Unwarranted 6rusqueness to Poor Old

Aroused the Ire of Another

II one wants to study human ma

than the nearest savings bank, says a
writer in the New York Sun. l had

window when a woman turned to
me.
"rve got to be careful" she said.
"rve got to be careful not TO lose II"
Then l saw that she was %pinning a lit

petticoat with a rusty safety pin.

In my stocking-but with everything
SO high as 1t is, what is a poor crea-

Another woman a few feet away
looked up Understandings. She was
sitting on a bench, putting some money
she had evidently just drawn into an
old tin strongbox. Like the first wom-
an, she knew she had got to be care
full" and did not want to lose her
money on the way home. U~ndoubted-
~ sic IOO hdlCA W AAdn IL
As 1 found myself third from the
cashiers window / noticed just ahead
of me a self-reliant looking woman,
with a richly fur-trimmed coat and a
Jewel flashing on the ungloved hand
that held her bank book. The book
held several bills of large denomina-
ton. Evidently she had come to de-
post, not to draw on her account.
In front of her and facing the CASH
Ter was a delicate-looking little wom-
an in the dingy black that told its
double tale of grief and poverty.
How will you have lit" the bank
clerk vas asking.
Evidently the woman did not know
what he meant.
How viii you have it," the dapper
young man looked at her with steely
blue eyes and his thin lips set after
he repeated his formula.
The woman's distress was apparent.
"I-I-don't know" she faltered.
How-wilI-you-have-itT' The
question was raped out like a Sc
ries of blows and the woman covered
under them.
The well-dressed woman put her
hand lightly on the arm of the other.
HE means do you want your money
In one or in five or ten-dollar bills"
she explained softly. and the woman
gave her a look of gratitude as she
turned to the clerk and said:
"In fives, please, sir. l hope you'll
pardon me, sir; I didn't understand"
AS the woman In furs took her place
before the sleek young clerk, who
leaned forward deferentially to do her
bidding, she looked him over much as
she might have studied any other
strange animal behind bars.
"You don't know how you surprised
me-" she said, smiling, as she handed
him her book to have her deposit cred
tied. sit did not seem strange to me
at all that a poor woman did not un-
derstand your jargon, but 1t did sur
prise me very much that a young man
supposed to be capable of filling your
position was not quick-witted enough
to see that the poor thing did not un-
derstand."

The report shows that the state re-
ceived for licenses during the two

Ray Is Modest Youth.

"Cockiness" in an athlete is a char
acteristic that often comes in for a
panning.
You've no doubt heard the remark
many times, Hes too cocky; he's
more hot air than anything else. He'll
never amount to anything"
Well, if you haven't heard this re-
mark, it makes little difference. Suf-
flee it to say that this very opinion
has been expressed many a time by
folks who were discussing Joie Ray,
the little Illinois Athletic club fier,
who has set the country on fire this
season with his wonderful perform
ances in the mile, the mile and one
half and the two-mile events on in
door tracks.
Joie Ray is one OF the "cocky" sort
He doesn't hesitate to express a good
opinion OF himself, and whenever he
is scheduled for big event and some
one asks for his opinion of the OUT
come he awards the decision to Joie
Ray without hesitation. He has con-
fdence in his ability that is rare; a
confidence that has surprised the east
because the east is not accustomed
to such qualities in its athletes.
Rays quality of "cockiness" brings
to mind statement made by Abel
Kiviat at one time after a western
athletic team had mopped up in an
eastern meet. Said Kiviat:
"These fellows from The ,yes. III
certainly are cocksure of themselves.
| never saw such confidence among
athletes. guess it is a characteristic
of the west"
And Kiviat was right in a way, for
the spirit and the confidence that any
good performer who comes out of the
west inevitably has in himself 20 a
long way toward deciding many ath-
letic events in the favor of athletes
who hail from the states on the sum
set side of the Allegheny range.

J, M'GRAW REAPS
GENEROUS REWARD
Builds Up Club Chat Is Worth
Two Million Coll-cJ 70
Its Owners.
RAY IS I1o03,- YOUTH
By JACK V--CCE,

