Old Cleveland Pitcher Claims He Was No Slower Than Present Pitchers

1 Many wives in najor league cities breathed signs of relief one day in 1901, when it was announced that Mig Cup py had made his exit from the big leagues Not that the women dis liked Cuppy ,but-where Is the woman who wants to keep supper warm aft CT it is ready, while hubby makes his way bomeWard from the ball gamer It was always a 6.3O supper when NE pitched. Cuppy was in the big league when dinner was served at noon, and only in our most exclusive little circles had it displaced supper" as the even ing repaSt.
 freddy George J. Cuppy is the pro- pFietor of a billiard hall is Elkhart, Ind. He is 43, a native of Eaton, O., has a larger naidship cross section than in the '96s, and Ieeks prosperous. Cuppy was painfully slew 1a the box but he was the star side kick of that ether grand pitcher, Cy Young, on the Cleveland team from 1892 to lS9s- What veteran but recalls these Home fie struggles of 1S35-96 between the the peerless old Baltimore ereWd, with the Temple cup at stake? Cleveiand won the cup in 1885 with Xeung and Cuppy on the firing line against Hof- fer, Mcafahon and EspeE, but lost ifa 1906, when Wilbert RebertseR had Joe Corbett working like eieek and Hof- fer was at his best.

being in defending the palace from
the assaults of the revolutionists.
General Felix Diaz, with a large ma
jority of the regulars behind him, OBJ
tanned practical control in the capital.
President Madero was asked by the
Diplomatic Corps to say yes or no as
to whether he could give protection to
foreign residents. The President did
not answer. The diplomats then sent
a message to General Diaz, informing
him that they would look to him to
give such protection.
President Madero and his Ministers
left the palace about 10 o'clock p. m.
1t is believed they have gone to Cha
pultepec. General Huerta was left in
charge of the loyal force in the palace.
1t was reported that President Ma
dero and his family had fed from the
capital and toward the eastern coast.
1t was also rumored that all members
Of the Cabinet had resigned.
The uprising came with a sudden
ness that stunned the city. Led by
students of the military school, sup
posedly loyal troops first freed the i'm
p~risoned Generals, Felix Diaz, nephew
Of the deposed President, and Ber-
of the revolutionary movement, and,
with those intrepid leaders at their
head, attacked the National Palace.
The Penn's Grove record., 1913-02-14

Pointing from a window in the palace
to a mob, for the most part boys, car
rying the national flag and crying vi
vas for Madero, the President said:
There you can see the people are
with us. 1t is said that the Govern
ment stands alone, but that is not
true. The Government has the sup
port of the people. There will be no
more temporizing; we are going to
use the iron hand"
From his headquarters in the arse
nal Diaz sent a message to Madero,
demanding his resignation and sur
render. The President replied, declin-
ing to accede to this demand.
An American, E. l.. Ramsey, form
erly of Galveston, was among the
seriously wounded. Stray bullets en-
tered the embassy buildings.

SCOTS party found Captain Roald
Amundsen's ten and records at the
Pole. On the return trip eleven miles
from One-Ton Depot a blizzard over
took them. They had suffered from
hunger and exposure, and the death
of Scott, Bowers and Wilson was due
to that. They died soon after the
blizzard swept down on the party.
Oates died from exposure a few
days later. The death of Evans re-
suited from a fall.
The story of the finding of the
bodies is tragic to the last degree. Re-
ceiving no news of the explorers and
after the failure of several previous
efforts 70 get in touch with the south
ern party, the search party left Cape
Evans at the end of October last in
two sections. Party No. 1 was headed
by Surgeon Atkinson, who had dog
teams, with Mr.. Cherry Garrard and
Demetri, the dog driver.
No. 2 was in charge of Wright and
consisted of eight men with seven In
dia mules. Realizing that a long and
widespread search was inevitable both
parties took several months provi-
sions and both parties reached One
Ton camp, which was found intact.

he expressed the hope that he would
die in his sleep, but this merciful end
was not granted him. The next day
he staggered out of the tent in the
teeth of the raging blizzard, saying he
would be away some time, and his
companions never saw him again.
Describing this incident, Scott
wrote: eve knew Oates was walking
to his death, but though we tried to
dissuade him we knew it was the act
of a brave man and an Englishman."

