Story Circulated In Cleveland That Second Baseman of Detroit Tigers Took Examination for Job on Police Force. Jim Delehanty, veteran baseball |>iayer and second baseman of the Detroit Tigers, may quit the game after more than a decade of strenuous work on the diamond with various teams to become a policeman at Cleveland, says a special dispatch to the Chicago News. It was announced that Delehanty had taken the exam ination and had won sixth place on the eligibility list. There are 100 men on the elegible list. Delehanty walked off with great honors in the physical examination at the Orange avenue bath house and in the mental examination his showing ■was also far above the average. Delehanty lives at 31908 Superior avenue, Cleveland, and la a member of the Detroit baseball team. He has beeu a member of that team for three years and prior to that time he was a Washington player. The intimation that Delehanty is "all in" recalls the record he made In a game with the Philadelphia Ath letics last fall when his terrific bat ting was the feature. It Is as follows: His first time up saw Del hit the ball at a mile-a-minule gait to left field. In the fourth inning he hit a terrific grass-cutter to Baker. The lat ter just barely fielded the ball, and ■when he made a belated throw to first Del scrambled to second. In the fifth inning Del poked a clean hit to center field. It was in the seventh inning when Delehanty pulled off Ills greatest hit. This was a line drive to deep right, and •although Murphy fielded the ball in a hurry, the pill was hit so hard that Jim Delehanty. Delehanty had little trouble making the circuit of the bases. Del had con tributed his share all right, but he in sisted on "butting in"on the fracas in the glorious eighth. In this inning he took a healthy swing on one of Plank's curves and this time tripled to right field. If Del had hurried on this clout the chanoes are that he would have •tretched It into a home run.

NATIONAL LEAGUE SCHEDULE, 1912 CLEVELAND'S FAMOUS SECOND BASEMAN Napoleon Lajole as Pictured by Cesare. By HOMER CROY. Whatever Khode Island Is or hopes to be she owes to Senator Aldrlch and Napoleon Lajoie. She wouldn't be on the map today, but would be found with a star in a footnote at the bottom of the page if It were not for Napoleon I.ajoie, assisted by Mr. Aldrich. If Napoleon Lajole had not hustled onto the scene in September, 1875, Nelson A. would have had too much on his hands and she would have slipped off into the Atlantic ocean of obscurity. With discrimin ating eye Napoleon selected Woon socket, where his father had brought the name down from French Can ada, for a birthplace. Dajole is pronounced In more dif ferent ways than any other name in the majors. In talking about the Clevelands the fans usually start in with Laj—and then suddenly have their attention attracted by a dou ble and continue after it's all over with "He and our Napoleon—." In the west it is pronounced L.az—and finished by coughing and kicking a hole in the ground, while in the spec tacled east it Is put over with a con centric twist of the lips and with an underhand fadeaway of the tongue. According to Napoleon it can be done by running the scales a few times and with some finger practice by go ing at It thus—Lazh-u-way. In early life Napoleon's dreams were of being a cabby and wearing a real top hat and brass buttons with scroll work on them; he cared not for the busy marts of men or for be ing the tiger tamer in the gilded cage, but onward, upward did he struggle and strive, climbing for the heights while his careless and uncaring com panions slept, until one fair day his I GOSSIP Y | TyiMQAG I I I SPORTS!

Oth er boys who had grown up with him In Woonsocket could hardly believe that fame had snatched him from their midst and placed on his brow Its jew eled diadem —the top hat. Although now of another world Na poleon condescended to come back to their locals now and then for a game of ball, while Dobbin munched his oats under the grandstand, until the Fall River club of the New Eng land league persuaded him to ride on Its second sack. From there the Nifty Nap drove onto the Phillies, thence onto his present address. He spends his winters on his farm ten miles north of Cleveland where his hobby is raising dogs. He has so many dogs that he cuts their meat by footpower, and when the moon is full farmers in the next county have to sleep with their windows down. Napoleon Is the most graceful man In any park in the United States. He has a mimeographed letter he sends back in answer to notes from sighing girls. Although tall and heavily built each motion is BO polished that you can almost hear him sketching in charcoal and pronouncing vase— vaws. Every time the Apollo of the parks raises his hand It's a picture; every time he clouts a single the soft purr of girls' lead pencils can be heard all over the bleachers, and every time he stumbles and skids on his ear he does It so gracefully that the ladies in the grandstands bruise their gloves.