New York, April For building
up a base ball club t'at worth every
red cent of $1,000 000 its Owners
today Jo,n Josephus McGraw has
reaped jus reward.
When the announce ucnt was made
that he had sirned a fyo-year con-
tract with tie Gia":.s for salary re-
puted to be 100000 year many OF
the base ball bugs whispered to them
selves that the press agent was work
ing overtime.
That any mai in la2e hall should re-
ceive such a salary seemed to be
stretching it little, for i'll one Jump
McGraw outdi5tanced the presidents
OF both lca~"cs in tie r'atter of
yearly stipend, 1t seemed ridiculous
to think OF.
That McCraw's new contract calls
for a straight salary of $50 900 is
problematical, but that his yearly in
come for managing the Giants will
amount to that much is certainty.
McGraw has been given stock in the
club, and lie will receive certain
percentage of the net earnings.
Whatever the Little Napoleon of
base ball is to get for his services-be
it fifty or sixty thousand a year-he
is worth every cent OF it to New York.
He started at the bottom with the
Giants in 1902. He took the club
when it was hopeless tail-ender
and he brought it up from the mire.
During his long career he has won
FIVE pennants for New York, and his
teams have participated in four
worlds series, winning the series of
1905 and the worlds championship
from the Athletics.
This year McGraw has surrounded
himself with team of players who
seem certain to win the National
league emblem. The Giants as they
stand represent the greatest all
around combination that the National
league has seen in years, and about
half of the players have been devel-
oped by McGraw himself.
AS judge Of players and handler
of men McGraw ranks with the great
est managers in base ball history. He
is man of imposing personality, and
there is not doubt that his presence
in the national game has done much
to popularize it. To McGraw must be
given the credit for bringing about
the end Of the bali players strike.
To McGraw goes the credit for setting
the pace and establishing precedents
that have made for the uplift of the
National league. All in ALL he is a
mighty power in himself, and credit
to the game.

Gossip Heard All Around
In the Snortinu World

Southpaw hittcrs are going TO have
some trouble in the National league
this year. For fork hand singers are
plentiful in the old loop for some rea-
son or other this season. The Giants
have the strongest lineup OF port
siders. They are Ferdie Schupp,
Rube Benton and Slim Sallee, a
pretty keen trio OF hurlers. The
Braves have Tyler, Nehf and Allen.
The Chicago Cubs have Vaughn and
Packard, the Cardinals have Steel,
the Phils have Rixey. Rigler and Fit
terry, the Pirates, Cooper, and the
Reds, Mitchell. Three hundred hit
ters in the National league this year
are likely to be all right handlers.
John DIN Is loose again. John is
in Chicago hurting lot OF challenges
and dehes. He AYERS Joe Stecher is
afraid to meet him and he brays that
he stands ready and willing 10 meet
the world. If John isn't careful, Marin
Plestina, among others, will hear him.
1t will be remembered when Olin
appeared in Council Bluffs month or
so ago Plcstina faced him with a roll
OF bills in each hand and said, "Comc
on" And Olin started the marathon.
Last December Plestina offered DIN
81 900 to wrestle him, but the Finn
didn't need the money. Olin may not

CLOSED CAR USED
FOR SUMMER TOURS
No Longer is Motor Trip Nee.
essarily Grimy Excursion
Of Roughing It.
HUDSON FOLLOWS TREND

"The vogue of the closed car for
summer use has been accepted finally
by the highest authorities Of mode
said Guy L. Smith. 1T was deter
mined partly by the greater beauty oil
this type and partly by advantages oil
comfort and cleanliness.
"A few years ago closed cars were
practically never seen in summer.
Men and women OF the highest so.
cial standing regarded a summer au-
tomobile trip as a necessarily grimy
excursion and rather gloried in rough
ing It.
"Then they struggled into all sorts
OF outre costumes and muffled and
goggled to the eyes streamed over the
country with wells and linen busters
streaming like battleship with all its
pennons broken out.
There has come within the last
few years, however, realization that
summer automobile travel may be as
luxurious and comfortable as win
ter run to the opera. Appreciation
OF this has been shown in the re-
markable growth in favor of the
closed car. No longer are women will
ing to endure such unnecessary dis
comforts OF dust, whipping the eyes
and pelting the complexion to a raw,
wind-dried harshness. Even then au-
tomobiling was glorious.
Chauffeur Drives Car.
"But II has become more and more
the vogue for summer travel to be
done in closed cars. Nowadays the
woman drives from her summer home
in a chauffeur-driven car, alighting
with her clothing as clean and we'll
arranged as il she had stepped from
her boudoir. At the country club, on
the boulevards and in the fashionable
shopping districts you will notice an
ever-increasing proportion Of chauf-
feur-driyen cars this summer.
THE Hudson Motor Car company
apprehended this trend by doubling
its production of chaufeur-driven
cars this year. We are selling large
numbers Of them. Indeed the indi-
Gated increase is more than the 100
per cent provided for in the factory
production schedule. Limousines and
town cars are dominating in favor,
but there is also wide vogue in the
convertible types. such as the seven
passenger sedan and the three-pas-
senger cabriolet."

