MIK NORFOLK \VBKKLL NKWS - JOrUNAL. FRIDAY. MAY 27 , 11)10. )
UMPIRES BELIEVE WHAT
CLYDE MILAN SAYS.
Clyde Milan , the Washington
American's clever outllclder , Is
one of the few pUyers In whom
the umpires have Implicit confi
dence. This was Illustrated In
the sixth Inning of a recent
game with New York. Milan
was barely touched by n pitched
ball and ran down to llrst. The
New York players protested.
Evaim called Milan hack to the
plate , and , thinking that Evans
wan not going to allow his claim
of having been hit , Milan start
ed to pick up his bat.
"Did that ball hit you , Clyde ? "
Inquired Umpire Evans.
"Ye ; It Just touched my
idiirt , " was the reply.
"Well , then , take your base , "
ordered Evans.
JEFF CAN'T COME BACK.
So Bays Dllly Dalaney , Hla Old Man-
ager.
Hilly Delaney , tlio veteran manager
and the man who made Jeffries the
heavyweight champion of the world ,
docH not believe that the big fellow
can come back. Although he has not
Been Jeffries lu his recent workouts ,
lie has watched his movements very
closely since the former champion
started out on his theatrical tour , and
now Delaney has about come to the
conclusion that Jeff has bitten off a
larger hunk than he can chew.
"Those severe sweating spells are
bad for the big fellow , and , lu my
opinion , they show signs of Internal
weakness , " said Delaney. "Jeffries
never can come back and fight If ho
stiffens up and sweats , falls to respond
to rubbing and treatment , as they tell
me he does. It's too much to think
that a man of his build can stay out
of the game for IIvo years and then
expect to come on and regain his lost
speed. I may be mistaken , but 1 huvo
had forty years of experience with the
best of them , and 1 can't see where
Jeff Is an exception.
"This statement coming from me
may not bo taken seriously by men
who know that Jeff and I Imvo split
up , but nevertheless I am giving my
candid opinion of the big fellow.
When I had him he waa like a bull ,
and he never stiffened up. Ills perspi
ration was natural , and his excess
weight always came off slowly , but
surely. He never worried while In
training camp. He was a hard man to
manage , hut what I said generally
went , although I used to have many
n tough old time trying to make him
do as I wanted.
"I have not seen Jeff In training , and
I don't want to. We have parted for
ever. "
WELSH FEELS CONFIDENT.
Britain Believes He Will Have No
Trouble Defeating McFarland.
Freddie Welsh , England's light
weight champion. Is HO confident of de
feating I'aekey McFarland of Chicago
at the National Sporting club of Lon
don the night of May . ' ! 0 that he has
announced his Intention of meeting
young Josephs , the Hritlsh welter
weight champion. In a bout for tlio
hitter's title As a matter of fact
Welsh has already laid claim to tlio
welterweight title for the reason that
he whipped Josephs In eleven rounds
at Mountain Ash , In Wales , last July.
Josephs was not the welterweight
champion at that time , and , besides ,
Welsh wen on a foul. Since then Jo
sephs has beaten the recognized title
holder , while Welsh has secured clear
right to be called lightweight cham
pion , having received Lord Lonsdale'a
belt.
Jim Jeffries Is Three Men , Saya
McCoy.
"Jeffries Is three men In one , "
Is the comment of Kid McCoy ,
"lie has the strength and vital
ity to lit out half a dozen fight
ers like myself. What the man
who knows nothing about light
ers falls to realizeIs that Jef
fries Is wholly unlike any tight
er within the recollection of any
living man He Is so tough and
hard that blows that would end
another /heavyweight's career
have no effect upon him , while
with his enormous strength and
vitality he can slam home a
punch that will win him his
light after he has been lighting
for hours and when another man
would be so exhausted that he
couldn't hit hard enough to dent
a chocolate eclair.
"That retirement for five years
hasn't done any harm , either.
