RAILROAD HAS SPOILED TOWN
Sterling, In the Austrian TyroI, No
Longer the Pleasant Hating Place
That II Was Years Ago.

Sterling is town of the passer-by,
a hamlet marked by the footprints Of
20 centuries of voyaging great men.
The little town lies in the Austrian
Tyrol, on that railroad which In peace
times runs southwark from Innsbruck
TO Verona. Nowadays few voyagers
stop at Sterling. for the railroad has
stretched days journey immensely
and thereby deprived the traveller Of
most Of those one-night hating places
that were one of the intimate delights
of old-time travel, II one may believe
the records.
Sterling was such a hating place
on the old coach journey from Ger
many over the Alps to Italy. Even
today 1t impresses you as city that
might best be described as one great
inn. 1t is a typically German Inn, In
spite Of lying as It does on the Italian
slope of the mountains. Its looks and
its habits and its people are German,
though all the influences Of italian art
and Italian thought flourish only few
hours away. You may pitch a chip
into the Bremen river In the morn
ing, and. IL 1t escapes the perils OF
navigation, 1t will be In Italy before
undown.-Chicago Daily News.

BUFFALO BILL NOT WORRIED

"In the seventies, when Buffalo Bill

was ranching out on the great plains
In Colorado, and often heard men talk
of him. The Grand Duke Alexis paid
us a flying visit about that time, ac-
companled by train Of Russian
grandees, and the United States au-
thorities, who were particularly anx-
ious to do for them as well as possible,
arranged that they should be taken
for great buffalo hunt, and very SEN
sibIy put Bill Cody in charge. Bill
gave Alexis his own favorite buffalo
hunter as he was, Bill did not take
very long to find them plenty Of buff
falo to chase. Naturally there was
q troop of cavalry along for the pro-
lection Of these important visitors, as
the Sioux, Arapahoes and Cheyennes
were then hostile, and keen to take
the scalps Of any unlucky white men
they could corral. While the hunt was

sergeant came up to Bill and said !:

The proprietor of a Georgia seed
store adopted a novel method Of ex-
tracing the seeds from special va
riety of watermelon which he wished
to introduce, and of which he had a

were cut and a great crowd Of negroes
were invited in from the street to eat
their favorite fruit free. All that was
required of them besides eating melon
was to save the seeds.

 In the only other game played last week Pennsylvania trounced Cornell and gave evidence of having shaken off thesslump which gripped the five fortnight ago. The victory put the Quakers in undisputed possession of third place.
 Although the Ithacans will not win the team honors they have at least the consolation of leading in the race for individual scoring laurels with Ortner. The newly elected captain of the Cornell five has tallied a total of 1O7 points and bids fair to establish new league record. The records follow:

SATURDAY GAMES EQUALLY DIVIDED
Western Clubs Have PlunS in
 Sunday Exhibitions

New York, Feb. 26.-A study of the major league baseball schedules for the coming season shows that twenty five saturdays have been allotted about evenly between the Eastern and Western clubs of both organizations. The Western teams, of course, have monopoly of the Sunday home games, playing from two to three times the number of contests that the Eastern clubs compete in while abroad.
 In holidays the plums are well dis tributed, all the teams securing these special dates either for their home diamonds or while travelling. The dis tribution of Saturdays, Sundays and holidays both at home and abroad in the National leagues is shown in the following table:

Macon, Ga, Feb. 26.-The Sunday preceding the Monday on which the training of the New York American league baseball players will be begun found four members of the Yankee squad on hand.
 Pitcher sShawkey, and Outfelder Hendryx were golfing all day, and while they were thus engaged Ben Shaw, a recruit pitcher ,and Sam Ross. a pitcher who was here with the Tanks last spring, arrived. Shaw caught for the local club last year. He is young and large and ambitious. He is rarely endowed as to physique, and at college played football. There fore, he is prepared to take bumps behind the plate. ...
 Ross is a slender six-footer ,who in pitching equipment was promising last spring and was turned over to the Richmond team of the lnterna- tional league. He did well there until appendicitis sapped his strength. but since he was discharged from the hospital he has grown heavier. Tim Hendryx is eager for any military drilling that may be ordered. lie is right at home with gun, he says, as he formerly was a member of the Florida National Guard.
 Three more Yankees fitted into Macon last evening, all battery men, bringing the total now enrolled at the camp up to seven. The last ar rivals were Urban Shocker, Slim Love and Walter Alexander.
