Many Former Majors Stock
the Minor League Teams

Never before In baseballs history has
the national pastime held such golden
opportunities for the profession as at
present. says a special from New
York. This Is simply because the
game has grown SO popular with the
country at large that the major
leagues can no longer take care OF all
the stars. Two big minor leagues
the Eastern and American association
are now almost the equals OF the
majors In playing strength. This has
been proved repeatedly I'm exhibition
games. Let one OF the big fellows
hobble and the humber minor will
win invariably.
A glance at the reserve list OF the
Eastern league proves the point. II
is still two months before the baseball
season will be ushered in. Yet al
ready the eight Eastern league clubs
have procured thirty-two players who
last year entertained major league
fandom.
Take peep at the Eastern league
rosters. Joe Kelly, OF Toronto, who
is out for John Cancels scalp and his
pennant, seems to have a strange
hold on the erstwhile big fellows. Joe
has lined up seven players from the
major league races Of 1910. Wee

Giants: Bill Bradley, Cleveland's clev.

Proctor X. Owens campaign affairs
seem to lap over from one season to
another. With the primary Just -com'
pleted In which he was defeated for
q place on the judicial ticket, he was
witness In Justice DeGaw's court,
Friday morning, in suit for an auto

his campaign for mayor last fall.
On the night of Nov. 1, Owens, with
Robert Hall, his campaign secretary;
Capt. George c. Waldo and two news
paper men was going from one meet
ing to another in an automobile, when
II was struck by the machine OF the
police department flying squadron, at
Macomb and Beaubien-sts. All the
occupants were thrown out, according
to Owens, and Hall was slightly In
jured. The suit is brought by John ],
knight and WILTON Dowjay, compos'
ing the Sunbeam Auto Livery Co.,

partment chauffeur. for damages to

Ending of Political Campaign Has
Caused Athletes To Seek Other
Amusements.
BY PAUL HALE sRuskE.

MONROE, La, March 3.-After
yesterdays stiff practice when Jen-
nings made the athletes swing the
clubs until their arms fairly ached
and then had them take several mile
runs, the Tigers resumed their work
outs today, showing little effect OF
their strenuous past. The boss order
that all of the men keep on OF the
streets Thursday during thep rimary
elections also resulted In all the Tig-
erettes showing up this morning alto
gether with no bullets In their bodies.
Roosevelt's strenuous life looks
mild when compared with the strenu-
Gus life which Hughie Jennings and
Joe Sugden are leading the Tigers.
From the time the athletes arrive on
the field until they leave-and that Is
twice day--everybody is kept going
at full speed but the boys are making
big Improvement.
Jennings has received a number OF
requests from southern cities for =
series between the Tigers and other
teams but he has been forced to deny
the requests as the southern schedule
has already been prepared.
Now that the political campaign is
over, there remain but two sources of
evening amusement open to the ath-
letes The moving picture theater got
an awful play for time but has been
falling of In popularity. As the pic
lures ceased to charm, Mr.. Jennings
young men have turned to the hotel
pool parlor.
Never, it is safe to say, has so much
pool been played before, In Monroe's
green-tabled emporium. There are
desultory games through the daytime
but, Immediately after supper In the
evening, every member of the team
repairs to the pool parlor and remains
until bedtime. There are four tables
three for pool and one for billiards.

It Is not unreasonable to expect
that this great exodus of major league
talent to the big minor leagues will
stop with those players named above
The Eastern league generally gets
first chance at the surplus OF major
league clubs In the east just as the
American association gets more OF the
castoffs OF Western major league
teams. In the American association
today can be found q score or more
of players well known to the fans OF
big league cities. Minor leaguers to
day not only develop for the majos
leagues the timber necessary to W
plant waning stars, but also pr
a field of usefulness for those whom
the Youngsters drive out.

Ryron's "Bride Of Abydos."


It was after Lord Byron arrived in
Greece that be wrote that beautiful
poem "The Bride Of Abydos'' and that
exquisite song the maid Of Athens"
which, says Paris contemporary,
every Englishman Of culture knows by
heart. Documents enable US to estab-
lish the true. identity Of the heroine
Of this poem. She was one Of the
three daughters Of Mr.. Black, English
vice consul at Athens, sat9whese. house
Byron for some time lived. After the
departure OF, the poet Theresa Black
married an archaeologist, M. Pittakis,
whose widow she became several
years later. Her beauty. her charm,
her elegance, conquered every heart,
including Byron's. In 1873 the hero
Inc Of the poet was an old woman of
upright figure and still showing signs
Of her former beauty. With age had
come poverty. The London Times,
moved by her distress, opened at this
epoch subscription in her favor. She

The Gun Charmers,

Among the more superstitiously in
clined of the sporting -Cingalese are
gun charmers, who allege that gun
may be charmed in different ways and
by different methods. An essential
part of the process, however, appears
to be the muttering of certain formu'
lac. ~
A gun, the ~charmers say, may be
charmed in any one of the following
four ways: U So that it will wound
the animal fred at, but will not kill
outright; (2) so that he who carries it
shall find nothing worth shooting; 81
so that it will not kill anything flying,
but will kill animals that run. and
az so that it will not kill anything
that runs, but will kill anything flying.
No gun can be charmed at all If the
owner takes the precaution Of rubbing
some pork fat on the barrel or at
taches piece of the outer skin of the
rat snake to the stock in such way
that it cannot be seen.

