A New Tork patriot has Issued a pamphlet that we should speak American, a greater name for the greatest language. What’s the matter with talking United States? A hobo is reported to demand of Los Angeles jailors that he be permitted to take four baths a day. Possibly he is working for a permanent berth in an Insane asylum.

One pleasant thing about a cold Is the large variety of delightful cures it brings to one’B attention, and the patient can generally try them all before the cold gets tired and quits. The common notion that talk Is cheap will have to give way before the figures of the Bell telephone system, which announce gross receipts of $199,200,000 for a single year. An eastern divine remarks that the world is growing better day by day. How about the nights? It is quite indicative that when a girl speaks of her corsetier that her father makes at least $5,000 per annum, and also when she speaks of her Parisienne corsetiere, daddy has got another raise.

VETERANS OF THE BASEBALL DIAMOND

One interesting point in connectidn with the career of Hans Wagner of the Pittsburg club was not brought out recently when he signed his Pirate contract for 1913. The “Flying Dutchman” is the oldest player in the National league in point of continuous service. There are one or two players in the organization who are a bit older in years than Honus, but there is none who has graced the big show as long without a break as has he. Wagner signed with the old Louisville club on July 19, 1897. The only other player still in active service who broke in the same year as' Wagner is Jimmie Sheckard of the Chicago Cubs, who signed his first National league contract on September 14, 1897. Neither of these players has been out of fast company since, but Wagner’s record for the long period is much better than Sheckard’s. Wagner was secured' by Louisville from Paterson, N. J. Sheckard broke into baseball at Portsmouth, Va., in 1896. The next year he was with Brockton in the New England league, from which club he went to Brooklyn.

PRAISE FOR OSCAR STANAGE

Californian Is Considered by Manager Jennings as Wonderful Catcher —Also Hard Hitter. Tiger pitchers have pitched not alone good but in several instances phenomenal bajl against the eastern clubs. There are performances by Mullin, Summers, Donovan and Lafltte that stand out as accomplishments in pitching above the ordinary. Due credit is given these pitchers for masterly performances, but in this case, as in others, there is a “man behind,” and in this particular case the man behind is Oscar Stanage, the Californian, who receives the shoots, curves, fast balls, spitters and slow ones of the Tiger hurlers. Hughie Jennings has always insisted that Stanage is a wonderful catch-

er. Hughie said that & few years ago. | Since the present season opened many I have been heard to agree with Hugh .Ambrose. Cool-headed, quick-thinking, StrongArmed Oscar, the boy with the broad shoulders and massive muscle development, who “can throw the ball like a shot and hit It a mile,” is the man 40 whom much of the credit for tbs

Jimmie Sheckard of Chicago Cubs.

In 1897 he did not play enough in the big league to get a batting or fielding average. Since then he has been with Baltimore, Brooklyn and Chicago, going to the Cubs iu the spring of 1906. There are two playerß in the American league Who have been playing in fast company longer than either Wagner or Sheckard. They are Lajoie of the Naps and Bobby Wallace of the Browns. Lajoie broke in with the Philadelphia Nationals in 1896, taking part in 39 games that season, after having played 80 games with Fall River in the New England league, where he was a center fielder. He remained with the Phillies until 1901, when he jumped to the American league. The following year he joined Cleveland, and has been there continuously since. Bobby Wallace played his first major league ball at Cleveland in the old National league in 1895. He was In the Forest City until 1899, when he went to the St. Louis Nationals. In 1902 he appeared first in the American league, and has been with the Browns ever since.

Frank Chance says that Sweeney is the best backstop in baseball. It is rumored that Hank O’Day will act as scout for the Cubs this year. A 1 Schultz, the Hlghlandera’ recruit southpaw, hae made a hit with Manager Chance. Cy Dahlgren, the Reds’ new pitcher, has won 77 games and loßt ten in the laßt three years. Now Manager Griffith is trying to make a second sacker out of Howard Shanks, his outfielder. , The new pitching things are beginning to come In: Eddie Plank has perfected a parcel post delivery. Manager McGraw has pledged himself to follow a hands-off policy In regard to umpires again this year. Ray Chapman is being groomed as the sensation of the American league shortstops for the coming campaign. Hans Wagner says there is no truth in the yarn that he Is going to dye his hair black, to conceal his gray hairs. Manager Cornelius Mack has three good men on his team fighting for the infield utility Job. They are Orr, and Flick.

success of Detroit’s pitching staff isl due. Quick to outguess a batter, sure in receiving, accurate in throwing, and the best judge of hit and run and base-stealing intention in the world, Stanage stands supreme today in the American league as a backstop. Stanage rarely asks for a pitch-out He does not ask his pitchers to make a wide pitch so that he can get a man stealing. When Stanage asks for a wide pitch chances are four out of five that the runners for whose benefit, or rather detriment, the wide pitch is ordered will try to advance.

