When the Mobile Gulls sold Al Demaree
to tie New York Giants probably the
best pitcher in the league was disposed
of. Demaree has pitched wonderful ball
this season, winning nearly three-fourths
of his games and keeping the Gulls up
in the race
Demaree started off like a house afire
and although everyone expected him to
falter as the season progressed he has
mot and is still the wonderful pitcher.
Perhaps, however, his redoubtable SIAM
ina and staying qualities have been the
features of his work.
Al has twirled five extra inning af-
fairs. He has pitched a total of 70 in
nings in these five games and has struck
out 81 batsmen and allowed but 40 hits.
Instead of being weaker after the nine

seemingly stronger. His nerve and

Remarkable Popular Ignorance.

Some one has remarked that at
the height of Napoleon's fame there
were men in the back alleys Of Paris
who had never heard his name. This
illustration of popular ignorance was
recalled by a Judge who was examin-
Ing candidates for citizenship In New
York city recently. He asked one of
these prospective citizens, who is
the head of your native country"
1.-THE king" who becomes the head
when he dies?" His son." "And
who is the head of this country
"The president" "And who would
become the head II he died?" "His
SON." And yet, as the Judge remark
ed, all these men know enough to
earn their daily bread-the rest is a
matter Of schooling.