He has been doing some drink
ing In all likelihood , but not
enough to affect that wonderful
vitality of his , and. unlike other
lighters , ho hasn't been knockIng -
Ing around Indulging In all sorts
of dissipation. He is married
and domestic In his tastes , and
tlio quiet sort of life he has been
leading has kept him just as fit
for a light as he was when ho
retired. "

While tlio prospects of the teams In
tlio major leagues will bo a subject of
Interest to baseball enthusiasts even
If as far removed from the games na
Is New York from San Francisco , the
possibilities of the season of 1010 can
not be reviewed without the minor
league situations being sl/.ed up.
In the smaller organizations man
agers of the teams have a harder task
than those In the big circuits. Tin
manager of a club In the major leagued
can stand pat on his team if lie chooses
to , but such is not the case within the
minors. Every year big Inroads are
made hi nearly every club , and the
stars are gobbled up by the big
leaguers. When the time comes for
the manager of the minor league cluli
to make up his team for the season ha
has to do some great scouting before
he can get together a winning combl-
nation. Every year intense interest is
displayed in the lights for the much
coveted gonfalon in the smaller cir
cuits. In the some thirty odd minor
leagues In organized baseball there Is
represented an Invested capital of
$ 0.000,000 , and last season over 24-
000,000 people attended the games.
In splto of the scattered discussion
during the winter to the effect that the
American association might put up a
firebrand and toss it into organized
baseball , there is nothing which would
Indicate that the minors will not enjoy
nioro nrosperlty than over before.
American Association.
In the American association another
grand struggle Is anticipated. From
present Indications the second division
teams of last season will be heard
from this year. St. Paul , Toledo , Co
lumbus and Kansas City have all been
strengthened up so much that the first
division Is beginning to get nervous
as to Its welfare.
Manager Carr of Indianapolis has
succeeded In gathering together an
Imposing array of baseball talent and
by many Is looked upon as the one
best bet for the ( lag this season Ills
material , judging from the records , Is
classy , but it Is on the field and not
on paper that strength counts.
The Minneapolis club appears to be
just as .strong a hitting club as that
of last season and a far better field
Ing aggregation.
Columbus has landed many good
ones , and Manager Frlel figures hla
f -T'J

team will be In the hJiit this season.
Manager McCloskey of Milwaukee ,
whose team finished second last year ,
has a formidable aggregation to han
dle this year nnd says he will make
them all hustle to beat It out. To
ledo funs are placing their hopes
on "Ducky" Holmes , the new man
ager of the team. Many changes have
been made In the St. Paul team since
last year , and on paper the club ap
pears stronger than last season.
Many critics figure that Danny Shay
will give the Kansas City fans a pen
nant winning team this season. Lou
Isvllle , last year's pennant winner ,
looks good on paper. Judging by pres
ent Indications th * hottest race this
season in the history of the associa
tion Is expected.
Eastern League.
As Is the case every year , many
Eastern League clubs huvo parted
wit n tnelr stars to the major leagues ,
but as there Is always a plentlfulness
of good material on hand to whip to
gether a winning combination the loss
of these men will not weaken the ma
jority of teams.
Manager John Oanzcl and his Koch-
Chester band of hustlers nre surely In
line for another Hag. "Silent John"
has corralled many good ones and will
make his rival go some to beat him
out.
Although big Inroads have been
made In Joe McOlnnlty's Newark team
since last season ho has good material
on hand to whip together a wluulnp
combination.
Joe Kelley , manager of the Torontc
club , has been hard at work with the
COUOIILIN , PILOT OP WILLIAMS-
1'OilT CLUII.
team since the men started training.
Joe tried his best to get Willie Keeler
to sign a contract at a fat salary , but t
"Willie the wee" llgures he has many r
more major league seasons In him.
Kelley has many veterans on the team
and will surely make a good fight for
the banner. Buffalo and Providence
are sure to be much stronger than they
were last year.
Manager Jack Ryan of Jersey City
says he is confident that he will have
a first division ball club this season.
Ryan has had twenty-four years' ex
perience In baseball and should be able
to look out for himself In any deals
pulled off.
Although Baltimore made a very
poor showing In 11)09 ) , Manager Dunn
is sure that the Orioles will make n
much better showing In this season' ?
race.
