BRAVES HAVE HEAVY BURDEN
Some Startling Facts About Expensive
Boston Park Proposition-WiIl
Cost $35o,ooo.

President James E. Gaffney of the
Boston National club, announced that
the Braves new stadium would be
ready in August. The grandstand will
be a single-decker of concrete and
steel and the total seating capacity
will accommodate $4,000 spectators
The plant will be located at Cottage
Farms, within six minutes ride from
the South station over the Boston and
Albany railroad.
The trolley cars will enter the sta
dunn on spur track. The playing
field will be about twenty feet lower
than the street level and will be larger
than any other ball grounds in the
major leagues. To finish the stadium
Gaffney says he will spend at least
$250,000. He will do the work himself.
Until the plant is ready for cham.
pionship games the Braves will use

Sox.

Sherwood Masee and Larry LaJole.

Are the Athletics and the Boston
Braves to suffer from the jinx that has
pursued two of the greatest ball play
ers in the game for all the long years
of their careers? Will the present
worlds champions and the American
league title holders lose their laurels
this year because they have in their
ranks the two most unfortunate ball
players in the country, Sherwood Ma
gee and Larry Lajoie?
For 10 years Lajoie has mauled the
ball, fielded wonderfully and in all re-
spects played a champions game, yet
he has never played with a pennant
winner. In spite of his wonderful play
he has yet to feel the thrill of stepping
into worlds series box score. The
same is true of Magee, who for 10
years slugged the ball for the Phillies,
earning the right to be classed as the
National leagues greatest batter.
Lajoie's great ambition is to play
with a pennant-winning team. Strange
1y enough the spring that he left the
Athletics to go to Cleveland, in 1902,
the Athletics proceeded to win their
first pennant. Since then they have
prospered exceedingly in this respect,
and only last season won another
American league flag. Lajoie now re-
turns to the Quakers following the
winning Of their sixth American league
championship. Will the run of pen
nant-winning teams of the House of

Cave Gives Up Relics Many Thou

enos Of Lost cavern-Sealed
Up by Nature.

Kansas City. - The archaeological
department of the University of Ne
vada has nearly completed the ex-
ploration of a cave in Nevada, sealed
up by nature 1900 years ago. 1t con-
tains relics Of what 10 believed to be
the ancient race from which the
American Indians sprung, race far
older than the Aztecs. Among the
thing brought to light Is skull de-
clared to be more than 5000 years
old certainly and possibly In existence
several hundred thousand years ago.
II these surmises are correct It Is
older than the Piltdown skull, found
in Kent, England.
Along with the skull were found
many relics of a prehistoric race In
remarkable state of preservation, be-
cause they have been Theoretically
sealed IN natures own preservatives.
The first mention OF this ancient
civilization that is remembered by
white men dates back 20 1874, when
General Fremont led from California
a little band OF whites across a new
trail through the Rockies. He fol-
lowed the Humboldt river until he
came to the shores Of what is now
called Humboldt lake, half mile
east of the main Humboldt range OF
mountains, and mile south OF Love

he entered the land Of the Pluto, the

English Photographer Follows
Shells With His Camera.

Into the Ruins to Take Pic

Fight.

Observation-Disclosures Pilkington is
making an official regimental record Of
the doings of the Scots guards at the
front Armed with a camera he has
permission to go anywhere and photo
graph anything
Lecturing before the Selborne soci-
ETY. Mr.. Pilkington's descriptions of
the terrible fighting round Ypres were
full of the realism possible only from a
man who had lived with the soldiers
as one of them.
OF the 1000 men who left the Tower
with him on September 10 only 100
now remain and of the officers there
is a remnant of two.
Round about Ypres the Seventh d.
vision got into the thick of the German
guns. You continually heard men
who had been through Indian cam
paigns and South Africa say that what
they had been through before was an
absolute picnic compared to what they
had to put up with from the Germans"
The battle of Ypres, which lasted for
weeks and is not over yet, was for Mr..
Pilkington time of cycling about with
his camera, usually under shell fire,
taking extraordinary pictures of
smashed up houses and anything par
ticularly exciting that happened.
Mr.. Pilkington was so near the ac-
tual thing that he would see a shell
fall into a house full of sleeping SOL
diers, and a few minutes afterward
would rush In with his camera and
take photograph of the horrible mess
inside. He said that after a time men
became curiously Indifferent about the
shells, and he showed a photograph of
some transport drivers calmly gazing
round to see exactly where the shells
were going to fall and If it was time
to move on.
Custom becomes, as it were, an
other nature" People seem to have
been living much as usual in the
houses on the Menin road during this
terrible time, and ten minutes after a
shell had wrecked house Mr.. Pilking-
ton photographed people hunting for
souvenirs. One thing that astonished
him was the sight of some children
playing with toys on a doorstep in one
of the hottest placex

great wisdom, could tell the white
