THE PAST AND THE PRESENT.
Cid and New Managers of the Red Sox
in Thumbnail Sketches

The following are brief histories of
the baseball careers of ex-Manaser
Jake Stahl of the Red Sox and s.Bil''
Carrigan, who has been made his sue
cessor.
Former Manager Stahl has been in
big league baseball since 1908. The
made his first appearance with Boston,
coming from the University of Illinois,
where he had started as catcher.
On the first year with the Bostons he
came in for championship. After
staying year with the team and being
mostly used for pinch hitter, he was
let go to Washington, where he soon
became manager. The team was unfor-
tunate and, fans turning against him,
he was sold to Chicago in 1905
Stahl, however, could not come to
terms with President Comiskey and all
that season played outlaw baseball in
Jimmy Callahan s City league in Chi
cage. He was reinstated and sold by
Chicago to the New York Yankees in
1909, being placed on the market again
at the end of the season.
President Taylor of the Red Sox inn
mediately obtained him, and in 1910 he
covered first base for the nine. Next
year he retired from baseball and went
INTO the banking business.
Stahl was induced by McAleer to
reJoin the Boston team and assume the
management at the beginning of the
1912 season soon after McAleer became
president. Under Stahl s leadership
the team captured the world s cham
pionship last fall.
Manager Carrigan has been with the
team since 1906, except for a time dur.
ing the season of 1907. when he was
SENT out to Toronto for experience. He
came to Boston directly from Holy
Cross college at Worcester, where he
was backstop on the varsity team for
four years.
Ever since he broke into fast COM
pany he has been recognized as one of
the s'brainiest and most aggressive
catchers in the league. He was one of
sent out to Toronto for experience. He
also took charge of the youngsters on
the spring training seasons.

was made to navigate American
river this week, when Robert
Brownell and Tom Mcdonnell,

troubled waters. The one failure
of this expedition was, that to
much of a cargo was put on the
hurricane deck. At present the
boat is resting easy on the bottom
of the river, weighted down with
a stove and a quantity of tools.
The lighter freight including a
tent and grub, washed off and
went down stream. The boat
was to be used as a ferry at
Big Elk claims, near the mouth of

A GOOD APPROPRIATION.

Not long ago the Gary common
council appropriated $1,000 for a
series of summer band concerts. To
the average Indiana municipality
this may seem extravagant. But it
isn't There have been two weekly
concerts and therell be eight more.
Every one of them is attended by at
least three thousand people. This
indicates that the concerts are ap-
preciated. Some of the other cities
around here that pretend to be alive
and still on earth might do some
thing of the kind to give the tax
payers a little pleasure for their
money.
1t is now considered that the new
housing law, while containing many
admirable features, is too drastic for
the needs of this state. 1t represents
an effort to apply New York city
rules to small Indiana towns. They
won't work.
Apart from it's worthy sections
that provide for light and ventila-
tion the new law presents aspects
that almost confiscate a builder S
property. The law does not intend
that this should be.
In this region 1t is significant that
the building commissioners are ap-
plying a liberal Interpretation to the
law. Were it not SO interpreted
building would be almost at stand
| still. rents would advance because OF
the growing population, and many
men would be out of work. The law
is being interpreted as public senti-
ment wants 1t.

MOTOR CAR SPEEDS ABROAD.

Forty miles an hour is a speed
which is very seldom exceeded in
England on the road, despite the fact
that many motorists talk glibly of
fifty miles an hour and sixty miles
an hour as easy everyday achieve
ments.
AS matter of fact really large
and powerful cars, which are easily
capable of fifty miles an hour or
more. very rarely indeed go at more
than a mile or two above forty, be-
cause most of the roads do not per-
nit of 1t.
Not only SO, car which will at
tain and maintain forty miles an
hour with ease will rarely, if ever,
bore its occupants, because 1t Is fast
enough quickly to put behind 1t any
uninteresting piece of straight open
road.
1t is really only one on the Con-
tinent that the big cars are often
driven at higher speeds, as, oi
course, there are many parts oil

miles and hour is just as safe as
forty miles an hour in Engltnd

A CHOPS-LICKING DEMOCRAT.


That the work of turning the
rascals out" is proceeding at a merry
clip and that patronage is being
rapidly distributed among the faith
full by the present administration is
shown by the nominations which
have been sent to the senate and
which number about 5000, about
in face of the fact that the president
has been much engaged with tariff
and currency legislation and foreign
affairs and the further fact that the
politicians have complained about
the slowness of rewarding demo-
cratic workers. - Jasper County
Democrat.

SELECTIvE ATTENTION.

The essence of the action of the
will is in what is known as ''selec-
tive attention"-the power of the
mind to fasten upon whatsoever it
chooses
If man had no such power he
would be obliged to give his atten-
tion to whatever was closest. or larg-
est, or noisiest, or felt or smelt the
worst or best, according to which
was more immediate or stronger.
Outside considerations would bind
his brain constantly; and it is a
mark of the weak-willed that this is
true of them.
Hence, where the knowing and
the feeling powers are limited, we
have weak-minded or weak-willed
people A man is a Democrat, or a
Republican, or a Baptist, or an un-
believer, because his father was or
his neighbors are; and stubbornness
in adhering to such inherited or
ready-made belief. is mark of weak
ness of the will rather than
strength; for strong will would
lead to study of, and reliance upon,
the facts in the case.
The "selective" quality of atten-
tion is what enables a person to cast
aside strong influences that are near
at hand, and exercise the will upon
whatever he chooses land yet, the
fact remains that the greater in
tensity or immediate attractiveness
of an obejct gives 1t a stronger claim
upon the attention than 1t would
otherwise have.
Hence, we have this formula:
Use your will in selecting the i'm
portant and right thing to do; and
remove from your life everything
that interferes with it.

time and turkey trot manias appear
to be contagious in much the same
way that the medieval manias were.
They are also alike in respect to
widespread prevalence, the popula-
tions of whole continents being
affected. These neurotic phenomena
have been ascribed to widespread
neurasthenia, due to unrest and
other pathological social conditions
says the Medical Times These and
amused" that characterized the
masses, together with the peculiar
influence of a type of music" which
seems to set up characteristic motor
reactions, account for the specially
|sensitized class which may be observ-
ed in action day and night almost
anywhere in the country. This class
illustrates well the principles laid
down by M lie Bon. that authority
on the psychology of the crowd.
Then it has been pointed out that
many ragtime tunes are versions of
negro revival hymns. which perhaps
introduces an element of quasi-re-
ligious emotionalism and also recalls
the interesting fact that dancing has
always been connected with religion,
especially pagan religion The in
stinct to dance is a very primitive
one, and through the dance certain
emotions find outlet and expression.
There is a normal and an abnormal
phase to the subject, however, and
we are inclined to think that 1t is
| the latter that finds exemplification
| in ragtime trotting
