H1.I.N E.i.AND May 222.-Just what ef-
fcct the four-daN Idleness is going to
have on the Nationals playing remains
To he svcn. The team has not heen in a
haH game since Tuesday, and has had
hat one work k-out since then. the one OF
Thursday afternoon on the local field
II vaS supposed that by daily pla ying;
the triffmen would i'm due time regain
their best form, ana yet make q re-
spectahle showing in the ace. hut it is
question: BILE neither this enforced
idleness OF THE past four days will
prove beneficial or detrimental.
There have been instances in la Sc
hall where y team which was in q
slump has been benefited by a rest.
Sometimes the batting eye is regained
In this way. and. If such should prove
the ease with the Griffmcn the rain
VII have worked a blessing.
II cleared after the game had been
called Oft yesterday afternoon, and there
are bright prospects for 9: game today.
though indications have bceu most mis-
leading in this section OF late, and
nothing is assured
The oustius 81 Joe Birmingham of
the Cleveland team did not come in the
mature of surprise TO those who are
familiar with conditions here. The for
mer center fielder las become a
changed man ever SIrce he donneG
the managerial tosS. From a genial.
conservative player. he suddenly deVel-
oped INTO :;omcv hat of an arrogant
mana ger. and the result was that ii did
not take him long TO get himself in
bad. Then. too. he adopted a rough
policysin the handling Of his players,
ha wing heard that John McCiraWs sue
cess is supposed TO ne due to his abll-
ity to apply improper names to his
charges. Birmingham is said to have
adopted this system. with the result
that his players resented the language
used and refused to put forth their best
efforts 10 help their leader
The fact OF the matter is that BIZ
mingham was misinformed to Nc
Graw's system. for there is nothing
about the New York manager that is
objectiona BILE, so far as his treatment
of his players is concerned
Leo F'ohl. who is to temporarily sue
ceed Birmingham. has been in base ball
for Twenty-Five years. He has man
aged several minor league teams. and
for the past several years has been a
coach and scout for the local club.
Fohl may prove so competent that
Somers will wait some time before Sc
lecting any one to fill Birmingham $
shoes regularly. If it is not Fohl him
self.
The change in management has
brought about all sorts of rumors. one
was to the effect that Griffith had made
an arrangement with Sorners wherepy
he would give over George McSrlue,
who would become manager of the IN
dams, in exchange for Ray Chapman,
who would be placed at McBride's po-
sition at short field. This is, of course,
nothing but rumor, and when somers
and Griffith were asked about it they
both laughed.
Another report is that Jim McAleer
will be placed in charge OF the team
Jim is here on shopping trip with
Mrs McAleer, and when he was asked
about il he made this characteristic
retort: Rather than get back in base
ball / would take term in the penl-
tentiary j am through with base ball
for all time to come. and | am con-
WINGED that / am through with every
angle of it

Schools Of Sharks Were Attracted.

sharks, and we're finally '1rced to vio-
late the tradition of their calling
eve to lose a captured whale.
According to the story of the men,
a whale was sighted off the Virginia
coast early one morning. Two boats
were lowered for the chase, n in
charge Of Mate Joseph Brown, and
the other commanded by the second
mate. Each crew put a harpoon into
the quarry, but while they were max
ing their capture they lost sight of
their ship in the fog.
The whale was dashed between the
two boats and the men laid a course
toward the coast. Great schools of
sharks we're attracted by the carcass,
and for two days the men fought
these scavengers with lances and oars.
Finally they became exhausted, and
the whale was cut loose and given
over to the sharks.
The men were without food and
water until they were picked up by
the Norwegian steamer Skard, bound
from Newport News for Christiania,
Later they were transferred to the
steamer Piedmont, which ran into
Vineyard sound, where the whalemen
again took to their own boats and
sailed across Buzzards bay to this
port.

one, walked into the police station
here and asked whether he was want
ed at Michigan City for violating his
parole. Chief of Police Adams could
find nothing in the records from Mich
igan City, but a telegram from War
den Fogarty stated that Bays was
wanted and to hold him.
Bays was sentenced from one to
eight years from Dubois county in
1910 for the theft of a half gallon Of
whisky. He has served three years,
but his term was heightened when he
failed to report while on parole. He
said he became intoxicated several
months ago, failed to report, and his
conscience has been hurting him ever
since. He was returned to Michigan
City, but local people have become in
terested and may appeal to the gov
ernor for a pardon.

DOVES ON BOSTON COMMON

What squirrels are in Central park,
New York, doves r OF the Common.
Boston.
In Central park squirrels scamper
over the walks and the lawns, climb
trees and approach people sitting on
the benches to be fed. They hop up
on the benches and on to friendly
peoples shoulders and they eat out
of peoples hands. On Boston common
the doves are just as sociable.
They appear to depend upon the
people in the park for their subsist-
ence and they are very tame. They
walk along the paths quite undis
turbed and approach people without
the slightest fear. Both children and
adults feed them.
Facing the east side of the commo
is fremont street, a busy shopping
thoroughfare. Along the north end Of
the common runs Park street, from
fremont to Beacon, at the statehouse
On the fremont street side of the com
mon within its borders and not fal
from Park street are entrances to two

corner of the common at fremont anC

city's stirring activity; but into thii
plaza the doves come just the sam
and with all their accustomed seren

placidly walking toward him or arount
him, and some gathered immediatel,
in front of him, under his hands, Will
occasionally one would fly up to aligh

Frequently a dove appeared perchet

shoulder; often one alighted upon tn
fingers of the hand in which he he'll

dove that had perched on his shoulde
stepped from there with calm delil
Grafton, step by step, down his uppe
arm and then out along his forearr
to eat out of his hand.
So, in one way and another but eve
tranquil in the face of the surroundin
activity, they kept up their evolution
about him. Nearby stood a small be
dropping crumbs and he had a fe'
doves around him, but most of tn
doves seemed to find the tall youn
man the greater attraction.

Sea sleds for Coast Defense.

Sea sleds are the latest craft to be
considered by the United States navy
for coast defense work. The navy is
experimenting with a half-motor boat,
half-hydroaeroplane, which neither
flies owe the water nor cuts through
it, but skips along it's surface. A "a
foot boat of this type has made 36h
miles an hour at a navy test. 1t is
hoped to obtain a boat that will carry
men at S. or 60 miles an hour. 1t is
said 200 of such craft could be built
at the cost of a single scout cruiser
and would be much more effective.
