oriain of Norfolk Jackets.

What is the origin of the Norfolk
jacket. and why the straps or plaits
and belt?
The name Is derived from the county
OF Norfolk, on the southeast coast of
England. The shores Of the county are
marshes lntersected by tidal streams
locally known as "the broads," an ideal
spot for shooting wild fowl. The mn
ture of the country is such that the
shooter must carry his own game Bug
and ammunition, for leaders would be
more bother than they are worth. Ac
cordlngly there developed n shooting
jacket with conveniences for this en-
ployment, the belt for the carriage of
the game bag and powder horn or car
touche box, the straps to distribute the
weight more fairly upon the shoulders.
Modern fashions of tailoring have re-
tanned these convenlences In form of
conventionallzed ornament.-New York

In July, 1910, Frederick Holden Tur-

had n stroke Of paralysis which left
him quite helpless, yet with his mind
perfectly clear. Soon after his seizure
he told his nurse to fetch drawer
from his writing table. He made her
take out particular paper and put
this into an envelope and seal It He
then said. Write on the outside. My
last will" This she did also.
The envelope was put back and the
drawer locked

Evers Takes a Fling at Frank
Chance Says Peerless
One is Jealous.

Chicago. Feb. 1S.-Manasers Evers
of the Chicago Cubs. has been the
target of criticism ave since he was
appointed leader by President MUIR
ply. He has declined to: reply up to
the present time, but the assertion
made by Frank Chance in New York
recently that Joe Tinker was the bet
ter player caused him to come out
Of his state of conservatism.
Il never cared. to say anything
about Chance or Tinker" said Evers.
~ could have given several articles
up to date. but l chose to remaix
quiet, as I had other things to think
about. l do not know why Chance
picks on me. If he has anything
against me. let him come out and say
to enter into a controversy with him.
It is his privilege to say Tinker, Is a
better ball player than I am. but he
never said SO until now It was al
ways the other way before ] vas APP
pointed manager Of the Cubs. Ny
word does no have to be taken on
noM wi Ask : snS c' Of the yd ball wI players Sns
they will say the same thing.
As for Chance desiring to trade
Tinker. know that to be a fact, for
he asked me II / would play with
Mike Donlin of the Phillies. 1 like
Chance, and always did, and L do not
think a player on his team eve per-
formed n harder. Il do not know
whether he is jealous of my getting
the position as leader. / do not like
to think that, but from the remarks
he is making ! am forced to-: He
told me on the opening day last sea-
son. when he quit playing, that he
would rather see me succeed him than
any other player on the club. SO I
cannot conceive why he is sayins
these things about me.
Whether 1. have the ability to
manage a ball team l will not say, but
l am willing to let results prove it.
This season will show who Is the best
lleader-Chance, Tinker or myself. I
am confident we will surprise them
all. When l first accepted this posi-
ton the Cubs were in seventh place.
Now they have us on top fighting for
the flag. / talked to McGraw in New
York and he told me there were only
two teams in the league he expected
any trouble from and they were the
Cubs and Pirates.
Tinker ought to keep quiet until
he does something. in Cincinnati He
certainly is not starting out right. He
has been tampering with my players.
He talked to Mike Heckinger and
Tom Needham. 1 do not: know -wheth-
er he made an effort to sign them,
but.I am. sure he is. trying to. make
them dissatisfied. He also went to

THE OLD H00D00
Washington Team Never
Better Than Sixth Until
the 1912 Season.

For the first tinle since Washington
has been represented in organized
baseball. a team which has carried
this city's colors in Il pennant race
has finished in a respectable position.
says j. Ed Grille in the Washington
Star.
Washington has been in baseball
since 1873, and. barring a few occa-
sions when its team has heen as good
as sixth. it has held a promi-
nent position in n one of the nu-
merous pennant struggles in which it
mas taken part.
Last year was the first that Wash
1ngton really has heel on the baseball
map. So to speak. though for forty
years it has been trying to win its
spurs as. a contender in every one of
the pennant races. Most of the time
It's efforts have been rewarded with the
tail-end berth.

The accompanying table shows in
what leagues Washington has been
represented and gives an idea of how
many failures have been recorded
against it. 1t was a failure in the first
professional league in 1873 and con-

has succeeded so splendidly in every
other branch of athletics that it is
believed he will soon be counted as
one of the real stars Of the diamond.
Another Indian who is expected to
dist aguish himself in fast company
this year is Mike Baienti, the Alas
kan redskin. who has just signed up
with the st. Louis Browns. Balenti
made a very good rocord on the dia-
mond while at the Carlisle Indian
school.
Other Indians may show to advant-
age before the 1913 season is far adj
vanced. Several players in the big
leagues, including Zach Wheat Of
Brooklyn, though not full-blooded
redskins. have a goodly amount of
Indian blood in their veins.

IS GOAT"
AMONG AMATEURS
Policy in Athletics at Car
Isle Cause of Indians
Professionalism.

