Washington, Aug. lin the pres

of the president, were inferred today
in Myrtle Hill cemetery at Rome, Ca,
the home Of her youth. She lies be-
side her father and mother.
The special train from Washington
bearing the family, intimate friends,
members of the presidents cabinet
and committees from the house and
senate, reached Rome about two
about two o'clock and the casket was
taken at once to the cemetery. The
brief services at the grave were at
tended by nearly the entire population
OF Rome, for very many of the citizens
had known and loved Mrs. Wilson in
her young days.
The tram departed for Washington
soon after the conclusion of the serv-

Funeral Services In White House.
The funeral services for Mrs. Will

HOW PIRATES GOT RlChuo....
cognomen Given Pittsburgh Team Be
cause of Kidnapping of Louis Bier
bauer, Star Player.

The Pittsburgh team, commonly
called the Pirates, got that name as
The result of the kidnapping of Louis
Bierbauer, a star second baseman,
from the Athletics way back in 1888
or 1889. At that time there was a
working agreement between the Ma
tional league and the American asso-
citation by which neither organization
was permitted to reserve more than
fifteen players at the close OF the
season.
The owners of the Athletics, in the
American association, desired to keep
sixteen of their men, but as only If
teen could be legally reserved, the
only way open was to leave one name
off the list and take chance on no
other club picking up the player. Ac-
cordingly, the Athletic management
failed to name Bierbauer in its reserve
list, hoping the omission would be
overlooked. But a friend of the Pitts
bu7gh club noted that Bierbauer's
name was missing, and as Louis was
much-sought player the friend told
Horace Phillips, manager of the Pitts
burgh club. Phillips proceeded to
Erie, Pa, where Louis passed the win
ter months at his home His trap was
successful.
Bierbauer was willing to listen,
tempting offer was made, and when
Phillips returned he brought with him
the plaver's signed contract for the
following season. The procedure was
perfectly regular, under the rules, and
Bierbauer played in Pittsburgh for
many years, but the manner of his
capture caused no end of talk in the
baseball world, and one Philadelphia
writer referred to the affair as an act
of piracy" on the baseball seas. The
Pittsburghers were promptly named
the Pirates" and the title has stuck.
