Fonnlc Mack is said to have releaa «d Captain Fanny Murphy, ia with tin Brooklyn Feds now, because Fanny "panned" him after the second world aeries game last fall for not sending a pinch hitter in to do the dubbing chores for Bender In the ninth inning, when even a long fly .meant the game for the Athletics. Barney Drey fun, owner of the Pi rates said: "If a man signs a contract with me and then Jumps he is no good." Which is not highly illuminating. Barney nor is it news. Home months hack we learned that no matter how great a player a man might he, and no matter how valuable, he became a dub and a has-been in the eyes of organ lied baseball Just as soon as he looped the loop and landed in the Federal’s ball yards.

Manager IlrmitherN has a good left fielder In view, lull will not announce him until the line up for the gmne with the Academy on Wednesday la published. The Augusta team could not be In a tietter shape, an Brouthera has cap tured some of the bent men thut will be seen In the Sallie circuit for some time to come. As for the hitting ability of these playera It Is understood that no other team will he able to come up to the mark tluit the Au gusta players will make. Take the Augusta Brooklyn game for Instance, I they simply knocked the ledgers’ pitchers out of the box t Robinson used three). It Is true that Brooklyn waa the victor, the reason for Augusta's Inability to score any more runa than she did In spite of the excellent hit ting whs the sensational fielding of the Hedgers. One Just simply could not make a hit without a Dodger cep turlng It. COTTON THIS WEEK New Orle.n*. The weather will he the main thin* In the cotton market thle week.

Augusta French Dry Cleaning Co., Fone 2076. W. T B. THE AUGUSTA HERALD. AUGUSTA. GA. THE ISABELLA OF THE AIR—RODMAN WANNAMAKER. Rodman Wannamakar (on the left) who says he will not cease his efforts to have the Atlantic ocean crossed in an aeroplane until successful, is a New Yorker of great wealth. His activities have been over shadowed somewhat by the fame of his father, John Wannamaker. Glenn Curtiss (centre) is the aeroplane constructor on whom Mr. Wannaker Is pinning tits faith. Mr. Curtiss 1b building a series of great double valved eight cylinder engines and will start trial flights soon at a station on the Newfoundland Coast. Above is seen a sketch of the aeroplane It is proposed to use on the first trans-Atlantic attempt. Lord Northcllffe (on the right) proprietor of several great English daily newspapers, will give a prize of $50,000 to the first man who crosses the ocean in a heavier thau-air machine. There is also offered a $5,000 prize by Mrs. Victoria Wood bull Martin, nn English woman. Rodman is the Modern “Queen Isabella” of the Air Today Called Glenn Curtiss, the Aviator, Aside a Few Days Ago and Said: “Glenn, We Aren’t Going to Give This Up Until We Fly Acoss the Atlantic Ocean.” It Is related that Isabella, Queen of Spain, finding her husband parsimon ious, pawned her jewels in order to as sure tho sailing of the Atlantic Ocean by Christopher Columbus. So when a quiet, hut Impressive young American merchant called tilenn Curtins, the aviator, aside a few days agy and said: "Glenn, we aren't going to give this up until wo fly across." It was to he expected that the speaker was ready to go to any lengths In borrow ing mon ey to finance a trans-Atlantic aero plane trip. “He can get a loan from his dad.” many might remark. But let It he said right here that Philadelphia people xvtll tell you Rodman Wanamake Is a much wealthier man than his father Also, before asking a loan front dad to pay for his fylng machines. Rodman might raise some money on his life Insurance. He has $4,500,000 worth, which 1s mors than any other mortal, and he adds to It quite often. "Rodman Wanamaker, son of John Wanamakrr," Is the way he always appears In print; and as he admires his merchant prince father Intensely he does not complain. Rut the young er Wanamaker (who Is now the only son! would have gained an eminent po sition tn American affairs without the boost which his name gave him. He sides establishing tho Wanamaker Parts branch Hnd later running the New York store, he has made so ninny amazingly lucky Investments thnt the fortune he will inherit some day will be only on Item In his ample nteans. Offers 50.000 Dollsrs. Rodman Wanamaker enters the trans-Atlantic crossing arena with all the enthusiasm of Queen Isabella and with much better credit. laird Northdlffe, tlreat Britain’s leading publisher, has offered a fifty thousand dollar prixe for the first crossing jif the Mg pond by aeroplane, so Mr Wanamaker has a chance to re coup part of the fortune he may have to place at the disposal of the Ingen ious Mr t'urtlss. And he can collect a further $5,000 from Mrs, Victoria Woodhull Martin, an English flying patron. So when the Wanamaker-Curt Is* flyer swoops off a Newfoundland cliff next August with her eight-cylinder. 200 horse power engine chug-chugging and IJeut Porto or some other hardy navigator of the pathless upper air at the wheel there will be $55,000 sitting on the west coast of Ireland and beck oning to the steel bird. But If there were nothing more at the end of the journey than Isabella had reason to believe lay below the hortxon of Cadlt, Mr. Wanamaker would have said just the same, "tilenn, we aren't going to give this up until! we fly across" For he belongs to the class of young Americans horn rich who do things, who play six. but work ten hours a day; and who accomplish what they sot out to do. One of Hobbies. Aeroplanes have long been one of Mr Wanamaker's hobbles, but he has many others life Insurance. automo biles, yachts, fine paintings, and the American Indian. This last should stand at the top of the list. He decided that the noble aborigine Aviator Says Will Yet Cross Atlantic should have a great national memorial at Fort Tompkins, Staten Island, the highest point of land overlooking New Y’ork harbor. To convince Congress that money should be appropriated for this pur pose he set up and conducted an In dian exhibition