SMALL CHAT WITH LARGE BOTS Haks Waddell gays Sleeplnir Vsiler Crasy Qallt Cracked Him. Ruhe Wsddell, who has received more ad vertising than any other ball player since Mike Kelly and Arlle Latham, Is lf ted with an acute sense of humor, as any of his ball playing companions can testify, says an exchange. The clever George Edward is a fellow of many parts, and no one can be found who would be willing to testify on oath that the big Rube Is not eccentric The speedy ptlcher Is also witty In hla eccentrlolt v. As a gay cut-up the big Philadelphia twirler has no peer. He stands alone in a class. LaBt August, when the Athlctlos were playing In Washington, during their prao tloe time, Oeorge fcjward Waddell was en gaged In carrying on his monkey shines, much to the delight of the spectators, when Dr. Mike Powors half laughingly asked Rube: "What the dlokens makes you so foolii.i, EdT" "I don't know." replied Waddell, "except It came about through my tether msklnc me sleep under a crasy quilt when I v. uu a hoy." The Pittsburg bsse ball club announces tho retirement of First Baseman Joe Nea lon of California from tho National league frame, as the young San Franclsoo giant las declined to be considered In any deal the Pittsburg club might choose to make and will play ball only Saturdays and Sundays In San FranolHco. The Pittsburg team has decided to keep him on the re serve list, so that should he desire to re enter professional organized ball at any tim in the future Pittsburg will have a good claim on him. ' According to the Pittsburg club, Neslon was the worst lemon ever plucked In Cali fornia by a big league club. Two years ago Manager Clarke and a representative of Qarry Herrmann raced across the con tinent to land the ball playing wonder of Ban Francisco, Cincinnati losing .the race oy a few hours. The player was barged by Pittsburg at a high salary and bonus. During the last season Nealou developed tralta which did not suit the fittsburg management and he was taken oft first base entirely as the end of the season drew near. On one occasion he was left at horns while the team went around the circuit. Nealon was placed on the bargain counter by Pltburg last August, Ty Cobb, the real nifty kid when It comes to the swatting business, has one ambition besides being a crack base ball player. He wants to be a good clog dancer. Ty spends a good deal of his sparo time In learning new fancy steps, and It Is said tnai tne ciever aoutnern bail player Is really a finished artist In the stye of danc ing that appeals to him. But of course his base ball associates have fun at the kid's expense, and al though they know that he Is really a clever 'performer In the Jig line, yet he would be the last person to hear It from their lips. Just before the world's championship series, and while the Detroit club was rest, ing for those nerve racking games, Ty Cobb was one morning going through some fantastic steps, when big Bsm Crawford hapTBin'd to ceme Into the room. "What do you think of these foot move ments, Samt" geyly cried Cobb, as he went through some airy steps fsr the edification ef his big teammate. "You'd be a swell dancer, Ty," said Sam, In the slow manner he has of peak ing, "were It not for two things." 'And what eld two things ero they?" cried Cobb, as ho paused. "Your feet." retorted Crawford, as he hastily backed out of the room. Boath America After Game. ITHACA. N. Y.. Dec. .

GRASS DIAMOVD !(o More Dust CInads a. tVfnton Street Park. Omaha base hall fans will watch the game played In Omaha next summer on smooth green swath, for Pa Kourke has a large force of men taking advantage of the pleasant weather to sod the diamond at Vinton street park, so that by the time the dickey birds begin to chirp in the spring this sod should begin to assume beautiful green tinge and be as smooth as a floor whan tne base bail season opens. "When 1 stood In the grandstand one Sunday last summer," said Pa at the Smoke Houeo, "and saw the patrons of the game literally driven from tho south stand by the dust which was blown from tho diamond, I determined then and there to have a grass Infield next summer. Den ver Is the only other city in our league which has a grass diamond at present, but I think others will .come to It. as it Is the real thing. The fielders have to be quicker on the clay surface, as the ball travels a little faster, but on the whole I think th grass will be far more satisfactory to uJ concerned. We watered the field before the game last year, but that did no good as the sun soon dried ths surface Into a dust, which blew Into the stunds. I am going to sod the whole .thing, clear to the stands, ana will have as pretty a Hold any- In the country." as Pa says he will also extend the grand- stana aoout- im reel to tne north thl spring, which will enlarge the stands just that much and will also cut down the west bleachers to some extent, although these will be extended to the north fencs. The additlen to the grandstand will also furnish a bplnndld stand for the large foot ball games which aro being planned for next mil. Pa is still negotiating several trades or Dan players, out has none for enough along to uiaKO puouc ar. present. WITH THE BOWLERS.

WOMAN WHO KNEW LORD BYRON at Aa. of Ninety Ela-at. It Is believed that the last surviving person who had a speaking acquaintance with Lord Byron died a few weeks ago la Sydney, Australia. She was 98 years old, the widow of a British army officer and colontan official, but a native of Greece. Kathaiina Pleasos was born In Mlaso loughl In 1SC8. The grest English post was a frequent visitor at her uncle's house during his residence In that place In 1823 and 1M24. Kainarlna was practically a young woman at 14 years old Levatlne girls mature early and Byron took a fancy to her. Of course, he filled a large space In her young Imagination. He was the national aero of the time, he was a poet, be was handsome, and as she always said In telling of her acquaintance with him, he had a fascination of manner that no ons could resist. After Byron's death. In 124. the Plessoa family became the objects of political per secution and had to flee from Missoloughl to Kalsmos, one of the Ionian Inlands then under British rule. It was there Kstharlna met Captain Crummer, who had fought all through the Peninsular campaigns snd had beta present at Waterloo. Though only 16 years old she became hla brld In 183. In 1835 his regiment, the Twenty-eighth In fantry, In which he was now msjor, was St-ut to Australia and the couple went with It. Five years later, when It was ordered to India, Major Crummer resigned and was made a police magistrate In the colony. He held the post until 1844 and died In 1SU7. Ills widow never returned lo Europe, though she survived him forty years.

