GOLFERS SPEEDY DRIVE
WINGS BIRD.

George Cook Wiehb son of a
st. Joseph (MoA banker, was
playing on the links OF the Coun-
try club in his home city recent
", and on driving from the fifth
tee the ball bit a red headed
woodpecker which was flying In
the opposite direction, killing the
bird instantly.
The golfers continued playing,
and nothing peculiar was OBJ
served until Mr.. Wiehl prepared
to drive to the next green. Then
he noticed that there was some
thing wrong with the bah and
upon examining it found that
the birds beak had become i'm
bedded in the sphere. 1t was
inserted q half inch, with a
quarter of an inch protruding.
Mr.. Wiehl put the ball in his
pocket and substituted a new
one. He will have the relic
framed and hung in the trophy
room at the club.

BETTER ARMS IN OLD DAYS.
outfieIders Used to Nail More Runners
With Some Great PEGS.

Statistics show that the outfielders
back in the eighties and nineties had
the shade on the present day outfielders
in making assists. The best record in
number of assists made in one season
in the majors in recent years, or since
1900, was stacked up by Harry Niles,
then with the St. Louis team in 1906.
Harry nailed thirty-nine men from the
Outfield, getting them at different bases.
Mike Mitchell, while with the Gin
cinnati team, equaled the mark set by
Niles, heading off thirty-nine men by
his power to shoot a ball from the
farthest corner of the outfeld with suf-
ficient accuracy and speed TO get his
man. Ty Cobb, Joe Birmingham. iris
! Speaker, joe Jackson and Milan all
have made especially good records in
/ this direction and lead their respective
! teams in throwing cut runners from
! the remote corners Of the outer garden.
In his day Fielder Jones was a past
master in pegging the ball from the
outfield and nipped many runners.

MAYOR mitchell OF NEW YORK.

Just as soon as Mayor John Purroy
Mitchell, the youthful head of the New
York City government, reached the
military training camp of business and
professional men at Plattsburg, N. Y,
the other day he was ordered to go
to work erecting his tent. He has
camped in the Adirondack mountains,
SO he knew how to do that But being
out of practice he soon got up such
at appetite that he was very glad
| when the job was done.
He waited just long enough to pose
for his photograph at the tent door be
fore he rushed to Captain Halstead
Dorey of the United States army, whc
is commander at the camp.

Then the mayor was given forma
permission to take his motor and
drive over to a summer hotel. Wher
he returned at noon he ate another
meal, and it is reported he is regularly
eating four or FIVE meals day. HI

Just why the umpires allow the play
crs on the benches to indulge in ride,
ulous yelling and noise making is not
clear. There is rule which gives the
umpircs the right TO punish players
who conduct themselves improperly,
and it is high time this rule is enforc-
ed. 1t is annoying to the occupants Of
grand stand seats to listen to a lot Of
boistcrous yells, which have no pur-
pose other than an effort to rattle the
opposing pitcher.

The ten cent bleacher system is to be
adopted by all the clubs, since this
scheme has proved u success in New
ark and Brooklyn. Organized baseball
men contend that it is impossible to
make both ends meet mt such prices,
but the Feds, who are trying to work
up interest and increase the attend
ance, are going to give the scheme a
trial.

Hughey Jennings admits the Boston
Red Sox are the strongest team in the
American league, but he will not con-
code that it will win the pennant.
Jennings figures the Red SoX have
an advantage in pitchers, but that his
team is the stronger with the bat.
GIVE me one OF Carrigan's pitchers
and l will win the flag without much
trouble. My team cannot only hit and
field but it has backbone ana In this
respect has something on most of its
rivals" is the way jennings sizes up
the situation. There is, of course,
little or no chance for me to get an
other pitcher, but that Is all that
stands between the Tigers and the
flag"
1t seems that it would have been a
good proposition to realize this fact
last season and put in the winter try
ing to get n pitcher. Then the Detroit
problem might now be solved.

There never has been a more inter
esting pcnnant race than the one now
flourlshing in the National league. and
the outcome of this struggle is no near
er solution now than it was over a
month ago.
OF course week is apt to make u
wonderful change in the standing in
the old league, for game or two
either way make q big difference. But
there is no way to figure which team
ought TO win. There is a difference Of
opinion about the relative strength of
the various contendcrs. Some believe
the Phillies are better fortified than
any Of the others, but this will have
to be proved.

Barring a few young pitchers who
have come through this year, there are
few new faces in the lineups of the
major league teams in any other posi-
tons. The players who were brought
up from the minors last year have not
displaced any Of the regulars, and this
is not to be expected of most of them,
for the reason that only a small per-
centage of minor leaguers make good
the first time in fast company.
The best find Of the year appears to
have been Bancroft, the Phillies' short
stop, who has hit and fielded like q
fieud and has done much to keep his
team in the race. But there are few

of the National league. President TIE
