IN THE WORLD OF
SPORT
Ty Cobb Wants to Become
a Pitcher.
Not satisfied with being called cham
pion batter, base runner and the best
right Holder In the American league, Ty
Cobb of tho Detroit Tigers Is after
more honors. The Tiger star wants
to become a pitcher. Nearly every day
before the game starts ono can see
Tyrns hurling the sphere to his com
rades, trying to put all kinds of twists
on the ball. Some of his teammates
say that with more practice Cobb will
do. He has a spittcr that many of tho
major leaguers would envy. But as
Cobb is of more uso to the Tigers as
a right fielder, batter and base runner
than he would be as a pitcher the
chances are that ho will never have
the honor of doing duty in the bos in
a regular game.
To Swim English Channel.
A most determined effort will be
made to swim the English channel this
season. It is nearly thirty-five years
since Captain Webb paddled across,
and, though many attempts have been
made, not one man has succeeded. Of
those who have tried it the best at
tempt stands to the credit of Jappy
Wolffe, who came within a quarter of
a 'mile of the shore and hndto'be pull
ed out of the water, being so exhaust
ed that be could not make another
stroke. Montague A. Holbein, who
came almost as close as Wolffe eight
years ago, la preparing for another
dash.
Frank Gould on Turf.
Frank J. Gould of New York said
recently that he might after all con
sider tho private purchase of Viel Pi
card's two racing establishments at
Danger and Chantilly, France, togeth
er with tho entire stud, which is now
for sale. Ho will take the first oppor
tunity to visit the stables at Danger
and Chantilly. They representanIn
vestment of soveral million francs.
He intends to devoto himself largely
la tho future to turf matters, but la
averse to buying race horses at auc
tion. w -
Penn Athletes Abroad.
N. J. Cartmell, tho former champion
college sprinter, and F. L. Ramsdell of
Texas, tho University of Pennsylvania
runner who w.on tho Intercollegiate
championship for 100 yards recently,
are now in England, where they will
meet some of the best short distance
men in Europe.
Ramsdell will run several races In
order to get In sbapo for the English
championships, which will bo held on
July 2.
Stars Do Not Last Forever.
Having released Tim Jordan and
Harry Lumley outright, tho Brooklyn
club has Illustrated tho fact that star
players cannot last forever. Threo
years ago Manager McGraw of tho
Giants offered $25,000 for Jordan and
Lumley. President Ebbets was ready
to sell ot that figure, but former Man
ager Pat Donovan blocked tho deal by
threatening to resign.
Barry After New Conquests.
JIra Barry, the Chicago heavyweight,
who cleared $0,000 out of tho battlo ho
fought in California, is ready to tako
on either Jim Flynu of Pueblo, Colo.,
or Stanley Ketchol before nny club
offering tho best purse. Jim says be
will never fight another negro. Ho
says they aro too tough for him. That
eliminates Jack Johnson.
American Horses Outclassed.
Tho showing mado on American
tracks by some of tho Keeno and Whit
ney horses raced abroad last summer
explains perhaps why tho American
horses did not do better over on tho
other side. They wero outclassed.
Holdman Dartmouth's Track Captain.
At a meeting of tho Dartmouth track
leam recently Oro Ellsworth Holdman
jf Seattle, Wash., was elected captain
or next year. Holdman has been on
the team for three years and holds the
college record for the pole vault.
HINTS ON SAFE BATHING.
How to Overcome Dangers In Frtth
and Salt Water.
Tho great majority of the accidents
in connection with bathing nro due to
readily proventablo causes and aro of
ten entirely tho result of gross care
lessness or gross Ignorance.
Take, for example, ono of tho most
dreaded causes of bathing accidents
and fatalities tho cramp. Now, cramp,
as n rule, is merely tho result of indi
gestion, and it has been brought on In
the water owing to the fact that tho
bather has rushed off almost Immedi
ately after a meal, and tho violent ex
ercise, combined with tho shock of the
plunge into cold water, produces tho
indigestion, which in turn produces
cramp.
Even when cramp manifests itself it
often happens that it is not cramp
which drowns tho bather, but his loss
of presence of mind. As long as you
keep your head above water and do
not swallow deep drafts of it you arc
all right. With regard to cramp, If
you aro near shore strike out for It
boldly, whatever tho pain. If tho
cramp Is In tho nrms turn over on your
back and kick yourself ashore with
your legs. If. however, tho logs arc
seized with cramp and this is usually
tho case, but only one log Is usually
affected nt a time then turn on your
back, bend your toes upward, kick out
tho cramped leg as hard as you can
and with one hand rub the cramped
spot, usually the calf, ns hard as ever
you can.
