best umpires in baseball have signed to

differences with the presidents Ct the
respective leagues in which they
workd.
Hurst refused to apologize to Ban
Johnson and was disciplined Jimmy

ests the fan is to be welcomed at all
times.
IRON the players standpoint it is
also grand thing for anyone
with an ounce of pride or ambition
will exert himself to the limit, know
Ing that every play is likely TO cut
some figure in the award of the tro-
ply at the end of the season, and it is
u certainty that it is worth working
for by everybody. The beauty OF it
is. that it keeps them all working
right up to the end. as you must not
only excel in one department, but in
all, to win. | believe you will see
lot of hustling ball players in the
Southern this coming season and may
the best man win.

is a breaking down Of the brain cells,
marked by increasing loss Of control
over the muscles and deterioration Of

TWO ICE MAIDENS
DANCE WITH GALE
Wind Is Partner of Skaters at
Van COrtlandt Lake While
City Shivers.

The traffic policemen swore. Chauf-
feurs in long fur coats sought door
ways. Strong men of every calling
whom duty summoned outdoors bent
themselves double in an effort 10 leave
no point Of attack for the wind.
In the Bronx Geological Park a polar
bear howed dismally and fled 10 his
cage to escape the icy blast. But on
Van CortlaDdt Lake, where the gale
came hallooing from the hills with
Greetings from the Arctic" as the bur
den of it's message, two girls whirle6
about the ice in sweeping dance glides
They laughted at the weather and all
it's works. AS the Roman poet forgot
to say, Tango omnia vincit," or as a
balladist of our own day has remarked,
"You can't get away from it,"
"Cold?" said the elder Of the two
Misses Burte. the merry dancing pair
"No, it's just zippy."
The tango having been conquered as
seven hundred other skaters looked on
IN admiration, the girls swung into the
maxixe.
This isn't a bit hard 10 dance" ex-
planned the younger sister. but | dare
you TO pronounce it,
Nobody had a chance 10 accept the
offer. for lust at that minute the wind
charged down and swept the dancers
to the other end Of the lake.
Dancing or skating either was done
under difficulties. Only by digging into
the gale close hauled and tacking fire.
quently could the Skater hope TO get
back 10 the starting point.
In one respect the high gods of the
Olympian weather service had been
kind. They sent no wind 10 ruffie up
the lake until il had frozen. Though
the gale tried it's best. il could not raise
a single wrinkle in the smooth floor OF
the ley ballroom.
The lake differed a Bit from the
dance rooms within the steam heat
zone. Not once during the afternoon
did any one say: Lets sit out this
one"

hoirs of Marcel Prieu. who have en-
tered a claim against the government.
on condition that so per cent OF that
amount be turned over TO the Radical

NJ. Caillaux has issued three sweep

against him. The editor of Figaro,
nevertheless, persists in his assertions
NJ. Schneider tonight denied that ne

on this subject, or had commissioned

Marcel Prieu was a French mer-
chant Of Brazil Thirteen OF his ships
were seized by the Brazilian govern
ment in 1880 on the charge that the
customs regulations had been evaded.
Eventually Brazil paid TO the French
government an indemnity Of $1,000
OO0. Prieu claimed this money, on the
ground that his ships had been unjust
~ seized. His claim was rejected, and
has been repeatedly rejected by every
Minister of Finance. Since Prieu died
in poverty. in 1899. his heirs have
formed a syndicate TO prosecute the
claim.
NJ Calmette also charges that NJ.
Caillaux has tapped" the Compton
National d'Escompte and other banks
70 the amount of $4,000, to be used
as a personal political campaign fund.
Alexis Rostand, president OF this
bank: Emile Ullman, managing di-
rector. and Emile Laffon. director, all
deny this. NJ. Calmette persists in the
truth of his charges. although he ad-
mits that he IS unable legally to prove
them.
NJ Schneider said tonight that there
is no syndicate composed of the heirs
of Prieu. He added that he and some
friends purchased the Prieu claim
some time ago, and had already spent
$4,000 in obtaining evidence TO sup
port the claim. He further alleged that
