STATES DEATH
RATE SO LOW 1T
is SUPPRESSED

Washington has the lowest death
rate of any state in the Union. 1t
was so low in 1914 that the federal
census bureau refused to publish it,
says a press bulletin of the Washing
ton state board of health. They as
sert that the population is over esti-
mated The census bureau did the
estimating and, so far as we have
been able to learn, did not ask any
advice from the people of Washing
ton as to how high or how low the
estimate should be. But if they cut
our estimated population to the low
est figure we would still show the
lowest death rate of any state in the
Union. In fact, if our population were
left where it was in 1910, we would
be right along with the lowest. We
have a low death rate, just how low
we cannot say until census is TAX
en-, but it is certainly as low, and
probably lower than that of any 9TH
err state.

Pacific Mail Comes Back

When the Pacific Mail Steamship
company sold it's trans-Pacific steam
ships last year-at a very high fig
ure owing to the war-it was broad
ly announced that the sale meant the
abandonment of the Pacific by that
line, and that the sale was forced by
the passage Of the Seamen's law,
which abolished slavery of American
seamen.
Now we are informed by the press
dispatches that the company had three
vessels under construction at the
time of the sale, and that it will re-
establish it's Oriental line, with the
new ships, the Ecuador, Columbia and
Venezuela, the former sailing from
San Francisco on June II.
The vessels will carry the Ameri-
can flag, which some pessimistic ship
owners assured us a few months ago
had left the Pacific ocean for good,
owing to the operation of the Seamen's
law.

the hate felt for Josephus .Darffel0l

they make their appeal to the laugh

THE first sight of Josephus Daniels

brains without beef. Also he keeps
no one waiting in his ante-chamber,

round match, scheduled in Norristown to-

McCarron arrived in Philadelphia today

ing, through his manager, Johnny Burns,
that he is in fit fettle for a gruelling con-

n delivery which was permitting him to
get the maximum amount of speed out
Of his pitches.
1.-THE curve ball he used was of the
baCk-lot variety and no one had shown
him what to do with 1t or his fast ball /
was first attracted TO the youngster be-
cause of his wonderful natural fast ball.
It did not break as much as II will before
the summer Is over, but 1t surely had
something on it.
FINALLY 1 could not withstand the
temptation to send him into game. I
felt sorry for the lad when the opposing
team dt was Detroit. I thinlD started
bunting on him. Nabors was tied into
knots and If they had not taken pity on
him they would have been beating out
bunts yet. ] knew then that there was
throw the ball.
IRA Thomas also felt that the young.
ster might be developed because of his
ambition, so / turned him over to Ira.
He is still miserable fielder and he is
going to be one of the main pupils in my
little school to perfect fielding among the
boXmen.
You will be surprised when 1 tell you
that l have never had real good Held
ing staff of pitchers. You may believe
that tho staff consisting of Bender. Plank,
Coombs. Mor.r n, Dygert and Krauss were
good felders, but that is wrong. They
looked good because the other teams
thought they were and did not try to pull
anything. This staff is going to be far
superior to any have ever had, because
they are going to be taught from the
ground up.
IL often wanted to get some of my
veterans of the old staff out in the morn
ing to teach them how to field because
they did not know how to throw the ball
to the bases or work with the basemen,
did not do 1t because they thought they
were nearly letter-perfect and I came to the
conclusion that 1t was too late and that
the extra work would not be good for
them. Also we had a wonderful club,
which covered them up.
"Nabors was the greenest man l have
ever handled. / have never seen one i'm
prove so much, and l have seen some
comets who soon shot their bolt after a
meteoric career. There is great chance
for the lad. II any one had told me last
summer / would still have him 1 would
have laughed. i often wonder why | held
on to him, but 1 am glad 1 did. He is not
going to be a great pitcher this season
and may get to a certain point and never
improve, but 1 don't think a youngster
who can learn so fast is going TO disap-
point me now"

FUN MAKERS GREAT AID TO
BASEBALL PLAYERS AND CLUB
Rice Declares He Would Sign Altrock, Steve
Evans or Schaefer if He Were
Manager of Team
BY GRANTLAND RICE

TT WE ever owned a ball club--which
i we won't-the first official act would be
to sign one of three men, If they were
available at the time. The three men
referred to are Germany Schaefer. Mic
Altrock and Steve Evans.
Strain Breakers
These are the three greatest latter day
fun makers of baseball. Not that base
ball is u frivolous. frothy sort of sport.
1t isn't. 1t is n profession serious enough
to take care of the liveihoods Of over
10000 men and to furnish recreation to
over 100000 men. women and children.
But 1t is the strain of the game. the
tenseness of it at critical moments, that
makes the presence of a fun maker or
strain breaker worth while.
McGraw's Foresight
No one has ever yet accused John ].
McGraw of treating baseball in flip
pant fashion, of regarding his game as
unimportant. Baseball to McGraw is
about the most serious occupation on
earth. But, II you win recall the cir
cumstances. McGraw is one OF the first
managers to bring in fun-malSing help.
He first had Arlle Latham, and later on,
where almost any other manager In the
world would have discarded Charlie
Faust. McGraw saw strain-breaking possi-
bilities in the tall Nut and kept him with
the club to the end of the campaign, as
the finish that year had gotten upon the
nerves of the club until some form of
relaxation was needed.
Great Help
How can humorlsts or fun makers such
as Schaefer, Altrock or Evans help a
pitcher throw. a batsman TO bat or a
fielder TO catch ball?
Very definitely.
Take man like Schaefer. In the first
place, he keeps an eternal good humor
He has a buoyancy that rises above any
of the small troubles that come along and
a philosophy that keeps the larger trou-
bles to himself.
He is rare mimic and is possessed OF
unusual wit. He has the faculty of get
ting laugh-one of the rarest faculties in
the universe. Three or four men on the
club may be enmeshed in a bad hitting
streak and through this develop "A decided
depression of the soul. They can't get
their minds away from their batting trou-
bles, and constant brooding over this only
intensiiies the fault
Enter Schaefer, eXuding an atmosphere
of geniality and good humor, Some funny
quip follows-some high-class piece of
mimicry, and a laugh follows. In a few
minutes the player has forgotten his worry
for the time being anyway, with his mind
attracted to a lighter side of life, The
result is sure TO be beneficial and to be
of great aid to the entire club.
Any detail which can make the morbid
forget for a while the run Of troubles
