Manager Hughey Jennings is quoted as
saying, Its a sad thing for me to see
Cobb's throwing ability leave him. I've
seen 1t year by year-more recently day
by day. Ty isn't getting the men at the
plate as he used to do" An uncontroll-
able desire to pitch during the early
practice periods is said to be response

is below par, Washington fans have not
noticed 1t. He looked mighty good every
time he appeared at National Park this
season.
Brooklyn baseball writer's were thrown
into a spasm yesterday when II was
known that Horace Fogelr of the Phil

Moore for Nap Rucker, of the Dodgers.
The last named is as much Of an idol in
the eyes of Brooklyn fans as Walter
johnson is in the Capital One Brook

The great Hans Wagner is recuperating
in Pittsburg and getting over a sprained
ankle by taking automobile rides. Hans
expects to get back into the game very
soon, and when he does the Giants and
Cubs had better look out. as the Pirates
are still within grabbing distance of first
place in the National League.
The Chicago White Sox are to train

Roy Hartzell, of the New York Ameri-
cans, is quoted as saying that Ty Cobb
is demonstrating the fact that he is not
a cheese champion and leading the league
by beating out bunts Last season the
claim was made that Cobb's position
among the hitters was due to bunts,
while batters who always hit the ball
on the nose did not win any autos. I've
been playing third base all season and
haven't seen him bunt a single time,
said Hartzell. He figured the new ball
too lively to bunt, and he's at the top

FIRST GAME.

Manager McAleer wasted no time with
any of his second-string pitchers when
time came to start the opening game
He propounded Walter Johnson, and
Walter was at his very best. Mullin
also started out as if he had regained
mis- midseason effectiveness. AS his
battery mate. Charlie Schmidt appeared
at starting his first game of the year
The first inning was barren of result
but pass to Mcbride and hits by Cum
ningham and Street got one for WASH
ington in the second.
In the third Milan started with a neat
hit, and took third when Mullin threw
Schaefer's sacrifice wild to first Walker
forced Schaefer, Milan scoring. and
Gessler walked. Bush booted McBride's
grounder. and Gessler, who had stolen
and advanced on a wild pitch, came
home with the third run.
Four More for Nationals,
In the fifth the Nationals went crazy
with hits by johnson, Milan, Walker.
Gessler, and Morgan for a total of four
runs more, and those bugs who had
hoped for a Tiger rally that would even

period Mullin was driven from the slab.

presence Of the latter in the batting or

Schmidt, Crawford, and Bush for an
other tally.
But these two runs were nothing COM

after McAleers men had landed on La

In the eighth they hit him for a double
by Morgan and singles by Cunningham
Milan. and SChaefer, which. coupled with
an error by Bauman, and another by
Bush, netted four more runs.
Ten Men Bat in Ninth.
In the ninth the Nationals batted all

Morgan, Street. Milan, and Schaefer,
while infield mispIays smashed the rec
ords of Gainor. Delehanty, Cobb. and
Bush. Five runs were scored, according
TO the frenzied tabulationS of the scribes
1t was by all odds the worst exhibition
of the national pastime put up by the
Tigers this season, and the team seemed
to be utterly iemoralized.
Through it all. however, the Nationals
kept pegging along with ell the zeal they
would have shown had they been bat

Cleveland is up In arms about what Is
claimed was unfair treatment In the al
lotment of umpires by President johnson.
According to figures, young Mullen has
worked in more games in the Maps ball
yard than in any other city In the
league. and during the past ten games
his decisions have not been to the lik-
ing of the Cleveland fans. The Ma
tionals had the same conditions to con-
vigorous protest from Manager McAleer
to the big chief brought about speedy
change. It's up to Stovall to make a
'holler."
English papers are roasting the life
out of the promoters behind the Jack
Johnson -Bombadier Wells match, claim
ing the white man has no earthly chance
against the negro. Wells himself Is
fool to think he has a show with the
big black. Whether he Is In shape or
not, Johnson will not only make the
Britisher look like a novice, but will
nut an end to the career Of a promis-
ing young heavyweight. Wells should
wait a few years before getting into
the same ring with Johnson.
The official fielding averages Of Nc
Aleer's Rochester recruits up to last
Saturday are as follows: Spencer. 977
putouts, 40 assists, 81 errors. with
percentage Of .s75; Moeller, 81 putouts,

