The Cav Little Canoe.

Il Ating of every sort is, after all,
the most enjoyable and healthful OF
summer sports, and for real, rOllicking,
exciting fun the summer girl has de.
cided that nothing compares with ca.
noeing. The canoe itself is a fascinat-
ing, bewitching little craft in its beauty
and gracefulness, and appeals to a
woman's aesthetic sensibilities as nc
other boat can.
Then one is so independent in her
little open or decked canoe, although
there is plenty to do, both for head and
hands. She must act as crew, captain,
pilot and ballast. She must look out
for squalls, boats, driftwood and waves.
The canoe Of which the maiden of SO
makes selection weighs eighteen
pounds, is 1Oiz feet in length, has a
26-inch beam, is made of cedar, with
oak ribs, and will carry eighty pounds

WORKS THE BATTER.
Why kittridge and DOnOhue. Of ChicagO,
Are So Successful as BaCkstOps.
Hurst Works II Too.

There Is a great deal to every ball
game which is not seen and noted by
the public in stand or bleachers. and one
of the chief features thus omitted from
popular understanding in the continual
verbal skirmishing which goes on be-
tween catcher, batter and umpire. The
crowd has an idea that the batsman
goes to the plate intent solely on hitting
the ball: that the catcher stands there
in mask and glove like some stern au-
tomaton. silent but effective and simply
watching and working. while the UNI
pire has nothing to say aside from his
monotone Of Bali" and ''Strike!"
AS matter of fact there is running
fire Of conversation at the plate, which
frequently bears heavy upon the re-
suits Of the game. The catcher tries his
best to guy and tease the batsman into
a seconds remissness In watching for
the ball, and the batter. II cool head
and long in the business. tries to rattle
both backstop and pitcher. Meanwhile
the umpire joins In with light and airy
persiflage and the conversation Is kept
up till the batsman Is finally disposed
Of.
Kittridge and Donohue, the Colt
catchers. are particularly expert in this
sort Of trickery. while Mike Kelly was
probably the greatest rattler Of bats

them They are on leave of absence

Ward has been suffering from a strain

best TO accede to his request to be left

and looks like one to the crowd. The
batter kicks and the crowd guys him,
when the man was really justified in
kicking by the fact that the catcher
had pulled down the ball.
"The reason Tim Hurst is so success
ful as an umpire" says Clements the
Quaker catcher, ''is not only because
he will break the face of any man who
insults him. but because h. joins in the
talk behind the rubber. Tim keeps up
