one OF the most valuable ball
players in the American League Is
Stanley Harris Of the Washington
club.
Harris is a modest young man
who doesn't sing his own praises. He
simply performs deeds
A great many players have broken
into print oftener than Harris. yet
few OF the younger players in the
American League have a brighter
future.
Stanley Harris Is unquestionably
the logical successor 70 Eddie Col
Inns as the premier sacker Of the
American League.
Harris is the winning type ball
player. He never quits. He Is con-
santly urging his teammates TO
greater efforts. He has great abil-
ity. He can think.
During a series at Washington
last summer. In which Chicago was
the contending team. IL was possible
to get a line on Collins and Harris.
In one Of the games OF the series,
these two great players turned in the
best bit Of second play l have seen
in years. Collins was at his best
that day. He made several plays
that only a quick thinking expert
enced player could put over.
The following day one OF the
Washington critics praised the work
Of both players highly. Collins was
given a slight edge simply on the
way he made a certain play and
succeeded. and Harris. making IN,
same play, failed.
This was the play. There was q
fast runner on first. The batter hi
a grounder to Collins. He got the
ball directly ahead OF the runner go
ing to second. He forced him bacl
in the direction Of first. then Gu
the ball to the first baseman, re
firing the batter.
The runner. caught between frs
, and second. Immediately dashed 70

the play as did Collins. but above

NEW TOY FINDS MUCH FAVOR
ParIsian Children Hall With Joy idea Which Has Been Imported
 From Central Borneo.

The latest toy which Parisian chill dren are buying, and which threatens to displace the scooter in popular fla vor, is a modern form of the old jumping stick
 The new dumping stick," which is called pogo" is more scientific than its predecessor, which was nothing more elaborate than single stilt with two rests for the feet.
 It is made with an india rubber pad and with a strong spring, which ena- bles it's pOssessOr to take a series of leaps without jar.
 The pogo was first found in use, in a primitive form, among the Dyak na- tives of central BOrneo, who gave 1t that name. It was a stick with a Cross-piece, on which certain favored young men used to perform a kind of dance at sacrifcial ceremonies.
 AS the chiefs took charge of the pOgOS after the ceremony, hiding them until the next occasion for their use, it was very difficult to obtain them, but a French traveller who saw the dance in progress, described them on his return to Paris. From his rough sketch the new Paris toy has been made.

FACTS OF HISTORIC INTEREST
Revealed by Extensive Excavations on Sites of Revolutionary Camps
 on the Hudson HeiqhtS.

Three years of excavating on sites of Revolutionary camps in the Hud- son highlands, near West Point, has enabled commission of the New York Historical society to establish inter- esting historical facts that have long been in dispute.
 The chief source of information has been refuse heaps of the armed camps of Washington, and many facts have been learned merely from ex- amining the buttons in the old dumps. Examination of cooking utensils and cutlery, broken pottery and other i'm perishable articles has aided the com mission. The buttons, still showing the insignia after a century and a half, show that ten Massachusetts regiments, five from Connecticut and one from Rhode Island, occupied the main fortress in the highlands. But tons worn in one camp by Connecticut soldiers bore an imprint in honor of the birth of the French dauphin, show ing that the soldiers were in camp after 1731.
 Similar investigation on the sites of British camps show their troops lived in much more luxury than the men who won independence for Amer ica. Silver buckles, china. and much broken glass from rum containers tell the story of the invaders ratiOns. The Revolutionary troops used hand-fOrged forks. pewter spoons, and left no bro ken glass.
 The excavations have also revealed the extent of certain Qualifications, and forts have been discovered of which there was no record.

THIS RIDE A REAL THRILLER
Ascent by Elevator to Summit of Alpine Peak Worth Going Long
 Journey to Take.

For years one of the most thrilling incidents of a visit to the Alps has been the ascent of the Jungfrau on the ccg-rail road that starts from Kletne Scheidegg, at an elevation of 6,711 feet and climbs the mountain side at the startling grade of 25 per cent, or an angle of about 2 degrees, till 1t reaches Jungfrauioch, at an ele- vation of 1889 feet.
 In an illustrated article in Popular Mechanics Magazine Is told how 1t iS now proposed to add to tliS wonderful experience in mountain climbing a still further thrill by comparison with which the former will appear quite inSipid. From the present end of the track the ;nOuntain scars another 2,2O6 feet to the summit at an elevation of 13,547 feet. By means of excavations and tunnels the track will be extended un- til it reaches a spot in the center of the cOnicaI summit directly below it's highest point. From the end of this tunnel a shaft will he bored vertically to the summit itself, and in this shaft passenger elevators will be installed, so that Alpine mountaineerE will end their long thrilling railroad climb with an elevator trip like an exaggerated ride to the top of the WOolwOrth building in New York city. The climax will find them landed at the extreme summit of one of the highest peaks In the Alps, with a view of a world of snow-clad, craggy mountain tops around them.
