PATHOS IN CHILDS' BRAVERY Fortitude Shown by Little Sufferer In Hospital Touched Lady Henry Somerset. Lady Henry Somerset, whose labors In behalf of the children of the London slums are constant and earnest, tells this affecting story of the way In which her interest in these little ones was aroused: I was moved In that direction by the rare patience and imagination of one little boy. His example convinced me that patience was one of the Qualities I needed most, and in seeking it I grew into that work. I was in a hospital on visiting day, while the doctors were changing a plaster cast which held the crippled boy's limb. The operation was ex ceeding painful, 1 was told. To my surprise, the little sufferer neither stirred nor winced, but made a curi ous buzzing sound with his mouth. After the doctors left I said to him: "How could you possibly stand it?" "That's nothing," he answered. "Why, I just made believe that a bee was stingin' me. Bees don't hurt very much, you know. And I kept bu/.zin' because I was afraid I'd forget about Its Wing a bet) if 1 didn't." —Youth'a Companion. Voice of Conscience. A western Kentucky negro was in Jail awaiting trial for stealing a calf. His wife called to see him. On her way out the jailer, whose name was Grady, halted her. "Mandy," he inquired, "have you got a lawyer for Jim?" "No, sah," said his wife. "Ef Jim was guilty I'd git him a lawyer right away; but he tells me he ain't guilty, and so, of co'se, I ain't aimin' to hire none."

Brooklyn, N. *. STAR PITCHERS NOT IN USUAL GOOD FORM ' \ \ -i P N? B ..,4 Grover Cleveland Alexander of Philadelphia. Two wonderful pitching stars of last season are not showing the class they displayed last year. Both were first year men in 1911, and their brilliant work was the talk of the country. One was a right-hander and the other a southpaw. The right-hander is Grover Cleveland Alexander of the Phillies, and the southpaw is Vean Gregg of the Naps. "Alex" has been having a tough time of it this year, and when he does win he needs a KANE GOING AT GREAT CLIP Former Utility Player of Chicago Cubs Playing Excellent Ball on the Pacific Coast.

May be the Cubs or Sox can secure him. McGraw Makes Prophecy. New York first, Pittsburgh second, and Cincinnati third —is J. McGraw's ultimate guess anent the ultimate fin ish. The Giant leader believes that when Adams, O'Toole, Camnitz and Her.drix hit their stride the Pirates will forge forward as runners up in the N. Ij. debate. He conceded Mr. O'Day a place in the first division, but the highly repugnant idea of being beaten out by an exumpiro is no longer troubling his mid-day dreams. Marquard's New Curve. Marquard has mastered that high drop that Christy Mathewson used so successfully for so many years. He only uses it in the pinches. He al ways raises on his toes, just as Matty did, when he throws it. It starts as though It would pass the plate about teeth high, using the batter as the ob ject to be passed. Then it starts to break about three feet in front of the plate, and it falls down across the plate a neat "strike." O'Leary Wants Knight. Charlie O'Leary wants to get Jack Knight of the Washington team for his Indians. Knight has been laid up for some time. He reported under weight this spring and has never been right at any time this season. His throwing arm is weak. Before he went to Washington Knight played with New York and was regarded as one of the best batters in the American league. Southpaws Are Scarce. There is not a left-handed thrower among the Senators, perhaps a singu lar thing unequaled by any club in the major leagues. Furthermore, Milan, Moeller, Schaefer, and Cashion are the only lads who bat from the offside of the pan. Of these Moeller and Schaef er switch to the othodox side when ever an ehud occupies the hill. Working for Next Year. It has now been officially decided hat the New York Americans haven't anything that looks like a ball club. So they have quit bothering about this year and are trying to build something i'reseiitable for year. bushel of runs to pull him through. Gregg has been a little more success ful than Alexander, but he has done little better than an even break on his games so far.