Washington, d. c., Feb. 1S.-Just
how far the policy pursued by govern
ment authorities in the administration
Of the Carlisle Indian school contrib
tued to the professionalism of James
Thorpe, the Sac and Fox athlete who
created such a furore at the Olympic
games last year, is a mooted question
in Washington.
That policy involved in the cas- Of
this unfortunate Indian had for its in
ception the motive OF encouragement
sustaining In any line of endeavbr in
which they were fitted. It has been
known for many years that Carlisle
athletic teams have been organized in
a fast and loose fashion SO far as
amateur athletics rules are concerned.
Most Of the noted Carlisle athletes> in
recent years would not have been
eligible or any other college team IN
the country. .
Athletics at Carlisle are sustained by
the students themselves. Even the
athletic field. it is understood, was
paid for by:receipts from athletic con-
tests, band concerts and such other
forms OF public endeavor in which the
Indians were either. fitted to or per-
mitted to engage in. Under. Maj. Will

was in charge at Carlisle. the policy Of
pay as You go" was applied to tina in
dividual Indian. who was encouraged
to seek employment wherever 1t could
be obtained. This policy was intended
to develop an. Independent spirit and
to convince the Indian that he could
make his w way, in the world, II he
tried. The penchant OF. the American
people to athletic hero worship and
Especially to encourage Indian ath-
letes had it's effect at Carlisle beyond
all question. . =. :
In addition to the straight out pro-
fessionalism Of some of its athletes.
concerning which it is extremely
doubtful whether the Indian athletes
were properly advised so far as their
amateur standing was concerned, the
Carlisle athletic teams in the past. al
least. have failed to come within the
rules laid down for amateurs ana ad.
hered to by most OF the college teams
which Carlisle played.
One phase Of this situation is per.

Probably jus, as good a player as
Bender is Chief Meyers of the New
York Giants. He also has signed up
for 1913. AS a backstop he is just
about the last word, and ''Muggsy''
McGraw expects this redskin to be a
big factor in winning another pen
nant for the Giants this coming sea-
son.
Two Indians who are just coming
up on the big league horizon but
from whom much Is expected this
year are George johnson and Jim
Thorpe. twirlers respectively for the
Chicago White Sox and the New
York Giants. Johnson pitched for
St. Joseph last year and made a rec
ord which attracted favorable atten-
ton from Comiskey. Thorpe hasn't

which offers higher courses in educa-
ton than are afforded at Carlisle,
where some Of the students enter with
an extremely low grade. of learning.
1t Will, of course. be granted that
encouragement the authorities of
Carlisle can give the Indian to pursue
his education along given lines at the
neighboring institution ia m%eritorious
and should be continued. The connec-
ton of such students with Carlisle is
not thereby wholly lost, but it is
doubtful If under strict rules such stu
dents would be eligible to represent a
bona-ide college team.
The prominence. Of Carlisle in the
athletic world has served to attract to
that institution high class Indian ath-
letes from other Indian schools. So
far as can be learned, no Limitation
ever has been placed on such additions
to the athletic proves Of the school.
nor has any residence rule obtained.
Upon arrival the good athlete took his
place Immediately upon an athletic
team and represented Carlisle without
question. e..
Furthermore, no limitations hava
obtained as to the length of time a
student may represent Carlisle in ath-
ietics.. A student might play upon
the Carlisle team throughout his en-
tire course and. then continue to play
as long as he remained in Dickinson
college pursuing a higher course Of
education. There also have been in
stances. OF noted Carlisle athletes who
have played on other Indian teams in
the west for several years. following
which they played a number Of years
at Carlisle itself.
There is no disposition to engage in
carping criticism at the policy pur-
sued at Carlisle, except only 10 far as
relates to the general athletics Of the
United States. So long. as the policy
which was pursued at Carlisle, as late
as two years ago remains it certainly
behooves the amateur athletics off,
Gals Of the United States to use ore
than ordinary caution In accepting In
dian athletes on national teams which
are to participate in International con-
tests held under the strictest amateur
rules possible. d
In an endeavor to do good for the
rank and file Of the students Of
Carlisle. 1t is not impossible. that
James Thorpe has been more sinned
against than SHINING. That the pres
ent athletic officials at Carlisle were
wholly Ignorant Of Thorpe's profess
sionalism is generally believed.
Furthermore. Thorpe is no a full
blood Indian. According to the au-
thorities here a rich strain Of Irish
blood lows in his. veins. and whom 1t
is recalled that Ireland has turned
out a multitude Of great athletes the
combination Of Indian and Irish blood
in Thorpe is believed by many to be
responsible in no small degree for his
tremendous proweSs al an athlete.

Little Expected Of Team.
The Nationals of last spring were
like many teams which had preceded
it. 1t was experimental. Much praise
had been showered upon the newcom-
ers and the new manager. but. after
all. who could figure or suspect tina
Washington was to have a team which
would prove a contender in the race?
Forty years of failures seemed an in
surmountable barrier to overcome.
Some believed the town was buried
under some sort Of a jinx so far as
baseball was concerned: others argued
that no effort was really ever made
to bring a winner here. The start
was not unusual. Sometimes the team
won. but most of the time it lost. Not
until June was reached did it begin
to show ome rather astounding form.
and TO the surprise of the baseball
world made one entire western trip
without losing a game. actually win
ming seventeen straight.
From that time to the finish the
team was in the race. Until i've weeks
before the season ended it had a
chance to finish at the top. an honor
