PlttfilmrK'N Pitching; Staff.
Jesse Taniiehlll, one of the ablest
pitchers that ever filled a box, is again
doing splendid work for the Flttsburgs.
The lead 111 the National race now hold
by the Pirates Is largely due to the tell
ing performances of the twirling staff,
and Tnnnehlll seldom falls to deliver
the goods.
Chesbro, Phllllppl, Leever, Poole, Do
hcuy and Merritt are other human cat-
JESSE TANXEHH.Ii,
apults that are materially aiding the
Smoketown contingent in the fight for
pennant No. 2, and the first two named
have attained prominence entitling
them to leading rank. One of the fea
tures of Tannehlll's work is his apti
tude for hitting the ball. Pitchers are
notoriously poor batsmen, but the stal
wart Jesse frequently lands on the
leather for safe ones.
The Pirates' pitching department is
almost Identical with that of last year,
and Captain-Manager Fred Clarke Is to
be complimented for holding Ills men
together during the days when the
American league offered all sorts of
tempting inducements to good National
players.
College Rowing JnMlro.
There is a plan on foot to commemo
rate the fiftieth anniversary of the first
llarvard-Yalo boat race, which was
held on Lake Winnepesaukee Aug. 3,
1832. It will be a reunion of the sur
vivors of the crews of this the first in
tercollegiate boat race in America, and
the survivors of all subsequent college
crews will also be invited to attend the
reunion.
The reunion will be held in New
York in October, as it is thought Im
practicable to hold such a meeting on
the anniversary day In August. The
committee of arrangements Is Joseph
M. Brown, Harvard, '53, and James M.
Whltln, Y'ale, '53. The committee says
In its circular letter:
"That regatta on Luke Winnepesau
kee became 111 away unforeseen the
starting point of the present wide and
varied development of Intercollegiate
competition, which now Includes trans
atlantic with domestic rivalry. This hi
turn has promoted a solidarity of Inter
est among American universities and
colleges. It is today knitting together
the once Isolated communities of stu
dents with a common feeling as mem
bers of the common republic of letters.
The event which has had such a se
quel, however unpremeditated, may
seem on reflection worthy to be com
memorated."
IntcreNt In Cricket.
Cricket lovers throughout the coun
try will have more of the game this
summer than they can well follow.
From the present outlook England's
national sport will have a greater fol
lowing in and around New York than
was ever thought possible heretofore.
It is becoming the proper thing to
cricket, and the smart set is taking
it up Just as It adopted golf.
The championship of the Metropoli
tan District Cricket league will be
played out between seven teams. In
the New York Cricket association sev
en teams will play for the champion
ship, and in the Prospect Park (Brook
lyn) Cricket association five teams
have entered.
There will bo several intercity and
intcrnssociation matches during the
summer and at least one game between
the Australian team now in England
and picked metropolitan cricketers.

Charles Pell of Drake university, the
winner of the hammer throw at the re
cent western Intercollegiate meet und
admittedly the greatest all around ath
lete in lowa, has been declared a pro
fqssional. The fourteen points won by
him at the state meet this year have
been thrown out. The charge against

