Therefore the tto:o'l;me, as nn Adjunct
to the battleship, l;"ccni"s a matter
of Interest, lo'h taeically and econom
ically. The coming attempt of an
aerop'ane to f!y from the deck of an
ocean s'ean cr back to New York nor

Though the federal government has
rescinded the order detal Ipr torpedo
boats to assist In the experiment, the
navy department wlh keep official
watch on It. The result of this experi
ment may dett rinlne whether the
naval authorities will equip the next
new battleship with an aeroplane and

flight from tho kIiip'h dick while at
sea. The advent 01 the battleship

nothing but scouts, and not rapid ones,
says the Chicago Ilecord Herald. Yet
the cost of their maintenance Is al
most that of n dreadnought. If the
aeroplane can perforin scout duty at
sea the cost of constructing and main
taining our navy will be Immensely
reduced. This new application of
aeronautics to naval warfare seems, at
present, a delicate nnd difficult mat
ter. It will require expert aviators
aboard thlp and highly favorable con
ditions all n round. Yet skilled and
daring flyers are rapidly Increasing In
number and the ability to cope with
varied atmospheric conditions Is de
veloping to match.
Showing American agricultural prod
ucts alongside thoRe of England and
Scotland in thosa two countries may
not strike many as promising valu
able results to our people. Dut In
other ways there seem to be opportu
nities. John N. McCunn, our consul
at Glasgow, writes that he considers
It a great mistake that American farm
and dairy outfits are not on exhibition
at the farmers' weekly market In
such Scotch towns as Kilmarnock,
Kirkcudbright and other places of like
character. It appears that the ex
cellence of such devices Is their own
commendation. The Inventive Amer
ican mind has gone very far In con
triving apparatus which economizes
time and effort and Increases effi
ciency, aa the use of such appliances
here has demonstrated. Th3 old world
has been Blower, but the Scotch are
Quick to perceive advantages such as
the American outfits assure, and Con
sul McCunn'g hint might be taken
with advantage to all concorned.
Carlyle once told a man who was
financially Interested In gold mining
that all tho gold ever produced by
California was not worth one good
mealy potato. And yet the potato
in Scotland has a history of less than
200 years, says the Edinburgh Dis
patch. When Macdonald of Clan
ranald, In 1743 brought seed potatoes
for his tenants In South Uist they ob
jected to planting them because the
potato Is not mentioned in the Bible!
Somewhat later George Ilachop, one
of the Ochtertyre tenants, when told
by his wife that she had potatoes for
upper, contemptuously replied: "Tat
tles! tattles! I never supplt on them
a' my days, and wtnna the nlcht.
Glle them to the herd, gle me
sowens."
Cape Town once lived under bo se
rero a code of sumptuary laws that
anything like display was restricted
to the governor and his Immediate
circle. Thus runs Article VI. of the
Dutch laws against luxury and osten
tation: "No one less In rank than a
Junior merchant and t! ose among the
citizens of equal rank and the wives
nd daughters only of those who aro
or have been members of any coun
cil shall venture to use umbrellas. "
in practice this restricted the posses
lion and use of umbrellas to about CO
persons In Cape Town.

