THE GREEKS AND UNCLE SAM. In the recent book on the Olympic games, edited by James E. Hnlllrnn, wh« wna commissioner from the United States to the Olympic games, there Is published a cablegram that was received l»y the American team from President Theodore Roosevelt. Thla cablegram was published In nearly all of the Greek dally papers, and the following extract from the Olym pic t»ook shows clearly what the Greeks think of Uncle Hnin: Uncle Sam. ‘•Nothing could 1m» nicer and more Amer- Imnllke than the telegram of the epter prising president of the United States sent to the American representative and Amer ican laureate athletes, and published In yesterday's Estln: ‘Hearty congratulations to you and the American athletes. Uncle Ssm Is all right.* Who Is thla ‘Uncle 8ntn* who deigned n£ last to Ih> pleased a'fter the testing up by the roots of the olive tree of Altls by the unrivaled athletes of the New World and Its transportation to the United States? “Only those among the Greeks know him who read European satirical papers and mngaxlnes.

He la that big innn with a hat like a chimney and the Star- Kpangled Banner used as a rlblmn around It, with a.long none and pointed heard, with the many color* 1 Jacket and the striped short trousers.

Why Birmingham won the pennant is shown In the fact that In the Inter-club aeries, the Barons were victorious In every Instance save one. In other words, Bir mingham won n majority of the games played from every club In the league save Here Is the Birmingham Age-Herald's dope on the Karons of 1907: "In case Meeks goes behind the bat, It Is understood thnt an effort to hind Douglass of Little Rock for the Initial sack will be made, though thla. too, la not positive. For the Infield the Barons will return Walters. Castro, Oyler, Montgomery and Aleoek. Of that quintette of players the necessary three Infleldera can l»e easily picked. Iu the outfield It seema certain thnt Gear nnd smith will l>e returned, aa will Moles worth. In ease he does not manage Montgomery. It seems at this time a certainty that Wil helm nnd Ragan will Ik» returned to the pitching staff, nnd If there Is anything Itr the report that Clark will not return on his own accord. It Is unknown. In cane Bai lee docs not make good with New York he will iKdong to Birmingham. Bruner will l*o tin hand. The management will get nt least another great pitcher." After their return from a three-day exhi bition series at Jackson, the 1906 nnbbltea began to make preparations -for departures for their homes nnd In a day or so there will be but a remnant of the Red Elm Hus tlers left In Memphis. The picked team which returned yesterday morning from Jackson spoke In the highest terms of the treatment accorded them In the Tennessee city and said that they were compelled to work to the limit to make the showing they did against the Independent team at that place. Huggs, who pitched the final nnd thing game against the Independents, said he had to use everything at hla com mand to hold the home club down to n runlcss game and pointed to the fact thnt he fanned sixteen inen as proof that he was pitching a hard gnme. Three of the Imys left last night-Boh Carter, ^en Loucks nnd Bueky Thiel. Car ter Is bended for his home at Mouut Airy, N. C„ but will stop st Johnson City, Tenn. where he has some personal business to trnusnet In connection with some property he owns there.

Joseph, Mo., where he has a butcher business. Carey, Owens, Hurlburt nnd Suggs are still In Memphis. Hurlburt will of course remain here to look after his business, while Owens will depart Sunday for Rochester, N. Y.

Will Hamilton, generally known aa "Ham,” haa a llat of queatlona on the aportlng page of The New Orleana Item. Theee queatlona ha conaldera will come up at the annual meeting of the South ern League, which will be held In Birmingham In the middle of Decern- her. Here they are; "No. 1. Will a movement to have Blrmlngham’a alleged Illegal victories thrown out be started when the league directors meet? 'No, 2. Will a movement then be started to reduce the salary limit or In- creaseMt? "No. 3. Will President Kavanaugh have opposition to hla re-election? "No. 4. Will Little Rock and Shreve- >rt continue In the league or will oblle and Chattanooga make over tures to the association, which can not be rejected? “No. G. Will Manager Frank win the three protests which he, ho* lodged against Memphis and other clubs?" To all except the first part of «the fourth question the answer Is most em phatically NO. Aa to the first question, there Is no chance but that Birmingham will get away safely with that crooked Castro deal. It was contrary to the constitu tion of the Southern League, contrary to the by-laws of the National Asso ciation and contrary to all rules of baseball decency. It was taking an unfair advantage of every club In the leaguo and setting a precedent which will do no good to the Squthern League. But Vaughn will get away with It. There In no disposition to win any pennants by post-mortem examinations. Those "Castro games- should have been protested eoon after they were played and the matter thrashed out at once. As no such step was taken they may now be considered qs formally dropped. There will probably be some talk on the queetlon of salary limit at the coming meeting, but nobody on the Inside seems to expect that anythin* will be done. The present limit is no better nnd no worse than any other when It Isn't lived up to. The attempt to keep the teams of the league Inside a salary limit has failed. This has been the history of all leagues. Unless President Kavanaugh haa something unexpected to spring—some facts brought out by the league au ditor, Mose VVormser, or somethin* that the public does not as yet dream ot, then the salary limit question will not ruffle the smooth waters of the meet ing as It did last year. It Is absurd to ask If President Kav anaugh will have any opposition for re-election. He will not. That Is set tled right now. The election goes to the Judge on a silver platter. There may be those who do not think thnt the Judge makes the best president In the world, but if such there be they reallie that for tho present they are In the hopeless minority. Little Rock and Shreveport will con tinue In the league. Several of the other clubs would be glad to get them out, but this la Impossible, practlrnlly, unit's# some outside club buys thrin out And none of tho stubs suggested are likely to do this. As to No. 6. No, Manager Frank will not win those three protests because he will not ask that tho protests be given a hear ing. Thnt Dutchman does not ear, about games won that way, and If ha had wanted them he would have put up his howl earlier. Judged by ouch Information os la ob tainable, the coming meeting of the Southern Longue will he the must peaceful which the league haa ever known. The present president will be re-elected, the pennant will be awarded to Birmingham, the league will wrangle a bit over the division of ths various funds, a lot of words will be used In telling about the desirability ot living up to the salary limit. And there you are. Bush-League Baseball Is Too Strenuous For Some JEFFRIES ANNOUNCES HIS RETURN TO PRIZE RING By W. W. NAUGHTON. Han Francisco, Cal., Bopt. 25.—"Big Jltn" Jeffries, retired champion png of the world, tins announced hla return to the ring. He atnnd* ready to box any tnnn selected by his old manager, Illlly Delaney. Jeffries was In the city for n few hours while on his return from Oregon to Lot Angeles. He wna met hero by Delauey, nnd the pair paid u visit to the hostelry of Eddie Graney, fm Fillmore street. It U said that Grauey contrived to leave Delaney ami Jeffries alone In his office, a ml It was durlfig this period that Delauey got In his deadly work. He strongly ad vised Jeffries to take up the fighting game again. "Why should I*’" asked tho big fellow. "I out ns happy ns a king now; have all this world's goods I need, nnd hnven't a core In the world. I can go away on a hunting trip, ami while I aiu absent the alfalfa Is growing, it ml the cattle are fat tening. If I desert the farm and take up fighting, who enu tffl whut'* going to hap- t>en?" Delaney pleaded with him. He said It 4rns a shame to have so much brawn nnd cleverness and fighting force lying fal low. •‘You're as good ns ever you were, right now, Jim, and It may h* quite different a year or two from now. There'* au old saying thnt a retired chninplon always gets back Into the game, at lenst, once, ami I want to s«*e you take your second whirl nt fighting while you are at your best." Delaney said a whole lot more, and Jef fries put on bis considering cap. Finally the big champion Jumped to his feet nud Ing one another If they had beard the news.