in Washington. Few members of Congress after seeing the things which Mr Wanamaker and his friend, Buffalo Bill," dsplayed, failed to lose their objections to the monu ment project. Mr Wanamaker won his fight and was made head of the committee to select a design and erect the statue. Last year thirty-two In dian chiefs paid reverence to the Stars and Stripes at the laying of the cor nerstone. Some of them had fought the white man, killed and massacred them through many years. One car ried twenty-three bullets In his body. Seeing their enthusiasm for the flag. Mr. Wanamaker conceived the idea of carrying the message of the great sculptured Indian which will stand be side the Statue of Liberty to all the 169 tribes governed by Uncle Sam. He organized an “expedition of citizen ship." This expedition found many difficulties. In u corner of New Mex ico was discovered a highly Intelligent tribe which hnd never seen or heard of the flag. Someltnes the members of the expedition had to argue long with the Indians before persuading them that the w hlte men were no lon ger their enemies They hnd to trav el twenty-five thousand miles, much of thin by stage and horseback. But they did not give up until every' little nation had received Its big red, white and blue flag of fine material, had hauled up and unfurled the emblem, and hnd sworn allegiance to the Great White FKther. Another Pet. Another of Mr. Wanamaker's pet projects Is the American Art Associa tion In I’arls. After he had been graduated from Princeton Univer sity Mr. Wanamaker went abroad to look after his father's Interests In the French capital. He lived there so many years that he was even accused, but wrongfully, of llklntt French life bet ter than American. Ho became much Interested In the struggles of young artistic geniuses from ncross the wa ter. He knew of cases where they had lived in garrets, starved, grown melan choly and even taken their own lives for iaok of a friend and cheerful sur roundings. The American Art Association had started In humble quarters anil had done a groat work In bringing together the poor young students. Mr. Wana maker established the organization in Its present commodious quarters, paid the salary of an excellent chef, and gave a fixed sum every year for gen eral expenses. The downcast young dauber can now wander Into these cheery quarters, eat a fine meal for a small price and, what Is more, find a good word from home. English and French art students take advantage as well At the salons, too. Mr Wanamaker was a familiar figure. He bought pic tures by unknowm artists in large numbers. From the salon of 1903 he obtained more than four hundred can- vases. These he shipped to America. In London Mr. Wanamaker is also well known. He rented the big place called Taplow Court on the bank of the Thames lost year from the Des borough family. But though he has lived most of his years abroad. Mr. Wanamaker picked an American girl. Miss Fernanda Hen ry, for his wife. She died in 1900. Nine years later he married another American young woman. Miss Violet Cruger. Mentioned As Ambassador. Mr. Wanamaker was mentioned at one time as a possible Ambassador to France. Ho is now about forty-five years old. It is quite certain that the American people will grant him signal honor some day. The French govern ment has done so many years ago. Not only for his work in making the life of the Paris art students brighter, but for important lalxjr in bringing the United States and France more closely together commercially, he was made a chevalier of the Legion of Honor In 1897 and ten years later President Fal lieres named him an officer In this dis tinguished body. Mr. WaJiamaker is now a resident of New Y’ork, but he is much interested in Philadelphia. Recently he gave $50,000 to that city for the benefit of municipal employes who were injured in tho discharge of their duty. In New York he recently gave a fine trophy to the New York Public School Athletic. League. His interest in aero planes dates back at least to 1909, when he purchased a Blerlot. In 1911 he gave an endurance trophy to an air meet held at Nasau Boulevard, Long Island, He has also presented a spe cial racing balloon to the Aero Club of America, which will be entered iti the International contests starting from Kansas City next October. WEEK'S FINANCE REVIEW New York.—Factors which helped to sustain prices of stocks earlier In the months waned In Influence lust week. London's eurly hopefulness for an Irish settlement gave way to anxiety over signs of an inflammatory state of feel ing. The New Haven agreement with the government relieved fears of a dead lock. but gave no posltlx-e benefit to the mharket.| nnouncement of hearings of the eastern railroads’ petition for a five per cent advance In freight rates can celled the effect of the previous week's rumors of early favorabie action. There were some heavy declines in February net earnings of railroads In spite of reductions In outlay and the decrease In total of idle freight cars. The cut in the dividends of Pittsburg, C. C. and St. Louis common, and preferred and suspension of Norfolk Southern's payments gave a concrete object lesson of the difficulties confronting the rail roads. The .necessity for railroad economies explained the cheerless feeling in the steel trade. Gloomy predictions were heard of an April Ist curtailment of out put and a break tn prices. Orders and specifications were reported to be com ing in at the rate of about half the current shipments from the nulls. There was said to be buying of cop per. but textile mills were looking for ward to reduced tWoductioh. Acute weakness in special stocks grew out of trust prosecutions and financial needs. Additional note issues by rail roads. rather than bond Issues, were discussed In spite of the easy money conditions. Varying Influences on the check »o business were ascribed to the Intended trust legislation, the federal bank re serve cx-ganlzation and the Mex:can problem. The number of women lawyers In New York city Is steadily increasing. MONDAY.