"Slim" Caldwell is the High landers' contribution to the list of 1011 stars who find the going hard this year. STORIES DIAMOND '— *• McMillan is back at his old job with Rochester, 110 worse for the smashed jaw. Washington is said to want Joe Hovlik, the Milwaukee spitball expo nent. Swacina, the former Plttsburgher, is putting up a classy first base for Newark. Big league players grumble about the high cost of kicking. Those SIOO lines hurt. Brothers Harry and Martin Killilay are now with the Helena team of the Union association. Monte Pfeiffer is the new manager of the McKeesport team of the Ohio- Pennsylvania league. According to unofficial figures the Washington team has seven men in the .300 list of batters. A little suspension did Bill Powell of Kansas City a world of goad. He is Carr's best pitcher now. Red Kuhn has been doing so well of late that he has won the title of being chief of the Sox catching staff. George Stovall now has his players going so strong that he believes the Browns will finish in sevnth place. Muscatine in the Central Associa tion, has secured Pitcher Wagner from Lincoln of the Western league. Hank O'Day says he is going to fire some pitchers that cannot get the ball across the plate unless they carry it. Mclnnls doesn'St care where the In flelders throw the ball to him. "Stuf fy's" grasp is as far-reaching a3 Shy lock's. Outfielder Zinn and Shortstop Mar tin, the two Highlander youngsters, are improving in their work right along. Brooklyn has asked an option on Cramer and Giddo, the crack battery of the Frankfort team of the Blue Grass. George Mullin says he is willing to work in any city but St. T„ouls. George can get' plenty of sympathy along those lines. On® Catcher for Both Teams. At Yazoo City, Miss., one catcher was behind the bat for both teams for sixteen innings in the Cotton States league between Columbus and Yazoo City. In the second inning of the first game the Columbus catcher was hurt and there was no one to take his place. The Yazoo City catcher volunteered to keep the game going and it was so agreed by all In author ity. Yazoo City won both games. Hot Sand Bags. As a substitute for hot-water bags in ordinary ailments such as tooth ache, earache and other minor pains, use common flannel bags made in con venient sizes, with drawstrings. Fill them with hot sand or salt, and they are safer than a cheap rubber bottle, just as efficacious and much handier to use. Keep half a dozen ready; they are of great help in time of aches and pains. Looking for Good Day. President Charles Ebbets is looking now for !i date when he can celebrate the opening of his new ball park in connection with some historical event. The schedule committee squelched his first choice, but, as Charles says, his tory is full of incidents and August is full of day a. SUSPENSIONS ARE NOT JUST Patrons of Baseball Games Punished by League Executive When Play ers Are Taken Out. The presidents of the American and National leagues should have learned by this time that It is unwise to pun ish the patrons and owners of clubs by suspensions, says the Chicago Evening •Journal. Ban Johnson suspended Ed Walsh for Ave days and Tom Lynch suspended Tinker and Zimmerman for three days. These men are the star attractions of their respective clubs. A man pays his money to see Waluh or Tinker and Zimmerman play. When he reaches the ball park, he finds that they are out of the game because they have been suspended. When the star is unable to appear at a theater the management usually of fers to refund the price of tickets. There is no refund at a ball park, al though the fans are as much entitled to it under the circumstances as are theater-goers. The suspension of ball players should be stopped. The club owners have only to order their presi dents to discontinue it. Suspending a ball pi aye;* does not punish him. no matter how much he may deserve pun ishment. It does not punish him to give him a rest, but a fine of say SIOO for foul or obscene language on the field would hurt him. If a player knew he would be hit in the pocket book every time he used bad language on the field, the conversation on the ball field soon would be a model for drawing rooms. The underlying Idea of suspensions—that of maintaining discipline and keeping order—can not be criticised. Order and discipline are absolute essentials, but it has been proved time and time ag3in that suspension as a disciplinary measure is a failure. It punishes only the club owner and the fans —not the offend ing player. It is unfair to take games from one club and give them to an other by suspending the most valuable players. The spirit of American sportsmanship rebels at such methods. BIG FRENCHMAN FOOLED HIM Pitcher Quirn Intentionally Passe.* Joe Jackson to Get at the Mighty Nap Lajoie. For the first time since he has been a member of the Cleveland club. Nap Lajoie had the experience of seeing an opposing pitcher pass his precessor at bat so he could take a chance at Lajoie. That happened in a recent New York game. There were two out. with Graney on third and Olson on second. Jackson had already procured a triple and a single. Qulnn pitched carefully to him this time. He soon found himself in the hole and rather Napoleon Lajoie. than try to get the ball over for Joe, deliberately pitched two wide ones and passed him, evidently preferring to take a chance on Lajoie. All the big Frenchman did was to drive in three runs. Watkins' Good Work, Rube Watkins, the star portsider with the Sharon team of the O. & P. i leag.ie, in 10 games fanned 101 bats- j men. an average of 10 men a game, 110 has issued 25 bases 011 balls and has been touched up for 70 bingles.

Prlncs Henry of Keitss, who speaks superb English, laughed good-natured ly at a dinner in New York, over the account of certain officers of the Ger man fleet. "One of our chaplains," said the prince, "had the hardihood to preach in English at one of your Lutheran chapels the other day. He astonished his congregation by saying, as he rose, that he would chose for his text the words: " 'And he tore his shirt.' "A quite audible snicker went round. The chaplain noticed it, flushed, and repeated the text in a louder, slower, more distinct and impressive voice: " 'And he tore his shirt.' "The snicker became a laugh, and the pastor rose and said: " 'Our good brother Is quoting, of course, the familiar words: " 'And the door is shut.'"
