Baseball Women.

The average woman who attends the
ball games does not know much about
scoring. She merely keeps O record Of
the outs and runs by marking the figure
"1'' opposite the names Of the players
who make them, while zero fills all
other spaces on the score card. Such a
thing as distinguishing between base
hits and errors is far too puzzling to be
Thought Of But there are some who can
score as well as the most accomplished
critics.
Ball players wives generally excel in
this respect. For years Mrs. Anson, the
wife of the famous Chicago captain,
was the official scorer Of the club, and
some people were cruel enough to say
that she gave "Anse" the benefit of the
doubt to such an extent that he easily
led the League in batting. At the time
the identity Of the clubs official scorer
was unknown, but later, when it was
learned that Mrs. Anson had been the
official tablzesper, everybody appreciat-
cd the joke. Mrs. Nash, wife Of the
Boston captain, can SCORE game very
cleverly, and John Clarkson's wife
knows more about baseball than many
men. She can also keep correct score
and knows when her husband is pitch
ing well OF not.
Mrs. Foutz, wife Of the Brooklyn
manager, is a.most enthusiastic lover Of
the game. She knows the rules, can
pick out good plays and shows knowl-
edge of what constitutes winning ball.
She is particularly happy when the
Broolzlyns defeat the New Yorks, and
when the game goes the other way she

Rescue of virginia's Historic shrines.

From condition threatening an al
most total obliteration Of much that is
most desirable to cherish for reasons of
history and of a just pride of lineage the
women Of Virginia are now coming to
the rescue. They are doing what they
can to save historic houses, to keep in
tact churches that have survived from
the colonial period, to restore and pre-
serve inscriptions in churchyards and
cemeteries, to collect and insure tho pres
ervation of parish and county records
and other interesting manuscripts and
documents, to find and keep the furni-
ture and household effects of the oiden
time and in short to save everything of
antiquarian significance. When due re-
greet has been expressed for all that was
destroyed beyond recovery from 1860 to
1865, and for the far greater loss due to
the neglect during the rs years follow
ing the war, it is still true that Virginia
is yet marvelously rich in Surviving
historical subjects and materials. The |
task Of checking the further process of
destruction is one in which the daugh-
tiers of Virginia deserve the encourage
ment Of the whole nation. of
