Admiral Dewey's Last Fight
rom Golfers Weekly.

f rom COlHerS WeeNly-
 For nearly four years after MT. Wilson became President and appoint ed Josephus Secretary of the Navy, Admiral Dewey sat in his office in the Navy building at Washington, ap- parently doing nothing. In the adjoin~ ing room the general board of the navy held daily sessions. The admiral was nominal head of the board, but he seldom joined in the discussions. The science of naval warfare had made great strides since his victory in Manila bay and he was too wise a man not to know that the business of adjusting the national defenses to the new conditions belonged to a younger generation. Time must have hung heavily on his hands notwith- standing the good-natured patience of his disposition and the solace he got from the visits of old friends and ship mates, yet he continued to go to his office with more than clerkly regu- larity solely because he feared a clash, disastrous to the navy. between the knowledge of the general board and the ignorance of the secretary. He was admiral of the navy. By act of Con- gress he could not be retired except at his own request. Not even the President could remove him. Josephus the secretary might disregard the rec concentrations of the general board, which has no political affiliations and no newspaper advocates. But Josephus the politician would think long time before quarreling with the irremovab1. admiral and popular hero. Admiral Dewey saw the advantage of his posi- tion and used it to the fullest extent in the service of the country He was the buffer between the board and the navy department-the interpreter. the diplomat.

Cubans Who Wounded
 American to Be Punished

Havana February 27.-United States Minister Gonzales delivered a note to President Menocal today asking the government to continue with all vigor it's effort to capture and adequately punish the rebels implicated in the wounding of William H. Leerpabel, the American mining engineer, at Carlta mine near Cienfuegoes, February 20.
 The note declares that the United States considers all members of the rebel party equally guilty and says the United States will not cease efforts to bring about the punishment of all rebels ''who dare to make attempts against American lives and property and will oppose their pardon or ann nesty to them.'
 It is understood the declaration was made in ordeR to leave no room for a misunderstanding as to the United States policy toward the uprising, all though that policy already clearly has been defined.
 It is said that Enrique Mazs, liberal candidate for representative, who was sentenced to several years imprison~ ment for attacking the German charge in 1912, was among the party which attacked MT. Leerpabel and was wounded by government troops which pursued the rebels.

Australian Sheep Stations

From the National Geographic Magazine.
 The ranch is community in itself. There is a blacksmith shop, carpenter shop and laundry, in addition to the familiar sheep pens and wool sheds. Be- sides the station house-a roomy struc- ture of stone and galvanized iron-there are outlying houses for workmen and huts for the families of ''blackfellows''-- the docile dependents who are fed, cared for like children, and render inefficient service
 There is not the hustle and long hours of labor common to American ranches, for the Australian employe has clearly defined working days. But the employer and his family are not restrict- ed, and their work is varied and ar- duous
 The women of the family, refined, ed ucated and broadened are bearing the household burdens running the store, postoffice, and telegraph station, acting as nurse and medical adviser to women and children of the blacks" and making life more endurable for the small ranch man of the neighborhood.
 The ever present temptation to let things slide is courageousely resisted. Culture is shown in a collection of good books and musical instruments, in the appearance of the table. the leisurely or dering of meals and the discarding from conversation of the cares of busy day. Time is arranged for reading, for quiet gossip and for interchange of ideas on wide range of subjects. The dirt and annoyances incident to ranch life are kept outside the home.

Here is a story unique in baseball:
 It's the story of a magnate without a franchise; the yarn of man with money invested in baseball, but with no club; the tale of man who owns one ball player-no more, no less.
 Harry Sinclair, Oklahoma oil magnate, who was prominent in the Federal league in it's last days, is the clubless owner, and Tom Seaton, the pitcher, is his property.
 The story runs like this:
 When the Federal league ceased it's existence Sinclair was in possession of several star players. He sold them here and he disposed of them there, and when time came to close his books Seaton was the only man left. One of the reasons that he couldn't sell Tom, who had been a star with the Phillies, was that he pos sessed a contract calling for more than SS000 a year.
 Finally Sinclair appealed to President Weeghman and the latter answered that

ARCHER MAY BE READY ID QUIT
 NATIONAL PASTIME
Veteran Catcher of Chicago Cubs Threatens to Re-.
 tire From Game

News that the Cubs left on their train Ing trip without Jimmie Archer, former first string catcher of the Chicago out fit. combined witk the fact that President Weeghman of the Bruins, had declared war on any member of his team who wonld refuse to accept terms and join the squad on the iaunt to the coast, may mean the Iassing from baseball Of one of it's most unique players.
 Jimmie Archer mad a precedent to live up 10 wher he joined the Cubs. The job had been held by the veteran Johnny <ling. one Of the greatest stars baseball ever produced. Cub fans demanded high class catching and got it.
 One of the peculiar things about Archer was that his throwing arm had been mu- tilated by fire and did not look capable of the great throwing strength needed in that position. ATche, had been a tanner before entering baseball and his arm had been terribly scalded by boiling fumes from the tannery vats.
 Archer's fingers are a maze of broken bones. There IS not straight finger on his right hand ard the fingers are twisted like roots On tree.
 Archer declares ne will leave baseball although he may accept circus contract this year.

GRATITUDE ID SOME PLAYERS UNKNOWN Instances Show That Some
 Ball Players Fail to Appreciate

The gratitude of some ball players is well illustrated in the cases of Stengle of the Dodgers, and George Burns of the Tigers. both of whom are holding out for more money.
 Stengle in 1915 was not in condition to play baseball, yet he was carried through the entire season and his salary was paid regularly. His lack of condition was not the fault of the Brooklyn club, and last year he didn't set the world on fire.
 Burns received injuries two years ago which put him out of the game for the season. He was attended by club physi- elan at the cost of more than 5000 and was paid his regular salary. Last year he received bonus of several hundred dollars for batting above .2s0.
 Iii the words of the old song-"Thats gratitude.

Sinclair Gums One Player;
 SeQtOn'S Status In Muddle

he would take the pitcher. but that he would make no payment until Seaton had demonstrated that he was the star of old. If Seaton proved that he still re- tained his effectiveness then Weeghman would pay to Sinclair $15,000 in cash and take possession of the twirler, but if Seaton failed to make good then weegh- man would pay nothing.
 That was the agreement, and Seaton failed te measure to the mark of star When the American association season closed he was turned back to the Cubs and since President sWeeghman had never seen fit to pay the $15,000 he automatical- ly became the property of Harry Sinclair.
 And there you are. Sinclair's hold upon the Seaton is the only visible con- nection between organized baseball and the rival that threatened it's existence, and since that contract has expired all sorts of complications may arise. Could Sinclair sell Seaton and make the tran fer stick? Is Seaton free agent? He be- longs to no club, since Sinclair. to whom he was bound, is no longer in the game.
 What is the status of Tom Seaton?
