NEW YORK. April 1.-Heres some
dope. 1t has interested the Climbers
themselves and may interest you fans.
This dope is about what the players
under 'Old Fox Griffith are thinking.
Beginning tomorrow and lasting until
May %. the Climbers are UP against
their hardest test Of the year. Right
off the reel come twelve game with the
Mackmen and the Red Sox. four of
these contests with the Red Sox coming
In Washington. Then comes long
swing through the Western half of The

in Philadelphia before the Griffmen
open their first long home stay n tn.
Capital.
Suppose-and this is about the dope
the players are using-the Climbers
take three out of four from the Red
Sox in Washington. break even with
the Mackmen in Philadelphia and the
Red SoX in Boston and win ten of the
sixteen games in the West, they will re-
turn home with percentage figures IF
.6Sl, or thereabouts. This Is enough TO
land the team in first place at the open
ing of & long home season in which all
the Western clubs, none Of which is
cons 'dered very powerful. are due 20
visit the Capital.
the Climbers believe tnat only Boston
and Philadelphia are strong enough TO
make them travel for the supreme hon
ors. They believe that they can brea K
even with these two Contenders on ;he
road and win majority of all games
with them in Washington. Hence the
dope being followed now.
West Is Weak.
The Western teams are believed TO he
weak, too weak to make an effectual
stand against the Climbers. Last spring
the Griffmen raced through the West.
This record-breaking trip is not expect
ed again this season, but out of every
sixteen games played on the frontier.
the Griffmen believe they should win
at least ten. Every game above this
number will be just so much better in
the fght TO stand off the Mackmen and
the Red Sox.
Cleveland has done some excellent
work this spring and is looked upon as
the most bothersomc team to be played
in the Wset. In old St Louis George
Stovall has a team that generally puts
up terrific fight against the WASH
ington club before surrendering. s'hi-
cago and Detroit are not taken ser S)us-
Iy. Only In Cleveland and st. LoIis
do the Griffmen expect TO find much
opposition in the West.
Owing 10 the schedule of this season.
the Griffmen are soon 10 play twenty
eight games on foreign fields. but they
are not worrying In the least about that.
They believe themselves Better on the
road than any other team In the league.

London, May 19.-Although the suf-
fragettes made their usual efforts to
hold meeting in Hyde Park, the pro-

even larger forces of police were IN
abe to save the women from angry
mobs Women speaking on behalf of
the national union of womens suf-
frage societies tried in vain to make
themselves heard by throng of men
and boys who gathered in expectation
of one of the usual exciting skirm-
ishes. Scores of police, mounted and
on foot, surrounded wagon from
which the speeches were delivered
and prevented the men from getting
close to it. Seeing that 1t was im-
possible to speak above the storm of
hooting and jeers, the women gave up
the attempt and were escorted safely
from the park by the police.
Women representing the Women's
Social and Political union Jared

bearing flags, but each time speech
was attempted and flag was waved,
the crowd seized the banner and bore
1t off in triumps while the police pre-
vented the suffragettes from address

women, however, and stood between
them and the mob.

ORIGIN OF THE LIFEBOAT.
A Broken Wooden Bowl Gave William

Writers are always fond of dilatinG
upon the commonplace origin OF re-

stance of their accidental nature-and
most interesting one-is given by
Noel II. NIethley In The Lifeboat and
Its Story"
In the course of country stroll Will
liam Wouldhave, the inventor of the
self righting lifebOat, came across q
woman who asked his help In lifting a
heavy vessel of water just drawn
from the we'll. On the surface of the
water there foated the broken half Of
q wooden bowl. Wouldbave was
drawn into conversation. and. like
many another who cannot keep his
hands quiet while he talks. he idly
toyed with the floating piece Of wood.
Naturally he turned il over and found
to his surprise that it Immediately
righted itself He inverted 1t again
with the same result, and since he was
at the time actually at work on the
problem Of an unsuitable boat he i'm
mediately realized the Importance Of
his chance discovery.
1t Is an experiment that any one
can readily make for himself. All you
require is the fourth part of hollow

homely language, the quarter of a CO.
coanut shell split from end to end.
Put the shell in a bowl Of water and
you will find that it will not remain
capsized, but will return ut once to an
even keel. In scientific language 1t
will float with only the convex sur

Any child knows that if you cut mp
broken rubber ball you get FIVE or
six nice little round bottomed high
ended boats. 1t remained for William
Wouldhave to discover that these are
all little self righting llfeboats.
