MINSTREL'S Jokes
"G0T OVER" ANYWAY

Some strange, semi-savage land
seemed Hawaii to the Hugo Ministries
at the steamship wharf the morning
they arrived, when they heard the Ba-
bel of tongues about them. Its effect
on one OF the Ministries was to turn
him pessimistic. Said he to some of
his companions:
Il tell yours; some of these jokes
amt gwlne to git over. Cause-these
people amt goin' to understan EN-"
But when the JOY sound to all the
atrical people was waited across to
him at the opening performance, 1t was
with the negro characteristic and OPP
timistlc smile that he said:
Hum! l done tole you, these peo-
pie don't talk like us'ns, but they be-
longs to Uncle Sam, and they 'preci-
ates a Joke same as any 'Mericans."

N 'ALEER FEARS
ONLY WASHINGTON
IN PENNANT FIGHT
Believes the Red Sox Have
Taken the Heart Out
of Athletics.

BOSTON. Mass, July 1o.-That his
Red Sox are sure to land the pennant,
is the firm belief of President Jimmy
McAleer. Furthermore. he predicts that
the Sox will increase their lead from
now on. and have only the Washington
Nationals to fear
I'VE took the heart out of the Ath-
letics In our last series in Philadelphia" "
said McAleer today, ''and have no more
fear OF them. Our ouly difficulties will
come with Griffth's team. The Ma
tionals alone have the edge on us this
season. and If both these teams come
down the stretch together their battles
should be the best of the season.
However, / think we shall get such a
lead by Labor Day that we may lose
the last series to the Nationals without
endangering our grasp on the pennant.
Our pitchers are working like machin-
cry. and our hitters are landing on the
ball just when most needed. The whole
team Is working in harmony and, hon
estly, think we have that flag right
now"

NEW YORK. July 1O.-Ty Cobb was
received with cheers instead OF Kisses
by the fans here yesterday and today
Manager Jennings said that he expect

II guess Cobb's difficulties have been
fairly we'll aired every where by now,"
said Jennings, "and the fans of New
York must appreciate his position.
Cobb did not seek any trouble, 1t was
forced upon him.
My club is not going very we'll just
now, largely owing to the in-and-out
work OF the pitchers. Mullin is doing
the best work of them all. but he has
his bad days. Jean Dubuc is coming
ahead fast and may swing us into the
first division before many weeks have
passed.
Though my team seems out of the

Improved Highways Touch
Interest of Millionaire,
Farmer, and Mechanic.
By HARRY WARD.

"A subject that appeals to automobile
owners is the esta blishment OF a sys-
tenn of NATIONAL highways connecting
every large city and place OF national
interest from coast to coast" said NJ. ].
Hammers, general manager of a big
Detroit automobile company.
ut Is astonishing when one thinks
of the attention given the subject Of
road building during the days of estab-
lishment of our Government that after
a while enthusiasm should dwindle down
to such degree as to be incomparably
outstripped by progress made along
other lines. But believe the country
is now very much awake. Nearly every
body. from President Taft down, Is
talking good roads. tits not an unweighed
statement to say that the matter Is one
of universal Importance. Few subjects
relating TO material interests are so
broad in their scope. 1t touches the in
terests of the millionaire, the farmer,
and the mechanic alike. A uniform sys-
tenn OF good roads will be a great step
In the solution of the problem of the
high cost of living. Millions of dollars
are annually lost to the farmer because
he is unable to get his produce to mar
ket at the right time and city prices are
kept high because produce cannot be
obtained.
Good roads the year around will
contribute as much to prosperity, de-
velopment and welfare of the entire
nation as the railway, the interurban,
the automobile, or the telephone to
some communities. Nothing retards
civilization and progress like mac
cessibility. The barriers of the for
est or rugged hill are ofttimes as ef-
fectual as seclusion behind a prison
wall. With good roads through the
Cumberland valley, the Ozark noun
tains, and many other such districts.

pear within few years, and the
| great wealth of natural resources OF
these regions opened for the enjoy

| NO expenditure of public money
could be more profitably made thar

the value of $4,000 miles of such high

.STERRETT IS SURE

BERTH ON YANKEES
Former Collegian Has Big
League Calibre, Says
Manager Wolverton.

NEW YORK, July 10.-Sterrett, the
young backstop from Princeton Univer-
city just now<holding down the initial
sack for the Higffanders, has made
such a favorable impression upon Har-
ry Wolverton that he will be given a
chance In the outfield as soon as Chase
is able to resume his place at first base.
His hitting is doing the work of keep
ing him in the big show.
1t isn't often that collegian comes
in and makes good right off the reel"
says Wolverton, but this Sterrett lad
is there with the goods. His hits have
the right ring to them.
Hes going to play one of the out
field places as soon as Chase Is back,
and l expect him to make good"
Sterrett was picked up by Arthur H.

to sign until he had completed has

Kiviat, Jones, and Sheppard
Qualify for Finals in
1,5OO-Meter Run.

STOCKHOLM Sweden, July 10.-Amer-
lean athletes continue to reach the finals
In the trial heats here, the middle dis
tance stars having their innings yester-
day, when such wonders as Abel Kiviat,
John Paul Jones, George Bonhag, Mel
Sheppard, Norman Taber, Louis Scott,
and Oscar Hedlund showed the large
crowd that their ability equals the best.
The performances of the American
middle distance runners did not meet
wholly with the approval of the throngs
in the stadium, as II was thought that
they should have tried to win. instead
of simply qualifying. However, Mike
Murphy had issued orders that they
were to hold themselves IN and not try
to break any records in the trials, saw
ing themselves forNthe finals.
Abel Kiviat, naturally a speed mer-
chant, just couldn't hold himself in, and
romped away from his field. but the
others, particularly Jones and Hedlund
were content with second places.

Manager Cornell and Team
Will Be Heard at
Meeting.

Although no official announcement
has been made regarding the busi-
ness that will be taken up tomorrow
amateur commission, II is certain that
a thorough threshing out of the in
situations and assertions that are be-
ing made about Manager Cornell and
his tigers. who have been cutting
such a wide sweep in the Capital City
League.
Here is a collection OF ball players
who have worked together for many
seasons, who have always observed
every ruling OF the amateur commits
sion. and who have, as result Of
their strict adherence to the regula-
tions of the body under which they
play. been successful to a marked de-
gree. There is no question but that
Cornell Is one OF the best, II not the
best, teams in the local organization,
and because they have attained high
degree OF efficiency and outshine their
brothers on the diamond is no reason
they should be barred from the post
season games
This Is by no means going to happen,
but II is exactly the theory that many
disgruntled team managers and players
are advancing. In case any such motion
is brought before the amateur body
at tomorrow's meeting, President s.
Edward Beach OF the Capital City
League is expected to address those
present in terms that will. leave a
lasting impression.
