Pitcher George Boehler is the mys
terry man of baseball.
The other day the wires carried the
report that the Pittburgs club of the
National League had turned him back
| to the Tulsa, Okla, team of the West
ern League.
Last fall the Pittsburgh club is
reputed to have paid $4,000 for
Boehler. Believing the addition of
some pitching strength would make
the Pirates pennant contender Own
err Dreyfuss grabbed Boehler as the
most promising minor league pros
pect
Boehler Is one of the freaks of
}maiors, had failed to deliver. In all
proba bility he is doomed to spend the
rest of his days as a minor league star.
Boehuer is one of the freaks" of
the game. In the minors he is sim
ply invincible. In the majors he
lacks a certain something that rem
ders his remarkable ability of little
or no use.
Lacks Confidence
Lack of confidence in his ability is
the real fault. In the bushes Boehler
regards the winning of a ball game
as a mere formally. AS result he is
hard to beat. In the big show he ap-
parently is constantly wondering how,
long he will last. He seldom finishes
a game.
Last season Boehler was the pitch
ing sensation of the minors. Work
ing for the Tulsa club of the West
ern League, he won 5S games and lost
only 10. His remarkable pitching was
largely responsible for Tulsa winning
the pennant. He officiated in 81 ball
games and saved many contest as a
relief pitcher of which the records
show nothing.
His strikeout record was phenome-
nal, 333 batters being retired in that
manner in the AL innings he worked.

The Easy Way.

When l was young and not so fat
I argued that the earth was fiat,
and talked long hours away; this
caused me many kinds of grief,
for in support of my belief I'd
scrap with any jay. Ben Bait, who
kept the village pound, insisted that
the earth was round, and SO we
wildly jawed; we'd argue till we
both were sick, and he called me a
lunatic, and / called him a fraud.
And now and then we came to
blows, and he would soak me in
the nose, and l would spoil his ear ;
and still, as by its maker planned,
in business at the same old stand.
rolled on this gorgeous sphere. Ben
Bait and l are old and bent and
now we do not care cent for things
that made us fuss; and if the earth
be round or fiat. or hollow as an
empty vat. it cuts no ice with us.
1t is bully good old earth and
we agree it's surely worth whatever
it has cost; and it is vain to waste
an hour in musty arguments and
sour that fret us and exhaust. When
our brief day is waxing late we see
the folly of debate. of fuss and
fret and fight, of argument that's
stale and bare, that never gets us
anywhere, or proves that we are
right.

F. E. MIDDLETON DIES
AFTER LONG ILLNESS
Was Great-Great- Grandson of First
Governor of Maryland as
American State.

Frank Eliot Middleton, a descend
ant of one of the oldest families Of
Washington, died Saturday afternoon
at his home. 351I Lowell street, after
an illness beginning about three
years ago. Mr.. Middleton, a great
great-grandSon of Thomas jefferson,
a friend of Wa ashington and first gov
ernor of Maryland as an American
state, was born August 10, 1S45, at
stood on an eminence overlooking the
present Connecticut avenue entrance
to the Geological Park. He was the
son Of Lemuel Middleton, who at that
time owned all the land extending
from Redwood to Rock creek. which
he sold shortly after the birth of the
child, because of the great difficulty
and sometimes danger of getting
down town for medical treatment.
Appointed Bank Teller in 1852.
Frank Z. Middleton received part
of his education in Boston, from
which city he returned to Washington
In 1852, when he was appointed pay
ing teller in the banking house of
Sweeney. Rittenhouse, Fowler & Co,
which position he resigned at the end
teller of the First National Bank of
Washington. After serving there
five years. Mr.. Middleton resigned to
enter the real estate business, and
later became financial agent for the
contractors in developing the city of
Washington during the regime of the
board of public works under Alex
ander K. Shepherd.
In 1870 Mr.. Middleton was married
tc Miss Ella Clark, also a native of
Washington, who survives him, with
three children. Frank Eliot, j. Clark
and Miss Sophie Middleton. The Eliot
name. which is continued in the pres
ent generation, was derived from Mr..
who was a cousin of Charles w. Eliot,
president emeritus of Harvard Uni
yerSity.
Birthplace Home of Noted Men.
Redwood the birthplace of Mr.. Mid
dletOn, was once the home of Jeffer
son Davis and was used AS a summer
residence by President Buchanan and
other noted men. In later years the
Middleton name became associated
with another spot of historic interest
when Mr.. Middleton purchased Wood
ley the beautiful mansion still
standing in Woodley road, which was
built by John Platter for Philip Barton
of Robert j. Walker, one-time Secre-
tary of the Treasury, and no less than
four Presidents have made it their
home-Van Buren,. Tyler, Buchanan
and Cleveland. George Washington
at one time inspected this property
and decided that the Capitol should
be built either on that site or upon
its present location, and Gen. Scott
once bought 1T as the site for the
Soldiers Home. MIR. Middleton also
built the mansion in the rear Of
"Woodley" known as Lone OAK"
where he lived during the Cleveland
occupancy. The Middletons were pio-
neers in the establishment of the
Episcopal Church at St Alban and,
indeed, the original congregation con-
sisted only of themselves, the Nourses
and the WeaverS, and 1t Is considered
peculiarly appropriate that arrange
'ments have been made to hold the fu :
neral services there.
