snAcKLEroN,s NEW TENT

sHACKLETON's NEW TENT Christiania (Norway) Dispatch to London
 Globe.
 Sir Ernest shackleton and the members of the Imperial transantarctic expedition who have been experimenting with equip ment and rations for their great journey, have returned from the snow fields of Finse and the Hardanger glacier, where the conditions approximate closely to those of the Antarctic.
 While the visitors of the Finse hotel were confined to the building by bliz- gard, Sir Ernest set out for the glacier, his team of five men pulling the heavy sledge, with tents, food and all the camp ing gear.
 The new tent, which had been designed by Sir Ernest Shackleton and MT. Mar ston, member of the expedition, proved a complete success, especially with regard to the case of pitching 1t in high wino Up to now no really satisfactory soiution of this bugbear of Antarctic explorauon has been devised, and all explorers have experienced much hardship in this re- spect
 The difficulty is that with the circula' ton rendered sluggish by the intense coio of the Antarctic, the mere raising or tns arms above the head to pitch any ordi nary tent can only be done at imminent risk of frostbite.
 This new tent can be likened to a couple of motorcar hoods joined together anf folded fiat in the shape of large ID All that is necessary to pitch 1t Is for on' man to lay 1t flat on the ground whils another man throws snow on the snow cloth and a third pulls on guy and raisei the whole structure in { few seconds. IT fair weather 1t can be raised by one mar unaided.

Popular Interest in University

AS the time approaches for the decision in the matter of locating the Methodist university to be built in some city east of the Mississippi Bir- mingham's prospects are remarkably bright.
 Atlanta, which is Birmingham s only formidable competitor, is not put ting forth the organized effort to se- cure the university that might have been expected. Birmingham, on the l other hand, has become aroused to a great pitch of enthusiasm. Of course there will be many large subscriptions to the university fund, but the cause would be materially promoted if popular subscription for small amounts were started subscriptions, say from $5 to $10. It is reasonable to think that in view of the great ma terial benefit that university would be to Birmingham there are thouands of people who would gladly give something Aside from the total that would be realized from small subscrip-, tions the authorities of the Methodist church would feel thatthe university would have the h.arty support of the multicude, and that would go long way toward creating the right sort of atmosphere at the very beginning.
 Birmingham is the geographical center of the section in which the Methodists are to build university. If the university is located here it's stu dent body would have in it young men from every southern state east of the Mississippi, and many from northern states. It is believed that if those who are to become patrons of the institu- tion were consulted they would in most cases vote for Birmingham.
 The bishops who head the educa- tional commission of the Methodist Episcopal church, south, have been open minded as to the location of the university. They naturally wish to do that which is best for the great body they represent. They will weigh well all the questions under consideration. It would be hard for them, indeed, to escape the alluring fact that Birming- ham has the ideal campus site. Let the enthusiasm among business men and property owners continue and the victory for Birmingham will be won.

By John Rodman Drake Q795-1S20) When Freedom, from her mountain
 height.
 Unfurled her standard to the air, She tore the azure robe of night,
 And sat the stars of glory there; She mingled with it's gorgeous dyes The milky baldric of the skies, And striped it's pure, celestial white With streakings of the morning light; Then, from his mansion in the sun, She called her eagle bearer down, And gave into his mighty hand The symbol of her chosen land. Majestic monarch of the cloud!
 Who rear's aloft thy regal form, To hear the ternpest-trumpings loud And see the lightning-lances driven,
 When strive the warriors of the storm, And rolls the thunder drum of heaven Child of the sun! to thee 'tis given To guar1 the banner of the free, To h the sulphur smoke, To warT dway the battle stroke, And bid it's blendings shine afar, Like rainbows on the cloud of war, The harbingers of victory! Flag of the free hearts hope and homo. By angel hands to valor given; Thy stars have lit the welkin dome, And all thy kues were born in heaven. Forever float that standard sheet. Where breathes the foe but falls before us, With Freedoms soil beneath our feet.

Wonder Expressed as 10 Whether Vet

The Pittsburgh Pirates have been a
big disappointment this season. At
the outset they looked like pennant
winners. They secured a big lead in
the early stages of the pennant fight
and it looked as if they might make
a runaway of the race. But all of
sudden something happened. The Pi-
rates started to slide down the chute
and they finally touched bottom. 1t
is hard to tell what is the trouble
with Clarke's team. One criticism Is
that there are too many veterans on

they jumped out of the cellar position,

July WAS FULL OF FREAKS
Accidents, Extra-lnnlng and No-I1it
Games Among Unusual Occur
rences In National Game.


A series OF unusual occurrences
marked July in professional baseball.
Extra-inning. no-hit games and acci-
dents on the diamond were grouped
within few days. as was the case just
about that period in 1913.
Taking these unusual features by
dates, July II saw Clyde Milan in col
lision with Moeller, his teammate. as
both raced for a fly ball in the Wash
ington-Cleveland game, with the result
that Milan received badly fractured
jaw.
On the same day George Weaver,
captain of the Chicago White Sox, col
lided with Demmitt under similar cir
cumstances and was severely injured
about the head.
A no-hit-no-run game and 21-inning
struggle also figured in the record of
Jlly IL. At Pittsburgh the New York
Giants and the Pittsburgh Pirates
played 21 innings. the New York club
winning by 3 to l. Rube Marquard
and Babe Adams, the rival pitchers,
twirled the entire contest. With the
exception of the 24-inning game be-
tween the Philadelphia Athletics and
the Boston Americans on September
/, 1906, this is the longest game ever
played in the major leagues.
Three days previously the Hartford
club defeated the New Haven team
2 to in a 23-inning game in the East
ern association, which is the third
longest game in the record of profess
sional baseball.
The 26-inning contest between Deca-
tur and Bloomington of the Three-Eye
league. played on May 81 1903, still
holds first place. and the Philadelphia
Boston 24-inning match second posi-
tion in the record OF lor.g games.
Getting back 10 July II again, James
Withers, pitcher of the Duluth club of
the Northern league, twirled no-hit-
no-run game against the Virginia club
! of the same league. This is the third
hitless game of the Northern league
this season.
The next day at Lebanon, Pa, the
| Lincoln Giants, semlprofessional
team, varied the schedule by defeating
the home club 23 to 3, and incidentally
scoring eight home runs. Three play
ers each secured two circuit hits.
Moving on to July 10, the records
show that the Wichita club of the
Western league defeated Sioux City
to in a 21-inning game which re-
quired hours and 48 minutes to play.
On the same day at Long Branch,
N, j., Jose Acosta, the Cuban pitcher
Of the seashore team, shut out the st.
Louis American league club without a
hit or run, winning to 0 victory,
in which he did not give base on
balls and had but twelve balls called
on his delivery for the full nine in
nings.

New blood is needed and Clarke will
have to supplant the veterans. Much
wonder is expressed as to whether or
not Hans Wagner win be among those

Pittsburgh team would not seem the
same without the big shortstop.
Honus can still play the game, but
is not as fast as he was. He Is hit

THE old-time first sackers, such as
Anson and Brouthers, couldn't hold a

alone of those early first sackers could

Claude Rossman was about the
last of the old type. The Athletics
learned through Ira Thomas, previ-
ously with Detroit, that Claude
couldn't throw. Hence in Rossy's de-
clining years the Athletics played to
get the ball in his hands and then,
well nothing could stop them on the
bases.
