FANS HOPE FOR BEST NOW
I 'act That Indian Takes Kindly to
Advice and Is Well Liked by
His Brother Players, Leads
to Belief He'll "Land."
BY ROSCOB PAWCETT.
Kismet, that golden-guided hand of
fate, is now bestirring itself . in the
case of James Thorpe, famous Indian
athlete, and, as a result, the baseball
world will show more than passing in
terest In the box scores of the Toronto
team of the International League.
Thorpe, it may be explained, has been
turned over to Toronto by the New
Tork Giants, after
a. year on the bench.
Fans are. inter
ested in Thorpe be
cause of his
achieve ments in
other lines of ath
letic endeavor and
also because of Me
O raw's efforts to
mold him into a
baseball star. They
are more than ever
concerned now be
cause Muggsy Mo
ll raw says the
world's tour "made"
the redskin.
The New Tork
manager is risking his reputation on
the aborgine. Hence, it is not improb
able that New Tork etill holds a string
on Thorpe and will yank him back,
inannikin-like, in the Kali harvest. So
. there is that added stimulant.
When McGraw signed Thorpe one
year ago, the Indian had not played
ball except with a bush town team and
then only long enough to have his ama
teur medals swept away wrom the dis
covery thereof.
He sat all last season on the Giant
bench, nor did he shine when given
an occasional turn in the outfield.
Portland fans who watched him In the
game here November 17, on the afore
mentioned tour, will agree that he
looked hopeless.
But, there's that tour talk of Mc
Graw's. "He" had a chance to work in big
games and before big crowds," re
marked McGraw recently, "and it did
him a lot of good. He fielded well, hit
well, and ran the bases like a streak.
1 predict that he will develop into the
greatest baserunner the game has ever
seen." t
One thing in the Indians' favor is
that he takes kindly to advice and is
well liked by his brother players.
"Thorpe is not muscle-bound. He is a
big, good-natured, loose-jointed, loose
limbed marvel of strength and quick
ness, and with the natural adaptabil
ity that kmade him the greatest all
around track and field athlete, work
ing 24 hours per day in his favor.

General Huerta Hogan, that famous
Mexican subaltern, will be here today,
and,- from personal telegrams ex
changed between the General and
Charge d' Affairs McCredle, it is appar
ent that Hogan will not salute the flag.
If he .remains adamant a little cut

be necessary.
At any rate Impresario Metzger will
be there with his leashed dogs of war

"Salute or sink.
Back In dear old New Tawk they are
claiming the mid-
dlewcight title for
Al McCoy,, whose
unexpected defeat
of George Chip a
fortnight ago
startled the sport
ing fraternity. .
.Many aro the ar
guments propound
ed favoring McCoy's
right to the middle
crown. We. how
ever, are inclined
to the view that should McCoy, or Al
bert Rudolph, as he is known In the
family Oift of the Gideons, tangle with
such well-known pillow exponents as
Eddie McGoorty, James Cop-Eradica-tor
Clabby. Billy Murray cr T-Uke Gib
bons, his yelpa would be considerably
toned down.
Chip's claim is founded on his two
knockouts over Krank Klaus, who in
turn won from Papke and Carpentier.
However, Jack Dillon, Clabby and Mc
Goorty have always disputed Klaus'
right to the title, bo McCoy's win over
Chip does not bring him a warranty
deed, by any means.
It does give him. though, it must be
said, clear title to mix with any of the
big fellows in the merry, merry scram
ble after the middleweight belt.
Some men we would like to see at
Tamplco:
"Doo" "White. Babe Borton, Roy Hitt,
Dickey Bayless, Johnny Kane and
"Rowdy" Elliott.
Nobody wants to see these afore
mentioned gentlemen fall in the fury
of tlie fray, but, why not make the
Mexicans as unhappy as possible?
Ivan Howard is considered one of
the greatest or minor league ballplay
ers by Arthur Devlin, Oakland chief.
Ballplayers en route back from the
majors generally bring between 11500
and $2500 in kale, but Devlin exceeded
the speed limit in the case of the ex-
Angel outfielder.
He tempted the St. Louis Browns
with a cool offer of $3500, while here
last week, but was turned down.
Howard was drafted last Fall from
Los Angeles, so the brew city folk
haven't altogether final say as to hi
uisposai. ir Be is returned this year
jos Angeles will get first chance, at
tne draft price. $2500.

