i the next three men to face him. | One day he was missing, and the manager found him outside the i grounds, pitching for a nine of kids. He tried to show them how to curve a brick and threw out his arm. | For a few years he was only ordi. nary after that, and drifted to the outlaws of the coast. He was out there where Connie Mack's pitching staff was wrecked hy National league lawsuit. Mack vanished one day, and two weeks later the un- tamable Rube was lack in the fold, pitching pennant-winning ball for the Athletics
 1 ed the fans and he was one of the best cards in the game. if not the very best These same ways almost drove Mack to the madhouse He appointed Osse Schreck as Rube's keeper, and then hired regular keeper for the pair. From city to city Rube and Ossie wended their joyous hilarity by night That they were ever fit to stand a grueling race was attributed to their capac- ity, rather than their virtue Al ways drawing their salaries ahead, it is said that neither ever drew a full months check at the same time during their career in the majors.
 Mack finally got tired of the game. He sent Rube to St Louis, and St. Louis passed him to the minor league. Rube was a big factor in winning a pennant last year. but the old habits undermined his health. Instead of taking care of himself during the winter, Rube usually tended bar, toured with a one-night stand Tom" troupe. got a job as a fireman or a policeman or something else equally as crazy
 Now the once mighty arm is gone the once-famed control is no more and Rube is down and out. He spent thousands on good friends but it's safe to say that those good friends would not stake him to a They never do in the big leagues His small salary check on the fif teenth was drawn in advance, and he is of no further use to his club. It's '30' for the greatest left-hander and the most cratic character the national game has ever known.
 CHICAGO. July 2S. - Gravy Ora vath the slugging outfielder of the Philadelphia Nationals, is regarded as the batting find of the 1912 Ma tional league season. Turned down twice ill the big leagues, he has come into his own and today $15.- 900 would not buy his release from Charley Dooing and Horace Fogel
 
 Cravath was tried by the Boston Americans four years ago and let out because he could not run. He was turned over to the Chicago White Sox and sent to the minors because he could field In Minneapo- lis he was a whale with the bat, in the field and on the bases. This spring he jimmed John Titus out of his job with the Philles and game after game won by Dooin's men has been credited to Cravath
 He has even equalled Sherwood Magee as a slugger and that alone stamps him as full of class Yester day his batting defeated Frank Chances team Today, in the tenth inning he stole home clean as hounds tooth. His fielding has been sensational all the season. In addition, Cravath is well liked by both fans and players. and there seems no good reason why he should not shine in the big leagues for years.

condition exists not only in Eng land but in France and Australia as well.
 \ short time ago the prominent critics of the sport world were proClaiming their praises of the won derful French boy. George Carpen tier. and also of his countryman Marcel Marcau. They claim that
 Carpenter was another demon of the ring. Ike Stanley Ketchel He started his career three years age as q bantamweight. Since that time Inc has grown so rapidly that he had to enter the mddleweight class. He met and defeated many boys. but when he met Frank Klaus he seemed to lack the qualities of being the man that was claimed for i him. as Klaus beat him in nineteen rounds.
 The other Frenchman. Marcel Mareau. seemed to be a likely look ing lad, but when he met Billy Pap. ke. he was not there The Amer ican boxer whom nearly all the critics claim is all in. defeated him with room to spare. These two events seem 10 play havoc among the foreign people. No doubt they asked themselves time and again. Why can't We beat the Yankees ?' There is only one answer: They are far behind the times; they are not up to the hustling. busy ways of the modern Americans: they try 10 copy the training methods of American boxers. but somehow they can not progress; the spirit is lack ing; they fail to show the stout heart and the determination of our boys.
 Look at the decline of Australia in the production of boxers. The
 
 of some of the greatest fighters eyer turned loose to the world. They swept everything before them But that was long time ago. in the days of such men as Robert t'itZsimmons, Young Griffo. Dan Crcedon and Tommy Tracy. They came and conquered in their respec- tive classes. and chances are that if Griffo had the brains of some of our present day fighters he would have been champion of the world in his class.
 Just look back to the classy manner in which Fitzsimmons. Cree. don and Tracy performed. They made names which will live forever in the memory of the pugilistic world. Australia sent us a few more boxers in later times, but they could not make even an interesting showing with the Americans. Both Squires and Lang proved the worst kind of "pugilistic lemons" The sport world knows that the foreigners are not up to the Amer ican class in the pugilistic line. For proof of this fact one has only to be reminded that the champion- ship of the world in all divisions but two. the welterweight and mid dIeweight, are held by Americans Moreover, our boys seem to over shadow the rest of the world so much that I think it will be many years before there is change which will give foreigner title in any of the boxing classes"

THE NEW SUPREME JUSTICE.