Four graduate nurses have been secured from Philadelphia. They itre Miss Bessie Moyer, Blockley; Miss Holben, St. Agnes'; Miss McLaughlin, ' University of Pennsylvania; Miss Turner, Hahnemann. Crowd Hides All Night. Werley's Corners. —While the object of their fear lay dead outside, his head blown off, a crowd that filled the bar room of the hotel at Wesley's Corners barricaded itself in a room upstairs, all night, fearful lest William Werley should come back and shoot somebody besides his employer, George Balliet. To secure surgical aid for Balliet, who was seriously shot in the left side of the neck, they yelled through a win dow to a neighbor, who summoned Dr. Kriebel from Lynnvillo. In the morn ing the body of the suicide-shooter was found outside in the road. The double shooting was the result of seeing red after a too free indul gence in drink. Sent to Allentown to deliver two horses to M. J. Moyer. Werley came back drunk and joined his employer at the hotel. Balliet chided him for returning so late. A word quarrel ensued. Wer ley left and went to the Balliet home, where he lived and was treated as a member of the family, and in 20 min utes returned with Balliet's double barreled shot-gun. Opening the barroom door, Warley raised the gun and fired at Balliet, who was sitting in a chair talking. Balliet fell to the floor. Werley, utter ing an oath of satisfaction, walked out into the middle of the road and with the remaing charge in the gun blew off his head. Desertion Ends In Divorce. Norristown. —Howard J. Dager, of Ambler, has been granted a divorce from Mary Thomas Houghton Dager, who deserted him four months after marriage. The couple were married In May, 1909. Mrs. Dager was the widow of John Houghton when slio married Dager, and has two children. They lived together six weeks, when Mrs. Dager declared that she would not live with her husband because she did not have the proper affection for him. She also resumed the name of her former husband. Following is a letter sent by Mrs. Dager to her hus band when he wrote to her after the separation saying he had bought a property at Norwood and asking her to live with him: "Have you no mercy? Have you de cided not to stop until you see me landed in an asylum? I ask nothing of you, no house, no support, only to bo left alone and try to forgot." Spark Costs Child's Life.

INCREASE IN NUMBER OF AMERICANS GOING TO CANADA Although Weßtern Canada suffered, as did many other portions of the •west, from untoward conditions, which turned one of the most promising crops ever seen in that country, into but little more than an average yield of all grains, there is left in th« farmers' hands, a big margin of profit. Of course there were many farmers who were fortunate enough to harvest and market a big yield, and with the prices that were secured made hand some returns. Prom wheat, oats, bar ley and flax marketed to the Ist of January, 1912, there was a gross rev enue of $75,384,000. The cattle, hogs, poultry and dairy proceeds brought this up to $101,620,000 or 21 million dollars in excess of 1910. There was still in the farmers' hands at that time about 95 million bushels of wheat ■worth at least another sixty-five mil lion dollars (allowing for inferior grades), besides about 160 million bushels of oats to say nothing of bar ley and flax, which would run into sev eral million of dollars. There is a great inrush of settlers to occupy the vacant lands through out Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Al berta. The reports from the Govern ment show that during the past year upwards of 131,000 Americans crossed the border into Canada. A great many of these took up farms, over ten thou sand having homesteaded, in fact the records show that every state in the Union contributed. A larger number, not caring togo so far away as the homesteading area, have purchased lands at from fifteen dollars an acre to twenty-five dollars an acre. The prospects for a good crop for 1912 are as satisfactory as for many years. The land has had sufficient moisture, and with a reasonably early spring, it is safe to predict a record crop. Those who have not had the latest literature sent out by the Government agents should send to the one nearest, and secure a copy. No True Friend.
