The Hopkins aggregation took the count in all three games and were temporarily at least removed as a contender for the high honors in the league. They were a game bunch, however, and refused to take them off even though they did prove such a hoodoo. As a result- of series the the difference in the physical surroundings of the players on their oown lot and on foreign grounds. At home the boys are familiar with every inch of the playing surface. They not only play seven times as many championship games at home as they do on any other field, but they have inornlnig practice there all through the early weeks of the season, and also a few weeks or a month of exhibition games.

On the foreign fields they play only 11 games on each lot, with no practice except what little they get just before tho game. The players are therefore next to every peculiarity of their own field, knowing by experience whore all the little irregularities in the grounds are located, from what direction the prevailing winds blow and where the shadows strike most darkly in the afternoon, when the game Is being played. They do not have the time or opportunity to become nearly so familiar with these minor facts on any ground abroad. Every playing field Is peculiar in some way and different from ever yother. It is quite natural that a player should be more certain and accurate In his work on a field with which he la absolutely familiar.

Then at home the boys have a big advantage In living at their own homes, getting better rest and meals than it is possible to procure on the and they do not have to spend the hot. nights of summer in close and crowded sleeping cars, as they do every third or fourth night-when traveling. Early in the season they enjoy morning practice on their own grounds, which is not possible when abroad, for the home team has the exclusive right to the playing field for morning work. There is very little advantage in the support of the home rooters. A game team of ball players will play as well under fire as they will when the crowd Is hooting and rooting for them.

In fact, some players seem to have more confidence and courage away from home, where they know they will not be roasted or criticized for mistakes so freely as they are apt to be by the home fans. CARLISLE ATHLETES ALL HARD AS NAILS FEW FOOTBALL PLAYERS INJURED III 1811 I'lW (- John- eln v3h a splendid type of the young baseball player who hopes to become successful In professional ranks. If Marlon Is restored to the Ohio State league, he will report to that club. In case Marlon does not qualify, he will be placed elsewhere. "Itube" Ilarter, tho Sucker state phenom, who has been with Portsmouth for tho past two seasons, has not only signed his contract for next season but has already showed up at headquarters In the river city.

The "Rube" never quibbles over salary matters and Is one of the first to fall In lino every season. His two years' experience should make him a valuable man on tho Portsmouth twirling staff during the coming seasou. The first player signed for the Newark club is Max Terhune, of Franklin, lnd. He Is transferred to the Molders from the Indianapolis club. He Is a right-handed pitcher, stands 6 feet and one half inch tall, is 21 years old and weighs 180 pounds.

Terhune is said to be a comer. up. Carlisle does not specialize in football, shown by the maintenance of school, track and lacrosse teams which compare with college organizations nearly as well as do her football elevens. Very few of the Carlisle boys have any athletic experience at all before entering school. It is a fact worthy of comment that loss time is probably allowed students at Carlisle for athletic training than at any other institution, as the boys are not at liberty" from school duty until 4 p.

and practice ends at 5:30 or earlier. Giving a half hour to get to the field and in togs, there is seldom much more than an hour of systematic drill given for work. Most critics have given Coach Warner credit for being one of the leading offensive coaches of the country. He has not been regarded so highly as a defensive coach, but an intimate knowledge of the characteristics of the Indians easily explains why the Carlisle teams have often been scored upon by inferior elevens. The Indians are a bit erratic and careless, and always take desperate chances.

They do not execute their plays nor handle the ball with anything like the care that college boys do, consequently there are more fumbles and misplays upon their part than there are upon the highly developed college team, and their opponents, taking advantage of these misplays and fumbles, are often able to score upon the Indians through no fault in the conception or execution of their defensive V- Smokehouse five is in undisputed possession or tne lop pomuuu i standing and cannot be dislodged by ar.y team during the present week's bowling. The Admiral Hopkins five moves down to third place. The Elks are now in second place, but must win at least two games In their series this week to hold the position. The Shelleys and the Schads both have an excellent chance of gaining higher positions in the standing, while the three lower teams are far from being out of the running. It was the better bowling of the Smokehouse five that gave them the clean sweep of the series.

While they passed the 500 mark in only one of their games they were not very far below that mark in their other two games. They averaged 497 for the series. The Admiral The remarkable success of the Carlisle Indian football eleven last fall has brought to the surface much In negation of the criticism aimed at the present gridiron sport, particularly in tho matter of injuries to players. It was announced recently that although the Indians played 44 youths at practice all through the season, and the first eleven had a schedule containing 12 games, the reserves eight games and the third team one, not a tingle bne was fractured during the season, the injuries being only sprains, and only two of the red-skinned players had hospital records, one of them being in the hospital about 24 hours and the other about 50 hours. It may be said that hardly any other college works Its men at practice scrimmage so thoroughly- as does Carlisle.

