JAPS NOW TAKE
TO THE PASTIME

In the United States, baseball de-
serves the title of national game, not
only because e. has more devotecs
than any other outdoor amusement
and not alone because this country
perfected the sport and brought IL 10
its present form. but also because II
Is essentially a game of no one race
or creed. In looking over the rosters
of the big teams. while the irish, Ger
man. French and English names pre-
dominate, still the patronymies OF the
Indian, the Pole, the Italian, tho
Swede, the Russian and the Cuban
may be found there.
This has been so almost since the
time that leagues were formed and
baseball came into prominence, which
has increased with every playing sea-
son. In the early eighties Vincent
Nava a Cuban, was one of the first
string catchers OF the Providence
team. Another Cuban will train with
a big league team this spring.
In the nineties SockaleXis flashed
like a comet across the major league
horizon. This Indian left-helder batted
1871 for Cleveland in 1897 and tielded
like a whirlwind. He and Pappalau
proved that tho red man could profit
ably desert the warpath for the base
paths The original Americans arc
represented in the major leagues to-
day. Charles A. Bender, a Carlisle
School man, led the American pitch
ers last year by winning twenty-three
out Of twenty-eight games for the
Athletics.
Zach Wheat whose mother was the
daughter of a Cherokee chieftain. was
one Of the finds of 1909, and will add
strength TO the Brooklyn team again
this season. John T. Myers. full

won many a contest of 1910 by his
work with the war club. and has
proved himself as well a good catcher

HOPES RUN HIGH
FOR 1911 REMNANT
Only St. Louis and Boston
Without Rosy AntlCi-
paticnS
DREAMS ARE SWEET
UP IN NEW YORK

Pennant hopes spring up eternaliy
in the baseball breast. Although but
two teams out of sixteen in the major
leagues can capture bunting, yet the
supporters OF a majority Of the re-
naming teams nurse hopes that their
favorites may come in first.
Possibly the fans OF St. Louis have
no expectations, so far as the Browns
are concerned. and It is not unlikely
that the Boston enthusiasts are not
filled with rosy anticipaiOns as to a
whirlwind finish by the Doves. But
those two cities are exceptions to the
rule.
Up i'm New York, they are filled with
the liveliest hopes as to their chances,
and the only trouble is their uncer-
tainty as TO whether they will capture
the National League bunting through
the efforts of the Giants, or the Amer
lean League flag by reason of the SUI
periOr play Of the Yankees.
Detroiters feel that their boys Will
nose out the Athletics, although no;
being very certain as TO the sOlidity
Of several positions on the nine.
Comiskey is said to be negotiating
+ for a pennant pole. and in Cleveland
Deacon Mcclure is reported to be
overlooking with confidence.
II the trip OF the Boston Red SoN
to the Pacific coast does not enable
/ them to win the flag this season, they
viii probably train in the Sandwich
/ Islands next spring.
I'm Washington there is a strong
/ feeling that II McAleer succeeds in de-
velopmg ono or two good men out of
! his young blood the Nationals will
give an excellent account of them
selves from start TO finish.

V.-Bumpine the Bumps In the Air

est fight with the bumps" in the ali
The weather was ideal for climbing
1t was cold, but the air was fairy still.
and the first few thousand feet of my
ascent were made smoothly and with
out much difficulty in a steady rise
that was almost mechanical in its ex
actness.
The Paragraph record is interesting
in showing the progress of this fight.
For those who do not know 1t may be
well to explain that the Paragraph Is
an instrument which registers altitude,
and by means of a pen point filled
with indelible ink it records the varia-
ton in a constant line on q piece OF
paper which is moved around by clock
work.
Story Told by Barograph.
This Paragraph record shows that In
the first fifteen minutes l rose to q
height Of $500 feet. The increasing
difficulties Of the climb are indicated
by the fact that at the end Of the next
fifteen minutes l was only about 1900
feet high. but the line traced by the
pen up to this point is fairly steady,
and only when it passes the 1000 foot
mark does it begin to waver. It was
during this part of my fight that the
strain began to tell upon me and the
steadiness of my climb was interrupt
ed by frequent descents.
In the next few minutes l got my
self together better, for the line shows
a sudden jump Of nearly thousand
feet in about five minutes, and then 1t
is plain to be seen that my troubles
began. for the line from $500 feet
to the topmost limit, which was graft
fyingly close to the 10000 mark. Is lit

other words. have you ever tasted OF
the excitements of dumping the

Is just what we do when we climb
for height; we engage in aerial rough
riding. Sometimes we do 1t vOlun-
tarily, but most Of the time the "bump"
comes with the complete and sudden
surprise that spells disaster for us
unless we are on the alert to cope
with its difficulties.
I think may claim without boast
ing that l have done more altitude
work than any man now living. Twice
I have set the worlds height mark. but
in my practice work I have made sew

more notable than those which were
