who is the bad player. and after I find
out he does not stay on the team long.
the P. L. when he was asked what
would be done with the peerless first
baseman. ''Well. we Will find a place
for Hal all right. Mr.. Farrell tells
me Chase wants to play first base,
but Chase says he can play second.
I think Chase also can play second,
be as much of a star at second as at
first.
"Of course, the argument is ad-
vanced that It would be foolish to try
to make second basernan OF a great
first baseman, especially a left hand
ed one. Of course, 1t would be big
handicap to the average 1eft-hander
to play second, but Chase is no av-
erage player He is SO fast that I
think he can do as we'll at second as
he did at first. And If Chase does not
make good, guess we can find some
other position for him. However, the
situation is this: Can play only first
base, and Chase can play almost any
position. I think the team will be
stronger with both of US in the game,
SO we must find a new position for
Chase, and as Chase would much
rather play second base we cannot
we'll disappoint him.

LEON KETCHEL
GAME YOUNGSTER
LOT OF PUNISHMENT FROM
DANNY RIDGE.

Leon Ketche1, brother of the late
midd1eweight champion, Stanley Ket-
chel, recalled the fighting spirit of
that great fighter at the Olympic A.
debutted against Danny Ridge in a
ten-rol11d bout. Leon is a miniature
reproduction of Stanley, and showed
the same gameness and fighting reck-
Iessness that made his brother the
most fearless battler in the ring
Leon is an unschooled youngster,
and has yet to pass through the ref1n-
ing stage of the fisticuf game. But
when the rough edges are finally worn
off, it is probable that Leon will prove
as much of a terror to the present
crop of fighters as was his brother to
the ringsters of a few years back
Courage and ability to absorb pun
ishment appear to be Icons only quail

Rrownfns's Vision and Memory.

Browning had the faculties OF vision
and memory developed to abnormal de-
gree Grant Duff records a cony ersa-
ton with Sir Laurence Alma-Tadema,
who gave me a curious account of
Browning's sight, maintaining that
with one eye he could read the number
of a picture at the end of a long gal
Iery, while with the other (sic) with
out artificial assistance he could write
an ode of Horace on piece of paper
the size of threepenny bit"
Another dfarist, Mrs. Andrew Crosse,
heard Browning in the course of a
discussion on Byron quote the whole
of the "Vision of Judgment after
remafking, ST have not seen the poem
for forty years, but this is craven on
my memory.''-London Chronicle.

CAPT. MILLER, POLO
MANAGER, 4s TODAY, PRE-
Diets BRITISH VICTORY

Captain Edward barley Miller, d.
S. O., polo manager of the Hurting
ham Club of England, is celebrating
his forty-eighth birthday today by
making preparations for recovering
the Westchester trophy, embIematic
of the worlds rolo championship.
Capt Miller, who recently visited New
York to complete the arrangement
for the international match to be play
ed on Long Island next June, is con-
fident that the Britishers will be
triumphant and regain the cup On
this subject Capt. Miller said:
1--WE learned a great deal the last
time we were on this side, and liked
your game so much that we have
adopted it in England. We have now
abolished the offside rule and play the
free game. and L think this will put
us on better playing terms
While he is an enthusiastic devotee
of Polo, Capt. Miller's connection with
the birmingham team is that of man
ager The English championship
team will represent the pick of the
British army, and will include one
nobleman, Lord Wodehouse, son of
the Earl of Kimberley.
Capt Miller has arranged to send
over about forty polo ponies for the
use of his team. The animals will
reach New York about a week before
the date set for the match, as 1T has
been found that after six weeks the
change of climate begins to tell on the
English ponies. The mounts are to be
exclusively English and Irish stock,
and, like the players, will be the pick
of the United Kingdom. The Duke
of Westminster is financing the trip
of the birmingham team to America
Capt Miller was born Feb. IL, 1865,
and began his army career with the
Seventeenth Lancers. at the age of
twenty-one. He served in South
Africa as brigade-major of imperial
yeomanry, and was made a Compan-
ion of the Distinguished Service Or
der for gallantry in action. Besides
managing the birmingham club, he
has long been captain of the Rugby
Polo Club, and his book, Modern
Polo" is an authority.

Character.

( In the course of some literary
researches, an American of Eng
lish decent had occasion to con-
suit a firm of publisher in Lon
don. His letter brought a reply
signed by some one who bore his
own family name, and further
correspondence disclosed the fact
that the English writer was a
distant relative, the descendant
of a collateral branch.
81 am glad to say" he wrote,
| that | have never known any
one who bears our name who is
unworthy to bear it. My grand
parents were farm laborers, and
my father began in the same
way; but he had the courage to
apprentice himself, at about
twenty-five, for seven years to
the trade of carpentry. He was
but common mechanic all his
life, but the best man and the
truest Christian | ever knew. |
never think of him except with
pride and love and respect"
The writer, it is plain, stands
higher than his father on that
silly little ladder which we call
"the social scale:" but be knows
what character means, and un-
derstands the part his fathers
character played in enabling the
son to climb; and, moreover, he
is grateful.
His point of view is refresh
ing. How splendidfy it shines in
contrast with the attitude Of
those who, having climbed a lit
tie way up the nil of mammon,
always trying to forget the toll
strained hands that gave them
the first boost!

Bryan a Candidate in 1916.

A fair conclusion from state
ments made byssiSecretary of
State Bryan in his address be-
fore the the Pennsylvania Leg
islature on Tuesday is that he
will be a candidate for the DEM
ocratic nomination in 1916, and
that President Wilson will not
accept denomination, no mat
ter how strong the pressure on
him may be, and that there is an
Observation-Disclosures him and
President Wilson that the latter
will leave him a clear field to win
the nomination, says the Savannah
Morning News.
The Democratic national plat
form contains a declaration in
favor of the one term principle
and pledges theI candidate nomi-
mated on that platform to uphold
that principle, that is, the Presi-
dent is pledged to the one term
principle. In thescourse of his
speech after notifying his audi
ence that he was present as 4
substitute for the President Mr..
Bryan said:
1t is settled principle Of this
country that a platform is bind
ing upon every man that runs on
that platform. Some men violate
platforms because they say they
cannot violate their conscience.
No man should violate his con-
science. but that does not mean
that he should violate MS party
platform. 1t seems that his con-
science should begin to work be-
fore he is elected and not after
ward. A man who violates a
party platform and 5etrays his
party and the people is q crimi-
nal worse than the man VIII en-
beetles money"
1t is not apparent from the
foregoing that Mr.. Bryan mott
fled the President OF the suo-
stance of what he was going y
say, since he appeared as his sui
stitute. and that the President
consented to his calling attention
to platform declarations and
binding effects as those da.iara-
tons on all candidates who ran
on the 1912 platform?
