Comment and Gossip
on Sports of the Day

tho pornsnt ladder here's hoping this
outSpoAen prophet rs right
So rapid has been the upward rush
Of tho Braves on the fight for the Ma
tioral League pcunant that for the mo-
mcut many rootcrs have lost sight OF
'hc fact that A. least four teams have
q chance for the flag. ST. Louis merits
serious attention as pcnnant con-
tender The team is playing on its
home grounds. where 10 has been con
sistcutly effective all season. More
over. Miller Huggins has a longer
string o. pitchers than any of his
rivals. The Braves and the Giants are
depending almost entirely on three
pitchers each, but higgins has five de-
pcudable men for duty on the mound.
Sallcc. Perdue, Doak. Griucr and Per
r.tt have an done their share Of the
pitching. The Cubs did not appear 10
be ovcrburdeucd with ambition on their
last trip 20 the Polo Grounds, but they
need no very long rally 90 bring them
20 tho front. All IN all, the race is one
o. the best which the National League
mas seen in years.
Il IS high time. however, that the
Giants settled back into something
like thc true form Of National League
champions. The Braves are playing
with confidence, enthusiasm and ambi-
ton, and this means much, even with
a team which, man for man, does not
quite measure UP 90 the Giants I'm all
that goes 70 make the finished whole.
As things are going. IL is quite likely
tlat Stallngs and his men will draw
out s bit and force the pace for a
time. but in the end the class Of the
Giants should tell.
So uncertain as baseball is. the Phil
aGclphia Athletics seem far enough in
front IN the American League 20 in
sure another slice Of the worlds series
plum. The Boston Red SoX were eleven
games behind on Saturday, with Wash
irCton and Detroit almost distant
trailers. Five weeks ago the Giants
looked far more secure, but now they
are struggling desperately, while the
worlds champions have tossed aside
all opposition. Such is the charm Of
baseball.
In watching Mclaughlin play against
Murray az Bay Ridge the other day
was struck by the maturity Of the
champions game. When the conqueror
Of Brookes and Wilding first came East
one never read Of him without finding
the adjective "fery" some place or
other in the article. Only in hair alone
IS the descriptive word suitable now.
Hardly player I'm the world. except it
be Norman +. Brookes. uses more re-
straint in his choice OF strokes. In
the early days Mclaughlin depended
almost entirely on speed. The severity
Of his game was its greatest asset, but
now he has learned that speed is only
one weapon or many which the good
lawn tennis player may employ. He
has learned TO husband his strength
and 10 foresee shots much more read
lily. and probably he covers several
miles less Of territory I'm p match to-
day than he would have three years
ago IN other words, 20 a game Of
matchless natural skill Mclaughlin has
added the technique Of the veteran,
and Al the present writing he may well
Ugh for new worlds 70 conquer, for
there is not player in the land who
measures I'D TO him.

ITALYs FAMOUS IRON CROWN
Symbol of Royalty That Goes Far
Back Into the Records of Euro
pean History.

One of the most famous crowns Is
that which is not bedecked with jew
els, but is made of iron. This historic
iron crown has played romantic role
in the history of Italy. 1t was fash
toned in the year 594 by the command.
it is said, of Theolinda, the widow OF
lombard king, on the occasion of her
marriage to a duke OF Turin.
The iron is overlaid with gilt. The
significance of the crown was sup
posed to lie in the fact that the weight
Of royalty could never be lightened by
It's splendid exterior. The iron OF the
inner portion was additionally held
to be one of the long nails used at the
crucifixion.
For long time the crown was kept
the famous monastery at Mona.
In TIA 1t was brought forth to be
placed upon the head of Charlemagne
as king Of the Lombards," and on
later occasions 1t figured in the tri-
umphs of Frederick w and Charles V.
Finally, in the presence Of all the rep
resentatives of state, the foreign en-
voys and princes and officers, Ma
poleon Bonaparte solemnly united 1t
to the crown of France.
The crown belongs to the state, and
the custodian of it is the legitimate
representative of the basilica of Mon
"a. The title of grand custodian"
however, pertains to the head OF the
Order of Cavaliers.

SPY SWALLOWS A CARTRIDGE
American in Paris Adopts Heroic Way
to Dodge Suspicion of French
Authorities.

New York.-A new story was added
to the tales of war experiences of
Americans in Europe. 1t was told in
a letter received here. A young man,
a citizen of the United States at
tached to the Paris branch of New
York concern, was arrested as spy
and taken to Jail. At the wpment of
his arrest his mind flew to incriminat-
ing evidence in one of his pockets.
1t was a revolver cartridge, and it
was not blank one.
The young man watched his chance.
When the Jail was reached he was left
alone for moment in an anteroom be-
fore being searched. He pulled the
cartridge forth and swallowed it.
Shortly afterward his clothes were
searched and he managed to convince
the authorities that he was not spy.
He was released. But he has not been
able to work since.

Merry has never said one word

"Then reserve your judgment until
he does. If you were to ask him, and
if he played fair, he would tell you
that it was a straight, honest bargain,
a bargain bought and paid and

for something conceived by another

as he had never used to her before.
II want to say one thing before you

ton of the authorship of this play. It
is not to be brought up again at any

II understand" Dorcas answered
quietly. II understand 1t is perfectly
useless to appeal to a conscience
which is dead"
Enoch shrugged his shoulders. IF
that is the way you choose to put it.
