LEADERS HERE,
CLOWNS AND ALL
Washington Comes for Three
Game Series-New Faces
In Lineup

The Nationals OF Washington,
which are pitching. hitting and
Glowing their way 10 an American
league championship, arrived In De-
troit this morning ready for the
three-game series with the Tigers
that starts today. There are several
strangers In the National lineup TINS
year One that is sure TO be in the
game Is Judge, be new first base
man who came from Buffalo. in the
International league. He is a field
Ing marvel, but a comparatively
weak hitter.
In the outfeld may be Rondeau.
who was a Tiger catching recruit a
few years ago. He was not much
OF a catcher, but in the American
association he was given a trial as
fy-chaser in an emergency and
developed into quite gardener. he
has been used frequently by Griffith
this spring. Another new outfelder
is Barber, who may appear during
the series. A third is Jameson, who
also came from Buffalo.
Among the pitchers who are
strangers is a young Mr.. Dumont,
who has done excellent work this
spring, and Harry Harper. a south
paw developed last season at Mime
apolis by Billy Sullivan. Gallia,
Boehling and Ayers are also on the
Job, and so Is Walter Johnson. who
is slated TO pitch the Sabbath fracas.
Griffith's pitchers have not gone so
well this week as hitherto this sea-
son. and the club lost four straight
ut Boston. There is no reason TO
doubt the strength of the stan. how
ever. and n Is certain that the
Tigers will see some fancy hooks
before the weekend is over.
Washington carries q circus in
connection with the ball club this
year. Nick Altrock. favorite Of the
fans for nearly generation. is
along. and his baseball tricks will
again be a headliner Altrock has
real rival on the club this year in
q rookie by the name OF Tom Saw
yer. who is an acrobat OF great clev-
erness. He takes advantage OF his
skill to stage stunts in the coaching
box that are a scream, his line run
ming chiefly to limitations. The work
of this pair of comedians is very
entertaining and adds to the fun OF
an afternoon at the ball park.
Inasmuch as II is the custom TO
permit the Tigers to see no more
right-hand pitchers this year than
necessary. 1t would not be surprising
II Manager Griffith started Boehling
this afternoon. Both Harper and
Gallia could work, since they have
not performed since Wednesday, but
Boehling is bit fresher.
Dubuc is the morning choice for
the Tigers. Nobody except Cunning
ham has pitched since Wednesday,
however. and everybody else is ELI
gible.

MICHIGAN IS
EATING DUST
Wolverine Schools Will Be
Lucky to Win a First At
Ann Arbor Today

ANN ARBoR. Mich. June 81
Grand Rapids Central is the only
Michigan high school which has q
chance to win the state interscho-
lastic track and field meet here this
afternoon, and that chance Is nick
ering. Shaw high. OF Cleveland. has
qualified more men than any other
school. but Oregon (lll.) high stands
as good a chance TO win as any one.
according TO the dope. This little
school has sent two real stars in
LOOMS and Landers. and this pair
has cleaned up more than one meet
this spring. Loomis Is n brother OF
the famous Chicago runner. These
boys are very likely to run away
with q lot OF frsts and seconds In
the dashes. short runs and hurdles.
and they have a knack OF picking up
lot of scattering points in the field
events.
Joliet high ranks next TO Shaw in
number of men qualified. with Oregon
following with nine. Toledo Scott.
Crane Tech (Chicago) and Grand
Rapids are next with seven. A num-
Der OF schools got three men in.
among them Ann Arbor. ID. U. =.
and Detroit Eastern. Muskegon put
In two men and so did Pontiac. Bay
City Eastern was the last Michigan
school to break in the finals, but
one man landing from the upstate
school
This morning II seemed probable
that Michigan schools would not get
more than one first place In the
finals this afternoon. The one
chance is for Gleason or Wasbrook.
OF Detroit Eastern. 10 win the pole
vault. The other Eastern man to
qualify was Walbridge. who took
third In the slow heat of the half
mile run. Detroit University school
got Pond. Robb and Swift into the
finals. Pond was second in the shot
put. Swift won the slowest OF four
heats in the high hurdles. Robb
was third In the fast heat In the
quarter-mile run.

DOG DAYS"
grunbIei {

Somewhere in Septem Der thev will here now. Then shall an unhappy populace take out new lease on life. At present they are but forty eight hours old; but never in the history of creation have days grown so large and voluminous in such short space. However astronomical ob- servers may reason the existence of these days, whether they blame it on the peculiar control the star Sirius exerts on this terrestrial sphere, is of no concern. They are here, and here to stay at least six weeks. During that time should your best friend at tempt to bite off your head when you ask for a match, or should you lose the only sweetheart for whom you ever cared, do not worry; everything will right itself when the dog days go back to their kennel. Then the world will not be topsy- -turvy, the roosters will crow at dawn, the sun will shine at noon, and the night shall be filled with music and stars and delight; anything but the way it is now.
 Since the sun crossed the equator the trouble has been on. Other lines have been crossed. The atmosphere Is disturbed; the stock market is upset; lifelong friends have become foes; bachelors are getting married; divorce courts are working over time; husbands are staying out late; wives are losing all interest in the home; even boys are beginning to show lassitude. They are not cut ting up the same old capers. The old swimming holes have not the same attraction since the man-eating sharks came about. Surely, things are in @ pretty mess. The only ones who seem to be enjoying themselves are the politicians and they are hay ing 8 time of it. what with all the internal fights going on among the Progressives, and other petty quar- rels Tn a sentence, they are no days at all these dog days.

The former, rising to the north in the Tauc1lles mountains few miles below Epinal, flows south and mingles it's waters with the Rhone at t'Lyon. The Loire, the longest river in France, rises to the south and flows north west into the Atlantic.
 This is not the first war in which the Schneider works of Le Creusot have played an important part in furnishing France with arms. During the conflict of the Crimea and the FrancO-German war of 1870 the fac tories produced enormous quantities of munitions.
 While Le Creusot has practically no historical associations of It's own It is only few miles southeast of Au- tun, the famous Augustodunum Of the Romans, celebrated for its ancient schools The siXty-two towers and most of the old walls have disappeared and the town now occupies only about half the area of its most prosperous days. It was here that the Christian martyr, St. Symph orien, was put to death in 179. This too, was the cene of St. Leger's sacrifice, he who as the bishop of Autun led the nobles In revolt against the tyrant Ebro1n, Frankish mayor of the palace, When the city was besieged in SIS and it's fall was seen to be inevitable Leser, then called Leodeger. surrendered himself to his implacable enemy in or der that the wrath of the conqueror might be visited solely upon him rather than upon the whole commun- tty. Untouched by the valor of such a sacrifice, Ebroin ordered his fol- lowers to put out the bishops eyes, subject him to prolonged torture and finally behead him.