The jovial Robbie was patting him
self soundly between the shoulder
blades when he put Laverne Fabrique
at shortstop and saw him perform
like a tried and true major Lacquer
right off the reel. Robbie was lust
naturally satisfied with himself, that's
all.
But one morning Robbie found an.
other problem on the inheld. 1t was
the problem Of deciding who should
play third base. He finally picked
Ivan Olson for the job, and eventu.
ally, Mike Mowrey was shuffied out
OF the lineup and sent to the minors.
Olson went well enough at the hot
corner in the early spring workouts
bit as soon as the nlayers began to
sting the ball Robbie noticed that
lvrn was wobbly at times.
Ard now it is un to Olson to make

DILLON VICTIM OF
OWN REPUTATION
Man Killer Now Has to Murder
Opponents to Be Given
the Decision.
SAYS THAT HE is QUEERED

Jack Dillon, erstwhile indianapolis
bearcat, man-killer and holder OF
several sanguinary titles, is the most
unfortunate scrapper inhabiting the
United States. His refusal to bat
tie Jim Flynn after he had lost his
chance to get on with Les Darcy
brought it out fully.
When Dillon went to New York
not long time ago Billy Miske
battled' him for ten rounds and did
fairly good job Of it. Dillon scored
heavily against the St. Paul false
alarm, but he was much surprised
the next day to discover that nearly
every newspaper in the city had
come to the conclusion that Miske
had beaten him. .....
Then Jack returned to New York
and met Miske again, He didn't
make quite SO good a showing, but
he did well and easily held Misl;e to
a draw. However, the critics again
set it down as victory for Miske.
Rep Queered Him.
Then Dillon got mad, He came to
the conclusion that his former rough
ness had got him in bad. He had
made such habit of beating up his
opponents that critics were unable to
see his side OF the bout when he
failed to knock somebody down a
few times when he appeared in a
ring.
So he got himself matched up with
Al Mccoy as prelude to his bat
ting Darcy. He whipped Mccoy so
bad it was shame, but he was in
censed when he awakened the next
morning and found himself criticised
for not knocking Mccoy out In
fact, two rounds of the scrap were
credited to Mccoy by more than one.
Took Beating.
Mccoy took a beating that many a
heavyweight would have fallen un-
der. He was hit plenty Of times
and he was hit hard He deserved full
credit for winning the bout just as
far as he did, but he didn't get it.
Dillon says he will fight in New
York again, but not until he is Of
fered a real purse.

iris SPEAKER IS
STILL YOUNG MAN
Cleveland Star Only % Years
Old Despite Tinge of Gray
in His Hair.
is INSURED FOR $4,000
How old is Iris Speaker?

How old is Iris Speaker?
His hair is tinged with gray, deep
lines are noticeable about the eyes
and forehead. He looks like a man
of 40.
Cleveland's great outfelder has
been in the American league since
the fall of 1908.
Come on fans, hazard a guess or
two-bet you can't name his exact
age.
OF course, you all give up; so here's
the right dope.
Speaker was born in Hubbard,
Tex, on April 4, 1888, SO that makes
him % years old, and some of you
fans thought he was an old man.
$4,000 Insurance.
The Indians are assured OF at least
five years of great ball playing by
Tristram Speaker, possibly more, for
he is a splendid specimen of manhood
today and wise enough to take good
cares of himself.
Cleveland fans probably do not
know that Speaker is insured by the
ball club against both death and ac-
cident, and the amount Of insurance
is $4,000.
1t was by taking a peek at the in
surance policy that the foregoing
facts concerning Speaker were
CLEANED, and chat with the physi-
clan who examined the athlete brings
to light the fact that iris is a physi,
cal marvel, possessing a wonderful
constitution.
Started as Pitcher.
II Is perhaps not generally known
that Speaker started out as a pitcher.
This was in the fall OF 1906 with the
Cleburn club OF the Northern Texas
league. He drew the munihcent salary
of $50 month.
When kid on the sand lots.
Speaker started as a right hand
twirler and II was only by accident
that he pegs left-handed today.
Becomes Southpaw.
He was thrown from horse, which
resulted in the fracture of two bones
in the upper right arm and one in the
lower. AS soon as he could hcave a
ball without jarring his right side too
much, Iris was out practicing with
his left hand, and even before the
bones OF his right arm were fully knit
he had acquired enough mastery of
the southpaw delivery to be In de-
mand for pickup games.
Perhaps what he regarded as a
link" at the time saved Speaker from
being . mediocre pitcher instead Of
one OF the greatest outhclders the
game ever knew.