JIM SCOTT'S START
James Scott, White Sox Pitcher.
If anyone had told mo I would be a
professional baseball player ten years
ago I would have laughed. I wanted
to bo a physician and bad my college
career nil mapped out. My father
had agreed to send me to college at
Nebraska Wesleyan university and I
went there to start my professional
cureer. I had played a Uttlo baseball
around my home at Lander, Wyo., as
a boy, usually at third base, and had
not given the game a serious thought.
The way I happened to get Into base
ball was an accident. I was at home
In Lander when some of the boys
wanted me to come out and play third
base against the team from a regi
ment stationed at the post. It hap
pened that there were a lot of railroad
men out to see the game, and among
them was J. P. Cantillon, a brother of
Mike and Joe Cantillon, the baseball
men. I did not know this at the time.
In the first Inning the soldiers made
two runs off our pitcher and knocked
him out, bo tho boys yelled for me to
go In and pitch. I knew nothing
about pitching except to fire the ball
over and pitch a curve when I felt
like it, but I went In. It was the
first real game I ever had tried to
pitch. We won out, 3 to 2, and I
think the soldiers made one hit off
me. After the game Mr. Cantillon
came to me and said If I wanted to
pitch baseball he would give me a
ticket to Dps Moines, where the Can
tlllons owned the team, for a try out.
The fellows dared mo to go, and Just
BROWN HOT AFTER WOLGAST
Clever New York Lightweight Is De
sirous of Getting on Match With
Champion of His Class.
Knockout Crown, the New York
lightweight, who has come to the top
In pugilistic circles of late, Is desirous
of getting on a match with Ad Wol
gast, tho champion In his class. Wol
gast la credited with making the re
mark that llrown wil have to get a
reputation first before he will consent
to meet him. This has stirred up the
New York fighter and his manager,
Danny Morgan. The latter recently
handed some choice bon mots to
Adolph, retorting that Brown at the
present time has a better reputation
than Wolgast.
"The whole trouble with Ad Is that
he Is afraid," says Morgan. "Erne,
Cans, Nelson all of these met real
fighters when they held the champion
ship. Wolgast Is no fighter. He shows
' this by his refusal to meet fighters.
What did he do after winning the
title? Why, he picked up a couple of
fourth raters that nobody ever heard
of and broke his arm on vliem. Drown

has as much right to fight Wolgast as
Wolgast had to fight Nelson aud a
whole lot more, too. Nelson was 100
years old physically when Wolgast
bent him. He refuses to meet Tommy
Murphy, although Tommy has beaten
bi:n."
Spltbsll In Tennis.
It. E. Callahan, a Spokane (Wash.)
tennis plaver, and his playing partner,
C. E. Colo, claim to have Invented a
peculiar new stroke In tennis which
will bear something of the same rela
tion to that game that tho "spltter"
does to baseball. The team has used
tho stroke with signal success all
through the present season, not losing
a single, set this year. This team has
been winning all rort of matches for
stakes and side beta of varying slietf
In the northwest this summer. Calla
han refuses to ilisciiHs tho new stroke,
but states that It Is utterly lmiiSHlble
to handle It on the other side of the
yiet when It la properly delivered.
DUE TO BOYISH DARE
as a piece of boy foolishness 1 packed
up and left that night for Des Moines.
There were eleven pitchers there be
ing tried out. I hung around for a
couple of weeks and pitched one In
ning, finishing up a game that was
lost. They told mo then they didn't
need me. I had no contract or agree
ment and dlil not receive a cent. I
hated to go back home and have tho
boys think I had failed, and felt that
they had not given me much of a
chance. Besides I had been studying
tho experienced pitchers on the team
and had begun to learn that there was
more to pitching than throwing the
ball.
I got out of Des Moines and went
to Oskaloosa, Iowa, where I got a Job
as pitcher and made good quickly. I
gave a lot of thought and hard work
to pitching and when Wichita picked
me up I decided to stick to the pro
fession and show them I could move
up In It. I had begun to like It and
the deeper I got into It the more sat
isfaction I took In my work. It had
become my real profession. I worked
hard at Wichita and that fall was
sold to Chicago. I came there think
ing I know a lot, only to find out I
was Just starting, and by studying the
great pitchers on Comlskey's team I
think I began to Improve. It was
harder work the higher up I got and I
found that I had to keep studying and
working Just as hard to hold on as to
get up. That Is all there has been
to It, Just hard work and hard study.

both Lavlgne nnd lagrave are of

Fltzpatrick naturally was much Im

his boy recently fought with Battling
Nelson, and eonsldcta It a great per
formance. In n note to the writer,
Fltzpatrick says:
"Lngrave Is another Kid Uivlgne,
and that 15 rounds with Nelson very
much resembled tho Lavlgne-Wolcott
fight at Maspeth some time ago."
It Is quite evident that. Lagrave put
up a sturdy fight, and tho only ques

