Athletics were here early this season
and his curves were hammered all over

Gordon Mackay, of the Philadelphia
Times, who is travelling with the Ath-
letics, always digs up few good stories
while the team is on the road. His lat
est effusion is on the subject OF freak
home run, as told him by Outfielder
Amos Strunk. Here's the yarn:
Talking about peculiar plays" said
Amos Strunk. Il saw one that had any,
thing ever read about skinned eight
ways from the ace. 1t was in Milwau-
kee when I played with the Brewers.
This happened one Sunday. We were
playing Toledo, think, and Newt Ran
dali, who was with the Cubs and sent to
US, was at the bat 1t is the custom out
there to sell beer to the bleacherites, and
everybody who is Dutch drinks beer and
watches the game, too. Up In the top
row of the bleachers close to the fence
was a stout little Dutchman with the
bottle tipped up and the suds gurgling
down his gullet. A bail was flung to
Randall, and he hit 1t an awful wallop.
Believe me or not that ball sailed into
the bleachers, knocked the bottle out of
the Dutchman's mouth and hand, and
carried it over the fence along with the
ball itself. It was a home run. The fun
niest thing I ever saw"
The statistical bug has II all figured
out that the Detroit Tigers have to win
only two games out Of three for the re-
mainder Of the season. Unless some club
can break last seasons record Of games
won and nose them out. Jennings men
can take a lot Of beating and still be '.in

Last year Patrick was out there in uni

Cleveland, Ohio May Cot was three
straight from Washington and five vic
tories in a row for the Maps to-day when
the locals captured the contest from the
Nationals, by to T. For seven innings
it was a pitchers battle between Groom
and Paige, the latter being the right
handler purchased from New Orleans a
week ago
In the eighth, with Cleveland only one
run to the good, the Maps proceeded to
score five tallies. and after chances had
been given to retire the side. This time
it was Cunningham's excusable tumble
Of Jackson's drive that did the damage
That would have made the second out
while Easterlys fly to Milan would have
made the third. But Cunningham's error
gave the Maps their chance. and they
made the best of II. five hits following
in quick succession. Paige finally cleared
the bases. sending three of his new team
mates across the plate.
Ainsmfth Sprafns Ankle.
The defeat was costly one in another
way for the Nationals, as Catcher Ain
smith twisted his ankle in turning third
base in the fourth inning and had to be
carried off the field. 1t was thought at
first that the member was broken, but a
bad strain is said TO be the extent of
the damage. He will be out of the game
for several days and in the meantime
Henry will be forced to do all the back
stopping.
Washington got three hits and two
bases on balls in the first inning. yet
scored only one run. Milan led of with
a single, and Schaefer and Lelivelt bunt-
ed safely, filling the bases. Elberfeld hit
into double play, Paige, Fisher to Sto-
vail. Gessler was passed .purposely, while
Mcbride also walked. scoring Schaefer.
Cunningham famed, leaving the bases
crowded
Cleveland tied the score in the second
on Stovalfs infeld hit. Birmingham's
sacrifice, and Balls single. The locals
took the lead IN the third, when Graney
scored on his pass, Jacksons hit, and
Easterly's fly to Gessler.
Washington tied the score in the sew
enth, when. with two out, Milan tripled
and scored when stovall dropped Olson's
throw on Schaefer's grounder.

Cleveland again took the lead in the

CORNELL FINISHES
FIRST IN REGATTA
Princeton Surprises Follow
ers by Good Showing.

