King Georges Naval Library


 King George possesses one of the finest collections of naval books and pamphlets that have ever been got together Form erly his library has been kept at York Cottage, but it Is now being transferred to Windsor where d specially fitted up room has been provided for it. This eol- lection is not confined to books dealing with the British navy, but embraces the fleets of almost every country In the world and is in a diversity Of languages
 There is nothing affecting the sea and it's command that escapes his majesty's mo- tice and a leading firm of West End book sellers has q standing order to forward copies If any naval books that may be published at wherever the court happens tJ be situated the moment 1t makes 1t ap rearance. His majesty examines all these most carefully and decides whether they gre worthy of being added to his eollee. ton or not. The King has a great liking for making marginal notes fin such books as he reads, and some of these would prove decidedly interesting if it were possible to inspect them.

Jimmy Johnston. the speedy center fielder tied the southern league record for stolen bases yesterday afternoon when he purloined second base in the fifth inning. Throughout the season his consistent and daring work on the paths has proved to be the source of wonder and admiration. The record, which the speed marvel equalled, was that set by Joe Rickert with the New Orleans Peli- cans in 1904. However Riekert contested in many more games than Johnston.
 Johnston. it will be remembered, re- ceived very poor start. Although he played in nearly b games. at the first of May he hads but three stolen sacks tc his credit. His batting improved in May, however. and by the end of this month he had credited to him q total of 2 pill fered sacks.
 In June. his hitting was just as con- sistent but opportunity did not present it- self and he stole but b bases. However. this was eno,igh to maintain the lead of the laH@.-e sre~ Mean s~ t@e tnrii7
