REALLY GOOD PLAYS.

Wally Roland of The Milwaukee
Journal has tired, apparently, of that
fluff about The Greatest Play I Ever
S~aw-signed by prominent players, and
has invented. a series of plays by
prominent baseball folk as follows:
Joe CantiIlon-John Anderson's slide
to second with the bases filled.
John McGraw-Fred Merkle's failure
to touch second.
Bill Finneran-Sherwood Magee's
strikeout when he made a hit off the
umpire.
Clark Griffith-Jack Chesbro's wild
pitch which cost New York a PEN
nant.
RUDE Marquard-Frank Bakers
home run off Mathewson.
Christy Mathewson-Frank Bakers
home run off Marquard.
Fielder Jones-when the ball hit
Dave A~ltizer's head and was caught,
giving Dave an assist and put out.
Silk O'Laughlin-When a PhiladeI-
phia policeman prevented Sam Craw-
ford catching a fly ball in a seventeen
inning game in 1908.
Bill Donovan-Charley Schmidt's
passed ball in the Detroit-cub series,
1907. which cost us a game.
Bill Ken-Larry Doyle's failure to
touch the plate in the fifth worlds
series game. No one else saw it.
Tim Hurst-Kid Elberfield'sI attempt
to score from second, through the
pitchers box.
Connie Mack-Ames' throw, in the
last worlds series game. The ball
hit Barry on the head and four runs
scored.

shall develop that it viii be safer to
confine the crew to the six men all
ready agreed upon.
A string of German warships with
lie along the first portion of the course
and Secretary Of the Navy Meyer has
agreed to detail a number OF vessels
to perform a like duty on the end Of
the course nearest our shores. While
sanguine of success, d, Cans and his
associates are taking no unnecessary
risks and leaving nothing whatever to
chance. They do not think there will
be anything for the warships OF either
country to do except to lie in the
course or cruise along slowly in the
wake Of the air craft. However, in
the event Of a storm or other sudden
emergency, with the possibility OF
something essential going wrong on
the Suchard, the commander Of the
petition does not feel justified in
dangering the lives OF his associates
A striking and important feature OF
the equipment is the other scientific
paraphernalia, and which is Of the
modern, unsuitable type. Discussing
this boat, DR.. Cans says:
This boat has been tested in the
tumultous waters Of the North Sea
and has been found to respond easily
and quickly to every turn Of its crew
and to the slightest movement of its
helm. 1t is thirty-ffve feet long and
has room for the entire crew of six
for provisions, fuel and oil for a period
of two weeks. BY means of q snal
lever, the boat can be cut loose from
tha eya hnu IN IoSu than a GoSnnd.
which insures the safety Of the crew,
their instruments and records, no mat
ter what accident may befaIl the bag.
Relieved Of the weight OF the motor
boat, the balloon would ascend rapid
ly and be lost. This is provided
against by connecting it with the motor
boat by means of a long rope. This
rope is attached to the rip cord and
when the rising balloon has rendered
the rip-cord taut, the balloon is i'm
stantly and automatically ripped open,
thus releasing the gas. The bag viii
then descend to the water but not sink,
being kept floating upon the oceans
surface by the buoyancy of the air
balloonets. 1t then car be towed by
the boat without any difficulty.
1.-The boat will contain two motors
OF 10 horsepower each. These MOI
tors will drive the Suchard at a speed
OF twenty miles an hour in addition to
the velocity Of the trade wind, which
will be from ten to fifteen miles. They
can be used alternately or conformity.
Neither viii be used at night, when the
best wind prevails and when the Such
ard will be permitted to drift with the
wind. The crew will have ample time
for rest while the airship is drifting
at night.
In addition to being equipped with
motors the boat will have a mast and
sail so that If compelled to take to the
ocean, and If both motors should by
some unthinkable accident be render
ed useless at the same time, the boat
would not even then be left wholly
at the mercy of the sea-"

TOBACCO KID
TO BE sold

herfeld will now be sold to the highest
bidder. The Washington club would
never have gone into negotiations for
Eherield's sale to Chattanooga had It
been led to believe that it was
pleasing the player by placing him
there.
But since his salary demands are
such that the Chattanooga club can
not meet them the deal has been called
of, and Manager Grifith will now sell
Elberfeld to any club that wants him.
regardless of whether Elberfeld likes
it or not.
Elberfeld drew $4,750 per season
from the Washington club, which paid
New York $4,000 for his release.

HERE'S A 20 SELECTION
THAT BEATS THEM ALL,

Naming twenty most famous any
body of anything has become quite a
fad, so just now twenty of the most
famous questions will hardly be con-
sidered out of place. Here they are:
Where was Moses when the light
went out?
Who killed Cock Robin?
What are the wild waves saying?
Who will care for mother now?
Did you get yours?
Who hit Billy Patterson?
Where is my wandering boy tonight?
How old is Ann?
Where in the name of the immortals
did that collar button go to ?
W'ot tell?
When shall we three meet again?
When is a door not a door?
Why does a hen cross the road?
is my hat on straight, dear?
Did you ever see such weather?
Isn't he a bore?
Isn't she a fright?
Where did he get it?
Why not?
Whatll you have?

that he could cross the Atlantic with
out great difficulty provided he could
keep his dirigible in the air. The Ger
man is confident he can keep the Su-
chard in the air, although it will be
necessary to fly rather close to the
water most of the time. The big
problem in this regard will be to 50

the start is made. This is a great

In fact, everything hat will enter

especially true of the equipment. Dr..
Cans knows exactly what every mi

in any known emergency that may
arise. The proposed trip is not a has
tily-considered undertaking, but Is the
research.
A German naval officer Of the high

the Suchard on the trip. and Willy
Jeordens, an expert pilot OF dirigibles
and ordinary balloons win be at the
helm. The other three men aside from
DR.. Cans, who, of course, will be the
commander of the expedition, also are
experts of a high order of ability in
their respective lines. There has been
a suggestion that a naval officer OF
