received $500 advance money, but be-
fore the season opened jumped his con-
tract, though it had no ten-day clause,
and returned to the Cleveland club.
The hearing Is to come before the same
Judge who decided against the Kansas
City club in the johnson case, the Gin
cinpau Nationals in that suit occupy ing
the same place that the Kansas City
club does here, according to Federal
League counsel. The Federals claim
credit for notifying Blanding. say ying that
the same courtesy was not shown john
son.
It was Blandings return to the Cleve-
land club that caused President Gilmore
to permit the Kansas City club to "go
after any players under contract The
reserve rule, which held Blanding to
Cleveland. will be a factor in the new
suit which did not come up in the John
son case.

BLAME IS ON. AUTOS
Held Responsible for Maps
Poor Showing This Season.
PLAYERS SLUMP GENERAL
Indifferent Work Began When
Craze" for Motoring
Hit Players.

NSLEt Ella n L. June J.-W mats the mat
er with the Maps?
The question is on the lips of every
Clevelander who has not ceased to take
an interest in the American League club
There is one answer-too much auto
MODELLING.
Did you ever walk through the tunnel
underneath the main stand at Somers
Park?
If you did you probably noticed nearly
a dozen motor cars parked near the en-
trance for wagons and automobiles.
These cars belong to Nap players.
They drive to the park in them. drive
home in them and spend much of their
spare time touring the city streets and
country roads in them
When the automobile fever infected the
Maps the club began to lose its effective
ness. This was late last season. cou-
pie of the players had cars at the time.
The craze spread and the team began to
go back.
"Birmy," Larry. Doc Johnston. Joe
Carisch and Fred Blanding are the Nap
motor enthusiasts. Others spend much of
their time riding in the cars of their
fellow Maps.
Team Goes Back.
The signs of deterioration which fol.
lowed the introduction of the motor car
into the Nap camp last season opened the
eyes of knowing Nap fans. To them the
complete collapse Of the team which last
season was pennant contender was not
unexpected.
Motoring is hard on the eyes. 1t is a
strain on the nerves. Ball players need
clear eyes and steady nerves. These arc
their most valuable assets.
The Maps seem to have neither eyes nor
nerves. They can't bat they can't run
bases and they can't field.
They played like children against the
st. Louis Browns Monday. They didn't
play base ball No, they didn't even put
passed for that ancient and honorable
game of FOUNDERS which little boys play
on vacant lots. -
Jackson's Bad Day.
Joe. Jackson, whose batting eye has
grown dim with the advance Of the sea-
son for automobiling, was a minus guam
tity at bat with men on bases. He judged
fly balls poorly or not at all, and when
he managed to get his hands on them
dropped them.
The whole team ice-wagoned its way
from base to base when somebody helped
along with a hit. but when 1t came to do
ing lightning stunts on the bases, like
those performed by the Browns. there
was nobody at home.
The Maps have had this roast coming
for a long time. Everybody has been pa
tient with the team, needing the plea Of
hard luck that for time sounded so
plausible
But that time is post. Ray Chapman
is the only Nap cripple, and he is doing
all he can from the coacher's box to put
ginger and life into the other players.
Fans Stay Away.
The base ball public is not going to
spend it's money to see a team like the
laps play. This was shown by the hand
ful of fans that greeted the team Mon
day.
Those who entered the park were sorry
they had ventured out when they saw
the small crowd.
The Maps are staging their athletic
stunts in the wrong arena. They should
drive their cars to the motor speedway
at Indianapolis. race them around the
big track to their hearts content and
then forget them and play little real
base ball.

Bald Eagle Goes Fishing.

One Sunday afternoon fine speci-
men Of the bald eagle visited the lake
ut the water plant and after circling
around for some time he made a
swoop and came up with bass in his
talons. D. J. w. Barlow was near the
lake and was an interested spectator
of the incident. After the eagle had
made his catch he circled about for
some time and the doctor noticed that
the eagle was having some trouble
with his prey.
Finally the fish wriggled from the
talons Of the eagles and fell G short
distance from the spot where the
doctor was standing. 1t was a fine
specimen OF black bass and as it was
90 injured that it could not live the
doctor took 1t home, where he placed
It on the scales, which registered a

without rest intervals. In this con-

double the period in the Scriptural in

every three days marching the
marchers should have full days

This new sense of conquest is an
added power which increases self-con.
fidence and solf-respect.
Henry Ward Beecher used to tell the
following story of how he was taught,
when a boy, to depend on himself:

went uncertain. full of whimpering.

$ Yildiz Kiosk. 1t is reported. is to be

like Horace. appears to have hated