Another hot light Is expected in the
Southern association. Last year's flghl
was a good one , and another Is in or
dor. The four leading teams of lasl
M a.son have not been weakened tc
nny great extent by the major leagues
Atlanta , winner of last year's banner
\ashville. the runner up : Montgomery
and New Orleans , that finished thlrc
.mil fourth respectively , are ready t <
put up a strong light.
The outlook for the season in th <
Tri-state league is most promising
Ownuis and managers declare tha' '
this year's race will be every bit as
interesting as the one in 1009. Mart ;
Hogan and Ills Lancaster team are ou

Dr. Ray Has Stormy Trip.
On board S. S. "Cretlc , " April 2fi
The steamship the Crotlc bnttlei
against a very stormy voyage ; for si :
days the northeast wind blow n con
stant gale so that wo have had a vor ;
rough passage , the ship's crew said I
was one of the worst voyages tha
they had ever had. After nine day :
wo anchored at Azoro islands nt tin
capital , Ponta Delgadn , being one da ;
late on our schedule.
We reached this pert safely but the
storm was still unabated. Here wo
anchored for live hours ntul against
the warning and ndvlco of the ship's
commander , John II. Kolk , about thlr-
ty-ll\o passengers took the small en-
noes and were rowed ashore ono mile
from our ship ; among the number was
The News reporter and ono of Ills
party , Mrs. II. F. Dally. Canton. O.
This was a dangerous trip as It was
raining very hard and the breakers
tossed our little canoe like n feather ,
but I ventured for the benefit of the
readers of The Norfolk Dally News.
A word about these Islands : The
Azores or Western Islands are lu mid-
ocean , 2,250 miles southeast of New
York City. They nre nine In number
and we wore nine days in reaching
them. The largest of the group Is St.
Michael's , which Is thirty-live miles
long and nine miles wide , and has a
population of 129,956 Inhabitants.
These Islands are out of the beat
en path of tourists and so are more
Interesting. They have n. total popu
lation of 257.-I62 , and wcro discovered
In 1 ISO by Uoncnlo Velho Cnbrnl who
was under orders from Portugal. St.
Michael's was settled in 11IJ or 161
years before the United States. The
Islands are mountainous , the highest
peak , Pico da Vuru Is 5,000 feet high.
| The climate is mild and temperate.
The lowest temperature Is 51 degrees
fahrenholt and the hottest Is 38 de
grees lahrenheit.
Thus this is a country In which
there is no snow or even frost. Port
ugal has conlro' ' of these Islands and
the Portuguese' is the principal lan
guage . As I speak ( iennnn and Ital
ian I was easily understood. Ponta
Delgadn , the capital of the Azores has
20,000 Inhabitants and was raised to
the rank of a city in 1516 and besides
Lisbon and Oporto , Is the most im
portant city of Portugal. The people
nre of a very kindly disposition , given
to hard work and are clean and or
derly. They are respectful , polite and
without propensity for crime. There
are today only six prisoners In the jnll
at Ponta Delgada. As to the time In
this city when it is midday it Is 0:47 :
a. in. in Norfolk. The money lluctu-
ates in value but American money Is
i
! taken , the $1 passing for $1 and often
j for $1.25. Their smallest native coin
Is 5 reis , worth half a cent In our
money.
Hotels range from $1 to $2.50 pel
day , but are not modern or conveni
ent. Here nre a few prices of food
products : Bread , 5 cents per loaf ;
eggs , 18 cents per dozen ; milk , 27
cents per gallon ; sugar , 19 cents per
. pound ; beef , 19 cents per pound ; but
ter , 44 cents per pound , and petrole-
urn , 76 cents per gallon.
These Islands are very fertile and
. productive and every foot of the soil
is farmed and produces corn , wheat ,
flax , beans , potatoes , figs , peaches ,
pears , oranges , bananas , and In 190C
they exported 1,352,527 pineapples , the
most of these being sold in Hamburg
and London. The chief imports into
the islands are sugar , coffee , rice , tea
. salt , coal , leather , flour , glass , tobacco
petroleum and linen goods.
