when the American League made III
New York debut.
Some difference between the two
openings" remarked Connolly as he
surveyed the crowd of 74,217g people
the biggest crowd that ever attended
a ball game.
Twenty years ago a crowd of
about $4,000 people packed the small
stands of the old New York Amer
lean league park. 1t was regarded as
a gala event.
''In those days the Giants had a
monopoly on the baseball situation in
New York. AS a matter of fact in
an effort to keep the American
league out of the big city. the Ma
tional League club had an option on
practically every site available for a
ball park.
1.-THE Americn League park in
those days was built on practically
q foundation of stone. often the
light layer OF soil that covered the
infield would wear through and dis
close the rock base.
Never did / think I would UNI
pire before $4,000 people. The crowd
at the opening game is certainly a
great tribute to the fondness of the
American public for the national pas
time"

dead MAN ON trial
GUILTY OF suicide
Ancient New Orleans Law Is
Now Invoked

New Orleans, May IL - Even
though the present day American is
so surrounded by laws that he has to
watch his step at every turn. he is
not so badly off after all. In 1898 a
person in New Orleans could not even
commit suicide and go unpublished.
Some one having asserted that the
sixty seventh congress, recently ad-
iourned. enacted 931 new laws, and
with many state legislative bodies

list of statutes inquiring persons here

New Orleans to ascertain how the

been meted out the record further
states that IAN old gray cat was hung
around the neck" of the culprit.
And finery for the women played its
part then, as now, for one document
refers to the purchase by a father of
'seemly clothes for his Is year old
daughter. The parallel of the cloth
ing problem then with that of the
present day continues in this case, for.
it seems, the purchase consisted Of
feathers and thread stockings" The
finery got into the records because
the father went into debt for them.

Invention.

London. May 11.-An improvement
of at least 10 per cent in the lifting
efficiency of aeroplane wings is ex-

which has been patented by young
ex-officer of the flying corps.
lie claims TO have discovered the
method by which crows and other
birds glide at fine angles, and ex-
periments which have been made
with gliding models suggest that the
wing tip feathers are not merely for
balancing purposes but contribute
largely to the lifting capacity.

Spe a kin g
of Sports

The kind of show a fisherman
has often depends upon his cast.
Waving on Stuffy McInnis ma,
cost the st. Louis Browns the pen
nant.
When the Cleveland club inaugu-
rated the policy of rebuilding its team
McInnis, veteran player, did not fit
in. Incidentally, McInnis was draw
ing $4,000 year for his services.
Having SO decided, the Cleveland
club asked the seven other clubs of
the American league if any of them
desired to take McInnis at the waiver
price and assume his contract
Although McInnis is slipping. he Is
still great player and has two or
three more years of good service
ahead. Despite this, every club in
the American league passed up the
chance to get him. Possibly his fat
contract had something to do with
it. Be it known that after he was
made a free agent several American
league clubs tried to sign him up at
a much lower salary.
st. Louis was the club that should
have tied him up. 1t was a ques-
ton at the time whether or not Sisler
would be right. In order to be pro-
tected against the possibility that he
might not play the Browns should
have taken on McInnis.
Instead he was allowed to pass out
Illness now has Ssler out of the line
up and the Browns are experimenting
with an outtielder at first base.
Waving on McInnis seems to have
been a costly slip OH the part of the
Browns management.
