r e elotion of German

Creates Great Sensa-

LONDON. September 9.-The Wash
ington State Departments revelation
of a Swedish diplomat In Argentina
acting as an intermediary for trans
ferrins German messages to Berlin has
created one of the greatest interna-
tional sensations of the war. The
Development itself is not. however. a
great surprise. the chief surprise being
that the American officials were able
TO obtain the messages as they did
the zimmerman note OF last winter
regarding German overtures to Mexico.
The Swedish government. with the
monarchy. the aristocracy and the army
officers. has been rated strongly pro-
German throughout the war, and
Queen Victoria. in several public utter
ances. has proclaimed her German sem
timents as strongly as any German
could. The Swedish people. on the
other hand. arc reported as leaning
strongly against Germany in the more
recent stages Of the war. particularly
since the unrestricted submarine cain
paisn began. Sweden's leaning to-
ward Germany wa regarded as a ma
tural complement to her old fear OF
the Russian autocracy, but the entente
nations held the hope that when the
cause for that distrust was removed
by the revolution Swedish feelings
might undergo radical change.
SPY INDUSTRY PRETTY
WELL STAMPED OUT
The suspicion has been current In
England throughout the war that Ger
many was obtaining much information
OF military movements which could not
be secured through ordinary spies, the
spy industry having been pretty W 4
stamped out here for more than year
past. after several executions In the
Tower OF London. The belief that Lord
kitchener's death. when the hampshire
went down. was the result Of informa-
tion transmitted TO Germany OF his
departure has been persistent
Compliments to American diplomacy
for the skill displayed in securing tho
messages are a part Of all the com
ment on the affair. incidentally, there
is much discussion as to whether, IN
view of the British and Argentine cx-
pericnces with Sweden. the right of
sending code messages should be given
to neutral diplomats during tho war.

CY YOUNG'S RECORDS
Pitcher Justly Known as Great
est Ever" in His Line.
During His Career He Pitched Three
No-Hit Games - Greatest Game
Against Athletics, No Man
Reaching First Base.

When it comes to breaking records,
every player in any league must still
take off his cap to old Cy Young, just
ly known as the greatest ever" in his
line. 1t was on August 3, 1890, 81
years ago, that Young climbed into
the uniform of the Cleveland Nationals
and pitched his first game in the
major leagues. That was the begin
ming of pitching career which lasted
for % years, which is only one of the
many records this remarkable player
made. 1t hasn't even been equaled
and very likely never will be.
During his long career Young hung
up few other records that will serve
as targets for long time. He pitched
three no-hit games, one for the Cleve-
land Nationals and two for the Boston

Americans. The first was in 1897,
when Cincinnati was the victim. In
1904, for the Red Sox, he pitched the
greatest game of his life against the
Athletics, not man reaching first
base. He pitched another no-hit game
in 1908.
Another record he holds is that of
pitching % consecutive innings of hit
less ball, and the successive retire
ment Of 6S batsmen. Young per-
formed many other notable feats, such
as pitching As innings without being
scored on.
When he joined the Cleveland Ma
tionals he had only brief minor league
experience with the Canton club.
Cleveland got him from Canton for
$500. He spent nine years with the
Cleveland Nationals, then two seasons
with the st. Louis Nationals and eight
years with the Boston Americans. He
returned to Cleveland in 1909 and re-
manned there until 1911, when he was
given his unconditional release, and
finished out the season and his career
with the Boston Nationals.

ALL SENSATIONS IN BRAIN
Persons Make a Mistake When They
Say They Feel Pain in Other
Portions of the Body.

Where do you feel the pain? asks
the doctor. In my finger, in my ear,
in my foot, the sufferer replies, and Ii
the physician told him he did not feel
it there but in his head, the average
man would doubt the doctors sanity.
Yet the doctor would be right.
In an address at the University of
California, Prof G. H. Parker of Har-
ward told the students that we have
been obliged to give up the idea that
sensations are spread throughout our
bodies, for persons who have lost
limb often feel sensations that. seem
to come from the missing member.
"Our sensations" said Professor
Parker, care not located in the peri
pheral parts affected but in the cen
trail nervous system, and within that
portion of it known as the cerebral
cortex" This is the outer layer, or
gray matter of the brain. One may
lose an arm, yet have the sensation of
pain in the hand; but if a small piece
of that particular part of the brain to
which run the sensory nerves from
the arm be removed, one will never
again feel anything in that arm, not
even if the hand be placed in the fire.

Connie Mack and Hughey Jennings
are friends once more after GOODNESS
between them of six years standing.
The feud began when the Athletics
met the New York Giants in the
worlds series in 1911. Peace was de-
clared when Connie was on his last
western trip and Hughie has this to
say of how it came about and how
time healed the breach:

McGraw came to me and helped me
lay my plans for battle. You see, Nc

aid. I did. McGraw had helped me,
so why shouldn't help him? I told
him all / knew about Mack's pitchers.
1 warned him about serving a fast ball
to Frank Baker or breaking curve
close inside to him. No one in the
National league criticized McGraw for
tipping me off in 1909, but the Ath-
letics did howl about what I did for
McGraw.
sWhen Mack was in the West we
talked it all over. Time has helped
a lot, and we decided to forget the
past. We are the best of friends now.

our teams will fight it out every game,