8' ' I met the American consul , G. H
Pickerell , who is a polite and fine gen
tleman. The principal churches arc
the Matrlz and the San Jose. This Int
tcr has very line wood carvings whicl
would be a credit to any community
These two are Roman Catholic church
es ; then the Protestants have a line
beautiful church largely supported b >
many who do not adhere to the Cath
ollc church.
Ponta Delgada is as good as the av
erage oriental city. The streets nre
paved , but are narrow ; the buildings
are of stone and brick and the pre
vailing colors are red , yellow and
white ; the streets are clean but , alas
0 for the people , the most of them , are
so very poor ; as we drove about we
e
saw so many men , women , boys and
girls who were barefooted , even nt t
t
services in the beautiful churches.
8 There are a Inrge number of public
pnrks in the city , but thrf Botanical
gardens nre among the most beautl-
ful In the world. The plnnts , flowers ,
trees nnd drives cnnnot bo fully de
scribed becnuse of their- rich foliage ,
11
nnd the nlr Is flavored with ambrosial
fragrance. There is some manufactur
ing such as beer , soap , linens , household -
' hold utensils nnd terrn-cottn Jars.
The Collegia Acorlano is n very
flourishing educntional university.
1 One commendable institution for the
poor people is tiie Sopa Economlca ,
which furnishes soup to the destitute
at 20 rois ( two cents ) . It is main-
talnod by prlvnte contributions , which
nre liberal nnd always sufllcient. 1
count myself most fortunate that 1
have seen these tropical oriental
islands , for as soon as the Panama
canal Is completed Ponta Delgada will
become one of the Important ports ol
the world , for It will bo on a direct
line west and east for a coaling sta
tion and changing for other steamers. .
Last night we had a song service In
the dining room , which was much en
joyed. Up to the 24th of April , when
wo reached the Azores , the weather
was very cold , but now It is quite
warm and the sun shines brightly.
Our ship carries n fine orchestra ,
which gives live concerts every day ,
which helps to keep people both happy
and cheerful.
Leaving the Azores thousands of
sea gulls followed our ship , hungering
after what food may bo thrown off the
ship , but I am persuaded that the land
gulls , In the United States , that prey
upon the unsophisticated people , arc
far more ravenous and more to be 3
shunned than nil the sea gulls of nil 1
the oceans.
Our next stop will be nt Funchal ,
the capltnl of the Madeira Islands ,
These are 528 miles southeast of the
Azores and 2,778 miles southeast ol
Now York city. We shall no doubt
reach the above port one day late , on
April 26.
With best wishes I am , the foreign
y correspondent for The Norfolk Dally
News.
ClmrlcH Wnyne Hay ,
On Crotlc , 2,500 miles from Now
York city.
On Board S. S. Cretlc , April 21. H
has been very exciting during the last
two days , for our steamship , the Cro
tlc , has battled against a terrible
northeast gale and the passengers
have about nil been sick.
We are In mid-ocean , that Is. 1,48(5 (
miles from Now York city , but are lateen
on account of the very rough sea.
Last night the wind swept the up
per deck and one life snvlng boat was
smashed into smithereens while today
constant rain has followed us. Well
nay we sigh as the poet ,
'Far from the shore , far from the
trembling throng
am borne darkly , fearfully afar. "
Thus we recall another's Idea of n
storm at sea
'Down came the storm and smote
amain
The vessel In Its strength ;
She shuddered and paused like a
frightened steed ,
Then leaped her cable's length. "
But this Is ocean life. Ono day fh"e
waves are unblemished and look like
\ sheet of glass ; the next It appears
Ike n vast region of mountain peaks ,
each one snow capped and frost
Downed. And then the bounding
lireczc and rushing billows send forth
i musical strain Unit Is peculiar to
: he cHPiin. Many of the passengers
mvo been seasick ; among the llrst
class cabin passengers are llfty-llve
men and 181 women. This is our fifth
day out , and on two ( pilot days the
games of cricket , billboard nnd shuf-
llebonrd have been popular amuse
ments. Wo have as passengers law
yers , doctors , teachers , bankers , news-
imper correspondents , ministers and
> ther noted professional people.
