straight over the center fielder, who had

being an objection 1t is an advantage, for
it is proof that the skin has been prop.
erly treated. The original shade of the
skin is soft buff or what is called
channels color. The best quality are
bleached in the sun by very tedious
process. The skins are first wet and tie,
hung OH line to dry, just as you would
hang ont an ordinary wash. When Ia

The method Of treatment shrinks the
leather, and the skins must be handled
by skilled laborers. Both Of thcse things
make the gloves more expensive. Sheep

the bleaching.
1.-THE proper way to wash them is in
tepid water, taking care to use plenty
Of white soap. They can either DO
washed on the hand or off. They should
be rinsed in strong tcpid soap suds and
not In clear water, because that takes
out the oil and makes the gloves hard.
The more they are washed the softer
and finer they become. They should
never be hung out, but rather pressed
ont, and then they should DO rolled in
q dry towel. Keep changing tho towel
until all of the water is absorbed, and
before the gloves are thoroughly dry
put them on tho hands.
