INSIDE BASEBALL
Winning in the Morning the Game of
the Afternoon
j In the "American Magazine" Eddie:
Collins, second baseman for the Phila I
i adelphia Athletics, writes a baseball ar !
| tide entitled, "Connie Mack and His 1
Mac km en, in which he describes inti \
mately the wonderful Philadelphia
baseball manager. Collins is the man .
whom Johnny McGraw. of the New
iork Giants, calls the greatest base
ball player in tbe world. Following is 1
j an extract from tbe article:
"Every morning at 10 we gather in ;
| the club house. If the team is on the
road, we meet in Connie's room in tho
hotel. We are never in session less
| than ten minutes or rarely more than
i halt' an hour. But in that time the
game to be played that afternoon is i
J sometimes won.
"Every point of the defensive and!
offensive strength of the opposing team ;
jis discussed. Mack will mention the
ipiti-iier that our opponents will prob
ably use and instantly a scheme of at
tack is devised. This attack varies as
!we meet different pitchers. Alawys in
: those morning meetings Mack goes over
I the entire situation —plans the battle."
Can You Match. Her?
"It was Charlie Spink whom Mabel
said she'd marry if he went to war,
wasn't itf"
" Yes."
"Did he agree!"
"Oh, yes He said he'd prove he
was a hero- at any cost."
"Was Mabel surprised!"
'Very much so. She was sorry,
| too."
"What did she dot"
"She wrote Charlie a nice note, sav
| ing that she didn t want him to go to
war, and she regretted she had asked
~ him to make such a sacrifice, because.
' auvway, she had just made np her
ij mind to marry Tommy Green.''—Cleve

AMERICANS ORGANIZE FOR i
THE RELIEF OF BELCIUIR IN
FOOD CRISIS NOW FENDING
Loudon, V>ct. 22, 11.25 P. M. (De
layed in Transmission!.- -The orguniza
tion ot' the American commission for
the relief of Belgium was completed at
the American embassy to-night. Cap
tain T. P. Lucey and Millard K. Shaler
will leave to-morrow for Brussels, where
thev will take a census of those in i
need.
The Spanish Ambassador at London
and the Spanish Miuister to Brussels
have been added to the commission and
their nationals will assist iu the work.
The operations of the committee in the
food market have disclosed that, owing
to the desire of the British govern
ment that the stock of food iu these
islands should-not be depleted by ex
port and to the restrictions placed upon
such exports, it is extremely difficult
to find even emergency provisions in
Kngland, and the receipt of such sup- I
plies from across the Atlantic become!
more imperative, it is said, than was |
j originally anticipated.
I u Charleroi the food supply is ex ;
hgusted and tho population is subsist
ing on potato soup. A representative
ot' tho local relief committee of Liege
who reached I#oudou to-day reported
that the people ire becoming restive
over the non-arrival of supplies. He
said it was practically impossible to ob
tain any food supplies in Holland and
that, unless supplies from America
were sent quickly, .conditions in Bel
gium would become desperate.

FRENCH AMATEUR AVIATOR
WAS MORTALLY WOUNDED
Paris, Oct. '.'3, 2.10 A. M.—France {
has lost on the battle field one of licr;
best knowu amateur aviators. Dr. Kmile !
Revmond, president ot' the National
Aviation Commission and a member of j
the French Senate. Ttie Havas Agency j
gives the following account of his!
death:
'"There had been a very violent
combat in the region ot' Verdun follow
ing an attack by the French to rescue \
one of their aviators. Senator Kmile
| Reymond, who ivn< wounded while 1
reconnoitering anil fell between the
lines. The aviator was finally rescued
and when brought back to the ambu
lance was able to give a full and clear
report of his observations. Afterward
he was decorated with the insignia of
the Legion of Honor by the general in i
command in the presence of Minister
of Justice Briand. Then he died.
"When learned of the death of the
aviator President Poincare sent a
touching telegram of condolence to his
widow, saying the death of Senator
Reymond would prove a cruel blow to
all his friends, but that his magnificent
example of courage was an honor to the
French parliament."
FRENCH CRUISER DAMAGED
IN STRIKING SPANISH SHIF
New York. Oct. 23.—Officers of the
Spanish steamer Telesfora, which ar
rived here to-day from Buenos Aires
j reported that the' steamer was in colli
i sion with the French cruiser Descartes
j in the harbor of Castries, St. Lucia,
I on October o. The cruiser was badly
damaged, according to the Telesfora's
I officers, and had to be taken to Mar
] tinique for repairs.
The collision occurred as the Teles
fora was entering the harbor, her offic
ers said. They did not see the Des
cartes till the cruiser was a short dis
tance dead ahead. Immediately, the
steamers engines were reversed and she
l let drop her anchor. Her momentum,
however, was too great and sJic crash
ed at high speed full into the warship.
A boat was lowered from the cruiser
and two of her officers boarded the
; steamer. They were very angry; the
Telesfora's captain feared they would
beat him.
After a long and bitter wrangle the
officers went away and the Telesfora
was made to give a bond to make good
j the cruiser's repairs before the steam
er was permitted to continue on her
| trip to Boston and New York.
Injuries to the steamer were found
j to be insignificant, her officers said, but
; the cruiser was badly hurt and was
| leaking. She was taken to Martini
! que. The Telesfora is of approximately
2,70 ft tons.
SIBILANTS AND SONG
A Combination That Does Not Produce
Satisfactory Results
, "Writing verses for the printed page
and writing "words' to be set to music
and sung,'' remarked a gentleman who
j has won laurels in both departments
of industry, ""are two very different
matters. You can take liberties in the
first case which you cannot in the case
of "lyrics,' as with these you have
to consider the 'singableness' of the
words used.
"To avoid sibilants like a pestilence
i and to use open vowels such as A and
' O wherever possible are the two gold
len rules. English has been called an
; unsingable language, and certainly
Italian and French are more liquid
and easier to vocalize in. Open vow
els are very important. Compare, for
instance, the word 'thee,' which is
breathed out between the teeth, with
its plural 'you,' which enables the
singer to open the mouth widely. The
relative singableness is apparent at
once.
"An eicessive use of sibilants pro
duces a ludicrous hissing sound. (Read
the last sentence aloud, and note the
effect.) Nevertheless a well known
dramatist was once careless enough
to give an actor a speech in which he
described 'Dick sitting still as a stone
and steering the horse splendidly.' "
London Answers.
A Chicago man left home because
his wife play"ed irritating records on
the phonograph. But perhaps his own
record was none too good.
When moved to tell your troubles to
the world remember how you felt the
last time you had to do the listening.