Above all, never mind the pain, but
work tho leg for all you nre worth,
and do not lose confidence and start
drinking pluts of water. This euro has
often been effected In tho water by an
expert swimmer.
Another common danger of bathing
comes from strong tides or high waves,
and in nearly every nccldont tho bath
er has taken Improper risks. It can
not bo too strongly Impressed on even
good swimmers that to swim out on n
falling tide Is n most risky perform
ance. If you nro accompanied by a
boat, well nnd good, but if not the tide
has a trick of getting stronger ns tho
water deepens, and the difficulty of re
turning Increases every yard you swim.
As to those who cannot swim or who
can swim only a few strokes, an old
and expert swimmer's advice is that
one should never, even in calm weath
er, go out up to tho armpits and play
about at that depth. Tho slightest mo
tion of the water nt that depth will
carry you off your legs nnd as often ns
not into deeper water. On a shelving
shore the weight of tho body will bo
naturally thrown forward into deeper
water. Such persons should never
wade out deeper than their chests, and
then they should immediately turn
around, faco to the shore and strike
out for it.
It Is really quite easy to propel your
self toward the shoro eyen if you can
not swim. In many cases tho act" of
throwing your body forward, will place
you in safety, and if at tho same time
you scoop the water toward you with
hollowed hands you may cover In threo
seconds somo seven or eight feet. If
at tho samo timo you give a vigorous
kick with your legs with both legs, if
possible you will move a considerable
distance before you suffer your first
immersion. But tho chief thing to re
member is that you should turn to
ward tho shore tho moment the water
comes up to your chest and in no case
go out even to that depth when the
water is rough.
Again, you should never bathe, if in
tho least delicate, upon an empty stom
ach before breakfast. Tho ideal time
ij between two and threo hours after
that meal, when your food is fairly
well digested.
Yet another serious risk which is
common to all who batho in rivers is
danger from weeds. If you should
find your legs entangled in weeds a
most dangerous situation, which is
rendered more dangerous because of
its effect on tho mind remember this:
The only way to rid yourself of weeds
Is to stretch your body and legs out
quietly as flat as you can, pull tho wa
ter to you with hollowed hands and at
tho same tlmo inako soveral very short
but rapid strokes with your legs. Tho
combined effect of this action is al
most always to free you from tho
weeds.
Abovo all, learn nt oucc to float. It
will get you out of many a difficulty.
Given these precautious, nlnety-nlno
people out of every hundred can bathe
in warm weather with Bafety and benefit.
How to Enamel Pantry Shelves.
An excellent Idea for panfry Shelves
Is to glvo them two coats of ordinary
white paint and then a third flulshiug
coat of white enamel. As soon as tho
enamel dries wash it over with cold
water, and then It will harden quickly.
Do not cover these shelves with pa
per, but leave them bare and notice
the Improvement. As there aro no cov
ers under which crumbs, etc., can col
lect, there is nothing to encourage
mice, and the enamel Is easily wiped
cleau with a damp cloth.
How to Keep Kitchen Walls Clean.
Tho beat way to keep tho walls of
tho kitchen whlto and glossy is to
wash their painted surface with bran
water Instead of soap. Boll ono pint
of bran in a gallon of wnter for au
hour. Tho paint will look better and
keep clean longer when washed with
this than when cleaned with soap or

Helped Out the Gunner.
Gadebusch. In the grand duchy of
Mecklcnburg-Schwerln, lu celebration
of the birth of n grand ducnl heir de
cided to fire the regulation salute of
101 guns. An ancient cannon was
hauled out for tho purpose, aud tho
firing began. Unfortunately tho pow
der ran short after the ninety-third
shot, nnd thcro was no means of ob
taining nny more in tho town. Tho
burgomaster wns in despair, especially
as ninety-three shots indicated that the
grand ducal baby was a girl. At this
moment the municipal bandmaster
camo forward with a luminous pro
posal, which was eagerly accepted.
Ho dispatched his big drum major to
tho market place, where be struck
eight powerful strokes on his instru
ment to uinko up the 101 shots, and
thus the situation wns saved. London

Eccentricities In Palaces.
The Russian Empress Aunc built a
great palace of ice and on occasions
when tho fancy seized her punished
several of her dainty courtiers by com
pelling them to pnss the night in this
great chamber of state, where they
were almost frozen to death.
