What Presidents of Riual Leagues
Think of Battle for Worlds Title
BY THOMAS ]. LYNCH
President of National Ledoue.)

There Is only one thing needed TO
make the year 1911 the greatest In the
history OF the National League. and
that Is to have the Giants win thu
worlds championship. Such a VIC
tory will come as a fitting climax to
one OF the most spirited races we
have ever had. The New York team
won after a keen fight with four
other teams. and It now remains for
II 4 recapture the worlds flag from
the American League. McGraw's men
have a fine chance to do this. and
we hope that the big banner will
hoat over the Polo Grounds next
year.

Instantly Calhoun Clay rose and
left the church. He was very
angry. He brought several
powerful influences to bear, and
the deacon promised to apologize.
So at the next meeting the old man

On returning from the servi ces
an old lawyer was asked by another

"For once old George could not

TIPS OF ROYALTY

A german newspaper publishes
some particulars Of the tips and
gratuities distributed by royal
pcrsonages on their travels. The
kaiser has tariff that provides
with German bureaucratic
thoroughness for every claim upon
his generosity when travelling, and.
what is more, every recipient gets
what has been allotted to him. 1t is
different in the case of Nicholas
II, certainly the richest man in the
old world. and most likely of the
new as we'll. The Russian emperor
lacks the money sense entirely, like
his grandfather. an the gifts of
various kinds arranged for his
travels are on scale Of amazing
extravaganza. But by the time
they reach the henefciaries they
have shrank to average proportions
owing to graft. 1t is even said on
the best possible authority that the
jewels of the decorations which
his majesty bestows on the
dignitaries Of foreign courts
invariably are found to have turned
into paste while in transit to their

pincers in my ovrrcoat pocket.
With them l bent the offensive pin
