NEW YORK. April 17.-Admiral
Gilmore has demanded that Earl Ham
ilton and the st. Louis Browns salute
the flag. While the pitcher was IN
the neutral zone OF Kansas, Hamilton
permitted himself to be arrested by
the Browns after he had decided to
cast his lot with the Federais and for
this affront Gilmore now demands
that Hamilton fire salute of $4,000
into thu Federal treasury.
Court action brought by the FEEDER
ais in Hamilton's case is the latest
charge into the courts in the baseball
war. The sum Of $50 600 is the fav-
orite amount being sought and the
number of suits pending Is split about
fifty fifty as between the Feds ana
organized baseball. Hamilton declares
he is sorry he deserted the paths or
glory with the Browns but Gilmore is
unable. to figure how that does the
Feds any good and therefore demands
the salute.
So far neither side involved in this
crisis have sugg ssted salute me ana
I'll salute YOU
1t is now reported that the Inter
national league may mix in the game
before long. The Newark, Jersey City
and Roch ester clubs, it is said, will
each demand $4,000 salute from the
Federals because of raids on their
ranks. The battle 1t is understood
will center around Ciciwana and 9TH
ers among the Fsderals.
Out OF three st. Louis teams In ac-
ton yesterday. the Browns won the
only game. Minor Browns Federals
were walloped by Indianapolis and
the Pirates downed the Cards. Hans
Wagner numbered for the first time
this year with two hits.
The National league game attracted
about 600 fans against somewhere be
tw zen 10000 and 10000 who went to
the Federal park.
Ty Cobb nailed single and triple
out against the Browns, but the Tig-
ers lost
The White Sox made It three
straight against the Clev Gland Maps
and have yet to lose a game. Benz
and Blanding engaged in a pitching
duel, each side yielding only four
hits. The Sox nosed out their only
run in the seventh with single, q
sacrifice fly and a double, Collins con
tributing the latter.

TENREC OF MADAGASCAR

One of the strongest animals ever
seen in this country was recently
brought from Madagascar. 1t is the
tenrec, an insect-eater, and is sup
posed to represent very ancient
type of animal, now almost extinct,
land occurs nowhere else except on
that great island. AS far back as the
early middle ages, Arab traders made
their way in sailing vessels south
ward along the African coast of NADIA
gascar where they saw the giant bird
which came to be known, through the
stories they told about it, and later
celebrated in the Arabian Nights" as
the roc. Scientists today call it the
aepyornis, and are able to describe it
pretty accurately from it's bones. But
only within recent years has it been
understood that Madagascar, original
ly a part of the mainland of Africa,
must have been separated therefrom
very long time ago-a consequence
being that it developed fauna pecu-
liarly its own Among it's oddities
were the roc and the tenrec, one long
since past and the other passing.

Nanoleon,s VICTORY at Rrierne

One hundred years ago Napoleon
met the army of the allies at Brienne,
a village in northeastern France, and
was victorious after keenly contest
ed battle. The emperor had left Paris
only two days before, prepared to
make a last desperate effort to halt
the advance of the enemy on the
French capital and thereby save his
tottering throne. The allied Russian
and Prussian armies were in command
of Marshal Butcher. Napoleon's forces
were in a deplorable condition. At
Brienne, it is true, his old soldiers
displayed prodigies of courage in his
name and under his orders, but the
raw conscripts were discontinued and
many of them deserted their colors.
Napoleon owed his victory chiefly to
the fact that he came up to Butcher
when the latter was separated from
a part of his forces. Prince Schwart-
zenberg, in command of the Austrian
forces, Immediately set out for the
purpose of supporting the Prussians.
and the combined armies Of the Al
lies recommended their advance on
Paris.

THINKS He Is A SQUIRREL
Man Climbs to Housetops, Shlns Down
Water Pipes and Chambers
Up Trees.