Does This Effect Bemidii?

In the first place, an organization
of retailers should be effected and
maintained outside of the regular
commercial club which includes all
enterprises. How many times have
you seen three or four business
houses that seemed to do the adver-
Using for the whole town? The
wonder is, that any merchant can
sit down and let some other mer-
chant draw his thade from him.
1t is quite true that tile non-ad-
vertiser reaps the benefit to some ex-
tent of the enterprise of the mer-
chant that does advertise; but what
a sponge! He is like the fellow
who never pays anything for a
Fourth of July celebration or any
other booster movement, but is al
ways "Johnnie-on-the-spot," to get
his share of the proceeds.
From the retailers organization
just mentioned, should come an ar
rangement by which all live con-
Germs, shall agree to take a greater
or less advertising space in the To-
cal newspapers and shall take such
space regularly and Systematically
There is no reason for making the
matter of advertising such a buga-
boo. 1t is no greater problem than
forty others that merchants meet
and conquer.
This systematic advertising is dir
ferert from the spasmodic efforts
that some towns put forth, like mar
ket day or special bargain push that
may be O. X. for a diversion, but will
come to the trade as bait. It prob
ably will be taken for what it is
worth, but will never make substen
tial, steady trade.-Dry Goods Re-

How 4 Goal Fire spro$eets ltsak.


A curious ray in which a fire in the
heart of coal pile keeps ltself from
being put out is noted in a mining
journal. Such fires often start in the
interior of large piles Of coal owing
to heat developed by slow oxidation,
which is prevented by the size Of the
pile from escaping into the. air. Such
fires are difficult to put out owing to
the fact that the burning mass turns
the coal around it into coke, which is
nearly impervious to water. The pile
may thus be thoroughly drenched
without putting ont thesf fire, which 1t
never really reaches. The only way
to deal with the situation is to drive
into the pile a sharpened iron pipe,
long enough to reach the burning coal,
and then to couple hose to the upper
end and turn on the water.

Where Plato TAUGHT.

The famous academy of Plato was
in suburb of Athens, about a mile
north of the Dypilum gate. 1t is said to
have belonged to the hero Academus;
hence the name. 1t was surrounded
with wall and adorned with walks,
groves and fountains. Plato possessed
a small estate in the neighborhood and
for some fifty years taught his divine
philosophy" to young and old assem-
bled in the academy to listen to his
wise words. After Plato's death In
84S B. G. the academy lost much Of it's
fame, but the beauty remained for
centuries after the great teacher was
no more.-New York American.

SENATOR SUNDBERG AND OTHERS IN The

Senator Sundberg, who represents
the counties of Kittson, Roseau and
Marshall, is a Norwegian by birth,

working and most of the time SEN
sible, sons of Norway who have come

regarding two other Minnesota men
and because there is a close connect
ion between the two articles we re-
produce them both.
Some three years ago George S.
LOTUS of Minneapolis, a reformer
of the "do-it-now'' type, turned up
at the office of James Manahan, his
lawyer. "Jim,' he said, 81 want
you to sue the Pullman Company"
"What for?" ooh, just sue them,
and charge that their rates are ex-
orbitant. I got in from Chicago
this morning. had an upper
berth, and couldn't sleep, and they
charged me just as much as 1 would
have to pay for lower" Mana
han drafted an innocent looking
complaint, saying, in few words, that
Pullman rates were unjust. There
was no technical verbiage. He
mailed this to the Interstate Com
merce Commission at Washington.
Three months later Manahan was
notified by mail that in ten days a
special examiner would be in St..
Paul prepared to hear Loftus's case
Up to that date all the evidence
Lotus and his lawyer had was Lof-
tus's one sleepless night on the
train. On the morning of the hear
ing the court room was filled with
ex-Pullman porters. It was proved
that the porters received $25 a
month, out of which they had to
pay for their meals on the road and
their uniforms. They were COM
PEELED to replace all towels, combs
and other lost articles. The public
practically paid their salaries in tips

Pullman Company earned $4,000 an
nually: on cars that cost them $751;
