suppose he will be greatly surprised
to know that the worlds present
genius is an Italian-Marconl, in
Yentor of the wireless telegraphy;
that most eminent historian is an
Italian-Ferrero-a there is also
the illustrious Cesare Lombroso. This
does not mean that Italy is the only
land for geniuses, but we would like all
our friends to understand that man
should not come up and say that a
certain superiority, physically OF
mentally, is a privilege of nation

That an Italian may never be a
cycling champion is no disgrace, when
you realize that there is only one
champion among the millions of
people. That the U. S. A. has the title
holder is much to be proud of. and
that the champion is such a grand
representative as Frank L. Kramer is
more reason for much joy.

Charley Murphy has come under
the trip-hammer of the "Frenchy
Corporation" which is some atten-
ton, let me tell you. He is classed
along with Caesar, Cincinnati and
Solomon, which is some company for
any man, and he is termed "Mexi-
can athlete which is added insult
However, these few lines tell the
correspondents story;

Hurrah! He who tried to queer
baseball is now thrown in the Solo
mon heap" Murphy, the pest of base
ball, no longer eXists-that is, in the
baseball World--and his removal from
the national pastime is one of organ
lied hasehalps brainiest moves. 1t
has been rumored that Murphy would
like to put part of his wad in the
Federal League. If this is so, why it's
Good night, outlaws" Now that the
baseball war is On, let it be to a
finish. May it also be said that the
year of 1914 will make history in the
struggle for baseball supremacy, as
the war of 1776 was the struggle for
independence. In conclusion, we say
that what Erutus was to Caesar,
baseball was to Cincinnati, Solomon
was to Newark, so is organized base
ball to Murphy, the Mexican ath-
lete."
FRENCHY CORPORATION.
Whatever becomes of Murphy, 1t
cannot be said that he hasn't made
good. He has been a spouter and a
disturber, but his ball club was al
ways up in the race and now he gets
out of baseball with more money, to
use his own words, than he ever
dreamed was in the world. But Muir
ply will not stay put" you can bet
on that. He may be quiet for awhile
but soon he'll bob up and make
trouble for somebody. The players
who are condemning him now will
want to play for him later and his
enemies of today will be his friends
of tomorrow. 1t was ever thus.

gree? ORANGEITE.
Thomas A. Edison has an honorary
degree. He was never graduated
from a college. At the age when
