Sweet In his last Central association
game OF the season. He leaves to-
night for Utica in the New York State
league and should have very little
trouble making good there. He is a
great pitcher and the lost game yes
terday was not due SO much to his
pitching as to his comrades errors.
For example the two runs that won
the contest for the locals in the eighth
were made on one lonesome hit. The
two in the third came over in the
same manner. The difference being
that in the third John Singleton rap
ped one over the left field fence. The
two men, Whitaker and Singleton
had been kidding" each other during
the game and when John came to bat
he told Bill to groove one and he
would be knocked OF the mound. Bill
declared that he didn't think 1t could
be done and so saying he laid one in
the rut. John did not knock Bill from
the nound but did put the ball over
the fence for a home run, a place
much more pleasing for the local fans.

players will come and go-thousands
of them-and the world will forget
most OF them as quickly as their
names cease to appear in the box
scores, but the names of two players
who are about to pass out Of the sport
as active participants will live as long
as the national pastime itself.
The names OF Napoleon Lajoie, fam
Gus Cleveland second baseman, and
Hans Wagner, equally famous Pitts
burgh shortstop. have been written In
letters Of fire on the walls Of base
balls hall of fame. After nearly twen-
ty years these Lancelots Of the dia-
mond are slowing up and soon must
give way to younger men.
Started on Back Lots.
Napoleon Lajoie first gained fame
on the lots OF Woonsocket, r. I. His
fielding and hitting ability excited
the admiration of scout of the Fall
River, Mass, team who happened
along one day. Lajote signed Fall
River contract and proceeded immedi-
ately to make good. Billy Nash, Phil
adelphia National league manager
saw the young Frenchman perform
one August day and purchased his
release. He was assigned to first
base and played the position amaz-
ingly well. His batting for the first
year in fast company was 1928.
Previously Laoie had been hack
driver. In one year the Rhode Island
hack-driver rose from obscurity to
fame. Lajoie was shifted from first
base to second. where his fielding
was SO spectacular that he soon be-
came known as the king OF second
basemen. His graceful and apparent,
~ careless manner of fielding the
ball. caused him to be acknowledged
the most finished fielder the game
had ever known.

, led the American league with .3s1

Lajoie's coming to Cleveland with
Bill Bernhard and Elmer Flick who
had also jumped the National league
converted Cleveland from dead base
ball town into a live one. The Cieve-
land club was named the maps" after
Lajoie and he became the idol OF
Cleveland fandom. Lajoie has batted
over 800 in all but three Of his nine

Lajoie's Slump Mystery.
This great players sudden slump is
baseball mystery. Few players
ever lose their batting eyes as sud-
denly as has Lajoie. He can offer no
explanation. ITS just one Of these
things that happens" he says. La
toie's fielding Is still brilliant but he
cannot cover as much territory as q
few years ago. He has also slowed
up on the. bases.
However, Lajoie should worry.
When he passes out Of baseball he
will not be required to resume his
youthful occupation of hack driving.
He Is rich. He IL worth no less than
5000, 900. He has valuable farm and
fine home in Cleveland suburb.
Lajoie will be thirty-nine in Septem-
Der. ~ +s
Hans Wagner of the Pirates, has
not slumped as badly in his hitting
this year as Lajoie, but he has slowed
up noticeably in all departments Of
the game.
Wagner Started At Louisville.
This is Wagner's eighteenth year as
q major league player. He made his
debut with the Louisville club Of the
old National league a year after La
joie Joined the PhiIlies.
Wagner led the National league
eight seasons. He averaged $40 In
Guiding this season. Lajoe has aver
aged about .343 in his nineteen years
OF major league playing.
Both Pittsburgh and Cleveland are
greatly affected by the slumps OF
these star players. 1t is significant
that the Pirates and Maps both drop
ped to last place the first year that
the great stars showed signs Of fading.

MEXICAN TROOPS OUTSIDE VERA
CRUZ AGAIN BREAK TRUCE
BY SHOOTING AT Filler.
ONLY An ATTACK ON CITY
WOULD START A BATTLE
General Funston Views the Matter As
Having Been the Act Of Few
irresponsible Mexican
Troopers.

