tAl this lie. to the advantage of the
defender
1t Is understood that Charles C. AL
leom, the owner of the yacht Istr1a,
who has been racing for a few years,
is q prospective challenger for the
Americas cup. Charles E. Nicholson
built Istria for him, and during the
past year hesmade some attempt to
organize a syndicate to build a chal-
lenger but it was understood that the
matter had fallen through. Mr.. Al
leon, it is believed, is at present in
the United States.
New York. March illumination
that a challenge from some other
English yachtsman than Sir Thomas
Upton for the Americas cup is anti
cipated by members of the New York
Yacht club caused considerable specu-
lation in yachting circles, today, but
there was no answer to the question
of whom the prospective; challenger
might be. The rumors of another
challenge were coincident with the de-
cision the New York Yacht club
reached, late last night, to decline the
Upton challenge which was made in
his behalf by the Royal Ulster Yacht
club.
It came as a surprise to many mem
bers of the club when they read the
challenge for the first time, last night,
to and that Sir Thomas not only pro-
posed a challenging vessel not to ex-
coed rs feet on the waterline but that
he would require the defender to be
of the same dimensions.
The deed Of gift Of the America >
cup allows competing vessels OF any
length from 65 to 80 feet and the max
4num length has always prevailed.

Abner Peddy Watched Manager Two

(Sporting News.)
The average recruit to a major
league team reports full of confidence
and is generally the most conspicu-

by his first name and taking the best
place at table, but the Cleveland Maps
at Pensacola have one who is q reg
ular violet for modesty. His name ls
Abner Peddy and he halls from the
red hills of Mississippi.
Abner came disguised in the garbs of
the average youth. There was moth
ing about him to reveal his identity.
He arrived one morning. No one
knew until the next night that he was
In camp. Fred Blanding made the
discovery.
Blanding was sitting alongside a
pillar in the hotel lobby when a fell
low who proved to be Peddy was sit
ting back of him. Peddy finally
gathered enough nerve to ask Bland
ing if he knew Manager Birmingham.
BIanding said he did.
I'D like to talk baseball to him, ;"
said Peddy. Blanding thought ne

had been at the ball park during two
practice sessions in the capacity of a
spectator.
Asked why he didn't see and talk to
Birmingham at the park, he answer
ed:
..oh, just didn't like to interfere
with him."
: Peddy is described as being as tail
and gaunt as he is modest. He is
still shy of the cars, but Manager Biz
ningham believes he has the latent
abilities of star performer.

GEORGIA PEACH MAKES THREE
HITS AGAINST NATIONAL
LEAGUE PITCHING.

Augusta, March 13.-Manager
Dah1en and his players began yester-
day their second week of practice un-
der the most favorable weather con-
ditions. Dahlen lined up his men
against each other and played a rat
thing seven innings game, which was
won by the Dahlens by a score of

One of the features of the game
was the presence of Ty Cobb, who
played right field for the Dahlenites.
The. presence of the popular Georgian
brought out a big crowd of spectators.
Ty did not get in the game until the
second inning. His first time up re-
suited in an easy out, but his next
three trips to the plate Melted him
two singles and a two-bagger, the lat
ter going by Jake Daubert like
shot. Two runners scored on Cobb's
hits and he scored once himself.

HOME RUN BAKER
OF ATHLETICS IS
q YEARS OLD

Bakers birthday will be celebrated
today throughout the United States OF
Baseball and the Dominion of the
Diamond If you ask, What Baker,
you confess yourself an ignoramous,
for there is only one Baker-John
Franklin, alias Home Run-and he
was born at Trappe. Md, q years
ago this very day and date. All
fans remember those critical days in
1911 when the Athletics and the Giants
faced each other as contenders for the
worlds bag-how Baker smashed out
home runs that decided two contests
how the New York bugs, frenzied
with anger, ran amuck and in spirit
of impotent revenge heaved rocks
through bakers windows. Other
worlds series, but never at such crit
heal periods as when Baker proved
his right to the crown of the King of
Swatville.
The hard-hitting third baseman of
the Athletics was born and bred on a
farm, and a farmer he has remained
in the intervals between the practice
of his profession. With the proceeds
of his share of worlds series money
he purchased a fine farm in Maryland,
and there he spends the off season,
looking after his cabbage trees, his
pumpkin bushes, and his peach fields
ally adding to his landed estates. and
by the time when he is forced to
quit baseball he expects to own all Of
Maryland outside of Baltimore and
few other cities.
A number of years ago - about
eight, to be exact-the little village OF
Rfdgely, Md, boosted a ball team
that had among it's members Charlie
Herzog, later of the New York Giants;
the late Simon Nichols, who died in
Baltimore two years ago yesterday,
and J. Franklin Baker. The latter
had been discovered by Herzog, who
thought he saw in the young farmer
the makfngs of brilliant player. In
1907 Baker was signed by Jack Dunn,
of the Baltimore team, but was not
given a chance to display his abili-
ties, and Joined the Cambridge, Nd,
semi Reading, Pa,
needed a third-bageman in 1908. and
Baker was given the job. He led the
Tri-State in extra base hits, and Con-
ME Mack, gobbled him up. AS a
member of the 5000 inf1eld'' OF the
Athletics Baker has been a star. and
his later history. is known to all fans.