latitude 70 degrees 40 minutes south,
longitude 1859 degrees % minutes east.
This was thus their last camp, for
here, within eleven miles from One
Ton Depot, their bodies were found
six months later.
The blizzard in which Scott and his
companions succumbed must have
been of terrible severity to overcome
them while in the shelter of their tent,
but they had evidently suffered ter
ribly beforehand from exposure and
battling against the previous biz
yards.

al, and it soon became evident that
the reinforcements which the Govern
ment had sent to attack the rebels
were not inclined to fight.
One after another these supposedly
loyal forces signiied their intention to
surrender, their chief riding to Diaz
under flags of truce and extending
their hands in congratulation.
Before long almost all the mounted
police whom the President had led
against the rebels a few hours pre-
viously were now in the rebel ranks.
The artillery from Tacubaya clat-
tered into the city, but not to oppose
the mutinous troops. Instead they
joined the movement and lined up with
the rebels about the arsenal.
A truce was called, and papers Of
surrender were formally signed. This
victory gave to the rebels a majority
of all the cannon in the city and left
to President Madero probably not
more than % per cent. of the capitals
fighting force.
The heaviest fighting took place in
the neighborhood of the Federal pris-
on, after the revolving troopers had
succeeded in affecting the release of
Generals Diaz and Reyes.
Both were then taken to the palace
by the troops, followed by huge crowds
shouting for Diaz and Reyes, and
death to Madero." Their arrival was
marked by shouts of the enthusiastic
thousands of common people throng-
ing the locale plaza. The cavalry,
about 500 strong, and the infantrymen
lined up the full strength of the pal
ace almost 700 feet. Other troops
were lying on the pavement in Skin
mish order.
Suddenly the south door of the pal
ace, known as the Presidents door,
flashed open and from within came the
report of a rifle. At the same moment
General Reyes, standing near Diaz.
| crumpled into a heap. He had been
shot through the head, and died in
stantly. His death was the signal for
general fight.
In an instant the machine guns on
the roof of the cathedral began spit
ting their hail of lead and steel, and
simultaneously the artillery, which

and Reception.
Governor Wilson learned with de-
light that his neighbors in Princeton,
whom he has known for twenty-seven
years, are planning a great farewell
on the night of March l. It is pro
posed that all the townsfolk shall
turn out in a procession and march 10
the President-elect's cottage, in Cleve-
land lane, with a brass band at the
head of the parade.
At the cottage there will be singing
OF Princeton college songs and speech
es, and it is expected that the Presi-
dent-elect will respond with a speech.
The idea is to show the Governor the
esteem in which he is held by his
neighbors.
Joseph Hoff, a member of the Demo-
cratic State Committee of New Jersey.
and an old resident of Princeton, is in
charge of the arrangements.
we want to show Governor Wilson
that while We are sorry to lose him as
a neighbor we are glad that a resident
OF the town is going to the White
House." said Mr.. Hoff.
This farewell is not connected with
the plans of the student body of
Princeton to escort the President
elect to Washington. At least 1000 of
the students will go with him. They
have chartered four special trains Of
thirteen cars each, and have assigned
to the use of the President-elect and
his family the private car Federal,
which he used throughout the cam
paign.

SCOTT AND FOUR OF PARTY DIE
AFTER REACHING SOUTH POLE
British Expedition TO the Antarctic Succeeds i'm Repeat