1 think I have a very pleasant party
of tourists , the most of whom are
young people , full of life and vigor ,
just on the verge of taking up life's
responsibilities.
From Canton , Ohio , Is Mrs. J. B.
Brothers and her daughter , Miss Lou
ise. Mr. Brothers owns the largest
hardware store In Canton and Is a
man of large affairs. Also , Mrs. II. F.
Daily , whose husband Is the most
prominent insurance man in the city
and Mrs. J. V. T. Walker and her twc
daughters , Misses Justine and Merlan
Mr. Walker Is with the largest bank
ing house in Canton. Then I have llvt
from El Paso , Tex. Mr. and Mrs. Ho
man Myles and children , Ernest am :
Misses Alice and Kathleen. Mr. Myles
Is n banker and millionaire cattle king
of Texas.
This outline will show my friends
what a very line class of people I an
conducting ; they are cultured , agree
able and pleasant.
Just n word about our big ship : I
is G02 feet long , sixty feet wide , forty
two feet deep nnd has n tonnage o
13,518. She Is the steadiest steame
of the White Star line , which is now
owned by J. P. Morgan.
There are two other tourist par
ties on board , the University Trave
Bureau and the H. W. Dunning & Co
of Boston , which is conducted by Mr
Henry Wood , who two years ago was
the chief reporter on the Omaha Dnllj
News , but now is on the Cinclnnat
Post.
Last Sunday we had the Episcopa
church service , as this is an Englisl
manned ship , and I attended the ser
vice , as did most of the passengers
nnd got real sick , but of course I dk
not attribute this to the Episcopa
service.
Other prominent people on board
are Dr. F. J. Kellogg of Detroit , who
is the patent medicine man who
spends $250,000 yearly In advertising
his medicines ; Vlcomtesse Benois
D'Azy , Dr. nnd Mrs. H. B. Kurtz o
Cleveland , the humorist-lecturer Prof
Ralph Binglmm and his wife. Othe
noted people are on the Cretlc also
Then there are a great many bus
ness men who nre off for n short trip
to rest nnd recuperate. I met on
man who said he would remain abront
only five days , going especially for th
sen voynge.
The service on the ship Is good nm
nil the dainties of the season are fur
nished for the guests. Among thos
that attracted me is spring chicken
This big steamer is really like a floal
Ing city , with nil the conveniences o
most modern homes. A fine library 1
at the service of the passengers. W
have the use of the Marconi wireles
telegraph nnd hnve hnd message
from other ships. We more readily
get nu idea of how large the world 1
and how wide the ocean when yo
hnve traveled for ten days nnd hav
not oven sighted Innd. On our shl
nre people froui almost every Innd
nnd clime , with their various cos
tumes nnd different manners , so tha
there Is nlwnys something new nm
strange. Then the people In the steerage
ago ever nnd nnon present a constan
study for the sociologist nnd econo
mist , for among these you will se
the poor. Ignorant , the gnmbler , th
anarchist , the foreigner who has mad
his fortune In the United States am
Is returning to his own native Inm
to live in ease nnd luxury nnd live
like n king. I mot n 'young man who
was born In the Azores who has been
In tht United States and has worke (
up to a salary of $20 weekly , who
told me Hint it would hnve taken him
twenty years to work up to such a
position in the Azores , but In tlio
United States ho has worked up to
this within two years. This shows
the remnrknble opportunities to b
found In America.
Mrs. H. F. Dally of Canton , O. , ha
just favored us with some beantlfu
vccnl selections. She Is a member o
the choir of the First Methodist Epis
copal church , the McKlnloy church
She often sang for the martyred pros !
dent when ho wns n member of the

Although the storm has been fierce
nnd our ship tins been terribly tossed
nd wind-driven , yet the people nro
hccrful and seem unconcerned about
he great dangers that may be near
hem yet unknown.
