Social Functions.
With the "tumnlt and shouting over
as the result of the National election,
the carpenters and joiners have COM
menced the construction Of cabinet
for Preside Mt. elect Woodrow Wilson
and the names already suggested. give
some indication of how the various
elements in the Democratic party view
their tremendous victory.
William Jennings Bryan, the "War-
wick of the il coming administration,
is generally "outed'' for Secretary of
Stale, although there are those who
believe that the "Commoner" would
rather be a free lance than attach
himself to the person of the President
in a ministerial capacity. believing
that he could do the party greater
good in the open than by holding down
a cabinet position. Undoubtedly Try
an can have the choice Of any posi-
ton should he SO desire.
Louis Brapdeis, of Boston, is among
the favored ones suggested for Attor-
nev General although William F. Nc
Combs, Chairman of the National Dem
ocratic committee, must be also reck'
oned with, as he has been tower OF
strength for Wilson. and as he isa law
yer of repute, might find the Depart.
ment of Justice to his liking.
1t is generally believed that Con-
gresham Albert S. Burleson, CT Tex
a., will be accorded cabinet positi
and possibly may accept the Interior
portfolio, although it is known that
he has a leaning toward the Secretary
ship of Agriculture. But DR.. Harvey
8. Wiley, late Chief Chemist of the
Department. of Agriculture, is seri-
ously mentioned for the head Of the
Department with which he has been
come ted so many years.

may possibly become "headsman" of
the new administration more gener.
ally known As the Postmaster Gen.
eral.
The White House during the next
will undoubtedly be
scene of many charming social func-
tons, President-elect Wilson having
three most interesting and charming
daughters, who, while intellectually
inclined, are not adverse to society,
and since their distinguished father
has filled the Gubernatorial Office in
Trenton, these young ladies have been
called upon to do their share of OFF,
cial entertaining and they have &C.
Quilted themselves with rare discre-
ton. But why not? They have
mother who is particularly gifted in
the social amenities, most cultured
woman and an ideal helpmate who will
bring to the White House as its mis-
tress a wealth Of charm Of mind and
manner.

There was a time when it was next

to win & close game in some places in

now that it isn't the correct idea of
craftsmanship to call out visiting bat
tiers on strikes when the ball is not
within inches Of the plate. Detroit
some years ago was playing with a
team which Is now out Of eXisten, 3.
The man who umpired the game is

talks about it. Three men We're on

Dan, it Will be recalled, had a. habit
of hitting the ball over the fence, not
now and then, but often.
The pitcher Of the opposing team
threw tuLr balls to Brouthers. One of
them he could have batted The other
three, T.ever; but he was called out,
just the same. Dan took one look at
the Umpire. There are two ways that

SuIIiVan's Trick to Get q stsks-Dead
Man Comes to Life Make a New
American Record.
By JOHN D. NOLAN.
NUMBER 20.

SulIivan's Trick to Get a stsks-Dead
Man Comes to Life Make a New
American Record.
Early in the month of March, I re-
Ceived a letter from Sullivan, inform
ing me that he had managed q female
race at Winsted which had proved a
success and that he had arranged a
three-mile race for me with Jack
Grant Of Danbury. to be run at Win
sted, the following week
l left for Winsted at once; and talk
ed matters over with Sullivan, who
had become enamoured of a sporting
life, and who decided to go on the
road with me as soon as his appren-
ticeship as a machiuist expired, which
would he in about two months: when
he would draw about 500 in back
pay. He was so eager to start, how
ever, that he conceived q scheme to get
his money and go at once. The morn
ing after my three-mile race with
Grant which l won in Ism. s., Sui
livan received the following telegram
from New Britain, where his father
and sister lived:
Mr.. Dan Sullivan Winsted; Fa-
Their died this morning. Come at once
Mary Sullivan"
Dan went at once 70 the office Of
the superintendent, and showing him
the telegram. asked him to advance
him s75. with which TO bury his ia
Their.
His request was granted, and the
superintendent was in the act Of
signing the check. when the door OF
the Office opened, and a voice inquired:
is my son Dan working today?" The
superintendent looked up in amaze
ment, as the supposed dead man en-
tered the office, and Dan, without
waiting to greet his venerable parent,
rushed from the office, and, one hour
later we were off for South Norwalk,
where a 12-hour race for the cham
pionship Of, Connecticut was to take
place March %.
The race was to be held at the ar
mory, and was managed by Company
=. Fourth regiment, c. \. c., the
prizes being so per cent. Of the gate,
and q gold medal, presented by Cap
tain Frost
In explaining the conditions to US,
when we called at the armory, Cap
tain Frost concluded by saying: Il
understand there are two men who
viii attempt to enter, but they will not
be allowed to start. They are George
Connors Of London, England, and
John Nolan OF Massachusetts, who will
give Norwich as his home!" Well.
Captain Frost" said Dan. allow me
to present to you Mr.. Nolan, VINO not
only belongs now to Norwich, but was
born there, ana who is going 20 enter
and win this racel"
Captain Frost extended his hand to
me and said: I'm glad to meet you,
Mr.. Nolan, and II you can prove you
live in Norwich you may enter, and
will be glad to see you win, II YOU are
able"
Just then three young men entered
the room, and one Of them advanced
to meet me, saying: I'm very glad
} to see you here, Jack! We were
thinking Of sending up to Norwich for
you" I was pleased to learn there
were three or four Norwich boys II

try, and we at once started into hard

MULLlN STRONG FOR eAINoR.
Detroit. Pitcher Says Young First
Saeker is Coming Sensation.

New Workers may think differently
in fact, the bugs in most metropolises
may cling to an absolutely opposite
version, but in the opinion of George
Mullin, the veteran right handler of the
Detroit Tigers, who is paying his sixth
successive February visit to Hot
Springs, Ark, Hal Chase, the general
ly accredited king Of the first sackers,
is not as fast cannot souse the sphere
as hard, and has nothing on Del Gain
or, ,Hughie Jennings youthful first
baseman.
Gainor made his bow as big
Lacquer last season. He got off to q
running start and was one of the main
reasons why the Tigers beat the bar
rier in such sizzling style. Also the
reason they backed up like they did
and eventually tossed off what ap
peared like a sure pennant TO the
merry men of Mister Mack.
.Gainor can outhit Chase and every
other first baseman in the world" de-
clared Mullin in the rotunda of the
Eastman hotel the other afternoon Tt
takes a Cobb or a Crawford to lose
him in that department Of the game.
AS for Hal. Del has him left at the
post, only, perhaps. when it comes to
going through with the hit and run
stuff, and Del is rapidly learning that
gag. As for speed. Gainor is a much
faster man than Chase. Yes, Hal is
probably the greatest defensive first
baseman in the game owing 10 the
ground he covers and the fact that he
is left handed workman. But Gainor
is steadier than Chase, though Del
nor no one else Will pun as much fancy
stuff as the New Yorker However,
the steady, reliable man on first goes
nd Mi hue ~ is
respect
Mullin gives the Tigers a slight edge
on the Athletics to win out in this
years American league race He
claims that only the most miserable
sort of miserable luck kept the Tigers
from coping last season. and as they
bested the champs of the universe in
the seasons % scraps they must be as
good, if not better, than the Quakers.
