The Rev. Yaroo Nessan. a native of
Persia, is a graduate of the Theological
seminary of New York, expecting soon
to return to his native land as a mis-
sionary He naturally takes much in,
terest in the principal industry of his
country, and shows photographs OF
two young women who are expert rug
weavers. These women live in the
mountains Of Kurdstsan, one of the
four chief places not noted for thu
manufacture of rugs, or, as the peopls
of the East call them, carpets. Like
the Swiss watchmakers, the industry
desecnds from father to son, and from
mother to daughter. The making of
rug is often family affair, different
members working at different times
each choosing colors according to hik
own sweet will This accounts for the
difference Of design that the owner
sometimes deprecates, but which Is
really the best evidence Of the genuine
ness of the carpet.
The many mistakes in the matching
of color is due to the fact that. II the
wool runs short, the weaver will often
replace it with another that looks as
much like it as possible. The people

kee, who comes second. Next in the
list is another Kansas City man. Will
liams, with DUNCAN. Of Detroit, in
fourth place Glenalvin, of st. Paul, is
fifth. Glenalvin leads the league as a
sacrifice hitter, having made thirty-siX
during the season. The best Indianap-
oils batsman is MotZ, whose average is
.301, and he stands nineteenth in the
list. The st. Paul team, as a whole,
stood fifth in both fielding and batting,
and yet got fourth place handily. Co
lumbus stood second in fielding and
third in batting, and yet was a bad
fifth at the finish. Columbus trouble
was the pitching department.
In the field, Motz was the leading
first baseman, with an everage of 1856.
Hines led the second basemen, with an
average of .959; Nyce the third base
men, with .944; Allen the shortstops,
with .931; Genins the outflelders, with
1913; Speer the catchers, with .977, and
won more games than any other pitch
er, his record being 80 won and 10 lost.
In fielding, the members OF the St. Paul
team stood this way: First basemen,

twenty seventh.
The great base stealer was Campau,
who, old. as he is, purlOined sixty bags
during the season. DAILY, Of Milwaukee,
another of the ancients, stole f1fty-twO
bases, and Waldron, another Milwaukee
player, came next with fifty. Hog
riever, Of Indianapolis, stole forty-six,
and Geier, of st. Paul, and Weaver, of
Milwaukee, each thirty-eight. The
fastest man on his feet, however. was
Knoll, of Columbus, who stole thirty-five
bases in lightweight games.
Cook, Of Minneapolis, got the BOBBY
prize as an artist at batting where the
ball was not. He made two base hits
in eighteen games. Briggs, of Detroit,
did a little better, getting three hits
in the same number of games. Irwin,
Of Detroit, beat the pair out a trihe
by getting four hits in twenty-one
games.
