WALTER JOHNSON SAYS
 M'ALEER WILL RELEN1

Coffeyvi11e, Kan, April 10-WaIter Johnson, who has won his place at the top among the star twirlers in the big baseball leagues, and who has been working out with the Washington team at Atlanta, Ga, arrived home yesterday morning. Johnson failed to agree with Manager McAleer, of the Senators, as to the salary he is to receive this season. and the result was that the young twirler was sent back to the farm. Johnson demanded $7,5O0 for his services and refused to start the season for less. Washington of fered $6,5OO. In an interview here, Johnson said:
 1T expect to be at home only a day or two-a few days at most. expect to join the team. I believe I am worth to the team what I asked. At least I am going to get all I can. and I expect to hear from McA1eer in a couple of days. I believe we will get together"
 In regard to the disagreement be- tween Johnson and his manager, he said: "McAleer wanted me to sign up for $6,50O and I thought I ought to have $7,500 We had several confer ences and could not get together. A few days ago he told me that Presi- dent Moves had notified him to let me go unless I signed by last Thursday, and he told me he would give me until that time to sign up.
 'I told him that I could give him my decision right there and that he could buy me a ticket home and save
 my hotel expenses. He came to me Thursday and asked what had con cluded to do and I told him that I had not changed my mind and was
 ready for my ticket to CoffeyVille. That's all there is to it."

BIG BANQUET FOR CRACK KRAMBLERFIVE

On Saturday evening at Lehmann's shore house in Seaview avenue, the members of the Rambler basketball team, winners of the City League pen nant and claimants of the city cham pionship, celbrated the close of their successful season in the form of a banquet. Every member of the club was called upon for song, while MT. Beardsley presided at the piano. Duf- ing the midst of the festivities mes sage was received to the effect that there was a goat waiting outside for Manager Ash. On investigation Man ager Ash found the angora with the initials ''C. T.'' thereon. It could not have been possible that this goat was the property of Glare, as the Ram blers had his goat long ago. Two of the toasts responded to were:
 To Manager Ash: Here's to our Manager with his smile
 Of success,
 When playing the game he's always
 at best.
 Who showed the Boys Club that he
 also knew
 A thing about manag ging his Ramblers
 true.
 To Captain Goodwin: Here's to our captain, Goodwin by
 name,
 Here's to his name, Goodwin by fame. Good, the first syllable, is he at his
 best,
 Win Is his motto, when given a test. Manager Ash was extended a vote of thanks for his successful seasons work. As a short story entertainer, MT. Beardsley carried off the laurels, with Herb Leaster a close second. At the close, the Ramblers gave three rousing cheers for their host, Otto Lehman

VERBECK AND HUST WIN
 "A HOUR AUTO RACE

Los Angeles, Cal, April 10-Driving an Italian Fiat of 60 horsepower, Val entine Hust and Frank Verbeck, won the twenty-fOur hour race over the Playa Del Key motordrome yesterday. They made the remarkable score of 1,4s1 miles, an average of 62 Is miles an hour, which breaks the American record of 1,253 miles made by Poole and Paschke with a Stearns car at Brighton beach August 20 last
 An American Cadillac of 30 horse power. driven by Adair and Baudette, was second with a score of HAS miles, an average of more than sixty miles an hour. Ten cars started at o'clock Saturday afternoon and seven finish ed.
 The race was noteworthy on account of freedom from tire trouble and ac- cidents as we'll as because of the great mileage of the first and second cars.
 The race was the first of the kind to be run on a specially constructed speedway in America. The Brighton Beach course is one-mile dirt track used for horse racing, while the mo- tordrome here is a one-mile board course with steep banking.
 The greatest score ever made for twenty-four hours driving was made by F. Edge with Napier car over the Brool<lands, Eng, speedway in l9UI. EuSe cOFeTeu I,0OU niles, put it was a record trial and not a con- petition event
 The Cole made a good showing dur ing the early hours of the race, but broke two pairs of cylinders and was off the track for two hours Following was the standing of the cars at the finish:
 Fiat, first, 1,491 miles; Cadillac, sec ond LAS miles; Cole, third, 1,219 miles; Cutting, fourth, 1,1S6 miles; Warren Detroit fifth, 1.167 miles; Croxton, sixth, 1,153 miles; Schalcht, seventh, l. O13 miles. The Velie. Cameron and E. M F. did not finish.

The word duke comes from the Latin "dux,'' leader. In early Saxon times the commanders of armies were called dukes-i. e., the leaders of the soldiery- In other words. the first duke was the first best fighting man. No regard was had to ancestry or,present attainments or any other sort of thing beyond the simple matter of warlilze efficiency.

Red hail is not unknown, even Tn Great Britain. for in May of 1885 there was quite a heavy fall of it at Castle wellan, in County Down. Red and white fell together, and the red hue was not merely on the surface of the pellets, but went through and through When one was squeezed between fhe fingers it stained them.
 At Minsk. in Russia, an even strap ger hail shower had fallen five years before. Some of the pellets were ring shaped. and. while some were distinctly reddish. others were a bright blue Some scientists declare that the color ing is due to various mineral salts.

YALE MAY ERECT
 ! s6OO,0Oo STADIUM
(Special from United Press.) )

. New Haven. April 10.-Plans for formally launching the new Yale here. this week. The first meeting of the special committee da1 of alumni 11 to take charge of the project IS scheduled for April 1914. Many graduates and football authorities are expected to present their views either in person or in writing.
 As the date for the committee meeting approaches the conviction is growing in we'll informed circles that Yale will get a stadium. Probably ss0o.eoo will be needed to finance the building and one of the greatest problems before the committee IS how to raise this sum. The hope has been abandoned that a single donor would step forward to present the necessary amount although plenty of opportunity was given the sports to attach their names to the stadium. The funds will come. it is believed, rom the sale of bonds and private subscription. The income from foot ball is expected to make promising such an investment.