B. Zard After Triumph
THREE BODIES WERE FOUND In One TENT

London.-Capt. Robert F. Scott, R.
N, British explorer and veteran of
two Antarctic expeditions, together
with four members of his party, died
as they were returning from the South
Pole. Scott reached the pole on Janu-
airy IS, 1912. He died on March 30,
155 miles from the base of supplies at
Cape Evans.
A blizzard overlook the party fresh
from their success, and in it's grip
they persisted. Besides Captain Scott
these are the men that died:
DR.. EDWARD WILSON, chief of the
scientific staff.
Lieut.. H. R. BOWERS, Royal Indian
Marine.
Capt. L. E. G. OATES, in charge of
ponies and dogs.
Petty Officer E. EVANS.
All other members of the expedi-
ton are in good health.
The first rumor of the tragedy came
in a message from Oamaru, New Zea-
land, when it was believed that the
entire force had been wiped out.
Later, however, the number of dead
was reduced to fve-the commander
and the four brave men he had taken
with him for the final dash to the
Pole.
The Pole was reached January 18,
1912. 1t was on the way back to the
base camp that the party was over
whelmed. They had succeeded, but
they lost their lives.
In making the announcement at a
special meeting of the Royal Geo.
graphical Society, Douglas M. Fresh

Reyes was shot in the first en-
counter. In four clashes throughout
the day $50, half of them non-combat-
ants were slain. Many women and
children were among the dead, which
strewed the city's principal plaza.
Madero, who at the outset led on
horseback a band of still loyal follow
ers but was persuaded to seek shelter,
pins his faith of holding out on only
1,00e troops, still outside THE city.
1t is understood the various revolu-
tiouary leaders have agreed to unite
on General Trevine as Provisional
President as soon as Madero can be
~dislodged.

dication of the strength of the Gov
eminent and the loyalty of the army.

Especial Trenton Correspondence
Trenton. = Judge Rellstab, in the
United States Court, directed a yer.
dict OF not guilty in the case of Will
liam A. Dupuy, a Washington, D. c.,
newspaper writer, against the Cam

puy charged that the Camden paper
had Illegally published an article
which had been copyrighted by him.
Evidence was produced to show that
the article in question had been print
ed in the New York Times the day
before it had been copyrighted, and
that it had been reprinted by the Cam
den paper without knowledge of any
copyright.
During his testimony Dupuy con
tended the word copyrighted" mad

cation. OFT & Carr, counsel for the
defendant, objected to this testimony.
on the ground that the evidence was
not specific, as it did not prove the
Identification of this particular article.
Judge Rellstab said he believed the
evidence indicated such Identification.
In directing the verdict, however,
Judge Rellstab held that notice of
copyright was not given the Camden
editor, and that the printing of the
article before it was copyrighted dedi-
Gated it for general use.
Mr.. Dupuy testified that he wrote
an article, entitled Peace Day Be

sold to the Washington Star, and Their
had 1t copyrighted. After being copy
righted, he said, he sent it to the
New York Times, claiming that the
statement copyright" was on the ar
ticle so sent. He received $11.06 from
the Times for the publication of the
article.
Frank F. Patterson, editor of the

publication of the article in question
in his paper, which had been pur-
chased from the New York Times, the
Post-Telegram having a contract with
the Times for the past six years for

The food and equipment were I'M
touched. Atkinson and the dog teams
remained in charge, while Wright's
party set out on the southern track
along which the expedition had gone
toward the Pole.
They had not proceeded far when a
tent vas sighted, which proved to be
SCOTS tent. Hope hat any might be
alive was almost abandoned by this
time, but the rescuers rushed up to
the tent, only to find their worst fears
confirmed.
The dead bodies of Scott, Wilson
and Bowers were found inside the
tent. They had persisted from expos
ure, and lay peacefully together. Rec
ords had been kept up to March 20,
which recorded their arrival at the
Pole and the deaths of Evans and
Oates.
Beside the bodies were found rec
ords of the terrible journey, kept by
Scott almost to the end. They show
that the first death, that of Petty Off
Ger Evans, occurred February II at
Beardmore, caused by an injury re
ceived when travelling over the rough
ice, and this, added to the effects of
exposure, caused his death. Oates,
too, had suffered dreadfully, his hands
and feet being badly f%rostbitten, but
he bore himself manfully and uncom-
plainly for four weeks further, while
the party struggled painfully on. At
length his comrades recognized that
it was impossible he could last much
longer.
Oates himself appeared to realize
this also. On the night of March IL

commanders took care to keep the
news from the 800 odd troops in the

The revolt in it's unexpectedness,

lack of pillaging and looting.
