 The recent Federal League season was rendered remarkable by the con1- back of three. of the old twir1ing stars of O.

 Brown got his nickname of st1iper'' from the fact that he was a coal digger before he donned the spangles, of the great American pastime. It was in 1901 that he broke into pro- fessionaI baseball in Terre Ffaute, Ind, which city is still his heEne.

 When Joe Tinker took charge of the Reds in 1913 he hired Brown for his pitching staff. Mordecaf declares that he was never fully paid for his Cincinnati services, and a few weeks ago he brought suit against the Red management for $1,23O, alleged to be due on his 1913 contract. Brown went over to the Feds after the close of the 1913 season, at the same time Joe Tinker Jumped to the Chifeds, and the veteran twirIer was made the manager of the St. Louis Feds at the beginning of the 1914 season.

Admiral Fullam, Former
 Head of U. S. Naval
 Academy, 60 Tomorrow

Rear Admiral William Freeland Fullanl, who was recently relieved
 as superintendent of the United States Naval Acadany, at Anna polls, will be | 60 tomorrow, having been born Oc- tober 20, 1855, in Monroe county, N. Y. While it is not intimated that Admiral F'ul1a1n was in any way re- sponsibIe for the conditions at the
 academy which resulted in the recent Epublic scandal, his retirement froro the post was probably due to the de- sire of the Navy Department chiefs to inaugurate an entirely new system at Annapolis, with new officers who would not be influenced by the past.
 The cribbing practice and other viola tions of the rules and regulations have within the past year resulted in the uIsion of so many nidshipnen that the officer t'crop'' of the navy is seriously threatened. Admiral Fullam
 has won the respect and admiration of his brother officers. by the strict
 performance of his duty in exposing the scandal of the stolen examination papers and in demanding the punish ment of the guilty ones. When he as- sumed the post of superintendent at Annapolis it was understood that he Intended to stay but a short time, but
 his colleagues are almost to a unit in declaring that he put in that time we'll by exposing prevalent abuses. It has been hinted that the house. cleaning inaugurated by Admiral Full lam might have been more sweeping except for the interference of men with political influence, who used all their. endeavors to save the accused
 niddies from the just wrath of. the superintendent.
 Admiral F,ullam has been prorni- nent in the United States navy ever since he graduated from Annapolis, at the head of his class, in 1877. Early. in his career he served on the Euro. pean and China stations, and from 1888 to 1904 he was Instructor in diff ferent departments and head of the department of ordnance at the Naval Academy. During the Spanish American war he served on board the New Orleans. In 1909, while com mandant of the Naval Training Sta ton at Newport. he was commissioned ca ptain, and was placed in conn mand of the battfeship Mississippi. He reached the rank of rear admiral this year. Admiral Fu1lam as the author of the United States navy s.Handbook of Infantry and Artillery and other military text books.
