The Voice a Pearl.

Elihu Burritt says of the voice:
swatch it day by day as a pearl of

hearth at home. Train it to sweet
tones now and it will keep in tune

GIANTS FORTIFYING.
Fear of Feds Causes McGraw to Sign
Larry DOYLE for Three Years.

HOUSTON. Tex. March 31.-While
the Federal League is blowing its
trumpets in front of the walls of or
ganized base ball. the particular line of
defense held by the New York club of
the National League is being quietly
fortified by the simple process of eX-
tending the terms of enlistment on GER
tain valuable athletes.
Capt. Lawrence Doyle has signed A
new three-year contract at fancy
figure. and his sleep Is no longer broken
by visions of James Gilmore bearing a
fstful of bank notes in one hand and a
Federal League contract in the other:
OF the regulars who have not capitulat-
ed to long-term contracts. Chief Meyers
and Fred Merkle are reported to he

is considered fixture with the Giants
is safe from Federal Establishments I'M
less the war develops into a campaign
Of contract jumping. Most of the Giants,
however, are satisfied with their sur
roundings. because they are getting big
salaries and another worlds series is
coming.
Doyle re-enlisted last Saturday for
three more wears and in addition 10
his regular wage will receive an extra
handout for acting as captain.

President Gilmore of the Federal
League IS out with a statement that
there is no truth in the report that his
organization is trying to persuade Buck
Weaver of the White SoN to jump that
club. Gilmore says that no one connect
ed with his league has any authority TO
sign major league players without the
olfimial sanction of the president. and
that it is not the intention TO take any
players from the Sox or Cubs at this
time. This announcement is for the pro-
lection of the Federal League, which
would endanEcr itself of being charged
with conspiracy If it insisted in tamper-
ing with players under contract.
That the only successful system of Sc
curing Sood ball players is to develop
them seems to be proven by the fact
that Manager Griffith appears to have
built up an excellent pitching staff with
material which he virtually picked off OF
the lots. \ year ago Shaw. Harper and

Murphy, as shown in the latters letter.

When Murphy signed with the Federal
League he was quoted as saving that he
objected to being railroaded out of the
majors His statements were in contra =

given by Manager Mack
The latter determined that the best way
to settle the matter was to give out the
letters which had been written by him
and Murphy on the subject. These let
ters clearly prove that Murphy was not
railroaded out of the majors and that he
preferred to go to Baltimore to signing.