I FELIPE I
By GRANVILLE TUAIIE %
• Copyright, 1001, by Granville Traro +
Don Felipe, banker of Manila, knew
that to lie for the good of the church
is a virtue, and he was not the man to
separate religion and business. His
devotion to the strong box was no less
ardent than his ambition never to fail
of counting the requisite number of
beads on Sunday or to confess to Fa
ther Jose ut least once a quarter. So
Don Felipe lied with readiness when
the church or his pesetas were con
cerned, especially the pesetas.
Therefore was he considered a good
citizen, and thereby also he incurred
the wrath of two heretics, Impolite
Americans with ancient Springiields
in their hands and un-Spanlsli ideas In
their prairie grown brains.
liut the brains nnd the rifles served
Don Felipe well once when, Just after
their nrrival, ho offered two thousand
("Mex.") to Privates Turner and Lar
son for the rescue of ills twelve-year
old son, who was supposed to be at the
plantation La Ilonradez in the inte
rior.
The colonel, on whose ranch the two
had punched steers, was obdurate
when they went to liirn about It. But
Larson hud often worsted him at pok
er, and out of respect for the man he
finally gave hlin permission to try for
the reward. As for Turner, the "old
man" loathed him for a shiftless dog
and considered it only a question
whether he would some time reach his
dentil by Mauser bullets or by order of
a court martial.
So Don Felipe sent his emissaries
Junglewnrd, to return after three
months with a medley of bruises and
beards of long standing and wide
sweep. They brought the boy, and he
was bruised about the ears.
"Ho thought he was the king of
these cannibal isles," Turner said.
"We had to cuff the little devil a good
deal to teach him his place. At first
ho ordered us around ns if lie was born
111 shoulder straps, but we soon taught
him that traveling in the Jungle isn't
the same tiling ns lying in a hammock
and having u nigger to work the fun.
That trlii was 11 good tiling for the kid.
It would have been u good thing for
any of these sutin skinned Spaniards."
It was philosophy, but Don Felipe
was no philosopher. He was Indig
nant nnd wont to the colonel. The colo
nel in turn was indignant nnd showed
him the door, whereat Don Felipe
waxed more wrathy than ever. He
swore 111 fervid Cnstlllan, brandishing
ids flabby fists, and told Turner nnd
Larson to get their pay where they
might.
It was n bluff, a lie, to save the To
ward, for if more cutting would have
yielded more gold lie would have kept
the boy's ears roaring like u canebrake
in a monsoon. But what was to be
done? The military government must
be lenient with the resident population,
advertising its benevolent Intentions.
Moreover, how were soldiers, who, ac
cording to the sergeant's book, had
been spending their time in barracks,
to receive pay for a nasty Job some
where in the Jungle?
Larson was stupefied. The ingruti
tucle of the man was beyond him. It
was an hour before lie recovered from
tile shock, and when the eruption final
ly began Turner stopped him.
"Return good for evil," he admon
ished.
Larson was dazed anew, and his
dumbness returned upon him.
"We must," continued Turner. "It
is best for him that he should pay Ills
honest debts, and we must do what
we can to make him see his best In
terests."
It was Saturday night and Larson
was eager for canteen drill, but Tur
ner objected. He turned in early to
think.
Monday morning, and Don Felipe sat
at liis desk, a look, half anger, half
terror 011 his face and his right liaud
grasping nervously for his cane. The
Intruder was Turner. Don Felipe's ap
prehensions were soon quieted, how
ever. Turner stopped at three puces
from the door, hat in hand, and made
a deep obeisance.
"Will the senor grant me a word?"
Don Felipe radiated majesty for a
half minute, then pronounced:
"I shall hear you."
Turner expressed gratitude.
"The sciior 110 doubt expects to dis
pose of his plantation."
No reply.
"The condiflon of the country is ex
tremely unsettled and the future Is un
certain. The new administration may
not be friendly to Spanish Interests.
Being 1111 American, 1 urn willing to
place capital here. In case the senor
wishes to dispose of the plantation my
friend and I are prepured to offer a
satisfactory price."
Don Felipe was astonished at licur
lng a private refer to himself as u
capitalist, but ho reflected that the man
must be merely an agent, and, more
over, even the shadow of such an op
portunity would have been worth
grasping at. But business policy dic
tated delay, and Don Felipe bade liis
caller to an interview the day fol
lowing.
"Well?" queried Larson as Turner
came back from the second encounter.
"Good. His standing me off for a day
was pure bluff. He was dead anxious.
All there is left for us to do is to sign
the papers and turn over the money."
Larson contorted his visage express
ively.
"When do we sign the papers?"
"Saturday evening, and we are to do
It in style—lnvite a dozen or two of the
push and huve a blowout at the castle
of ids highness. A banquet Is always
in order with these Spaniards. A Span
lard couldn't have Ills mustuche curled
without giving a dinner."
Numerous paper lanterns rivaled the
splendor of twenty white uniforms In
the pavilion that served for a banquet
hall, and the glory thereof was full
compensation to Don Felipe for an ex
penditure that ordinarily would have
been heartrending. He was eloquent
111 lame English, nnd there was free
flowing of good wine nnd bad toasts.
"Ellos SocoiTodores, the Rescuers,"
announced the toastmnster, and their
host made Turner and Larson feel
themselves heroes Indeed. He forgot
animosities and poured forth his soul.
Larson was touched. He whispered:
"Say, Turner, don't you think, really,
now, that the old gent is coming around
all right? Maybe we'd better not"—
"Yes, wo had too. Suppose we'd be
getting any of that If it cost him any
thing? Don't be easy—and let up on
the cognac."
Don Felipe's commercial English was
too limited for use 011 1111 occasion like
this, and in liis native tongue, thus In
terpreted, he concluded:
"Rescuers, heroes, you have restored
to me the light of my soul. I owe you
the life of my beloved son, nnd I repay
you, senores, witli the only reward
which the poor may bestow or which
heroes can desire; senores, I thunlt
you."
Principals and witnesses signed legal
documents, anil Turner nnd Larson be
came owners of La Ilonradez.
Don Felipe was about to give the
signal for resuming festivities when a
servant brought a letter. It was from
the plantation. He broke the seal and
rend:
Honorable Master—T hasten to write to
you 01' what happened when the two
Americans were here three weeks ugo.
One afternoon when we were all fishing
In the river where It cut through during
the last rains I dropped my llsli pail in
the water, and when I brought it up It
contained Bomo queer yellow pebbles. I
showed them to the Americans, and they
seemed greatly astonished and said It was
gold, and they dipped the pall and brought
up more of tho pebbles.
Don Felipe did not finish the ram
bling account. He hastened to find
the signature and after easting aside
several closely written pages found
crowded into a corner:
Your honor's faithful and humble serv
ant, I'EDRO.
Don Felipe felt genuine emotion now.
Ills nails blanched, but he did not
swear. Turner was watching him, and
it was necessary to net. He signed for
silence ufter a moment and said in a
broken voice:
"Senores, a letter from my mother,
on her deathbed. She—she makes a
last request." Pause for supposed
grief. "A lust request that I shall
never part with the beloved estate of
Lu Ilonradez. Senores, you will ap
preciate my position. Such u request
cannot bo denied. I take refuge in tlie
honor and generosity of my dear
friends" —
"Alas, your honor's saintly mother,"
interrupted Turner, "a pious and de
vout woman, I have heard. Is her
name not Pedro? I bribed Pedro to
keep silence, but"—
Voluble and profane remarks from
Don Felipe; then calm.
lie led Turner to one side and set
tled the business like a 1111111 by pay
ing two thousand ("Mex.") to get the
deed buck.
They of the uniforms departed. An
other message arrived. It read:
Senor—lt Is my duty to inform you of
the sad death of your faithful servant.
Pedro, on the day before my arrival at
La Honrndez. Ho was wildly delirious
before dcatli and imagined himself the
discoverer of quantities of gold.

