Poetry That Paws.

Alfred Noyes, the English poet who,
alone among the entire poet tribe,
makes living out Of poetry, said at
a dinner in New York:
II wish 1t to be distinctly under"
stood that my poems are not putting
me in the Carnegie or Rockefeller
class.
while my poems afford me a COM
petence, am still hit hard by the
story Of Mrs. Blanco.
"'Who is that young man who is
paying you such marked attention.
Mrs. Bianco, society leader, asked
her daughter.
Hes a poet, mother the young
girl replied.
"Gracious.' cried the mother. And
can you, millionaire's daughter, eeri-
ously contemplate throwing yourself
away on a starving poet?'
"Oh,' said the young girl, you don't
understand. He isn't an ordinary poet.

Peculiar Accident.

A peculiar accident occurred at
Swindon (Wilts) on q recent evening.
A heavy traction engine. drawing
three trucks laden with tents and 9th.
er goods, bound from Cheltenham to
Bulford Camp, Salisbury Plain. had
reached Swindon, when in ascending
the hill the engine became overpow-
cred by the load, and ran backwards
down the hill. The axle Of one Of the
vans broke, and this overturned the
huge vans, completely blocking the
roadway. A horse and trap. which
was following behind the van, was
run into, and the trap was completely
smashed. The occupants narrowly es.
caped serious injury.

These direct efforts have been sup

goes up in behalf of millions of the

agents of the fisheries service. who

ceding foods and restore the fishes to
the main streams.
"One important point in increasing
the fish food supply is the encourage
ment of the utilization Of many kinds
Of good fish which are now neglected.
Our fastidious tastes and the abun-
dance Of our water products have
caused US to discard many excellent
resources which other nations have

inquiry by LIE has shown that each

this is one OF the best favored fishes

Dozens of other fishes which Euro
peans eat are regarded by use as be-

connection the very abundant and
widely distributed sea mussels, which
are extensively eaten in all the coast

and they want an early date. Post

knows more about pitching than any
youngster he ever saw. McGraw
gives Demaree credit for being a
heady pitcher. He does not carry as
much stuff as Mathewson, but there
is very little that he does not know
about the art of pitching He has
not Matty's experience or his physical
skill, but he will probably make a
better showing than either Vanguard
or Tesreau did.
The Athletics are a rare combina-
ton. They are wonderful athletes
and quick thinkers in the bargain.
1t Is hard to beat such a combination,
but Christy Mathewson did 1T. He
shut them out in ten innings Tuesday
Marquard has been tried and found
wanting. That is why it looks like a
good move on Marquard's part, if he
should shove in Demaree.
The Mackmen have a set of coach
ers who can read what any pitcher Is
going throw by watching his move
ments in serving different balls.
A couple innings is enough for them
to get wise and If the pitchers can't
cover UP and the Mack batters know
what Is coming-in the words of the
New York fan-'Good night" Other
batters might be tipped off, but they
would not have the physical skill to
slam the ball as the Athletics do.
| Matty crossed them because he was
| cool and covered up his delivery so
cleverly that nobody knew what was
coming. The other Giant pitchers
pitched numbly and dumbly. trusting.
as 1t were, to fate and their support
to carry them through. The next
time Mathewson pitches he will prob
ably hit harder. For one thing. il
does not seem possible for any human
being to repeat Mathewson's wonder
full performance of Tuesday. The
other reason is that the Mackmen
will not try to get any advance dope
on what Is coming, befuddling their
imagination instead of having a clear
eve and taking a chance on getting
in a good wallop.
The Mackmen are terrors when they
start an insurreotion. 1t comes along
like a tidal wave, the punch is taker
up all along the line and no pitcher
seems able to stop them. Matty die
1t. but Mathewson is not an ordinar,
pitcher He is genius.

BrickIey's Toe Still on Job
at Crimson Practise Duels

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Oct. 10.-The
Harvard coaches did not drive Nthe
varsity in the Stadium yesterday,
but sent the team against the scrub
to work out its own salvation. In a
hour scrimmage the regulars
were able to- score only two touch
downs against Bob Guilds SCRUB.
which is the strongest second team in
Cambridge for ten years.
Neither of these touchdowns came
as the result of line bucking. Hard
wick making one on a 55-yard run
and Brickley once shooting through
alone and strewing scrub tacklers all
over the slippery field during 45-
yard run. Brickley, also scored two
goals from the field, one from the
25-yard line and the other from a