Coach Glenn Warner and Dr. Treibley of the regular army have been given credit here for the small number of injuries. A few other facts concerning the Carliblo football players hitherto unknown, will naturally be of Interest to athletic enthusiasts. Carlisle's total enrollment of students, made up of boys and girls between 14 and 21 years old, is less than 1,000, this age limit governing enrollment here. In the few cases of students over 21 years old special permission has to be obtained from the Indian office at Washington for enrollment, School statistics show about 200 boys over 17 years of age, this being tho number from which all of the school's athletic material is made i 1 1 Hopkins five rolled three consistent Daddy's Bedtime games, but not high enough to win as they averaged only 469-2.

In the opening game the Smokehouse team took the lead from the start and were an even thirty pins to the good at the close of the fifth frame. Three spares by the Hopkins bowlers in the sixth inning cut down this lead to only five pins, but three strikes by the Smokehouse bowlers during the next two frames gave them a lead from which they were never headed and helped them, in winning by a thirty-pin margin- The two teams started off Tory evenly fn the second game, neither having an advantage until after the third frame. The Smokehouse team then forged to the front and was seventeen pins to the good in the fifth. This lead was gradually increased during the latter frames, due more especially to the individual score Sowash, who secured a spare In the tenth frame and followed it with a strike on his extra ball, The Smokehouse won the game by thirty-seven pins. One final effort was.

made by, the Hopkins five to stem the tide of defeat in the final game. It was a most evenly contested game during the first five frames, a single pin in the Hopkins' favor separating the totals of the two teams at the end of the fifth frame. The Hopkins were leading unti' lthe eighth frame when the Smokehouse five forged to the front as a result of several marks and won out by fifteen pins. It was consistent rather than brilliant individual bowling that gave the Smokehouse five their victory. Not one of the five players had an average below 95, while the high There's An Art In Roasting Coffee There is a knack in blending just as there is a special knowledge and ability required to select the choicest coffee berries.

AW 11 -tfjsM K1 S5 mi it my men, not Remember, it; Story- The Biggest Animal In The World New York Will John Flannagan, (he Olympic hammer champion, represent America or England in the com- Ing Olympic games to be held lu Swed en next June; Tne new rule or tne Olympic games defining tho residential qualifications of intending competitors has developed one of the oddest situations in tho history of international athletics. At the Budapest conference last spring it was decided that an athlete could represent, his native country at any time, even weie he a naturalized citizen of another country. Just now the rule applies to John Flannagan, who, it ia understood, will be a contender at Stockholm. For several years Flanagan was a resident here and successfully represented the United States at Paris In 1900 and at London four years ago. Later he took GOSSIP OF OHIO STATE There has been no definite announcement as to what will be done to complete the circuit of the Ohio State league for the coming season.

There has been a report to the effect that the Columbus A. A. club would transfer its holdings from Lima to Marion. It is understood that an option has been taken' on the Lima club by a Portsmouth man, and he will probably operate a club there during the coming season. Should he purchase the Lima club, then Columbus will more than likely take the Marlon franchise and operate a farm in that city.

Should this deal be consummated then Mansfield, Newark, Marion and Lima would be the cities in the north end of the circuit, while Portsmouth, Chlllicothe, Hamilton and Lancaster would compose the teams in the outbern part of the state. There is a possibility, however, that the purchaser of the Lima franchise may transfer it to some other city in the southern part of the state. The Mountain State league is scheduled to hold its annual meeting at Charleston, W. on Saturday and then something may be learned as to whether Huntington, Charleston and Ironton, the three best cities in that circuit, will have any chance of joining the Ohio State league. It Is known that all three of these cities are trying to break into a better class league and It would be better for them to get into a league with Portsmouth as all the river towns CRANKS IN WASHINGTON.

Why Some Officials Keep Loaded Re volvers on Their Desks, Five out of the nine well groomed and gentlemanly private secretaries of members of President Taft's cabinet keep loaded revolvers handy In their desks every day of the year. They do not often use them, but there are Just enough cranks around Washington ud its departments to make a revolver feel good to the touch occasionally. Mr. Robert O. Bailey, privute secretary to Mr.

Franklin MucVeugb, secretary of the treasury, keeps bis even handier than in a desk drawer. If you were to step back of the big mahogany desk at which Bailey works, you would find a small ehelf to the right beside his knee. Upon it there la a businesslike looking 38 caliber revolver. It has been there ever since Mr. Bniley was visited last summer by a man who demanded to see Secretary MacVengh that he might get "a li-renso for free speech." Mr.

Bailey was alone in the ofilee on a midsummer day. Into it dashed disheveled individual who had long neglected the art of the safety razor and who was plainly looking for trouble. He rushed up to the desk and, crowding close to Mr. Bailey, brought his fist violently down upon the blotter and shouted- "I demand a permit for freo speech!" "All -right," gld Mr. Bailey; "go ahead." This seemed to be a surprise to the man, who showed a desire to shoot up the place.

