BIZ Times Special
TOLEDO, May 30.-Indians and
Hens were to wind up their short
series here today with double
header and on Saturday the teams
will go to indianapolis to resume &C
ton in another three-game set.
Mike Cyengros was slated to hurl
one Of the contests for the Corriden-
ties today, but the Tribe pilot was
in doubt about his other finger
for this afternoon.
The BOOSTERS made their first
appearance of the season here
Thursday and got badly bumped,
the Hens scoring a to 0 shutout.
Claude Jonnard was wild and his
team failed to hit when safeties
meant runs. He dropped out for a
pinch hitter in the seventh and
Walter Wolf finished in good form.
Pitcher Injured
McQuillan, Hen starting hurler,
was injured in the second inning
and compelled to retire from action.
A hot smash off the bat of Howard
Freigau struck the pitcher on the
gloved hand and caused a bad
bruise. Rabb went to the rescue
and turned in fine brand of hurl-
ing the remainder of the afternoon.
Jonnard was solved for six hits in
six innings and issued six passes.
Wolf was a puzzle the two stanzas
he operated. Toledo made it's half
dozen hits count by rapping the
sphere in the pinches. Clarence
Hoffman got two of the Tribe hits.
Swanson of the Hens doubled with
the bases filled in the third to score
two mates.
Fire and Hire
The Indians dismissed one player
Thursday and hired another. Carl
Boone, pitcher, was released outright
to Quincy and outf1elder Dorman
was purchased from Cleveland.
Dorman has been playing with
Kansasa City. He was tSlere on trial.
Dorman was with New Orleans last
year, where he batted 301. He hits
right-handed.
Johnny Corirden's men failed him
at bat the past two days, scoring
only one run in eighteen innings
They lost at Columbus, Wednesday
Is to 1, and then drew blank here
Thursday.

him a half on the first extra hola.

WINTERTIME
By d. G. PEATTM.

When I was a child, my school
teachers encouraged us to find the first
robin and proclaim thereby the COM
ing OF Spring. Now every one knows
that neither one robin nor 20 robins
can make Spring come.
We ought to remember, If we don't,
that the first robin has not arrived,
a joyful harbinger out of the South.
He was probably here all the time.
Many species OF birds, like the bluehird
and robin, never completely leave us,
Winter through, and so to be the pro-
verbal early bird, not to say birdy-on-
the-spQt.
In the month of February the only
bird that arrives from the South is
the red-winged blackbird, except the
woodcock, which is not known to one
person in 10000 and Is as scarce as red
winged blackbirds are common.
The grackles, which begin in groves,
even while the snow Is on the ground
to wheedle and congregate, and war and
gyrate IN silly fashion, did undoubt-
eddy make their way here from a little
farther South-the latitude perhaps of
Norfolk. But there is nothing spec
tacular in that, and, for all their talk,
they are deceitful birds. They seem
to be promising Spring when they
whistle two pretty notes. But on the
third note their voices suddenly crackle
(or grackle) and remind one that Win
ter may yet turn back upon her traces
and give us an ugly lash with her SHOWS.
Now, in little groups, the Winter birds
make ready to alphabetically any
of the Arctic owls, the longspurs and
horned larkS, the snowfiakes and some
of the Northern gulls.

His remark delighted the Queen. Her
Now at last, Mr.. Ambassador, I
know why cur court conversations have
been so stupid"
Incidents like this made Moore a
prime favorite not only with Spanish
royalty, but with every one in the gov
eminent with whom he had any deal
ings. His lack Of pretense, his ready
wit and his sagacity won for him sue
cess IN diplomacy almost without par
One hot Summer day he was called
from his villa at San Sebastian to Ma
drtd on business. He left in such haste
that his valet neglected to put dress
clothes in his bag. In Madrid he found
1t necessary to see King Alfonso.
He set out for the palace in bust
fed that he should want to see the King
so attired. Moore was told that an au-
dience under the circumstances was i'm
possible.
"Yeu tell his majesty that am here, /"
he said, how am dressed, If you
want to. assume all responsibility.
King Alfonso received him. After
their business was concluded Moore
alluded to the incident with the major
domo and requested the King to put all
blame on him.
The King laughed heartily, and told
the Ambassador:
you see, that's all he has to do. If
1t were net for incidents like this he
would have no job"
Never was an American Ambassador
more popular In Spain. And while much
had been said about how familiar he
was with the King, he was never too
familiar. The tive were friendly, but
with dignity.
He was genial with every one. Villa
Arbaisenea, his Summer home at San
Sebastian, was open to all. So was the
embassy at Madrid. His greeting to
friends he would meet in Paris was:
Come down to Madrid. We have
there an American open house"
His parties were famous. He thought
nothing of sending all the way to Paris
Ter an orchestra to furnish music for
his guests.
