Scraps Of Sport.

Jack Newell. the captain and third base
man of the Toledos, was the victim of pc
culiar accident in the eighth inning yester-
day. Mullane was on second, and started to
steal third He made it by head-first slide,
butthe play was close one. Catcher Hurley
got the bail down to Newell just about the
time Tony started to slide. Newell stopped
down to put the bali ON him. Mullane, who
had made hea dlong jump. threw his feet
UP in the air. The heel of his left foot struck
Newell full in the face. Strange TO relate, it
did not knock him down. He picked the
ball up and threw it to the pitcher. Capt.
Comiskey, who was on the coaching line, ex
amined Newell, and found that his chin had
been laid wide open.-Cincinnau Enquirer.

OF Dugdale it is unnecessary to speak
at length. He is steady fielder and a
fair hitter, and has been seen in st.
Paul often in Minneapolis uniform.
Hogriever has also been seen in st. Paul
often. Collins is reported a good man,
though little is known of him here.
DonOghue did excellent work last year

the second baseman, is we'll know here
by reputation, though very few st. Paul

cation. Inc central lQea OF the new
organization is to assist as far as posi-
BILE in the development of the amateur
athletic talent of Minnesota. and it has
reached the conclusion that the best
way to awaken interest is to give a
great field day in st. Paul early in June,
at which beautiful and valuable medals
representing state championships will
be given in many sporting events.
Several st. Paul business men expressed
their willingness to help out by giving,
ina edition to the regular club emblems,
splendid prizes, the nature OF which
will be settled later on. After half
hours enthusiastic discussion Of the
outlook for the big field day, in which
the GLOBE was highly complimented
for its success in carrying through the
bowling tourney. the election of officers
was proceeded with, resulting
as follows: President, W. w. En-
win; first vice president, Thomas
Foley. second vice president, Alex Nc
Culloch; secretary, j. j. Ahern. Mr..
Ahern was authorized to 90 ahead with
the prepa ration of a programme for the
occasion, which promises to be the
event of the season In Minnesota sports.
Mr.. Ahern will give the progress of his
work through the newspapers from
time to time, but he would be glad to
receive letters or visits from Minnesota
athletes at once. For the present he
would be pleased to receive suggestions
in regard to events which would be
most likely to interest the public
and best test the prowess of the con-
testants. The annual contests of some
of the Eastern athletic clubs attract
crowds reaching from 10000 to 10000.

men to arrive yesterday was
Catcher Collins. This player will be
retained, although with him MIR.

all of the time. AS PeltZ. one of the

the team with twelve men, the numDer

There was talk that Elmer Foster
would be signed to play center field,
but it is understood that this deal is off.
A little later, if the club should develop
weakness in the outfield. Dalrymple or
Visner may be signed.
The st. aul-Minneapolis series has
not yet been arranged, owing to the
eruptive disposition of the weather.
With a few fair days, however, both
the st. Paul and Minneapolis grounds
will be III shape, and probably the OPEN
ing game will be played at Minneapolis
next Saturday afternoon, in which
event there will be a contest OH the st.

usual interest is being manifested IN
these games, both OH account of the ri

that there is SO much new blood in the

How to Render Cozy and Habitable the
SIeepinp-Room of Guests,

How to Render Cozy and Habitable the
Sleeping Room of Guests.
More than any of the sleeping-rooms
of the family should the guest chamber
have cozy and hospital air about it,
It is not place alone where the invited
guest goes to sleep, it is his or her
withdrawing room, the one safe, sole
spot to which the tired or busy guest
can go a. draw few deep breaths
! without icing aware of it, because
visiting Is to sympathetic and respon-
sive guest, sometimes little wearing,
Just the effort which guest feels
bound to make to keep constantly up
to her brightest and best tries her, and
there are times enough when she would
be glad to slip away into quiet room
of her own and regain the poise of self
which her constant intercourse with
others has shaken a little.
And so the room for the guest should
be the most restful and kindly in it's at
mosphere that the skill of the little
house mistress is able to plan. Itshould
have a divan in it for one thing-a big,
cozy divan, with pillows, and there
should be little shelf of well-selected
books hanging so near the divan that
an outstretched arm will bring them.
Then there should be little spirit
lamp and tiny kettle kept close to the
divan, with teacup and a tiny jar of
choice tea, so that the tired occupant
can have b cup of tea or hot water, If
she wants it, without having to ask the
hostess for it. OF course there should
be writing table, with anything that
writer could want, from the desk it.
self to postal card and stamp. And
there should be an easy chair, too; a
wide and deep one into which one could
slip and dream for little while.
A fresh flower in vase, tiny pot OF
ferns or a dainty statuette-these are
good to rest the eyes and brighten the
Imagination. The toilet stand should
have every requisite for the toilet-a
little pot of cold cream, a big bottle of
delicate cologne, set Of brushes and
wash cloths! More hostesses commit
the sin of omission as an Irish woman
would say, in regard to wash cloths
than in any other way. Towels there
are in abundance, great, big, snowy
damask towels, soaps and powders and
puffs-yea and bath sponges even-but
never wash cloth. And there are
still guests who are old-fashioned
enough to want wash cloth, and these
grope and plunge and wish and finally
compromise with their own self-respeci
and hostess towels. And who car
blame them? Wash cloths, then, a
fresh one every day, either of linen OIL
flannel, and button-hook and shoe
horn and foot-bath and whisl
broom and tiny mending basket
Lastly, if TO all these luxuries you car
add this, an open fire kept bright ant
clean, and if then your guests do no
love to tarry in your home conclude
that something must be wrong eithel
with your temper or your guests. Chi

Errors Many Wives Commit in Dealing

Even the best of husbands resembles

decidedly objects to doing. And among
the latter may be included divers useful
and admirable occupations, which do
not happen to commend themselves to
his taste. In nine cases out of ten the
wife, instead of attempting gently and
firmly to conquer his disinclination to
these pursuits, humors him in his OBJ
jections to them, and thus unwittingly
sows the seeds of future annoyance and
trial for herself Nearly every man

Any reforms the wife attempts tC

to be reminded that we are not perfect
and it is intensely unpleasant to learr
that our best beloved do not consider
