other names had been mentioned In
connection with the post. The strong
recommendation Of John McGraw, who
Ia a close friend of both Sparrow and
Capt. Huston, was telling factor.

New Yorks, also a friend of Sparrow,

Ieit the contest to Georgetown, bu,
there was nothing left for me TO do
under the circumstances. Right IRON

Between the halves, just as play wal

asked him to discontinue his uncom.
pl1mentary remarks, because If he die
not l would have to remove him from
eho game. ne retOrted that / could not
put him out. did not have any right to
90 SO, and walked away. Soon after the
beginning Of the second half I again
warned him. because he would not keep
quiet, and I repeated that warning a
rev minutes later. but his reply was
that I could not put him out Of any
game.
1.-TWO or three minutes later he told me
that II wanted to play ought to put
on suit and not disguise myself as a
referee. Then I told him he was out
OF tho game and he refused to 20. l
went to Frank Mount Pleasant. coach
OF the team, and informed him that
Neaie was removed. Mount Pleasant
told me he could not take Neale out of
would go out also. I informed him
then that there was nothing for me to
do but forfeit the contest, which I did.
After the mix-up Manager Stansbury
told me that the action was seriously
wrong. and that he agreed with me in
what I did. Manager Stansbury SO
much realized that his men were in
the wrong that he refused to ACCEPT
the guarantee from Georgetown, not
withstanding that 1t was offered to
him.
'I would like to correct one impress
sion given out by a moring paper,
though. which was that Neale used
profane languages to me. Neale did not
do that, and 1t is an injustice to him
to have that impression created. He
was thrown out of the game simply
because he seemed determined to try
to run the game himself, which I as
referee could not condone."

NAP PRUCKER'SAB|uTY
DUE TOAFREAK BONE
Southpaw's Strength and Speed At.
tributed to Extra Arm
Support.

BROOKLYN, January 16.-One little
operation. yet an important one. will
likely bring back into power and glory
one Of the greatest pitchers that ever
played base ball. That person IL Nap
really serious thing hindering Nap
from coming back is the fact that he
must have his tonsils removed. DR..
Warren s. Shattuck, throat specialist OF
this city. was the man who pronounced
this to be the truth.
Nap was in bad form last season. His
arm went back on him and he could not
keep in condition. DR.. Shattuck was
called last spring to treat Nap for ton
silftis. He said then that Nap would
have to have the tonsils removed. Nar
said he didn't want them out. and sc
they are still in. But DR.. Shattuck
comes out now and declares that Nar
will never be able to do a come back
until he has them removed. and the
Nap wants to get into condition fol
this season. 1t Is more than likely that
he soon will come north from his
home in Alpharetta and undergo the
operation.
X-Rays Show Extra Bone.
Last fall Nap went home and after
ward had an x-ray photo taken OF
his arm. He then discovered he had
bone In his arm that is rarely
found in the human system. This
bone is about seven inches long and
three-eighths of an inch wide and
thick and extends from below the left
shoulder to the collar bone. Nap
thought this was what had made his
arm 60 back on him. and was prepar-
ing to have the bone cut out when Mr.
Ebbets turned the pictures over to
DR.. Thayer.
1t seems now, however. that that
bone won't have to be taken out al
ALL In the first place. he has had II
all his life and didn't know 1t. and II
has never been at fault in causing
Maps arm to get sore. In fact. IL
has probably been the cause Of max.
ing Nap the great pitcher he is. fol
it has strengthened the arm and giver
| him his great speed. There is still
one little thing the matter with Maps
arm. The deltoid burstitis has all dis.
appeared. but now there has been dis
covered a slight growth under the arm
| This will have to be removed. and
then Nap. with his tonsils out, will
be as good as he ever was.

LEES SURRENDER AT APPOMATTOX,

The following is h,s5sn from Fri

Lee surrendcrs! was message
flashed so years ago today.
Gen. RObera e Leo, military chief
tain Of the South and one Of the
greatest soldiers who ever lived
Yielded the best hope of the ConfeJ-
eracy on April 9, 1865, when he sur
rendered the Amy OF Northern V.v-
ginia to the Army OF the Potomac un.

house, which was and sill is cross
roads hamlet, 100 miles west by sooth
OF Richmond, was the spot consecra-
ted by the final act in the great trag
edy which four years had divided
:he foremost republic in the world
by the bloody chasm
Other Surrenders Followed.
True. it was more than two weeks
.ater when the gaunt army in gray
lnder Gen. Joseph e. Johnston laid
down it's arms to its fiery nemesis,
Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman.
-Four weeks elapsed before Gen. Rich
ard Taylor surrendered the Confeder-
ste forces east Of the Mississippi to
'en. Edward Candy, while for nearly
wo months Gen. Kirby Smith linger-
ed with the ragged remnant of his
.rmy west of that river before the
iame Union purSuer got him.
But it is the verdict Of the worlu
hat the spirit Of the Confederacy
took its flight at Appomattox.
Reduced 0 2e,231.
The gray army that Lee surrender
ed to Grant numbered 28,23l men
The blue host that, pending the ne
got1atlons, stod ready to spring upon
and annihilate it, numbered from 1O6,-
900 to 11O 900 men, according to vari-
Gus authorities. We're the survivors
OF that stirring scene marshaled In
battle array today 1000 one-time Con-
federates would face $4,000 Union
vterans.
The numerical strength Of the par
participants in the Appomattox dram,
pales into insignif1cance, however, be-
side the mighty forces that were en-
gagged in the Civil War. The total NUN
ber Of men who fought on the Union
side was 2,77S,304, according to Off
cial records. The grand total OF Con-
tederates has been placed variously at
from $4,000 to 100000, the lack OF
official data concerning discharges,
deaths and desertions accounting for
the discrepancies.
Confede rates Were Outnumbered
The largest number OF Union sol.
d1ers in service at any one time WAS
1,000,516, on May l, 1865. The Con.
1ederacy's maximum strength in .he
field at any time was $4,000 on Jan.
uary 1, 1863.
Government authorities do not
agree concerning the Union Losses in
the war, but their so-called official
figures differ widely only regarding
the number killed in action. The
greatest number Of deaths from all
causes given in any Of these off1cia,
statements is 100000. Some statis
tcians contend that this is 700 n1en
by many thousands. All agree. how.
