LEAVE FOR NJ JUNE is
Date Of Sailing OF Athletes 10 Tsnta.
lively Announced In New York
Steamer 10 Chartered.

The date for the sailing Of the
American Olympic team Is tentatively
announced as June IL. The commit
tee has chartered the steamship Fin
land for the trip. and the boat will
be deliberately equipped for the ac-
commodation Of the athletes. "A track
one-eighth Of q mile In length will be
laid out for the runners and there
will be ample spaces assigned for
jumping pits and arenas for the shot
putters and weight men The boat
has a fine gymnasium and q large
swimming tank.
The Finland will serve as a hotel
for the team from the time the boat
sails from New York till It docks
there on its return. The boat will
arrive in Stockholm about ten days
before the opening of the Olympic pro-
gram OF July s and will leave on its
return July Is, three days after the
officials close the festival.
The Finland Is q larger craft than
either the Barbarossa, on which the
American athletes sailed to Athens
for the Olympic program of 1906, or
the st. Paul, which took them to Lon
don for the Olympic games Of 1908.
Accommodations will be reserved for
300 passengers in addition to the ath-
letes, as the treasurer hopes to pay
at least part Of the expense of trans
porting the team by revenue gained
from other passengers.

Scenes IN JERICHO
Writer Tells Of Wonders in the
Holy Land.
Declares Arabs, Riding on Thsll
camels In Outlet Of Dawn, Passed
Like Phantoms Visited
Grave OF Lazarus.

Jerusalem.-We had come down
from Jerusalem the previous morning
with q correspondent. q carriage ride
Of four hours. and had stopped for
luncheon at Jericho, or, nor cor
rectly speaking, at Rilia, a little to
the east Of the site of the ancient
city. What memories Of brilliant
events in Biblical history cling about
this spot! Jericho, the city of palm
trees; the scene Of Joshua's vic.
tories; the place where the last days
Of Elijah were-spent, and whence he
went forth with Elisha to cross the
waters Of the Jordan, to be taken up
to heaven in a chariot Of fire; the
spot where the two blind men were
healed; the place where u Lord paid
a visit to the house Of Yachens. Here,
too, the long celebrated and
beautiful groves and gardens given
to Cleopatra by Mark Antony. Jericho
now consists Of a large Russian
church, a house for Russian pilgrims,
two hotels and the mud huts Of
Bedouin Arabs.
As we descended the 700 feet below
Jerusalem the heat increased until
we arrived in the tropical plain Of
Jericho under a binding sun. First
We visited the pool of Elisha, the wa.
ters of which he had healed; then
tramped through the ruins of the
Jericho Of the Israelites, where we
saw part Of the city walls around
which Joshua and his army marched
seven times. After its ca%pitulation
Joshua pronounced a curse on the
city, which was fulfilled. Very re.
Gently excavations have been made
here by the Germans and the Aus
TRANS.
The only sound we heard as we
rolled along the sandy soil past clus-
ters Of thorn bushes was the tinkle
Of the sleighbells around the horses
necks. Straight ahead, at intervals,
we could discern a dark moving mass
on the road, and as we approached
a party Of Arabs would step aside,
all wrapped closely in their cloaks,
with stats in their hands. At an.
other time the dark moving mass
would prove to be a caravan Of
camels moving noiselessly along with
their heavy burdens. Daylight came

About half way back to Jerusalem
we stopped to rest the horses at a

Frank Chance, Manager Of Chicago Cubs.

II think that the late Frank Selee
was the best team manager and Frank
Chance the best first baseman l ever
played under" said Johnny Killing,
manager of the Boston Wardmen, ac-
cording to a New York newspaper.
"Selee really made the Cubs cham
pions. He developed Chance into a
first baseman, discovered Evers, Reul-
bach, Tinker and Schultz, and gave
me the first opportunity to catch be-
hind the bat. Selee was a natural
Judge Of playing talent. He wasn't a
bnlldozer or the bench, but an even
tempered, fair-minded critic of the
mistakes made by his players. Had he
lived he would have received all the
credit for the greatness of the Cubs
instead of Chance.
II don't believe Chance can pick un
and develop young players, but he
knows how to make the men placed
In his care play ball. He is a strict
disciplinarian and a great field gen.
eral. AS a first baseman and batter
he was at the top of the heap and set
a winning example.
"Chance has always believed in

derful batsmen the game ever pro-
duced, and If he continues to hit at
the remarkable pace he has set this
season, he is likely to shatter all bat
ting records In baseball. Day after
day the Mission Indian peals off two
or three hits, and generally draws a
pass or two on the side, as the pitch
ers as a rule transfer him to first

JOE JAcKsoN's STYLE AT BAT
Connie Mack Told Hard Hitting "Nap"
outfleIder He Would Become a
Great SIugger.

Joe Jackson isn't a stylish batter.
He pulls away from the plate, which
Is decidedly bad form according to the
set standards for hitting. Joe plants
his right foot within six inches OF the
plate when he faces the pitcher, but
as the ball comes up he takes a long
step toward first base.
theoretically a batter who pulls
away from the plate as Joe does can
not hit the ball hard, and 1t has often
been remarked that Joe was lucky to
escape being taught a different style
of hitting.
It is generally believed that If Joe
had been changed he would have lost
his natural swing and ability.
One manager tried to teach Joe to
bat differently-Connie Mack.

1908, Manager Mack told me 1 would

He was a poor miserable look

So he asked the owner of the

near by. what made the dog howl.

all"
But laziness doesn't make a

ArmOryS Turn Tables
on Naples in Suggest

In a game marked with constant
wrangling on the part of both teams
over the decisions of the umpire. the
Armory A. C. turned the tables on the
Maple A. c., of Kearny, in the second
game of the aso between these
two aggregations on Roseyille Oval
yesterday afternoon.
The final score favored the home
team by 10 to 4, the same tally of the
first game, which, however, went to
the West Hudson team.
Henry Otte, who twirled for the
home team, was hit hard, but after
the third inning pitched fairly good
ball. Artie Fulton started for the
Naples, but was wild as a hawk. The
pitching of young Davy White. who
relieved Fulton in the sixth, was the
feature of the game. Davy famed
six of the nine men who faced him,
including Rupe Mills and George
Stamford. Although small in stature,
his little but fast-breaking outcurce
and speed had the Armory players
standing on their heads. The Armorys

FINISHES
UP HIS TRAINING

Mike Malta, of Jersey City, will to-
day wind up his training and Will
rest until tomorrow night, when he
meets Harry Tracey, of Philadelphia,
in the star bout at the Eleventh Ward
Athletic Club, Morris Park. Malta
had been in training before he was
notified that he had been selected to
meet Tracey, and when the word was
brought to him he just smiled and
put on h finishing touches. He is
at present In superb shape, and ought
to work great.
Tracey is a lad that never gets put
of condition. As soon as he finishes
a fight he rests for a few days and
then begins training. He is a lad
that likes work, and the more he gets
the more he seems to want. 1t seems
to be in his blood. He is now at the
featherweight poundage, and viii,
weigh not more than 122 pounds when
he enters the ring. He says he will
have no trouble in winning and that
Malta will get a grand setback in his
featherweight-title ambition. There
will also be a semi-final and four
preliminaries.