AS the reports advise, there was some sharp debate over the confirm atioa Of the latest appointment to the Supreme Bench, but the thing was finally achieved and Mahlon Pit pey, of New Jersey, will assume the duties of Justice.
 There was some strenuous objec- ton based on the allegation that Chancellor Pitney had not favored or sanized labor in his decisions, but the merit Of that contention had not appealed very strongly to the public mind. and evidently had little or no weight before the Senate, In char acter and professional equipment it appears from all sources of iDforma- ton that Chancellor Pitney fills the bill i1 every respect Governor Wilson does not hesitate to say as much. and we may note with pleas ure and as a significant fact, that William J. Bryan had no objections to urge,
 Undoubtedly it is matter of en- hs--aSsmep- to pick the best man for a position on the Supreme Bench. The public mind is so sensitive about the character and qualifications of the man who may be chosen, that va uabIe men are sometimes denied the office because Of some unpopularity. At best. it is hardly possible to Sc lect 8 man who Is above criticism from some source. As a prerequisite to appointment the man selected should have had years of judicial experience. and in that experience is involved the decision Of many cases where interests and opinions have claShed. In a spirit of self-jusufica- ton. We are likely to consider that decision just which accOCds with our interests or our opinions, and If issues have been tense.y drawn, there is bound to come from the defeated side. the charge Of injustice, or, at least. of bias that units the Judge for so high an office. All this has been apparent in the recent select ions for the Supreme Court, and there is less objection of this sort 10 Justice Pitney than to others.

SEA PoST0FFlCES.
Handling and Sorting the Mail Matter
 on Ocean Liners.


 Every one is aware that large Quan. tity of mail comes from Europe. Prob ably most persons assume that 1t is dumped of the steamers in bulk and sorted and routed in the poStotfice of the receiving port. Such a system would result in hopeless congestion, and practically all of the 15,OOOOOO pounds of foreign mail matter receiv- ed at New York on an average of re- cent years is ready, sorted and sacked when the steamers make port. This work is done in the sea poStoftices aboard the ships and means days saved in the time of delivery of mail matter intended for inland points.
 In the huge mass of mail brought into New York each year there are on an average SO,OOO,0OO separate pieces, many thousands with inadequate ad- dresses. vet to such a degree of effi- ciency has the operation of the sea postoliceS been brought and so care fully is the work done that less than 500 errors are made annually. AS the entire quantity of the ocean mail re- ceiyed in a year would fill 2,20O stand ard mail cars an almost incredible ac- curacy is indicated-less than one CT TOT of any kind whatever for every four carloads of mail.
 Congress authorized the sorting of mail on board conveying steamships in 1890. but it was not until the year fol- lowing that any systematic effort was made to do so. The work of the sea poStottice is very similar to that of the railway mail service. On board large liner there will be usually two United States clerks, two in the en- ploy of the country from which the steamer sails and several subalterns or pcrters. This force will on an aver age trip open and sort from 500 to 900 sacks of mail, probably consisting of 5OO.OOO ordinary letters and 4,00O reg iStered letters. besides 250,OOO par cels and periodicals. Mail for New York city Is distributed and separate " sacked for each of the stations and that for the United States generally according 10 schedule which has l2S divisions. In addition to the mail for the United States, the sea postoaice clerks must sort that destined for Gu ba. Mexico. Canada and the orient, great deal of the last class being for warded by rail to San Francisco and thence by steamer.
 To facilitate matters two mail boats are maintained at New York, and these meet incoming steamers at the quar- sntine station. one taking on the mail bags intended for direct delivery to trains and steaming directly to the railway stations along the river front, the other that for New York city and such others as require rehanding. The sea postoffices cost the government something less than $3,OOo,OOO per an Dum -Harper's

The Zapatistas, said to number five
