SHRUBB'S NEW RECORD.
English Runner Beats Longboat and
Lowers Prices Figures,

PITTSBURG, Pa, January 11.-New
worlds record was established by AL
fred Shrubb, the noted English long
distance runner, at Duquesne Garden
last night, when he defeated Tom
Longboat by over two laps in their
ffteen-mile race Shrubb negotiated the
distance in 1.20 2-5, as against the
worlds record held by Jack Price, who
chalked up a mark Of 1.21.4O at Glas-
cow. Scotland, August 10, 1910.
The race was a good one from
Shrubb's standpoint. At first Longboat
seemed inclined to make matters in
teresting, but after awhile he grew ill
and for more than three laps he ran
like man in a dream. At the finish
the Indian was plainly in distress,
while his vanquisher was running cas-
lily and without apparent effort. Shrubb
gained the first lap on his opponent
during the sixth mile. Up until that
perfectly at ease. However, when he
began showing signs of distress the
crowd wakened to the fact that there
was something amiss ,and begged and
pleaded with Tom to make matters in
teresting.
out by Shrubb was thrilling one, and
even had Longboat not been taken ill
it is more than doubtful whether he
could have won. The time was fast
all the way. With the exception of the
fourth mile Shrubb led all the way
Prior to the race Percy Smallwood
and Hughey Bruce were introduced,
the race Shrubb declared himself as
willing and anxious to meet the Welsh
flyer, as we'll as Bruce, and it may be
that a race will be arranged.

Friends Worth Having.
From the Baltimore Sun.

Nearly every essayist OF note. ancient
and modern, has had something to say
about friendship: but 1t is doubtful il any
one of them, from Plato or Cicero TIL
now, has ever said truer thing about IL
than the eminent English analyst, HaZ-
litt when he remarked that ''he will
never have true friends who Is afraid of
making enemies" OF course he didn't
mean that every one who does not fear
to make enemies is sure to have friends.
There are a few other requisites for
friendship besides mere fearlessness or
tuted that they can easily make enemies
ca apable of making real friends. 1t is not
question of the man with "a chip on
his shoulder" of the disagreeable indi
vidual who is always looking for trouble.
and loves fighting for its own sake. The
kind of man HaZlitt had in mind Is the
moral weakling, the peace-at-any-price
man who will sacrifice his convictions
or conceal them when duty demands an
open avowal-rather than give onense
True enough. peace and compromise are
praiseworthy at times-in matters OF no
great moment. 1t is not necessarily a
mark of weakness to yield, or at least TO
keep silence for the sake OF harmony,
when self alone is i'm question. or when
there is no sound principle at stake. Hut
certainly there are times when We must
speak out our mind-when the issue Is
matter of deep and settled CONVICTION
and at such times no considerations oi
peace, or any other consideration, can
ever justify a veering, temporizlng.

Domestic Virtues.
From the London TeleSra oh.

From the London Telegraph.
Speaking at Dewsbury, at the opening
of ''homemaking'' school, Mr.. Runci-
man, NJ. p. president of the board of
education, said that during the last two
years the number of classes in domestic
subjects had gone up by leaps and bounds.
When he came into Office he found for
instance, that there We're i'm cookery
something like 1.iS0 classes in England
and Wales. Now there were we'll over
2.CCO. The number of laundry centers had
increased from 400 to $50, and in the
combined domestic subjects covering cook
cry, laundry work and housekeeping there
had been an increase from S3 to nearly
$50. At one day school in Leeds the en-
thusiastic headmistress had been doing
most excellent work for some years. She
believed, to use her own words, that she
girl to be perfect wife and mother, and
and nobility of managing house. This
ideal in elementary schools might well
be copied all over the country; but it was
by no means easy to combine all that
you could wish for in the ordinary cur
riculum of everyday school work. The
limitations of elementary schools could
be overcome, and were being overcome, in
'hOmemaking centers, of which, unfortu-
nately, very few examples existed at
present. He believed that before long it
would be found necessary in every part
of the. county area to have institutions
OF the same character as that they were
opening in Dewsbury.

LUCKY SILVER SPRING.
cy Cummings to Manage Its Ball
Team This Year.

1t was reported authoritatively this
morning that after careful consideration
'Cy'' Cummings, member of the Maryland
legislature and one Of the most enthusi-
astic base, ball fans in this vicinity, has
accepted an offer to manage and coach
the Silver Spring team of the Suburban
League this season.
Members of the Silver Spring base
ball squad were recently called together
at the home of Floyd CisselI. treasurer OF
the club at which time plans for the
coming season We're discussed. The Sc
lection of a manager was one of the
most important subjects brought up and
no sooner had the name of Cummings
been presented when all discussion
ceased. He seemed to be the unanimous
choice Of all present and unless the un-
foreseen happens will be seen at the helm

From the Majors.

Former major league ball players ap-
pear to be in demand this winter as man.
ayers of minor league clubs. The Ohio
and Pennsylvania League, which recently
elected George Moreland of Pittsburg as
president, has been unusually active in
trying to gather in former big leaeuers to
head the various teams. Morelands first
big stroke was when he induced BILLY"
Gilbert, the former second baseman of
the New York Giants. to become man
ager of the Erie team. Now Moreland
is angling after two other players who,
when in their prime, were terrors to the
opposing pitchers.
One Of these men is Socks Seybold.
the former right fielder of the Athletics
and the other is Ed Abbaticchio. who
played with the Boston and Pittsburg
National League clubs. Seybold is very
anxious to secure the position Of manager
and he may also play first base. Socks :"

Keesport, SO that he is familiar with the
territory.
