TO AID MINERS.
Government Sends Out Circulars Con-
corning Safety Propaganda.

In its efforts TO neach all OF the mill
lion miners in the United States with its
safety propaganda, the bureau of mines,
department of the interior, has started
the issuance of miners circulars in for
eign languages. The first of proposed
series of circulars for the benefit of the
foreign born. containing first lessons in
/ first aid to the injured has Just been rs
sued in Italian, Polish and Slovak and
while these circulars are meant primar
| lily for the miners, they contain inforna-
ton of such a general character as to
make them helpful to any man of the
three nationalities who works under any
| degree of hazard.
In order to make these circulars OF
educational value and TO teach and en-
courage the foreigners TO learn the Eng
lish language, the foreign translation is
given on one page and the English equiv
alent on the opposite page with the para
graphs numbered.
"The issuance of these circulars by the
bureau Of mines in foreign languages i
not only an additional effort toward the
safety of the miners. but is also a step
in the line Of good citizenship" said Sec
rotary of the Interior Lane to-day. "We
would all naturally prefer to encourage
the miners to read English. but insofar
as the bureau Of mines Is concerned, its

AFTER MORE BOY SCOUTS.
Benefits of Organization Will Be Placed

New York, March 2l.-Inauguration OF
a movement through which the Boy
Scouts of America hoped TO place the
benefits of the organization before 5000
100 boys OF scout age in the United
States, was announced here Monday
Field secretaries are to visit cities and
towns throughout the country to carry

New York is certainly the center in the
cross-country running in this land There
were las entries last Saturday in race
which was won by Harry McGinn in rs

When Christy Mathewson started
south this spring as a manager, it would
go to indicate that he had stopped on
the long road which has formed his ca
reer as a pitcher. Mathewson was one
of the greatest pitchers the game ever
knew, man who has been promoted to
the honor OF manager Justly earned in
the long span of years he represented
the New York club.
johnson is the only veteran in the
big show to-day who has much of a
chance of beating "Old" Cy Youngs rec
ord as a pitcher. Cy pitched over 500
games, while in the ten years elapsed
since Johnson started his big league ca
reer he has pitched but 400. Ii there
was an argument started as to John
sons ability to win over Young's record,
a safe bet would be against the big fell
low, although he is one of the easiest
working men in the national pastime to-
day "Old" Cy Young has set a mark
that will be alone for years to come.
A report from the Pacific coast says
that the Coast league ball this summer
will not be of a stronger quality than
has been shown in former years. The
San Francisco Seals are called the
strongest club in the circuit. The Oak
land team across the bay from Frisco
is not as strong as it was last season,
when it trailed in the cellar position, and
things are looking pretty dull in Oak
land. When San Francisco has a poor
team, the entire league is on the blink,
as the Frisco crowd is always the pay
of the league and when the
Seals are not winning there is mighty
poor sporting blood.
Jimmy johnson of the Brooklyns is
one of the most improved players in the
spring training camps. Since he has been
in the South this spring, he has been
hitting the pill mile and fielding ev-
erything which comes his way. He is |
likely to be stationed at regular berth. |
William " Mccarthy has been elected |
captain of the Lehigh university basket
ball team another season. He lives in
Springfield, Mass, and plays a forward |
position on the quintet.
All things considered, Chef Thomas
and Forrest Cady have been a pair of
serviceabe catchers for the Boston
Americans, always in condition and al
days willing to work.