Flint, Mich.-Three thousand dollars
was obtained by robbers who blew the
safe in the Boston store owned by
John Stillman. Sunday night. The
burglars made clean getaway, as the
robbery was not discovered until the
next morning, about o'clock, when
the manager arrived.
Entrance was gained to the store
through a rear window, about 10 feet
above the ground. Nitroglycerin was
used in blowing the safe. and the
sound OF the explosion was deadened
by piling clothing, blankets, etc. above
and around the safe. View from the
front end of the store was shut off
by placing large tables filed with
clothing in front of the windows
The only thing in the way OF money
left in the safe by the robbers was
500 worth of checks and a bag of
pennies. The money taken included
Saturdays receipts of the store.
The men left three drills and a new
brace and bit 1t is thought the latter
tool may have been obtained from

WARDEN OATES
WARNS HUNTERS
DECLARES PREVENTION OF AccI-
DENTS is MATTER OF PER-
SONAl CARE.
RULES FOR HANDLING GUN ARE
SUGGESTED.
Fire Arm Should Not Be Used BY
One Unfamiliar With II and M
One Should Shoot at IN
known object.

Lansing, Nov. 10-For weeks hun
tiers have been invading the northern
counties of the state for the deer sea-
son which opened Monday. Each year
thousands of deer are killed and many
hunters also lose their lives, and State
Game Warden Oates, who is a resi-
dent OF the upper peninsula and has
hunted in the north woods each year
for many seasons, gives some timely
advise for those who are deer hunting
for the first time.
Prevention of hunting accidents is
a matter of personal responsibility"
said Warden Oates. Many of the ac-
cidents in the woods each year are due
TO carelessness in carry and handling
firearms, thoughtless shooting at ran
dom or without first determining
the object fired at is game or a hui
man being. | think in the carrying
and use of firearms the greatest judg-
ment should be exercised, particularly
where hunting with others and the
following suggestions may not be out
VI pidNts
Always remove the cartridge from
your gun while carrying it to and
from the hunting grounds. Never
carry a gun with the muzzle pointing
toward any other person. Never car
~ loaded gun at cock. Boys should
not be permitted TO carry guns until
they have arrived at the age of discre-
tion. Never shoot at any object until
you are sure you know what that OBJ
ject is. Never handle gun until you
are familiar with its peculiarities.
The legislature of 1909 repealed the
law making it a felony TO shoot an
other while hunting. thereby remov-
ing the criminal responsibility in &C
cidents of this character, yet every
person who hunts. especially the deer
hunter, should remember he has a
great personal responsibility"

Bit dogs has been recognized aud pro-
hibited b. the Law herein mentioned.
The prohibition referred to is doubly
significant when it is recalled that the
word hound in the old law was chang
ed TO the word dog by the general
game law of 1911 This change is my
opinion shows that it was intended
that not only the presence of rab-
bit dogs should be prohibited, but
that it means all dogs"

In an opinion rendered Attorney
General Fellows holds that a county
clerk or his deputy is not entitled to
charge fee for administering an oath
to an applicant for a hunters license,
regardless of whether such oath is
administered by the county official as
a notary public. 1T does not occur
to me that the fact that the oath is
administered by the clerk in the ca
pacity of notary public changes the
situation" says Fellows. las pointed
out in previous opinion first provi-
sion was incorporated in the measure
first introduced in the legislature for
the compensation of the county clerk
for services rendered under the act
On its passage through the legislature
the clause making such provision was
stricken out thus clearly indicating
the intention of the legislature to pro-
vide no compensation for the clerk
in performing the extra duties placed
upon him"

An important proposition that viii
receive the attention of the railroad
commission Is that of steel coaches.
Commissioner Glasgow has gathered
data showing conclusively that fewer
fatal accidents occur on lines where
steel coaches are used. There is
some question whether an order of the
commission would be effective but
Glasgow says that the legislature
could pass a law applying to all intra-
state roads. Commissioner Glasgow
favors law which would prevent
railroad companies from using steel
cars and wooden coaches In the same
train. where there is one steel
coach in train, the entire train
should be made up of steel coaches"