Dane on the night of the battle. The
g"neral Impres.ion as to Ne'son's

Fltzpatrlck's reference to the La-
vigne-Walcott battle at Maspeth In
1805 revives recollections of one of
the fiercest glove lights In the history
of the Queensbury game. The bout
was a handicap affair, Walcott stipu
lating to knock out Lnvlgne In 15
rounds or forfeit a $300 sldo bet. The
men weighed 133 pounds ringside, and
this was a severe handicap to the ne
gro, who was compelled to resort to
baths and drugs In order to make the
weight.
The match grew out of an argument
betwen O'Hourke and Fltzpatrick as to
the lelatlve merits of their men.
Walcott started in with a rush and
for a time punished Lavlgne severely.
But the Saginaw Kid, with his won
derful vitality, took all Walcott could
hand out and then came back for
more.
The bout lasted the scheduled limit
of 15 rounds, and while both men were
on their' feet, Walcott had weakened
under the enforced low weight and the
fast pace and probably would have
been put to sleep In a few more rounds.
Lavlgne, by staying to the end of
tho bout won the wager, and Tim
Hurst, the referee, was not called on
to make any decision.
Had a decision been rendered on the
bout Itself It would have been a draw,
as Walcott had the best of the first
half of the bout and Lavlgne came
very strongly In the latter half.
Some of the records erroneously set
forth that Walcott lost the bout. All
that the Black Demon lost was $500
and, some prestige because he failed
to put Lavigne to sleep.
Jones Turns Down Harvard.
Fielder Jones, former leader of the

Jones, who Is heavily Interested In

should not be too plain and unorna

Many try so hard in their desire for

For the bedrooms a combination of

of building a new house of this kind

Money Speaks.
Somerset Maugham, the popular
English playwright, was shown by
a reporter, during his recent visit to
New York, a rather harsh criticism
of his work.
Mr. Maugham, with a smile, took
out his pocketbook and began to read
off to the reporter the "runs" of his
various plays:
"'Mrs. Dot,' 421 nights; 'Smith,"
217 nights; 'Penelope,' 399 nights."
So he read on till he had com
pleted the long list of bis successes.
Then he said:
"When the author of this article
has written plays with runs like
those, I'll believe his criticism. Till
then I prefer to believe in the pub
lic and the box office. This isn't a
question of words; It's a question of
figures."

LOVE AND THE AEROPLANE
Borne Good Advice for Those Daring
Mortals Who Would Do Their
Courting Aloft.
Secure a nice roomy aeroplane, and
place In It an old-fashioned sofa or
armchair. Then put the girl in, get
In yourself and turn on the power.
Do not be In any hurry. Get far
enough up so that you can be preoc
cupied for a few momenta without
landing.
It Is Just as well to strap the girl
In. She can't get away, of course, but
you can kiss a girl In an aeroplane
much easier If she Is firmly secured.
Always keep one hand on the steer
ing apparatus and the other on the
girl; but If worst comes to worst let
go the steering apparatus.
The following schedule, if adhered
to, will prevent ordinary accidents:
Five hundred feet up, hold girl's
hand.
Six hundred feot up, arm around her
waist
Seven hundred feet drop everything
and hold girl, working steering appa
ratus with both feet.
Be careful, when you alight, not to
come down near a church. In the ex
citement of the occasion you may for
get yourself and marry the girl.
Many fatal accidents have resulted In
Ihla manner. Puck.
A Little Mixed.
Admiral Evans, at a luncheon In
Ban Francisco, said of a naval policy
he disliked:
"It Is mixed and illogical. It re
minds me of Bob Backstay, who be
came engineer on a submarine.
" 'Bob,' said a friend, 'don't you find
tt dangerous work, this knocking
about In a submarine deep beneath
the sea?'
" Tea, very dangerous,' Backstay
admitted, 'but a man's got to do some
thing, you know, to keep his head
above water.' "
Absent-Minded.
The professor had Just sneezed for
the thirtieth time, and It naturally at

"What's the matter with the profes