Sacramento, Cal.-Imagining that he
was a squirrel, James Ryan, a hobo,
climbed on top of houses, Skinned"
up trees and slid down water pipes OF
various residences en- the NJ street
road in the early morning and had
the neighbors in an uproar. Ryan was
first discovered on the roof of the
home of Peter zinng, in Schley ave-
nue., near Wolf, and was driven from
his perch by a junior member of the
family armed with shotgun.
He slid down a water pipe and
raced across country for two blocks.
where he climbed to the roof of a
bungalow A phone call was sent to
the police from the Zinng residence
and patrolmen responded. When the
officers located their quarry on the
roof of the bungalow he was doing
tango, and when told to descend,
promptly started disrobing.
Patrolman Brown climbed to the
roof of the house and ordered Ryan
to don his clothing, which the latter
did with much reluctance. When
searched at the city Jail the pockets
of the human squirrel" as he was
termed by Patrolman Vogel, contained
several oranges and a quantity of
nuts.
Ryan informed the officers that he
was a fruitpicker and had gathered
the oranges from trees along the M
street road.

SUPERSTITl0NS OF SAILORS

All sailors are superstitious. You
would find it difficult to convince them
that ill-luck does not cling to vessel
whose name has been changed or that
a craft whose name ends in "a" does
not rest under an evil spell. This is
the case regarding the Victoria, sunk
in the Mediterranean; the Stella, lost
off the Channel islands; the Arequipa,
ashore on the west coast of America
the Cobra a destroyer, which broke
her back on her maiden voyage in
the North sea; and the Sardinia.
burned in harbor at Malta.
Then sometimes it is member of
the crew to whom a particularly evil
influence is attached; sometimes it is
a passenger. But if you want to see
a sailorman SILVER with superstition
let there be some hitch in the solemn
ceremony of launching. 1t nearly
breaks the sailor boys heart.

Women Who Make Livelihood

st. Louis.-Mrs. Winnifred Harper
Cooley, president of the Associated
Clubs of Domestic Science of Ameri-
ca, says that graft is the great social
sin. She writes of women of position
who resell charity tickets and pocket
the differences, who boost dressmakers
for commission, who boom real es-
tate at afternoon teas, who act as run

who use other peoples credit without

she says: "a real eastate man

He gladly offered her regular COM

suggested that instead he give her a

realize that such transfer was far
more compromising. In some cases

PAMPERED PET DOGS

GOld-mOunted tortoise-shell comb,
jeweled lookingglass, toothbrush, three
satin coats, three silk coats, two gold
embroidered coats for evening wear,
set of silver feeding spoons, light
dust coat for motoring, a gold mount
ed scent spray, two dozen neck rib
bons-these are a few of the items in
the outfits of pet dogs of wealthy So
ciety women, the animals being pro
vided with every luxury.
In justice to lady fanciers, however
and women are among the most sue
cessful of dog keepers and breeders,
as will be- evident from study of the
prize awards in recent exhibitions-it
should be pointed out that they spend
large sums on the care of their pets
for the simple reason that the latter
are in many cases worth hundreds of
dollars.
There are many women, however,
who keep pet dogs, not for exhibition
purposes, but simply in order to lavish
on them the greater part Of their
thought and wealth, and it is such
women who arouse Indignation on ac-
count of their canine extravaganza.
There has just been opened in New
York, for instance, large country
house which has been turned into a
toy dogs paradise, where society
women can send their pets for holt
day or for the benefit of their health.
There is special staff of men and
women to attend to the daily toilet
of the dogs, which is no small task,
for the tiny mouths must be washed
out, meals given, coats combed ana
brushed and finally polished with a
square of white plush dipped in per-
fume. The paws receive as much at
tention as the fingernails of a lady of
fashion, while the postman brings let
tiers and gifts for the pets every day.
One little dog may get only pic
ture postcard, while another, perhaps,
will find a box of sweets when it has
broken into the package addressed to
1t. One toy Pom" always gets box
of her mistress favorite flowers. In
deed, all kinds of foolishness are in
dog and the private qualification of it's
| mistress.
Paw-warmers. foot-muffs, goggles
| for motoring, gold anklets, and private
| breakfast and tea sets are among
other things in the outfit of the fash
ionable pet, who also has It's cat
home days and parties and a special
book in which the names of visiting
dogs are duly entered.
A recent case in the English law
courts revealed the fact that some
dogs live in coroneted kennels. while
miniature baths-beautiful little con.
trivances of white porcelain, with hot
and cold taps and waste pipe-are the
latest thing in fashionable dogland.
