And that is theIeason we haven't
been able to stay awake more than
seven hours a night worrying over
probable purchaser for the Cubs.
We'd much rather talk about the
latest boil on the hand of the Great
Tim.
Joe Tinker was much enthused
over the short game he staged be-
tween a couple of sections of his ath-
.letes yesterday, and shot them
through some strenuous training this
r7orning to prepare for another bat
tie. ~ SHAf
Here is the way they lined up:
Regulars -Wickland, CT; Jackson,
1b; Tinker, SIS; Jones, If; Zwilling, RI;
Zeider, 3b; Farrell, 2b; Wilson, c.;
Prendergast and Mcclure, p.
Blokes- Flack, CT; Grannon, RI;
Kading, 1b; Coles, If; Stanley, 3b;
Beck, 2b; Kavanaugh, IS; Block and
Mulvaney, C; Fisk and LANCE, p.
The Blokes won, too, and there
was plenty of zip to the contest.
The alignment of the first team is
by no means final, and first and sec
ond bases are liable to see some
changes before Tinker gets through
with the switching. Jackson made a
swell showing on first base.
Having fallen before the St. Louis
Browns, the Cubs we're peeved per-
sons and got revenge on the Ath-
letics, winning to in ten innings.
Humphries and Pierce did all the
pitching that was necessary, but
were helped by the fact that Baker
and Barry have not, yet reported to
Connie Mack.
Jimmy Johnston pinged a triple
and stole three bases, each of his
steals figuring in the run getting.
Reb Russell is responding to the
rigorous training program laid down
by Kid Gleason, and has rolled off
several pounds of the extra beef he
was carrying around.

showed in his pitching, which was

and proceeded to crack the whip I'M
til Reb was ready to drop from the
extra toll the Kid imposed.
But it had effects. Gleason will

He passed II batters and committed

assignment, He was touched safely

British ambassador at Rome, spent In
1908 some months In America. He
greatly distinguished himself at Ok
ford. where he carried of several hon
ors, including the Newdigate poem
prize. Lord Rosebery became one of
his warmest friends and induced him
to Join the diplomatic service. He
inaugurated his career In that pro-
fession as member of the embassy
OF the late Lord Ampthill at Berlin and
subsequently headed memorable mis-
sion to the court Of Abyssinia. He
was also one of Lord Cromer's chief
lieutenants in Egypt, and was under
fire during the insurrection in Zanzi-
bar, which eliminated In his driving
out the usurper and the establishment
OF the late sultan upon the throne. He
is also well known as the author OF
at least half dozen volumes of verse,
and Of monographs on Sir Walter

OF upsetting the British gunboat ex-

officer Of the Egyptian army whom he

by the khalifa to construct couple OF

boilers stuffed with gunpowder, in
which was concealed pistol with
string attached to the trigger whereby
the charge could be exploded. The
first mine was laid by the Ismailia,
worked by a native crew, and demon
strated its efficiency by exploding on
the instant, sinking the Ismailia and
killing the crew. including the mine
constructor.
The khalifa was delighted, not at
the accident, but at the testimony to
the power Of the invention, and inn

AwfuI Cost d Napolson,s wara.

One hundred years ago, in the brief
interval of peace between the downfall
of the Napoleonic empire and the be-
ginning Of the campaign ending at Wa
terloo, the countries Of Europe were
striving to repair as best they could
the ravages Of the long wars In which
the ambitions Of the Little Corporal"
had involved all Of them. From the
commencement to the close Of Ma
poleon's career, the levies of soldiers
In France alone exceeded 100000,
and not less than 100000 OF these
persisted in the field, the hospital or
the bivouac. II to these Is added at
least an equal number out OF the
ranks OF the allies, 1t Ii seen that not
less than 100000 soldiers persisted in
the twenty years warfare. And to
these must be added the thousands OF
soldiers who persisted from want and
exposure and. the hundreds Of thou
sands who we're subsequently swept
away by the ravages OF that pestilence
which took its rise amid the retreat
from Russia, and the crowded garri-
sons of the campaign OF 1881, and for
several years afterward desolated IN
succession every country in Europe.
