A Term Misapplied.

The term, 'south paw" as applied
to left handed baseball twirlers, is ia.
miliar to every fan" and is generally
supposed to have originated from the re-
lations of the pitchers position in the
box to the points of the compass. Prob
ably few persons have ever given the
matter second thought, and it is not
generally known that the right handed
twirler is the real south paw. Most base

the pitcher faces to the east, and his
right arm, not the left, is to the south
side. The diamonds are so arranged be-
cause the afternoon sun would shine

A NEW PARLOR GAME.
An Ingenious Diversion Full of Fun For

As tag is not considered decorous par

Outgrown our frocks and our nursery jim
giles, but our love of being amused is as
strong as when we clambered up into
mothers lap and asked for story.
To meet the need new game is sug-
gested by certain ingenious entertainer.
After all the guests are assembled they
present themselves to the hostess or her
aids and allow card to be affixed to their
backs. This card bears the name of a
we'll known character in fiction or history,
but it must not be seen by the person
wearing it.
The object of the game is to guess the
came of the character whose name you
bear. AS you cannot see your card, your
slews must be gained entirely from perti-
nent conversation with your fellows, who,
If course, are in possession of the informa-
ton you desire AS turn about is one of

cerning their identity, taking care never
to mention the name itself, only the Pc

the name on a man s back be Beau Brum-
mel, one could talk to him of the latest
fashions in mems apparel, and also of the
kingly fat friend.''

hostass, and later, when all have finished,
