NAVY YARD TEAM
PLAYS GOOD BALL
Victories Over Operations
and Rex Show Gunmakers
to Be Strong Combination.

That Tom Crooke has got together
one of the strongest independent
teams in the city to represent the
navy yard seems certain, in view of
the victories the Gunmakers have
been scoring. Saturday Operations
went down before Crooke's men by
to 0. and yesterday Rex Athletic
Club was compelled to take the short
and Rex have stood among the best
on amateur diamonds.
In the first place. Crooke has three
good pitchers in Sterzer, Buscher and
Humphries. His catching stan, Gle
bel and Giovanetti, could not be much
improved upon in amateur ranks.
Crooke himself is holding down the
first bag. All Watt is playing second
Mcmahon third and Mccarthy short.
The outfield personnel varies. but
three competent players usually hold
down the positions.
Buck" Sterzer pitched for the Navy
Yard men yesterday and famed eight

team The fielding of Mcmahon and
Watt for the winners and the gen.

nails and lost by 1 to 4. The Cardi-
nails got three runs in the second IN

The foot ball match between the Beth

American advertising methods which,
as is generally the case in Europe, are
thought to be merely silly exagger-

criticism is now made Of the Ameri-

they are admitted to be skilled play
ers. but their idea Of cooperation and

This last-named characteristic" :"
says one critic, became So plain at
times that the Americans now, as in

Had the Bethlehem team come here

The moral Of the match. which has
created q sensation in the Swedish foot

to see that whoever is responsible shall
not be allowed to exaggerate our teams

have pointed out is not from the

though we might take into thoughtful
consideration the question as to whether
there may not be something in the COM

1ollERs SPENDING LAvls s.
En1iish Laborsrs Have More Money
Than Ever and Demand
Luxurles.

London, England.-More money than
eyer before is now III circulation in
English villages, and its easy expen-
diture is apparent even to the casual
passerby. Extra wages, earned by
workingmen, housemaids and farm
laborers have brought about an aston
fishing social change.
One evidence of this is seen in the
great increase in bicycles and motor
cycles, which has necessitated the es-
tablishment of countless garages and
repair shops throughout the country.
Dancing clubs are springing up every
where. Whist clubs are favorites and
the costliness of the prizes for which
the members play few years ago
would have constituted almost scan
dial.
The sense Of we'll being and the de-
mand for q more comfortable life is
assigned as the cause for this last
development. It is taken by sociolo-
glsts as a permanent thing, which is
more likely to increase than to dimin-
ish.

Twenty-four years ago Niger dis

There came man to the Bliss home
a few days earlier and begged to buy
Niger, a man bound for Alaska, he
said. But the owners refused to sell.
And so until last week Mr.. and Mrs.
Bliss knew only that Niger had gone,
and that the man with the fever Of
the Klondike in his veins had gone
also. Then Elias brought them the
collar. The leather is still in good
condition and the name on the brass
plate. u. ]. Bliss, 1894" il as plain "a

So the sea has shed a little light on
the abduction OF Niger: he started
for Alaska, at least. Maybe his new
owner cast the collar into the sea. But
maybe one of the wrecks that dot the
coast could tell a little more Of the
story.
