Thumb at second was to have a well balanced team. Captain Kidd at third could be relied on to rob many an op- posing batter of hit or run; he would also excel in stealing bases. The ser ious question is whether he might not better fill the place of umpire.
 '1n Mercury We would have a speedy shortstop, and one who would be cer- tain to make good running bases.
 "where could you find a bunch of heavier hitting outfielders than Messrs Thor. Hercules and Samson?"
 The humorist has overlooked a few. There was Bacchus, who had batting average that was wonder; if memory serves alright. David demonstrated by his little affair with Goliath that he could throw. and there was Damon. whose famous sacrifice made him world renowned. Really there should be a first and second all-time team.

Colonel Roosevelt is flaying the trusts every chance he gets, yet there are many who believe that the trusts fiourished during his regime They surely did before he went into office. but he soon started investigations and paved the way for convicting many of the officials which has been brought to the bar of justice during the reign of his successor.
 ExPres.dent Roosevelt believes in q square deal to all and it will take many years to stamp out the favora- ble impression he made upon the Am erican people during his term of office. He was a natural born fighter, and even if he had a weakness for the limelight, as many of his enemies claim. yet his works were such that they would stand the full pressure, with the actor as a central figure.
