a PULLING PITCHER.
Tom sharrott's Drop Curves Are Ne
BAtsmRn'A Terror.
One of the clever young pitchers Of 'the
Giants" this season is John Sharrott.

whose rise to fame in baseball circles has
been of a meteoric character, although the
meteor is still describing a puzzling in
curve across the heavens, and shows no
signs of being "slugged" toward the hori-
zon and obscurity by that relentless batter,
Fate. Young Sharrott first played pro-
f~essional ball two years g with the Can
andaigua IN. " club.
The season following his remarkably
good work, assisted by the demand for good
men which was caused by the great base
ball war, pushed him up higher and gave
him a place in the New York National
League club. His speed, science, resources
and command of the ball made him a very
valuable pitcher. His drop curves are the
terror of men at the bat.
Sharrott is 5 #. s in. tall, weighs l55
pounds and was born at West Brighton, S.
l., twenty-five years ago. Manager Wright,
of the Philadelphia League team, has Of
late been e~ndeavoring to get Sharrott away

been captured In the village OF Pileenku,

The advantages of a pocket that has
no sewed seams and mo rip and that
is neat and smooth in the garment are
such as will be appreciated by every
masculine reader. Such a pocket is the
invention of an ingenious Yankee, who
calls his device a safety seamless pocket.
The popularity of these pockets is that
they are woven complete in one piece.
No stitching or sewing is necessary to
make them ready for use, but they are

in which they are required for trousers.

and made the clothes for her husband and

she dipped tallow candles, to light the house

oven. Yes; and when she was forty years OF
age, she was already an old lady whose best
days were over. Her shoulders were bent and
her joints enlarged by hard work, and she

Kilter or keller was an "Anglicism"
long before it was an "Americanism."
Skinner, in 1871, has "Kelter; he is not
yet in keller, nondum est paratus." 1t
is also given in a reprint of Rays collec-
ton of 1891. The k before i points TO a
Scandinavian origin. CT. Dan. kite, to
truss, tuck up, whence E. kilt. Rietz
gives Swed. dial, killer band, a band
for holding up tucked up clothes; ldltra-
sig, to grid up, tuck up, and fasten. The
metaphor is obvious enough.
This word keller, as it should be
spelled, is given in Johnson's Dictionary,
and derived from the Danish keller, to
grid. A quotation is given from Bar
rows works, where the word is used.
Bailey in his chronological Dictionary
derives it from the Latin cultura. Hall
well c'Dictionary of Archaic and Pro
vincial Words'O gives it as used in the
east of England both rs a substantive
and as a verb. 1t is a word of everyday
use in Surrey and Sussex, in the sense OF
order or condition. The Rev. W. D..
Parish, in his Dictionary of the Sussex
Dialect" notices it in the phrase, This
farm seems in very good 'kelter.'" |
have often heard it used in the same
way, and anything that is out of condi-
ton is described as being ''out o keller"
On reference to the publications of the
English Dialect society it will be seen
that the word is of very general use
throughout England. In the neighbor-
hood of Whitby it occurs as a verb and
a substantive, and in the mid and east
Yorkshire glossaries also; it is used also
in west Cornwall, Hampshire and the Isle
of Wight. In west Somerset, in Sheffield
and in Huddersfeld the word means
money. These references will be sufi-
