Good Sponges Cost Money.

Charles Wood has for many years
purchased sponges for drug firm Of
Boston. Talking of the article the other
day he said:
Good sponges have become so ex-
pensive that they are luxury to be en-
joyed only by those well to do. OF
course you can buy a reef sponge
cheap, small one costing only few
cents; but if you want Turkey cup
sponge large enough for bathing pur-
poses you will have to pay 81 or S..
Sponges come all sizes; the largest one
[ ever saw measured twenty inches
across. These very large sponges are
apt not to be perfect, and they do not
bring as good prices as smaller and
more perfect ones. The largest of the
perfect kind measures about fourteen
inches across the top and nine inches
through, such q sponge being worth
about 500. It is too large for bathing
purposes, and too expensive to be used
in washing carriages, and is kept by
dealers for chance customer. A good
size bathing sponge is about eight
inches across the top and five through,
and is worth IS.
'The expensive sponges are bought
principally by physicians and dentists,
and are used much in administering
ether. There are very many people
who cannot tell the difference between
Turkey cups and common reef
sponges, and they are astounded at the
difference in price. They are asked So
for what they think they can get just
as good for % cents. There are sponges
from Florida called sleeps wool, which,
in the opinion of mary buyers, are as
good, although much cheaper. for all
practical purposes as the silk ones.
They are used mainly for washing car
riages, although they make good
bathing sponge. Reef sponges come
from Cuoa and Nassau. turkey cups
from around islands of the archipelago.
Sleeps wool and reef sponges come in
1920, and 40 pound bales, and the
finest of the former, known as Rock
Island goods, sell wholesale at from
$3.50 to 1915 per pound. The Turkey
cups are sorted at London and Paris
into three qualities and sent to us in
bags. They are sold by the piece
Boston Globe.

A ROCKY GAME
Of Base Ball Put Up Onthe Island, Yesterday
by Wheeling.
THE PITTSBURGS SLUG THE BALL
And Pile Up Twenty-Seven Runs, While Our
Own Get -Four.
AVERY OFF" DAY FOR WHEELING

There was TO have been amatch game
of base ball on the Island, yesterday
afternoon, and quite a number OF lovers
of the game went over TO see it. and
were disappointed. The Wheeling
team. for the short time they have been
working together, were putting up a
very fair article of ball, especially as
they have been bucking against clubs
away out of their class, but the club
fell off very tall house yesterday and
broke all TO pieces. and the visitors did
about all the playing that was done.
Fitzgerald. the left-hander. was put
in the box for Wheeling and the smoked
Italian Colts jumped onto his delivery
in the third inning with terrible jump,
and the Wheeling fielderS were kept
chasing the pig skin all over the lot,
the result figured up being nine
runs. Fitzgerald was taken out and
Bishop went in, but he was very little
better. The colts seemed TO have their
batting clothes on and the stray whiSk-
crS from the ball got into the eyes of
the Wheeling boys so that they couldn't
see the ball at all and the feet of the
gray-Suited PittSburgerS kept pattering
over the home plate with a most alarm
ing frequency, while Manager Gus
Hecker stood by and smiled to see his
colts getting so much good exercise.
There was little enthusiasm in the
game from a Wheeling point of view,
and no wild yells rent the air because
the air wasn't for rent at that stage of
the game. And so the slaughter con-
tinued until the fifth inning, at the com
mencement of which PittSburg had
IS runs and Wheeling had four large
globuleS and not man had fondled
the first base bag, being unable to hit
Mr.. Gray, the man who handled the
ball for the visitors.
In the fifth. however, O'Brien made
the acquaintance of first by base on
balls. stole second went to third on a
passed ball and trotted over the plate
on Bradenberg's bad throw. Then the
crowd let out its pent-up voice because
| Wheeling had made a score. That was
worth shouting for, although seventeen
or twenty scores would have been much
worthier of yell.
The Our Own got two more in the
sixth on Lytle'S life on Roat'S error, a
steal Of second. Glenalvin'S life on four
| balls and Mr.. O'Brien'S two-bagger over
right field fence. Naturally the excite
ment was intense, because the boys
only needed about eighteen or twenty
runs To tie, and it was
possible they would get them. That is,
it might have been possible-in a week
or so. and that's why the excitement
was so great. In the eighth another
was made onLytle'S hit, steal of second,
an out and OsbOrne'S twO-bagger. Then
they quit, while the Italians made TWEEN
| ty-SeVen.
The Wheeling boys certainly had an
off day yesterday, and they couldn't re-
cover themselves. Every team is bound
TO have a day like that sometimes. and
better things are, of course. looked for
especially if several changes are made
in the team, as there should be.
Following is the detailed score:
