Sobriety and Baseball

From the Metropolitan Magazine.
 Norman Hapgood says he has Ian idea that the greater sobriety of the baseball players today has been made possible not only by the increasing realization everywhere that drink interferes with effiieeney but by the special fact that the modern railroad train service enables them to get decent meals. When the best you can do Is to jump off the train once in while for i've minutes to grab something uneatable, it is nearly an ir- resistable temptation to take refuge in liquid stimulation. Another cause of the
 increased skill at the top is that the game
 s played by larger portion of the popu lation. Few but the Irish and regular Americans used to play. Today a Ger man, a Frenchman and a Georgia Amer ican have the best reputations as batters. the crack catcher of two or three years ago was a Jew, a pitcher and catcher in tie last worlds series were Indians; Swedes and Italians and almost every other species of Americans abound. The relations between the big leagues and the minors are also closer and the minors more numerous; so the machinery for bringing the best talent in the nation to the two major leagues Is almost per feet Few who are sufficiently skilifnl to get to the top refrain. So great are the interest and glory that if a son of Roosevelt Edison, Eliot, Salnt-G Gaudeus or Morgan developed in college the base ball talent of Eddie Collins. it would be hard To tempt him into any other walk of life"

WOMAN'S SLEEPER |SCAUSE OF 4 WAR She Complains of the Large Number of Unmar-
 ried Men
From the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald
 n.-Dunshaughlin, a little vif- lage in County Meath, about twenty miles from Dublin, is showing all the rest of Ireland the proper way to home rule. Dunshaughln has not waited for any bill to fight it's way through parlia- ment. It has just prepared it's own bill and passed it without any ado. The Dun shaughlin District council was scared into it by a young woman. and the new law Is one that will give to women just the home rule they have apparently been pinng for.
 Bridget Brannagan wrote to the dis trici council a letter and mailed it from Sabbath Hill, near Nottingham, com- plaining that she had to leave Ireland because there were too many nonmarry- ing bachelors in County Meath.
 'I spent several years of my life hop ing" she wrote, but the bachelors locked their cottages and went to their work in the morning and came home in the evening to boil the kettle and make their supper with a paraffin cooking lamp Bad luck to the cooking lamps, but they were the curse of the country.
 T don't know what you were elected for at all, at all, to throw the ratepayers' money away on the worst men in the crowd, while there are honest men not afraid to marry a woman and 'rere' a family of laborers. I suppose I may never expect to see my native place again, but I can marry a decent, hard working Englishman any time I like, not lazy "bouzy,'' too common in Ire land. E." E E. q - ssaz esa z
 Prom the way you are going on the squall of a child will meyer be heard in the deserted cottages of Dunshaughlin."
 This letter woke up the councillors of Dunshaughlin. They shared Bridget's indignation and, approved her emphatic denuncfation of her selfish countrymen. So they resolved and recorded in their local statute book that the bachelors must marry within three months or leave their cottages. There are sxty-nine marriageable bachelors,a but as few of them seem to be seriously upset about

The Retort Calm and Quick

From the Portland Oregonian.
 To illustrate the ever ready wit of the Irish the following story was told at a banquet held recently in the Commercial club: An Irishman on his way home at night was in the habit of cutting through a cemetery in order to shorten the distance. A group of his friends evolved a scheme to have some fun at his expense Ae- cordingly they found a sunken grave across which his path lay, dug it out and covered it with boards in such manner that he must fall into the yawning cav ity.
 The Irishman came along and every thing happened as per schedule. While he was still squirming about in the bot tom of the hole, striving to extricate him self three or four of his friends, attired in white sheets and other ghostly accou- trements, suddenly made their appear ance. Pat was frightened out of his wits and almost tainted when one of them said:
 What are you doing in my grave?"
 The tone was sepulchral. It made the 1rishmans hair stand almost on end, but he could not forego a witty retort.
 Faith, and what are you doing out of it?'' he asked.

The Sliding Seat

From the Westminster Gazette.
 A sliding stroke was adopted by Eng fish oarsmen long before movable seats. but upon what the Americans called the "buckskin and butter plan Newcastle scullers used to slide on a long highly polished thwart by the free use of grease or soap. their row ing trousers being strapped at the sea with wash leather This device was in- troduced 10, the Thames by Robert Chambers when he sculled match with Harry Kelly in 1865, and was used hy the Tyne crew when they rowed St. John. New Brunswick, in 1870. Tn 1871 the Tyne crew. who had gained a knowledge of the movable seat during their visit to America. used sliding seats at Newcastle: and they were fitted to the coxswainless four in which the London Rowing club beat the Atlanta crew of New York in 1872. After the success of the new arrangement at Henley. sliding seats were adopted by both universities for the varsity boat race of 1873.
