Robertson No Base Thief.

writer's, "goes to first in two buck
Jumps is hitting $40. and yet he has
stolen only Il few bags all season.
There are many tliers who can whip
down to first base like arrows but the
minute they get on that hassock they
are nailed. and 1t takes a hit to send
them around the bags. This is a puz-
2llng circumstance. for Robertson is
really one Of the fastest runners in
baseball.
It's a trick. this base stealing, and
one that Robertson has not mastered.

Let us hope that we may never part,
For as white rose is hope and true
Just so | will hope for you.

SPEED OF THE ZEPPELINs.
In War Trim, Fully Loaded, the Aver.
ana lie Eor$v M;I,e M L.,,

age Is Forty Miles an Hour.
Not 50 many years ago Il British en-
gllleermg expert calculated that the
Zeppelin could not attain a speed OF
thirty miles an hour. as he proved by
figures that the ship would collapse
under he air pressure. At the time
this speed had been actually exceeded
10y a Zeppelin, says K. +. Hearne in
"Zeppelins and Super-Zeppelins."
Today the tendency is to attribute
too high a speed to the vessels. In
still air 1t is doubtful if a higher speed
than sixty-tive miles an hour can be
reached, and by the most careful cal
culation Mr.. Hearne has come to the
conclusion that the average speed of
the modern, Zeppelin in war trim Is
about forty miles an hour. full load.
"Of course he says, with a favor
ing wind the ship may often be run,
ming at over sixty miles an hour, and
the difficulty Of gauging wind speed
often causes estimates of
Zeppelin speed by observers on land.
In the upper region where an airship
Is moving there may be a strong cur-
rent, while near the earth there is a
calm"
1t is we'll to note that for a short
period a Zeppelin can climb faster than
an acroplane. BY throwing out ballast,
going full speed ahead, jamming the
tail down and showing the nose up, a
Zepp jumps a thousand feet or so in
aDO hAlf a minute. This rAta of
climb, however, cannot be maintained.

Il is plainly the intention of the
war department to maintain the
drill and work regulations of the
national guardsmen. now en-
camped on the Mexican frontier, until
b men who are unable to stand the
physical strain are Weeded out and
their places filled by recruits. 1t is the
object of the Texas camps to transform
the militia into a body Of soldiers rank
Ing with the regulars and to so turn
around the old time rules of conduct
for the militia that the entire militia
establishment of the country. as con-
Etituted before the call to arms last
month. will be thrown into the discard.
All this is very well from the stand
point Of the professional soldier. The
mintiamen who went down to Texas in
response to al urgent call are not pro-
fessional soldiers and have no idea of
devoting the rest Of their lives to mill
tary work. 1t Is a question whether
they can be imbued with the regular
service idea, especially as all danger of
war with Mexico has apparently
passed, according to the news that
comes from Washington.
Without doubt the drills and camp
life are doing the men who can stand
the strain a world Of good. They will
30 back home made Yer physically
and also helped mentally. They ought
to appreciate it, but they are stubborn
enough to imagine that the arduous
training should be imposed on men
who want to fight for a living and not
on men who have jobs at home.
Not all the officers in the militia or
Plantations are satisfied. Many say In
confidence to their friends that as soon
as they get u of the regular service
they are going to resign from the ma
fional guard. 1t looks as though this
camp will impose on congress the task
Of upsetting the whole militia program
and forming an entirely new policy of
national defense on land.

He is very active and covers the court
with great speed.
Last year he was placed in the sec
ond ten, but from the way he has be-
gun the present season he bids fair to
replace one Of the immortal first ten.
Perhaps his weakest stroke is the at
tempted stop volley. which is very eff
fective on grass courts, but is not 50
useful on clay. Last year he was apt,
after piling up what should have been
a safe lead, to take things easy and to
allow his opponent to creep up and oft
times to beat him. But this year he is
taking no chances.

And not upon his past, and so do