BEST 'Ml 1AKES BRIDE
"MAKE-BELIEVE" COWBOY SOUGHT
BY IRATE FATHER.
Broken-Hearted Bridegroom Receives
News of Elopement on Back of
Hla Own Invitation.
CHICAGO, April 13. When Charles
Lodolce was asked to be best man at
the wedding of Domonick Gorgo, be
trothed to Lulu DeBett, he decided the
leading role would be more pleasing.
Lodolce took It. He who was to
have been best man became the bride
groom. The rejected bridegroom be
came broken-hearted. And it all hap
pened at the same time. ,
Lodolce said be was a ranchman
and chased cows in Oklahoma. He had
a. picture taken at a "make-you-any-thlng"
photograph gallery, which
proved it. Gorgo was just a plain Chl
cagoan and didn't have half a chance.
Miss DeBett was reported missing.
Her father, Michael DeBett. declared
she had intended visiting some of her
bridesmaids, but bad not reached her
destination. But Lulu knew the dif
ference between a real live cowboy
and a plain Chicagoan, for she had
seen the movies.
She was married at St. Louis to the
"ranchman."
The malls brought a note to the
girl's mother. It was written on the
back of. an engraved, wedding invita
tion, the one which said that Lodolce
was to be the bridegroom.
"I am broken - hearted," said the
jilted man.
Then he looked at the note again.
His nerve commenced to come back.
A neighbor rushed in with a St. Louis
newspaper. There was a brief account
of the wedding, saying in part:
"Miss Lulu DeBett, from Chicago,
and Charles Lodolce, a millionaire
stove dealer from Brooklyn, N. T., were
married."
"A stove dealer!" cried Gorgo. "I
thought he was a ranchman! Ah, ha!
Then he is a fake! I'll get him!"
A half-hour later a warrant was Is
sued by Municipal Judge Wells, charg
ing the best man- to-have-been with
abduction. The father, rushed to the
court by the broken-hearted but en
couraged suitor, swore to the com
plaint.
Police at St. Louis failed to locate
the couple. Detectives at Brooklyn
are looking for a wealthy stove dealer
with a 17-year-old bride. Shirt-sleeved
Sheriffs down in Oklahoma are look
ing for a bashful, but determined
ranchman with a young wife.
The bridegroom - to - have - been Is
looking everywhere, and just hoping.

RYAN'S RECORD YET HOLDS
Hamilton, Ontario, Again Captures
Run of Boston Athletic Assoda
- tlon Winner Goes 25 Miles in
2 Hours - 5 Minutes 1 Second.
BOSTON', April 20. Canadian run
ners, headed by James Duffy, of Ham
ilton, Out. the favorite in the event,
outfooted and outlasted their Ameri
can competitors in the eighteenth
marathon run of the Boston Athletic
Association today.
Duffy covered the 25 miles of rolling
roadway in two hours, 25 'minutes and
one second.
Two years ago M. J. Ryan, of New
Tork, established th course record of
two hours, 21 minutes, 18 1-5 seconds.

than three minutes elapsed before the
first American, John M. Lordan, of
Cambridge,, reached the finish,' with
Walter Bell, of Montreal, coming up
strong for fourth place. The rest of
the prize-winners were Americans.

