AN AFFAIR
OF HONOR
BY THOMAS r. DEAN
Copyright by American Press Asso-
citation, 1911

The civil war gave those who par
ticipated in it all the fighting they
wanted for many year to cOme-in-
deed, for the rest of their natural
| ives-but it left its effects in differ
ent way on many boys who were too
young to fight for the Union. Peter
Briton was seventeen years old when
the Confederacy collapsed, and he ever
after regretted that the fight hadn't
been kept up long enough for him to
get smell of powder
When Peter was twenty-one this
spirit developed with a desire to take
part in duel He maintained that
affairs among gentlemen would better
be settled by the code than by bloody
noses, though why blood coming from
place where there is little or no dan
ger rather than one where death may
be instantaneous did not appear in
Peters logic. He mistook himself
The reason he believed in dueling was
because he rather fancied getting into
a duel.
When this fad with him was at his
height he went abroad. Dueing has
always been more or less in vogue in
all the countries in Europe and is so
on the continent today Peter went to
London, but no one insulted him there.
and he continued on to Paris Even
in the French capital he saw no
chance to participate in his hobby. so
he went on down into Italy.
The middle class Italians are peace
full people, and Peter found himself as
far as ever from duel Fearing that
he would be obliged to return home
without a scrap, he resolved to pick a
quarrel with some one. In restau-
rant in Rome he saw Il man at a neigh
boring table eating macaroni in a man
ner displeasing to well bred Ameri-
en-. Peter signifed his displeasure by
calling to the man not to make pig
of himself. The man. instead Of Civ
ing verbal reply, tossed the contents
of a tumbler of wine in Peters face
and went on e" ting his macaroni Pc

turn.
Picking up the mans card. Peter took
it to an American friend of his. Gun
ter. and told him the circumstances.
Gunter looked at the card and ex-
claimed:
Good gracious, man, you've chal-
lenged CasteIli!''
"And who is CasteI'i?"
1.-THE principal of the fencing school,"
Peters face fell.
"He's not only that" Gunter went
on; hes noted duelist."
Peter turned very pale.
Hes not only noted duelist. but
he kills his man every time There is
a great deal of prejudice against him
in Rome. but he finds all the pupils
he cares to have among the young
Roman swells who may possibly some
time need to use his instruction. They
find him splendid teacher"

Sentiment appears to be with the
Washington ball club in its controversy
with Walter Johnson over the amount of
salary he is to receive. Though the pub
lie usually sides with the player who is
trying to get an increase of salary, it
seems to be the consensus of opinion
among the patrons of the game here
that johnson has been fairly treated and
is making exorbitnat demands 1t is of
course realized that unless Johnson
comes into the fold the team stands little
chance of improving its position in the
race. and yet the public would back the
club in its stand not to accede to the de-
mands of the big pitcher.
1t is argued that johnson has never
been as successful as Big Ed WASH
Christy Mathewson or several other star
performers, and yet he insists OH having
a larger salary than any of these pitch
ers has ever drawn. OF course. Johnson
cannot be blamed for the effort, but the
club must protect itself. The chances are
that there will be no great difficulty ex-
perienced getting together on the salary
question the next time the subject comes
up for conference.
Gessler, Milan and Lelivelt in the out
field make a combination which is apt to
prove a genuine SUI prise. Should Gessler
get back ris batting eyes, and he appears
to be steadily improving. this trio will
hold it's own with the stick, and that, after
all, is what an outiield is supposed to do.
The average ball team cares its batting
strength in the outfield, yet the Nationals
have nearly always been weakest there
AS the outfield is now made up there is
good chance for 1t to do some tall hut
ting and that is what the team needs
most. True, Lelivelt and Gess.er are not
remarkable fielders, but where they have
but one difficult chance in. the outf1eld they
will face the pitcher about four times a
day SO that it they hit their batting Will
easily offset any shortening they may
have in the field.
The relegation of Warren Miller to the
bench after nearly three weeks OF prac-
tice does not come as surprise to those
who are familiar with this young mans
disposition. There is no doubt about his
being a natural hitter. a fast man and a
fair fielder, but he lacks ambition and
knowledge of the game. A. glaring Illus
tration Of how little Miller knows of base
ball. though he has been professional
for three or four years, was furnished by
him during the game last Saturday. Wal

BRACE UP, GOLFERS!
England's "Big Four" Coming to
This Country This Year.

CHICAGO. March 23-Announcement
was made yesterday that the ''big four"
professional golfers of the world. James
Braid, Harry Vardon. George Duncan and
J. T. Taylor, would cross the Atlantic
this year to compete in the national open
championship tournament of the United
States Golf Association to be held at
the Chicago Golf Club. Wheaton. The
news was brought by Stewart Gardner
Of Exmoor and James Donaldson of Glen
View, who returned from Scotland yes
terday.
The tournament is to be held June %
and "a and it is already predicted that
the event will rival any that has ever
been held.
Along with the statement that the four
would come here was brought the news
that the Mexican insurrection had spoiled
the plans for one of the greatest golf
tournaments ever held. The club of Mex
leo City had intended to bring over the
big four and in addition secure all the
best players of the United States and pit
them against one another. The idea has
been abandoned, at least for this season,
and nothing has been said about its fu-
ture possibilities.

culties were found in the way of COM

on the bag. That incident had much to
do in convincing McAleer that there is
not much hope for Miller.
About the only player OH McAleers
squad who seems to have fallen out OF the
limelight entirely is Doc Ralston. he mas
played in but few games this spring and
it is a pretty fair guess to predict that
his return to Akron is but the matter OF
little time.
McAleer did not think very much OF
Ralston last fall and when he looked him
over this spring and saw that he had
not improved to any extent ne passed
him up and gave his attention to the
other youngsters.

he will not get chance with the Locals
may make good ball player with proper
handling. He stands up well enough at
the plate to be much better hitter than
he is, and as soon as he gets over bao
habit of taking a double swing at the
ball he will show up much better. For q
big fellow he is fast and fairly good
fielder, but there is something about him
that does not strike McAleer's fancy, and
this assures his return to the minors.
: These practice games are proving the
pitchers to be gradually rounding into
their best form. There has not been a
poorly pitched game for ten days at At

Indications are that the pitching this year

In the matter of getting in regular

since the team arrived at Atlanta. there
has OF been a single day that they could
not work. This is a remarkable record
for this time of the year and will have

Aleer is trying to break him of this bad
habit.

game. The kid" had six assists, and
the way he heaved them across looked
good enough for any one. He made two
mighty pretty stops among the six.
