Champion for the Whale.

Under the new law the only game
that can be shot from an airplane is a
whale. Also it Is still permissible to
lombard whales from buzz wagons or
motor launches. The whale has few
champions among the game lawmak-
ers, says the Los Angeles Times. Any
one stumbling on the fresh spoor of
whale is permitted to plug the animal
on sight with whatever artillery he
may have on hand. Why the whale
should be thus marked for slaughter
is not explained. Left to itself the
whale is perfectly harmless beast,
having no grudge against any man.
They will not even bite a loan shark
unless provoked. There is no reason
why they should be left at the mercy
of every pea shooting aviator. That
was no way for the legislators to cele-
brate the week set aside for being kind
to dumb animals.

Anericanism In the Making.

Almost anything you can think of, It
is said. can be seen somewhere in that
long, erratic historic street that strays
upward from the point Of Manhattan
island, cutting across the streets and
avenues of the worlds largest city
at it's own sweet will. Something once
seen there by Mr.. J. B. Kerfoot, the
author Of Broadway, indicates that
the enterprise, the daring and adapt
ability to new conditions that were
characteristic of the early settlers In
America are still characteristic of the
people who are crossing the Atlantic
to our shores in the twentieth CEN
fury.
One day, says Mr.. Kerfoot, saw an
italian peasant woman, fresh land
ed from the steerage and dressed In
all the fete-day regalia of her native
province, chase Broadway car for
half block In front of the post Of
fee. She caught up with it from be-
hind when it stopped at Park place,
and falling to notice the entranceway,
grasped the brake handle Of the rear
platform, threw sturdy, red-stock-
inged leg over the rail, and swung her.
self aboard with the satisfied air Of
having successfully surmounted one Of
the early difficulties Of the new coun-
try.
Broadway smiled, collected her fare,
and went on about its business

BELGIAA BELLS ARE SAFE
Huns Lacked Time to Destroy the
WorId-Famous CariIIons OF
Mechlin and Bruges.

Lovers of bell music will be glad
to hear that the famous carillons at
Mech1in and Bruges were not destroyed
by the Germans, says the Living
Age. They were actually marked for
destruction--to supply the boche with
materials for making munitions but
the German army had become a salt
ed slug" to use soldiers picturesque
similitude, before the act of vandalism
could be carried on.
Joseph Denyn has actually been
playing on his beloved Hemony bells,
and one can imagine the delight with
which the people Of Mechlin once more
hear the greatest Of carilloneurs dis
play his enraptured virtuosity in a
clear sky. You get a wonderful and
unwonted view from st. Rombold's
stupendouS tower in these days Of
still imperfect peace, for the tall CHM
neys OF the Belgian factories are now
smokeless and the air is SO clear that
you can surmise, even If your eye can
not reach, the edged glimmer Of the
sea on the far blue horizon.
But Belgium has no love for idleness.
and everybody will be glad when the
dark, fantastical smoke blossoms are
seen once mere Oh their straight stalks
to sway and fluctuate to the far
flung music Of the historic bells cast

HAS NO DEFINITE ENDING
Can Say Just Where "Great White
Way" Terminates.

The peregrinationS of that farfamed
street Of the metropolis that "goes
galumphing downnill and up again to-
ward the open, shaking itself as it
goes, and tossing up huge piles Of big
apartments for the pure love of using
surplus energy" have been noted by
many observers. 1t begins at the ex-
IRENE end Of Manhattan island and
hurries northward at pace that is
said to be killing; as to where it ends,
this is what Mr.. j. B. Kerfoot says in
his Broadway:
They say 1t ends at Albany. Broad
way occasionally lies low, like Brer
Rabbit. But it never ends. Albany?
Why, I myself know a place in Mime
sofa where IL crops out for mile or
so. And once landed on the beach
Of an Alaskan ford where, two weeks
before, so was assured by the old
est inhabitant of the city / found there,
nothing but untrodden tundra and des-
olation were to be seen. At that mo-
ment, however, there were more than
1000 inhabitants, living under canvas
and dreaming gold dreams. The ho-
tel, looking like a gospel tent, stood
on a corner, displaying its sign; in
front Of it was lamp-post with half
bruned candle in it's lantern. Under
the lantern two box Stats had been
nailed crosswises On one was paint
ed Twenty-third street, and on the
other Broadway.
Albany? Nonsense! The last time
I saw it Broadway was headed for the

COWBOY NOT YET EXTINCT
May Be Fewer Than Some Years Ago,
but This Traveller Tells of Meet
ing One.

"You mean to say" began, shat
there are still real COW" But as
smiles were beginning to pass about
the platform I desisted, realization
beginning to dawn why the barber
said that the men we had seen driv-
ing cattle back in Kansas would be
pleased to have been called cow
punchers.
The trip at once began to assume a
new interest, and when the mine bar
Der came back on the platform eyed
him with something of that reserve
with which one contemplates a de-
ceitful man. But nothing could pene-
trate his drawing sang-froid.
AT a tank station farther along
there was opportunity to stretch our
legs; opportunity, also, to observe at
close range bronzed, dark-haired
cow-puncher who had paused on his
mustang to observe the train. The
barber approached him confidently.
''Neighbor," he said, II bought a
gun in K. c., Mizoo. What do you
think of it?'
The puncher took the wicked A.
balanced it in the palm of his hand.
twirled it around on his forefnger,
and then brought it to bear upon a
tin can lying in the road about 20
feet away. Bang! The can leaped into
the air. Bangl 1t rolled five feet
farther along. Bang! Again it few
into the air and rolled. Bangl It
rolled again. Bang! The can disap-
peared In the dust.
ITS good gum said the puncher.
handing it back, "only It shoots little
high"
A little high! Rather nice crlti-
cism, I thought. The barber snapped
out the cylinder, reloaded the weapon
and passed silently into the back
ground. My impression was that he
was avoiding some questions on my
part relative to Kansas City bad men;
but may have been wrong.
We began to fly through the level
ground, perspectives on all sides dot
ted with peaks upon which clouds
rested. Suddenly along the trail ap-