" went out Into the Junipers with an other fellow a year or two ago and came near never coming back. We went with a team ui* In Virginia, and I was playing under the name of 'Jones,* ! or 'Brown*—I forget which. I was pitching and the fellow who went with me was catching. "A big Jasper came up to bat and the catcher sung out to me, 'Hit him In the head.* I sent up a teaser around his neck and the next one as a high one In, close In. He ducked his head Into it and It came near knocking the life out of him. He went to first and an other one came up. "‘Give It to this one In the same place,* howled the catcher. "I did not want to hit the fellow, but the third ball I threw’ up landed In the batter’s neck. He, too, took a base, The third man came up with a bat In his hand, and, stopping outside the batter's box, warned me if I hit him he would get ipe with the bat. I believed him, too, and gaye him four wide ones. "Pretty soon, with the scoro tied, I landed on the pitcher for a home run and when I came across the plate the ump yelled, ‘You’re out, ye cut second base.' I had not cut the base at all and was crasy mad. The ump said some thing back and I soaked him for fair. He fell with his nose bleeding and stalled, I think, pretending that he was worse hurt than he really was. Flrat thing I knew the crowd was after ins and I was doing the Duffy act down a corn Held near by. The constabls finally got me and they soaked me $23 for slugging tho umpire. They threat ened to shoot me and cut up generally. "To get back at 'em we had about four of them pinched for. carrying con cealed weapons or something of ths kind, and, after letting them sweat In Jail for two days, the case wan settled. "They can poke all the fun tney want to at these currant-bush league games, but the city don't know what they are. The fellow whose name I was uelng went out to a town near by to play a day or two latpr, and before the game started the mayor walked out on the field and up to this fellow. " 'We know’ all about you,’ he salt!; we heard about your doings, and If you crook a finger In this town we'll fill your dirty hide so full of lead that they could use you for an anchor Tor a river barge.' "They would have done that very trick, and the poor Innocent ball player was so cowed and afraid that ho didn’t even .dare to call that ump a dog one# or a bonehead during the whole game. He even wanted to fight mo for using hls name when he got back to town. "It* 1s all Tight to laugh at these bustiers at long range, but they are like a Montana cow—all tight when you are on horseback, but once they are after you, It's to the trees or a long, swift run and a dive Into the river.”—Cincinnati Commercial-Tribune. W.J. Tilson Makes Low Score and Wins Hard-Fought Match Owing to the continued miserable weather condltlout. only a few matches have l*eeu played In the Trnwlck tournament since the preliminary round. One of the mutches which hut lM»cn decided, though, was a wonder. This remarksIdn showing was made In the contest between W. J. Tll- and P. T. Marye In the aeml-fluals for the Trnwlck cup, aud the match was won by Mr. Tllnon, 3 up aud l to go. In winning, however, Mr. Tilson was force* 1 to break all records for the coarse, though the figures set by hlui will not •tnnd as a record, because tfie scores on two of the holes were approximated. Mr. Marye went out In forty-one strokes, the lK»st mark which has ever l»eeu made In the out want Journey. Coming In, Jie did not do as well, and with an eight approx imated for the Inst hole, finished the round In fifty-five, giving him iiluety-six strokes for the eighteen boles, two strokes bet ter^ than the liest previous score. ** - Tilson, however. Improved hls score among the difficulties of the ‘‘thla aide" holes. With the nlil of one four, four lives, nn ' 1 "P approsltunti'd eight, he jiiilshcd the round In fifty strokes, giving kirn u total of ninety-two for th« conns! It Is unfortunate that Mr. Tilson did not hole out hls put on the third hole, and finish out the elghtetitb. for If he had ha would undoubtedly have set a cotnpeflff"t-’ mark which would have stood for a*’ui« time to come.
