season of denials in the capitol Re-
Gently whisperings of changes in the

they multiplied so rapidly and as
stunned such distorted shapes that they
led to vigorous denials from the white
house authorities. The two in parti-

were the resignation of Secretary of

walton of Mr.. Taft's secretary, Charles
d. Norton, to the place, and the ele-

1t is wonderful that there are as
few thieves among the many thou
sands of clerks who handle the mails,
for great temptations surround them,

clerk to slip letters into his pocket

which Justice Brooke reduced to

The Shadow of Science.
Browning

1t is hard to believe that shadow
is probably the origin Of all astrono-
mical, geometrical and geographical
science. The first man who fixed his
staff perpendicularly in the ground
and measured its shadow was the
earliest computer of time, and the
Arab of today who plants his spear in
the sand marks where the shadow
falls is his direct descendant. 1t is
from the shadow Of a gnomon that
the early Egyptians told the length
of the year. It is from the shadow Of
a gnomon that the Inhabitants of Up
per Egypt still measure the hours Of
work for a water wheel. In this case
the gnomon is lhurra stalk support
ed on forked uprights and points north
and south. East and west are pegs
in the ground, evenly marking the
space of earth between sunrise and
sunset. In a land of constant sun
shine shadow was the primitive

tive foot rule.

Catching runners OF FIRST base is an

Catching runners OF FIRST base is an
art few pitchers have developed.
Jimmy Collins, at one time the great
est third baseman In the game, is an
authority on baseball. He says in dis
cussing the art Of mailing runners:
ED Walsh Of the Chicago White
Sox." says Collins, "is the hardest
pitcher have ever played against
when it comes to getting a lead of
first Let me tell you right now that
Walsh has the most battling motion
OF any pitcher In the country, bar
none. l, myself, think it is a clear
case Of balk when Walsh winds up
and then slaps the ball over to first.
But no umpires have called him for
It, except in one or two cases, where
the offense was palpable.
There are only few runners, men
like Eddie Collins and Ty Cobb. who
dare to take more than a couple of
feet lead of first when Walsh is in
the box. They depend on excessive
speed to beat the ball to first, but
sometimes even they are fooled. You
never can tell what Walsh is going
to do until you actually see the bats
man swing at the ball. Then you
know that Walsh has pitched to the
plate.
Next to Walsh I place that crafty
Indian, Bender Of the champion Ath-
letics. You simply have to keep your
eyes on Bender all the time while Won
are loafing around first base or he
will outguess you. For that matter,
he often outwits you even when you
are watching him. think that's one
of the reasons Bender has developed
into a leading pitcher.