There is much weeping, wailing. and
gnashing Of teeth in st. Louis these
days among the American League sup
porters. It appears that Jackson. who
is now playing such sensational ball
for the Boston National League club,
was for a short time a candidate for
fob with the Browns. jackson was
turned loose, and now the sum Of
$1,000 would not purchase the player.

Of the Rebellion. Now in Kansas City
.-.SOme "reminiscences

I was only IL years old. So you see
that l enlisted only two weeks after
my birthday. Mr.. Orwell, l see, was
nearly 10 years old. So l guess my
war record as to minimum age of en-
listment entities me to take prece-
dence over him"
His Record.
Then he showed a history of the
Seventy.fifth Indiana infantry which
speaks particularly of him and cor
roborates what he said as to his age
at enlistment being only IL. The part
OF the history referring to Mr.. Burke
as drummer is as follows:
"The youngest member was Andrew
H. Burke, the drummer of Company
D. He was born May Is, 1850, and, at
the time of his enrolment, was a lad
IL years old, with auburn hair and
grayish.blue eyes. On account of his
age he had difficulty in obtaining
muster into the service, but through
the assistance of Major McCales, the
mastering officer, General Darlington
admitted him into the regiment Andy
was the musician who, on an eventful
Sunday morning, at Lebanon, KY,
beat the long roll on his drum which
called the regiment into its line of
battle.
HE was with us carrying his drum
at the head Of the regiment through
all the marches and raids in Ken
lucky and Tennessee. The whirlgig
of time brings great changes. This
drummer boy in 1862 is the governor
of North Dakota in 1892"
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1911-08-02

Andrew r. Burke, former governor
of North Dakota but now OF Kansas
City has put forward claim for be-
ing the youngest soldier of the union
army during the civil war. Mr.. Burke
was in Kansas City recently and
there read of William S. Orwell of
that city, who had made a similar
claim being under Is when he en-
listed.
The following article from the
Kansas City Star will be of interest
to North Dakotans:
"Now, l really dislike, Columbus
like, to knock Mr.. Orwell out of first
place for the honor of being the
youngest soldier who enlisted in the
civil war, which he claims in the
Star, SATURDAY morning" said Mr..
Burke. But Like the Kansas City Blues
guess he will have to be content
with second place and let me move
into first place, though it be for
few days only, or until, possibly, an
other claimant for the honor comes
along and shoves me out of place,
and Mr. Orwell in third place. You
know there is always the possibility
of there being others.
Anyhow. both of us will always be
members of the third division because
that distinction takes in all less than
Is years old, and he and can easily
qualify for that honor" Here Mr.
Burke became reminiscent.

reasoning and decision for action. This
power Of reasoning and Judging IL

brain long poisoned by alcohol 1t is an
impossibility to exercise it. Memory it.
self is also weakened. There Is exces.
sive forgetfulness Of the recent past.
and In some cases Of advanced alcohol
ism there is absolute forgetfulness Of
wide gaps Of years: man may be
enable to remember anything from the
last five minutes back for twenty years
and then remember back to childhood.
The memories Of childhood are more
easily stamped on the brain than are
those of adult life. both because 1t
takes less to impress a child and BE-
cause there is not the complexity of
ideas crowding into the brain. nor the
completely of association Of ideas to
be recorded. Therefore memories Of
childhood make q deeper impress and,
last longer. and so the complex memo

gotten In the alcoholic, and those Of
childhood remain.
