Mark Of Brlliancy.

The legend that Meredith lived on
the contents or sack Of oatmeal while
he wrote his masterpieces is pure
myth, writes st. John Ervine in the
Manchester (Eng) Guardian. He was
particularly addicted TO the pleasures
OF the table and could not have writ
ten his books on diet of oatmeal. His
letters are full of references to food
and wine and, like Doctor johnson, he
contemplated writing a cookery book.
He had the capacity, which every man
OF genius has, of being highly interest
ed in the most ordinary things.
1t is your thirdrate person who is
not interested in food and drink and
the common things OF life. Your man
of genius demands that these things
shall be 50 attended to that he can
appreciate them at their best. More

necessary TO all of us. he wishes them

Herbert Spencer complained of the
stupid spouts that manufacturers put
on jugs--so that 1t is impossible TO
pour liquid out of them without spill
ing it-and he went TO the trouble to
invent a paper fastener because he
was dissatisfied with those in common
use. A thrd-rate person would have
been much too superior to think of
such things.

Rock Springs.
Starting from New FORK at midnight.
July is, the Overland Economy car has
so far travelled 1892 miles at the rate
of 81 miles an hour. The remarkable
feature of the run is that despite the
conditions of the roads and the variety
of driving by different men. the Over
land in its dash westward has so far
averaged Is miles to the gallon of gas.
How much gas will the car use on its
$500 mile trip? The entire automobile
public is interested in that question in
view of the absence of IA reasonable
standard of economy and stamina per-

standard for the ordinary auto owners

Cheyenne from various sections of the
state hat roads throughout Wyom-

RED SOX AGREE ON BRENNAN so
 SERIES IS ON

Dallas, Texas, March ;24.---Manager Ed Barrow of the Red Sox said last night that he would raise no objection to Bill Brennan confirming to oficiate IS umpire in the GiantIRed Sox se- ,ies. He said he had wired to Ban Johnson asking that an American League umpire be sent down here to work in this series, but he did not know whether one was available. At any rate, he will not now insist thai Brennan be dropped.
 The situation anent the Innpires in the series was becoming awkward Monday at Wichita Falls, Barrow de clared that John McGraw had dis avowed an agreement to Gus Rooney. a Boston newspaper man, to work on the bases with Bill Brennan behind the bat, and that, in retaliation, he must refuse to permit Brennan to continue. Yesterday, McGraw returning from
 a visit to the Young county oil fields, asserted that he had never agreed, to stand for Rooney until such time as Klem could be obtained, and repeated that Gus was through as an umpire in this series. FI just said that I was satisfied to have Rooney work in the game at Fort Worth,'' he said. SfHe is through but Brennan isn't. I engaged Bren- nan and III stick to him. If Barrow wants to get an American League
 umpire down here I'm satisfied, but ] that doesn't mean that Brennan will be tossed out. If Barrow doesn't want | to play any more games I will not worry greatly. The series doesn't mean as much to us as it does to the Red Sox.''
 McGraw and Barrow have not seen
 each other since Sunday afternoon and
 may not meet in Austin today, as Me | Graw will go straight through to San
 Antonio if he can make railroad con
 nections. He is desirous of getting
 back to the training camp site in order
 to attend to the matter of placing the young players he will send out to the | minors.

INTERESTING SPORT NEWS OF INTEREST TO ALL
HARTFORD GETS
 CHASER, CRACK
 DETROIT ROOKIE

Manager Howley of Hartford claims to have landed a good pitcher for his Eastern League club in Glasier, who has been offered to him by the De- troit Tigers. With the veteran George Pennington and Glasier, the Hartford manager thinks he has the nucleus of a good staff.
 The great record Glasier compiled in the Michigan-On League last season is sufficient to satisfy any anx- ious baseball fan that he should be a big noise on the mound for the Senators the coming season. Of the big consignment of pitchers the min or leagues shipped to the majors the past season, G1asier's record, stands out as the best. With the exception of Bill Piercey who toi1ed out on the Pacific Coast last season, and is now the property of the New York Yan- kees, refusing to report, Glazier turned in more victories than any other min or leaguea pitcher in the country
 His victories last leason numbered 25 against ten defeats. At that his record eclipses~ Piercey's who turned in tWenty-siX triunphs- It must be con- sidered that out on the Coast the sea- son extends over a span of seven months whereas the Michigan-On- tario league plays about 140 games This gave Piercey an opportunity to work in more games and as a result he is charged with eighteen defeats
