THINKS WELL OF CROWELL.
Brown University Crack, According to
Connie, Should Develop Into a Crack
erjack-He Also Thinks Well of Ma
Ione-Likes Chicago's Chances.

Connie Mack is not picking this years
pennant winner. He considers that
much too hazardous an undertaking
because of the fact that he looks for
a tight race in the American league.
I'D naturally say that the Chicago
White SoN have a cracking chance"
said he the other day. That's be-
u they have what looks to be a
very comfortable lead at present and
are playing great ball. But you can't
figure Boston or Detroit out of it, and
l will go further and say hat the
Washington team may cut much more
of 4 figure than was expected now that
it seems to have struck its stride. l
look for it to be a great race. My team,
of course, does not figure, and yet l
think it will be troublesome to those
who have pennant ambitions. In one
respect l am sure we will break all
records. and that is in the number of
bases on balls my pitchers can give.
There never was anything like it, and
l am not familiar with just what the
records are in this respect"
what efforts will you make to
strengthen your team" was asked.

of ball players. Any kid who looks

YES, I'll have a Whole army of Young

hope to find enough good material
among them to bolster up my team.
Malone, whom | obtained from Mount
st. Joseph's college, is going to make
Il great ball player in time. have
several other good youngsters, among
them Haas, a left handed college chap,
who gives every indication of knowing
how to pitch"
In speaking of Davies, the former
Amherst player, who has proved him
self Il very good hitter and fast run
ner since Joining the Mackmen, Mack
said: Il don't know yet just where
Davies belongs. He pitched a splen-
did game Of ball for us in Detroit, but
later 1 had to take him out in the first
inning at Cleveland. SO I don't know
how good a pitcher he is. But have
put it up to him to decide where he
thinks he should be played and wher-
ever that may be 1 will give him a
trial"

MINERS HOLD MEMORY OF
JOSEPH A. HOLMES SACRED.
Originator of Safety First Idea Died a
Martyr to His Work.

Although Joseph Austin Holmes,
originator of the Safety First" slogan,
died the other day at his Denver home,
his name will always be a sacred men,
Dry to the men who daily risk their.
lives in the mines Of the country. Ii
greatest men.
In 1904 Dr.. Holmes was appointed
by President Roosevelt as chief of the
United States geological survey labora-
tories, which have headquarters in st.
Louis and Pittsburgh and are used for
the testing Of fuels and structural ma
terials. His services in this position
were so noteworthy that he was ap-
pointed chief Of the chronological
branch of the geological survey, which

President Taft in 1910 appointed Or.
Holmes head of the newly created bu-
reau of mines. This appointment came
as q surprise, IS it was known that he
was ono Of the interior department
men regarded by Secretary r. A. Bal
linger as inimical to him.
Under Dr. Holmes management great
progress was made in perfecting meth
DDS OF saving lives in mine accidents
and for lesscning the dangers to which
underground workers are exposed. He
organized the first national mine safe
ty demonstration. Which was held in
Pittsburgh in 1911, which was largely
attended and resulted in mine owners,
superintendent and miners learning
many ways of preventing danger and
loss of life.
One of DR.. Holmes most important
discoveries was that the dust from BIZ
luminous coal was more dangerous to
miners than firedamp. This was con-
trary to the old theory, which taught
that coal dust could not explode with
out gas and which had cost many thou
sands of lives.
1t is thought that DR.. Holmes fire.
quent visits to mines in which there
were disasters and his continual in
sistence on going only where his train
cd rescue crews should go. sharing the
dangers that should have gone only to
more robust men, seriously affected his
health. His trip to Alaska two years
ago to learn concerning the great coal
fields there met with many hardships
and severe exposure, and it is believed
that this FASTENED the end.

The Dream Of a Dream

Life, with it's glory, shadow and CLEAN.
1t is only a dream of a far, sweet dream;
Hills of triumph, valleys of sighs,
Laugh O. the lips or the rain O the eyes;
Hopes and fears, kisses and tears,
Only the lights and the shadows Of years,
Wonderful years, sweeter far than they
seem
For the dream Of a dream.
From the heights Of the lights in life's
loneliest nights;
From depths O the dark where the soul
fares and fights;
From fathomless seas where the lifeship
is tossed
And the stars and sweet sounds of the
home bells are lost:
Sure through the sorrow and bright
through the strife
Shines the dream. leading life to the lilies
of life. j..
And no tears of the years dim the beautys
supreme
OF the dream of a dream.
And if only tits dreaming to think we
shall meet
Once more with the love that made life
heaven sweet.
When the red thorns were wounding and
keen blew the blast,
Let us live in that dreamlight and dream
to the last!
Dream that life shall meet life where no
storm ever mars
The music Of morning, the voice Of the
stars,
And read, where the lights Of eternity
stream,
Loves dream of a dream.