TALK Oil OF CARDINALS
CANDIDATES TO FILL TWO VACAN
CIES ARB DISCUSSED.
Mgr. Dr. A. Frnehwlrtli Mentioned aa
One Probable Selection and Prince
Max and Bishop Koram as Others.
BERLIN, April 18. Candidates for
Cardinals to fill the two vacancies left
in the Sacred College by the deaths of
Cardinals Kopp and Fisher are being
discussed. At least two German pre
lates are expected to receive the red
hat at the consistory this Spring.
The apostolic nuncio at Munich, Mgr.
Dr. A. Fruehwirth Is prominently men
tioned. Prince Max of Saxony, youngest
brother of the King of Saxony, and now
a professor in the Catholic theological
seminary at Cologne, was at flrs picked
as a probability. But some have elimi
nated him, recalling that he Incurred
the displeasure of the Pope several
years ago by his views on the . Greet"
Orthodox Church, expressed in a pub
lished book.
One of the most likely candidates,
according to reports from Rome, Is
Bishop Korum. of Treves. His name,
however, has been unfavorably received
in government circles with which he
has been in conflict often.
The selection of the right man is be
lieved to be a real problem at the Vati
can. The Pope, it is said, desires to
appoint men who have not been identi
fied with recent political struggles and
who are on good terms with the gov
ernment. The death of Cardinal 'Kopp deprives
the Catholic Church at once of its high
est functionary and its strongest per
sonality In Germany. Kopp played an
important part in restoring amicable
relations between the Vatican and Prus
sia after Bismarck's campaign against
the Catholic Church. In later years
the Emperor recognized his efforts to
promote good relations between Rome
and Berlin by calling him to the Prus
sian peerage and conferring upon him
the order of the Black, Eagle, the high
est Prussian order. It carries with it a
patent of nobility and the right to use
the coveted "von" before the holder's
name, of which, however, the cardinal
never made use. The Emperor further
made him a member of the commission
to reform the Prussian school laws and
entrusted him with other Important
missions.
TWO WAIFS GET HOMES
BOY'S PLEA FOR BABY SISTER IS
CAUSE OF OXE ADOPTIO.V.
Children Become Wards of Wealthy
New York Residents Through Ef
forts of Charities Aid Society.
NEW YORK. April 17. Surrogate
r owler recently consented to the adop
tlon of two children, a baby boy and
a baby girl, into the homes of two
wealthy residents of the city.
The baby boy, named George Taylor,
was born of unknown parents on May
20, 1913. He is now the adopted son
of Mr. and Mrs. Wesley Clair Mitchell,
of 37 West Tenth street. Mr. Mitchell.
who stated in his petition that he is
worth more than $100,000, is professor
of economics at Columbia University.
The baby girl, 2 years and 5 months
old. Is the .adopted daughter of Henry
Balnbrldge Baker, .of 118 West Fifty
firth street, nephew of John S. Ken
nedy, the former millionaire banker.
Through her adopted father she will
share in the Kennedy estate. She Is
known as Marian Blanchard.
The children found new homes
through the aid of the State Charities
Aid Association. Mr. Baker took the
little girl into his home last February
and he and his 13-year-old son, Henry
M. Baker, became so attached to her
that she was adopted. Mr. Baker has
had the custody of his son since he was
divorced from his wife In New Jersey
In October, 1911.
"My boy and I have come to love the
little girl Very much," he informed the
Surrogate. "It Is largely at his request
that I applied for permission to adopt
her. She is a beautiful child and worthy
the love of any parent. Ever since
my little boy was old enough to talk
he has asked me to bring home a little
sister. Even when be grew older he
still talked about it on every Christmas
day. The best I could do to satisfy his
wish was to adopt this little girl. My
son Is now in the Hill School in Penn
sylvanla, and he can scarcely wait until
vacation time to come home and see
his little sister."
Professor Mitchell is 40 years old
He went to Harvard University as a
lecturer from the University of Cali
fornia. From Harvard he was called to
Columbia.
"The matter is a private one," he said
last night. "I do not care to discuss it."

27 Hinsdale street. She admitted that
Deango had also shot at her before.
NEW TAX PAID EAGERLY
Americans in London Make Returns
on Income Without Protest.
LONDON, April 17. American citi
zens in London who come under the
scope of the new income tax law made
their returns at the ConsulaSe with
cheerfulness and alacrity. The returns
are numerous, but do not make a great
sum in the aggregate. The incomes of
the very wealthy Americans residing
here are taxed at the sources, so that
the returns of these are made on the
other Bide.
The heaviest income thus far report
ed at the Consulate is one of $50,000.
The citizen who paid this declared that
the tax was a reasonable charge for
the privilege of being an American cit
izen. This was the tone adopted by most
of the makers of returns, and the staff
of the Consulate, anticipating unwill
ing and protesting citizens, were agree
ably surprised at their attitude.
A resident who paid without grum
bling stated that the few protestanta
against the new tax are Americans who
have taken root here, and who have
clung to their American citizenship for
sentimental or business reasons. Some
of these have been on the point of be
coming British subjects for some time,
and the Imposition of the Income tas
may hasten their decision.

Princeton Savant Believes In Artifi
cial Selection.
NEW TORK. April 18. With the
assertion "that society Is making a
mistake in falling to substitute intelli
gent artificial selecton for natural se
lection in the propagation of the hu
man 'race,' " Professor Conklin, of
Princeton University, one of the fore
most biologists of the world, did not
mince words In declaring his firm be
lief In eugenics. He said:
"The method of evolution In the past
has been the elimination of the unfit;
only in the case of civilized man are
the most unfit as well as the most fit
preserved and given equal opportuni
ties of leaving offspring. The result is
that there has been no Improvement In
heredity.
"The mistake has not been In pre
serving the weak and Incompetent, for
civilized man could not well do other
wise, but in failing to substitute In
telligent artificial selection for natural
selection in the propagation of the race,
in perpetuating the worst lines and
eliminating the best.
"If a superior power would deal with
man as man deals with domestic an
imals, no doubt great improvement
could be effected in the human breed.
Society Is in some respects such a
Standard Oil Company

power, and it Is already undertaking
to limit the reproduction of those who
are socially most unfit."

The Duchess de Mouchy was giving
a dinner party the other evening when
suddenly the door opened and six men
dressed solely In black tights with
black masks entered and after dancing
weird steps for five minutes, left
again. The whole affair passed in per
fect silence and took the hostess com
pletely by surprise.
The uninvited dancers t-en went
through the same pantomime at the
Countess d'Haussonvllle's mansion.
Next it was the turn of the Marquise
d' Indre to be visited, and finally the
Countess de Rougemont. who was Miss

of the black dancers remain a mystery
to every hostess and her guests.
