GET GOOD COMMITTEES.
Senior Senator is Chairman Of Naval
Affairs. Junior Head of Immigration.

WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator
Tillman's selection to head the naval
affairs committee will no doubt be
a distinct pleasure to many cities,
where navy yards are located. He
has always been a friend of the Char
lesion station, even though he was
not chairman of this committee, anc
now that he will head it, he is in
even a better place to safeguard its
interests.
Immediately after the formal &C.
ton taken today Senator Tillman had
his secretary, J. B. Knight, sworn IN
as clerk, and his assistant secretary,
Granville Wyche, as assistant clerk.
It is thus seen that he means to lose
no time in assuming authority. He
will probably move his committee
broom within the next few days. Sen
&ator Tillman's other assignments are
Has follows: Appropriations, expend1'

Eivilized tribes of Indians, Forest re
ervation and protection of game,

Senator Smiths secretary since the

The pistol ball penetrated Wood S

Escapes Death by Miracle.

New York, March ia steel
rocket containing Rodman Law, the
human fly" in which he intended 20
be shot $500 feet into the air, des-
cending by parachute, exploded
this afternoon when 500 pounds o.
powder behind it was fired. Law
was hurled 25 feet from his seat in
the rocket but was unhurt.
Protected by padding and a he'll
met, Law crawled into the rocket
with his parachute and gave the or
der to fire. The fuse was lighted and
sputtered for 80 seconds. There was
a terrific report Hundreds of spec
tators saw the rocket burst into frag-
ments.
Law was hurled violently to the
ground. His hair and eyebrows were
burned off. For ten seconds he was
unconscious. Then he got up and
looked around.
Darn that thing" he exclaimed.
Il thought l was going up
Panic spread among the spectators
after the explosion. 1t seemed in
conceivable that Law could have es-
capped ;being blown to bits and sever
al women became hysterical. His
miraculous escape was explained o.
the fact that the head of the rocket,
on which he stood shoulder high in
hollow extension was made of an
extra thickness of steel. The rest Of
the rocket, six feet in length and two
and a half feet in diameter, was
blown to atoms.
Law walked unassisted to nearby
house to have his burns dressed.

Twin CITY LOOK
At THE NORTHERN
Must Make Considerable
Noise to Get Notice, De-
clares Sport Writer.

Just at present, twin city sport
writer's. ASSESSED With the American
association idea, are loath to take up
the pen and boost the sister organi-
cation. the Northern league. In fact,
some of them go 10 far as to say that
the new circuit will have to make a
great deal of noise" to get any no.
tice. But despite this fact, the clubs
of the Northern are doing fine work,
and after April % will make a great
deal of noise"
Here is one idea of the Northern
league. Cleaned from the sport col
umns Of the Minneapolis Journal:
Eclipsed by the entrance Of the
American association, National and
American leagues into the sporting
circus, the little Northern leaguers
have discovered that they must make
a great deal of noise now to get any
notice at all. The excitement caused
by the snap Of the ringmaster's whip
that started the three big rings going
this week has thrust the class c fell
lows into an obscure corner of the big
top.
Humbly the Northerners have been
going through their stunts despite the
discomforts of their lot. They have
been all but buried by the sawdust
that the headliners have been kicking
up and almost drowned by the pink
lemonade that careless spectators have
spilled down on their long-sufferine
heads but they have not complained.
During the week all eight clubs fell
into line, spring training camps were
opened and reports from each SAYS the
youngsters are beginning to hit their
stride. Some 800 aspirants for places
on n eight teams are being tried out.
but the majority of the recruits are
green and untried and for that reason
little can be told at this time as to
their real ability. A number of cana
BILE players have been snasged by
each of the managers, and the way
things look now the new league will
see some high class baseball during
the summer.
The weather in this section of late
has not been the kind to make man
ayers grow enthusiastic, but etween
showers and cold snaps some good
HICKS have been administered. Be-
cause 1t is the first year of the organ

NAY BECOME
ED WALSH'S u

New York. April 15.-"1t isn't the
break on Walsh's splitter that makes
his delivery 80 wonderfully effective"
opined Frank Chance after Ray Cald-
we'll had allowed that Ray Keating's
moist ball takes a nastier slant than
Big Eds, but the speed he piles into
his delivery. l have hit against several
spitballists who have better breaks
than Eds. but none had anything like
his speed
Spitball Requires Speed.
AS a general proposition a spitball,
without speed. is about as useless a
delivery as most any one could think
of-chiefy because no one has yet
mastered the knack OF getting it to
break properly. The thing can be
done, but never has been. And so
Russ Ford worked on one at odd mo-
ments all through the training siege
In Bermuda.
What will come Of it is another
thing, but this far Ford has gone: He
can make the thing break twice and
either in or out as he elects to pitch
1t. So far he has been unable to con-
troll 1t more than once in ten attempts.
The first break. when the ball is about
midway between the pitchers box and
the batter, is easy enough.
But the second kink. except on rare
occasions when 1t breaks squarely over
plate. hangs back until 1t has pass
ed the batter and just before it reach
es the catcher. Now and then Ford
gets just the proper amount of mois-
ture on the ball and everything is
serene and lovely. But 1t is only now
and then.

NORTHERN LEAGUE
WILL Be STRONG
Is Prediction that Comes
From Winona-Much
Faster than Expected.

winona. Mimi. April 15.-The
Northern league is going to be much
faster than I'M of The maSnates and
managers of that circuit had counted
upon. For instance the little Millers
have released thirty-seven of the
youngsters that were corraled in the
first frenzied rush for material. Tim
Flood, whose Winnipeg squad is At
Ottumwa working out with Ned
Egan's team, has made arrangements
to receive several infielders and at
least one pitcher from western league
teams. Charley Jones has his weathei'
eye anxously turned toward The
Saints, and he is hoping that some
talent will come his way from this
source. All together, it is pretty evil
dent that the Northern league will
play fast ball. M those who mag.
med it would be made up of clubs re-
cruited from the corner lots are
nightly mistaken.
Fans owe the circuit are beginning
to awake to the fact that this is going
to be some classy organization. While
1t is early to predict. it is the opinion
Of some that the team coping the
bunting will have to be about the
best ball club that has played in these
parts for the past decade or more.
Just days remain until the
opening Of the Northern league sea-
son. A "Trip 10 the omces OF the dl1-
ferent associations would convince one
of the preparations that are be-
ing made for this suspicious event.
There are a hundred details to be ar

This is the way the major leasu
teams should finish if they run t
their true form this season.:

The spring training trips of the ma
jor league clubs have failed to pro-
duce any startling changes in the pa

standings of the teams.

and the team still is 1oundering and

chosen wisely this season, hut his hest
fancy about selecting the team has not
helped its chances. He vas in a hard
position and handicapped by having
so much strength that cannot be used

the team. Chance always la been a
wonderful judge of players. and the
team as it lines up now looks much
stronger than the material did when
he started.
The peculiar training conditions will
have a big effect on the race for the
first two months. Every team, with
the exceptions Of Cincinnati and
Brooklyn had great luck with the

all Of them had wretched weather
conditions to contend with at the fin
