and ribbons in silit. J tut already,
Recording to reports from tbo land th:.t

ing habits by an exhibition of Yankee
buseball, which also shook t ho crown

have licmm to stall.
Tlia wild enthnsinsm winch amnte'ir
field and track lovers of Kiijjlnnd and
the colonies stirred up for tho first
few mouths following thd Stockholm
yii iiios has since simmered down until
it's as hikowarm as a pot of tea would
get by the tinio tho seven hundredth
innings (thnt "s" belongs there) of a
cricket game rolled by. When it came
tt in o to collect passable coin of the
realm aud actually spend it on hiring
athlotie tminerit who had the ability
to develop the athletes there was lit
tle doing. And it was likewise when
the suggestion was tuadp that Kugla.'nl
go out into her byways to get material.
Nover would it do, t hoy argued, to have
a member of tho common cUishcs mem
bers of' an athletic team that repre
sented England. In Knglaud, yoi
know, Old Top-po, f a man isn't a
"gentleman" he can hardly bo classed
ns an amateur at least it's nearly
that bad. And so England appears to
bo back la the saint old rut.
France Different.
In France It lias been sligltly dif
ferent. Those tenipermental French
men ftarted right off the bat to do the
ttanie -real work, and If France doesn't
hIiow up a whole lot better In 11)15 'A
will be nt range. The reports of Amer
ica's Btoekholm victory wasn't cold on
t he wires until the Frenchman, backed
by the government, had gathered in a ;
great bunch of shekels or francs
and they started to spend the mone
in the right way. They established A
government "College of Athletes" nt
Uheims, and they hired some real ath-j
letic trainers from America. The1
French government appropriated about !
$.10,000, to the "College of Athletes.'
They went even farther. Any man, of - j
f ieer or enlisted man, in the army, who
tdiows promise of developing into an;
nthHe, is "ordered" to take up his,
studies at Khoims. The work is going
on there now in stern earnestness, and
if not in 1U15; then at the next Olym
pics France is bound to be heard from.
- Work very much similar to ihat be-
J i . .. t .. . i ; A.
. JlK uuut? ill f itting la kuuiw i;uiiti u
in 0-)rniaiiy and Bwp-len. The German
government ia showing every eucour
ngomcnt, both financial and moral, to
those who are developing athletes for
the Ilerlin games, and in Sweden they
are using that atndium they built for
the last Olympic as a practice ground
for developing tho Swedish team.
But they have started too late for
the 1015 gsinvx. Tho I'nited States has
too much of a load. Witness the ro
reut amateur iudnoi championship
held at Madison Square Garden, where
thres records wo-re smashed and several
wore were equalled. And be.it reuieit)
Tiered that toma'doton or more, "rec
ord " men whose homes are in the west
land middle west, were not among those
present, and who can bo couuted on foi
points in 1015. '
Kven at that, however, it will never
do to sit back and count tho chicks!
just yet. That $100,000 isn't all sub-j
ncribed, and 100,000 is a lot of money.;
Of course, tier are a lot of missionary '
societies ht claim they need, coutribu-i
tions, but there are also a lot of places'
,whore money might be worae opout.
' Cheese Champs Common.

remarks to make on the cheese fight

And the worst part of it is all of them

521 Court Street Moono Building
BY HAL SHERIDAN.
New .York, April 11. Connio Mack,
manager of the Philadelphia Athletics,
was badly broken up over the recent
death in Texas of "Hube" Waddell;
who twirled the Makian forces to two
pennants. Connio has the reputation of
being tho most tender hearted man in
baseball and his eyes filmod when no
spoke of Waddell 's death.
"In my opinion," said Mack, "Rub,:
was the greatest pitcher the game has
ever known. True ho was eecentria but
he had a heart of gold. Ho was willing
to work his head off at any old timo
and was the best hearted member of
our team. You could not help but like
him.
"Whon any m niher of the team be
came sick ltube was the first to call and
tho last to leave. If he had any money
it was spent for ,4onle gift for the sick
man. Kube was the making of tho
Athletic team. Every follower of th
fjime knows this. He may have failod
us at times but the owners of the Ath
letics owe him much."
Now that tho left hand he injured
in his recent match with Willie Riteh
io in Milwaukeo has healed, Ad Wol
gast has arranged a busy campaign.
He will meet Johnny Tillman in Hud
son, Wis., on April 2,1, and Danny Mc
Rea in Flint on April 2S.
Erery Player Will Be Good.
Reports received hero from Cadillac,
Mine., say Olivet college will opea its
baseball season at Notre Dame toda?.
Kaeh member of tho Olivet team has
signed a document worded as follows:
"I promise not to smoke, drink or
swear during tho baseball season.
"I promise not to attend parties the
night previous to baseball games.
"I promise to practice every day that
the coach issues a call.
"I promise to no'ify the coach if
I seo any member of the team breaking
the agreement which he signed.'
More than 30 men signed the docu
ment, which makes every man on the
team a detectiva.
Will Launch Vessel.
Builders of the Resolute, one of tho
yachts to compete in the race for the
right to defend America's cup against
Sir Thomas Lipton's vessel, says it will

NORMAL CONDITIONS
AT FORD PLANT NOW
; Detroit, Mich., April 11. Conditions
, in the vicinity of tho Ford Motor
company's plant have once more ri
: sumed their normal aspect. No longc
' do thousands of men besiege the en
tnaneee on Manchester avenue in tho
hope of securing positions under the
1 new wage regime. They have finally
! eomo to realize that no such casual
and hap hazard method is being foi
i lowed in adding to the working force.
; The painstaking manner in which the
1 new wage scale was evolved and the
; thorough way in which the entire plan
' is being fortified by elaborate follow
up work is illustrated by several feat
ures. One of the moet significant re
ktes to the handling of employes in
: the shops to discover by thorough test
their fitness for work in the variouf
departments and thus protect them
against a seeming failure to make good
and a summary dismissal.
Foremen are not allowed arbitrarily
to dismiss a man. If the foreman of any
gang finds one of his men is not doing
satisfactory work, instead of dismis
sing the individual outright he mnt
send him to a clearing house where
his caso is investigated and he is given
another trial in some other department,
unless he is found to be wholly inef
ficient. There his ability for another
kind of the work will be tested. Theso
shifts may take place a half a dozes
times before the man is finally let out
or retained. "i i
The company is determined that the
additional money received under the
new plan shall be devoted to reason
able purposes. In order to determiuo
this a large number of investigator

BAD PISTONS MEAN LEAK
One-Piece Ring Design Are Pronouiicort
Deficient.
An article in a recent number of the
Scientific American lays down this
axiom:
' "Tho performance .of the motor of
any gasoline-driven vehicle depends
upon tho maintenance of tho compres
sion, and the efficiency of the motor
doponds to a considerable degree upon
keeping this at maximum point."
The agency most depended upon to
effect this necessary compression is
the piston ring. A set of these rings
encircles each piston head for tho pur
pose of securing that closoness of con
tact within the cyiindor whioh it is
impossible for the piston head itself to
obtain without creating such friction
as to lose most of the power communi
catde to it.
Perfect mechanical fit, therefore, is
the primary requisite of proper piston
ring service such delicate adjustment
of contact as to mako radical pressure

ence and frnish no opportunity for

Wtih such qualifications as theso
considered as essential to efficient per

justificiation for blaming his piston