He recovered himself and stepped back a few paces. Then he began an oration. It lasted ten minutes. At a halt Mr. Bniley put In "Fine: that's the way.

i'ou are nil right." The crank accepted the verdict, made a deep bow and walked out of tho room. New York Herald. A FRIEND. There are two elements that go to the composition of friendship, each so sovereign that I delect no superiority in either, no reason why either should be the first named. One is truth.

A friend is a person with whom I can be sincere. The other element of friendship is tenderness. When a man becomes dear to me I have touched the goal of fortune. Emerson. Out to Hunt While HEY hud been talking about animals.

"Isn't the elephant the largest animal there Is, daddy?" asked Jock. "Yes, do tell us that," urged Evelyn. 2 a notion and went back to his home In Ireland, where he competed all through the season, one of his star engagements being the international match between Scotland and Ireland. All along it was well known that Flanagan had his eye on the Swedish fixture, and come of his friends here volunteered the Information that he was to keep in training through the entire winter, so as to be well rounded up by Junej The latest reports are that Flanagan will represent tho United Kingdom, and the decision is important in the fact that he will surely take some points from America in the weights. Several times last season Flangan threw the hammer in the neighborhood of 180 feet, so it is safe to assume that he will be a dangerous man at Sweden.

LEAGUE 0 PLAYERS are natural rivals in sports. If the three cities manage to get free from the Mountain State league, they will seek to purchase franchises In the Ohio State league. That Hamilton will be represented In the Ohio Stale league, the coming season, is very evident from an announcement from Hamilton which reads, as follows: President Iteutti announces that contracts were sent out to all Hamilton players who were under contract at the close of last year. The directors are unanimous in their statement that Hamilton is to have a team this year, and that Hamilton's forfeit will be posted at the State league meeting on Feb. 26.

At this time $1,000 must be posted that the club will finish the season. The players who were playing with Hamilton at the close of 1911 were: Marlin, Keefe, Joyce, West, Donnelly, Hobbs, Patterson, Connell, Beswick, Bush, Brown, Dunham, Jones and Locke. All these players will receive their contracts in the next few days, and no holdouts are expected by the local club. Regarding the park question the directors have nothing to and say there is nothing further to be given out at present. This begins to look like business.

Fans around the Ohio Slate circuit will have considerable fun at tire expense of "Suhie" Valentine, a Cincinnati indoor baseball player who has signed to play with the Lancaster club, the coming season. For several years, Valentine has been a stap member of the Boston Bloomer Girls, a female baseball nine traversing the country, and 'tis said he made a swell looking girl," sailing under the cognomen of "Susie." With many tews, "Susie" bids the bloomer girls farewell, as his masculine traits have developed too strongly to pass as a female any-longer. Valentine is a young player, despite the fact that he played with the Bloomer Girls for quite a while. He signed with that team at the ago of 17, and his girlifch face has drawn forth many an "Oh you kid!" from male admirers. Striker, another Cincinnati player, has alao signed with the Lanks.

The Columbus A. A. club has closed a deal with the Bost6n Americans whereby Dick Grefe, a catcher and first baseman. Is secured. -Grefe has been In baseball but three years, but In that time has had a fine record for fielding and hitting.

He had a batting average of .292 and a Gelding average of .989 while with the Evansvllle and South Bend clubs of the Central league. 'Mansfield fans will remember Grefe as the young catcher from Evansvllle, who mas given a trial with Mansfield un mail uuu. 0'- one bowler on the Hopkins five had an average below 80. two oowiers, Gandert and Haag, were able to secure century averages, while only eight century scores were rolled. The scores: "Very well.

Have you ever noticed those little pieces bone that Indies sometimes sew Into their dresses to make their waists stiff "WhRlebone," ventured Evelyn. "Yes, my little lady, the, name of the largest animal is the whale." "Gracious, daddy!" exclaimed Evelyn. "You must be mistaken. Don't you know that the whale is a fish? Why, it lives in tho sea." "I know It does, and it can swim liko nny fish. Just the samo It Isn't a fish, but an animal.

Fishes have cold blood, while the whale has warm blood; also tho whale has lungs by which It breathes air Instead of gills liks the fish. "Some whales are over a hundred feet long. Fifty or sixty feet Is a usual length. Five or six elephants stood In line would not be any longer than many whales. "The whale cannot live altogether under water, but It can stay dowu for a long time.

It must always after awhilo, rise to the top of the water to throw from Its lungs the old air and take In a good deep breath of fresh air. "The whale's breath is hot and moist and tho cold air turns it to white Tspor, so that people used to think tho whale scut a Jet of sea water into the air. Sometimes it does, but this Is only when the whale, In its hurry for fresh air, spurts out the breath It has been holding before It gels clear to the top of the waves. "Also let me tell you that whalebone Isn't bone at all. Whalebone is the whale's teeth or what the whale has Instead of teeth.