Vera Cruz, May 26.-The official re-
port Of the shooting from the Mexican
outposts at hydro-aeroplane in
which Lieut.. Patrick Bellinger of the
naval aviation corps was making his
daily practice flight yesterday indi-
Gates a score of shorts were fred. The
marine outposts, which reported the
affair, judged only by the reports of
the rifles, and the statements as to
the number of these are conflicting.
Brigadier-G General Funston views the
matter as having been the act of an
irresponsible Mexican trooper or two,
who whiled away their time with tar
get practice at the flying boat.
The aviators heard no shots be-
cause of the noise made by the motor,
nor did they notice the whistle OF
bullets. They were much surprised
when they received the report of the
shooting after they landed.
From what l have heard of Next
can shooting, Judge there is little
possibility of anyone in an aeroplane
being hit" Brigadier-G Funston
said this morning. 'If we were look
ing for an excuse to make reprisal
on the Mexican outposts we could find
one twice or thrice weekly. Nothing
but an assault. which was clearly a
serious attempt at driving in our out
posts, and which was started by order
of some high official, would lead us
to return the fire. 1t Is always pos
sible that some of these irregular state
rural guards holding the line to the
north of US may get full of liquor
and fire at our outposts. Under our
orders we could not cosider that a
justification for replying to the fire"
General Funston has no intention Of
making another protest to the Mexi-
can commander about the firing at the
hydro-aeroplane. He said he assumed
that II Washington thought it advis-
able to do so 1t would make a protest
to Mexico City direct, as was done in
the case of Private Parks. No word
about the Parks case has been re-
ceived by General Funston from the
department at Washington in 10 days.

William Phelps Emo, who devised
the system of traffic regulation now

been called the father of street traf-
fic regulation" had hard time at first
impressing his ideas on public officials.
Foreign cities appreciated them more
than American cities. Paris, threat

unless the system Emo were put in eff
feet, adopted it. Then Buenos Aires
sent for Mr.. Emo, asked him to work

every suggestion he made.
A year or two later Mr.. Emo was
introduced, as a traffic regulation au-
thority, to much-traveled resident of
Washington.
The globe-trotter shook hands with
him, and then said in rather patron
izing manner:

HOME RULE At LAST FOR OLD IRELAND

London, May 26.-By a vote of 351
TO 274, majority of n, the house
of commons this morning passed the
home rule bill. The end OF the hard
fought struggle came quite suddenly,
the Unionists refusing to debate the
bill without further information as to
the governments intentions in regard
70 the proposed amending measure.
Premier Asquith lifted corner of
the veil, but though Andrew Banor
Law, leader of the opposition, ad-
mitted the premier's words concilia-
tory, he FASTENED to add that Mr.. AS
quith had not told them anything. To
discuss the third reading under the
circumstances, he said, would be fu-
tile and ridiculous. He added:
Let the curtain ring down on this
contemplate farce. 1t is only the
end OF an act and not of the play.
The government can carry the bill
through parliament, but the conclud-
ing act OF the drama will be in the
country where an appeal to the people
will not end in farce"
Mr. Law then remarked that when
the government was unable to obtain

SOME SIDE LIGHTS
ON THE HOME LIFE
BY JULIE GORDON.

A little home immaculate,
kettle singing cheerily,
A bright fire cleaning In the CRATE,
The world a singing merrlly-
Then a footstep auckland harkl
'Tis someone kissing in the dark.
Did it ever occur to you that all
roads lead to the homer Every ave-
nue. of enterprise had its conception
in the home and for the home. No
man is considered a complete success
who does not marry and make home
This being the case one would natural
ly suppose that great care and fore
sight would be utilized in the making
of ones home.
But many men in choosing a wife
confine their efforts to selecting q
girl who has some knowledge Of home
keeping and cooking, but this is not
all, by any means-a sunny disposi-
ton and a willingness to practise econ
omy-a willingness to do all things
to advance the interests of her hus-
band and her home is above all things
necessary.
Many a bright happy girl is, by
wrong mating, reduced to weak sub
mission or dull routine of life that
has taken all her beauty and spirit
from her, and left her listless, faded
old woman at thirty-five or Sorty years.
While on the other hand, men are oft
en- bowed and bent with toll that new
er ceases only when night shuts them
in between the walls of an ill-kept
house where the listless woman alb
sentmindedly prepares the untidy
suppers.
In such home love never sheds the
Joy of his presence-for where love
is all is happiness. no matter how
hard the work, no matter how humble
the home. Where love is Joy, laugh
ter and thrift are.
Love seldom cares to spread his
snowy wings in an unclean home.

ALL HAD TO BE IDENTIFIED
Conscientious Philippine Judge Would
Have No Doubt as to owner
ship of Clothes.

An officer of the war department,
who had seen service in the Philip
pines, tell a curious story as to the
native ideas of justice in those is
lands.
An American had come home one
day Just in time to witness a thief in
the act of climbing out Of window
with the better part of the Americans
wardrobe. The latter gave chase so
earnestly that the thief was finally
obliged to drop the clothing so that
he might run the faster He soon dis.
appeared from sight. The American
gathered up his belongings. Just then
along came a native policeman who
proceeded to place the American un-
der arrest, since he acted in most
suspicious manner.
To the local magistrate before
whom he was hailed the American told
his story very plainly and emphatic
ally. When he had concluded the Fill
ipino judge said: you are dismissed,
but you may leave the clothes here"
"Why?" demanded the American.
For this reason" answered the
magistrate, with the air of a sage,
that 1t is uncertain that you speak
the truth. When the thief returns to
identify these clothes as the ones he
stole, you may have them. The
Green Bag.