Tho Czar Paul constructed a room
formed entirely of huge mirrors where
he spent hours walking to nnd fro lu
full uniform a slugular taste for the
ugliest mau in Russia.
Ono of the native princes of Java
cooled hh palace by making a stream
fall in n cascade over the gateway,
and tho Indian despot Tlppo Sahib
placed beside hU dinner table n Ufo
size figure of a tiger devouring au
English officer, the roar of the beast
and the shrieks of the victim being
imitated by hidden machinery.
The River Tinto.
There is in Spain n river called tho
Tlnto, which has very extraordinary
qualities. Its waters, which are as
yellow ns a topaz, harden the sand and
petrify it in a most surprising manner.
If n stone falls into the river and rests
upon another they both become per
fectly united nnd conglutinated in a
year. It withers all tho plants on its
banks as well as the roots of trees,
which it dyes of the same hue as its
waters. Ko fish live in its stream.
A Creature From the Fire.
Aristotle believed that some crea
tures were capable of supporting life
even though confined to the devouring
element. He says: "In Cyprus, when
the manufacturers of chalcltis (lime)
burn it many days in the fire, a winged
creature something larger than a great
fly is seen emerging from tbo stone
and leaping and walking about in the
fire. These creatures perish immedi
ately upon being removed from the
furnace."

My Unknown Love.
I used to meet her in the park
Behind a prancing pair,
While this poor heart went pitapat
To see a form so fair.
I grew to know her lovely eyes,
Her cheeks that flush and palo.
But who can see a maiden's blush
Beneath an auto veil?
In winter she's an Eskimo
In heavy furs arrayed.
In summer she Is nothing but
A goggled mummy maid.
And so my heart has ceaBed to throb
At sound of horn or bell.
It might bo Angelina.
If it wero I could not tell.

There Should.
Fritz, tho gardener, was a stolid Ger
man who wns rarely moved to extraor
dinary language! Even the most pro
Vocative occasions only caused him to
remark mildly ou his HI luck. Not long
ago ho enme back from the city In tho
lato evening after n hard day In tho
market place. He wns sleepy, and, the
train being crowded, tho baggageman
gave him n chair lu his roomy car.
Finally the train reached Illoomficld.
Fritz still slept ns it pulled in, nnd his
friend had to shake htm aud tell him
where ho was.
"1 tanks you," Bald Fritz as ho rose
slowly to his feet. Tho ouon door of
tho enr was directly in front of him.
Ho walked straight out of it.
Tho baggageman sprang to look aft
er him. Fritz slowly picked himself
up from the sand by tho side of tho
track, looked up nt tho door nnd sold,
with no wrnth In his voice:
"There should hero bo somo steps."
Youth's Companion.
A Wonderful Feat.
In Its review cf Pierre do Vnssiere's
book "Le Mort du Hoi" the Neueste
Nachrlchten dwells upon tho account
of the last seven minutes of Louis
XVI. as described in the book. These
were between 10:15, when tho king ar
rived at the foot of tho guillotine, and
10:22, "when a shot fired at tho end of
tho Champs Elysees. no ono knows by
whom, gave notice that tho head had
fallen." The review calls attention to
the statement by the author that the
king's hand.! had been pinioned be
hind him by tho executioner while
Louis was putting on the coat which
ho was to wear at the end and that
when ho reached tho platform of the
instrument of death ho rushed unas
sisted to the upright farthest from tho
stairway, "slapping tho face of ono of
tho assistant executioners who tried to
stop him." With hands fastened nt his
back, tho reviewer asks, "How did the
doomed monarch manage to perform
tho operation?"
Etiquette by Precedent.
For example of how men may live
and net according to precedent there
can be no better reference than to the
lord chamberlain's office in London.
There in quiet rooms day after day
men learned In state etiquette, court
dres3 and royal functions reach down
heavy volumes to see what was done
on such and such an occasion. Beau
tiful pictures showing with minute ex
actness the details of the court cos
tume under various circumstances are
ready to tbelr hands. Is tho shah of
Persia coming? Is the kniser soon to
arrive? Is the king going to receive
tbo monarch of Siam? Is one of the
royal princesses to bo married? When
any of theso events happens the offi
cials at tho lord chamberlain's office
know exactly what to do. And if
some point should crop up which has
not been raised for a century or more
they have tho faithful official records
as to what was done on the last like
occasion.