flow Wars Begin.
"Papa, how do nations get into war
with each other?" asked Tommy Sea
souby.
"Sometimes one way, sometimes an
other," said tho father. "Now, there arc
Germany and Spain; they came near
getting into war because a Spanish
uiob took down the German flag."
"No, my dear," put In Mrs. Seasonby;
"that wasn't the reason."
"But, my darling," said Mr. S„ "don't
you suppose I know? You are mis
taken. That was the reason."
"No, dearie, you are mistaken. It
was because the Germans"—
"Mrs. Seasonby, I say it was be
cause"—
"Peleg, you know better. You are
only trying to"—
"Madam, I don't understand that
your opinion was asked in this uiattef
anyway."
"Well, I don't want my boy instruct
ed by 1111 old ignoramus."
"See here, you impudent"—
"Put down your cane, you old brute.
Don't you dare bristle up to me or I'll
send tills rolling pin at your head, you
old"
"Never mind," interrupted Tommy;
"I think I know how wars begin."—

Vned In Bookbinding.
It seems a somewhat surprising
statement to make that eggs, condensed
milk, olive oil und vinegar are all used
in tlie binding of books. Yet such is
the case. The white of egg is used for
"sizing," to cause tlie delicate orna
mental gold leaf to adhere to tlie
leather. To make the "sizing" perform
its adhesive work even more delicately
a little milk is added, and to help fur
ther in the important work of adhe
sion, a coating of olive oil or diluted
vinegar is sometimes applied to the
leather. Wise old bookbinders have
been seen to use tlie light froth of ale
as a coating over a binding of silk. The
frotli holds tlie gold leaf with perfect
1 success and does not stuin the silk.
' Many of tlie old expert bookbinders

by which to produce peculiarly fine re
sults, nnd these secrets they guard ns
