Servinu His Countrv

A certain public Office has been the
object of much satire because OF tha
passive nature of the incumbent's du-
ties-except when he is called by tragic
occurrence into the thick of action. So
very negative. indeed. is the work Of
this public servant that he sometimes
serves his country most efficiently by
being absent, as appears in this extract
from Moses Colt Tyler's journal, wrir-
ten in Washington years ago:
president Grant never starts a con-
versation. but when II is started he
often says neat thing. Last year
there was an excursion down the Fo.
tomac. He was on board with his cabl-
net and quorum of both houses.
"'Mr. President said Mrs. Judd,
who sat near him. 1t would be pretty
bad thing TO have a great accident hap
pen to this party. Nearly the Whole
government would be destroyed
"'Yes. Mrs. Judd assented the pres
ident, but you observe that the vice
president has very prudently stayed ut
home.'"

MAJOR LEAGUE
MEETINGS Open
MANY IMPORTANT QUESTIONS
TO COME BEFORE NATIONAL
AND AMERICAN LEAGUE
MA G MATES.

New York, Dec. 11.-Some interest
ing reading for the baseball fans is
expected to be furnished by the series
.of meetings which begun here today
and will occupy the greater part of the
week. In addition to the annual
meetings of the National and American
leagues there will be meetings of the
National Commission, the National
Board of Arbitration, the Eastern
league and the Baseball Writers as
sociation.
The American league assembled to-
day to wind up the business Of the
past season and discuss preliminary
plans for the coming year. The season
of 1911 was a very successful one for
the leagues and as nothing has oc-
CURED to disturb the harmony among
the magnatcs the meeting was little
more than love feast.
Livelier proceedings are promised to-
morrow when the National league
meets in annual session. The recent
death of President Russell of the Bos-
ton club has caused a revival of the
talk of syndicate baseball" and Bar
rey Dreyfuss Of Pittsburgh, who has
led the fight against the so-called syn
dicates. will probably bring the matter
to the attention Of the directors. Rum
ors are still current that an attempt
viii be made to oust Thomas j.
Lynch from the presidency of the
league, but those i'm position to know
declared today that while the meeting
might develop some surprises the
passing of Lynch" certainly would
not be among them.
The special meeting of the National
Commission, the supreme governing
body in the baseball world, will trans
act considerable busines left over
from the recent Cincinnati meeting. 1t
Is considered doubtful, however, if
the commission viii devote much SER
ious attention to the charges of col

New York, Dec. 11.-Plans are un
der way to rematch the principals in
the late Reno tragedy. Rumors TO that
effect are current at rendezvous
where the sports are accustomed to
gather and talk Of the affairs of the
sporting world.
Work on second battle between
Jack Johnson, now the worlds undis.
puted heavy weight champion and
James J. Jenrios, the man who sue
cumbed to him in the divorce" town,
will begin at once.
1t is limited that Tex Rickard, the
man who launched the event which pu-
giistically lowered the status of the
white race. is the man behind the guns
for a second battle lie believes that
it will draw fully as well as it did on
the other occasion in view of the fact
that the public believes that Johnson
has been living a pace which no human
being engaged in athletics can stand
for any length of time
Rickard is said to have had several
interviews with both men and has Sc
cured the consent of each to another
battle. Johnson is expected in this city
in a short time, and then more deiin-
ite knowledge of the plans of the pro-
moters will be offered.
The old dope story is to be resur-
rected and given much publicity, and
much capital is to be made out Of
Jeffries' hunting trips These events
will be pictured as secret training
stunts, and Jeffries Will declare that he
never was in better shape.
Whore the match will be held is an
other matter. There is some talk that
Rickard will offer it to the sports in
Buenos Ayres, and then there is more
chat being passed out that the match
will go back TO Reno. The matter viii
develop in the course of a few days
and the full plans of the people behind
the project will be disclosed.

Fitzpatrick said. There is no
question in my mind but that there
are fewer Injuries in the game as It is
played today than under the old rules"
Mack said: "As long as there is
football there will be small injuries,
but the same can be said of any sport.
During the past season we have had
a large number of men laid up with
various injuries. such as muscle bruis-
es or spraincd ankles, but none were
SO seriously hurt as to cause any alarm.
In my estimation the new style of
game as played by the college team
offers less chance of injury than the
old style"

Talkinq Canaries 8.

Talking canaries are great rarity,
but several authenticated instances are
on record. At Norwood. England. in
1858 lady had canary bird which
began by repeating a word which its
mistress had often used to it-"Kissle,
kissie"-and by following the word up
by an imitation of the sound of kiss
After time the bird repeated other
words until 1t had large vocabulary
of phrases. one of which consisted Of
five words. Again, in 1868. a talking
canary was exhibited in Bath. with n
vocabulary such as is generally taught
to parrots, and another talking canary
was exhibited for q few weeks in this
country. but it unfortunately caught
cold and died. In Germany and the
Tyrol canaries are taught to initiate
the notes of other birds and whistle
simple tunes, and the words which it
initiates may be regarded as a mere
development or variant of its musical
notes.
