An Experiment with a Losing Bunch
Suggests Vast POssi-
bflitieH.

Ever heard Of a big league manager
ordering, compelling, forcing his players
TO get drunk?' queries big John Powell,
the veteran pitcher OF St Louis Browns
Seems absurd to even think OF, doesn't it?
And yet 1t happened with the St Louis
Browns as the compulsory jags, James
McAleer as the manager and the 1908 sea-
son as the period.
I'VE were going strong In 1908 the best
season the Browns had since the Amer
lean league was formed. Good pitching
oh, yes, / was one Of them-strong bat
ting, and hard. gtngery playing held US
well UP in the race. and II looked as II
We had more than a reasonable look in
for the flag. So determined were we all,
and so faithful TO our duties, that not~a
man in the crowd tasted anything
stronger than coffee, and tin angels were
not in it with the ST. Louis Browns
Midsummer came and still we held
that desperate pace. We were playing
our hearts out that was the truth OF it,
and suddenly We broke under the strain.
We began TO so down hill. Game after
game was lost. Our pitchers were hit
all over the surface OF the earth; our
fielding was shaky and miserable, and
none OF US could bat One night, after
supper in Washington, 1 think it was,
and just before We were due to retire,
Jim McAleer called US all together.
You fellows" said McAleer. are worn
out, all in. and gone stale. You have been
playing beyond your strength. and living
like fighters in strict training. Every
man on this ball club will go out and get
roaring drunk. That goes for everyone
II any man on this team comes into this
hotel tonight sober, will fine him $50
oh such a night, such a night Twen-
ty-two bali players with the team, and
twenty 1.-TWO frightful jags came rolling back
at all hours from to L McAleer himself,
oryeyed and wobbly. stood by the desk to
see that no man came back sober, and no
man did. There were drunks that night
who never drank before, and there were
DRINKS that had been overdue for many
a moon.
I'VE were on the field next day with
twenty-five hangover jags. l saw blue
moons ana black roses round them while

insisted that his base had been moved TO

my life. and the batting was glorious.
"on the train that night every man had
his pockets bullying. One fellow had ten
quarts of whisky hidden in his clothes
AL the way to St. Louis We were stewed
piped, polluted spifficated and burned
And when we landed in St Louis we won
five straight games without the slightest
difficulty. The jag by orders had brought

the balance OF the season. sober again, but
happy. We played oorking good ball.

WHERE ACoUAINTANCES DO
NOT KNOW NAMES OF OTHER
In Little Old New York Girl Partners
I'm Fiat Are Sometimes Really
Strangers.

When a young man or woman has just
come TO the city 10 earn living loneliness
is what he expects and generally finds
but there is another class Of workers that
lie often just as thoroughly isolated without
really suspecting 1t, says the New York
Times After several years OF reasonable
success the newcomers have a circle Of
friends on whom they can rely, and they
feel very much at home until something
occurs to show them the difference,
Two women in New York had shared an
apartment for three years. One was
Boston woman, the other from Philadel-
phia. They had not been intimate before
sharing the fiat, and they did not become
90 afterward. They got on together per-
fectly. met at meals, and then generally
went 10 their respective sitting rooms and
chatted with friends who might come IN.
Each circle met the other occasionally,
and everybody was social without mixing
TO any extent.
One day a New York friend OF the BOs-
ton woman was dining at the apartment.
She told a story OF q young man who had
fallen suddenly III in ais rooms and had
lain at the point OF death for three days
before the landlsdy could find his rela-
tives, though they lived few blocks away.
The two women exclaimed at the story.

partner, Just notify this girl here"-signi-

Tying the New Yorker-"and she win let
my people in Boston know at once"
But" said the Philadelphia, turning
an amazed face on the other two, NOW l
think OF it, I haven't the slightest idea
where Jessie lives" For three years they
had met occasionally and had liked each
other well enough TO use Christian names,
and it had never dawned on them that
they were, in way, as thoroughly
strangers as two people who find seats side
by side in a street car.
Probing further into their Ignorance, it
was discovered that the Boston girl could
not have found her partners relatives
either. After three yearaNof living together
she knew that her friend visited an Aunt
Mary" who lived near the city. but she had
always referred 20 her as Aunt Mary, +"
too. and had forgotten the last name, II
ever she knew IL And the Philadelphia,
for her part, knew even less.
Yet they say women cannot mind their
own business!

for 1911 is placed at $4,000 600. and for the
whole ten years in which the automobile
has been a common means Of conveyance
would not average less than s5O.O0OOoO a
year. The early machines, though few in
number were extremely expensive toys.
There are no figures extant that give a
complete showing OF the number Of cars
that have been "scrapped' during the ten
years. AS a car becomes out Of date It

town and from there into the country OF TO
some less progressive section. But few OF
the cars in use during the first two or
three years OF the decade are now service
able In addition II is estimated that g. 900
cars have been ruined In accidents, fires,
etc. 1t is probably a small figure to place
the number of cars discarded during the
ten years at 5000. with an average value
Of 81 800 making a total Of S75,0O0000 to be
added to the total expenditures for the
ten years.
Per Capita Expense e17.O2.
Giving the Illinois cars an average value
Of 81, 900 brings total OF S4S 100000. with a
maintenance cost for ten years of a like
sim. With a population Of 66Ss59l. this
gives only one car for 1909 persons, but
the cost w to date has been such that
divided among all the men, women and
children in the state, the thousands who
do not have cars, there has been a per
capita expense Of s17.O2 The national debt
amounts to only S11.5S per capita

Travelled 10000 miles last year at a cost
for maintenance and repairs OF S9s,557, a.
In making this mileage the chauffeurs drew
81, $40 in wages. Storing the machines
cost S12,554.27. These items OF expense
bring the 1910 total up to S17s,57O.s1. Presi-
dent Steers Of Brooklyn operated twelve
Of these cars His mileage was SS.725 and
his gasoline and repair bill amounted to
s9,442-l8. The machines cost 50, ESQ.
The automobile manufacturers appear to
be confident that the outlay for motor
vehicles has only begun. Within the last
two years two big motor combinations have
been formed, and plants are being enlarged
everywhere. The demand for pleasure ma
chimes seems to be growing constantly and
the truck business, though only in its in
fancy, has unlimited possibilities At the
present time there is S275O 600 invested in
the business Of producing automobiles and
motor trucks.-Chicago Tribune.
