At a meeting of the executive of the city baseball league, held Mon- day evening, the age limit of jun- for players are raised from 18 and under 19 on April 1st, to 19% years and under twenty on the same date. Early in the season Bert Stansbury, the manager of ' the Ponies, brought in a notice of motion of a change in the consti- | tution to this effect, but withdrew ! it at the next meeting of the exec! utive. However, on Monday ev-! ening, all the teams agreed to this change. This will give the juniors one year longer in the younger series, before they are forced into senior company. Owing to continued wet weather it has been found impossible to put the junior diamond in shape for the opening game on Saturday, be- tween the Park Nine and Tecum- sehs, but this postponement not effect the schedule, the Park Nines and Tecumsehs, opening the junior series on the King's birth- day. The first scheduled game will | be pulled off as a bye during the season. . : But it is thought that it will dry up sufficiently to finish the repairs! to the senior field, for the opening game on Saturday. Ald. R. E. Kent, chairman of the parks com- mittee, and W. R. Givens, donor of the trophy, will open the season. The officers of the executive decide upon the officials for the game, and George Sullivan, the old ball play- | or, -and umpire, will likely ogcupy | the official position. 8. Oberndorf- | fer will provide the customary "tags" at the game. { Just ar a reminder, to the man- agers of teams, all certificates | will | BELGIAN KING LIBELLED.

For His Slur on Heroes of Titanic Wreck. | London, Eng., May 21.-- : Arthur Conan Doyle in the Daily News administers a stinging rebuke ! to George Bernard Shaw for writ- | ing with "looseness and levity" about the loss of the Titanic. str | Arthur says that in order to sup-| port his perverse thesis that there } was no heroism shown and that wo- ! men were not allowed the first! chance to escaps Mr. Shaw picks out a single boat, the smallest of all, and because there were ten men and two women in this boat denies there was any chivalry, although in the very -next boat sixty-five out of seventy were women. The novelist then lashes the | playwright for his reflection on the | behavior of the captian, who, he says, "though he may have made a terrible mistake and deliberately gave his life in reparation." He | also resents the attempt of Mr. | Shaw to defile the beautiful inci- dent of the band playing "Nearer, My God to Thee,' on the ground that it was the result of orders to avert a panic, holding that if that 's a fact it does not detract from the band's wonderful bravery in go- ing to death while inspring others with courage to meet their fate. Sir Arthur concludes his article with a tribute to the heroism of the i male American passengers, partic- | ularly the much abused men of wealth, as a splendid feature of | and | the tragic epic of the sea, adds: --"Surely it is a pitiful sight to see"a man of undoubted genius decrying his own people regardless of the fact that his words must add to the grief of those who already | have more than enough to bear."

Booth Tarkington was talking in Indianapolis about a novelist of the "highbrow" type, one of those half starved novelists whose reviews are much more remarkable than their sales. "As this novelist, shabby and cold," said Mr, Tarkington, "was walking in Fiith avenue, one wintry afternoon there glided past the magnificent mo- tor car of a publisher who had | brought out one of the poor fellow's books at a heavy loss. "The publisher signalled to chauffeur, the car stopped, and novelist in reply to a wave of the millionaire's hand, presented himself at the window of the ear humbly, "The publisher, wrapped in furs, said : his the " "There's a great big manuscript nearly falling out of your hip pocket, If you weren't so well-known'-- "Here the publisher removed the saperb Havana cigar from his mouth and laughed a loud, scornful laugh. " 'If you weren't so well-known,' he repeated, 'I guess you'd have had your pocket picked." "--Washington Star. A Detail Too Often Ignored.
