playing the better ball at present.
The Pirates seem to be able to do
everything but win. The reason for
their slump is poor pitching and the
absence of Hans Wagner. In the ser
les just finished with the Cubs the
Pirates did not look like a team which
will finish out of the second division.
They are not playing intelligent ball
and seem to feel the hOplessness of
their situation.
Philadelphia spurted for a time and
went to the front by a wide margin.
In the last two weeks they have slip
ped badly, the Cubs giving them their
first push, and today they are two
and a half games behind the Giants,
who are leading the league with a
team that has no license to win a
big league pennant.
McGraw has a good hitting team,
but it is not getting away with the
wild baseTUnning that it did last year.

cago's residence in the first division.
The handicap was a heavy one, but
the way the team has stood up is
remarkable. At the start of the sea-
son the pitching staff was such in
name only. Larry Cheney was the
only twirler who had hope of win
ming when he entered the box. De-
spite these handicaps, the tinkeTing
necessary to find an effective outfeld
combination and the natural incOm-
patibilities of the players working I'M

quit or crack under defeat. Tommy
Leach was put in center field as a
last resort, Schultz was reinstated
after a layoff because of weak hit
ting, and Mitchell went to left, a posi-
ton with which he was not familiar.
Luck came to the Cubs. Leach is
playing the best ball of his long major
league career, Schultz is batting as
well as any man in the league, and
Mike Mitchell has developed into a
dependable left fielder. He pulled nine
flies out of the air yesterday and is
playing balls that carOm off the paviI-
ion with such speed that the opposing
runners are leary of streaking for
extra bases. Bridweu filed the hole
at short in wonderful style. No one
expected he would be batting over
.29O at this date, but he has surprised
even his most ardent admirers. He is
fielding like a youngster earning his
place in the big show. Zimmerman
continues to hit and is a greatly i'm
proved fielder. Safer and Evers need
no comment. The pitching staff is
now good and is the equal of any
in the league. HUMPHREYS, discarded
by the Reds, has won his last six
starts and the element of luck has

offer the girl who lie budding into
womanhood not only the opportunity

a moral and mental equipose which l

CEDAR WAXW|NG
Also Called Cherry Bird On
Account Of Wing
Markings

Sioux City, Tribune: Looking as
though little balls of wax hung to the
feathers of the wing, and the Wax
wing has come by its name. but
like many other things in life, this
is an illusion. But this popularity,
added to the soft delicate coloring Of
the bird, makes a beautiful picture.
These birds ale often to be seen ia the
public parks of large cities, searching
among the trees and shrubs for insects
which form their principal diet.
They are also called CHERRY birds"
possibly from the resemblance of the
red on the tips Of their feathers to
little cherries. but more probably be.
cause of their fondcess for that fiuit.
1t cannot be denied but that on GER
tain occasions they do considerable
harm to this fruit, but on the other
hand, the good they do to orchards and
gardens are beyond computation. Cas-
es have been known where an orchard
was overrun with some injurious insect
and a flock of these birds, CHANGING to
arrive on the scene, cleared the
orchard in a very short time of all
it's enemies.
They are sociable birds, travelling
in fiocks of from FIVE to so, though oc-
casionally n may be seen alone. but
in such cases others will probably be
found at no great distance.
After the cherries are gone. the Wax
wing will begin to think about settling
down to housekeeping. They will pair
off, separate from the flock and hunt a
suitable location for their nest. The
nest is rather bulky and made of
grass stems and wool, usually built
ia the crotch of a tree. An apple
tree seems to be preferred for this
purpose, and about 10 feet from the
ground about the right height. The
eggs, five in number, are Blush slate
colored, generally specked with black.
They are probably resident through
the year in the vicinity of Sioux
City.

SO.CALLED ESTATES
London Embassy Believes Amer
leans are Being Swindled
by Lawyers

London, May 5.-The American IN
bassy has been so overwhelmed lately
by requests from America by heirs
who believe that they have enormous
estates in ~chancery in England, that
1t has become necessary to adopt a
printed form for the replies to these
communications.
The only thing the embassy is per-
mitted to do in the matter is to sug-
gest q competent legal adviser to inves-
| tigate the use. 1t cannot itself con-
duct Investigations. 1t does, however,
tell inquirers that there are no large
unclaimed estates ia Great Britain.
The vast sums constantly spoken of as
dormant In chancsry or awaiting
claimants in the Bank of England are
purely imaginery and, according to the
embassy, are too often the invention
OF swindlers who obtain money for
the prosecution of fictitious claims to
these fictitious fortunes.
The funds in chancery open to claim
are few, and average less than 81, 800
each, two only approaching $4,000.
Most of them would consume their
own value in the cost of recovery.
The fullest proof of genealogy is de-
manded, and the lack of data in the
United States for this purpose make
the process very expensive. Further
more, as the passage of 20 years and
sometimes less bars recovery under
the English statutes Of Limitations,
the chance OF picking up an estate In
chancery Is exceedingly small.