Superstition is great little institu
ton, especially as applied to baseball
players. One could no more separate
the average player from his belief In
the uncanny world of magic than one
could argue Buck Weaver out OF 3
base hit. There is the case of Eddie
Cicotte, for instance.
After what has happened to this EN-
inent shine ball and knuckle ball ex-
pertj this year ball players will be
more securely intrenched in the beliefs
that sway their activities and infiu-
ence the action of their managers
writes George S. Robbins In Chicago
News.
cicotte Is Superstitious.
Eddie, I want you to pitch the hrst
game of the year," said Kid Gleason
addressing Cicotte.
ssTd rather not, boss" replied Ci-
cote, -
'Why not-what's the argumentY'
asked the Kid.
Then this famed finger unfolded
the most amazing story that the Kid
had heard in many day. Gleason,
who doesn't believe in superstition,
just had to listen to Eddie.
"You see Kid. when I've pitched an
opener I'VE had rotten season." ex-
planned the foxy Cicotte. II appreci-
ate the honor Of being asked to hurl
the first game and all that, but don't
care for the honor-I want to win.
When rye not pitched the opener I've
won"
Gleason was reluctant to accede to
this amazing request. The first I'M
pulse Of the scrappy leader would
have been to give ball player nice
little cuff, reminding him painfully OF
his indiscretion. Cicotte, however,
stands ace high with the Kid and
Gleason recalled that a es-HS non the
second day Of, the season was just
as valuable In the team standing as
one captured on opening day.
"You win, Eddie!' replied this vet
eran conditioner Of athletes.
That is why the preseason dope OF
Cicotte's pitching the opener all went
awry. Williams hurled the first game
and Eddie the second. Gleason was
skeptical about the superstition busi-
ness, but .was,eager to find out wheth-
er Cicotte was working on a lucky
bunch. Eventualities have proved that
Eddie was laboring on lucky tip.
Victorious In 1917 Season.
AS the dope ran, Cicotte failed to
pitch the opening game in 1917 and the
world knows what happened. He lit
orally sifted through the circuit with
his mixed assortment of slab wares
like shell through shack of straw.
The preceding season Cicotte started
the ball rolling In the American
league for the Sox and he had medi-
OGRE season.
In 1918 Cicotte pitched the opener
for former Manager Rowland. Ones
memory doesn't need to be refreshed
to recall what happened last year. Oh
cote travelled 6fty-one innings with
out run being scored behind his slab
bing. 1t was counted among his I'M
lucky years.
With a sma1l portion of the 1919
season reeled off, Cicotte looks to be
invincibIe on the hill. His delivery
seems identical with that of 1917,
when he won the league flag for Chi
cago hands down.
Cicotte today is the most feared
pitcher in, the American league just
as be was in 1917 when he didn't pitch
the first game for the Chicago Sox.

A total of about 5000 Indians enlist
ed to fight against Germany in the
war, according to information given
out by the Office of the commissioner
of Indian affairs at Washington, sew
eral hundred of them being in the
navy. The Indians were not segre-
gated and there were no army units
made up exclusively of Indians. They
served in the ranks and fought beside
the other soldiers without regard to
the fact that they were Indians. Off

WORLD SERIES HERO
BACK WITH PIRATES
Babe Adams, Veteran Pitcher,
Will Try to Come Back.
After Being Dropped by Pittsburgh In
1912, He Drifted into Western
League and Then to Kansas
City-Made Good

Charles 3. (sBabe'') Adams, hero or
the 1909 world series, will try to come
back with the Pittsburgh Pirates this
year. Adams Is thirty-five years old
and a real veteran as pitchers go.
It was In 1915 that Adams took the
toboggan with the Pirates and was
labeled as through by the scribes. His
pitching fcr that year was more or less
OF a joke, for he won but two games
and succeeded In losing nine more be-
fore Barney Dreyfus made up his
mind to let his veteran star go.
In 1917 Adams drifted into the West
ern league. signed up with Jack Hol-
land at Hutchinson and staged a come
back that surprised everybody. He
won 20 games OF ball for the Hutchin-
son team and lost 13, and he was
rated as one of the hardest working
pitchers in the league, which has al.
ways been noted as league that har-
bors many a hard-hitting youngster,
and many a crafty old-timer who Is
ion his way back.
Adams record with the Hutchinson
club won him a trial with John CAMEL
lat Kansas City last season and during
the abbreviated pennant race In which
the Blues won the pennant Adams
captured IA games Of ball and lost but
three for the Kansas City club.
This feat won him his chance to try
a real comeback with the Pirates this
year and his boosters are predicting
that he will make good.
