Red Doom Denies
Friction Among Men
Slump of Regulars Causes Manager
to Make Many Changes
In Team.

PHILADELPHIA. July l9.-Despite
the fact that Manager Doom has bench
ed quarter Of his famous old guard
and that it has been obvious that some
Of the regulars have not been playing
their heads of OF late, Doom said to-
day that there is no friction among the
Phillies He made the changes saying
that the second string fellows could not
do much worse than the regulars and he
hoped they would do better.
Magee, hnabe. Doolan and Paskert
have all been taken out Of recent games
and in their places were Walsh Dolan.
Miller and Becker Magee and Paskert
were called upon TO do some pinch hit
ting, but they were not very successful
For some time the Phillies have been
falling of in the play that kept them
the top and IL has been common re-
port that there are factions in the club
one headed by kuabe. But this Doom
denies while he admits that one or two
OF the men have not been playing In

Birmingham Says He Will Continue
to Send in Protests Against
American League Empires.

CLEVELAND. OHIO. July l9.-The
TWO Joes of the Cleveland outfit have
different IDEAS on the umpire question.
Manager Joe Birmingham says he isn't
going TO allow the grilling given him by
President Ban Johnson TO make one bit
of difference in the way he handles the
game and his men, and that he will
continue 20 enter protests to the UNI
plrcs whenever there are sufficient rea-
sons. Slugger Joe Jackson saws he
uoeSu intend TO SO much as speak to
an umpire the rest of the season.
Blrmy says that when he decides he
is ready TO give up the management of
NE cleveland club he'll quit kicking
Il m out there fighting for the club and
ITS rights, said Birmingham. and
there S no umpire in the league who
can truthfuly say that there has ever
been anything personal in my kicks
I'm not gated though 10 have it thrown
INTO the Cleveland club and take il
without even making a protest to the
umpire When l quit fighting il viii be
sure sign I've lost interest in my lob
and then ! ought TO be fired"
That Birmingham allows no profan-
TO enter into any Of his kicks IS
shown by the fact that while he has
been chased of the field three times
his season and TO the bench upon two
other occasions. he has never drawn a
me or suspension from President John
son.

SOX AND GIANTS
BALK ON 7 RIP
AROUND WORLD
OLANS for a tour Of the world by
the Giants and White Sox after
the present baseball season


the Giants and White sox after
the present baseball season
have been perfected with the eX-
ception of one important item. The
players of the teams, if they want 70
trot around the globe, each must put
up $1,000 beforehand to, guarantee
expenses. OF course, If the promo
ters Of the tour make money out of
exhibition games on American ana
foreign soil the players money will
be returned to them when settling
time comes and there may be s.ne-
thing to boot.
But just now many Of the New
York and Chicago players do not see
why they should be asked to put up
so much as a silver dollar In facI,
some of them sneak plainly. They
will not pack their kits and travel
around the earth unless the promo
tiers pay everything. Traction shows
that ball players as a rule never have
displayed eagerness to dig deeply
into their own pockets FOR trips ~
pleasure or barn -storming tours.
When A. G. Spalding took the Chi
Cages and All-Americans around the
world in 1888 he financed everything
and probably lost some money. But
the players had no cause TO worry.
HARLES A. COMISKEY, owner
- of the White Sox; Jimmy Gala
han, manager, and Teo Sullivan,
chief booster, together with Leader
McGraw, of the Giants, are aware "
the unwil,.ngness of some of the
players to put up the necessary guar
antees, but they are not talking for
publication just now. In fact Nc
Graw refuses to discuss the trip until
the Giants are sure of the pennant
and a slice of the worlds series.

The Washington herald., 1913-03-02
Papyrus Redivivus.

There is something very appropriate
in the cabled news that soon paper is
to be made of the sudd of the Nile. We
know from history that this river sudd
is largely composed of papyrus, and
that this was the worlds original
paper.
Masses of papyrus-a tough, almost
parchmentlikc seaweed - and similar
fibrous plants, in some parts of the
Nile River bottoms, are to be found in
blocks sometimes as much as twenty
miles long. Though growing in water
only and often in deep marshes, these
plants are so strong, thick, and tough,
and grow so very close together that
they are capable of sustaining the
weight, not only of men, but of camels
carrying heavy loads.
This same sudd of the Nile has
played its part in history as we'll, for
1t stopped the progress of the expe-
dictionary force of centurions sent by
the Roman Emperor Nero to explore
the Nile River course, and sent them
back with stories of marshy, impassa-
BILE region in which, so they believed,
the river ended.
The Washington herald., 1913-03-02
Praise for the Senate.

1t is satisfaction for the American
people that the Senate, by the decisive
vote of SO TO 10. has gone on record
favoring the building of two battle
ships.
The Democratic vote in the House
against the two-battlcship programme
of the Navy Department is not to be
explained on the ground of economy.
The financial difference between one
battleship and two battlcships could no,
make or break the Democratic econ
omy reputation. Nor can it be as
sumed that the Democratic opposition
to two battieships is the conviction that
the surest way to promote the peace of
the world is TO limit the power of this
nation 10 defend itself from aggres-
sion. That is the belief of some per-
sons who maintain. with disregard
OF history, that If this country should
lead the way in the matter of disar-
mament, other countries would fellow
But the best Judgment of the states
men of the world is that if France and
Germany, for example. arc to be in
duced TO slow down in their policy of
building battleships it will be because
the burden on one or both becomes too
heavy.
The Democratic control of our House
OF Representatives cannot imagine that
one instead of two battleships is going
to affect the whole worlds policy in
the matter of sea power If there is
any reasonable explanation OF the per-
slstent refusal OF the Democrats to
build battlcships which the public SEN
timent demands, it must be that. be-
cause it has been the policy of the
Republican party to build up the navy,
the Democrats think it ought to be
their policy 10 break it down.
This is party stupidity that is al
most incomprehensible, for the Demo
Gratis arc as patriotic as the Repub-
licans.