Princeton, n. J., May 26-The Cornell,
Princeton, and Yale crews finished in the
order named in the triangular regatta
on Carnegie Lake this afternoon. The
surprise of the day was the showing of
lengths behind Cornell and were eight
lengths ahead of Yale
The race was for 1Y miles. and the time
was Cornell. 9 minutes 1 second; Prince
ton, 9 minutes 13 seconds; Yale, 8 min
utes IS seconds.
AT sos p. m. the crews lined UP.
Princeton caught the water first, but the
Ithacans were quick to recover, and shot
to the lead. Yale was a trailer from the
beginning. Throughout the race Cornell
Ecver rowed above 81 strokes to the min
ute. The Tigers rowed 80 until the final
sprint, when they hit IS. The Yale stroke
was 3S and 40.
Each of the contesting crews exhibited
a different style of rowing. Yale's was
the distinct English variety. The oarsmen
kept their backs perfectly straight in the
swing, but there was a tendency to fall
down on the finish, and this defect proved
fatal
Cornelrs stroke was almost the extreme
opposite Of Yale's and an almost perfect
Ol tue Well-knOWn
style. The backs of the men We're not
kept so rigid as those Of the Yale men,
but the Ithaca shell seemed to glide even
ly through the water with scarcely any
perceptible check between strokes.
The stroke of the Princeton eight was a
degree between that of Cornell and Yale.
There was a slight check in the running
of their boat, caused by thefendency Of
the men to give jerk to their sweeps
at the end of the stroke. The oars of the
Tiger shell are about an Inch shorter
than those of the other two boats, and
this made the Princeton oarsmen take
about one stroke faster to the minute
than the other crews.
The 1thacans simply wore out their ad-
versaries by their steady. untiring stroke
and were by far the freshest at the
finish,
The races were rowed under almost
ideal weather conditions. mild breeze

An Ancient Relic.

While digging for the foundations OF a
new public building on the south bank OF
the Thames, at Westminster Bridge, a
few weeks ago, British workmen came
upon the remains of genuine Roman
boat, or barge, the first craft of its kind
ever found in England, although several
ancient "dugouts" have come to light.
The boat was found twenty feet below
the surface and upon bed of white sand
which evidently formed the banks of the
Thames many centuries ago. About half
the boat remains. II was made wholly
of oak,-keel, ribs, beams and plankS,-
and was about seventy feet long and four
teen wide. II had no mast and was pro-
PEELED by oars. In 1t were found Roman
coins OF the first and third centuries, frag-
mentS OF leather shoes and scraps of pot
terry. One coin was of the Emperor Car
ausius, usurper who lived in the third
century. He rebeled against Rome and
held his own in Britain for seven years.
The historians say that he built fleet to
maintain his power, and it is not diff
cult stretch OF the imagination to fancy
that this old oaken barge was one of that
first British fleet over sixteen hundred
years ago.

TaIlest BuiIding In the World.

The-New York papers have recently
had considerable to say about a new
building which, when finished, will be
the third tallest building in the world,
which IS soon to be erected at Broadway
and Park Place in the metropolis. twill
have as stories and be 625 feet high, more
than dozen feet higher than the Singer
Building. II is TO be erected by Frank
Woolworth, who has made fame and for
tune through his 5-and-l0-cent stores.
His first venture in that line was made
in this city. The new structure, which
will cost $5,0O0.OO0. will be called the
Woodwork Building, and the man whose
name il bears has the money to pay the
bills. He made it out OF the 5-and-lO-
cent stores, OF which he now has 286,
and there are about 5000 persons in his
employ. Woolworth himself is not much
more than 60 years old. His career is
like that OF many another American and
is typical OF this country.
Frank Woolworth was born on farm
in Jefferson county, in the northern part
of this State, and though his father insist
ed that he should be farmer, the lad re-
fused, and when he was old enough Sc
cured the chance TO work for nothing in a
Watertown dry goo store, and at the
end of three months he was getting $3.50
a week. AT the end of six years his
sllary was only $40 week. He had
the idea and he put it into operation,
starting a store in Utica in February, 1879.
His first bill of goods, which, though
yellow with age. he still preserves, was
fer 1922 Ia, and when the Utica landlord
demanded his $50 a month rent in ad-
vance it came near to breaking the pro-
prietor. When Woodwork was q years
old his financial capital was just $50, and
aow it is many millions, which he has
made with his own hands in less than 80
years. Utica Press