Temptation.

Representative Solomon Francis Prouty of the Seventh district of Illinois is the only man in th§ house of representatives who chews gum, and he chews it with a remarkable avidity. He took the gum habit after a conference of lowa physicians had warned him that he must either stop smoking or fill a grave. They suggested chewing gum as a substitute for my Lady Nicotine. The only time he has smoked in ten years was on a hot day last summer while'out campaigning. He stopped to talk with an old farmer who was puffing at a corncob pipe. The smoke got into Representative Prouty’s nose, and as soon as he reached town he rushbd into his office, gnabbed his secretary by the arm, and almost shouted: “For goodness sake dig out that pipe of yours and give me a puff! Lock the doors and keep every man out who looks like a doctor. I’ve got to smoke or bust!” —Washington Star.

Going Too Far.

Mrs. Gallup is an estimable lady whose hobby is house decoration. One day last spring Mrs. Gallup was careless enough to drink a, glass of red ink, believing it to be claret. She was naturally alarmed when She dlscdvered her mistake, but no harm came to her. The doctor who was summoned, upon hearing what had happened, dryly remarked to her: "Mrs. Gallup, there is such a thing, you know, as pushing this rage for decorated interiors too far.” Some spinsters are so timid that they would jump at a. proposal.

HARD TO SECURE SOUTHPAWS

Eddie Piank of Athletic* and Nap Rucker of Brooklyn Dodgers In Class by Themselves, Winning left hand pitchers are exceedingly scarce in the big leagues. Among all the southpaws Eddie Plank and Napoleon Rucker stand In a class by themselves. Of the younger generation Yean Gregg in the American and Rube Marquard In the National are bidding for fame. Plank has lost few games for Philadelphia, rated one of the beet rounded clubs In basebalL If Rucker were a member of the Giants, Red Sox or the Pirates, it Is believed he would drop few contests. Despite the flight of the seasons, since he, broke into the big show. Plank is still an effective hurier, with his wonderful cross fire delivery. Rucker has the speed, curves, control and the brain to make a great pitcher, and despite the fact that he is with a constant contender for the cellar title in the National league, every dub has trouble beating the Brooklyn pitching wizards There are a few other left hand pitchers who cut more or less of a niche in the nation’s pastime, but Rucker easily tops the list, with Rube Marquard meandering along behind. a Good left-handers in the American league are scarcer than in the National. Besides Doc White, who has grown old in the service of Comiskey, Plank remains the only veteran of prominence who refuses to tpke the full count He is the only southpaw on the Athletics who was with that team in 1911. - Krause and Russell were turned back to the minors. The Boston Red Sox have Ray Collins, but it will take another year to determine whether he will deserve a place in the hall of fame among the great left hand pitchers -of baseball history. Collins stands alone among a cluster of strong right handers on the new world’s champions, Wood, pall, Bedient and O’Brien all being right-handers. Of the first division clubs in the American league, Plank alone remains one of the great pitchers of the game. The Boston Red Sox, Chicago White Sox and Washington Senators have only four port siders, who can be considered regulars. Since these teams combined have nearly thirty twirlers, one may form an idea of the actual scarcity of good southpaws in the big circuits.

CHESBRO STILL HOLDS MARK

Record of Total Games Won During Entire Season Yet Unsurpassed by Star Slabman. Messrs. Marquard, Johnson find Wood achieved more than passing fame last summer by compiling record consecutive victories. Marquard tied Keefe’s record of 19 straight and set a modern mark Unparalleled. Johnson and Wood cracked the A. L. pitching mark by two games, with*, 16 unbroken victories established. That is all well enough and worthy of the extended salary offered. But in the matter of modem records Jack Chesbro still holds the

Jack Chesbro.

mark worth shooting at—the mark much above any matter of consecutive wins. Cheshro, In 1904, won 43 games, Ed Walsh came closest to this compilation in 1908 with 40 victories. Wood labt season wjls nine victories below Chesbro’s figures. Johnson waß 11 below and Marquard, despite the feat of winning the first 19 games he pitched, was 17 games back of the Chesbronian total. If the Rube had won every battle in which he worked the best he could have done would have been to tie the 43 victories. Straight win records frame ornamental pieces of pitching bric-a-brac. But the standard is to be figured upon the year’s total. Marquard drew the headline and the action photos for his 1912 performance, but Chesbro in 1904 was 17 victories more valuable to Griffith than the Rube eight years later was to McGraw.

Novelty In Brooklyn Stadlum.

One of the novel features in the new baseball stadium at Brooklyn will be an umbrella room. President Ebbets will provide several thousand umbrellas to be used by patrons of the games on rainy days. Ebbets says he Is willing to try the experiment if only to learn how many persons will forget to bring the umbrellas back.