Hill Sayi They Will Assist in Development of Waterways; ADDRESS CAUSES ENTHUSIASM Con Kress man Barton and Governor Johnson of Minnesota Also Address" Conferones i iCsnaos Against . . . Bonds. WASHINGTON, D. C Deo. . A feature yesterday of the tRlvers and Harbors con gress convention now In session In this city was the address delivered today by James J. Hill as president of the Great Northern Railway company, who was Introduced to the congress as "a wizard of transporta tion and one of the greatest railroad build ers In the world." Mr. Hill created great enthusiasm among the 1600 delegates by declaring that the railroads of the country would support cordially auy proper plan for the development of the legitimate waterways of the United States. He said that the trafflo of the conutry has become so great and was Increasing so trsmende pusly that It was beyond the physical powor of the railroads to handle it. He made a most Important and significant statement of the attitude of the railroad men towards legislation which has been directed against rail carriers in America and declared that all the railroads asked was permission to conduct their business in a proper way, under fair regulations and fair laws. Notable addresses also were delivered to ths congress by govsruors of states and by other men prominently identified with the political and commercial life Of ' the nation. Among those present today at the sessions of the convention were aoores of members of congress, upon whom it Is ths destr. ef the convention that Its Ideas be paytioularly Impressed. The convention will conclude Its work tomorrow by the adoption of a series of resolutions Incor porating its Idsa that a comprehensive national scheme for the improvement or ine Internal waterways of the country should be crystallised. Into law. Governor Johnson Speaks. Governor John A. Johnson ef Minnesota delivered one of the most scholarly ad dresses that yet has been heard. He pointed out that the trafflo of this coun try already bad overburdened the railroads and that the only relief was through the medium of water transportation. The de velopment of American waterways would solve the problem. Governor Johnson dwelt particularly upon the development of the transportation fa cilities of the Great Lakes and quoted sta tistics showing how that development hsd been of Incalculable benefit to the great states of the northwest. No expenditure of money ever made by the national gov ernment, he declared, had paid so great returns as that expended on the develop ment of the Great Lakes. "The country must be developed," said he, "along the lines of the great Internal. waterways, because the railroads admit tedly have reached the limits of their sbll Itles in the transportation of the trafflo offered, unless there should be a further expenditure on the railroads of the coun try of more than 6,00O.0U0.OO0. which Is manifestly out of the question." Governor Johnson urged that all projects for the Improvement of the Internal water ways should rest on principles as broad as the nation Itself. . . : ' President Bansdell presented to the convention James J. Hill, president of the Great Northern Railroad company, as "a perfect wizard of transport. i.j and ad mittedly one ef the grea-'it rtilroad builders of the world." rifteen-Voot Chaaarl.

"It follows," said Mr. Hill, "that we must prepare to utilise the waterways of thS ' country as common carriers, and to this end one ef the projects that we must see carried to a conclusion Is that of a channel from St. Louis to New Or leans of at least a depth of fifteen feet, and eighteen feet would be twice aa good. While the traffic of this country is In creasing at ths rate of 12 per cent an nually, the ability of the carriers of that traffic Is Increasing only 1 per cent an nually. It would be necessary for us to build immediately 75.000 miles of new railroads in order to adsquately meet the trafflo-conditions of tho country." Mr. Hill said that such a task, Jn present conditions, would be almost Impossible on account of the dlffloulty in obtaining proper terminals, the necessary cash with which to construct the roads, and the labor with whh-h to build them. It was evident, he said, that more points of export were needed and that these couldt be obtained only through the utilisation of the water ways. He believed that the construction of a ship channel between the lakes and the gulf would do more toward relieving tho trafflo' congestion ef the northwest than any other one thing. Calling atten tlon to the fact that during The last few years the increase of railroad mileage in this country had been 22.7 per cent, while the increase of trafflo had amounted to 126.4 per cent,. Mr. Hill said the. wonder was that the entire business of ths coun try had not been paralyzed, because the railroads nearly had exhausted their re sources for publlo service. He pointed out, too, that freight rates continually were increasing. This, he believed, was the rea son for the withdrawal of much capital from railroad building and he ssld that It would be necessary, in some wsy, to re move this lack of confidence before much could be dona to promote railroad con struction. "In seeking relief," said Mr. Hill, "we naturally must turn 'to the waterways of the country, and I believe they are about to emerge Into an era of great usefulness. The overtaxed railroads must be supple mented by every possible method of water transportation. Nature has Indicated that the commerce of the great middle West should be carried to a large extent by the Mississippi river, snd this highway consti tutes the most natural exit out ef our pres ent transportation dilemma." Mr. lllll said that it would be necessary to provide a sufficient channel for the car rying of vessels of large capacity. "No craft that floats." said he. "which carries only 1,000 tons can compete with a TOT 1 11 iniillnlitMiU.