FEATS WITH THE CAMERA
Difficult to Snap Fast Moving Objects
at a Given Point
(•n!y an expert, nnd he only after
much practice, can lake a photograph j 1
of a rapidly moving object at a pre- j
determined point lor example, an ex
i press u.iin with the cowcatcher just j
at a white chalk mark on a tie or
a baseball at the instant the bat
strikes it.
The reason for this is two-fold:
hirst. there is a certain appreciable time
between the mental decision to do a i
thing and the actual doing of it; sec- j
ond. it takes a certain appreciable time 1
for the impulse given by pressing the
button or squeezing the bulb of n j
camera to travel to the shutter and
open it. The latter may in a very tine '
camera be only one-tiftieth of a sec- i
ond, but even the fiftieth of a second j
in a train going 100 feet a second I
would mean a difference of two feet.
I . 11. Claudy in an article in the |
"Camera" says that not more than once I
in tour attempts will even an expert 1
catch the precise instant he is seeking, j
The average man snaps his camera at i
the moment the ball is striking the
club or racquet, and by the time his 1
shutter lias worked the ball has gone. '
A tennis ball traverses nearly a mile a ]
minute when struck hard. That is
ninety-six feet a second, so in a lag of
one-tenth of a second between the
pressing of the button and the opening
of the shutter the ball will move nearly
ten feet, and ordinary cameras work no
faster than this. So one need not won
der if the expert fails.
Origin of the Word "Mustard"
Our English word "mustard - ' is!
traceable to the French "moiißtarde," I
the origin of which is curiously given, j
In 1352 Philip the Bold, duke of Bur-j
gundy, granted to the town of Dijon
frhe privilege of bearing his armorial
ensigns, with the motto '"Moult me
tarde" ("I wish ardently"), in return
for a handsome contingent of a thou
sand men furnished to him at its ex
pense. I'lea-sed with the royal con- i
descension, the authorities ordered the j
device to be affixed over the principal I
gates of the city. Time or accident at |
length obliterated the middle word, and .
the two remaining, moult tarde, were j
printed on the labels which the mer
chants of Dijon pasted on pots in which I
they sent this commodity all over the I
world. j
When Seals Were Food
The gray seal used to serve Cornish
men as an article of diet. Stephen
Hawker tells how he and a brother
clergyman, having asked a landlady at
Boscastle what she could give them
for dinner, were told "Meat and taties."
They tried to get her to particularize
the meat, but "Meat, nice, wholesome
meat, and taties." was the full extent
of her information. When the meat
was served it tasted like veal, but was
unaccompanied by any vestige of bone
that might have enabled the diners to
infer its origin. Years afterward Haw
i ker lighted on the nature of the "meat"
when he read in an old hißtorv of Corn
i wall that "the people of Boscastle do
catch divers young soyles. which,
doubtful if they lie fish or flesh,
conynge housewives will nevertheless
roast and do make thereof savory
meat."—lxndon Globe.
"How fast can an aeroplane travel?"
| asked the old fogy.

BIRDS AND BRAINS
The Canary Well Supplied, While the
Poor Hen Is Sadly lacking
Naturalists have arrived at the con*
[ elusion that the brain in birds is large
in proportion to the body. If it is ad
mitted that intelligence depends upon
the weight of the brain then the gold
finch must be placed at the top of the
list of birds. The brain weighs one
fourteenth of its whole body.
It must be remembered, however,
that attempts to draw conclusions as
to the intelligence of certain birds from
a comparison of the weight of the
brain with that of the body have been
considered futile.
In man the brain forms from one
twenty-second to one-thirty-third of the
whole body; in the canary, one-four
teenth; the sparrow, one-twenty-fifth;
the chaffinch, one-twentv-seventh; the
redbreast, one-thirty-seeond; the black
bird, one-sixty-eighth; the duck, one
two-hundred-and-fifty-seventh ;the ea
gle, one-two-hundred-and-sixtieth; the
goose, one-threehundred-and-sixtieth;
the domestic hen, one-four-hundred
and-twelfth.
By some the preternaturally cunning
raven is supposed to be the most high
ly developed of birds. His courage is
so great that the eagle respects it, and
his intelligence prevents him from get
ting into unseen though suspected (ran
gers.—London Spectator.
How the fly would welcome a chance
to mediate this swatting business.
